Chapter Six
:--------------------------------:
Syaoran rushed to all the nearby bookstores looking for the book, "Where could it be!" he thought out loud. He looked down at his watch realizing he was supposed to be back at work 10 minutes ago. Rushing out and hurrying to work he didn't even notice that his cell phone was ringing.
:--------------------------------:
Miaka looked at the phone sadly. He wasn't picking up; probably mad at her for yelling at him and such. Deciding to just ignore it she continued the swim meet for her team. She just had 1 more month until the competition.
:-------------------------------:
Tomoyo went to work the next day, not even bothering to go home. She saw Naoko give her a funny look, "What happened?" Tomoyo shrugged her shoulders, "Just got in a fight." Naoko nodded, "Me and my husband get those every night." Tomoyo sat down beside her, "About what?" Naoko laughed, "About big things, like cheating. And small things like whose going to cook dinner."
Tomoyo gasped, "Cheating? Is he cheating on you?" Naoko shrugged her shoulders, "Don't know." Tomoyo looked at Naoko, "Aren't you going to do something?" Naoko looked at Tomoyo, "Daidouji think about it. I catch my husband cheating. We get divorced. I lose half of what I have. I can barely fend for myself. What is the point in that?" Tomoyo looked at her sadly, "Demo…didn't you always tell me to stand up for what I believe in?"
Naoko looked at Tomoyo smiling a sad smile, "I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did. Falling in love with something…that was never yours." With that Naoko quickly stood up and walked away leaving Tomoyo some time to think.
:--------------------------------:
Syaoran had a hard time concentrating on his work causing him to make many mistakes. Terada sighed, "Maybe you should take a day off Syaoran." Syaoran shook his head, "No…I can do this," he said and ended up breaking a plate. Terada laughed, "No, don't worry. The store will manage one day with out you." Syaoran nodded grateful, "Arigatou." Terada waved him off, "Hurry up and go before I change my mind. Maybe you can walk Chiharu home while you're at it. She's off shift now."
Syaoran nodded and went to the employee room to look for her. "Chi…hurry up I'm walking you home." Chiharu looked up, "Nani! You have got to be kidding me!" Syaoran shook his head, "Nope now hurry up." Chiharu sighed, "Great…and I thought this day couldn't get any worst." "I'll just pretend I didn't hear that," Syaoran said while walking off. Chiharu huffed but Syaoran was already gone. "Ugh! Wait for me!" Chiharu screamed trying to catch up to him.
Syaoran chuckled at the sight in front of him. Chiharu had run with all her might to catch up with him and now her hair was messy and was all around her face. "Stop laughing!" Chiharu screamed trying to fix her hair. "Gomen," Syaoran said while clutching his sides, it was hurting from laughing to hard.
Chiharu sighed and continued walking, "What's on your mind?" she asked out of nowhere. Syaoran turned to her, "What are you talking about?" Chiharu glared at him, "I may not be as old as you. But I'm not dense; you were screwing up more than usual today. What is on your mind?" Syaoran shrugged, "Looking for something." Chiharu looked at him, "For what?"
"Doesn't matter, you won't be able to find it," Syaoran said simply sitting down on a nearby park bench. Chiharu smirked, "Try me." Syaoran looked at her and said, "A book, Mayauru no Okurimono." Chiharu thought for a second, "If I get you that book, will you stop screwing up." Syaoran scowled, "Like you can really get the book." Chiharu smirked again, "Watch me." She flipped out her cell phone and began chatting away with whoever was on the other line.
"There," she said putting the phone down. "Now what?" Syaoran asked. "Now we wait, it takes time to bring it here you know," Chiharu told him matter-of-factly. Syaoran just shrugged, not like he had much else to do. After about 20 minutes a black limo drove by and a woman dressed in completely black with a pair of black shades walked out carrying a brown box. "Package for Mihara-sama," she spoke in a mechanical voice.
Chiharu stood up and bowed to the woman, "Arigatou, I owe you one." The woman lifted up the shades revealing blood red eyes, "Neh, it's all right. You want a drive?" Chiharu nodded just let me tell my friend. Chiharu ran off towards Syaoran, "Here's your book. You better not screw up tomorrow. I had to pull some strings to get you this book. Why do you need it anyway?" Chiharu questioned, "It's not like you read children's book…do you?" Syaoran chuckled, "It's for a friend." Chiharu nodded, "Must be some friend." Chiharu started walking off. "What do you mean?" Syaoran questioned her. Chiharu just waved her hand, "God you're dense."
:--------------------------------:
Sakura stared out the window; it had been 1 week. Time seemed too past by when you were reading. Her parents had given her multiple children books for her to read. She had read all of them, with only one hope left. That one special book. "Sakura…" Miaka said interrupting her thoughts. Sakura turned smiling, "He promised he'll come."
Miaka sighed, no matter how many days past, it seemed like nothing to Sakura. She had lost all sense of time, and now…that was all she wanted, to see him again. Miaka nodded, "Maybe I'll ask him to come tonight." Sakura's eyes brightened, "You're really going to do that?" Miaka nodded, "Yeah…" Sakura went to hug her sister but ending up failing miserably and fell on the floor.
Miaka quickly helped her sister back up, "Don't strain yourself. I have to go okay? I have swim meet." Sakura smiled, "I'm proud of you." Miaka felt tears stinging her eyes, "Arigatou." Sakura just continued smiling her famous smile.
:--------------------------------:
Miaka glared at the phone. Should she call him? The question whirled in her mind. Sure she wanted her sister to be happy, but she also didn't agree with how the doctors were treating her. Who would want to live a lie? Deciding she didn't care as long as her sister was happy she quickly dialed his number. "Moshi moshi?" his strong voice came through. "Come to the hospital," she said sternly and hung up the phone. Well that went smoothly.
:--------------------------------:
Tomoyo returned back to the apartment that night. A week had past and throughout that entire week she hadn't had the chance to see Syaoran. She noticed a note by the fridge. 'Working late, be back home later.' She felt the pain pierce at her heart, he was avoiding her. But deep inside she felt that she deserved it, she had cheated on him. She had been with another man behind his back.
:--------------------------------:
After Syaoran had received the phone call he had quickly rushed over towards the hospital. He didn't care that it was the middle of the day, and that he should return back to work since as now he had the book. He had to see her, make sure she was okay. He knew that would be breaking his promise to Tomoyo, but he had to do this.
He rushed down the white halls ignoring the hellos he was receiving. When he got to her floor he noticed Kaori crying. Syaoran stopped, "Kay-san?" Kaori looked up, "The boyfriend…" Syaoran looked at her, "Did something happen." Kaori wiped her eyes, "Mei Mei's gone." Syaoran froze, "What do you mean gone?" Kaori started crying again, "She died…she finally died. For the past week she was in so much pain…and…and now she's finally gone." Syaoran stopped, "She died?" Kaori nodded, "But she's at a better place now right? No more pain…right?"
Syaoran nodded, "A better place." Kaori just nodded her head, registering the words through her head, convincing her self that it was true. Syaoran slowly walked off…he didn't want to cause her anymore pain. When she was out of sight he rushed down the halls to Sakura's room. He barged open through the doors and looked around. Sakura seemed to be fine just staring at her hands.
"Saku…" he said while walking closer. Sakura turned, "Syaoran-kun! You have the book," she said while pointing to the book. Syaoran nodded, "I got it for you." Sakura's whole face lit up, "Arigatou." At that moment Kaho-sensei walked in and smiled at the two. "How are you feeling today Sakura?" Sakura just looked at her and than towards the door, "Mia!"
Miaka nodded and walked into the room, "Answer Mizuki-sensei's question onee-chan." Sakura tilted her head to the side, "The question…" Kaho-sensei nodded, "Yes. How ar…" But she was interrupted by Sakura, "Why are my hands so thin?" "What do you mean?" Kaho asked politely. Sakura looked up again, her eyes growing with curiosity, "I never used to be this skinny, and…and my hair. It's so long. I…I can't make it go like it used to. It's so…long. I couldn't have grown this much hair in 2 month." Kaho was a lost for words, "No tell me how you are feeling."
Sakura opened her mouth to retort back when Miaka interrupted them. "Why don't we just tell her!" she screamed out. Sakura turned her head to her sister, "Tell me what?" You could see the tears streaking down Miaka's cheek and the doctor trying to calm her down. "No! You guys are wrong! She deserves the truth! And damnit if you guys aren't going to say anything I AM!" Miaka screamed pushing everyone away.
"Sakura…you were in a coma for three years! Not one month! Syaoran is now dating Tomoyo! He doesn't love you anymore. I'm not in junior high anymore! I'm in my graduating year for high school onee-chan. And…and…we weren't allowed to tell you because of you! You are a weak little thing that can't even take care of yourself!" she screamed while breaking down on the floor.
Sakura turned to Syaoran. "Syaoran-kun…is it true? Is everything that Miaka said true?" Syaoran didn't know what to say. He looked at the doctor but noticed that she was in too much shock at the sudden outcome to notice him. He nodded his head slowly. He watched as the tears fell down her emerald eyes, "You don't love me? You love Tomoyo?" Syaoran nodded, "Gomen…" he couldn't even get the words out as Sakura slowly fell limp in her bed. "Oh my god!" Kaho screamed and quickly got up, "Call the nurses!" she yelled out to Syaoran.
Syaoran was frozen, what was happening. Kaho gave him a shove, "Call the nurses now!" Syaoran nodded numbly and quickly ran out.
