Camping

Chapter 4: Are you hurt?
Author's note: Hey, candy44, thanks for the review! Well, maybe… I can say… the pairings are probably what you think it is. Syaoran/Sakura, and Tomoyo/ Eriol, I guess… but really, in my story, there aren't really pairings. . Alright, let's begin…
Eriol suddenly looked up. "Sakura," he whispered. "Oh no."
"What?" said Syaoran. He was up in an instant.
"Yes, Eriol, what is it?" asked Tomoyo, looking worried.
"Hurry," said Eriol calmly, and he began running up the trail. (Can you imagine Eriol running? Lol) Syaoran and Tomoyo were running after him.
Let's see what happens to Sakura, shall we?
Sakura's wings disappeared. She fell. The wind blew against her face, and she opened her eyes. "Am I falling?" she thought to herself. "I m-must…" she said weakly, taking out The Fly card. "F-f-f-l-l…" she tried to utter the last y, but she was too weak. Then, she gathered up all her strength, and yelled, "Fly!" Wings sprouted from her back again, and she tried to fly up, but she started zigzagging around. Alas, she was too weak. She used up all her energy. So, she went back down.
Her wings didn't disappear this time. It was just sort of tucked in behind her back. "Someone save me," she thought. But she fell on the rocks and mud with a loud thump and crash. Then she fainted.
Meanwhile…
Eriol stopped at the edge of the cliff, and peered down, squinting. Syaoran and Tomoyo ran up beside her.
"Oh my gosh," said Tomoyo, turning pale.
"We gotta save Sakura!" yelled Syaoran, "NOW!"
"But how will we get down?" asked Tomoyo.
"Er…" said Syaoran. "We can… climb down!"
"Fine by me," said Eriol, smiling. "Don't worry, miss, I will help you," he added when he saw Tomoyo.
Syaoran looked down. A faint colored dot with a huge white mass over it was sure to be Sakura.
After a while of climbing down cautiously (it took a while because Tomoyo was scared), they arrived at the bottom. Syaoran was the first to hurry over.
"Sakura!" he cried, kneeling down beside her. "Sakura, wake up! Please."
Sakura didn't move. The wings on her back looked broken. Yet Sakura was even worse than broken. She was bleeding on her arms and legs. Her face had blurry red scars over them. Her brown hair was covered with shining red. Her eyes were closed and her face was scrunched up in pain. Her breaths were fast and steady.
"Oh, Sakura," cried Tomoyo, running over to her, and bending over, "Why did you run away from us? You needn't fly all the way down here. I thought that you would only…" her voice broke off into soft sobs. Eriol walked over, inspected her, and looked around.
"Nakuru, Touya, and Yukito are coming," he announced quietly, smiling a bit.
Touya and Yukito opened their eyes wide, so wide that they were as big as saucers.
"What in the world?..." gasped Touya. He looked hard at Syaoran. "What kind of brat were you this time? Picking on Sakura like that until she ran away. Look at her!"
Syaoran's temper was rising. "I did NOT pick on her!" he yelled.
"We must bring her back to camp," said Yukito hurriedly. "Quick, Touya."
A few minutes later, Touya put a red-stained Sakura onto her bed. Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko were there now, bending over her, and they all looked worried. Kero was there, too, because he had flown another way, quicker, back to the cabin. He said beside the pillow and tried his best to look like a stuffed animal.
"What happened?" asked Naoko, clutching her book tight.
"Well, Sakura must've tripped and fell off the cliff that was near the lake," explained Yukito.
Tomoyo walked over with a doctor close behind. She examined her for a few seconds, cleared her throat, and announced in a pleased voice, "She only has a few wounds, nothing serious. I just need to put band aids on her arms and legs, and she won't bleed that much. Just a few days of rest and she's good. She'll wake up after one hour or so."
"Thank you," said Tomoyo, as the doctor put band aids on Sakura. She got up, smiled at everyone, and left the cabin.
Sakura woke up, but she kept her eyes shut. She felt a little less painless. She heard someone whispering, and her eyes flew open. She tried to turn her head, but it hurt. She saw that she was covered in band aids. Tomoyo was sitting on a chair beside her bed, and Syaoran was on the other side. Except for Kero and Eriol, everyone else was gone.
Tomoyo saw Sakura's eyes open and she sighed with relief, and smiled.
"What time is it?" asked Sakura, her voice raspy and dry.
"9:00 pm," said Tomoyo. "But it doesn't matter; at least you're better now."
She turned her head in difficulty, wincing as she did so. "Syaoran," she said.
"Yes?" asked Syaoran, his head hung down.
"Sorry."
Everyone gasped. "You shouldn't say sorry, Sakura," said Syaoran, looking up, "after all, you almost died." He shuddered.
"Yes, but I'm sorry I ran away," said Sakura. Syaoran smiled, and Sakura tried to smile back.
"Here, drink this," said Tomoyo, propping her pillow up and handing her a cup of water. Sakura drank it, and handed it back to Tomoyo. "Where did everyone go?" she asked.
"Well, Touya and Yukito are in their cabins. So is everybody else," replied Tomoyo, "Oh, they're coming." Kero froze, flew down and his under Sakura's bed. Syaoran kicked him.(purposly) Kero let out a yelp.
"Sakura! I'm glad you're alright," cried Yukito.
"You're too stupid," muttered Touya, "so stupid you fell off a cliff." He grinned.
"Touya," said Sakura in a threatening voice.
"Hey, Tomoyo," said Rika, "When we went to buy band aids for Sakura, I saw a sign. It said, "'Dance'. It is next week Sunday, at 6:00 to 9:00. We can go, right?"
"I suppose," muttered Tomoyo, "But what about Sakura?"
"I'll be able to," said Sakura with a faint grin and thumbs up. She couldn't wait! Tomoyo finally gave in, and said they'd go to the mall at the nearest town on Friday next week, and buy their things.
Sakura felt better, and she fell asleep, exhausted from her very first adventure at Camp Wood Land!
Baincajewel: Naoko, Chiharu, and Rika weren't really in this chapter, were they? Nor Kero. I'm sorry, I'll try and include them more in the next chapter! Please review for me! Thanks!
