And now, for this heartfelt story to being….-.-.-.- Chapter 36: My own Darkness
"They were drunk teenagers. They were found another 50 miles up, in a ditch. They were arrested." Naoko said.
"That's sad." Sakura muttered as she kissed her babies' heads.
"Visiting time is over. All visitors please leave immediately. Exception of those with special cards."
Mei Lin pouted. "Why does Taro and Tomoyo have them?"
"Because they love me more." Sakura grinned. The girls laughed as they hugged Sakura. They took the twins, not before they put wet kisses on Sakura's cheek.
Sakura lay down and shut her eyes.
'Is this what my life has become? Otou-san… I wanna thank you… for keeping Syaoran and I safe.' Sakura thought as she fell into a light, and dreamless sleep.
It's been two weeks since Sakura's bandages were taken off and well; her vision is 80 percent back. She can see figures that are close to her but things that are far away, such as her desk table, gets a little blurry.
"Mrs. Li, your vision will return a hundred percent in a few more days." Said the doctor.
"I hope. Doc how's Syaoran?" Sakura asked.
The doctor sighed. "Nothing new yet Mrs. Li. Your husband is in responsive state but no signs of his awakening yet."
Sakura groaned. "Kaho Mizuki told me that Syaoran might wake up in a month or something."
The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry Mrs. Li. It's highly unlikely that Mr. Li wakes up in a month. He has major wounds, internal bleeding, gashes, broken basically everything. His state in the coma is a way for him to heal, but the time it takes depends on how big the mental wound is. He risked his life to save you, and I think his mental wound will take a long time to heal…"
"What do you mean mental wound Doctor?" Sakura asked.
"I mean, his mind. He believes that you died and he doesn't want to live with that so he doesn't want to wake up."
Sakura's eyes widened. "Can I see him?"
The doctor shook his head. "No Mrs. Li, not until you get your entire vision back."
Sakura scowled as she lay down. The doctor smiled before shutting the lights and leaving.
'Syaoran… you have to wake up… I have to tell you… I Love You.' Sakura thought before falling asleep.
.- Else where -.
Running in the darkness… and getting nowhere.
"SAKURA!" came his voice… echoing off the walls of black.
"SAKURA! ERIOL! MEI LIN!" He screamed again, cupping his hands in front of his face to project his voice further.
"MOM! DAD!" He yelled again, now starting to pant…
'Where the fuck am I?' he thought as he sat on the black floor.
'Taihen, Taiyou.' He thought of his children.
Syaoran was trapped in his own darkness.
"CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?" He roared again, projecting his voice.
"SAKURA! MOM! DAD! ERIOL! MEI LIN! TOUYA DAMMIT!"
Nobody. The only thing responding to his roars were his echoes, bouncing, colliding back into him.
Syaoran screamed. Suddenly he felt hot liquid on his right hand. He glanced at his right hand to find blood pouring out of a long scar.
"What the hell?" He muttered. Then from his left thigh blood poured out.
Syaoran started to feel dizzy as he fell to the ground, unable to move.
"Somebody… help." He scathed out before closing his eyes to unconsciousness.
.- Sakura -.
Sakura jolted awake. Something… someone was calling her… calling her to save him.
'Syaoran!' her mind shrieked as she tried to get out of bed. But wires and tubing connected to her body prevented her from doing so.
"Dammit! My husband's dying and all you fuckers can do is tie me up!" She roared as she climbed back into bed.
'Syaoran.' She thought as she fell asleep again.
.- 3 days later -.
Sakura's vision was back. 100 percent of her vision was back. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times before the world of colours and unblurryness came into her line of vision.
The first thing she saw were her children.
"Ying! Yang!" She squealed as she took her children from her mother's arms.
"Gumba…" Ying gurgled out as she reached for her mother's face.
Sakura snuggled her kids tightly in her chest. "Oh god I'm so glad I can see you two again!"
Nadesiko, Touya, Tomoyo, Taro, Yelan and Xenon were all in the hospital room with Sakura.
"Oh thank god Syaoran and I survived." Sakura whispered as her son reached and tugged on a lock of her hair. Sakura gave a sad smile.
"Thank the lords." Nadesiko sobbed out as she hugged her daughter.
"Mama, how's Syaoran's status?" Sakura asked as she looked at her mother.
Nadesiko shook her head. Sakura bit back tears as she turned to Yelan. Yelan hid her face in Xenon's shoulder.
Sakura's tear fell onto Yang's forehead who looked at his mother in curiosity. "Still in a coma?" Sakura chocked.
Touya hugged his sister while Tomoyo gave a tight. "Yep."
"Can I see him?" Sakura asked as she handed her twins to Tomoyo.
"When your dispatched sis." Taro said quietly.
Sakura growled. "When I get my vision back, when I get out of the damn hospital, when I feel better, fuck this! I wanna see my husband, is that too much to ask for?"
Yelan chocked on her tears. "Sakura, sweetheart, I promise you as soon as you're let out of the hospital, and get changed, you can see Syaoran."
The tears started falling now. "It's been a month! His birthday is in two weeks, he has to get up… he just… has to." Sakura cried in her mother's shoulder.
"Sakura." Nadesiko said soothingly as she let her daughter cry in her shoulder. Xenon, Touya, Taro and Tomoyo left, leaving Yelan and Nadesiko to all talk for a little while.
Touya and Taro held Ying and Yang while Tomoyo carried the baby carriers.
Sakura sat on the bed while Yelan sat on her right and Nadesiko on her left.
"Sakura?" Yelan said as she rubbed Sakura's back.
"Why? Why did that bastard have to go unfastening his belt? Why dammit!" Sakura cursed as she slammed her hand down on the bed.
"He… he did it to keep you alive Sakura." Yelan said in barely a whisper.
"So? I could have done the exact same thing! In fact I should have, at least he wouldn't be in the coma!"
"Then you would be, or worse dead Sakura! How do you think Xiao Lang would feel?" Yelan said angrily.
Sakura sighed as she dug her face in her hands. "I just can't… he… he said he loved me… his last words before…" Sakura's shoulders started shaking as her hands became soaking wet.
Sakura was crying more then she's ever done in her entire life.
"A month… and no sign of recovery?" She said.
"No." Nadesiko whispered as her and Yelan hugged Sakura tightly.
And for five minutes or so, Sakura cried in both her mother's arms.
.- Else where -.
Syaoran recovered from unconsciousness but when he woke up, his black land turned into a deep and dreary forest.
"What?" Syaoran gasped. He looked at his arm and his thigh and the bleeding stopped. In fact, there was no symbol that he ever did bleed there.
Syaoran ventured into the forest and every so often turned around because he thought somebody was following him.
"Hello?" Syaoran called, cupping his hands in front of his mouth.
"Is anybody out here?"
A cry was heard from far away… Sakuras cry.
Syaoran ran as fast as he can, his legs pumping, the adrenaline was boosting.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran screamed.
"SYAORAN! HELP!"
Syaoran then found Sakura… bloody… and hanging limp from a tree branch.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran roared as he climbed the tree. He reached Sakura and just as he touched her, her body evaporated.
"NO!" He screamed but then the scenery dissolved, bringing him back to his dark reality that he was in before.
"Fuck this! WHERE AM I?"
.- Sakura -.
Sakura was let out of the hospital three days after her vision came back. It was July 2nd today and Sakura was let out. Tomoyo brought her jeans and a loose t-shirt… Syaoran's t-shirt.
Sakura wore her jeans. They were loose on her hips. 'Must be the lost of solid food.' She thought as she slipped into Syaoran's navy blue silk t-shirt. She put on her Nike runners and tied her hair back.
Her ankle was all better and her arm too. She walked out to find everybody standing there.
Fanran, Fuutie, Feimiel, Sheifa, Kiyoumi, Hitomi, Yam, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, Rika, Takashi, Shoaling, Mei Lin, Ryu, Touya, Taro, Kim, Mickey, Maya, Tomoyo, Ying, Yang, Yelan, Xenon and Nadesiko.
Sakura's eyes welled with tears and she hugged each and every one of them.
Fanran smiled. "Sakura, we'll all go to the limo's… you and the twins can visit Syaoran."
Sakura smiled thankfully as her cousin Taro helped her take the twins to Syaoran's room.
Just outside ward number A216, the Critical Condition floor, Taro handed the twins to Sakura.
"Can you support them?" Taro asked worriedly.
Sakura nodded. "Yea I can. Wait for me out here?"
Taro nodded. "Count on it."
Sakura took the twins inside the room. The room was dark, and stuffy. The curtains were drawn and behind it, was a silhouette.
Sakura had to stop her self from crying or else the twins will start bawling. Sakura walked to the opposite side of the room without opening the curtain that hid Syaoran. Sakura glared at the covers that covered the window. She snapped it open and opened the window, letting a nice breeze wash in.
'No wonder he isn't waking up. This hospital is a dump.' Sakura thought as she picked up the twins from the chairs she placed them on.
Sakura quietly walked into the curtain and found Syaoran, her beloved Syaoran, laying on the bed, pale, unresponsive and… almost dead.
"No." She chocked as she rushed forward, placing the twins on the far end of the bed. There were rails on either side of the bed so the twins won't fall.
"Syaoran?" Sakura said softly as she held up his hand. She let go and his hand fell instantly back to the bed.
"Oh dear god! Syaoran." She cried again. She saw his pupils move behind his eyelids, and she swore she say his eyes flutter before shutting again.
"Oh my god, you're in this state because of me." She said miserably.
.- Else where -.
"Oh my god, you're in this state because of me."
Syaoran's eyes widened. 'That's Sakura's voice!' he thought.
"SAKURA! SAKURA!" He cried out, but no response.
"Fuck this, I can hear you, but where are you!" He screamed banging the black floor with his bloody arm.
.- Sakura -.
"Ying, Yang… come meet your father." Sakura called out. The twins, as if knowing the condition of their father, crawled nervously towards him, not touching any part of his body.
Ying managed to sit on the bed beside his left ear and Yang was near his right ear.
"Say hi." Sakura whispered.
Ying placed a pudgy arm on Syaoran's cheek. Yang bent down and placed a slobbery kiss on Syaoran's cheek.
Sakura smiled as she removed the drool from Syaoran's cheek and Yang's mouth.
"You should thank daddy. That's why mommy's alive today."
Yang turned from his mother to his father. He opened his mouth and made a gurgling sound.
Sakura blinked back the tears. She opened her eyes and saw Yang leaning over his father.
"Dada?" Yang said slowly.
Sakura's eyes widened as she stared at her son. "What did you say darling?"
"DADA!" Yang shrieked as he tried hugging his father's face.
.- Else where -.
"DADA!"
Syaoran's eyes also widened. 'That sounds like… like one of the twins!' he thought quickly to himself.
'They can talk?'
"DADA! DADA!"
"THEY CAN TALK? WHERE THE HELL AM I? WHY CAN'T I SEE MY TWINS?" He cried out to the sky.
.- Real world -.
Sakura picked up Ying and Yang. She kissed both their cheeks before turning to Yang. "Dada'll be find sweetheart."
Ying took one last look at her father before digging her face in her mother's neck.
"DADA!" Yang cried out, reaching for his father. Sakura opened the door and Taro was still standing there.
"DADA! DADA!" Yang kept saying.
Taro was shocked. "He can talk?" He said taking Taihen from Sakura.
Sakura smiled. "He just learned how to say Dada."
"Must be some vibe he's getting from Syaoran. Come on big man, let's get you home to sleep." Taro said as he patted Taihen's back.
"DADA! DADA! DAAADAAA!" Yang cried as he fought his uncle to get to his father.
"Oh dear god, he misses Syaoran already." Sakura whispered.
Taro patted Yang's back. "Don't worry sport. You're uncles will be sub daddies for you until the real deal wakes up!"
Yang pouted as he said, Dada, one more time before finally shutting up.
Sakura looked back and stared at Syaoran's door.
'Please Syaoran, please wake up…'
.- Else where -.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran screamed, his emotions finally kicking in. Tears formed in his eyes as he sunk to the floor, punching it.
"Dammit." He said vigorously rubbing his eyes.
"Dammit it all!"
.- Next Day -.
Sakura returned to the hospital alone the very next day.
She was told that even if you're unconscious or in a coma, talking to the person really helps because they can still hear you.
Sakura got into Syaoran's ward and shut the door. She took a seat beside him and started talking, nonsense and sense alike.
"Did you hear Taihen call for you yesterday?" Sakura asked as she stroked Syaoran's wrist.
Both of Syaoran's arms healed and his leg was being healed up. His ribs were okay and the internal bleeding stopped.
"Poor kid, he cried for you all night. When it was very, very dark, Shoaling had to come and pretend to be you. Taihen didn't see Shoaling but his voice his exactly like yours so Taihen assumed Shoaling was you and finally fell asleep."
Sakura tried with her every will power to keep from crying.
"Syaoran, I love you! Please you have to wake up!"
.- Else where -.
"Syaoran, I love you! Please you have to wake up!"
Syaoran searched around. He was in his house now, running through, looking for his wife and children, but he can't seem to find them. He can hear Sakura's voice but where is she?
"Where are you? Where am I? When the fuck am I getting out of here?" he roared.
.- Sakura -.
"I wrote a song last night for you, I'll sing it to you." Sakura whispered as she got a piece of paper out.
She cleared her throat and started humming the tune. Then she started singing.
Kazesasou kokage ni utsubusete naiteru
Mi mo shiranu watashi wo watashi ga miteita
Yuku hito no shirabe wo kanaderu GITAARA
Konu hito no nageki ni hoshi ha ochite
Sakura had tears in her eyes by the end of the first part. She swore she saw Syaoran open his eyes but maybe she just had her hopes risen.
'Dammit! Do I seriously think a song will wake him up?' Sakura thought as she held his hand tight in hers.
Yukanaide, donna ni sakende mo
ORENJI no hanabira shizuka ni yureru dake
Yawarakana hitai ni nokosareta
Te no hira no kioku haruka
Tokoshie no sayonara tsuma hiku
Syaoran was listening to his song… deep…
He was now in a white room, with his wife… Sakura in a wedding dress at an alter.
'I'm… am I thinking of the time I got married to her?' Syaoran thought to himself as he listened to Sakura's voice drift into his mind.
Yasashii te ni sugaru kodomo no kokoro wo
Moesakaru kuruma ha furiharai susumu
Yuku hito no nageki wo kanadete GITAARA
Mune no ito hageshiku kakinarashite
Sakura smiled as she remembered the stage show she had months ago. 'That's so faraway compared to today.' She thought as she sung quietly with all her might.
'Syaoran…' she thought.
Aa kanashimi ni somaranai shirosa de
ORENJI no hanabira yureteta natsu no kage ni
Yawarakana hitai wo nakushite mo
Akaku someta suna haruka koete yuku
Sayonara no RIZUMU
"YING FA!" Syaoran roared as the wedding hall dissolved.
"Oh crud this! I've been in this place forever! When am I getting out? Quit playing around with my head God! I've had enough!"
Omoide wo yakitsukushite susumu daichi ni
Natsukashiku me fuite yuku mono ga aru no
Sakura sighed, as it was a slight interlude. "Syaoran." She whispered.
Akatsuki no kuruma wo miokutte
ORENJI no hanabira yureteru ima mo dokoka
Itsuka mita yasurakana yoake wo
Mou ichido te ni suru made
Kesanaide tomoshibi
Kuruma ha mawaru yo
The song ended and Sakura kissed Syaoran's forehead.
"I love you! Please get up soon." And she left, since visiting hours were done and she needed to feed her kids.
.- Else where -.
"I love you! Please get up soon."
"I love you too… my Sakura." Syaoran whispered as he leaned up against a wall. He was currently seeing himself in his own house, in his own bedroom. Except the walls were slashed with blood.
"I love you too."
That was an entirely sad chapter! Yes, It's been a month and Syaoran still isn't awake! Two weeks till his 22nd birthday… and Yang started talking.
Hey! I started talking when I was five months old so poopy! Hehehe! Anyways, this story is finally getting somewhere, and Hiro, yes Hiro will be making a show up in around 4 more chapters!
Stay tuned!
Lub, Sakura
BTW I don't own the song. It's from Gundam Seed and I really liked the lyrics so I just HAD to add the song! Gundam Seed is a great Anime with totally cool songs!
