Save A Heart Chapter 2

- - syaoran - -

I arrived at my flat at 12.30pm. I hung around until 1pm and she finally arrived.

"Li Syaoran. Nice to meet you Kinomoto-san."

"Nice to meet you too Li-san," she said.

"Please, call me Syaoran. Now I'll show you around the flat."

I climbed the stairs into a hallway and climbed another set of stairs with Sakura close behind.

I knew she didn't recognise me. And she was so thin! And the way she talked - without much expression - meant that she hadn't been to well. Poor Sakura.

"Here we are," I said.

I opened the door to the flat and led Sakura in. I showed her around the flat and then showed her her room.

"This would be your room. It's not much."

Sakura looked around. She also sniffed the air a bit.

sniffed the air? O.o

"How much is it weekly?" she asked.

"$140 weekly, because you'll be sharing with me." I replied.

I don't know how the Yen goes! Let's just leave it in dollars yeah? ^0^

"That'd include the food and the bills. But you'd have to help with the cleaning and all."

Sakura seemed to think for a bit more. Then she said "I'll take it!"

I smiled. She made a small smile. I smiled even more broadly when I saw her smile.

"So when can I move in?" she asked.

I looked at her and then I looked at the bags she was carrying and said, "Anytime you want. Today is even OK. But we'll have to organise some time to sign all the renting contracts."

"OK. So.I can move in today?"

"Hai." I smiled again.

Sakura looked around her furnished room and reached for her bags.

"Would you like me to help you with your things, Kinomoto-san?" I asked (I was being polite!!!)

"Iie, no need Syaoran-kun. And don't call me that please~ It makes me sound old!"

"Well OK.Um.I'll get the vacuum cleaner to get the dust out OK?" "Arigato."

I left the room and smiled. Sakura didn't look so sad. But she wasn't very happy either. I wanted to see her smile and laugh. I wanted her to be happy. And for some reason, I wanted to do it. I wanted to be the one to save her heart - the heart that I knew would be a very kind and loving heart.

I returned to Sakura's room with the vacuum to find that she had already finished unpacking.

"That was quick!" I said.

"Hai.As you can see I don't have many things."

"Anyway, Sakura-chan?...Have a break while I vacuum."

"Iie, I can do it. You have a rest. I insist!"

"Umm.if you really want to."

And Sakura smiled again.

I smiled back and went to my room.

I closed my door and started to search through my drawers for my school photos. I finally found them. (I had kept them all these years because.because.don't worry!)

There was Sakura, who had been in every single class of mine. She looked so drained of energy. Poor Sakura. She looked so.lonely.so in need of someone to take care of her. I was such a coward! Why didn't I help? Why did I just give up?

Suddenly I heard the soft droning of the vacuum cleaner stop, so I carefully covered up my photos and went outside.

- - Sakura - -

I finished vacuuming and went passed the small bathroom to find Syaoran-kun coming out of his room. He looked at me for a moment. Our eyes locked. And for some reason I felt myself heating up.

"Have you eaten, Sakura-chan?" he asked.

"Hoe? Oh.hai." I replied.

"Oh OK.Well do you have anything planned for today?" He seemed unusually nervous.

"I've got to go to work.why?"

"Oh nothing. Just asking. Well I have to go out for my classes.so.I'll be back at around 5pm OK? Oh yeah, and here are your keys."

Syaoran has afternoon classes at uni (Tokyo High - but didn't know Sakura went there because she goes during the weekday mornings only) and he is studying.law.(he's so smart!)

I took the keys and waved him good-bye as he got his coat and scarf. I closed the door and sat down at the small dinner table to think for a while.

Why did Syaoran-kun feel so familiar to me?

It was as if I had spent a long time with him but had never noticed. I still couldn't think of an answer, no matter how hard I tried to remember.

Suddenly I felt a cold breeze blow into the room. I didn't like the cold. It seemed too harsh, and cruel sometimes.just like my life.

I looked around the house to find an open window and finally found one in Syaoran's room. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to go in, but I went in anyway - I was just closing a window!

I locked the window tight but as I was going outside, something caught my eye. I started to reach for something that looked oddly familiar but then stopped myself and left the room.

I looked at my watch. It was 3.30pm!

"HOEEEEE! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!"

Some habits will stay forever~!! ~_~*

I quickly gathered the things I needed and rushed out.

~Later in the evening~

- - syaoran - -

It was 7pm. And I must say that it was very cold - being winter! I tightened my scarf around my neck and shoved my hands into my pocket.

I know I had told Sakura that I'd be home at 5.But something had come up.

I arrived at home and found a lump of black sitting on the steps, shivering.

I neared the figure and found that it was. "SAKURA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?"

She made no reply so I gently shook her. And again. And again.

What was wrong with her?!?!?!

poor Syaoran! very distressed!

I scooped her up (and she was VERY light) and quickly ran up the stairs to our flat. I fumbled with my keys to unlock the door and kicked the door open.

He's had training from his family back in Honk Kong! o.O

I gently lay Sakura on her bed, removed her shoes and covered her up.

Why had she been outside? And for how long? What happened to the keys I gave her?

I looked around the house and FOUND THE KEYS ON THE DINNER TABLE! Sakura must have forgotten them!

I went back to Sakura's room and nursed her. I touched her forehead and found that it was very hot. I knew that I shouldn't wake her up.the medicine will have to wait. Rest was the first priority.

I quietly brought a chair to Sakura's side. I sat down and watched her. Her face was pink because of the wind and the cold. Poor Sakura.She must have been waiting for me to come.All my fault!!!

"Gomen nasai Sakura." I whispered as I took her thin hand.

- - Sakura - -

I felt so weak. But I was warm. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself in my room. I sat up a bit and found Syaoran-kun sleeping against my bed.

He was holding my hand.And I blushed!

I carefully took my hand away.

Syaoran-kun must have arrived last night. And brought me up. He must have been very worried to find me out there!

I was so stupid to have forgetten the keys!

Thinking that Syaoran-kun would arrive soon, I had sat down on the steps and I must have nodded off.

Oh I was so stupid!

Suddenly I started coughing. I couldn't stop. My chest hurt so much from coughing.

Instantly Syaoran-kun woke up.

"SAKURA!" he saw me coughing and ran to get me a cup of water. He returned and I drank deeply.

Syaoran-kun looked VERY worried. He was looking at me so intently.

I stared back for a while and.I couldn't help it.And I STARTED LAUGHING.

"Hahahahahhahaa!"

"What?" Syaoran asked, still concerned.

"You're so funny Syaoran!!!!"

I continued to laugh. It felt like I hadn't laughed for so many years. I laughed and laughed as I watched Syaoran look at me.

When my laughter finally died down, he reached for my forehead and asked, "Are you feeling OK now, Sakura?"

"Hai! But I think I've got a cold but I am OK!"

"OK, I'll get you a cup of honey-milk.give me a sec."

I drank honey-milk! I tried it and it's very nice! ^o^

When Syaoran-kun returned I sipped at the honey-milk.

"Gomen nasai, Syaoran-kun.For worrying you.and then laughing at you.but you looked so funny.all worried and that.and to tell you the truth.I haven't laughed like that for many years."

"Well I'm glad you're OK Sakura.Do you know how much you scared me? I was so worried!...And it was my fault."

"Iie! I was the one that left the keys at home. It was my entire fault. The only thing you should be guilty of is saving me from the cold and bitter weather! Arigato gozaimasu Syaoran-kun."

"Any time Sakura.and you should rest. You are still sick you know!"

"Good thing today it Sunday! I can rest all day!" I smiled.

Syaoran warmly smiled back and got up.

"Call me if you need anything Sakura.I'll be here for you OK?"

"Arigato." and I sunk into my blankets. He gently closed the door.

"Thank you sooo much Syaoran-kun.Thank you so much!" and I fell asleep.
