Author's Notes: Wow, this chapter took a while, but you should be glad, I wrote this on my crummy laptop, on vacation, I had this last week off of school. Thankies to all who read this and I hope you enjoy this chapter. I tired to focus this one on Sakura because I haven't been writing much about her…sigh
Disclaimer: Hah, like I own CCS…that'll be the day.
Sakura peered closely at Syaoran then glanced at his doctor.
"Um…if he can't walk…how did he…" Sakura thought out loud and the doctor frowned as he looked at Syaoran's medical chart. He then raised an eyebrow.
"Sometimes…" He started and he glanced at Syaoran one more time. "If your mind is completely overwhelmed you can forget about things…" He said and Sakura looked from Syaoran to the doctor and then to Mai.
"Would that work for this?" Mai asked and the doctor shrugged.
"It seems like it, but I really don't know…" He said as he left the room and Sakura glanced at Mai.
"Thanks…Mai." Sakura said and Mai smiled as she pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.
"Sure thing. But I've told you before this is my job." She said and Sakura nodded and she
smiled. "You should head home its getting late." Mai said and Sakura nodded as she walked up to Syaoran and set her hand on his forehead.
"Sweet dreams…" She told him as she smiled at bit and brushed his bangs out of his face.
Sakura stood and walked over to the door and pushed it halfway open. She took one last glance at Syaoran before she left.
Sakura walked down the halls as she sighed to herself and she stopped at a water fountain and leaned against the wall as she yawned.
"Hey, I heard about Li-kun." Ritsuko said as she patted Sakura on the shoulder.
"Hoe? Oh…Amagawa-san…" Sakura said as she forced a smiled. "Yeah…" She said and Ritsuko looked at her curiously.
"Ummm call me Ritsuko…" She said her brown eyes watching Sakura; she recognized that look on her face. She herself had worn it for quite a while.
"Alright…but Ritsuko-chan, why are you here?" Sakura asked and she smiled warmly at Sakura.
"I was just visiting Toshiro-kun…and I felt like saying 'hi'." Ritsuko said as she smiled at Sakura her face a light pink.
"Have you told him how you feel?" Sakura asked as they walked over to a bench and sat down next to each other.
"Hm?" She asked, as she looked at Sakura surprised, Sakura was peering at her intently. "Wh-what do you mean?" She asked blushing and Sakura smiled.
"That you love him." Sakura continued and Ritsuko's whole face turned a bright scarlet.
"Well…" Ritsuko's smirked. "Have you?" She asked and Sakura blushed.
"Syaoran-kun…no…" She said and she picked at her nails and Ritsuko smiled at her.
"Well you shouldn't leave me out of the party." Sachi said as she walked up to them and smiled slightly and leaned against the wall next to them.
"Yuhokawa-san…h-how long have you been there?" Sakura and Ritsuko asked at the same time their faces crimson.
"Long enough." She said smiling at them and they both looked at their feet.
"I heard about Li-san, congrats Kinomoto-san." Sachi said and Sakura nodded as she stood and smiled weakly.
"Yeah…" She said as she looked at her feet and rubbed her eyes. "Oh…no." She said as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "W-why am I crying, I should be happy, it's just…" She wiped her eyes again.
"You wish this had never happened…" Sachi said and Sakura nodded. Sachi smiled sadly at Sakura as she wrapped her arms around the teen.
"Yes…but its just you guys…and I…" She said and Ritsuko walked over to Sakura and set her hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"Its almost worse now isn't it?" Ritsuko asked and Sakura nodded as she stopped crying.
"Yeah…how did you know?" Sakura asked and Ritsuko smiled as she winked at Sakura.
"I wasn't top of my class for nothing." She said and Sakura giggled slightly.
"You should go to class tomorrow…" Sachi said and Ritsuko nodded.
"But-"
"Don't argue with us…we don't want you to make the same mistakes we did. And don't worry about Li-kun, I'll have Toshiro-kun keep him company." Ritsuko said and Sakura looked at them and smiled.
"Thanks you guys, but I-" She said and Ritsuko cut her off again.
"You can see him after class, now don't worry. And hurry and get some rest already." Ritsuko said and Sakura smiled weakly as she nodded.
"Thanks…" Sakura said as she walked out of the hallway leaving Sachi and Ritsuko alone.
"You think she can do it?" Sachi asked and Ritsuko smiled wryly.
"Of course, she's a cheerleader." Ritsuko said and Sachi smiled as she walked with Ritsuko to the lobby.
"Heh. Yeah, though really?" Sachi asked again and Ritsuko sighed.
"Actually I do." Ritsuko said and Sachi stared at her. "If she can make it through tomorrow."
"Yes."

Sakura woke up and blinked a few times as she forced her eyes open. She stared at the familiar checkered pattern of her bedroom ceiling and sighed. She rolled out of bed and sighed again as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
"Hey, Sakura?" Kero asked and Sakura looked down at him curiously. "You okay?" He asked her as he set his paw on Sakura's forehead.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She said as she put on her school uniform. Kero looked at Sakura warily as she did her hair. Sakura noticed his stare and smiled at him.
"Really," She told him. "I'm fine." She said as she left the room and Kero stared at the door, then he sighed.
"Stupid kid…" He muttered as he looked outside at the sunny sky. "I wonder how he's doing though, from what Sakura said he wasn't in very good shape."
**
Sakura walked down the street her eyes downcast as she sighed.
"Sakura-chan?" A familiar friendly voice asked and Sakura looked up surprised.
"Yukito-san?!" She asked surprised as she looked up to find the silver haired boy looking at her worriedly.
"You okay?" He asked her and she nodded forcing a smile.
"Yeah."
"Going to school?" He asked her and she nodded. She sighed as Yukito walked with her and he sighed.
"You know, both me and my other half are worried about you." He told her and she sighed and looked up at the branches of a sakura tree.
"Well I'm just worried about someone…" Sakura said and Yukito smiled slightly at her and he continued.
"Have you found them?" He asked her and she looked at him surprised.
"Who?" She asked and Yukito looked at her seriously.
"The person you love the most." He told her and she blushed and looked her shoes. She knit her fingers together as she smiled slightly.
"Yes…"
"Is it someone I know?" He asked her and she nodded blush still tainting her cheeks.
"Is this person why you're upset?" Yukito asked and Sakura smiled shyly and nodded.
"I hope they return your feelings." He said as he turned and walked toward his house.
"See you later, Sakura-chan…" He said and he waved and Sakura waved back as she continued to school.

"You know this is pretty interesting." Eriol said as he peered into the lake, Tomoyo with him in the Realm of the Gods.
"Its sooo KAWAII!!!" Tomoyo cried as she filmed the lake surface, then she turned to Kimiko and the other goddesses and filmed them as well.
"Clow-san, I like your girlfriend." Kimiko said grinning and Renoi, the silver haired goddess nodded eccentrically.
"Really!" Renoi cried and Eriol flushed slightly as he nodded.
"You should have been here when we were watching the little wolf's mother." One of the other goddesses said and Tomoyo turned to her excited.
"Really?! What was she doing?!" Tomoyo asked and Kimiko smirked.
"Reading the boy's diary." Kimiko said and Tomoyo's headshot up and she grinned so wide it was rather maniacal.
"Tomoyo-san, don't we have to get to class?" Eriol asked her as she pouted.
"Can't we stay here?" Tomoyo pleaded and Eriol sighed.
"You know we should go…" He said and she pouted some more and he sighed.
"Please Eriol-kun…" She pleaded as she gave him the biggest wettest puppy dog eyes since the day Sakura had managed to talk Syaoran into letting her go skydiving off of the Tokyo Tower using the Fly Card. (AN Don't ask, just don't ask…)
"Okay fine…but what do you want me to do?" He asked her and she sighed.
"You're the reincarnation of the famous magician, you think of something." Tomoyo told him as she turned back to the lake.
Eriol sighed as he held two of his fingers in the air and they glowed red as he cast a spell to have him and Tomoyo be excused from school.
"They're all the same…" Koutarou said as he and Tomomaru walked up to Eriol. Eriol looked over his shoulder at them, curiously.
"What is?" He asked and Koutarou smirked.
"Women…"
"Ah…" Tomomaru and Eriol said at the same time as they too, cast their gaze to the lake surface, in which Sakura was making her way into the classroom.
**
Sakura smiled weakly to the rest of her friends. They glanced at her warily and she sat down at her desk.
"Sakura-chan…" Rika and Chiharu walked up to her. "Are you okay?" Rika asked and Sakura nodded as she forced another smile.
"Yes, I'm fine." She told them and she glanced to the desk next to her. "Tomoyo-chan isn't here today…that's weird." Sakura said changing the subject and Chiharu and Rika followed her gaze.
"Yeah…"
**
Sakura sat in front of the school as she picked at her lunch ad sighed. I hope Syaoran-kun's okay She thought and she felt a hand rest on her shoulder and she looked over her shoulder.
"Hey what's up, babe?" A male voice asked and Sakura sighed, exasperated.
"Umenkouji…" Sakura sighed as she stood and turned and faced him. Umenkouji, Kai smirked at he as she turned to leave.
"Hay, where are you going?" He asked her and Sakura walked to the road.
"Away from you." She told him and she stood and leaned against the fence at the entrance of the school.
**
"So this is Seijuu High." Sachi said as she glanced at the school and Ritsuko nodded.
"Wait…isn't that Sakura-chan?" Ritsuko asked as she pointed to Sakura who was leaning against the wall.
"Yah…lets go." Sachi said as they both jogged over to near where Sakura was.
**
"Aww come on…" Kai said as he walked over to her and Sakura looked at her feet. "You spend more time with that cripple than here, what's up with that?" Kai asked and Sakura made a fist with her hand.
"Yes, so?" Sakura asked calmly and Kai walked and stood in front of her.
"Look here, I don't get what you see in that stupid, Li…" Kai said and Sakura glared at him.
"And besides what are you going to do now? Li's in the hospital, and what you're not going to tell me that you still rather be with him, are you?" He asked and Sakura made a sour face.
"You know what?!" Sakura asked him and he looked at her curiously. "I would!" She yelled at him and he grabbed her wrist.
"Now…look here, with Li out of the picture, who's going to save you now?" He asked her and she pulled her hand back.
They were starting to gather a crowd of students and Sachi and Ritsuko joined the group.
"What's she doing, with him?" Ritsuko hissed and Sachi made a sad face.
"Maybe she isn't who we thought she was." Sachi whispered and Ritsuko sighed.
"Let go of me…" Sakura said and his grip tightened.
"And who's going to make me?" He asked and Sakura twisted her arm and he let go.
"Why you-" He started and Sakura looked at her hand. Sakura swallowed as she slapped him across the face and he stumbled back surprised.
"Whoa…" Ritsuko said eyes wide and Sachi nodded.
"…" Sakura stalked away and she ran into the red head and Sachi smiled down at her.
"You're one brave chika." Sachi said and Sakura blinked as she stared up at her.
"Yuhokawa-san, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked and Sachi smiled again.
"We felt like we should check on you." Ritsuko said and Sakura nodded.
"Oh yeah…and Li-kun was asking for you." Sachi added and Sakura smiled as she blushed slightly.
"Okay…umm so…" Sakura trailed off and Sachi nodded to her car that was in the parking lot.
"We're going…" Ritsuko said and Sakura nodded as she left with them.
"Well…" Naoko started and the attention turned to him. "That was…" She trailed off.
"Interesting." All three of the girls said at the same time.

AN We're nearing the end, wow, I never expected this story to be so popular. Thanks again to anyone who read this and an extra kudos to any one who reviewed.
I LOVE YOU! And I have to thank Renko-chan for listening to my rants and helping me finish and I also have to thank, Lysell for an idea she gave me. Thanks. And the idea I originally had for this story was that Sakura would rather be with Syaoran if he was crippled than with someone else, but I think I kind of strayed from that, oh well. But it'll defiantly be in the last chappie ^___^
Please review!
