Sakura's eyes fluttered open and she sat up in her bed. She looked around, and it took her a minute to realize where she was. "What happened?"
"You were poisoned." Sakura was startled, she hadn't even noticed the nurse beside her bed. "P-poisoned?"
"Yes, but don't worry, we got all of it out of you. You gave your friends quite a scare, especially that young man, uh... shoot I can't remember his name," she smiled, "But I'll go get them for you." then the nurse left Sakura alone with her thoughts.
"Syaoran..." her eyes sparkled remembering the night before he left.
*~*flashback*~*
"Okay, attention, everyone!" Tomoyo spoke into the microphone.
"Syaoran here wants to sing a song for a special someone, so come sit down and listen for a while, 'k?" she winked at Sakura and handed Syaoran the mic.
Everyone close to the cardcaptor gang was at Syaoran's apartment having a farewell party for him (Chiharu, Yamazaki, etc.), and he asked Tomoyo to bring over her karaoke machine; she of course said yes.
Tomoyo popped the CD in and the music began. Syaoran was nervous singing in front of all his friends, especially seeing Tomoyo setting up her camera, but when he saw Sakura smiling at him, all the fear went away....
You take my breath away
Love thinks it's here to stay
There's still so much for me to do
And I can't stop loving you
Oh....... can this be true?
Everyone began clapping to the beat as Syaoran sang the next verse.
If you could see what I have seen
Broken hearts and broken dreams.
Then I wake up and your not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh! But you don't care.
He jumped off the make-shift stage and took Sakura's hand.
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break.
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take.
Now everyone got up and was dancing, except Sakura; she was mesmerized by Syaoran's voice, singing only to her.
Then I wake up and your not there
Pain finds me everywhere
Oh! But you don't care.
Don't forget me when I'm gone
My heart would break.
I have loved you for so long
It's all I can take.
They all cheered as the song ended and Syaoran sat down, still holding Sakura's hand when she said, "Don't worry Syaoran, I could never forget you."
*~*end flashback*~*
"....and I never did."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran paced back and forth in the waiting room at the hospital, worried sick about Sakura.
"Syaoran, please stop that. You're making me dizzy." Tomoyo smiled, "Don't worry, she'll be fine."
He stopped pacing and sat next to Tomoyo and held his head. "Easy for you to say, you're not the one in love with her!"
"Hey! I'm her cousin and her best friend! That doesn't mean I'm not worried too!" Tomoyo put her hand on his shoulder. "You just have to trust in Sakura and believe she can pull through."
"Yeah. Thanks Tomoyo." he lifted his head and smiled at her.
A nurse carrying a clipboard came through the waiting room door. "Excuse me, you two are friends of Sakura Kinomoto, right?"
Syaoran leapt up and almost ran over the nurse. "Is she alright?!"
"Calm down, she's just fine. We moved her from the ER to a private room, number 208. You can go see her if you'd like."
"Really!?" his face lit up.
"You go ahead, I'm going to wait for Sakura's father and brother to get her." Tomoyo knew he'd want to be alone with Sakura for a while, "Oh, take these with you." she handed him the flowers that she brought.
Syaoran quickly thanked her before rushing to the elevator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SLAM!!!!!
The whole house shook when Kaori shut the door that hard, and she ran up to her room.
"Kaori? Are you all right dear?" her mother called.
Kaori tried her best not to sound angry. "Y-yes mom! Uh... the wind must have made the door close too hard!"
"Oh, all right."
She flopped down on the bed with her book of spells and potions. She opened it to the poison spell she used on Sakura and read the warning:
**Can only be use on those without magic. Magic users have a built-in resistance to these types of spells.**
-How could I be so careless?- Kaori continued to flip through each page looking for the right spell. -I need something strong...-
She stopped on a spell with a picture of a huge wave surrounded by a serpent. After carefully reading it, she said to herself, "MM.. this might be just the one I need." she grinned and her eyes flickered a deep red.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*knock knock*
Sakura looked up and managed to say, "Come in."
Syaoran entered the dimly lit room and handed her the flowers.
"For me? You shouldn't have, I'm not really that sick."
Syaoran pulled a chair over and sat next to the bed. "What do you mean? You were poisoned, Sakura, " tears formed in his eyes, "You... you could have died."
He quickly blinked away the tears and took her hand. "I couldn't live with myself if you died."
Sakura smiled and lightly squeezed his hand. "It wasn't your fault, Syaoran. There's nothing you could have done to prevent it."
"That's what bugs me; knowing that I can't do anything to help." he lowered his head. "I feel like I've let you down."
Sakura slowly shook her head. "Don't say that! I'm grateful to have friends like you and Tomoyo who waited all this time just to see how I was. You guys are always there for me," she lifted his head. "Just having you here lets me know how much you care." Sakura took a deep breath, "Syaoran... I.... I..."
The door opened and Tea, Fujitaka and Tomoyo walked in. Touya immediately saw Syaoran holding Sakura's hand and freaked out. "Aaaah!! The gaki's back! LET GO OF MY SISTER'S HAND!!"
As Fujitaka tried to restrain him from killing the poor kid, Syaoran decided to make him more angry by kissing Sakura's hand. "I hope you feel better soon."
A very silent "Hoee..." could be heard from Sakura, who was turning a nice shade of red.
"Argh!! Baka kuso! I'm gonna kill you!"
Tomoyo sighed, "Look what you've done now..."
After the nurse gave Touya a small shot to relax him, the rest could finally talk to Sakura. Her father was the first to speak, "So how are you feeling?"
"I'm a little tired because of the sleeping gas,"(can't remember what that was for...) she smiled. "But at least I don't have to stay here all night."
Tomoyo still looked worried, "Yeah, but maybe you shouldn't come with us on the field trip tomorrow."
"Are you kidding!? I've been waiting two weeks to go to the aquarium! I'm going, and no one can stop me! I feel perfectly fine!" Sakura crossed her arms and pouted.
They all laughed. "You're so kawaii when you pout," Syaoran blushed when he realized what he said, "Did I say that out loud?"
If it weren't for the tranquilizer, Touya would have tried to kill Syaoran again, but instead he just laughed with everyone else. "We better get you home, then. I'll bring Touya downstairs and we'll wait for you." Fujitaka kissed his daughter's forehead and left carrying the sedated Touya with him.
"Well, I guess we'll see you tomorrow!" Tomoyo forced a smile; she was still worried about Sakura. She waved and left the room.
Syaoran stood up to leave,"Make sure you get lots of rest, okay?"
Sakura nodded, but as Syaoran was about to leave, he found Sakura hadn't let go of his hand yet.
"Um... Syaoran?"
"Hm? What is it?"
-Here goes nothing!- "Um... I.... I..."
"Knock knock," the nurse walked in, "You have another visitor."
Kaori shyly entered the room. -Rats, she looks fine!-
"What do you want?!" Syaoran glared at Kaori. Sakura winced. She didn't like Syaoran angry.
"Oh, I heard what happened... you seem fine now." Kaori looked disappointed, but then forced a smile and grabbed Syaoran's arm. "Great! Syaoran, are you leaving? I'll come with you!"
"Um, go ahead Syaoran..."
"But what were you going to say?"
"Oh, um, I just...wanted to thank you again.... for waiting for me."
He smiled, "Anytime. See you tomorrow."
"Bye." Sakura let go of his hand and her eyes followed him down the hall as he yelled, trying to get Kaori off of him. While she slipped out of the bed and got her things together, she looked at the door. -Why is it so hard to tell him?-
Inside Sakura's bag a card's glow slowly faded....
