Fate changes course Chapter 5 The largest problem is yet to come

"What are you doing here?!" Sakura asked while pulling her towel a little higher
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Li stood up and dusted his clothes
"I was having a dip in the hot spring trying to forget about." She stopped for a moment and gazed into his eyes, she were very attracted to them. ". someone."
"Me?" Li asked in a depressive tone as he looked down
"Maybe."
"I'd better leave."
"Yeah, maybe you should leave" Sakura said as she watch Li enter the bushes again.
Every time destiny would put the two together, people and other obstacles pushed them apart. Thursday had come and everything was set for the farewell dance and the welcoming back of the famous Li Syaoran. As the sun started to set in the west, people started to gather near the beach. The sound of the ocean waves clashing with the rocks calms the mind. The feel of the cool breeze relaxes the soul and the sight of the sun setting brings romance high up in the air. A girl was sitting on the sand watching the sky turn red to dark blue. She sighed a breath of relief that the week was almost over and the school opening is further away than she thought it would be. She stood up from her position and started to walk towards home.
"Sakura-chan!" Two girls called from down the streets. Sakura turned around and saw Chiharu and Rika waving at her. She ran down the street when suddenly everything in she saw turned dark.
Sakura woke up to find herself in the hospital. She looked around and found no one was there at all. When she sat up straight, her side stung a little. She winced and lay back in bed. She tried to stay awake but a strong urge to sleep overtook her. She yawned softly, and closed her eyes as she drifted off to sleep

Dream Sequence (Sakura's POV)

"Sakura" A voice called out to me, I looked everywhere to find the source of that voice. I left the hospital room and walked among the people. The whole place seemed so quiet that I can only hear myself breathing. "Sakura" the voice called again. I walked along the halls, when I saw this door that had a carving of the Hope card, but instead of a girl it was Li. "Sakura" the door started to open, and what I saw inside was a sight I can't take. Li was there, embracing a girl I didn't know. "Why do I feel envious? I hate him, but why?" I looked down and saw a drop of water on my palm "What are these? Tears? why? Shouldn't I be happy that he finally found somebody he truly likes and loves? What and why are all these question filling my head?" I started to cry as I sat down and curled myself on the ground. As I continued to cry I felt a touch on my shoulder, I looked up and saw Li looking at me as held a hand down for me. I was about to hold when he disappeared into thin air.

End of dream (normal pov)

Sakura opened one of her eye to see if that event really happened, but much to her surprise it was just a dream. She looked around the room, the sun was shining brightly through the window, the garden view was so beautiful. Flowers were everywhere and not a single sign of clouds high up in the clear blue sky.

"I cannot take this anymore." She whispered to herself

"You don't have to if you don't want to." A voice from the other side of the room said

"Eriol-kun?" Sakura asked as she looked at him

"Sakura-chan. gomen, if we weren't there to help you."

"Iie, Tomoyo-chan" Sakura smiled as she realize that they were here to visit her

"Sakura, we know what's been going in your life. we also know that you wouldn't want us to bother you about it, but as your friends I think we have the right to help you now." Eriol pointed out

"Sakura-chan, we're not use to seeing you like this. we can't afford to ignore your current situation. You being lonely, depressed just isn't right. we want to see the old you." Tomoyo said as tears started to stream down her cheeks

"Tomoyo-chan ." Sakura said feeling a little guilty about herself

'I didn't know my actions led to this.' Sakura thought

"Sakura, the doctor said you had a only had a sprain in your left ankle. it would heal before the dance so don't worry. We have to go. please think about it." Eriol said as he left the room with Tomoyo who was now wiping her tears.

The day went by fast and soon it was Friday afternoon when Sakura and her brother Touya checked out of the hospital.

"Ne, oniichan, can I go to the dance? Please!"

"Sakura. you're ankle isn't that good yet. I can't risk getting you hurt again." Touya stopped walking.

"Demo. I really wanna go! And my ankle doesn't hurt that bad." Sakura pleaded
"Fine, if your ankle agrees with it. but for now, we are going straight home!" Touya said as they started walking again.
When they reached home, Sakura looked in to see if anyone is home.
"Otosan's not home, he said something about a meeting in New York. He left about an hour ago. he'll be back tomorrow" Touya explained
"Oh." Sakura said as she limped to her room. When Sakura finally reached her room, she quickly plopped down on her bed and instantly dozed off. As the sun started to set, teenagers started to fill up the auditorium.
"Sakura-chan's not here." Tomoyo said.
"Don't worry, she'll be coming" Eriol assured her as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I hope so."
"I'M LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed so loud that the entire neighborhood shook.
"Even at a party she's late sheesh!" Touya told Yukito
"She must have overslept somehow." Yukito sweatdropped
"Well."
"Sakura, you look. nice but didn't you were that to every party you've been through." Kero said
"Maybe I'd better call Tomoyo. and tell her I'm out of clothes."
"Tell her to bring some sweets and cake too!" Kero exclaimed
"Hai!" Tomoyo was sitting at a blue round table with Eriol, Yamazaki and Chiharu, drinking her punch, when her cellular phone rang.
"I'd better take this call, it might be my mom or somebody. I won't take long" She smiled as she went out to the balcony and answered it.
"Hello?" Tomoyo greeted
"Tomoyo-chan" the other line said
"Sakura-chan?! Where are you?"
"Well, I'm sorta out of clothes to pick."
"I'd be there in a jiffy"
"Hai! And Kero wants some sweets" Sakura said before she hung up Tomoyo went inside and told Eriol that Sakura needs her but before she could leave the emcee started to talk.
"Now, everybody let us welcome to the stage Li Syaoran and his girlfriend Tsamei!"
"Oh dear" Tomoyo sadly said "Sakura." Author's note: Please review people! Thanks!
