Syaoran made his way to the girl in front of him. 'Everything will be trashed out now!' He mentally thought to himself.

He tapped her shoulder, anticipating the outburst from Ying Fa, only to see a pair of brown eyes staring back at him. He looked at her again, realizing his mistake. This isn't Sakura, or Ying Fa. He has mistaken someone else for her.

"Yes?" The girl asked

"Sorry. I thought you were someone else." Syaoran blushed deeply as the girl nodded and continued listening to her music.

'Strange. I thought I sensed her. How did that happen if she wasn't in the shop?' Syaoran walked out of the music shop and banged into a lady.

"Sorry! I am so sorry! Are you okay?" Syaoran apologized furiously.

"It's okay Syaoran." The lady said. "Did you see Ying Fa?"

"Tomoyo!" he heaved in relief. At least he didn't embarrassed himself again. "I didn't see her."

"Where are they? I told her to meet me at the fountain at this time. Eriol too. However, when I reached there, none of them are there! Where are they?"

"Let's go back to the fountain and wait for them. I'm sure they will be coming soon." Syaoran tried to distract himself from the events that happened in the past few hours. The hostile stare from Ying Fa, the confrontation with Touya and Yukito, and the mistaken identity, seemed to be making his life just topsy-turvy!

Tomoyo nodded her head in agreement. 'I am going to get their necks when they come.'

Eriol stood at a secluded area in the shopping center, with his wand in his hands. 'Gomen Li-san. This is going to cause a lot of heartache. But I think this will make Sakura come to her senses.'

Syaoran followed Tomoyo as they made her way to the fountain. Suddenly, he felt his body weak and his powers being drained out of him. 'What is wrong with me?' He thought as he slumped onto the floor.

Tomoyo heard a thump behind her and turned around. "SYAORAN!" She screamed as she saw him on the floor. She went by his side and checked for a pulse. Nothing. "QUICK! CALL 911!"

"Tomoyo! Is that you?" Someone called out.

"Eriol! Oh Eriol! Call for the ambulance. Syaoran has no pulse. Please, take care of him." She stood up. "I have to find Ying Fa." With that, she ran off.

Eriol stared at the man on the floor and kneeled down. "I am so sorry. But this is the best for everyone. Bear with it." He touched his face, sending him into deep sleep.

"Thank God! I found you! Sakura, I want to see Sakura." A hysterical voice pierced through her thoughts.

She turned around and stared at Tomoyo. "What do you want her for? She has already shut herself out. You cannot see her already."

"Please, she has too. It's for her sake. Please, find some way to wake her up." Tomoyo pled.

She was so tempted to decline. However, she looked at Tomoyo looking at her, imploring her time and time again to wake Sakura up. She took a deep breath. "I will try. No promises."

Tomoyo nodded her head as Ying Fa closed her eyes.

'Wake up. Tomoyo wants to see you.'

'No, I don't want to see anyone anymore.'

'It's happening like the dream, the dream that we both had, at different point of our life. It's really important, you have to wake up and face it.' (note: please look back at the previous chapters if you are unaware of the dream they are talking about)

'What dream? I don't know any stupid dream. I don't want to see Tomoyo. I don't want to see Syaoran's eyes looking accusingly at me. The hurt in his eyes and angry words, all these that I do not wish to hear. I don't want to face it anymore.'

'Coward!'

'I am not a coward!'

'Then why don't you come out now? Tomoyo is worried about you. Yet you shut her out. Syaoran wanted to meet you, but you didn't want to listen to his explanation. Instead you closed yourself up, and let me handle the sadness, tears and begging from him.'

'He begged. That's the first.'

'This is not funny. Bottom line, I am not going to handle Tomoyo's tears. I saw her cried the other time in the bedroom. I don't want to handle them again.'

'No, I don't want to go out.'

'What if I tell you that if you don't come out, you are going to lose something that you love dearly?'

'There is nothing that I can lose.'

'Oh, so now you are not only a coward, but a liar as well.'

'I AM NOT A COWARD! NEITHER AM I A LIAR.'

'Prove it.'

'FINE, I COMING OUT!'

Ying Fa smiled and opened her eyes. She looked at the crowd and then looked at Tomoyo. "You can't expect me to change here do you?"

"No one will notice. Quick, she needs to know. It's really urgent."

'Funny how none of them remembered the dream.' Sakura stared at Tomoyo before allowing the white light to consume her. When she opened her eyes once more, she noticed that Tomoyo's eyes were red and had a panicked look on her face.

"Tomoyo. What's wrong? Did something happen to Eriol?"

"Is it you Sakura?" Tomoyo took her by her shoulder and studied her. "Thank God you are back. There is something really bad happened."

"What is it? Eriol?"

"No! No! Not Eriol. He is there." Tomoyo pointed into the crowd. "He is there, there! Not good, he won't make it!" Tomoyo started being hysterical, saying phrases that doesn't make sense.

"Tomoyo! Cool down. Who is not good? Eriol is not feeling well? What do you mean he won't make it?"

"Eriol is upset. Really upset. Saying something about him being stupid to do it. I don't know what he meant. But he won't make it. Paramedics are there, helping, saying blood pressure too low. He is there, not moving, no signs of life."

"WHO THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Sakura started yelling, unable to get through her friend's hysterical.

"Li, he loves you a lot. He just didn't say it. I didn't expect him to go without trying. Li, why are you so foolish. Eriol said you would be all right, after what Sakura said. But now, you are gone." Tomoyo started muttering to herself. She looked at Sakura and then wailed. "Li is there. I didn't expect him to die now. You shouldn't be too harsh on him Sakura. See, Li is dying, and there is nothing we can do." She suddenly calmed down and gave Sakura a look. "You shouldn't have rejected him. It hurt him pretty bad. Not to mention that the words that you made her said to him was especially hurtful.

Once Sakura registered what she was trying to say, she instantaneously rushed into the crowd and slowly inching her way in, until she reached the front. There she saw Syaoran's unresponsive body. Seeing him there, lying there lifelessly made her wanted to cry.

"Quick, we are losing him." A paramedic said.

"No. Don't die! I haven't told you how much I love you." Sakura couldn't help but cry out.

"He won't die, he is just waiting for you to tell him." Eriol came from behind and whispered to her.

"Eriol, he cannot die."

"Let him see you as who you are Sakura, and he will live." Eriol said, "Trust me."

"Will he? Will he really accept me? He looked at me as if I was tainted and filthy. I don't think he will accept me."

Eriol looked at her. "Concentrate on him. Try and talk to him. I believe for once, maybe, just maybe he will listen you and continue living."

Sakura looked at Syaoran and shook her head. "I don't dare to tell you who I am but if you survive, I will. Don't die. Please I beg you."

"Don't die on me! Don't die. I love you!" Sakura yelled at the figure on the floor that was surrounded by paramedics.

The figure did not move, but the only sign that showed that he did not hear her was that the sudden shout from one of the people in uniform. "Oh no...We are losing him."

'No! I cannot lose him! I cannot let him go without knowing how much I love him. I want him to know he had always brightened up my day with his silly smiles and nonsensical jokes.' Sakura sank down to her knees and cried out.

"I love you. Don't die on me."

'Sakura, do you want me to see whether I can invade his mind?'

'Can you?'

'If you focus hard enough, I might be able to breach it.'

'What will you tell him then?'

'Why of course, that you love him so much that if he survives, you will tell him everything.'

'Is it possible?'

'It's worth a shot. Let me try, and for once bring happiness to someone.'

'All right then, let's do it.'

Syaoran felt that he was floating in mid air. He sat up and to his horror that was actually what he was doing. Or is it?

'Syaoran. Can you hear me?'

"Who are you?" Syaoran shouted, alarmed when he heard the familiar voice, a voice that unbelievably sounds like Sakura.

'You silly, of course it's Sakura. Just that this is who you called her evil twin sister talking.'

"What's your problem? Why am I here, in this darkness? The last time I had this was when I was consumed by darkness during a grade 5 school play." Syaoran smiled at the memory. It was when Sakura captured the dark and light card, the same cards that helped her defeat Eriol.

'Well, let me bring you up to date. The last time I saw you through Sakura's eyes, you were lying in the middle of the shopping center, with paramedics around you trying to keep you alive.'

Syaoran shook his head in disbelief, before realizing what happened. How he felt his power drained off and as the result collapsed.

'Let's get this straight mister. As much as I hate your guts, I have to help Sakura tell you something important. Sakura loves you a lot. She is crying right now, each time she cries out your name and you don't even show any signs of recovering.'

"How the hack did you invade my mind?" Syaoran shouted.

'Telepathy.'

When Syaoran waited for her to elaborate, she decided to get to the point. 'Look, she loves you a lot. Get your ass back to this world and you will know why I have always been talking to you since your return to Japan.'

"So there was something wrong with her eh?"

'Stop thinking and come back.' When Syaoran's face filled with doubt, she sighed. 'She had a bad experience and as the result she shut herself out of the world. After you came back, she started coming out more often. Now, she is willing to tell you the story how I came about.'

"Is that it? Is that all you are going to tell me?" Syaoran vented his frustration.

'Quit complaining! Sakura is crying because of you! Do you want her to continue being sad?'

The question struck home. There was no way he could bear to see his pretty Cherry Blossom cry because of him. "All right. Now scram and tell her I will be coming back and fighting to live."

'Okay, and tell you something, there is nothing wrong with you seriously. Once you want to live, you will be all right.'

"Scram!" Syaoran shouted and started his uphill task of living for the sake of his Sakura.

Eriol tried his best to comfort Sakura while he watched for signs of Syaoran recovering. Suddenly, he saw this gray aura approaching him. It entered Sakura and for a moment, Sakura stopped sobbing and stood still, as if she was listening to something.

"He will be alright." Sakura said between sobs as she dried her tears.

As soon as she said that, the paramedics shouted. "His condition stabilized, quick, load him up the ambulance."

"How do you know?" Eriol asked, a little puzzled by the events that unfolded before his eyes.

"Don't ask. Quick, let's go to the hospital. I need to tell Syaoran and you something that you all should know all this while."

Hey! Thanks for waiting! I know it took quite some time to get this posted. Well... bring in the reviews. And for those who commented the chapters are too short, gomen, I cannot write anything as long as 2000 words! So, continue reviewing and take care!
