Chapter seventeen-Time heals old wounds

Friday afternoon-Three more days to go

~In the hospital~

~Sakura's POV~

Sakura paced around the waiting room in an impatient matter. She was so nervous about how Syaoran was. She hoped he was okay.

'Sakura!' Meiling's voice gasped as she ran into the room looking very exhausted. 'Where's-Syaoran?' she leant an arm on Sakura and took a few breaths and then looked at Sakura's tear stained face.

'He's.hurt.' Sakura sobbed helplessly throwing her arms around Meiling. Meiling patted her on the back gently. 'He's-in there!' she pointed a finger to the door that led to many rooms with ill patients.

'What-happened?' Meiling whispered into her ear.

Sakura gave a silent sob and held onto Meiling's shoulder tighter. 'S- Syaoran was trying to-to.commit suicide,' she paused to hear Meiling gasp, 'he brought a knife to school and tried but I-I prevented him. After school though he was not so lucky.oh! It was my fault! I forced him too suddenly to give me the knife.' Sakura stopped speaking and dissolved into more tears.

Meiling rubbed her back and cried silently with her. 'It wasn't your fault.I knew Syaoran was unhappy.but I never knew he would.attempt to kill himself.'

'Syaoran got hit by a car.he didn't see it coming,' Sakura continued again as if she had never stopped talking about it in her last sentence.

'I-I see.' Meiling muttered feeling useless. Where had she been? She should've been watching over him like Sakura had tried too.

'Syaoran will be all right..' Sakura swiveled her head around and saw Yelan leaning against the doorframe looking like she hadn't a care in the world.

Sakura couldn't believe how calm she was. Maybe Syaoran was right maybe she didn't care? Well for the first time Sakura lost her temper at Yelan.

'Miss Li do you not care about your son! He was hit by a car for Christ's sake! He could be dead! And all you do is stand there calmly! How can you be so-so calm! Maybe Shaoran was right, maybe you do not love him!' Sakura screamed, her veins throbbing angrily. She clenched her fists tightly staring at Yelan. Was there a smile on her face?

Yelan gave a delirious chuckle. 'Of course I love him, he is my son after all.I just wish he would see I love him.'

'Oh? And how do you plan to do that? Stand over his rigid body and laugh at him?!' Sakura snapped back angrily. She had never felt so angry with a person before, just now Yelan really ticked her off.

Yelan's eyes widened and stared intently at Sakura, she took a step forward making Sakura feel slightly paranoid. 'Now why would I laugh at my son when he is in pain? Do you too believe I'm not a good mother?'

'I-I-' Sakura faltered for words. Sakura bowed her head. 'I think.' she raised her head again feeling slightly more confident, 'I think you care for him.you love him. Just you cannot show it very well.' she trailed off. 'If you do not show it, how will Syaoran see?'

Yelan's eyes twinkled for a slight second. She stared precariously at the door that lead to the many ill patients and sighed. 'I am merely confident in believing my son will be all right, that is all. and he will soon see that I care for him. Just like he'll know about someone else.'

Sakura blinked. Someone else? Did Yelan mean her? 'Sakura thank you for helping Syaoran as much as possible.' Yelan said while beginning to hug the hysterical Meiling.

'Oh it's all right, I just hope he's all right.'

'Sakura!' the door swung open dangerously letting in a panicky Touya and followed by a quiet Fujitaka. 'What's going on?!'

Sakura got off of the couch and hugged her brother. 'Oniisan it's terrible!' she cried still.

'Huh? Sakura what's wrong?' he calmed down slightly.

'Her friend has been in an accident,' Yelan interrupted Touya from questioning further.

'Ah.who is it?' Fujitaka asked curiously, pushing his glasses back up to the ridge of his nose.

'Syaoran my son..' Yelan muttered with sadness.

'Oh your son! Oh dear.' Fujitaka took a seat next to Yelan and sighed.

'Imoto you're crying over that boy!' he said sounding rather repulsed at the thought.

Sakura advanced on him dangerously. 'And? Do you have a problem with that? He is my friend..'

'Um no nothing.' Touya then went and took a seat next to his father.

Ten minutes of sitting quietly in the waiting room, the door opened and a man in white uniform came out. He cleared his throat indicating that he held some important news.

'You are all here for the news of the boy named Li, Syaoran?' he saw them all nod gravely. 'Right well.he seems okay, just one problem.he's in a coma.'

Sakura sat up abruptly and clenched her fists tightly. 'W-what?'

'Look it is believed that if you want someone to wake up from a coma, then you should talk with them. Keeping those that were close to him may make him wake up. Now it may take a few days for him to wake up, maybe even weeks you never know.' the doctor said.

'And what if he never wakes up!?' Sakura panicked.

'Oh they always wake up sometime, and since this boy's injuries were not that severe,' Sakura blushed, she was responsible for healing him somehow, 'he should come around soon. So whose going to stay with him and attempt to wake him?'

'Meiling-chan you can stay tonight I'll stay tomorrow.' Sakura said instantly. She wanted Syaoran's cousin to have a go first for a change.

Meiling blinked. 'Y-you're sure?'

Sakura nodded and put a smile on her face. 'Yeah go ahead, you care for him just as much as I do. Good luck Meiling-chan. Oniisan, otosan let's go then,' she sighed heading for the door.

Fujitaka gave a courteous bow to Yelan and Meiling and then followed his daughter out of the building. Touya gave one last look and then ran after them as well.

'Syaoran I hope you're all right.' Sakura murmured to herself as she turned off her lamp and pulled under the covers. 'I'll come for you tomorrow.' she sighed and closed her eyes.

Saturday morning- Two more days to go

As soon as Sakura had woken up, she had quickly bolted down her breakfast and woken up her father to hurry up and take her to the hospital.

'Okay, okay Sakura-san let's go then.' Fujitaka said as he struggled to finish doing up his tie. 'Sakura put your jacket on too.' He handed Sakura her navy blue jacket and made sure she put it on. 'Okay then in the car!'

It only took them five minutes to drive to the hospital as it was considerably early in the morning and there wasn't too much traffic on the road.

'Sakura!' Meiling shouted as she entered the waiting room. 'He's-he's not awake!' Meiling fought back her tears.

'Hoe? Really?' Sakura sighed, she had hoped that Syaoran would wake during the night but hadn't appeared to. 'Well I guess it's my turn then-'

'-Look what was found!' a nurse exclaimed showing a few paramedics. 'We thoroughly examined the area of that accident yesterday and we've found this knife.'

'A knife? How'd that get there?'

'Well it must've belonged to the boy as it was only a few steps away from where his injured body had lain.what does this tell us?' the nurse asked.

'Hey that looks like-blood! There's a bloodstain on the knife. Does this mean anything?' the paramedic questioned, examining the knife more closely.

Sakura's eyes opened widely as she heard them all discussing this. Sakura tugged on Meiling's arm indicating that something interesting was happening. Meiling turned to see what Sakura was listening at, but it was too late the paramedics and the nurse had left the room and into another.

'What Sakura?' Meiling asked jadedly.

'They've found the knife.now they're probably going to question Syaoran when he awakens..' Sakura groaned, 'well I'm in now, and thank you Meiling- chan for trying to help Syaoran, I hope I can do it otherwise.'

'You'll do fine Sakura-chan, you'll do much better then me,' Meiling patted her on the shoulder.

'Thank you,' Sakura said beaming with tears in her eyes. She gave a nod and then went up to the counter where a nurse stood behind.

The nurse was busying typing on the computer, and Sakura had to get her attention.

'Excuse me miss?' Sakura said tapping her fingers on the counter.

'Yes dear?' the nurse stopped typing away and stared at Sakura warmly.

'Um I was wondering if you could let me know where Li, Syaoran is staying? As I've been told to stay with him all this day.'

'Oh Li, Syaoran? Hang on a sec then dear,' the nurse beamed and then began typing away at the computer once more. A few seconds later the computer made a little beeping noise. 'Ah yes.Li, Syaoran is staying in Ward thirteen on this level. To get there just go down that corridor-' she pointed to her left, '-and keep to your right, his ward should be down there.'

Sakura bowed politely. 'Thank you very much.'

Sakura then began to casually make her way down the corridor. As she made her way down the long corridor she passed open doors that led into other people's wards. She saw very ill looking people lying in bed. Sakura shuddered slightly and hurriedly kept going, avoiding looking into other people's wards.

Sakura stopped and gazed up at the silver numbers attached to the doorframe. "13"

'This is it.' Sakura took in a deep breath and then pushed on the door. It opened and what she didn't want to see was there. Syaoran was in his bed asleep, if anything you could say he looked dead practically. Syaoran's room wasn't too brightly decorated, the walls were painted a sky blue and Syaoran's window was wide-open letting the curtains flutter about freely.

Sakura precariously made her way closer to his bed. There she saw more close up that his breathing pattern looked half struggled. But his wounds seemed much better then before.

'Syaoran? Can you hear me?' she pulled up a seat next to his bed. She had to act strong around him, otherwise how was he to wake? He needed to be around happy people. She took a deep breath, exhaled and forced a smile upon her face. 'How are you Syaoran? I hope you're doing fine.. um-' to be honest Sakura really didn't see how speaking to someone that was asleep helped at all, if anything she felt kind of silly.

Sakura glanced around the room. How monotonous this room looked to her. The sky blue paint on the walls were starting to peel off and there wasn't much furniture in here either-just his bed, bedside table, a bathroom, a heater and the window. Sakura had to stay here all day and night but that didn't matter to her at all, she wanted to be by his side until the end. She loved him a lot and felt extremely guilty about his accident. Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand in hers and held it. His hand felt ice cold to the touch. Sakura stoked his hand affectionately, trying to warm it up.

'Syaoran.' she murmured to him. She knew she had to try and have a conversation with him, as it might help him waken. A smile played at the end of her mouth. 'Syaoran do you remember the time you kissed me? Well I am not sure if you are aware of this but I was still awake when you gave me the last kiss goodnight,' she giggled, 'yes I was awake.but back then were you still in denial? You must have been.well one thing is for sure I will always remember your words to me so clearly-you called me your Cherry Blossom.' Sakura grinned still stroking his hand. Sakura paused and stared thoughtfully at him. She thought she saw Syaoran scrunch his eyes up tightly, but when she blinked he looked exactly the same.

Sakura closed her eyes. This was going to be very hard to do indeed; she just hoped that she would be able to awaken him otherwise..

'No! Don't think like that Sakura!' she argued with herself. 'S-Syaoran you must wake up! Meiling will miss you! I'll miss you! Your mother will miss you! I know you must think that she hates you, but she doesn't! She has complete faith in you waking up! Don't let her faith be put to the test!' Sakura closed her eyes. This was very hard, she had to refrain herself from crying. 'Syaoran you want to know why I love you? Why? You were unlike anyone I've ever met before, you were thoughtful, considerate, and I know you were caring-you were zealous also. You tended to put me before yourself.it was very kind of you. I have to admit I thought quite differently of you to begin with, but after we became closer I learned that there was something more to you. you aren't looking for trouble I know, it was just a burden being carried with you throughout your entire life. Let it pass Syaoran; what's done is done. Now forgive her, I know you want to.'

She stopped once more and stared at him. Not a budge. She began to wonder if he could hear her at all, or if this was just a waste of her breath. But still Sakura remained confident in waking him up. 'Syaoran do you still think I'm mad at you? I-I forgive you for the bet! I really do! It was just a mistake you made before we got to know each other. Please forgive me to.' she trailed off. A few tears escaped from her eyes, it was highly impossible to keep them in.

Saturday night

Sakura still remained by his side, her hand still held his strongly. Syaoran hadn't budged at all during the day and it made Sakura very distraught. The nurse had come to check in regularly and turned the heater on making Sakura feel more at home. The nurse had also given her a blanket and a pillow, as she knew she would be staying over night. Sakura pulled the blankets up to her chin and stared out of the window. She was feeling very weary now, she had been talking to Syaoran practically all day, but there was still no response. Sakura yawned and her head lolled to its side. Sakura felt like she had suddenly been shaken to death. She had nearly fallen asleep!

'Syaoran how are you feeling now? I hope you're starting to recover-ah-' she let out another yawn. 'Syaoran just remember that I love you and my heart will always be by your side.' she closed her eyes and began giving into slumber. Sakura could no longer keep her eyes open, she let them stay closed. Sakura suddenly felt very warm and comfortable. If she had opened her eyes for even a slight second she might've seen the pink aura glowing off of her and off of Syaoran too..

Syaoran's dream

I sat outside in my garden at the back. I sat under the shady trees that were near the fishpond. Next to me is the one person for me-my soul mate. She is very beautiful, she reminds me some what of an angel, and one of those angels that mother used to tell me all about when I was younger. They used to watch over people. Maybe that's what she was doing with me? Watching over me? Well she had changed me a lot, turned my heart from cold to adoring. I never thought I would love someone like this-not ever in a million years. But here I am now happy, caring, carefree, and loving. She says she loves me, has never felt like this way about anyone before. I feel the same way too. Why do I feel all warm, like someone's hugging me? I feel so happy and content for some unexplainable reason. When I looked into her green eyes what I saw was amazing-she was glowing a mysterious pink color. She grabbed my hand gently and indicated for me to look down at my hands too. I did so and saw that I was also enveloped in a strange pink aura. What was going on?

'Syaoran just remember that I love you and my heart will always be by your side.' she whispered to me with a loving smile on her face.

Maybe she was an angel? Why were we glowing pink? I felt relaxed, safe, calm, unharmed and like nothing could spoil my feelings for her ever.

I blushed and smiled. 'I love you too Sakura, I wont ever stop loving you.' I whispered back now ignoring the pink aura. She laughed happily and leant in and kissed me. My heart immediately felt extremely warm and fluttery. I smiled and kissed her back. Oh how I loved her, and I never want that feeling to leave me.

Sunday morning-one day to go

Sakura awoke slowly to the sun beaming directly in her face. Sakura blinked. She remembered that she was in the hospital-with Syaoran. She had secretly hoped that this was all a bad dream, one that she could sleep off, and one that would go away. She felt that her hand was still in his. She smiled; she had held his hand all day and night. Slowly she unwrapped her hand from his. Her hand felt slightly numb from being in one position for a long time. She gave it a good shake and then quickly went into the bathroom to wash her face. She turned the tap on and let the cold water run out of it for a few seconds. Sakura cupped her hands together and brought them under the tap letting her hands fill p with water. When they were full she leant over the sink and splashed her face with it. She felt suddenly very awake and good as new. After she dried off her face with the hand towel she went to leave the room. But something caught her eye. It was something fluorescent. She turned back to face the mirror and saw a vague pink glow around her body. It was only just visible.

'Wha--? What is this glow? I saw it when Syaoran was badly injured.' Sakura touched her skin slightly, as if expecting something peculiar to happen. But nothing happened. 'Maybe my eyes haven't adjusted to the light in this room yet?' she shrugged it and went to take her seat next to Syaoran again.

'I wonder?' Sakura pondered hardly. She thought hardly. What had happened when she had this glow around her last time? 'Syaoran's wounds seemed to heal.. magically.' Sakura gazed down at the more peaceful looking Syaoran. He did look a lot better then yesterday. 'Maybe if I.?' Sakura paused. She was crazy even considering this thought. But who knows? She sat up and leant over Syaoran's body. 'Syaoran please awaken.. I love you.' she cried softly, closing her eyes. She began leaning in closer to him now, her tears running down the side of her face now. Sakura gently placed her lips over his and kissed him softly.

'Please wake up Syaoran!' Sakura repeated in her head.

As she slowly drew away she noticed once more that Syaoran was tinted a pink color. Sakura was still perplexed over this whole glowing thing. But she smiled more then she had ever done in her life when she saw Syaoran's eyes open slowly.
