Everyone was at the hospital. It seems like the night when everyone had thought that the Mirror Card was Sakura. No one knew exactly what's wrong with Sakura, everyone was crying, except for Naru, who seemed to be mad. Eriol popped up, holding the Sakura Book with him. Tomoyo was crying in her mother's arms, who was also tearing. Touya and his father were filling out forms for Sakura, while Yukito was praying that Sakura is alright. Syaoran looked at the direction that the nurses and doctors took her to. Mei Ling had stayed silent, hoping that Sakura will get well. Kero was still in Syaoran's pocket, holding a p napkin to wipe his tears away. Naru just wanted to explode, she was never ignored before, and she was used to be the center of attention.
Naru decided to get some attention by putting a spell on her to make it look like she has a broken wrist. Naru looked around to see what she could use for a cover-up to hide that she had used magic. When Naru spotted a water fountain and a pop machine, she used a tiny spell to make some water spill on the floor. Naru then walked over to the fountain, pretending to get a drink, and purposely slipped on the puddle of water and made sure that she landed on her wrist.
"Ow! It hurts!" Naru cried out loud. Syaoran took his glaze off from the direction and ran to where Naru was. Mei Ling looked at Naru with a disgusted face. But
"Naru, are you alright?" Syaoran asked.
"Ow! I think I hurt my wrist," Naru replied.
"Let me see," A nurse from the front said.
"Alright," Naru replied.
The nurse looked at Naru's wrist and the puddle that was on the floor, then she called for a doctor to treat Naru.
"It's broken, but it seems like that you'll have to wait, since nearly all the doctors is with a young girl around your age," the nurse replied.
"Come on Naru, go and sit down," Syaoran said as he led Naru to a seat.
"Alright, thanks Syaoran," Naru said.
"Do you want anything?" Syaoran asked.
"I was getting a drink, so a drink I guess," Naru replied. Syaoran was about to get the drink when Mei Ling said that she'll get it.
"Syaoran, sit down. I'll get it. You already have two people to worry about," Mei Ling offered.
"Thanks, Mei Ling," Syaoran replied as he looked at the direction that Sakura had went.
Naru was ticked off that Syaoran returned to look in a hallway. When Mei Ling returned with a drink for Naru, she got even more ticked off. Mei Ling had brought the wrong drink that she had wanted. Since Naru didn't want the drink, Mei Ling took the drink for herself.
Hours passed and everyone was worried about Sakura more than Naru. Soon it was past midnight and everyone was worried about Sakura. Tomoyo's mother had to lock up her place, so she went to lock it up. Naru had fallen asleep a long time ago. A doctor was able to treat her, and she was a bit happy that Syaoran paid back some attention to her once again. Around two in the morning, a whole crew of doctors came out and Touya went up to them, demanding to know how Sakura was. The doctors told Touya and his father that they had to speak to them. When the two of them came back, the two had a pale look on their face.
"Touya, what did they say?" Yuikto asked.
"S...Sakura m...m..might not m...make i..it," Touya whispered.
"No, that can't be! What will I do without my best friend?!" Tomoyo cried.
"Who can I talk to? Who else will understand me?" Mei Ling cried out.
Mei Ling and Tomoyo's loud crying woke up Naru. Naru wondered why everyone was standing in a circle.
"Can we go and see her?" Tomoyo asked.
Touya nodded, letting Tomoyo and her mother go first. Touya's father gave Tomoyo Sakura's room number and Tomoyo dashed off to see Sakura. When Tomoyo and her mother got there, Tomoyo was shocked to see Sakura hooked up to machines and IV lines. Tomoyo was glad that Sakura was awake. At first Tomoyo didn't know what to say, but Tomoyo's mother asked.
"Sakura, how are you?" Ms. Daidouji asked.
"Alright," Sakura replied.
"That's good to hear. I hope you get well soon," Ms. Daidouji said.
Sakura mumbled a "thanks". Just when Ms. Daidouji was about to say something, her phone went off, she picked it up with annoyance. When she finished talking, she told Sakura and Tomoyo that there's a thief going around her business and she has to be there.
"I'm sorry. I'll try to visit you as much as I can," Ms. Daidouji apologized.
"It's alright," Sakura replied.
When Tomoyo's mother left, Tomoyo pulled up a chair and talk to Sakura about things that they did and how it brought them together. Tomoyo couldn't stand it. There was her best friend, talking about happy things, when she might be dying.
Doesn't she know? Didn't the doctors tell her?! Tomoyo screamed in her mind. Finally when Tomoyo finally had enough, Tomoyo quietly told Sakura what's going on. Sakura had knew that she might die before she went to the hospital, so it wasn't so much of a shock for her.
"Sakura, are you alright?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised, if you're wondering," Sakura replied.
"You knew?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, a long time ago," Sakura said as she got up from the bed.
"And you didn't tell anyone?" Tomoyo cried.
"I wanted to think things out and made sure that it was right. I'm sorry, Tomoyo," Sakura laid back down.
"No, it's okay. I should be the one who's sorry," Tomoyo apologized.
"You don't have to be. Listen, Tomoyo, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but maybe you should go home? You look very tired. You can come back tomorrow," Sakura said, hoping that that didn't hurt Tomoyo's feelings.
Tomoyo look at her friend with understanding. She nodded her head and told Sakura that she'll come back in the morning. After Tomoyo went out, Touya and his father went in. With Sakura not might making it, this reminded Touya and his father of his mother/wife. After talking a few things over, laughing and crying at stories, and hoping that Sakura would get well. After Yukito and Eriol went in to see Sakura, Mei Ling went in.
"Hey," Mei Ling greeted nervously.
"Hey," Sakura smiled.
"Tomoyo said that you knew a long time ago, so why didn't you tell us?" Mei Ling asked, knowing that it wasn't the right time, but she just had to ask.
"I wanted to make sure that it was right. I knew it was right today...rather yesterday. I was going to tell you, but then Li-san came over," Sakura sighed as she explained.
"I see. I'll miss you very much," Mei Ling cried as she went to hug her friend. Sakura hugged Mei Ling back.
"Me too," Sakura replied.
There was a moment of silence. After a few minutes, Mei Ling started to tell Sakura all sorts of stories, but was careful not to mention Syaoran in them if it might hurt Sakura.
"You know that I dislike Naru, right?" Mei Ling asked Sakura. Sakura nodded her head in response, "Well, a while ago, she tried to get some attention by breaking her arm! Boy, she was sure mad when she found out that nearly all the doctors were treating you!" Mei Ling laughed.
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah,"
After Mei Ling left to get some stuff so that she could stay with Sakura for the night, Syaoran and Naru went in. Syaoran didn't know what to say, well he do, but with Naru there he couldn't. When Naru fell asleep, Syaoran made sure that Naru was really asleep; Syaoran then told Sakura what he had wanted to say. While Syaoran was talking, Sakura looked at Naru and then Syaoran. She knew that Naru was happy to be with him and it cost her happiness, but she'll let it be. She didn't want anyone's happiness to cut out, because of her. Sakura was lost in her thoughts when Syaoran said three words that interrupted her thoughts.
"Uh...do you mind repeating that?" Sakura asked.
"I said, I love you," Syaoran said quickly.
"You do? But you have Naru," Sakura said.
Syaoran was about to reply when Naru stirred a little in her sleep. Syaoran gave Sakura a look that said 'I'm sorry,' Syaoran then carried Naru in his arms and was about to open the door when Mei Ling and Tomoyo came in with sleeping bags. Mei Ling looked degusted when Syaoran was carrying Naru in his arms in front of Sakura. Tomoyo just forced a smile and opened the door wider for Syaoran. Syaoran mumbled what seem to be a 'thanks'. When Syaoran left with Naru, Mei Ling and Tomoyo started to unpack near Sakura's bed.
"You guys are really going to sleep on the floor?" Sakura asked amazed. She knew that Mei Ling had slept on the floor before, but she never saw Tomoyo.
"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Mei Ling said happily.
"Tomoyo, are you really going to sleep on the floor?" Sakura asked.
"Well, not really. I brought an air mattress here, so I'll be fine," Tomoyo assured.
"What? You brought an air mattress for you and not for me?" Mei Ling asked, sounding hurt.
"Don't worry, I brought one for you," Tomoyo said as she pulled one out for Mei Ling.
Mei Ling smiled and said "thanks" to Tomoyo and started to roll up her sleeping bag to a wall.
After Mei Ling and Tomoyo fell asleep, Sakura stayed awake, thinking about what Syaoran had told her. She knew that she wanted to be with Syaoran really badly, but Naru is with him and they're getting married soon. Sakura then had to wonder where Kero was, she haven't seen him for nearly half the day. Sakura then started to get sleepily, with a thought of being with Syaoran, she fell asleep.
