Chapter fourteen-Taking care
Wednesday Morning-day 3, five days to go
~Sakura's POV~
After explaining to Syaoran about staying over night and looking after him, and how his mother would come to pick him up this morning, she stood by the windowsill gazing out. Today looked quite peaceful and the sun was out lighting the sky.
'Sakura?' Syaoran's voice interrupted her thoughtful gazing.
She averted her gaze from outside and focused on Syaoran. 'Yes Syaoran?'
'Um.. thanks again.. for last night..' He sat up from his bed slightly, and supported the rest of his weight by leaning against the wall.
'Oh it's fine.' She smiled brightly. Just as much as she could try, she couldn't bring herself to not smile at him, especially while he was ill.
Syaoran slowly got out of bed, his bare feet touching the cold tiled floor. He walked over to where she stood and followed her gaze out of the window. The warm sun leaking through the window made Sakura's auburn hair shine a golden color.
'Syaoran go back to bed please?' she asked curtly avoiding his eyes.
'I'm okay-how much longer until the nurse says I can go home today?' he asked striking up conversation.
'Soon, and I don't mind watching you here for the day you know? At least I miss out on a few subjects today,' a smile formed at the corner of her mouth, yet still she did not look at him.
'Heh heh-yeah I guess.' He ran a hand through his messy hair trying to straighten it slightly and gave a stretch still feeling half asleep.
Sakura felt unusually comfortable standing with him. She wondered whether she should at least tell him about how his mother had wanted her to make him nice.
Not now.. it doesn't feel right. Anyway it's not as if it's a bad thing really.is it? Well at least it wasn't a bet or anything like that.
She felt Syaoran slide a bit closer to her, his hand brushed against hers. Her stomach gave a funny leap, as if it had all been turned upside down. This reminded her of the time she had held his hand.it was comforting. She closed her eyes and felt her hand find his, his fingers slowly closed around hers. She stood there like that, taking in this blissful feeling. She had never felt happier in her life. When she opened her eyes, only an amber color came to view. He now stood in front of her.
'This is wrong Syaoran..' She murmured feeling his grip on her hand tighten.
'How is it wrong?' he murmured back smiling.
He leant closer and pressed his lips against hers softly. Sakura had totally forgotten about everything right then, she just let him kiss her. She felt his hand draw her nearer to him, she did not resist. When he drew away, she felt her eyes sting painfully. She closed them and fought back her sorrow.
'That was wrong.' she released her hand from his and just stared at him.
'Was it-I didn't think it was,' he replied gazing back at her.
'Syaoran-look me in the eyes and tell me that was another misunderstanding,' she shook.
'Sure thing,' a smile played at the edge of his mouth. He looked confident about something.
His eyes met hers and they stared hardly at one another. It was something about his eyes that made her mellow.
'The only problem though Sakura is that that wasn't a misunderstanding at all.' His voice rasped.
She continued to stare into them, it felt like her whole friendship with him flashed before her eyes, but reflecting in his.
'If it were a misunderstanding you would've stopped me,' he continued. 'Believe me Sakura I will prove that our friendship is special.. possibly even more.' he trailed off.
Sakura turned away from him, her heart throbbing against her chest. Before she could reply a knock sounded at the door.
Syaoran gave one more look at her and then hurriedly made his way back into bed.
'Who is it?' Sakura asked, dabbing at the corner of her eyes with her sleeve quickly, eradicating any tears that were there.
'Yelan Li, Shaoran's mother.' Came her calm voice from outside the door.
Sakura quickly ran over to the door and opened it allowing her to enter. Yelan wore a white blouse with a pair of black pants. Her hair remained in its ponytail as it usually was, held up with a yellow ribbon.
'How is he?' she asked glancing around the room.
'He's okay.' Sakura showed Yelan over to the bed where Syaoran rested in.
'H-hello mother,' he said, his voice still sounding rather hoarse.
'Are you okay Syaoran?' she took a seat next to his bed staring at her son.
'Um I'm okay.but I am a bit ill.' he coughed.
If he were so ill then why did he drag himself out of bed over to me? Sakura deliberated to herself.
'Syaoran I spoke with the school nurse she said to come home today and rest.' Yelan turned around to face Sakura. 'Sakura can I ask a favor of you?'
Sakura stared blankly at her for a second. 'Oh.yeah sure ask away,' she smiled. But Sakura was still half locked in thought about the things that Syaoran had said to her, how he had kissed her.
'For the two days that Syaoran stays at home, could you pop by after school for a bit and also give him his homework?' Yelan's eyes twinkled slightly.
'Oh.sure Miss Li,' Sakura bowed, 'I hope Syaoran gets better soon. Now I must head out for lunch and then attend my last classes for the day,' Sakura stared thoughtfully at Syaoran.
'Oh yes of course Sakura, sorry to keep you waiting. I can take Syaoran from here, any homework given out please inform him so. Or just come round to visit, I'm sure it'll brighten his spirits ever so..' Yelan trailed off admiring her apparently ill son.
Sakura knew he was ill and all, but how ill? He had managed to get out of bed.Sakura shrugged this aside and with one last bow left the room in a hurry and went out to lunch.

~Syaoran's POV~
Syaoran lay in his bed with his diary. He pondered on what to write. 'Hiraita,' he murmured quietly, watching his diary open with a click. With his pen he wrote down at the top left hand side "Wednesday-Five more days to prove myself to her"
Dear diary,
I am at home feeling slightly ill. Ill because I punished myself out in the rain.I deserve to be as sick as a dog quite frankly, but Sakura prevented me from becoming so. She cares for me I see it. I wonder if she loves me too? She didn't turn away from my kiss before.. I just hope I become better soon otherwise I will not be able to drop the bet anytime soon. Yes I will drop it, I must.and meanwhile I must try and keep as much contact with her as possible. I wonder if mom did that on purpose? Making sure that Sakura would return here everyday after school? Well at least I'll get to see her; it'll brighten my spirits ever so. If I never get to prove myself to her I don't know what I'll do.. I love her too much to throw her away or let her slip from me. It's just.it makes me wonder, looking back on our times spent together-she seemed very happy-I seemed every happy. And she has returned a kiss to me before.. I just wonder.. but I shall stop wondering for now.I need rest.
Ja ne,
Syaoran Li (Little wolf)
Syaoran closed his diary and placed it on his bedside table. He then sidled down under the covers and closed his eyes. He had been through a lot in his life, just how much more could he take? He just felt like sleeping off his depression, that's what he would usually do at times like this. Sleep them off. He sighed and slowly felt himself leave this world-leave it for another world. Slumber took over him..

~Sakura's POV~
Sakura walked out of the school accompanied with Meiling. Meiling was going to take Sakura home with her so that she could drop off Syaoran's homework for the day. Sakura saw the all-familiar black limousine that was waiting for her and Meiling.
'I still don't see why Aunt Yelan would want Syaoran to do homework why he is ill!' Meiling muttered, 'I mean the boy is sick!'
'I half agree with you Meiling-chan, but it is Miss Li's requests and I intend to follow them,' Sakura replied removing her schoolbag from her shoulder. Meiling opened the door and hopped in, tossing her bag on the ground at her feet. Sakura smiled and then hopped in also but placed her bag neatly in her lap.
'Hello ladies how are you two this evening?' Wei asked courteously.
'We're fine!' they both replied at the same time. Sakura then leant her elbow on the side of the door and stared out of the window blankly, watching the scenery go by like a blur.
'Sakura.. how are you and Syaoran? Did you make up this morning?' Meiling suddenly asked sounding a little random at the time.
'Wha--? Oh.. no, nothing has changed since last nights discussion with you I'm afraid. I really do not know what to do! I feel half ashamed at my childish actions towards him,' she muttered quietly gripping the leather chair firmly.
Meiling felt sorry for the poor girl. She looked dreadfully miserable, and was no good at covering it either. 'Sakura you know what? I think you should trust your heart-trust his too.and seeming as Syaoran and I have known each other since childhood I can safely say that Syaoran would not intentionally hurt someone he loved..'
'Are you sure of that though?' Sakura faced Meiling but was not too keen on looking in her eyes.
'Yes.Syaoran and I used to be engaged.. but he broke it off with me sadly. But he didn't hurt me, he did it in a nice way.. said that he'd always be here for me. That was supposed to be a secret,' Meiling flustered, 'but if it proves to you that Syaoran is meaning-full and does not intend on hurting loved ones then so be it.'
'He said that to you? Even though he was cold back then?' Sakura sounded amazed.
Meiling nodded her head slowly. 'Yes-but he never wanted to speak of it again. After all I am his closest cousin so I guess we understand one another in a way,' she shrugged. 'So Sakura think carefully about your actions towards him. He may have hurt you, but it does not mean that he didn't want to be your friend..' After Meiling had finished that sentence the limousine came to a stop in front of the Li residence.
'Well good luck Sakura,' Meiling said quickly and then hopped out of the car. Sakura slowly followed and thought hard about what Meiling had just said to her.
*
After Meiling disappeared into the kitchen Sakura was left to venture upstairs into Syaoran's room. Sakura quietly did this, because if Syaoran was asleep then she did not want to wake him. After a minute of climbing silently she found herself outside of his bedroom door. It was half open, just by a crack. She pushed it open quietly and saw Syaoran lying in bed.
'Hello Sakura,' he turned and smiled brightly at her.
'H-hello Shaoran,' she blushed, 'I-I err have your homework here with me..' She walked around the side of his bed and placed her school bag gently on his bedside table. As she did so she heard something fall to the floor with a thud. She glanced down and saw some kind of odd-looking notebook. She bent over and picked it up, she just had enough time to read the gold engraved lettering on the front it said "Xiao Lang's diary".
Syaoran saw her stare at it. He quickly reached forwards and snatched it out of her hands.
'That is for no one to read,' he replied in a half cold tone.
'S-sorry I didn't mean to I-' she stuttered.
'Never mind.anyway what homework have you brought for me?' he sounded cheery again. Sakura had to admit the way Syaoran had snatched the diary from her and spoke so coldly frightened her slightly. She began to wonder what could be contained inside it.
'Um you have.. math's homework and Chemistry homework,' she rummaged through her bag and pulled out several sheets of paper and handed it to him. Syaoran's eyes speedily moved back and forth as he briefly checked what he was required to do for homework.
'Don't worry Syaoran, your teacher only gave you homework that you could do without having a school lesson,' Sakura quickly added.
'I see,' he placed his homework down on the bedside table and then stared at her. 'Well sit down if you wish Sakura,' he signaled for her to sit down on his bed.
She took a deep breath and then cautiously took a seat next to him. 'So-are you feeling any better?' she asked quickly avoiding the way he looked at her.
'I'm okay I guess.just one question. Why did you save me?' he raised an eyebrow. She thought he sounded quite mad at the fact that she had saved him.
'Why? Because.. because.. I care for you,' she blushed.
'Well that's weird-I thought I was "the most selfish person you had ever met"?' his voice sounded half mocking.
'I-I-look Syaoran I may have said hurtful things but I did not necessarily mean them all.I'm just hurt.' She took a quick glance out of his window. It looked quite peaceful outside. What she would give to be out there right now instead of discussing her feelings with him.
'Ah well.. I cannot stress enough how sorry I am about everything.' He sat up now edging closer to the girl.
'I know you may be sorry, but I feel sorry isn't enough. Deep down inside Syaoran-yes I am still longing to be your friend, yes I am falling for you,' she blushed quickly, wishing she had never said that last line.
Syaoran smiled. 'I knew you felt that way!'
'Yes but I-I cannot feel that way if you deceive me!' Sakura struggled for words. Why had she let out that she liked him so?
'Ah I see.so it's not all friendship that you seek.. well to be honest nor I.' He paused quickly and gazed into her emerald orbs. 'Tell me on the night that I kissed you did you feel something between us?'
'I-I,' she mumbled, she knew that she couldn't lie to this boy anymore, '.yes I did.'
Syaoran looked happier then he had ever looked before right then. His face seemed to light up so brightly. 'What about this morning? What did you feel?'
'Syaoran! Stop asking me these questions! I shouldn't have to answer them all! I have said enough as it is!' she said slightly out of breath.
'Oh right-I'm sorry I just.' he stopped and took hold of her hand. Sakura looked aghast at the time but slowly calmed down as he brought her hand to his lips. He gave a polite peck on her hand and murmured so only she could here. 'You are my Cherry Blossom, and if I have to wait forever and a day to win your heart I will. Why you ask? Because you're worth it.'
Sakura's heart mellowed. These words touched her heart deeply. But still there was something she wanted from him in order for her to forgive him.
'Syaoran I must go now..' She let go of his hand and stood up and grabbed her bag. 'If you wish for me to think highly of you, do what you think is right to prove to me that you are trust worthy.'
'Okay.. thank you for coming over and dropping off my homework,' he said angelically, 'soon Sakura you will see.' He smiled at her.
Sakura turned round and then quickly left his room and closed the door behind her. She leant against it and took in deep breaths.
I was so close to giving into him.. I told him how I felt about him too. Well at least we know that we both feel the same way. But does he really mean it? How can I trust him?
Sakura then hastily made her way downstairs and bid farewell to Meiling and then left the house in a hurry to get to her own..
