Chapter 7
Arms Wide Open
"SYAO! I LOVE YOU SYAO, YOU'RE ALIVE!" Sakura yelled.
"Sakura..." Syao said and opened his arms for Sakura to go into his arms and stay there for a while untill Yama came back in.
"Ahh, I see you're awake Syaoran Li, now we must cure your disease before it shows once again."
"Alright..." Sakura anwswered and got up.
"I will only be a few minutes Sakura, I'll call you back in when I'm done, and can you get me that cloth before you leave?"
"Yes." Sakura answered, go the cloth and left.
Yama then took some herbs from her drawer and mixed them together on the cloth, then layed the bottom of the cloth on Syao's forehead and waited untill he looked more relaxed, then slowly removed it. She called Sakura back in and told her that she would just be outside if she needed her. Sakura went into the house and sat beside Syaoran once again. Syaoran slowly fell asleep and Sakura stayed by his side. Sakura started to wonder what people would think about Syaoran being ressurected...would they ignore him, or just be happy that he's alive, either way Sakura still loved him and would not send him back to the grave. She would look after him and would never let him die again. Eriol's father entered the house saying that they had to leave soon, it was almost supper time and they had to be home shortly after then. Sakura awoke Syao and gave him a pair of clothes that Eriol had brought for Syao to wear and told him to put them on quick, they were going back home. Since no one knew Syao was alive except for Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol, and Eriol's father, Sakura decided she was going to take Syao home with her. She would explain to her mother how Syao was alive somehow and he could stay there for a while. Sakura helped Syao up and went out of the room for a minute. Syao shortly came out and they got back in the car to go back to Eriol's house. Sakura explained what had happened to Eriol and Tomoyo, he laughed, he was amazed that they got together so quickly. After all, they were both very shy people and never really said anything like that before and he was surprised that Eriol actualy told her.
After a half an hour, Syao quietly fell asleep again, Sakura left him to sleep and would wake him when they got there. Sakura and Tomoyo talked for a while about what Sakura should explain to Syao and what she should ask him, like if she should ask him if they were going out, or how funny it was when Eriol told Tomoyo he loved her. Tomoyo told her she should say some things to him, things she didn't understand and explain the things he didn't understand. Eriol, trying not to eves-drop, came in and agreed, somethings that needed to be explained or questions that needed to be answered, should be. Nothing should be left mis-understood. When they pulled into Eriol's driveway, Sakura woke Syao and they got out and went inside for a quick supper, after, Tomoyo and Eriol left Sakura and Syao alone to talk for a bit.
"So Syao, are we...you know...going out?"
"Of course Sakura, just because all we said was we loved each other, doesn't mean we aren't."
"Okay, do you know how you were ressurected?"
"No, not at all, I just remember hearing voices, then had to take a big breath of air, that's when I fell asleep, I knew I was alive..."
"Well even if one of your best friends ask why and how you are alive, don't say anything. This must stay a secret, and...they know about us...I kindof told them then ran off crying."
"Aww..were you that upset when I..."
"Yea..."
"Wow, Sakura, I promise you I wont leave you again, I'll even ask your father if I can move in with you, I am the proper age and if I get a job after school finishes, we can move out together, then we can be together forever."
Syao...you would do that for me... Sakura thought about it, then said, "Syao...I'm sure my father would gladly let you, he knows you really well."
Tomoyo and Eriol came back in the room and told Sakura and Syao they were going back home now. Eriol's father took Tomoyo home first, letting Eriol sneak a little privacy in before she went into the house. Then took Sakura and Syao to Sakura's place, Sakura went in first to ask her father if Syao could stay, she explained what happened and her father gladly let him, as they planned. Sakura ran outside, got Syao and went back in, saying quick goodbyes to Eriol and his father.
Syao was welcomed with happy faces and a place to stay. Some of Syao's stuff that was left in his room was brought to him the next day and they went to school, everyone was shocked to see Sakura and Syaoran together, the more surprising thing to them was that he was alive...everyone wondered if Sakura was telling the truth of weither, like they had read in fiction books, that he had been ressurected. It was easy for Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol to understand, but no one else either beilived them and called Sakura a lier or believed them and were happy for Sakura. But Sakura didn't care, she was with her Syao and that was all that mattered.
