Chapter Two
:--------------------------------:
After Miaka had called the doctor all the nurses escorted her out to the lobby. She hurried to call her parents. Staring at the phone, she pondered whether or not to call Syaoran. She knew the one person her sister wanted to see the most was him, but she couldn't do it. She quickly turned around, allowing him to see her would just make matters worst. She knew that if her sister found out the truth about Syaoran and Tomoyo she would be devastated. She looked towards the side. She noticed her parents rushing towards her. Her mother was crying through her emerald green eyes.
They sat down as they waited for the doctor to come out. When she finally came out, she had a large frown on her face. "W-w-what's wrong?" Nadeshiko asked sobbing softly. Kaho-sensei smiled slightly, "She's awake but she's lost all sense of time." Miaka stood up, "What are you talking about?" Kaho cleared her throat, "She believes it isn't too long ago that she was in the accident. Also her mind isn't able to carry any information. Meaning her mind is like a child's right now. And we are not to tell her that she was in a coma for three years. We don't know what will happen when she finds out, the trauma of the thought could send her back into another coma. So we're going to wait until she is strong enough to handle the truth."
Nadeshiko started shaking, "B-b-but she's okay right?" Fujitaka held onto his wife tightly, "She'll improve right?" Kaho nodded, "But how long we are still unsure. If she's lucky she'll improve in a few months. If she isn't…it could take her years. Or maybe she'll never be able to recover to her old self." Miaka tried to stay strong for everyone, "Can we see her?" Kaho nodded, "Don't stay too long though. Her body is still really frail and can't handle being awake for a long period of time. She needs plenty of rest if she wishes to recover." Miaka nodded in understanding.
The three entered the room gasping at the sight. Sakura was sitting on the white sheets staring out the window. She seemed to be gazing at the stars lost in thought. The sheets were in her hands, clutching them close towards her slim body. Miaka stepped closer, "Onee-chan?" Sakura turned slowly, just staring. Slowly she opened her mouth, "M-M-Miaka?" Miaka nodded as tears fell down her face, she ran wrapping her arms tightly around her sister.
She could feel her sister hugging her back with much difficulty. Miaka tired to hold in the tears. She stared at her sister's lost emerald green eyes. They seemed to be wondering around like an innocent child. Kaho came in interrupting them all, "You should let her rest now."
One Month
Tomoyo and Syaoran never talked about moving in again. They were both at Syaoran's apartment. Tomoyo had decided to keep an extra storage of clothes there incase she ever decided to stay over for the night.
They were eating some rice that Tomoyo had cooked earlier. The phone started ringing interrupting the peace. "Aren't you going to get that?" Tomoyo asked softly. Syaoran shook his head, "Its probably just work. And I promised to spend the day with you." A beep was heard and the machine started, "…" there was complete silence. "I guess you were right," Tomoyo said while she continued eating.
"…H-h-hello," they heard a soft voice come through, "I-I-I know it's really late to tell you this now but…but Sakura woke up." Tomoyo froze dropping the bowl from her hands. She looked towards Syaoran and noticed that he was also in shock by the news. "S-s-she keeps asking for you. Please just come see her once. And tell her the truth…just not about the time that's past. She won't forget about you until you tell her…I know." Syaoran lunged for the phone but it was already too late. Miaka had hung up.
Tomoyo gazed at Syaoran, not moving an inch. Syaoran turned and looked at her, "Let's go visit her." Tomoyo looked in those chocolate brown eyes that she fell in love with and nodded her head slowly. They both left and headed towards the hospital.
:--------------------------------:
Tomoyo griped onto his hand tightly, reassuring him that everything would be okay. Syaoran smiled thankful for her presence. When they reached the doors they noticed Miaka glaring at them, "Why did you bring her?" she asked distastefully. Syaoran held onto Tomoyo tightly, "You don't know the whole story." Miaka laughed harshly, "I don't? I know that this whore still you just because my sister isn't here!" Tomoyo watched as Miaka ran off as a memory came to her.
:--------------------------------:
It was a few months after the accident and everyone was a nervous wreck. Tomoyo and Miaka sat at the diner drinking some warm coffee. Miaka smiled sadly to the woman in front of her. Tomoyo's long ebony hair flowed around her. "The whole swim team has been talking about you. They say that you quit because of a man, but I know the truth, it's because of my onee-chan isn't it? I know it is really hard to accept, but why did you quit?" Miaka asked her softly. Tomoyo smiled, "Thank you for believing in me, but I couldn't swim anymore. Mia…you can do great things, don't quit like I did." Miaka smiled brightly.
After the accident she realized she couldn't swim anymore. Every time she was under the water she would always end up thinking of Sakura. Sakura was always there for her, cheering her on, encouraging her to improve. Her swimming slowly got worst as time went off, and soon she was kicked off the team. People thought it was because she was so sexually active that it caused her to not be able to swim at her full potential.
"Can you do me a favour Tomoyo-senpai?" Miaka asked while looking downwards sadly. Tomoyo smiled at the young girl, "Anything, I mean you're like a younger sister to me." Miaka nodded, "I need you to take care of onii-chan for me." "Nani?" Tomoyo asked confused. "He hasn't been so good lately. He's hurting all of us through his pain. He needs his friends right now. Until onee0chan wakes up again and comes back." Tomoyo looked at her, "Do you really believe that?" Miaka nodded, "Onee-chan is strong, she has to come back…no she will come back for sure." Tomoyo nodded while standing up to leave, "I have somewhere to go now."
For months Syaoran stayed at the hospital. He would come early in the morning and leave in time for school. Than after school he would go back to the hospital and than leave after visiting times were over. He didn't notice as the world past around him.
Tomoyo would visit him everyday. Cooking him breakfast and dinner. Syaoran rarely ate though, he was too busy with Sakura. He would sit by her side, clutching her hand in his. Fujitaka and Nadeshiko would always watch in the distance. Although it had pained them deeply, they accepted the fact that she would never wake up again.
One day Tomoyo got tired of taking care of him. She decided to confront him once and for all. "Why do you keep hurting yourself like this?" He looked at her, his hair was long now and dirty. He had thick bags under his eyes, "I know she'll wake up," was all he said. Tears streaked down her milky white skin, she shook her head furiously, "She's never going to wake up Syaoran! Everyone else is able to accept this so why can't you? And even if she does wake up she wouldn't want to see you like this Syao! You need a day off, get your life back together!"
Syaoran looked up, he was going to argue but when he saw the tears he nodded his head, "Fine, tomorrow." Tomoyo squealed in joy and ran out of the room. Syaoran touched Sakura's cheek gently, "She's wrong, I know you'll wake up. You'll come back to me. I know it."
:--------------------------------:
The next day Tomoyo arrived at Syaoran's house early in the morning. She thought of Sakura. When she left she brought everything with her. All their happiness was gone. They didn't even go to their own graduation. She clenched her fists tightly, Sakura took away Syaoran. She took away his heart, his souls, just leaving a hallow body.
She entered his apartment looking around. It was filled with dirty clothes all around. There were dirty dishes lying in the sink. He was still sleeping peacefully. He always forgot to lock his doors, and because of that every morning she was able to enter his apartment. She started cleaning the room. Syaoran slowly stirred awake from the movement. Tomoyo smiled sweetly, "You should get ready, I'll make breakfast." Syaoran nodded.
When they headed out they went to the park. Syaoran had finally cleaned and washed himself. After a little walk they headed to a hairdresser. Syaoran got his hair trimmed as Tomoyo cut her hair so it was only to her shoulders. They started to walk down the road, "Any where else you want to go?" Tomoyo asked looking at him. Syaoran stopped walking and shook his head, "I'm tired." Tomoyo smiled, "All right, want me to bring you home?" Syaoran shook his head while Tomoyo slowly walked off. He looked towards the poster in the window and quickly ran off.
It began to rain, Tomoyo quickly ran towards the hospital. In her hands was a bouquet of cherry blossoms. She walked down the hallway when a screaming was heard. She quickly walked towards the voice, "You can't bring her out of here!" she heard Kaori's soft, but strong voice. "I have to! I promised her!" Syaoran's voice boomed through the hallways. Tomoyo started running scared for the worst. "But she isn't healed yet! She can't leave the hospital!" she heard Mei Lin argue.
No! I promised her I'd go to the children's book convention with her!" Syaoran screamed. Tomoyo watched as Syaoran clutched Sakura closer to his chest. She was in his arms wrapped up tightly in the bed sheets. She could see his hands shaking, he got up to start running. Tears ran down Tomoyo's cheeks as she walked closer to him. Everything seemed to slow down as Tomoyo raised her hand and it landed right on his left cheek. "She's not going to wake up Syaoran!" Tomoyo screamed at him, "No matter what she do, where you bring her, she won't wake up! So bringing her to the presentation won't help her! Don't you understand!" Tomoyo marched off as Syaoran slowly slumped to the floor.
Later on Fujitaka and Nadeshiko went to talk to Syaoran. "We don't think you should see our daughter anymore," Fujitaka said softly, "You're like a second son to us, seeing you like this is hurting us too. You need to move on with your life Syaoran. Sakura is gone now, you need to move on with your life. Just forget about her." Syaoran nodded and slowly walked away, "I understand."
:--------------------------------:
"Moyo," a gentle voice said interrupting her thoughts, "You seem to be out of it." Tomoyo smiled, "No, I'm fine. Let's go visit her." Syaoran took her hand and they both entered the hospital.
Mei Lin looked up from her papers and smiled softly, "Here to see Sakura? You haven't visited her for awhile." Syaoran nodded his head but didn't say anything. He hadn't visited her since that day. Tomoyo had slowly took care of him after that time. He had slowly accepted the fact that Sakura wasn't going to wake up. That he needed to move on.
The three slowly walked down the hospital hall. "Oh, remember to not mention anything on time when you're talking to her. We don't know how she'll react so we're waiting until she's more stable." Tomoyo looked at her questionably, "So what day does she think it is?" Mei Lin sighed, "One month since the accident." "Won't she start noticing?" Syaoran asked.
"Her mind isn't able to work correctly right now. So even though she'll notice she'll also quickly forget. Also if she asks just change the subject, she'll soon forget she was even thinking of that. And like is aid, we'll tell her everything once she's stable," everyone turned around and Kaho-sensei stood there. "You may go visit her now," she said while opening the door to the room.
Tomoyo stepped in first. She gasped at the sight. Sakura sat by the window still looking at the stars gleaming above. "Sakura, your friends came to visit you," Mei Lin said while stepping out. Sakura turned and smiled softly, "Tomoyo? You got a hair cut," she said softly. Tears stung Tomoyo's eyes, "I wanted a change." Sakura nodded and stared at Syaoran, "Syao-kun gomen. I couldn't wait for you." Syaoran walked closer towards her touching her hand, "It was my fault. I should've came earlier." Sakura shook her head, "It wasn't your fault-Moyo…when did you get here? I like your new haircut, it suits you." She said while smiling brightly. Tomoyo turned and saw Kaho frown.
"Just go on with what she says," Kaho-sensei whispered. Tomoyo nodded unsurely, "Just got here." Sakura smiled, "I'm glad you came." Tomoyo smiled softly, "Of course I'd come, we're best friends." Miaka stood by the doorway frowning. She walked towards them, "Onee-chan, aren't you happy onii-chan came to visit you?" Sakura nodded her head holding tightly onto Syaoran's hand. Miaka continued to frown as Syaoran just stood there.
He stared in her eyes, she looked so innocent so lost. Miaka walked towards the door, "I'll come back later onee-chan." Sakura nodded. Slowly everyone exited the room.
Outside sitting was Fujitaka and Nadeshiko. Fujitaka stood up, "Can I talk to you Syaoran?" Syaoran nodded and the two women walked off. "Thank you for visiting her. I know I told you not to…demo can you try your best to visit her? I know you have Tomoyo now…but she hadn't truly smiled until you came. So please."
Syaoran looked at the man and softly nodded. Fujitaka slowly walked off towards the direction of his wife. Syaoran turned around and saw Miaka frowning at him. "You baka!" she hissed at him. Syaoran looked at her, "Nani?" Miaka started crying softly, but she quickly wiped it off, "Why do you keep lying to her? Don't you see…in the end it'll just hurt her more!" Syaoran stared at her, "You were the one who told me to visit her…" "To tell her the truth!" Miaka screamed back, "I wanted you to tell her the truth…"
'Through the past, we learn of our mistakes. But it is through the future that we must all head for. To forgive, and forget...something we must all learn to do. To be able to move on...takes great difficulty...so should you take that step back again? For the past...or for the present...who will make it to the future?'
