Hi you guys. I went through all your reviews (which were practically all
the same by the way) and I've decided to clean up the whole speedy story-
line thing. I know that you all think that this is going too fast but I
have a plot unfolding here so trust me. Any way, I also just want to tell
you guys that you should expect me to update now once every week at the
least. This is due to the upcoming exams and my parents bugging me about
it, so just to let you know. Any way, on with the story!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura. *cries* Wish I did though.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura woke up with a start, but as soon as she did, she had a sinking feeling that she wasn't going to like this day at all. Then moments of last night came to her mind. Her kiss with Li - no, Syaoran. He had asked her to call him Syaoran! How sweet! Sakura started to close her eyes and review the events of the kiss . . . but something wasn't right. Sakura couldn't put her finger on it but it was nagging ferociously at her brain.
Then the door to her room opened slightly and Tomoyo peeked in.
"Hey Sakura!" She opened the door completely and skipped inside. "How're you feeling? Better I hope."
Sakura sat up in her bed. "Yeah, I'm fine. But Tomoyo, there's something I wanna ask you."
"Sure," replied Tomoyo as she sat on the side of Sakura's bed, "Ask away."
"Did anyone visit my room last night?" Sakura asked, "After you, that is."
"Nope. I don't believe so. When I came out, visiting hours were over and the nurses were very strict about that rule. They were pushing everyone out." Suddenly a vein appeared on Tomoyo's forehead. " I'm gonna get that nurse who pushed me out the doors."
Sakura went dot-eyed and sweat-dropped.
As if snapping out of a dream, Tomoyo was calm again. " Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason." Sakura felt a sinking feeling in her chest. So it was a dream. Syaoran didn't ask her to call him by his first name. He didn't kiss her either, and that was what broke her heart the most. He didn't even visit . . .
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked, concerned with Sakura's sudden silence.
Sakura didn't look Tomoyo in the eye. "Yes, I'm fine. Um . . . could you get me something from the cafeteria downstairs?"
Tomoyo didn't want to leave Sakura alone, but she sensed that Sakura also wanted a moment to herself. She wasn't sure of what had just happened, but she said, "Sure, I'll be right back." And hopped off the bed and went out the door and shut it.
Sakura slumped back down into her bed. She didn't blame Syaoran for not coming to visit her. 'After all,' she thought, 'He probably had other things to do. He is already paying for my hospital bill. Besides, he's my teacher. He wouldn't give me a second look. He is only paying the bill out of duty and respect and probably already thinks of me as a meddlesome child.'
A tear fell from Sakura's emerald green eyes.
'Why am I crying over him anyway? He's just my teacher and I hardly even know him.'
Sakura sniffed.
"But he's a good teacher . . . he may be strict, but he seems like he's kind of nice on the inside." She whispered.
Then Sakura went back to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tomoyo entered Sakura's room with a sandwich, pistachio pudding and a hot chocolate in her hands. "Sakura! I have -" Tomoyo stopped as soon as she looked inside. Sakura was sleeping, once again, in her bed.
Tomoyo put Sakura's food down on the bedside table. She didn't know what was wrong with Sakura but she felt that it was something very personal, and whatever Sakura was going through, Tomoyo was going to help her through it.
With a small nod, Tomoyo turned around and headed for the door. Instead she bumped into a wall.
"Owww . . . ." She muttered as she rubbed her head, "Baka wall. Should watch where I'm going next time . . ."
Tomoyo sidestepped the wall, tripped over her feet and fell flat on her face. "Owww! What's wrong with me today?" Tomoyo muttered angrily as she got up on her feet and rubbed her nose. "I thought the hospital was supposed to help people get better and here I am getting hurt!"
She quietly closed the door and grumbled all the way down the corridor, earning her strange looks from everyone who saw her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran has a headache. He had a long day at the hospital yesterday and ended up sleeping on a foldable chair/bed thing and it had proven to be uncomfortable. The Kinomoto girl's hospital bill was over-priced (¥500.00!) and he was arguing with the front desk the whole night. On top of that, he had an early parent-teacher interview with the girl's father and brother. The latter being someone who would only glare at him. After the interview, they both decided to go home and come back the next day with a change of clothing for the Kinomoto girl. She was supposed to be able to leave the hospital today.
Syaoran got up from his 'bed' and rubbed his eyes. He didn't have a change of clothes with him and decided against going all the way back home to get it. It was too long a way to go just for some clothes. He decided that he was going to see the Kinomoto girl, see if she was okay so that he could go back home once and for all and get ready for school, which, according to his watch, started in 5 hours. (A/N: Syaoran's so mean, ne?)
Syaoran got up from his seat and went to the washroom to shower and brush his teeth. (Free toothbrushes were included with his room and, to Syaoran's surprise, a change of clothes.)
When he came back out, he was dressed in a royal blue shirt with black pants. He fixed his amber eyes on the door and went out of the room. He headed down the hallway to Sakura's room, ignoring all the swooning nurses.
'What is it with women and swooning? Everywhere I go there's either one trying to get my sock or one feinting. If these doctors are so great, then they should invent a cure for I.W.B. - Infatuated Womanly Behavior.'
With that, Syaoran reached Sakura's room. Since the door was closed, he decided to knock. When he got no answer he slowly opened the door and walked in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura awoke with a knock on the door. She could feel the dried tear trails on her cheeks and frantically wiped them off.
'If the person at the door is Touya-kun, then he'll have a fit.' Thought Sakura.
Sakura then sat up in her bed and also tried to neaten her hair, but to no avail. Finally deciding to leave it, Sakura looked at the door and while it was being opened. She was ultimately surprised at who came in.
It was Syaoran.
She immediately felt tears come to her eyes but quickly blinked them away. So he cared a tiny bit. That was enough for Sakura to survive on for a little while.
Syaoran noticed the faint tear-trail marks down Sakura's and noticed that he felt a little tug at something in his chest.
A tiny, micro tug that he hardly felt.
"Hi. Just wanted to check up on you," He said "I also wanted to tell you that you are able to leave the hospital today."
He walked over to Sakura's bed and knelt down beside it.
Sakura felt a fresh batch of tears come to her eyes and, once again, quickly blinked then away. That was exactly the same spot Syaoran had knelt in her dream.
'Never mind that now.' She thought. 'He's just a teacher, he's just a teacher, he's just a teacher . . . .'
Sakura repeated the phrase in her head and looked at Syaoran. Suddenly her thoughts started to turn.
'He's just a teacher, he's just a cute teacher, he's a cute teacher, he's a cute teacher . . . .'
Sakura didn't notice this and kept looking at Syaoran's eyes. They were the brownest eyes she had ever seen . . . .
Syaoran started to get worried.
He had never in his whole life seen a woman act like how Sakura was acting right now, even with his four sisters. First she started crying, then she looked like she was having an inner battle, and now she looked like a confused child that had just zoned out of this world.
He waved his hand in front of her eyes and snapped a few times.
"Miss Kinomoto? Miss Kinomoto? Sakura? SAKURA!!!"
Sakura woke up from her daydream when she heard her name being called. Then she looked at Syaoran again, embarrassed.
With a blush on her cheeks she said, "Sorry, what did you say? I wasn't listening."
'Apparently not.' Thought Syaoran. He always got annoyed when someone he was talking to wasn't listening to him. Yet, oddly enough, he was amused with Sakura, not annoyed. "You're allowed to leave the hospital now. Your father and brother will bring your clothes for you."
"Oh. Thanks." Sakura blushed and looked down. Then realizing something Sakura looked back up at Syaoran. "You called me Sakura."
"What? Would you prefer me to call you Miss Kinomoto?"
"No, no!" Sakura said hastily. Syaoran calling her Sakura was the next best thing to her dream. "That's fine."
'Can I call you Syaoran?' Sakura was dying to ask that question, but she didn't, thinking it was inappropriate.
"Well then," Syaoran said, standing up. "I suppose I will see you at school then." He brushed imaginary lint off his pants.
"Yeah, I guess so. Sayanora then."
"Sayanora." He was opening the door and was about to step out.
"Oh, and Mr. Li?" Sakura asked.
"Yes?"
"Can I be late for school? Please?" Sakura gave him the cutest puppy-dog- eyes look she could give.
It was impossible for Syaoran to resist, but his work came before anything else, and his work included his students being on time to classes, whether or not they are in the hospital. (A/N: Ayahhh! Syaoran's so mean! MEANIE!!)
"No." Syaoran said curtly. "I will see you on time in class Sakura."
With that he closed the door.
Sakura sighed. 'No matter how kind Syaoran is, he is still very difficult. Oh well.' Sakura looked around her room for something to do.
It was then that Sakura noticed that Tomoyo had brought her the snack that she had requested. It was on a silver tray. There was a tuna sandwich with cucumbers inside, a mug of cooled down hot chocolate and some icky green stuff that looked like pistachio pudding.
'Ewww . . . .' Sakura thought as she looked at the bowl of green mess, 'Who would eat that? Disgusting!' Sakura shuddered. 'Is the sandwich even safe?' She prodded the sandwich and shrieked. She swore that she saw it move!
In an instant Touya came rushing into her room with a bag full of clothes. "What happened? I thought that I heard you shriek."
"The sandwich moved . . ." Sakura said in a tiny voice.
Then Touya laughed. His laugh was a deep laugh that sounded a bit evil to Sakura.
"First I thought I had a kaiiju for a sister, now I know that I have an insane kaiiju for a sister," Touya paused while he let himself laugh for a few more seconds and put the bag of clothes on the floor. "Just wait till I tell Yukito about this . . . ."
Sakura blushed. She still had a tiny crush on Yukito but she hardly thought about him anymore, but when she did, a face with amber eyes and chestnut brown hair flashed in his place.
"Arrrgggghhhh!! TOUYA! I am not a kaiiju and I am certainly not insane. Out! OUT!" She screamed as she grabbed a pillow.
Touya ducked out of the way of the pillow that was hurled at him and swiftly closed the door. He quickly ran down the hallway to his car that was parked in the parking lot. It was good to see Sakura back to her old self again.
What he didn't see was Eriol squashed on the wall where the door had squished him when it opened. Apparently, he was listening in on Sakura's conversation with Touya and Li.
'Owww . . . ' He thought. "This is going to be a very interesting year." He murmured as he peeled himself off the wall. 'Very interesting indeed.'
