And now, for this heartfelt story to being….-.-.-.- Chapter 37: Trying to Bring him back
"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."
.- Five days later -.
The five days went by bitterly for the entire Li household. It was late 11:49 pm and everybody was sound asleep… everybody except Sakura and Yang.
Ying was sleeping in her crib but Sakura was walking around with Yang in her arms, patting his back, trying everything to get him to fall asleep.
'Shit, I might have to take Yang to Shoaling again.' Sakura thought as her clock beeped midnight.
Sakura opened her bedroom door with a whimpering Yang in her arms. She walked to Shoaling's bedroom and quietly knocked. After a few minutes Shoaling opened the door, his eyes barely open from sleep.
"Yea sis?" He slurred.
"Yang… please?" Sakura begged.
Shoaling nodded as he straightened, his sleep evaporating at the sound of his nephew whimpering. Shoaling took Yang in his arms, cleared his throat and made it a tad bit deeper. Syaoran's voice was a little deeper than Shoaling's but if the brothers wanted, they could and would be able to imitate each other.
Shoaling patted Yang's back as he walked around his room. Sakura leaned up against his doorframe, trying to watch her brother-in-law working with her son.
"Son, it's me…" Shoaling said in a perfect imitation of Syaoran. Sakura smiled, imaging that it really was Syaoran. She shook her head, fighting the tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
A few minutes later Shoaling walked back to Sakura with a sleeping Taihen in his arms. He smiled as he handed him to her.
"If he wakes up… just bring him over alright sis?" He said as he kissed Taihen's forehead.
Sakura smiled. "Thanks Xiao Chen." He said to her bro-in-law.
"No big sis." He said before shutting his door. Sakura walked back to her bedroom. Eriol and Ryu had moved the cribs to the master bedroom where Sakura sleeps. In case something were to happen, and the twins woke up early morning, Sakura could access them easily.
Sakura placed Yang in his crib, tucked him in and fell into her bed. She groped the pillow beside her and sighed. 'Syaoran,' she thought before falling asleep.
Seconds turned to Minutes. Minutes turned to Hours. Hours turned to Days. Days turned to Weeks but Syaoran will wasn't awake yet.
Sakura was sitting with Syaoran in a twelve star hospital room. After major surgeries they transferred Syaoran to a private room on a private floor.
Taro and Kim had the twins while Sakura had some alone time with her husband.
She held his hand as she held back her tears.
"Syaoran, your 22nd birthday is in two days. Aren't you going to wake up?" She whispered.
No answer. Sakura saw the rise and fall of his chest and his pupils move behind his eyelids, but no response.
Sakura blinked back tears as she tightened her grip on Syaoran's hand.
"You're all better Syaoran. No internal bleeding and your broken bones are healed… so why are you getting up?" Sakura cried as the battle of fighting back tears was lost and she started shaking.
.- Else where -.
"You're all better Syaoran. No internal bleeding and your broken bones are healed… so why are you getting up?"
Syaoran was slouched up against a tree stump, listening to his wife. After the past, god only knows how long, of trying to communicate with his wife, he found it was hopeless.
'I'm stuck here.' He thought bitterly to himself as he threw a pebble at a deer. The deer suddenly grew fangs and a mane and transformed into a lion. It charged at Syaoran but flew right through him.
'I'm living in my own darkness now.' He thought angrily as he got up and kick the stump. The stump wiggle free and flew into the sun.
Syaoran frowned. "WHAT THE HELL? FLYING STUMPS? NOW THAT'S A NEW ONE!"
He growled as he punched another tree.
"SAKURA DAMMIT! SAKURA!"
.- Sakura -.
'Sakura,' a soft whisper escaped Syaoran's lips.
Sakura's eyes widened as she stared at her husband. "Syaoran? SYAORAN?" She screamed.
Hearing her screams, Ryu, Eriol and Touya rushed in.
"What happened?" Touya asked.
"He…he said my name." Sakura said as tears of happiness trailed down her cheeks.
Touya, Eriol and Ryu exchanged shocked glances as they all rushed to Syaoran's side.
"Syaoran, man say something!" Eriol struggled as he grabbed Syaoran's hand.
Syaoran remained unresponsive.
Sakura sank to her knees as Touya grabbed her around the shoulder. "Cheer up Imoto, him saying your name is a huge news."
Sakura dug her face into her brother's shoulder. "But Onii-chan, his twenty second birthday is in two days! It's been a month since our crash and he… what if he never?" Sakura coughed as she drenched her brother's shirt.
Touya led Sakura to a seat and patted her back. "Listen, he said your name. Give him time, a month more and he'll be up."
Sakura hiccupped and nodded. "I hope you're right." She murmured.
'So do I.' Touya added as an afterthought as he patted his sister's back.
Hours later, when visiting hours ended, Sakura sat in a deserted home with her twins, Taro, Tomoyo, Nadesiko and Touya.
Syaoran's birthday was the day after tomorrow and the guys have gone out to buy presents. Sakura breast fed the twins and lay them in their carrier. She sat on the sofa as they fell asleep. Taro and Touya were doing everything in their might to help Taihen fall asleep. Shoaling wasn't here, to bad, so Yang might cry out of his father any second.
Ying started fidgeting and Sakura went to get her.
"Ma," Ying gurgled as she dug her face into her mother's neck. Sakura smiled, a few days ago, Ying started saying Mama.
It's cute actually, Yang's first words were Dada and Ying's was Mama.
Sakura smiled as she stroked her daughters silky brown hair. "Mom's right here sweet." She said as she cradled her daughter in her arms.
"So what you get Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked.
Sakura smiled. "The twins finger painted, supervision compliments to Eriol, Takashi, Mika, Taro and Ryu, and I got a pocket watch, with one side that had a picture of me and the twins."
Nadesiko smiled. "That's cute!"
"What about you guys?"
Nadesiko grinned. "A Rolex wristwatch. I guess Syaoran's going to do some hard thinking, a pocket watch or a Rolex watch."
Touya laughed. "No, Taro and I though it'd be funny to get him boxers."
Taro laughed. "I got Syaoran a Homer Simpson pair of boxers."
Touya grinned. "I got the gaki a pair of Peter Griffin pair of boxers."
Tomoyo raised a brow. "The Simpson's and Family Guy?"
"You boys watch to much American Satellite." Nadesiko shook her head.
"What?" Touya and Taro shared identical grins.
Sakura laughed. "He just might burn them."
Tomoyo giggled. "True. Oh, I got him a training outfit."
"Let me think, green with the Ying Yang insignia on it." Sakura said smiling.
"How'd you guess?" Tomoyo pouted.
"Mei Lin told me." Sakura giggled.
"Curse her…" Tomoyo laughed.
Nadesiko shook her head. "You kids. Now tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"Mama, that's why we have a cook." Sakura told her mother.
"Yes I know, but after arriving at Hong Kong, I've not cooked yet."
Sakura hugged her mother. "Alright mama, tell Kei, our new cook, to let you cook, orders from the Queen."
Nadesiko laughed as she hugged her daughter. "I love you my Cherry Blossom."
Sakura hugged her mother back. "I love you too mama."
Nadesiko got up and walked to the kitchen. Touya had an anime sweat drop on his head. "Does mom like cooking, or does she like cooking?"
Sakura giggled. "I think she likes cooking."
The gang chuckled. "So what is everybody buying?" Taro asked.
"I think Rayns Fyre was going to get Syaoran a groupie t-shirt." Tomoyo said thoughtfully.
Taro and Touya laughed.
"Mei Lin was going to get him an expensive new cell phone." Sakura said.
"Chiharu, Rika and Naoko were going to do a 5SD CD remix." Tomoyo said.
"Uh, Taro, your girlfriend, Maya was going to get him a cologne set." Sakura smiled.
"Shoaling and Yam were going to get him a pair of bra's… I think that's what Rika told me." Tomoyo said frowning.
"Bras?" Taro coughed.
Sakura laughed. "You know Yam and Xiao Chen. As for Yelan and Xenon, I think they were getting him a sword." Tomoyo said.
Touya nodded as he took his niece from his sister. "You guys have great taste."
Sakura smiled. "Obviously."
"I wasn't talking about you." Touya teased.
Sakura pouted. "Idiot."
"Kaijuu."
"Baka!"
"Gaki."
"Bakayaro!" Sakura glared at him.
"You just said that." Touya chuckled.
"Fart face."
"Booger breather."
"Poopy man!"
"Boogie Woman."
"Ass picker."
"Donkey fucker."
"Gerbil eater!"
"Rat fryer."
"Paper licker."
"Ass cracker."
"Boob sucker."
"Smelly slut."
"What the hell? Can you get any lamer?" Sakura laughed.
Touya glared at her. "Well we basically went to every and any possible curse."
Sakura laughed. "I guess."
The day went by. The other came back with their gifts and Nadesiko and the cook Kei cooked up a gourmet meal. Everybody dined and finally went to bed.
Sakura decided to get Shoaling to put Yang to bed so nobody wakes up at midnight. That plan worked beautifully…
And today is Syaoran's birthday.
Sakura got up, took a shower, showered the twins and walked downstairs at 1pm.
"Ready?" She said to the group of over twenty people.
They nodded as they all got into the limo's and rode to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, only four people can go in at once. Sakura, Taro, Tomoyo and Touya went in first, along with the twins. They set their gifts on the side table and said a short happy birthday to Syaoran.
.- Else where -.
"Happy birthday Syaoran."
"Happy returns of the day my son."
"Yo, you're twenty two Xiao Lang!"
"You're old! HAH!"
"Happy birthday man."
"What's up Syaoran? Happy birthday bro!"
"Hope you like the boxers. Haha!"
Syaoran kept on hearing well wishes from his friends and family.
'So I guess it's July 13th today?' He thought to himself as he tried to picture his family.
'Which means I've been like this for nearly a two months now.'
Syaoran kicked a tree and splashed a small pond. "This is hell. I swear being in hell would be better than this." He growled.
.- Real world -.
The presents were all placed on Syaoran's bedside and everybody had five minutes with him. Finally it was Sakura and the twins.
"Hey Syaoran!" Sakura smiled, feeling a lot better now that everybody was acting like nothing happened to Syaoran.
"Dada!" Yang said as he placed a soft hand on Syaoran's cheek.
"Da-da?" Ying strained out, shrieking with happiness.
Sakura giggled. "Yes guys, it's dada!"
"Nammy Obla?" They said.
Sakura laughed hard. "Yes, it's daddy's happy birthday."
The twins looked at each other then grinned, before placing a wet kiss on their fathers cheek.
"NAMMY OBLA!" They shrieked as they hit Syaoran on the chest.
Sakura winced as she picked up her kids. "Careful now."
They looked at their mother as if they understood.
"Dad's 22 today!" Sakura told her twins. The twins squirmed and Sakura placed them beside him.
They touched his cheek and looked at his pupils move behind his eyelids. Ying got scared and almost started crying. Sakura picked her up and cooed her as she watched her son. He was brave, 'A trait from his father.' Sakura thought. Yang watched his father's moving eyes, and the occasional fluttering.
'Taihen, Taiyou.' Syaoran whispered.
Sakura's eyes widened. "Oh god."
Syaoran blanked back into unresponsive state.
.- Else where -.
"TAIHEN! TAIYOU!" He screamed with all his might.
He fell to his knees and pounded the ground.
'God, get me out of here…'
Alright, this chapter went slowly but the next chapter… well it's… getting closer to Syaoran's awakening date…
BTW, I'm going to jump 6 months ahead in the next chapters, so that's just a heads up!
Stay tuned!
