"Kinomoto-san.." Syaoran began slowly. "I'm sorry as well. Its just..." I was looking at him now. He looked confused. "Its just that, for me...Well, Meilin, she just looks so..."

"Meilin looks helpless, covered in all those bed sheets, yet she's still extremely cold. She is just so.. sick. I would have never imagined Meilin, out of everyone, to be this sick. I don't even know how she got this sick. Well, for me...its very hard to express my feelings. I didn't know how to react, I---nothing like this has ever happened to me before, you know? That's, why I was scowling..I-d-didn't know how to react."

I stared at Syaoran unbelievingly. This was WAY more then I would ever expect from him. Silence again. Both of us were getting incredibly uncomfortable.

"I understand." I was walking away once more, but I turned around and softly said, "Li-san, you're a good person." For that single moment, his icy amber eyes soften into a more sincere look.

I gave him a small smile and finally, for the third time turning towards the door, Syaoran let me leave.

I went towards the kitchen and started to cook spaghetti with the help of the servants (I had no idea where the ingredients were. Plus, I had huge trouble with reading Chinese.).

"Um..excuse me?" I was addressing the maid nearby. "Is this tomato sauce?" I held up a redish brown bottle.

The maid didn't understand what I was saying, but she knew I wanted to know what that was. "Sauce Yui." She started drawing a picture in the air. I was lacking my imagination right then. "Its tomato sauce right?" I asked unsure. The maid sighed and nodded.
------------------------------

"Yes!" I screamed, I was finally finished with my spaghetti. All the servants turned around to stare at me. I ignored them. I placed the plate of spaghetti and water glass on a tray and started to go up. I couldn't help but want to get rid of a fishy smell around me. I didn't even touch fish. Why the hell did I smell fish? I knocked on Meilin's door.

"Come in." The voice was clear and cheerful. I slowly walked in, closing the door with my right foot.

"Hey Meilin, look what I made you." I smiled proudly, holding up my tray triumphantly. I placed the tray on the desk beside her. She leaned over and began eating. She, being selfish and self centered, didn't even comment on my cooking. She just kept eating and eating!

"Meilin, how is it?" I said as sweetly as I could. She was sick after all, probably not fully conscious.

"It's really good Sakura. But, I think you put fish in it? It's really light, but I can still taste it. That's the only weird part, but overall it's really delicious."

I thought for a moment. "Meilin, what's yui mean?" I asked her.

"Fish."

"GAHHH!!!"I yelled. "Meilin! I asked one of the servants if the bottle was tomato sauce. I wanted more tomato flavor since you didn't have enough tomatoes. She said it was Sauce Yui! Its fish sauce huh?! Oh my gosh! I'm tremendously sorry Meilin! That's why I smell like fish!"

Meilin burst into fits of laugh. I was so embarrassed.

"Meilin!" I whined. I gave a playful punch at Meilin. She pretended to be hurt and pouted.

"I'm sick remember?" Meilin reminded a little serious.

"Oh, right." I shouldn't be doing this, I keep forgetting that she is sick.

"I'm kidding, it doesn't hurt."

Excuse me but if she wasn't sick , I'll kill her. I have rules against killing ill people. Thats when I noticed something. I wonder why she wasn't as pale and ill as before...

"Wow, Meilin, you look 10 times better. Are you still sick?" I was studying her hard.

"..Yahh!" She said, almost sounding afraid. Afraid of what? I thought.

"I am sick!" She gave a low cough. It sounded real enough. She better not be pretending to be sick..

"Meilin, why are you pretending?" I asked.

"How'd you know?!" She blurred out.

"I didn't, I just asked you cause I was suspicious. You answered my question."

She looked at me disbelievingly. "I can't believe you." She said finally. I laughed. This was way too typical.

"You really had me fooled. I was trembling, did you see me?" I laughed a bit. I was still slightly angry.

"Ya, I wanted to giggle so badly but I had to keep my act on." Meilin said grinning.

"How did you get to look so ill?" I asked her, curiously. Forgtting my anger. I guess I'm those people who don't need anger management.

"I ate a lot of random pills from the pharmacy. I bought the strongest one and in the morning, I looked perfect. I mean, perfect as in perfectly sick looking. All pale and stuff."

"Isn't that bad for you?"

"What?"

"Taking pills you don't need.." I said matter-of-factly.

"Are you serious?!?!" Meilin shouted. I was really getting to her. Ha! That's for worrying me so much.

"Why did you pretend to be sick anyways?" I asked her.

"Well, I wanted to get you and Syaoran together. I thought you guys look... kawaii [cute]."

I was trying to develop this new idea in my brain. Nope, its not working.

"Tomoyo is gone to New York, and there is only you and Syaoran. Evidently, you guys will talk at least a bit, and I was going to stay sick until you two were close enough."

===================================later on====================

When I was walking home, when I bumped into someone.

"Eriol!" I said brightly. "Hey Sakura." Eriol gave me a warm smile. "Were you coming from Syaoran's house?" "Ya." I said. "I guess you heard." "Yeah, I tried visiting her but she kept insisting that she only wanted you and Syaoran to visit her." Eriol said, clearly mystified. "Really?" I was only half listening. I was way too busy deciding if I should hug him or not. He was extremely close to me, and the temptation was irresistible. He is the one who saved me from turning into a mash potato on the road. I didn't even thank him yet.

Before I knew it, I went on my tip toes (he was way taller then me), and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you." I said shyly. I blushed deeply and began running to my house. He didn't call for me. Good. Cause I'm officially never going outside anymore after what I just did.
