Save A Heart

CHAPTER 3

- - sakura - -

################dream start################

"Sakura! Come quick!" Sonomi cried. I ran into the hospital. My heart was thumping so violently that I thought it was going to burst out of me. I ran as fast as I could, to Daidouj-san, forgetting about everything else. I stopped abruptly as she took my hand and led me into a ward.

The sight before me hit me so hard that I fell. I fell hard onto the cool hospital floor. I ignored the throbbing pain in my knees and hands. Tears were coming like there was no tomorrow. I was sobbing loudly and screaming. Daidouji-san picked me up but I shoved her away and ran to the two beds.

My Dad. My loving Dad, was lying there in the bed - motionless. I grabbed his hand and cried even more loudly. Who had done this to him? Who had hurt my Dad? My favourite Dad? My loving Dad. My only Dad. The Dad who had brought me up, alone without my dear mother. The Dad who had held me tight when I was sad. The Dad who had bandaged my knee when I had hurt myself. The Dad who had helped me with my homework. The Dad who had always been there for me!

"Noooooo!" I cried.

The tears were stinging my eyes. They were coming so fast. Then I turned to the other bed. There was my brother. Dear Touya. I rested my head on him and wailed. The brother who had been so protective of me had been hurt.

"Be careful Kaijuu!" he'd snigger.

"I'm NOT a KAIJUU!" I'd pout.

No matter how annoying he was, he'd always be on the lookout for me......

My dear brother..And Dad!

-IN A CRITICAL CONDITION! ALL BECAUSE OF SOME LUNATIC DRIVER!

As my sobs quietened, I heard the beeps of the heart monitor slow down. It was becoming slower and slower. I just sat there, watching it...until the zig zag lines became a single....straight line...

"DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I dropped my pens (I was doing homework) and rushed to Sakura's room.

There she was, a pitiful Sakura, crying. I quickly went to her side, to wake her up from her nightmare.

"Sakura! Wake up!" I shook her.

"It's OK! Come on Sakura! Everything's alright!"

"NO IT'S NOT!" she cried, "MY FAMILY IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!" And she cried louder. I picked her up and held her close to me. She was trembling so much. I did my best to soothe her. I didn't want to see her like this. I didn't want her in such pain.

"Everything's going to be OK, Sakura.." I stroked her hair, "You have a future and you can make the best of it - so everything is going to be fine.you know it will be fine.I know you can do it Sakura."

Sakura continued to cry but she calmed down. And I continued to hold her tight. Sakura needed the support.

I wonder what had happened to her family.I know that it is none of my business.but.I just wanted to know.so that I could help.

As if reading my mind, Sakura whispered, "They were involved in an accident.Some crazy driver crashed into them.sob.a head on accident.they were on their way to school to pick me up after cheerleading practise.my fault!...for asking them to pick me up so we could go out to eat dinner altogether.all my fault!"

"No, Sakura, it wasn't your fault! It was the other person's fault. Don't blame it on yourself. That would just weaken your confidence and you'd get nowhere."

"But I was being selfish!..."

"Everyone has their wants, Sakura.It's OK to be selfish once in a while. You can't always be caring for others.you're a person too Sakura.so don't blame it on yourself."

Sakura let go of me and looked at me.

"Syaoran.would you excuse me for a bit?...I think I should have some time to think now."

"OK.but DON'T blame yourself.it was NOT your fault......if it helps..I heard this from my mother when my father passed many years ago. All the people on Earth are angels.well let's just say angels in disguise.and they come down to Earth for a holiday.and when they leave, it's to go home to Heaven.you know?...they go back because they have had their share of having fun and living and Earth and have to go back to continue their job of watching over us.So in the end.life is but a journey and death.is returning home." Then I left Sakura with her thoughts.

I returned to my studies but I could get nothing into my head. My thoughts kept on wandering to the thoughts of my father.but I shook my head.I didn't want my past to interfere with my life.I hated to feel useless and weak.

I went to the kitchen and started to cook dinner. (Stir fry tonight!)

I quickly gathered the necessary ingredients and put them in a mini wok (from Hong Kong!). I was just about finished when.

"Smells good!"

I turned to see a smiling Sakura. Yep - you heard me right, a SMILING Sakura. The same Sakura who had had an emotional breakdown.

"Of course it does! I made it!" I grinned.

"Oh - Syaoran-kun!...Here let me help.I'll set up the table."

Then I realised that Sakura hadn't eaten since last night - if she had had any dinner last night! I loaded her plate with food and set it on the table, served myself and took my seat at the table.

Sakura's eyes widened when she saw what I had placed in front of her.

"You want me to eat ALL of that Syaoran-kun?"

"No, I put it there so you could look at it!"

She pouted (she looked so cute!) O.O Syaoran?.

"You haven't had anything to eat since yesterday, Sakura-chan. It's all yours."

"Come to think of it I HAVEN'T eaten since then!"

"Dig in, Sakura."

Both of us enjoyed our meal - Sakura smiling and eating properly for once.

- - sakura - -

The food was DELICIOUS! I hadn't had food that tasted this good since..well.since my father had cooked..but it was GREAT. I couldn't believe that I was this lucky to have Syaoran-kun as my roommate!

"This is great stuff Syao-kun!" I smiled.

SYAO-KUN? A NICKNAME????? O.o

Syaoran-kun smiled back.

"All for you, Sakura-chan."

For some reason this made me blush slightly but I smiled again and said, "I think you should ALWAYS do the cooking now Syao-kun!"

"Then you'll have to always do the cleaning and washing Sakura-chan!"

"Cleaning AND the washing? Oh Syao-kun, so many chores!"

He seemed to think for a bit and I thought that he was going to be NICE and let me go but he said,

"Yep! The cleaning AND the washing! And I could just sit around and watch you!"

I simply pouted then. After all these years of living by myself, I still didn't like to do chores

"But I won't sit around and watch you, Sakura," he said, "I'll help you."

I cracked another smile. I can't remember smiling so much in one day! But it felt good. It felt good to be with Syaoran.

"Arigato gozaimasu Syao-kun! But today, specially, I will do the dishes and will even make tea!"

Then I got up and gathered the plates and put them in the sink. I wiped the table down with a clean cloth and returned to the dishes to wash them.

"Need any help, Sakura?" Syaoran popped up by my side.

Just then, an evil thought crept into my mind.

"No Syaoran it's O-" and I splashed him with the cold water!

"Kaa!!! Sakura! My favourite shirt! You're gonna get it Sakura!"

He filled a plastic bowl with water as I ran away from the kitchen. Then he started to chase me all around our tiny flat. Unfortunately I arrived at a dead end - our balcony. I ran outside and closed the door but couldn't find a way to lock it. Of course silly! You're on the OUTSIDE!!!

Instead I crouched behind a big pot plant, even though I knew it wouldn't help. Syaoran stepped outside and came over to me and towered over me - I felt very VERY small.him being as tall as he was!

He reached down with his bowl of icy water. He came lower and lower and lower and lower........................... AND STARTED TO WATER THE POT PLANT!

"SYOA-KUN!!!" I said in an annoyed tone.

Then it happened. I saw his mischievous smile and felt the icy sensation on my face.

"Syaoran!!!!" I cried, as he stood there laughing his head off.

I turned around to wipe my glasses and spotted a hose and a tap. I shoved the hose onto the tap and wrenched the tap open - and aimed the hose at Syaoran.

"AAAH! Turn it off Sakura-chan!" he cried as I HOSED him down.

"Hahahahahahha! MY turned to laugh!" And I stood there, my eyes closed, laughing all I could as I saw Syaoran trying to dodge the water and cover himself and try to get to me at the same time.

Suddenly I felt someone grab me and tackle me down onto the soaking floor. He reached to turn the tap of and the hose stopped snaking about.

I looked up to see Syaoran extremely close to me. Like very close!....I felt my blood rising to my face..and Syaoran inched closer to my face and....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
