Weeks went by since the lovers discovered each other again. They had decided to take some time off from their work to spend time with each other. The days were spent cuddling, talking, and watching movies. Sakura's mental health was slowly but surely stabilizing. Infact she was much better than she had been just last week, even letting Syaoran leave the house without her. Any other guy might find this annoying or to clingy, but Syaoran didn't mind at all. He knew how traumatized they had both been and intended to do everything he could to fix it.
Even though Sakura's mental health started to improve unfortunately that wasn't the case for her physical health. Despite Syaoran expertise in cooking Sakura could rarely keep anything down. Which ultimately worried Syaoran beyond no belief. He tried every kind of substance he could think of to try and sooth her stomach, but nothing seem to work. She was losing far too much weight and usually just stared at the food infront of her wearily. The very same thing she was doing at the moment. Syaoran sighed softly knowing she would object to the next suggestion.
"Sakura…. Please love… I think you need to see a doctor." Syaoran suggested hopefully. Sakura went stiff, she than smiled softly at Syaoran and picked up her fork and started to eat her food.
"But Syaoran love…. there isn't anything wrong!" She stated a bit too forcefully. Syaoran wasn't sure if she was trying to convince himself of this fact or her. Suddenly Sakura's face seemed to turn four shades bluer as she rushed towards the bathroom. Syaoran stared after her letting concern drip off him. He was worried about her and didn't know what to do for her. His practice told him that she was defiantly suffering from something, it looked most likely to be an eating disorder but he couldn't be sure unless some test were ran.
Syaoran got up from his kitchen chair and headed in towards the bathroom. Luckily she hadn't had time to lock the door this time, she usually did not wanting to bother Syaoran with such things as this. No matter how many times he told her that he loved her and WANTED to do these things for her. He gentle lifted up her hair as she vomited the rest of what little food she had managed to choke down. He stroked the honey brown hair gentle as her whole body shuttered. Syaoran's eyes went wide as he saw the substance coming out, there was food, but also mixed up with it was blood. Fear suddenly clenched up in Syaoran's heart, one did not just cough up blood for nothing. He bit his tongue urging the feelings down knowing that Sakura needed his support at the moment.
She finally lifted her head and let out a chocked sob. Syaoran pulled her close rubbing her aching body gentle.
"What's wrong with me Syaoran?" She half sobbed half chocked into his chest. She shivered her body weary from not being able to keep anything down.
"Shhh I don't know…. but you need to be checked out… ok?" Syaoran questioned. Sakura was too weak to protest so she just nodded knowing it would ease Syaoran's tension. He had been extremely tense these last few weeks whenever she got sick. The last thing she wanted to do was make him unhappy, so she would comply with his wishes. Syaoran stood up gentle lifting up Sakura with him. She had fallen back into unconsciousness which made Syaoran even more weary.
"Please be ok." Syaoran whispered barely audible as he pushed his face into her soft hair. He tried to force the tears away from his eyes, but one managed to escape. He had to stay strong for her she was counting on him and he wouldn't fail her again.

Tomoyo tapped her fingers thoughtfully against her desk. After her long chat with Sakura she had unintentionally come across some disturbing information that wouldn't leave her mind. Sakura had mentioned that Chris had been the doctor who had treated them in the past. Now that Tomoyo thought about it, it made a lot of sense after all she had met Chris originally when she was visiting Sakura in the hospital. She had never really known the doctor who had been assigned to Sakura and Syaoran. Tomoyo brushed her fingers through her hair sighing deeply. It didn't make sense though, why wouldn't he have mentioned such a fact, and just how did Syaoran end up being dead. Sakura had said something about his mother bribing a doctor… but if Chris had been the doctor…
"No that can't be right… I mean he would have told me before right…?" Tomoyo thought out loud. She decided the only way to figure this out was to obviously ask him. She glanced at her watch noting that the young doctor should be home anytime.
Just as that thought ran through her head the door opened to reveal an exhausted looking Chris.
"Hey Tomoyo." He greeted kissing her lightly on the lips. He put his arms around her pulling her into a standing position. "I missed you." He stated before letting his lips once again caress hers. Tomoyo almost lost herself in the emotions, but that annoying voice inside her urged her to get to the bottom of this mystery.
"Hmmm Chris… Sakura said that you were the doctor that treated her…. Were you? How come you never told me?" Tomoyo asked softly. Chris went rigid knowing that the day he had dreaded had finally come. He backed out of Tomoyo's arms glancing around the room to anyplace but Tomoyo. This only irked Tomoyo more and she knew the man now did actually have something to hide. "Well?" She questioned becoming a bit impatient.
"I was the doctor that treated Sakura." Chris replied glancing back to Tomoyo. She frowned slightly not liking the direction this was heading.
"And why didn't you tell me?" Tomoyo asked her voice tensing.
"I guess… the right time… just never came." Chris answered wincing at the tone she was using.
"So than were you the doctor that also treated Syaoran?" Tomoyo voiced already knowing the answer. Chris nodded letting his head hang low. "And you are also the one who informed us that Syaoran was indeed dead?" Tomoyo again already knew the answer but she needed it to be confirmed.
"Tomoyo it wasn't like that! I didn't know either of you! His mother threatened my career, MY LIFE! You know that I had nothing back then except my job! My parents didn't believe I could make it they thought I was a failure. If I lost that job I would have lost what little respect I gained from them!" Chris tried to explain frantically.
"And what about now?!? You knew Sakura now… you knew Syaoran now!! For God sakes you know me now!! And you didn't think to voice this information that you had!! It could have help Syaoran piece together what happen a lot earlier!! You've caused so much pain to Sakura her health has deteriorated! She'll probably never be the same again!! This is all your fault! My god I can't believe my boyfriend is responsible for my best friends ruined life!" Tomoyo yelled furiously.
"Tomoyo please try and understand!!" Chris tried to grab her wrist but she pulled away almost violently.
"No you understand. You've hurt the one person who has always been there for me! You weren't even planning on telling me were you?!?!"
"I wanted to! But Tomoyo I love you I didn't want to ruin what we have! I didn't know how much she meant to you back than, but I do now! Please Tomoyo!"
"No get out of my house… and out of my life!... I don't want to ever see you again!" They both stood in stunned silence both realizing that this truly was the end.
"Tomoyo…"
"Chris.. Just leave." Tomoyo stated forcefully. Chris bowed his head again knowing that things would never be the same. He had hurt someone that meant the world to Tomoyo.
As the door shut the tears that she had been holding back flooded down her cheeks. Chris only made it to his car before his own tears were shed.

"Mother please! Why do you have to destroy his life even more! You're already driven him away once! Isn't obvious he doesn't want to be in China! Why can't you just respect his decision?!" Leena exclaimed for the millionth time.
"And how many times do I have to explain to you that he is the only one who can run our clan! It his duty whether he wants it or not!" Li-san replied back just as hotly as her daughter.
"This is a big city! What makes you even think we will be able to find him?" Leena questioned glancing around the city. It was indeed huge and to find one person seemed to be no small task. Leena had to give it to Xiao Lang he certainly knew how to pick a city to hide in.
"We just have to give my contacts a little time and we will know where he is." Li-san replied making Leena sigh in return. She wished she could get a hold of her brother before their mother found him. She desperately wanted to warn him of their presence. But as stated before Leena had no idea where he was, so there was no way to get in contact with him. She could only hope that their mother came up empty handed, which seemed highly doubtful. When Li-san wanted something she got it… and by any means possible.

Syaoran paced the hospital hallway back and forth for what seem like hours. He hadn't checked Sakura out himself knowing that he was to close to the problem. It wasn't good to be emotionally involved in stuff such as this. The doctor that was checking on her though had insisted he stayed out here despite his many protests. Which of course he knew it made sense, but that didn't mean he liked it one bit. Syaoran ran a hand through his soft silky hair glancing towards the clock.
Sakura walked out of the room she had been in with the doctor.
"Sakura!" Syaoran exclaimed gently wrapping his arms around her. She smiled softly leaning her head on his shoulder. A slight yawn escaped her lips and her eyes shut tiredly.
"What did the doctor say?" Syaoran asked running a hand through her honey brown hair.
"He ran some tests but the results won't be back for a few days. So he can't tell until they come back." Sakura answered. Syaoran nodded wishing that these things could go faster.
"How are you feeling?" Syaoran questioned worry etching his voice.
"Hmmm tired… Let's go home." Syaoran guided Sakura to the car and the two spent a quiet evening at home. Despite what the test results showed they where both confident they would overcome it together. After all they had already come this far and it seemed that any obstacle thrown at them could be defeated.
