Author's Notes: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. And the song At Your Side
belongs to The ?" Eriol asked.
"She has a sickness Eriol...and it's tuberculosis", Kaho replied. The three gasped.
"Tomoyo you didn't even said anything that you have a sickness!" Syaoran nearly yelled. Sakura put her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry", Tomoyo said as she lowered her head. But what she didn't know is...
"Come along dear let's go", her mom said. ...that Eriol is so worried about her.
Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol and Kaho went home together with sad faces. "Let's just pray for her so that she'll be fine", Kaho began.
"I can't believe this! Tomoyo has a sickness! What if-"
"Sakura don't say it!" Eriol said angrily. "Don't say she's going to die".
"He's right Sakura. Think positive! She's you're best friend and closest cousin. Are you just going to think things like that?" Syaoran added.
"I'm sorry", Sakura apologized, near to tears. "I don't want to lose her".
"Me neither Sakura", Eriol added. "Me neither..."
"I'm sorry Madame but...you're daughter really had a sickness", the doctor said. Sonomi wanted to cry and Tomoyo too.
"This can't be", Tomoyo said in a soft voice. Her mom hugged her.
"I'm sorry dear. Pray that God will make you live for many years. Some people can't survive this sickness", the doctor added. Tomoyo didn't notice her tears were falling. Not only her who is crying but also her mom.
"Oh Tomoyo...I can't believe this!" Sonomi said.
"Me neither mother. But we've got nothing to do but pray", Tomoyo said as she wiped her tears.
That next day Tomoyo doesn't feel she wanted to talk nor go to school. Even all of her classmates know that she had a sickness. 'But I've got to be strong. For me, for mom, to my friends and especially Eriol'. She blushed. Why all of a sudden she had thought about him anyway? She shook her head and try to smile. But she can't...her heart knows she can't smile.
"Hey Tomoyo cheer up!" Sakura said as she sat right next to her.
"Don't worry Sakura. The doctor gave me some medicine. But if it will get worst I-"
"Tomoyo think positive! You'll survive this! I know you will!" Syaoran said, trying to cheer her also.
"Thanks", Tomoyo said. She was touched on her friends words. Then Eriol went to them bringing a guitar.
"To cheer Tomoyo up we dedicate this to you. Go ahead Sakura!" Eriol said as he start to play the guitar and Sakura start to sing the song.
When the daylight's gone
And you're on your own
And you need a friend
Just to be around
I will comfort you
I will take your hand
I will pull you through
You know I'd understand
And you know that
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Through the haste and hurry
I'll be at your side
If you feel like you're alone
And you have no where to turn
I'll be at your side
Sakura stop singing the song as Tomoyo wiped her tears. She didn't know she was crying. She was really touched on what her friends. Do to her. A song that will cheer her up. And for this she wanted to believe that soon she'll be okay. "Sorry guys if I'm too emotional", Tomoyo apologized.
"That's okay tomoyo. We understand", Sakura said. Eriol continue playing the guitar as Tomoyo looked at him. He was so calm and it seems he doesn't have a problem at all. But deep behind those blue eyes he is worried about her. He caught her staring at him as he smiled. She smiled back, cheeks flushed.
"It was a nice song that you three dedicated to me", Tomoyo began, sitting on the bench under the cherry blossom tree. Sakura and Syaoran were left inside the classroom, talking to their friend. And Tomoyo and Eriol get to spend some time with each other.
"Hey that was nothing. Just believe Tomoyo-san God has a way", Eriol said, reaching over her hand and clasped it in his hands. "If only there's some kind of magic that will make it vanish". Tomoyo shook her head.
"Its reality Eriol not a fantasy. You can't take this sickness away", she said as she smiled.
"I'm worried about you", he added. Tomoyo blinked her eyes.
"Oh?" he looked away blushingly, but he's still holding her hand.
"Yes I'm worried about you".
For Tomoyo it was a weird feeling on how he said he was worried about her. 'Very weird indeed', Tomoyo thought as she lies down on her bed. And at the other side Eriol sneezed.
"Somebody is talking about you master". Nakuru began. Eriol just smiled.
"Who would be talking?" Eriol said to her. Then he grew serious. "You know what I just can't tell her how I feel".
"Courage master courage. Maybe now is the time to tell her", Nakuru began.
"What if she's moving on because she already knows Sakura doesn't feel the same way?"
"Yuck! Girl to girl and boy to boy relationships", Spinel interfered.
"Suppi be quiet!"
"Who you calling 'Suppi'? I don't want to be called 'Suppi'! Understand Ruby Moon?!"
"That's Nakuru Akizuki for you information coz' I'm in my human form!" the guardian shot back. Eriol shook his head in dismay. There they go again. His guardians are fighting again.
'I wish I can help Tomoyo', Eriol thought looking outside of the window. 'I want her to live'.
Tomoyo was getting ready to go to school that next day. Unexpectedly she can't stop herself from coughing. She had a hard time as she fell on the floor. Until she was unconscious. Her mom was beginning to get angry at her as she went to her only to find her daughter lying down on the floor as stains of blood marked the floor. "OH MY GOD!" Sonomi screamed. "CALL AN AMBULANCE QUICKLY!" she shouted downstairs as the maids do what their master told them. Sonomi helped her daughter to get up. And after that bring her to the hospital.
Sakura, Syaoran and Eriol we're shock as what Kaho told them. Sonomi called their school and spoke to Kaho that Tomoyo is in the hospital and that her sickness is getting worst. And Sonomi added...the doctor said Tomoyo might not live longer. Her body can't take it...she feels weak every time she coughs. 'Darn it! She can't leave us!' Eriol thought. The three are now in the hospital to visit their close friend.
"TOMOYO!" Sakura shouted as she ran to her cousin and hugged her. The two boys followed as Syaoran closed the door.
"Tomoyo how are you feeling?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo smiled.
"I'll be fine", Tomoyo replied.
"Fine? If your fine dear cousin you wouldn't stay here!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo had to chuckle for that.
'Is it too late to tell my feelings for her? She even thought I LOVE Kaho which is not true! I ADMIRE her that's all', Eriol thought as he went to Tomoyo. "Hi!"
"Hi!" Tomoyo said with a sweet smile. He couldn't help himself but blush.
"Get well soon okay?" was all he can say. She nodded in reply. She doesn't feel like talking. Then Sonomi went in.
"Oh...I didn't know you three will be here. This is unexpected", Sonomi said.
"Where have you been Auntie?" Sakura asked.
"I was talking to one of the doctors. Just to check on how is Tomoyo doing", she replied.
"I'll be dead soon", Tomoyo said flatly.
"Honey don't say that", her mother warned.
"People die mother", she added. She didn't know that those words said struck Eriol deeply. She is so dense to realize that somebody cares for her and loves her deeply...ever since first year high.
'It's not the time to tell her', Eriol thought as he visited Tomoyo to the hospital that Saturday, bringing flowers. He was arguing with his alter ego.
'Its time to tell her damn it! Don't tell me you'll keep it a secret forever?! I mean what is she passed away? What are you going to do?'
'Shut up will you? She's going to live!'
'I just said what 'if'', his alter ego shot back. Finally he arrived at Tomoyo's room as he opened the door. But he was shock to see her crying. "Tomoyo what's wrong?" Tomoyo shook her head as she wiped her tears. She just can't believe that days from now she couldn't see her friends.
"Nothing Eriol-kun. I see you have visited me. And you bought me lovely flowers", Tomoyo said as Eriol put the flowers in the vase. After that he went to her.
"Yeah. I hope the flowers cheer you up a little", he said.
To be continued...
"She has a sickness Eriol...and it's tuberculosis", Kaho replied. The three gasped.
"Tomoyo you didn't even said anything that you have a sickness!" Syaoran nearly yelled. Sakura put her hand on his shoulder.
