Chap. 8

*~*~*Sakura*~*~*

Sakura was sitting on the chair beside the bed where the boy laid. 2 hours passed since they got there. Syaoran had asked permission for her to miss her class so she could stay with him since she insisted. She told Tomoyo and the others the incident while Syaoran left her for he still had some important classes to attend to.

She stared at the ceiling then returned her gazed to the boy. Suddenly, the door opened revealing the nurse who is holding the newly washed uniform of the boy.

"Could you kindly give this to him when he woke up? I already washed it.." she said handing it to Sakura.

"Sure! Thank you!" she replied politely getting his clothes. Then the nurse smile at her, which she returned gratefully and with that she exited the room.

She looked down and saw the name written on his uniform. It read 'Patrick'.

"Patrick?" she whispered, remembering who the boy was. He's one of her 'admirers' who gave her a card when she's still in the hospital. (Remember? The one that Syaoran read? Just think that she had already scan all the cards. lol)

"Uhmm.." Patrick murmured getting her attention.

She placed the uniform on the table then walk up to him.

"Hi!" she greeted making his eyes flutter open.

"Um.. Hi." He replied shyly.

"Where am I?" he asked.

"You're on the clinic.. We found you unconcious." She replied making him nod.

"How do you feel?" she asked looking at him. He had beautiful red eyes and dark brown hair.

"Fine.." he replied turning to look away. He was too shy that he couldn't even stare straight at her.

"Are you sure? You look nervous.." she said leaning closer to him making him blush.

"Ok then.. Do you want something? Are you hungry?" she said standing straight.

"No.. I'm fine. Thanks." He replied making her smile.

"So.. Would you mind telling me what happened?" she asked making him turn to look at her.

"It's nothing.." he replied afraid to tell her about it. The thought of Xin's group made him shiver.

"You can trust me." She said but he shook his head.

"Ok." she said softly making him felt guilty.

'She's so nice.' He thought, then stiffened when he felt her hand touched his.

"I just want you to know that I'm always ready to help.. Hmm?" she said giving him a warm smile making him blush then nod.

"C'mon! You don't need to be shy." She laughed making him feel light-headed for a short time.

"Now, give me a smile." She said making him looked up to her while she just smile at him the he looked down.

"Aww, c'mon! Please?" she begged but he just looked away trying not to blush.

"Pretty please??" she said. He then looked up only to be met by her puppy eyes that made him chuckled. A smile form on his lips.

"Aww! How cute!" she said making him laugh as she giggled.

"Thanks." he said.

"No problem!" she replied smiling brightly.

'She's really cute..' he thought looking at her. Her face was glowing and her eyes were sparkling.

"Um.." he suddenly said.

"Yes?" she asked while he blushed.

"Could you let go of my.. hand now?" he said looking down.

"Oh.. I'm sorry! Heheh.." she said immediately letting go of his hand. She then scratched the back of her head smiling sheepishly.

"It's ok." he replied smiling at her.

"Well, tell me about yourself." She said sitting down at the sofa.

"Nothing much." He said.

"Where's your mother and your father?" she asked looking at the ceiling.

"They died when I was a child." He said shocking her.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked." She apologized turning to look at him while he just shook his head.

"It's ok. I've learned to accept it." He said reassuring her a smile.

"How about you?" he asked looking at her while she just closed her eyes and leaned back on her chair.

"My mother died when I was 3. She had this disease which couldn't be cured while my father died from a plane crash." She said making him feel sorry.

"I'm sorry.." he said seeing sadness in her eyes when she opened them.

"Don't be.. Guess we're even.." she smiled making him nod.

"So.. Any brothers or sisters?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"None." Was all he said.

"Relatives?" she asked again.

"I'm currently living with my auntie." He said somehow sadly.

"What's the matter? Don't you like her?" she asked but he shook his head no.

"I loved her. She's more like a mother to me. She was so caring and loving but.." he paused making her raised a brow.

"But.. she got ill and it's getting serious day by day. I can't buy her medicine 'cause they're too expensive." He finished feeling tears whelming in his eyes.

Sakura felt her heart aches hearing him say that. She know what it feels to lose someone you love.

"I don't want to loose her like my parents. She's the only thing I have." He added.

Sakura walked up to him and give his hand a comforting squeeze.

"I don't know what I would to If I was to loose her." He cried as a tear slipped down his face.

"Don't say such things.. She won't leave you.." she comforted as he hugged her.

"Kinomoto-san..." he sobbed while she just returned his hug.

"Shh.. It's ok.. I'm always here! See! And Sakura-chan is okay." she said making him nod. They stayed there for a while until he had finished his crying.

"Arigatou!" he said making her smile.

"Rest now.. I'll stay here with you." She said as he nodded wiping his last tears away. He then lay back with her help and soon fell asleep.

Sakura tucked him under the cover as she returned to the sofa and lay her head back. She felt like he was her younger brother though she didn't know how it felt to have someone like that. He was so sweet and nice. And she couldn't let him down. She will try to find a way to help him and his auntie. Then, not for long, she too doze off to sleep.

*~*~*Syaoran*~*~*

*RIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

The bell rang signaling that it was time to go home. He packed his things, bid his good-byes to his friends and immediately ran to where Sakura was.

He opened the door noticing it was very quite, he decided not to make any noise. He then closed the door behind him and made his way to the sofa where a girl with auburn hair was peacefully sleeping.

"Ummm...." She murmured placing her arm at the back of her head.

He chuckled at how adorable she look and then sat beside her placing his bag down. He gently brought her hand to her hips and then he leaned back and sighed closing his eyes.

A knock on the door was heard making him turn to look at who it was.

"Good Afternoon Ms~" the nurse greeted happily but was cut off when she saw a boy sitting with Sakura.

Sakura then shifted on her side getting Syaoran's attention.

"Shhhhhhhh....." he said making her nodded in embarrassment. He didn't want to wake her up that's why he didn't make any noise when he came in, yet, this nurse will not do good at all. Well, that's what he thought.

"I'm sorry.." she said looking down.

"It's ok. What do you want?" he asked trying to hide his slight anger.

"Um.. I just want to say that once the boy woke up, you should bring him home. The school will soon be closed." She explained in a low voice making him nod.

"I'll tell her that." Was all his reply.

"Thanks.." with that she left.

He sighed and turn his attention on the boy who is sleeping in the bed. He knew who he is but he wondered what they're planning now. Then he felt Sakura's head fall on his shoulder. She was still sound asleep making him smile.

"Sakura.." he whispered as he brushed the hair off her face making her shiver.

"Syaoran..." she murmured making him stopped and then raised a brow.

Is she dreaming about him..? He wondered placing his hand down. He leaned his head back then closed his eyes.

"Syaoran..?" she spoke again making his eyes open then turned to look at her.

*~*~*Sakura*~*~*

"It's cold here.." she said in a low voice then shivered as he rubbed her arms comfortingly making her sigh.

Sakura rubbed her eyes sleepily and the moment she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see a pair of deep amber eyes looking straight at her.

*~*~*Syaoran*~*~

He watched her rubbed her eyes like a child then slowly opened them. His breath was caught looking at her misty emerald poles. They look so pure and innocent as she slowly blinked them. They seemed to be glowing being surrounded by the dark 'cause the light was blocked by thick curtains.

*~*~*Normal*~*~*

Two eyes could be seen glowing in the dark as they stare at each other for awhile. Syaoran don't know what was happening but something seems to be controlling him as he started to lean closer to her. Sakura seemed to be more surprised as she watched him leaned closer and closer to her. She was about to move but stopped when she felt him slipped one of his hand on her slim waist and drew her closer to him. She gasped when he stared straight to her and open her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She then shivered feeling his hot breath tickled her face. She couldn't feel the cold anymore being hugged by his warm body. And it seems to be getting hot inside the room.

Then, he started to drew closer...

But then..

*RRIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG*

The bell rang signaling it was time for the school to be closed. (sorry guyz! lol)

She almost jumped making him chuckled. She blushed then pulled away.

"Ugh.." they heard Patrick said making her stand up then walked up to him leaving Syaoran behind making him sighed as he leaned back closing his eyes. He could clearly see her face on his mind and the way her eyes glow.

She turned the light on then stood beside him.

"Hey..? You ok?" she said but gasped when he saw him sweating.

"Oh my god! What's wrong?!" she asked as she started to panicked not knowing what to do. This made Syaoran open his eyes and walked up to her.

"I-I'm ok, Sakura-chan. Just a bad dream. You don't have to worry." He said breathing heavily.

"Are you sure?" she asked worriedly.

"Yes.. I'm fine." He said then started to take in deep long breath making her sigh.

"Ok.." she said still worried.

"The school will be closed in any minute. We don't want to spend our night here now, do we?" he said making her look at him oddly then nodded.

"Yeah, but.. How about him?" she asked turning to look at Patrick who had his eyes close.

"I can walk.." he said making her shook her head.

"I have my car. I'll bring you to your house." She said making Syaoran raised a brow at her.

*~*~*Syaoran*~*~*

He heard her said that she would bring him home but why? She didn't know him yet. She didn't even know that he was the one who told Xin and the others where she was.

*~*~*Flashback*~*~*

"Hey!" a boy with blue hair and deep blue eyes yelled looking up at his friend.

Syaoran looked down as he was lying on one of the branch on the same Cherry Blossom tree.

"What do you want?" he asked lazily making the man grin. The last thing he wanted to do was to see Eriol's face.

"I just wanted to tell you that Xin and the others were already on their way to Sakura." Eriol said then smirk seeing him frown.

"What?" he asked turning to look at him.

"It's just that someone with the name of.. Patrick I guess.. saw her running towards the back of the school then.. he told Xin about it.. And~" he said but was cut off when Syaoran jumped down the tree and stare at him for a moment.

"Let's go." Syaoran stated making him chuckled.

"I thought your too lazy to go.." Eriol said making him sigh then roll his eyes.

"Whatever. Just shut your mouth." Syaoran said making him smirk then nod even though he didn't saw it as they headed to where Xin and the other were.

"I smell war.." Eriol teased but he just ignore him. He already knew in the first place that Syaoran like Sakura but was just too stubborn to admit it.

'Sakura..' he thought as he clenched his fist tightly. The thought of her with Xin made him angry. Then stopped when he realized what he was doing. What was that? Is he getting jealous? But why? They aren't even going out in the first place. And she was definitely not the first girl he ever had. Women are all the same. First, they say they loved you, but then, after a while, they'll just dumped you like they did with the others. But he knew Sakura's different with them. He could feel it.

He shook his head and sigh. 'What's wrong with me?' he thought.

And they continue to walk. They stopped when they saw Xin talking to a guy who look 3 years younger than him. Then walked up to him, Eriol still following behind.

"What's the matter?" he asked making Xin turn to look at him.

"Li! This is Patrick. Patrick, Li." He said making the boy named Patrick nod at him while he just glanced at the boy.

"What are you doing here?" he asked again making Xin frown in the inside. He didn't like how Syaoran act himself like a leader and the others didn't seem to mind but he do! He didn't want Li to be their leader. He wanted himself to be. And he's going to do that.

"He said that Sakura's here and I wanted to see her myself." Xin said making him turn to look around but saw no one.

"I don't think she's here." Syaoran stated calmly making him frown while the others just smirked. They knew how this two get on each other's nerve.

"She's right over here!" the one shouted getting their attention.

"Let's go." Xin said as he started to walk off with his friends and Patrick following behind.

"It's alright man." Takashi said patting Syaoran on the back as they shook their heads while he nodded then walked off following Xin.

Xin frown seeing no one then turned to glare at Patrick.

"Are you sure she was here?" he said making Patrick nod seeing him frown.

Syaoran watched them argue then sighed. What is he doing here in the first place? Let them do what they want. He didn't even care. But he couldn't deny the fact that he seemed to be more relieve to found out that Sakura's not around. Or so he thought..

*~*~*End of Flashback*~*~*

Syaoran then glare at the boy but he didn't saw him 'cause she was talking to Sakura.

*~*~*Normal*~*~*

"It's ok.. I didn't have much to~" she said but was cut off when her cellphone ring. It was place on the sofa beside her bag as she stared at it for a while. She sighed then walked over it to answer.

"Hello?" she said then frown hearing who it was.

"I'm at school." She said then her frown turn into a scowl making Syaoran chuckled at her face while she just glare at him.

"Yeah. Ja." She said then hung up tossing the phone to the sofa and growled.

"Who's is it?" Syaoran asked as she lay herself on the sofa closing her eyes.

"My mother. She want me to go home now." She said making him smirk.

"So? Mommy's worried with her little daughter." He teased making her glare at him.

"Can you go home by yourself?" she asked Patrick as he nod but she just didn't seem to believe him.

"He's not that badly injured, is he?" Syaoran said making her sigh then shook her head. Silence came as Syaoran continued to stare at her while Patrick just closed his eyes.

"I know!" she yelled suddenly making both men jumped as she covered her mouth blushing from embarassment.

"What was that?" Syaoran asked as she look at him smiling, making him raised a brow at her.

"I don't like that look of yours." He said making her giggle as she stood up.

"What's happening?" Patrick asked as he watched the couple with confusion.

"Let's just say that there's someone right here who's going to bring you home. Right Syaoran?" she beamed making Syaoran frown.

"I knew it." He said making her giggle while Patrick tried to steal a moment to glance at Syaoran. He remembered having met him earlier but he didn't know that he and Sakura were friends and seemed to look like they were close to each other. He then turned to look at Sakura then sighed as he watched her take over Syaoran. He sighed but then started to feel scared as Sakura's words hit him.

'He will take me home?..' he thought feeling scared knowing that he's Xin's friend and have no difference from him. He didn't want to think about it as he shook his head making Sakura turn to look at him oddly.

"What's the matter?" she asked making him shake his head immediately smiling sheepishly at her making Syaoran glare at him and at the moment he saw him, he immediately turn to look away.

'Wow! That's a scary one.' He thought as he grip on the bedsheets that was place above his hips.

"Ne, Patrick? You wouldn't mind if Syaoran bring you home, right?" she asked as he shook his head no.

"Yay!" she squealed making Syaoran chuckled.

"There she goes again.." he sighed as Sakura walked up to him.

"Hey! You make sure to bring him home safely, ok?" she said looking more serious as he raised a brow at her.

"No." he said making her frown.

"Why?" she asked as he looked at her while she just stared back looking confused.

"Because I don't want to." He said making her frown again.

"Aw c'mon! Please?" she begged her eyes twinkling making him chuckled.

"No." he said.

"Fine! Be that way!" she said folding her arms across her chest fuming making him chuckled more.

"Not unless you'll give me a kiss." He stated out of the blue making her look at him with wide eyes.

'What?!!!' her mind screamed as she look at him shocked. He then stood up and smirked walking over to her since as she stood in the middle of the room. He continued until he was few inches away from her while Sakura stood there stunned. The next thing she knew was when he started to lean closer to her but she didn't move. She closed her eyes expecting him to drew her closer and kiss her but he didn't instead he just pass her lips up to her ears then whispered something.

"Just kidding." He chuckled seeing her face heat up as he rubbed her hair like a little child.

"Let's go." Syaoran said making him nod getting up. Sakura immediately ran to help him up.

"Thanks.." he said making her nod then smile.

"Careful now." She said while Syaoran picked up their things and opened the door heading to his car.

Sakura helped him until they reached his car and placed him in. She pulled back and closed the door.

"Goodbye! Take Care!" she said making him smile.

"Arigatou Sakura-chan!" he replied.

Sakura walked up to Syaoran as he give her things back then she smile.

"Thanks! Be careful!" she said making him nod then he signaled her to leaned closer and she did what he told her.

"I only do this because you wanted to." He said making her giggle seeing his annoyed expression.

"Oh Syaoran! Don't say such things!" she laughed making him shook his head and she could see that he wasn't kidding. But what's wrong? Is it because he didn't like Patrick? Why? He seemed to be sweet and kind.. What could be the problem?

She nodded then he started to pull off winking at her making her smile. She waved at them 'till they were out of her sight then headed to where her car was.
