Mute and the Unseen

Kameha: I don't own CCS…. Yeah…

Summary: Sakura is blind while Syaoran is deaf. It was hard enough trying to communicate with each other, but what if it was fate that brought them together?

Chapter 3

A week after the incident, things seemed back to normal as the foursome understood each other once and a while. It was especially hard for Sakura and Syaoran though. Neither could speak or had any forms of communication. Tomoyo always translated what they were saying.

//W.h.a.t c.a.n w.e d.o n.o.w?\\ Syaoran asked as his fingers moved swiftly and formed each letter of the word carefully.

"What can we do now?"

"Well, there is nothing else we could do." Sakura sighed. During Sundays, it's usually quite a hard time to think of something to do. Mitsuki always had some business to do, the other kids would usually watch their Sunday morning cartoons while the group had nothing else to do.

// W.e.l.l, t.h.e.r.e i.s n.o.t.h.i.n.g e.l.s.e w.e c.o.u.l.d d.o.\\ Tomoyo repeated to the disabled boy. Syaoran nodded in agreement.

Eriol sat beside them, listening to his compact Discman as usual. "Say Tomoyo, you're pretty good at this translating stuff."

"Well, it helps most of the time."

"Maybe it might be a good idea to teach Sakura some of it! Then she'll understand what Syaoran is trying to say!"

"Sakura is blind. There's nothing we could do. I doubt she can understand Braille."

Sakura reached over to Tomoyo and took her hand. "Show me, maybe I can learn in a way."

"Alright." Tomoyo formed with her fingers the letter A in sign language. Her fingers were wrapped into a fist with her thumb on the side.

//A\\ "A, this is the first letter. You pronounce it, 'ah'."

Sakura carefully placed her fingers around Tomoyo's hand. Examining every little detail of the balled fist.

"A."

As the auburn haired girl finished, she attempted to wrap her fingers into a fist like shape.

//A.\\ Syaoran looked up at her with a warm smile. 'I guess she might be able to talk to me after all.' He too wrapped his fist into a ball.

//A. B.a.l.l\\

Tomoyo glanced over to Syaoran. "Sakura, I think Syaoran wants to show you something."

She nodded as she approached him. Wrapping her delicate fingers around his hand, she managed to figure out the A's.

"Is he trying to say a wall?"

Tomoyo giggled, "Good try, but I think he was trying to say he wants to play with a ball outside, why don't you, Eriol and Syaoran go outside. I'll catch up later okay?"

Sakura nodded in agreement. "Sure, Come on Eriol… Umm…"

//S.a.k.u.r.a w.a.n.t.s t.o p.l.a.y o.u.t.s.i.d.e w.i.t.h y.o.u\\ Tomoyo signaled him.

He nodded and helped the blind girl direct herself outside. Eriol looked back at Tomoyo and asked, "Are you sure you'll be coming soon?"

Tomoyo nodded as she signaled him. //I'.m s.u.r.e\\

"I'm not blind or deaf you know… I can see perfectly well myself." Eriol said before he walked right into pole and fell.

"Are you sure about that now?" Tomoyo grinned.

Eriol grunted and stumbled away, trying to catch up to Sakura and not trying to be outsmarted by Ms. I-Know-Everything behind him.

After they got outside, the best place to play catch would be in the empty spot behind the park and in front of the sidewalk.

Eriol grinned as he tossed the ball to Sakura. Like he expected, Sakura didn't notice the ball was coming closer, so she didn't react. He walked over to pick up the ball and threw it to Syaoran who caught it with ease.

'That's no fair, Eriol knew Sakura was blind… Oh! I know!' Syaoran let out a quick scream before he threw the ball. "Aulaa!"

The ball was caught between the hands of the young girl. She moved her hands around the ball to identify the unknown object in her hands.

//L.e.t o.u.t a s.o.u.n.d b.e.f.o.r.e s.h.e t.h.r.o.w.s s.o s.h.e k.n.o.w.s w.h.e.r.e y.o.u a.r.e.\\

Nodding, Eriol shouted, "Sakura! Over here!" Seconds later, he was in control of the ball. "Well, that was easy." He said as he threw the ball over to Syaoran.

The game went on for 5 minutes, even though Tomoyo hadn't shown up yet. But they still enjoyed it. Syaoran took note of Sakura's face when she played. Her sweet smile, the angel-like face… Syaoran blushed at it and threw the ball unexpectedly.

Sakura hears the swift noise and follows the swift sound that was going to land. Syaoran watched as the ball landed on the sidewalk and kept rolling. 'She's so…' He turned around to face Eriol and Tomoyo who stood there with mouths gaped open.

SCREECH!

"SAKURA!" Tomoyo screamed.

Syaoran, puzzled by their looks, he turned around to see the almost empty road. A blood covered ball, a car who just kept driving and a blood gushing body of a girl.

'SAKURA!!!'
