"Don't continue your search for her. It could endanger both your lives."
The postmans words echoed through Syaorans head as he held Sakura. He had already called paramedics and was praying that her father wouldn't come home before the paramedics got there.
Unfourtunatly he did.
~*~*~*~*
Fujitaka walked into his house. He noticed something. The lights were all on. He noticed something else. Drips of blood leading up the stairs and into Touya's room. He followed the trail and was horrified at what he saw.
~*~*~*~*
Syaoran wouldn't look into his eyes.
"What happened?!?!?" Was all Fujitaka could manage to say.
"Yaoi...kidnapped me....Sakura....saved...shot...my fault."
Seconds later the paramedics arrived.
"Whats happend to her?" One asked.
"She was shot." Syaoran answered.
"My god..." The other said, gazing at Sakura.
Within seconds they had her out of there and speeding towards the hospital. Syaoran saw a crowd gathered, which included a lot of thier school friends. They had all recognized Sakura. They stared at Syaoran as if asking for an explination. They thought he could explain given the fact that there was blood running all down his shirt. Sakura's blood.
Tomoyo came running up and, staring at the scene, guessed that it wasn't good news.
"Sakura-chan?"
"Hai. She was shot. They think it just missed her heart."
"WHY ARE YOU STANDING THERE LETS MOVE!" She shouted at him.
~*~*~*~*
They waited for hours. Still no news. Fujitaka was sitting in the waiting room once they arrived. No one really spoke. Tomoyo had Kero in her pocket and apparently Yukito, Eriol and Nakaru were coming. 5 hours in total they were finally updated by a nurse. Well, Fujitaka was. Everyone else was told to wait. Upon return a thousand questions were thrown upon Fujitaka. He hushed everyone and finally began to speak.
"She's in the operating room. She's been there this whole time. The bullet did hit her heart. Apparently it tore through it. She's lost a lot of blood and they're still trying to get the bleeding under control. She's flat lined a couple of times but they've managed to bring her back. They dont know when they'll be done."
The news was grim. Only Syaoran could find the courage to speak.
"Will she...live?"
Fujitaka suddenly became very interested in the floor.
"They don't think so."
"But there IS hope?"
"Very very little."
"I won't give up hope." he muttered.
~*~*~*~*
12 hours after she had been brought in they still hadn't heard any new news. The paramedics who brought her in had visited, having no calls at the moment, to see if she would live.
"Why don't we try to take our minds off of it?" Eriol suggested.
There was a TV in the waiting room and he turned it to a local station. They watched for 5 minutes before a breaking news bulliten hit.
"This is a breaking news story: Mass Murderer Yaoi, has escaped from prision. He has also shot the only person ever to witness a murder. She is now fighting for her life. Now we bring you life to a reporter on the scene."
Everyone glared at Eriol.
"Just a suggestion..." Eriol said. "Maybe we should-"
"SHHHH!" Everyone said.
"The girl, 16 year old, Sakura Kinomoto, has been under the witness protection program for the last year. Doctors have informed me that there is a .1% chance of survival. The bullet is said to have torn through her heart. She is out of surgery now and in the critical care unit, in a coma. Doctors believe it will be a miracle if she survives. Family and friends sitting in the waiting room have yet to hear the update. However once the update has been given to them, we will try to interview them."
"We now return to normal programming. We will inform you if anything new comes up."
"SO THEY TELL THE REPORTERS AND NOT US DO THEY?" Syaoran yelled.
"Syaoran calm down." Tomoyo urged even though they were all thinking that exact thing.
~*~*~*~*
Half an hour later a nurse came in. She was about to speak but Syaoran inturrupted her.
"We've already heard. You know, someone should think of telling-"
"Can we see her?" Fujitaka asked.
The nurse nodded.
"Please don't take your time. We don't know how much longer she'll live for and we'd like everyone to get a turn. But be warned, it is a little shocking. She's still in a coma."
~*~*~*~*
First Fujitaka went in, then Tomoyo and Eriol. After them Yukito and Nakaru and then it was Syaorans turn...
"Thanks for nothing." He said to the nurse as he walked in. He heard Tomoyo apoligizing as he shut the door.
He stood there in shock. She was hooked up to all these machines and was barley visable. Her face was pale and practically lifeless. She wasn't even breathing on her own. He hated seeing his little cherry blossom like this. But this was probably the last time he would see her. Ever.
"Sakura? Its me...Syaoran."
He heard her heart speed up for a second. He laughed.
"I know you're listening aren't you? I just wanted to say that...that...I'm sorry. Its all my fault. It should be me lying there in that bed, dying. Not you. You didn't need to give your life for mine. I could have faced death. I remember the first time I saw you. You were just sitting there inoccently and I glared at you. You looked so scared. Scared yet cute..."
Her heart speed up again then went back to normal.
"Sakura. I know this is probably the last time I'll ever see you. I just want to tell you that...I love you. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone or anything in my life. I just want you to be without pain... Even if that means dying. Just remember if you die and when you go to heaven... That I love you."
Syaoran shed a tear. He looked at Sakura and saw a tear running down her face. He turned to get everyone else but he stopped. He heard something.
"I love you too...Syaoran."
He ran back over there.
"Sakura? You spoke!"
"H...Hai."
"You're going to be alright now I know it." Syaoran said with joy filling his heart.
Then
Suddenly
The heart moniter went into a long droning beep.
The nurse walked in.
"I'm sorry sir. Shes gone."
~*~*~*~*
Yes I hate myself for that cliff hanger. Maybe I can get one more chapter up?
The postmans words echoed through Syaorans head as he held Sakura. He had already called paramedics and was praying that her father wouldn't come home before the paramedics got there.
