Authors Notes: Well I finally get another apart up! Wooohooo! It's a little shorter than the others but you guys will have to deal J! Anyways hope you enjoy and thanks to everyone who reviewed before!

Love, unrequited, robs me of my rest:
Love, hopeless love, my ardent soul encumbers:
Love, nightmare-like, lies heavy on my chest,
And weaves itself into my midnight slumbers!
--William S. Gilbert, "Iolanthe"

"Damit what bad luck!" Tomoyo exclaimed glaring at the phone hoping it would burst into flames. No such luck as the device sat there unharmed. She sighed looking down towards her watch. Just 15 minutes tell her flight out to Paris. Apparently their was a disaster out at one of her fashion studios and only she could solve it. She was to fly out their immediately and take care of the problem. She barely had time to get to the airport never mind saying goodbye to her boyfriend. "I guess I'll just call him on my cell, on the plane." Tomoyo stated grabbing her coat. She put it on and quickly existed to the cab waiting outside for her.

Xiao Lang gently swept Sakura into his arms. He couldn't help but notice she was extremely underweight. She probably hasn't eaten in days he thought bitterly. What was he going to do with her though? He couldn't take her to the hospital…. He had promised he wouldn't. He started running careful with the bundle in his arms. Xiao Lang decided to bring her back to her own apartment. She would probably be more comfortable there. He could only hope her door was unlocked or there was a key around.

He cursed as a rain drop splattered onto his shoulder. Many more followed after its brother. Xiao Lang picked up his pace as Sakura's apartment came into sight. He juggled Sakura a bit in his arms getting the door open fairly easy.

Kero opened one eye as he heard footsteps near the door. He yawned stretching out a bit on the bed. His stomach made a sound as he realized he hadn't eaten since this morning. ~Well at least Sakura's home~ He thought giddily as the door opened up.

"Sakura thank god your home I'm starving!" Kero exclaimed going to greet his mistress at the door. Xiao Lang almost dropped Sakura as a small stuffed animal flew over to him and started talking. His eyes grew wide as he was left speech.

"Ack Syaoran!!!!!! Your suppose to to be dead!" Kero exclaimed finding his voice first.

"What… what the hell are you?!" Xiao Lang questioned getting over his shock. Kero stared at the figure infront of him. Syaoran certainly didn't look like a ghost. Infact he looked like he had grown a bit from the last time he saw him. But there was no mistake this had to be the Syaoran Sakura fell in love with, Auras don't lie.

"Well?!?" Syaoran exclaimed bringing Kero out of his thoughts.

"Umm I'm a rear type of bear only found in umm Africa!!" Kero explained deciding that obviously Syaoran didn't recognize him. Suddenly Kero's attention got caught by what Syaoran was holding.

"What did you do to her you Chinese Gaki?!?!" Kero exclaimed.

"ME?!? She fainted in the store!! I didn't do anything!" Xiao Lang replied hotly. "Get out of my way whatever you are…. We've got to bring down the fever." Kero let the kid past figuring Sakura was safe. He knew Syaoran would do anything he could to help Sakura. He would just have to wait to find out what was going on.

Xiao Lang gently put Sakura on her bed. He glanced at her wet cloths and suddenly become an interesting shade of red.

"What?!" Kero asked seeing the kid was just standing there.

"Well… ummm we have to get her into some dry cloths…" Xiao Lang stated. He didn't understand why he was having this reaction. After all he was a doctor this should be a piece of cake. ~Her being the most beautiful creature on earth has nothing to do with it right?~ His inner voice snickered. ~Shut up!~ He mentally yelled. "Great now I'm fighting with myself…"

"Well… I can't exactly do it…" Kero replied. He didn't understand why Syaoran was being so shy all of a sudden. After all it wasn't like this was the first time he was going to see Sakura without cloths. He sighed no matter how much he didn't like it Syaoran was the only one who could do this at the moment.

Xiao Lang took a deep breath and started stripping off the wet cloths. ~Strictly professional!~ He stated to himself. After several noise bleeds the task was done and Sakura was curled under the blankets. Xiao Lang took a face cloth and placed it over her head. He gently swept the hair from her face running his hand along her cheek. He had already come to the conclusion that this was only an episode of exhaustion and lack of food. Sakura obviously hadn't been sleeping or eating well.
"She'll be alright right?" Kero asked sitting on Syaoran's shoulder. Kero glanced at Syaoran ruling out immediately that he no longer loved Sakura. He could tell by the way Syaoran looked at Sakura that he still loved her.

"She will be fine. But I suggest someone stays with her for a while. And I mean someone… human. Someone who can cook and make sure she gets lots of rest." Xiao Lang replied.

"Why don't you call Tomoyo? She should be at her office. The number is speed dial four." Kero suggested gesturing to the phone. Xiao Lang nodded picking it up and hitting four. After a few rings he got Tomoyo's secretary.

"Hello may I speak to Miss. Daidouji?"

"I'm sorry Miss. Daidouji won't be available for quite sometime. She had to take care of an emergency in Paris. Would you like to leave a message?" The woman stated cheerfully on the other end.

"No thanks." Xiao Lang replied placing the phone back down. "Does she have any other friends who could take care of her apparently Tomoyo is away." Xiao Lang questioned.

"Umm well not really she keeps to herself mostly." Kero informed. "So I guess this means you get the privilege." Kero winked as Syaoran sat back into the chair.

"She barely knows me!" Xiao Lang protested closing his eyes.

"So are you willing to leave her all alone than?" Kero asked already knowing the answer. "That's what I thought!" Kero exclaimed after a few moments of silence.

"You know I'm not stupid." Xiao Lang stated opening one of his auburn eyes to pear at Kero.

"Eh?" Kero asked a bit confused, that was kind of random.

"A bear from Africa?! I'm not buying it… but I'm too tired to care." He explained, Kero sweatdropped.

"Why don't you get some rest kid? I'll watch over her." Kero suggested. Xiao Lang nodded as he felt himself already leaving awareness.

"Guess he was tired." Kero stated as the boy started snoring lightly. "Now… to figure out what's going on. Syaoran is supposed to be dead. Yet here he is just as alive as Sakura and myself. Could it be he never died in the first place? But how come he didn't know who I was. I know we weren't the best of friends but you'd think he'd remember me at least! Though he said he didn't know Sakura well…. He knows her more than anyone! Urgh this is so frustrating! Than does that mean he doesn't remember her either!" Kero sighed realizing he wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on. Not tell he got all the facts from all three of them. Kero fluttered over to Sakura's neck and curled up into it. He mine as well get some of his own rest. He figured it would be a long day tomorrow.

~Dream~

Sakura paced nervously infront of Tomoyo. Tomoyo watched almost getting dizzy as her friend went back and forth.

"Oh Tomoyo what if he doesn't want this?!" Sakura exclaimed finally stopping and throwing her hands up into the air in frustration. Tomoyo noticed tears trying to force there way out. She pulled her friend to sit down and whipped the tears from her eyes.

"Sakura calm down. Syaoran loves you. He'll do anything for you. He will understand don't worry about it."

"But.."

"Shhh no buts!" Tomoyo replied hushing Sakura. "I bet he will be overjoyed."

"You think so?" Sakura questioned hesitantly whipping her eyes.

"Yes…. You two will be great parents believe me I know!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "Now when he comes home you're going to tell him ok!" Sakura nodded sighing her nerves where getting the better of her.

Flash

~New Scene~

Sakura opened her eyes but saw nothing but darkness. A shot of pain ran throughout her body as she tried to move. A tiney groan escaped her she felt like death warmed over twice. Again she tried to focus her eyes but still found nothing but darkness. She panicked relaxing she didn't know where she was or what happened.

"Sakura?!" She heard a voice ask timidly. It took a few moments for the voice to register to Sakura.

"Tomoyo?! Is that you?!" Sakura questioned.

"Yes it's me." Sakura felt a bit of weight to her side as someone sat down on the bed. Light fingers whipped the hair from her face.

"Tomoyo I I can't see." Sakura stated her voice wavering in fear. Had she somehow lost her sight?

"That's because the doctors had to bandage your eyes honey. They got hurt." Tomoyo explained trying to sound like she hadn't been crying for hours. How could this have happen to her two best friends in the whole wide world. It wasn't fair.

"What happen?"

"You were in a car crash remember…?" Sakura thought for a moment trying to remember what had happened. Bits and pieces started to come back to her. Her and Syaoran in a car talking and laughing. She was driving and she got distracted as Syaoran nibbled on her neck. Swerving and hitting someone else's car. Pain so much pain and and darkness. "Syaoran is ok right?!" Sakura choked now trying to get the images out of her head. She didn't want to remember anymore. Tomoyo was silent she knew she had to tell Sakura but she was hoping it would have been later.

"Right?!?" Sakura exclaimed urgently after getting no answer.

"I'm I'm sorry…" Tomoyo replied not being able to hold back her tears any longer. Sakura sat in shock this couldn't be happening. It wasn't real! It was just a bad dream one she needed to wake up from now! "Oh god no no no Syaoran please no!" Tears would have fallen from her eyes if they could have. She sobbed pulling her knees to her chest. This isn't real! Tomoyo tried to comfort her but was pushed away. Tomoyo sighed deciding Sakura needed some time alone. "It will be ok Sakura. You'll see." Tomoyo stated forcefully opening the door.

"No it won't!" Sakura sobbed. Syaoran was the only person who had kept her stable when her father and brother died. Now that he was gone there was nothing left holding her back.

*************************************************************************************************

Xiao Lang woke up to soft sobbing noises. He looked at the clock seeing that it was early morning. Glancing over to Sakura he could tell she was crying. Her knees where pulled up to her chest as she rocked back and forth. Trying to muffle her cries into her knees. Xiao Lang moved over to the bed and sat down.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly. After a few moments Sakura still gave no reply. She didn't even seem to realize he was in the same room. Xiao Lang pulled her into his arms not knowing exactly what he was doing. All he knew was that he couldn't stand to see her cry and wanted to make it all better for her. She buried her face into his chest grabbing onto his shirt tightly. Xiao Lang ran his fingers through her hair in a soothing manner. "Shhhh its ok your ok." He said softly trying to get her to stop crying. Sakura seemed to calm down a bit as her sobs stopped. Soon she was breathing normally and was in a light sleep. Xiao Lang sigh in relief glad she was getting more much needed sleep. He went to go back to his chair but was stopped. She still had her arms tightly wrapped around him. It looked like she wouldn't be letting go anytime soon either. He blushed slightly realizing he was going to have to stay in her bed if he didn't want to wake her up. He laid back down yelling at himself for enjoying the feeling of her skin. Honestly he couldn't believe himself anymore. This was going to be a long night Xiao Lang decided. Sakura curled up against him, No make that an extremely long night.
