Enjoy everybody!
Tomoyo sighed; she was standing once again on the other side of the closed door in the hallway of the hideout, just waiting for Sakura to finally speak. She's been waiting there everyday for about a week now, "Sakura, come on now; you've got to come out sooner or later."
As always, nothing came to response and Tomoyo sighed and walked down the hall; following down the hard black steps of the stairs.
"Well? She coming out yet?" Yuu-Hi asked for the millionth time; his eyes following the depressed Tomoyo as she took the final step of the stairs.
"No shit. She's been in there since that whole Shipa episode, it's been a fucking week goddamn it!"
"Whoa, shorty; chill." Eriol commented as Tomoyo waved her arms around in the air.
Hiko popped out from behind him and grinned, "Quit boxing air ya' loser!"
Tomoyo was about to strike him but Eriol beat her to the punch, "Enough!"
Just then Kouga and Syaoran walked in, since a week ago Syaoran's been coming to the hideout more and more often, "How's Sakura?"
Naozumi woke up from his nap and agreed, "Yeah, how's the kid?"
Tomoyo looked down depressed, "She hasn't eaten since then. Hasn't come out of that damn room either."
"Shit, you'd think she's dead by now. A week without food!" Hiko screamed out.
Syaoran looked down, sorrow in his eyes.
"You know what, I just got a great idea!" Yuu-Hi exclaimed pounding one fist on top of the other open palm, "Syaoran should go up there and talk to her!"
"What makes you think she'll open the door for him when she doesn't even open the door for food!?" Hiko argued.
Yuu-Hi punched Hiko in the face, "Because-faggot! All you think about is food, food, food!"
"What'd you call me?" Hiko punched him in the stomach, "You know it all!"
Yuu-Hi reached out his hand and grabbed both edges of Hiko's lips and pulled, "Little bitch!"
Everyone else sweat dropped as they both yelled and rolled around fighting with one another.
"Ahem, even though they can be childish; Yuu-Hi does have a point." Eriol pointed out.
"What do you mean?" Asked Tomoyo amazed with his maturity at times.
"Well, for one thing he is a doctor so he could kill time and treat her at the same time as console her, it's like killing two birds with one stone. Plus, don't you think she'd like to talk with him more than any of us?"
Kouga and Naozumi nodded with agreement.
In the background Yuu-Hi and Hiko are still going all out in their match for all brute fame.
Tomoyo nudged Syaoran at his side, "Well, what do ya' say?" She winked and grinned.
Syaoran turned red feeling embarrassed that he was going to be the only one in the room with Sakura, "But-But what if she doesn't open the door?"
"Trust me, I know my room more than anyone else. If I can't open it than I'm one stupid sorry mother fucker." Naozumi smirked, "Besides I'm dying to get my room back! It's been a hell of a week sleeping with Kouga! Fucking snores for half the damn night and then starts mumbling shit into my ear!"
Everyone started laughing as Kouga tightened his fist, "What was that?! I think you got it mixed up, it's you who snore and fucken kicks the shit out of the damn wall! Damn, I let you into my room for the whole fucken week and this is what I get!"
"What was that?!" Naozumi screamed, "You want to take this outside, well do ya'?"
"Common little bro, let's go!" Kouga exclaimed and jumped on top of Naozumi who bumped into Yuu-Hi who was still fighting with Hiko, "What the hell dude!"
Then they all got into a fight, Tomoyo with this got annoyed, "Yuu-Hi, Hiko, Naozumi, Kouga stop acting like a bunch of dumb asses! We got important shit we got to-"
Hiko accidentally threw a punch at Tomoyo and Kouga bumped into her leaving her on the ground, "Why-Why you fucken immature punks!"
She then threw herself upon all four of them and started beating the shit out of all of them.
Everyone who was left stared and sweat dropped, "Anyways," Eriol said facing Syaoran, "I think Yuu-Hi is right about the fact that the person who should go and talk to Sakura should be you, but that's not for us to decide. So, what do you think?"
Syaoran looked away from him and stared blankly at the wall.
'I did promise I'd make her smile, I haven't forgotten that. And here I let her go wasting away all alone in some cold and dark room, doing absolutely nothing about it.'
He turned back to Eriol and looked him dead straight in the eyes, "I'll do it."
Eriol nodded and smiled, "I knew you would."
He then turned around and saw that everyone else was continuing their little so-called war.
"Now if you'd excuse me, I have to do a little punishing before we get down to business."
He got out a whip from beneath a table and grinned. Syaoran nodded slightly and sweat dropped.
"Ouch, jeez Eriol! You didn't have to whip us that hard!" Hiko complained rubbing his back.
"I know! I'm going to be fucking soar for a whole week!" Kouga screamed pointing accusingly at Eriol.
"Hmp, I merely showed you children how to act properly at such times as this." Eriol said trying to act mature and then a childish grin stretched across his face, "Plus, I haven't whipped someone's ass in a long time!"
"Hey it's not fair! Tomoyo didn't get whipped!" Naozumi pointed to the standing Tomoyo almost in mint condition.
She then smirked and stood in a confident pose, "That's because I'm so god damn cute! Who in the right mind would want to bruise this beautiful face?"
"Me!" Hiko raised his hand and then looked around to see everyone look at him and shake their head, "Uh oh-I mean-"
Tomoyo again got fused up ready for another fight, "Hiko!"
"Now you two stop that! Before I whip the shit out of you again!" Eriol yelled.
"You're lucky this time, ya' fag." Tomoyo muttered and sat back down on the steps of the stairs.
"Well, I think the time has come for Syaoran to see Sakura." Kouga pointed out.
"Good idea." Naozumi agreed nodding his bandaged head.
Syaoran nodded and started for the steps, of course everyone else followed, each nervous as the other. Syaoran led the crowd into the emptiness of the hallway, where just beyond the third door laid Sakura's body. The hallway was immediately filled with the sounds of Syaoran's beating heart, this was it. Every step he took felt long and slow, as if his legs were mechanic and couldn't move normally and naturally. Tomoyo reached for his arm and patted it and smiled a reassuring smile and Naozumi patted his back and also grinned, which held the message, 'You can do it.'
"Here," Kouga handed Syaoran a red rose and smiled, "I was going to give it to her myself, but I think it'll be better if you gave it to her instead."
Syaoran smiled back at everyone and held his breath and let it go slowly, he was in front of the room. He knocked on the door gently and asked in the most gentlest voice, "Sakura?"
As always there was no reply, but that didn't stop Syaoran, "May I come in?"
After several minutes he looked at Naozumi who already had the key to his room at hand.
Without saying a word Naozumi inserted the bronze key into the silver doorknob and turned it ever so slightly to its side. He nodded when there was an audible click and took out the key and went back to the others who stood at least four paces away from the room.
Syaoran gulped, "Sakura, I'm coming in."
He placed his hand onto the doorknob and waited for several seconds then when he had enough courage he twisted the knob around along with his hand and pushed the door. The squeaking of the door opening was heard and echoed all along the hallway. His eyes were closed. He took one step forward into the room. And finally asking one last time his mouth moved to form the word, "Sakura?"
He opened his eyes to reveal to him the fate of Sakura, but what he saw he dared not speak.
The red rose in his hand dropped to the cold still floor, making the petals spread away from the stem and making it look dead and old, "Sakura-"
A/N: Hi there everyone! Well, how'd you like this chapter? Yes, it's quite long as I promised. And yes, I decided to put some funny stuff into it also, it's been too dramatic so far so I thought I should of lightened it up a little. I hoped you enjoyed it while it lasted! Cause the ending of this chapter returned to its dramatic climate. Oh, and about the ending of this chapter, quite a cliffhanger, neh? You'll have to keep reading to find out what happens to Sakura. You will keep reading won't you? I hope so! And keep reviewing for me okay? Thanks a bunch! Well, until next time! Byex3
