Chapter Six

Save a tiger's soul, I got to save our lives

The doctor softly touched Sakura's forehead, only to recoil from it, "This poor girl is boiling, she's way over the 37 degrees Celsius point" he remarked.

Fujitaki nodded sadly, "Is there anything that we can do?"

The doctor's mouth formed a frown, "I suppose I could give you some medication that could slow down the virus. But as for the rest it's up to her,"

All three stared at the now sleeping Sakura, who was drifting in and out of conscience in her bed. Beside her, a stuffed teddy bear with angel wings, which had belonged to Sakura for eight years now, laid.

Touya was cursing under his breath; "Damn you Baka, just had to get yourself sick didn't you?" this was his way of showing his concern.

Fujitaki accompanied the doctor to the door, " Mr. Kinomoto, make sure that Sakura receives a lot of fluid and remains within her bed until I give the finally okay."

After the doctor left, Fujitaki entered the kitchen to find Touya with clenched fist slammed on the table.

"Why does Sakura have to cause so much fucking trouble?" he yelled

"Shhhhhhhhh. Touya your sister is sleeping," Fujitaki had already gotten used to Touya's constant swearing.

"Why? Huh, Why?"

"Sakura has been have a hard two years."

"So have I, but you don't see me going of trying to kill myself in the rain." Fujitaki was about to silence him but Touya continued, "And what about Tomoyo, she's Sakura's friend, why in hell's name isn't she her."

"She's not home Touya,"

Touya picked up a chair and hurled it across the room, "Why does Sakura have to be always suffering its unfair."

"That's not for us to decide." Fujitaki whispered. Touya saw that Fujitaki was suffering as much as he and managed to cool down a little.

The coughing of Sakura could be heard, " I better give her some water," Fujitaki took his leave.

It took about a full month for Sakura to regain her old strength, and despite her constant complaints of being allowed some fresh air and to move freely again; Fujitaki and Touya gave her a straight answer.

"NO!"

"Why not Dad, come on I am strong, I can move now."

"The doctor hasn't given the okay yet."

Sakura pouted "I am like a caged bird,"

"Well, you should've thought about that before you went and got yourself sick Squirt,"

"Shuddup," cracked Sakura, causing both the guys to laugh.

Now, Sakura strolled at a snails-pace towards the kitchen, the lack of leg activity, had left her legs feeling like noodles and unstable. Touya assisted her. "You know you could walk a little bit faster,"

"Relax Touya, I haven't been walking for a month, I want to absorb all of this."

For the first time in a month, the whole family finally ate dinner together, some (ahem) more hungry then others. Touya gazed in disbelief as Sakura gulped down, on course meal after another.

"She's eating just like Yukito,"

"Sh! Touya," scolded Fujitaki, "she needs this food to regain energy."

Sakura didn't care, her belly begged for all the food, and she would've ate the whole table, if it weren't for her father, actually thinking that she was eating too much.

"Father. Has Tomoyo called lately." Touya stared at Fujitaki nervously, clenching his fists underneath the table.

"No. Sorry Sakura."

Disappointed, Sakura glared at the table, " Of course," she murmured.

"Well!" she leapt out of her chair startling Touya with her quick change in mood, "Supper was great dad, thanks. I need to go to my room."

"Did you bring me the pudding?" The stuffed toy came back to life. Mumbling Sakura pulled the chocolate pudding out from behind her.

"Here Kero," Kero greedily began to devour his favourite desert. Sakura stared, scared by his appetite, just as Touya was with hers.

"Kero, I think that you should eat slower."

"Well," Kero spoke between the bites and swallowing, "with you being sick for a month and all, I had no chances of receiving my nutrition's,"

"Nutrition's I bet!" muttered Sakura underneath her breath

"The only time I was able to get food, was when both your father and Touya left the house, which was practically never since they were nursing you."

"This," Kero pointed his spoon evilly towards Sakura, "Is all your fault,"

Sakura backed away in fear "Jeez Kero-chan I am sorry,"

Kero's mood lit up, "that's alright," and he went back to devouring.

Several weeks later and Sakura still hasn't heard from Tomoyo.

"Touya, could you turn on the TV for me?"

"No way squirt, do it yourself," Touya raised his hands in protest. Everything was back to normal.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, Baka it's right beside you," Touya was really pushing Sakura's patience. It didn't matter though; Touya made it clear that he wasn't going to lift a single finger. Grumbling Sakura stomped her way to the TV and switched it onto the news channel. The same broadcaster for the past ten years once again was located somewhere in Tomeoda delivering daily news to the citizens. Hurriedly gulping down her noodle soup, Sakura paid no attention to the broadcaster until,

"I am here at was once a carnival,"

Sakura automatically dismissed the broadcaster. She didn't want to hear any reminders of Shoaran or Tomoyo. She came close to switching the channel when the broadcaster spoke again.

"Only hours again, this was once a happy and joyful place filled with laughter of parents, children, teenagers and people all ages. But now is a desolate area, abandoned by all its people, and all for one reason, " Sakura intensively listened, the situation sounded very suspicious to her,

"It was only ten minutes again, when all the rides took aflame, causing very serious hazards. Fortunately the flames hurt nobody. However a girl the age of eighteen with long purple hair has been taken hostage by what appears to be a crazed man covered in black, who's motivates are yet unclear. Although the name of the man hasn't been confirmed, sources tell me that the girl is Tomoyo Daidouji, daughter of the owner of a major corporation,"

Sakura gasped in horror and backed away from the TV, causing her to tumble on one once of table chairs. Despite the pain that was all over her body, all she could think of was Tomoyo.

"Hey squirt are you okay? I thought I heard someone fall,"

Touya came into the kitchen only to discover it completely empty.

"Sakura?"

"Tomoyo," Sakura heaved deeply as she sprinted at ballet train-speed towards Eriol's amusement park. Fear gripped her heart tightly thinking about Tomoyo. Coughing, as she ran caused her great pain in her throat, seeing as it is she never could fully recover from that illness. The ground no long was clear; everything became distorted through Sakura's eyes, which disrupted her running. It was all a blur. Yet she withstood the difficulty she wasn't about to let her friend die, not now, yet. The park grand Ferris wheel came into view, Sakura had reached her destination.

Tomoyo cried, all around her were mirrors, all designed for the talent of confusion. Right in front of her a man holding a knife, threatened her with her life. She couldn't understand it, a minute ago she was walking in broad day light babysitting, the Hikuru's children, when she saw the Ferris wheel take aflame. Screams were everywhere, everything was a complete disaster, and somewhere she lost site of the children. Running for cover in the crazy house of mirrors, Tomoyo lost her way, and now she was being used as a hostage, for what? She had no idea.

Sakura sneaked in by the south side of the park, police were all over the grounds rushing everywhere to find Tomoyo. Sakura knew that they would never reach her in time. She had no choice but to find her herself. For five minutes, she sneaked about the grounds, running to close calls several times; she was about to go to the north end of the park, when the crazy house of mirror caught her eye. An evil ara surrounded all of it. Heedlessly she runs towards it.

"Tomoyo!"

"Please I don't know what you want," pleaded Tomoyo

"Sakura…" the figure hissed. Tomoyo's eyes widened in shock, he was after Sakura

"I ..I am not Sakura,"

The figure screeched so load that it came close to shuttering Tomoyo's ears, Tomoyo watched in horror, as the figures knife transformed into a sword. He was going to be heading her. Tomoyo closed her eyes waiting for the blow to happen, but it never came.

"Tomoyo," Tomoyo turned to see a pair of emerald eyes heading towards her.

"Sakura," Sakura immediately grabbed her hand and darted out the nearest exit. Tomoyo shuddered at how cold Sakura's hands had become.

"Sakura, I am so sorry."

"It's alright Tomoyo, it was my fault, I should've opened up to you more." Tomoyo's eyes were filled with tears, as she hugged her dear friend for the first time in a month.

"Right now we have to find a way out of here," Sakura whispered

Tomoyo nodded, and off they went, two girls wondering within the dark, as a shadow hunted for them.

Five minutes past when they found themselves at the point where they had started.

"Sakura," Tomoyo's gripped tightened and Sakura knew why. Before them was the cloaked figure, "Sakura. Clow.." it hissed.

Screaming for help Tomoyo and Sakura sprinted out the other way, where a bright light came into view.

"It's the exit," Tomoyo never felt so happy in her life. However the figure wasn't going to let it happen, a flash of lightening emerged from his sword and striked the foundation above the exit. Sakura saw this.

"Stupid bastard, he's going to make the exit collapsed." Tomoyo glanced back at Sakura, as she ran, and judging by Sakura's eyes she knew what she was going to do.

"Sakura.. you can't" But it was already too late, since Sakura had already shoved Tomoyo out the exit.

Falling on the ground, Tomoyo's gaze met up with the exit, which she had emerged from, and watched in horror as it caved in, leaving Sakura trapped with that psychopath.

"Oh Tomoyo, thank god," Eriol came rushing to hug her.

Tomoyo saw immediately that Eriol had used a powerful sleeping spell on all the police members , who now where snoring away on the cement streets..

"Eriol, Sakura's trapped in there with him." Tomoyo cried on Eriol's shoulder. Eriol was followed by Suppi, Rubi, Kero and Yue.

"So our card mistress is trapped within there?" Yue's voice was covered with concern

Tomoyo nodded her head, while Kero continued to stare at the caved exit.

"I wish you luck, my half-daughter," Eriol whispered. There was nothing that he could do to help her. It was up to Sakura's strength to guide her.

Suppi: Just great another cliff hanger

Fruity: hehehehehe

Suppi: And why did you mention Kero, I am so much cooler

Fruity: I had to

Suppi: No one forced you

Fruity: I wanted to

Suppi: What? TRAITOR!
