Chapter 16
Dimension Delusion

The next morning every body was up including Sakura. But one digidestened was missing. Kari lay in her bed with a high fever and needs her rest. Sakura is very worried about her. She had never seen anybody get that high of a fever before. Sakura was forced to blade to school by herself. As she skated along she could have sworn that she felt something but wasn't sure off what it was. She decided to just worry about it later and concentrate and getting to school on time. But all of a sudden Sakura looks around her and doesn't recognise any of her surroundings. She turns around franticly trying to figure out where she might be. And to see maybe there was somebody that could help her to get to her school. Around and around she spun on her roller blades but still nothing just a headache from all the spinning. She decided to walk around and maybe she would find her way again.
"Where am I?" She screamed out.
"Where am I?" Her voice echoed back.
"What do you want from me?" She asked again.
"What do you want from me?" It echoed back once again.
"This is getting wired," Sakura told herself aloud.
Li also decided to walk to school. Even though it was a farther distance then T.K. or Kari places. He wanted to see the surroundings up close and not so fast. As he was walking he thought that he could see a girl that look exactly like Sakura. He decided to walk up closer to her to see if it really was. As he got closer he noticed that she was fading into the back round. He decided to yell out to her.
"SAKURA!" Li yelled. No answer so he yelled again, "SAKURA!" he did this many times over and over again. Still no answer.
"Did I just hear somebody calling me?" Sakura asked herself as she looked around. She saw no one. She was starting to get scared. "LI CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Sakura yelled. But he never answered.
"SAKURA!" Li screamed again. "I thought I heard you," Li said depressed. "Sakura you don't have to worry I will find you!" Li told himself and Sakura if she could hear him. What he didn't know was that Sakura was trapped in her own mind and he was in a parallel dimension, every body could see and hear Sakura but she can't see or hear them. Li can't be seen or heard by anyone but himself and the odd time Sakura. They both start to walk. Sakura looking like she has some sort of mental disability because of the way she was well not walking she still had her roller blades on. But eventually they walked right through each other. Sakura fell to the ground and started to cry she didn't like the place where she was she was all-alone. As she did this Li heart began to feel pain he knew that could mean two things. 1) Sakura was crying, 2) He was dying. For once Li hope to god that it was the first. Even though he didn't like to see his beloved cry it tore him up inside. He felt the pain for a long time, almost an hour, he knelt on the ground holding his chest the pain had increased. He began to scream out in pain. He could feel some of the stitches that were placed on his chest to close the wound. The pain was almost to the point that Li wanted to die right then and there but all of a sudden it started to ease. Somebody was behind him. He could feel a hand on his back. As he got up to turn around he saw this angelic figure. She had long black ash hair that reminded him of Madison's, she had a beautiful figure slender and well put. He started to speak.
"Who are you? You look familiar," Li asked her.
"I'm Sakura's mother," Natasia told him.
"S-Sakura's mother? But s-she dead," Li stuttered.
"Yes I am, I am here to help you. As well as Sakura. A great battle is before you, you must stop it before it is to late. I can't tell you much more than that. So please hurry find my daughter," And she faded away.
"Wait No! Don't Go! I still need your help," Li shouted after her. But it was no use she was gone. But luckily she took that awful pain in his chest away too. Li sat there for a little while until he thought that he heard something. "What was that?" He asked himself. "Sounds like somebody is crying," He told himself. Li decided to go and check it out. As Li walked closer to the figure, he found that it was Sakura. "Sakura?" He asked. There was no answer.
The lone girl sat crying until she thought that she heard something again. "Syaoran?" She asked. There was no answer. She looked around frantically and found nothing. Then off in the far distance she could see something flickering. She ran up to it and stopped a few meters before for a safe distance, just incase she had to run. She looked straight on until she finally saw what it was. "Shaoran!" She screamed and ran towards him. As she did this she ran through him again. "What the-" Sakura questioned. She went to grab him again but it was no use. "Syaoran, can't you hear me?" She asked him.
"Did somebody just say my name?" He asked while looking around. All of a sudden he could feel something touching his hand but there was nobody and nothing there. He pulled it back but now it felt as though somebody was hugging him. "This is to weird," He though aloud. But as he felt this "Invisible hug" he felt a sense of warmth the kind of warmth he felt when Sakura was beside him. "Sakura?" He asked stunned.
Sakura didn't hear him but she did start to talk, "Shaoran, where are you? I need you here by my side. Not as a hologram," She told him as she could feel his body returning or her body fading. She thought that as long as she kept holding on then they would be back together. She kept gripping tighter and tighter. Until she could hear a small cry of pain.
"AHH!" Li yelled who ever or what ever that was holding him was holding to tight he could hardly breath. "Can't...pant...Breath...pant..." Li said trying to grab as much air as possible. In the mean time Sakura was starting to appear before him. But Li couldn't see her because his eyes were closed to tight from all the pain. When she was completely there she looked up and saw Li in pain.
So she asked, "Shaoran? What's wrong?" She started to release her death grip on him and he fell down in pain. She had been holding onto the part on his chest where his wound was. He was now on the ground holding his chest in attempt to stop the pain. "Syaoran, are you okay?" She asked once again, this time Li asked.
"Who are you," He asked his eyes still closed.
"Shaoran it's me Sakura," She told him not wanting to believe that he wouldn't know who she is.
He started to open his eyes and look up. He saw yet another angel but this one was alive. It was his Sakura.
"Sakura?" he asked his vice full of pain.
"Yes its me, are you alright? You look like you are in so much pain," Sakura asked.
"I am in a lot of pain. Something was holding on to me to tightly, I couldn't breath," He told her. His voice sounding very small.
"Oh my, Syaoran I am afraid that was me," She confessed. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you I just couldn't stand being alone anymore and when I found you I couldn't let go," She explained.
"It's alright my cherry blossom, I will be fine I just need to rest-" He said as he fell into Sakura's arms. He had fainted. All that pressure was too much for him.
"Now how am I going to get out of here. I can't carry him, Li is way to heavy," Sakura thought for a while. Then an idea came to her head. She released her Star Key and called upon the Power. If Sakura could lift a huge penguin slide with this card then I think she could pick p and carry Li. "Power release your form inside me POWER!" she shouted. She could feel all the energy go through her. She picked Li up and started to walk. Although she wad no idea where she was going. Sakura walked around for almost an hour with Li in her arms. She was getting so tired. She could start to feel the Power Card returning to it Card form. She was about to give up when she saw this bright light that was just over a hill and past some trees. Sakura once seeing this ran towards it. She got there pretty fast considering the heavy load she has in her arms. She walks up to the light and decides to go straight through. One step at a time very slowly she started to walk through. Once she could see what was in front of her she collapse in the middle of a busy street. People are staring and who wouldn't two young teenagers lying in the middle of a busy sidewalk. Every body is to caught up in their own business to even notice that they aren't breathing all that well. And need a doctor. But all of a sudden a young man stepped up to them and tried to talk to them.
"Hey, Hey you guys alright in there?" He asked quiet a few times. There was very little movement from either of the two bodies just a little moan of pain every now and then. "Hey, we need some help over here! These people are hurt!" The young man screamed out. But again nobody listened. Then he got out his cell phone and dialled 911. (I don't know what it is in Japan) He told them that there was and young man and a young woman lying in the middle of a sidewalk, and that they haven't moved in almost 30 min. they had a pulse but not a very high active pulse. As the ambulance was coming up the guy spoke kind words to them to make sure that they weren't scared even though he didn't know if he could here them. "It'll be alright you two. The ambulance is on its way. Just for future reference my name is Ross, I hope to find out your name soon," He told them.
"Sa...ku...ra," Said a very small voice. It was Li he couldn't feel her aura anymore it was too weak even to notice. And also the warmth of her body is gone.
"Oh so your name is Sakura huh?" he asked Li. He tried to speak again.
"Sak..ura, where is she?" this was said very slowly also trying to get up.
"Oh then you must be Sakura," He said looking down at the angel in his arms. Li was on the ground in front of them. "Well nice to meet you Sakura. And what is you name?" he asked Li.
"Li?" Said Sakura's small voice from the mans arms. She didn't know that she wasn't in Li's arms so she was hugging him pretty tight.
"So you name is Li huh? Well I'm also guessing that this little lady belongs to you no?" He asked.
"Yes," Li answered shortly.
"Look the ambulance is here. Come we need to get you to a hospital," He said as they came up and put Li on a stretcher. And did the same with Sakura. Ross asked if maybe he could come along with them to see if they are alright. They said it was okay so he got in and again started talking with them. It was only like five minutes until they got to the hospital again. But it was a different hospital though so this time Li wouldn't have a giant bodyguard in front of his door. Li had fallen asleep again. And Sakura never really fully awoke. So Sakura was the first to wake in the hospital. She didn't know that she was in the hospital though so she was kinda worried.
"Where am I?" she asked for like the third time today.
"In the hospital," A voice answered.
"Li!" She said happily.
"No, sorry I'm not Li, he's next door, um maybe I shouldn't tell you," He told her worried that what he has to say would cause her to do something drastic.
"NO! What happened to Shaoran?" Sakura Demanded.
"Wait, wait a moment. I thought you wanted to know what happened to Li?" he asked confused.
"I do that's why I'm asking what happened to Shaoran?" Sakura yelled again.
"Oh, so you mean this Shaoran guy and Li are the same person?" Ross asked.
"Yes Li is his last name. Syaoran is his fist name," Sakura told him.
"So now what's up with his first name, he has two or what?" He asked still confused.
"No Syaoran is his first name, but my name for him is Shaoran," Sakura explained once again.
"Ah so you to are lovers eh?" He asked Sakura just blushed.
"Well I guess you could use that term. Now tell me what happened to Syaoran?" Sakura demanded.
"Okay well he is in the critical care unit, his heart and all that is in pretty bad shape," Before he could say anymore Sakura said.
"I need to talk to him now!" Sakura told him.
"You can't your not well enough either. I can make a suggestion that when he is moved out of the critical care unit that he be put in here with you. But right now you are to weak to get out of bed," He told her.
"Oh no what time is it?" Sakura asked.
"Um, around 2:30 p.m. why?" He asked.
"OH god, Mrs. Kamiya is going to kill me. And what about Mrs. Izumi. I need to use a phone now!" Sakura again demanded.
"Alright, alright just don't get out of bed," he said and he went and got the phone.
Sakura dialled Kari's number first, "Moshi Moshi, Kamiya residence, Kari speaking."
"Kari, it's me Sakura."
"Sakura why aren't you at school?" Kari asked she was still pretty sick.
"Because I'm in the hospital. Listen I need you to call Izzy's house and tell them that Li and I are at the hospital. I don't know the name of it but it's not the same one as before. Syaoran is in the critical care unit I'm really worried about him. Also could you tell Madison that I'm here. I know she is probably worried sick that I didn't show up for class today. I'll explain how we got here later right now can you phone them for me?" Sakura pleaded.
"Of course Sakura, anything I can do to help. Just tell me you're not in the critical care unit too?" Kari asked hoping the answer she got was no.
"No I'm not its only Li that's there. I'm so worried about him. And how are you doing? Is you fever down?" Sakura asked.
"I'm fine Sakura. You should rest we will talk later. Phone me since I don't know where you are alright?" Kari asked.
"Alright. Bye," she said and hung up the phone.
"Bye."
"God please let Syaoran be alright. I need him he's my protector," Sakura pleaded.
"He'll be alright but you need rest. I have to head out but I will come back if you want me to?" He asked.
"It doesn't matter. All I want is Shaoran," Sakura said as she turned to face her pillow.
"Alright, I'm gone bye," He said as he closed the door. "Soon card mistress soon." After that Sakura fell into a sleep with many dreams. But not all-good ones. In the middle of the night Sakura woke up on a dead sweat.
"SYAORAN!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as a nurse came in to she what was the matter.
"What's wrong Ms. Avalon?" The nurse asked.
"Please I need to see Li!" Sakura pleaded.
"I'm sorry but you can't he needs his rest and so do you. Now go back to sleep. Perhaps you will see him in the morning. This all depends on how he is doing," With that the nurse left. She was left all alone wondering how her beloved was doing. Meanwhile in the other room where Syaoran was he couldn't sleep. He had finally awoke and could only think of his cherry blossom. He would have gotten out of bed and over to where Sakura was but he was tied down with all these machines and needles in him. He hated the thought of not being able to leave on a dime. Something about being confined just brought a horrible feeling. He sighed as he gave up.
"Sakura...." And then he fell asleep.
Back to Sakura she on the other hand was not tied down by any machines or thing like that. So she got up slowly and quietly began her way towards his room. Ross had told her where it was. She was almost there when she could hear footsteps coming forward. She duck behind something that kinda look like a trash can and waited for the person to pass. When it did Sakura got back up and slowly opened the door to his room. She could see across the room a bed with somebody lying in it. She went up closer to make sure it was him. As she got closer she could feel his weak green aura. She tried to hide hers a bit so he wouldn't get startled. When she reached his bed she climbed in and snuggled up close to him and fell asleep. After doing this Syaoran woke up and didn't know what was holding on to him again. But as he looked to the side he saw a beautiful site his angel. He was shocked at first not knowing how she had gotten there but was happy to feel her warm embrace. He bent down and kissed her goodnight on the forehead then he himself fell back to sleep himself.
When morning came and the nurse came in to check on Li, she was very surprised to see Sakura right beside him in bed.
"Ahem!" She almost screamed.
"Hoe?" Sakura was the first to awake.
"What are you doing here young lady?" The nurse asked. (It was the same one that said that she couldn't go see Li the night before)
"Well you see, Uh," Sakura Stuttered. Li woke up.
"What's going on here?" He asked.
"This young lady invaded you peace, Mr. Li," She told him.
"This young Lady just happens to be my girlfriend. And she is not invading anything. If anything she is helping the peace," Li shouted back.
"Li, it's okay really I should have stayed in my room. I was just lonely that's all," Sakura pointed out. Voice getting smaller with every word
"Yes you should have. Now if you would come with me back to your own room, Ms. Avalon," The nurse insisted.
"Uh, sure let's go. I'll see you later Shaoran," Sakura said before leaving.
"Bye," Li replied. "Now what? This is so boring. There is nothing to do in hospitals. I would practice my sword but I don't think they would like that. Besides I'm tied down," Li said as he tried again to get free. Back with Sakura the nurse was very mad.
