Chapter 4

Thoughts- /////

Change POV- ~~~~~~~~~~

            Syaoran leaned over the sink of the boy's bathroom and splashed water on his face.  His stomach hurt like hell.  He groaned and sagged against the sink. /What the hell did I eat?/

            Syaoran stumbled out of the bathroom. He took a few well-measured steps before he crashed into someone, sending them both flying onto the tiled floor. 

            "Oops, sorry."

            Syaoran grimaced from his place on the floor.  He tried to look up.  His vision blurred on him.  A pair of arms encircled him and helped him off the floor. 

            "Hey, Syaoran!  Li Syaoran!"

            "Hmm?" He was a bit lightheaded now.  Someone was shaking him – he wished they would cut it out. 

            "Hey, you alright?  C'mon, no, don't-"

            Syaoran collapsed back onto the floor and blacked out.

            Takashi Yamazaki looked at the passed out Syaoran.

            /Oh boy/ thought Yamazaki.  /How am I gonna explain this? /  He put an arm around Syaoran and proceeded to drag him to the front office.

            Sakura sniffled.  "That no good, up to nothing idiot!"

            "Shh, it's okay.  I'm sure he had a reason for not getting you a present."  Tomoyo patted Sakura on the back soothingly. 

            Sakura blew her nose on a piece of tissue.  "I hate him," she announced suddenly. 

            "Nani?"

            "I, HATE, HIM!"

            Tomoyo grabbed some more tissues and placed them in Sakura's hands.  She kept her mouth shut, fearing that she might say something unwise and make the situation worse.

            "You know what?" Sakura said.

            "Hm?"

            "I wish he would get drop dead!" 

            Sakura took the tissues and blew her nose.  She ran the cold water, and splashed some on her face.  "That moron," Sakura sniffled.  "I'm never gonna forgive him.  I thought he cared."

            Tomoyo just handed her some more tissue. 

            Yamazaki stopped in front of the office.  The unconscious Syaoran slumped down beside him.  /Dang. /

            The secretary at the front desk looked up.  "Yes?"

            Yamazaki grinned good-naturedly.  He pointed to Syaoran, whom by now had fallen to the floor.  The secretary gasped and flew out of her seat, calling to the other teachers for help. Teachers came out.  Yamazaki looked at the crowd of teachers and the unconscious Syaoran.  /Why do these things always happen to me? /

            "Class, as you all know, today is the day we will be going skating."  Terada paused as the class erupted into cheers.  The students leapt from their seats and ran to get the equipment. 

Tomoyo noticed Yamazaki slip quietly into the classroom.  Chiharu ran up to him, chattering happily, and he smiled at her as if nothing was wrong, but Tomoyo could see something was bothering him.  She watched as Yamazaki gave Sakura a fleeting glance before heading over to Eriol.  They started to talk.  Tomoyo made her way towards the two boys.  As she got nearer, she could bits of their conversation.

"Syaoran…"

"Dangit!…hurt!"

Tomoyo began to get worried.  She glanced at Eriol.  He looked thoughtful.  Tomoyo joined him and asked, "What happened?"

Yamazaki looked a bit guilty.  "Well, you know, I was taking a bathroom break and I was walking down the long corridor to the men's washroom when I happened to glance over at some EXQUISITE artwork and I was browsing slowly.  I met my band teacher on the way, and we chatted about new music.  Then I remembered my task of going to the----

"YAMAZAKI!"

Yamazaki looked up to see a glaring Tomoyo and a mildly amused Eriol. 

            *sweatdrop*

"Okay.  So I went to the bathroom and crashed into Syaoran-kun.  He looked ill.  Really sick."  He nodded for emphasis. 

"And?" prompted Tomoyo.

"Then he passed out on me!"

"Pardon?"  Eriol looked surprised. 

"The secretary called the hospital and so now he's in the hospital."

Eriol and Tomoyo looked at each other.  "Who's going to tell Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.

Yamazaki looked away.  When he glanced back, he saw a Tomoyo with a sly look on her face and an Eriol with a look that would make the Chesire Cat from Alice in the Wonderland jealous.  Realization dawned on him. 

"Oh no.  Nope! Not in a million years!"

His pleas were unheard as he was pushed towards Sakura. 

"OI, DANGIT!  WHY ME????!!!!!"
