Chapter 3. "Sinking Deeper. "
Sakura
I wonder if Li-kun would understand my situation.. he'd probably call me a blockhead for falling prey to such. But then, oKaa-sama ( my Mother ).. all I ever wanted was to see her again.. to be held by her.. and to see my otto- san ( my Father ) so happy.. it's all I ever wanted. I wonder why Clow- sama couldn't just ask it from me in person.
"Hey, Sakura.. " Syaoran gestured to a table at the end where customers were looking.. really impatient. "Eee! Gomen!" I sped up my walk a little and served them their Cappuccino and Strawberry Shortcake.
"Ne.. Who did all the baking? The food looks so good." I asked everyone. "I did", Tomoyo said smiling. "Oee! Tomoyo-chan, I had no idea that you could cook like this!" then whispered, "Ne, Tomoyo-chan, I bet Kero would just LOVE some of these.. I'll buy some later okay?". "Hai, Sakura-chan. I hope Kero-chan will like it as well... Ohh! Btw, I just made this CUTE costume for you just last weekend." She said grinning.
"Ehh? What costume? Oh!! Did you guys know costumes were first made from real animal skins? They used to strip it out with blood and some meat hanging from it and everything when the animals are still alive... " Yamazaki says in a Know-it-all voice "People in Africa still do it till this very.. " "Ew!!! Yamazaki Takashi. Stop it right this instant! We don't want everyone to be throwing up while they're serving people. Mataku. ( Geez. )" Chiharu cuts him off and drags him by the ear.. although Yamazaki was still mumbling more rubbish. – sweat drop - Phew. Chiharu the lifesaver.
I felt dizzy, and I tried to hold on to anything.. anything I could grab on to. The last thing I felt was something warm.. then I fell to the ground unconscious.
Instead of seeing something beautiful, this time I only heard of voices, and all I saw was red.. flames. I crouched down to avoid getting burned.. but, it wasn't hot. But something about this, made me scared.. and worried. I looked around to find black goo.. and it clung to my leg.. and to my body.. until it almost reached my face, and every second it was trying to crush me. I tried to scream, but I couldn't, and I wanted to use my cards but I forgot to bring them with me. I left my bag on the table back at the café!
Crap.
All I could do was hope and pray that nothing bad will happen to me. After I stopped whimpering.. I heard a voice.. it was really, unstable and it sounded old.. "Don't... in... to... him... Don't.... in.. to.. him...!!!!" It bellowed.. It was so loud I almost wanted to cry.
"Iyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ( Nooo!! )
Then I woke up to see everyone around me.. with scared faces, especially Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun. "Eh.. Yume.. desu.. ka..? ( A dream? )" was all I was able to say.
Luckily, the festival ended. And almost everyone went home. But Li-kun stayed with me.. he wanted to know what happened to me exactly a few minutes ago, how I got the bruise, and why I was so scared. I told him everything.. and he nodded. Not scolding me.. which.. I found quite unusual. It was something new, but I knew that Syaoran is kind deep inside.

Syaoran
"Sakura, are you sure it was Clow Reed?"
She only nodded.. and shivered a bit. I gave her my jacket, and wrapped it around her. She looks pretty shaken up. She continues, "I don't know what it meant.. what he said.. 'Don't.. in .. to.. him?' left me clueless, really." She said frowning. I can't help but feel worried too. I'm worried about her more than anything.. I don't want anything bad to happen to her.. ever.
"So what.. should we do, Sakura? Is there something I can do? Although, I seriously doubt Clow Reed would want his cards back. And besides.. you finally got back all of them.. and.. I thought you JUST recently turned them into Sakura Cards?"I didn't want her to give them back.. not after all the hard work she put into this. Not after all the effort of even capturing them and turning them back to their original forms.
I was scared.
"Sakura.. you're not.. planning on giving them back in exchange for your dream world.. are you?" I asked hoping she'd say no. But instead, I see her gaze on some other direction.. looking like she isn't even sure which is which. But, if you think about it.. nothing would go wrong anyway right? Clow-sama CAN still keep things in order, or is capable of sealing them.. or whatever he plans to do with them.
But something in me.. told me it was a bad idea. A really .. really bad idea.
"Well, the only advice I can give you is that.. whatever your decision may be.. hopefully it is for the best... But listen carefully, okay? Nothing, can ever replace the real thing. Even if the truth may hurt.. and even if it is something that you don't want, it still beats the lie.. but, if you really want to live that way.. then I seriously have no complaints about it since.. it's your decision anyway.."
No answer.
"Sakura?"
I turn to see her with closed eyes.. Did she go back? Is she asleep? Dreaming? Her body started to move to the side from her weight.. and I pulled her when she was about to fall off the bench. I held her close.
She's.. so warm.. I just.. wanted to stare at her face. So I did.. and can't help but push back the strands of hair on her face and tucked it behind her ears. I looked at her some more.. and started.. to notice something I thought she'd never do.
Drool.
"Uhm. Okay.. I guess.. some people are.. so full of surprises.. ", I laughed to myself uneasily, "Well.. at least Sakura is."
While I was waiting for her to wake up.. A few minutes later, she started to cling to me.. and kept screaming.. And looked like she had a hard time breathing.. and started to sweat profusely.
Crap! She's burning up! I must do something! Quickly! But, I cant think of anything.. so I just held her hand and kept calling her.. hoping she'd wake up.
She stopped screaming after a few seconds.. but was holding on to my hand and started to convulse. And shook. I was getting even MORE worried.
No.. NO.. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
"Sakura!! SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! WAKE UP!"
