Nursing of the Heart Part 3: Chills and Spills
A spark of commotion had been lit within the snowed-in students of Tomoeda Elementary.
Rumours spread like wildfire, girls chattering excitedly in corners, whispers of "did you hear"
and "guess what I heard" could be heard if you listened hard enough.
Two students down with a mystery illness
One student rescued from the snow, out cold, literally.
Possible romances?
Tomoyo pushed her way through the crowd, pausing momentarily every now and again to apologise for crushing feet in her haste. In panic, completely out of character shoving a group of curious girls away from her dormitory entrance, slamming the door shut behind her.
"Tomoyo-chan..Is that you?" Came Sakura's anxious voice from her bedroom. Tomoyo stalling shortly to check Meiling, still passed out on the plush couch.
'If it wasn't for your foolishness Eriol-kun wouldn't be sick now...' Tomoyo thought bitterly, before striding to where Sakura and the boys were.
Sakura wrung out a damp cloth into a small dish, leaving only a small amount of the cool liquid in the material before re-applying it to Syaoran's hot forehead. Cringing at the whimper of pain he let out when the coolness of the rag touched his warm skin, Sakura ran her hand down his cheek, the motion calming him somewhat.
Getting up from her seat, Sakura checked on Eriol, deciding that his compress could do with another rinse through the cold water as well, and proceeded to dip it into the dish. Tomoyo however took the cloth from Sakura's hands and smiled.
"You watch Syaoran. I'll take this one"
Sakura's tired face brightened at her friend's spirit and nodded. "Okay!"
Later that evening, Tomoyo was seriously considering murdering Meiling.
"I say we kill her."
Sakura, shocked, was horrified at the idea.
"Oh, but that's awful Tomoyo...I mean..well.."
"Oh Sakura..." Tomoyo snapped "Every five seconds it's get me this, and fetch me that and oh be a darling and change the radio station...as if it's not bad enough that the boys are still sick..."
"I say she's faking" came Chiharu's impatient voice from behind them. "Could I use the sink? Thanks." As The girls moved Sakura tapped Chiharu on the shoulder.
"Why would she lie to us?" Tilting her head to the side while nonchalantly mixing Meiling's hot cocoa, Sakura threw a gaze to Meiling, who as soon as she saw the auburn girl looking at her, quickly grabbed her stomach and moaned,
"Sakura...that cocoa would really make me feel better ooh my poor stomach"
"Oh sorry Meiling..." taking the hot cup over, Sakura bent down and passed it to the supposedly sick young girl lying on the couch.
Taking a sip, Meiling shrieked and spilled a little of the hot drink down her front.
"It's hot!"
Apologising profusely, Sakura tried to gather up the blanket Meiling had to clean up the mess, and accidentally tipped her elbow, spilling the entire cup over the black headed girl.
"Oh gosh sorry...sorry, oops...oh no..sorry"
More and more apologies as Sakura tried to clean up more mess, tipping Meiling off the couch, onto the cold floor, ruining the only long couch and accidentally ripping the magazine she had previously been reading while relaxing.
Meiling threw her arms into the air, gave an enormous glare at Sakura, and stormed off to the washroom.
Chiharu and Tomoyo watched on with amusement, which turned into gales of laughter as Sakura came trundling back into the kitchen with a vicious smile on her face, which vanished in seconds.
"Oh I do hope Meiling-chan is alright..."
Tomoyo and Chiharu couldn't speak. They were gasping for air, clutching their sides on the floor.
Sakura shrugged and headed back into the living room to clean up some of the mess that she had made shifting Meiling from her comfy perch, accidentally slipping on some of the spilt cocoa on the way, shrieking loudly for the entire dorm to hear.
Helping Sakura up, Tomoyo glanced towards the room where the sick boy were currently resting, quickly taking note of the pale, english boy leaning tiredly on the doorframe, coughing.
Setting Sakura down, Tomoyo raced to scold him, and send him back to bed, when he finally got his sentence out.
"descendant...help him Tomoyo-san.."
Indeed, Syaoran was lying on the floor of the room, passed out again. Sitting Eriol back onto his bed, Sakura was by Syaoran's side in seconds, and Tomoyo questioned Eriol;
"What happened? why did he get out of bed?"
"Sakura-san..he thought she was in danger.." he whispered weakly, leaning on Tomoyo for support, and she eased him slowly backwards and tucked the covers over him, briefly feeling his forehead for temperature. Jumping slightly at the intense heat radiating from his skin, Tomoyo whipped out the compress and applied it again, turning to help Sakura.
Sakura, by now had picked Syaoran up half ways, and was trying to get him back into bed.
His tired eyelids cracked open slightly, "Sakura...alright?"
"Fine. Just a little spill"
Tomoyo, trying her best not to crack out laughing, focused back on Eriol.
Smiling, Sakura helped him lie down once more, applied the cool cloth and turned to head back to clean the room outside.
Syaoran however was not having it and gripped her hand, pulling her back down to sit next to him.
"Stay?"
Sakura sighed. Chiharu would have to clean the mess. Or better yet, make Meiling. It was her fault anyway.
"Okay."
Tomoyo inwardly shrieked. Their hands were still intertwined.
