Chapter 6
xo SLAM! xo
"Where is he? Where's my Li-kun!" Mei Lin had stormed inside the quiet room in a hospital where Syaoran was being laid. Next to her were Sakura's friends and they, too look worried.
"Sakura! Are you alright?" Tomoyo screamed, tears in her eyes.
Sakura was in crutches but neverthless, she looked okay. She smiled as Tomoyo hugged her. "I'm fine real-"
Mei Lin slapped her across the face. Everyone gasped as Sakura fell down on the floor.
"YOU BITCH!" Tomoyo screamed and tried to punch her face.
"BACK OFF WHORE! I'm gonna kill that son-of-a-fuckin'-twithead!" Mei Lin pushed Tomoyo out of the way but before she could go near Sakura, Yamazaki, Naoko, Chiharu, Eriol, and Rika all blocked her path.
"Get out of the way before I all pound you in the ground!"Mei Lin growled.
"That's enough Mei Lin," Rika softly said.
"SHADDUP YOU MOTHER FUCKIN' BI-"
Chiharu had had enough. Before Mei Lin could say another word, she ran full speed at her and punched her squarely in the jaw.
"Talk to my friends like that, and you'll be going back to your place in a coffin," Chiharu growled.
Nobody bothered to help her get up.
Mei Lin was near to tears, as Eriol looked down at her. "You've been a pain in our ass since you got here you know...don't you just understand? Syaoran has someone else! Can't you just accept-"
"NO I CAN'T!"
Mei Lin screamed that so loud, a few people in some of the rooms heard her.
Everyone stared at her as she shakily got up to her feet.
"Don't you understand? I found him first! I missed him all my life! I never got a chance to say good-bye! He was the first guy I ever loved!" she pointed at Sakura as tears burst out of her eyes. "But that whore took him away from me! Away from my life!"
Sakura chuckled under her breath. Everyone turned to look at her.
"I took him away from you? heh...Mei Lin, you're too much!" Chiharu and Rika helped her stand up. "Didn't you hear what Syaoran had said to you earlier? He waited years for your reply and not once did you even try to find him...He's heart was breaking each passing day as he continued living in Hong Kong..."then she looked at her straight in the eye. "So he came here to try and find happiness..."
Everyone held out there breath as Sakura looked down, tears threatening to come out. Then she looked up and screamed "...AND WE FOUND EACH OTHER AND WE BOTH FOUND HAPPINESS FROM OUR BROKEN HEARTS! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" and from that, she collapsed from the heavy burden that was inside her. "I LOVED SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE HE CAME! BUT I LOST HIM AND WILL NEVER FORGET HOW HE DIED! BECAUSE-BECAUSE-IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY!"
Mei Lin backed off, looking shocked and apalled.
"GOD GAVE ME THE MOST HORRIBLE GIFT A CHILD COULD EVER GET! I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVER! I WANT IT ALL TO END! TO TAKE THE PAIN AWAY FROM ME!" she buried her face in her hands
They were all silent from the awful nightmare they thought was only that.
Sakura was silent for a minute, as she shuddered, hicupped and gasped.
"Sakura...?" Tomoyo whispered.
The auburn haired stopped, then wiped her face with her sleeve, then shakily stood up again. She looked up at Mei Lin, smiling, tear stained. "But then I found him... he gave me happiness..and he gave me a new life...that, Mei Lin is one thing you could never understand..."
Mei Lin looked at her with a blank face.
"Sakura...?"Tomoyo helped her to the chair, "Are you gonna be alright?"
Sakura smiled, "Uh-huh...For once in my life, I can't believe I let it all out...heh...I guess I'm not that strong as I thought I was..."
Yamazaki looked over at Sakura, then turned to Mei Lin, "Do you now understand Mei Lin? Do you now understand the feeling of having something or someone you lose? Why can't you just understand that?"
They all looked up as Mei Lin openned her mouth to say something.
"What a horrible liar you are Kinomoto..." she chuckled.
They all looked at the raven haired girl as she began to laugh even harder.
"You...are a horrible liar!" Mei Lin grabbed Sakura by the shoulders and started shaking her.
Everyone tried to pry her off, but Mei Lin grabbed on.
"I know how it feels! I know how it fuckin' feels and it hurts Sakura! It hurts!" This time it was her time to have tears in her eyes. "You think I don't understand? I do! I lost him for years! Do you think that I didn't bother to find him? I did! I fuckin' did! For ten agonizing years! I searched for him! But then...My stupid father had get in the way! He threatened to dispose of me if I continue on searching for him!"
Everyone just stared wide eyed as she broke off on the floor.
"I know how it feels! I know how it feels! Ten years! I wanted to find him for ten years!"
Mei Lin just cried in the floor as if the world would collapse in her shoulder. Suddenly someone handed her a hanky.
She looked up and saw Sakura smiling down at her. She placed a hand on the trembling girl and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
For a minute Mei Lin wanted to accept the small token but hatred boiled inside of her and she scathingly slapped Sakura's hand away. The white cloth sailed to the ground, next to Yamazaki, who stooped down to pick it up.
Everyone stared at her as Mei Lin started to stand up. She shuddered as she looked at Sakura, with one eye covered with her bangs.
Then she whisperd, "I don't need your sympathy..."
She turned around and walked towards the door.
"WAIT!" Sakura cried out.
Mei Lin stopped, and Sakura continued, "Mei Lin...Syoaran...he still loves you...please...we want to be your friend... Syaoran wants everything to turn back the way it was..."
Mei Lin stood there, silent as a ghost.
"Please...don't throw away that opportunity so...rashfully..."
They waited for her response, and then heard her giggle.
"Your not my mother...I murdered my mother..."
Everyone gasped as Mei Lin slammed the door shut, still laughing.
Everyone was silent for awhile, then Eriol looked at each of their faces. "She didn't mean that did she?"
"No...ofcourse not..." Sakura whispered.
Everyone murmured in agreement.

The gentle wind in my hair...
Your soft voice calling upon me...
I can't see you...
But I can hear you...
Feel you against my skin...
I long to touch you...
hold you...
feel your lips against mine...
Where are you?
I need an answer...
Please?
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
Don't leave...
I promise...
I'll never make you sad...
Sakura...
"...kura..."
"Sa...ra..."
Syaoran openned one bleary eye, before realizing something.
"SAKURA!"
xox BONK xox
"Kyaaah!"
"Oroooooo..."
Syraon groaned, and looked down to see Tomoyo on the ground hands on her head. "Tomoyo-chan?"
Tomoyo groaned and smiled weakly at Syaoran and then got up. "A little hard on the head, but man, your head is as hard as Sakura's."
Syaoran sweatdropped, then asked, "What're you doing here?" then he looked around. "What am I doing here?"
"Oh...you got hit by a very huge...very heavy-"
"Okay, okay! I got the point," Syaoran snapped and then touched his head, which was patched up. "Where're the other guys?"
"We're taking turns...don't worry, Sakura's gonna be here this evening to feed you and she's planning on staying for the night."
Syaoran smiled but then grimaced in pain. Not only was his head boiling in pain, his arms and legs were aching.
"Just lie down there Brownie," Tomoyo smiled and forced him to rest his head on the pillow.
Syaoran stared at the ceiling and Tomoyo sensed his sadness.
She smiled at the boy and placed a hand on his shoulder, and whispered, "That was a brave thing you did...a guy who does that for his girlfriend will always be remembered deep in her heart. We're all proud of you Syao-Syao." She kissed him in the head and went to continue taking out Syaoran's clothes from the bag.
"Tomoyo..." Syaoran whispered.
"Hm?"
"Do you think... do you think Sakura still loves me?" he asked.
"Ofcourse! Syaroan, why would you ask such a question?"
"Mei Lin kissed me, and she hates-"
"NO SHE DOESN'T!"
Syaoran looked at her in surprise.
"Syaoran, there are always ups and downs on relationships... Sakura doesn't hate you... She loves you from the bottom of her heart! Syaoran..." the chestnut haired young man looked at her. "She will never leave your side even if you messed up...becaues that's what best friends are for!"
"Eriol's my bestfriend!"
Tomoyo sweatdropped. "We're missing the point here!"
Syaoran stared at her. Tomoyo then asked, "You do love her don't you?"
He smiled and placed a hand on his chest. "From the bottom of my heart..."
Tomoyo grinned and messed up his hair. "Then there's nothing to worry about!"
Syaoran looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I guess you're right!"
Tomoyo crossed her arms. "I'm always right."
Syaoran sweatdropped, and drawled, "Riiiiiiight..."
