Li waited patiently, staring at the clock. It had been nearly an hour since Sakura left. She said she'd be back in a few. Did she mean few minutes, or few hours?
The phone started ringing, but it took the third ring to allow him to realize it. He quickly picked it up. "Hello?"
"Syaoran, Li?" said the voice from the other end.
"Hai." 'Wonder what's going on....' he thought.
"this is Sherrif Kiu from the Police Staton. Kinimoto Sakura has been involved in an accident. She is currently being taken to Tokyo Memorial hospital." he said.
"IS she alright?" he asked, hard nearly pounding in his throat as he tried to remain calm.
"As far as we know. She was coherent when we got there. She was the one who gave me your name and number."
"Arigato!" he said, and without saying anything esle, he hung up the phone.
"Crap! I knew it!" he exclaimed as he jumped up from his seat and rushed out the door and started off to the hospital.

Sakura was resting soundly, but her eyes flew open when she heard someone call her.
"SAKURA!" she heard.
"Li?" she asked.
He quickly ran up to her, hugging her tightly. "Are you alright?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm fine.. Just a fractured leg and a few bruises and cuts."
"Then why is the bandage around your head?"
"I had gotten cut very badly, they removed the glass and placed the bandage around my head."
"Oh. What happened? I mean, to give you the ingeries?"
Sakura cringed. It was, in reality, one of her worst nightmares. She sighed inwardly, knowing that if she didn't tell, she'd never hear the end of it.
"Sakura?" he asked, placing a hand on her leg, causing he to wince, and he withdrew it. "Gomen."
"I was waiting for the light to change when I saw a Camri swirving my way. I tried to slide off to the side of the road, but....."
"You didn't have enough time?" She nodded.
"And he hit me, head on. The police say it was because of the liquor he had drank."
"So he was drunk....."
She nodded again. "He had passed out, not long before it hit me."
"Oh." he said. Then, he noticed her facial expressions. She was in pain from her leg.
"Get some rest, cherry blossom, we can talk about it tomarrow." he said, kissing her forehead lightly. The sedative the nurse had given her shortly before Li's arrival was finally kicking in, as her eyelids grew heaver, and she started to drift off.
'I won't let anything like that happen to you, if I can help it......' he vowed, but his mind withdrew, for how can you stop destiny? Was the dream a reality? Or just a dream?
