10, November 2005 : Chapter 07, I Don't Know...


Syaoran walked through the park with Eriol, finally discussing the events that had occurred over the past few days. Syaoran was holding out another pastel note that he had gotten.

"It says Thank you for the brochures in my mailbox. But I haven't put anything in any mailboxes. It's been my dream to visit Hong Kong. I'll leave with you anytime. This girl is yours!" Syaoran sighed pointing to the neatly written note. Eriol recited the last line of the letter to himself.

"That's pretty bizarre..." Eriol continued, leaning against a tree.

"It's like this person thought I'd send messages-" but Syaoran was unable to finish his sentence. His cell phone began to ring.

"Yea?" he answered in no mood to talk to whomever was calling him. Suddenly his face faltered. "What?" Syaoran hung up the phone after a moment and looked back to Eriol. "Sakura's hurt. I have to go to the hospital." His words were urgent and hurried. Before Eriol could reply Syaoran was off and running as fast as he possibly could.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran burst through the hospital doors looking for anyone who could point him the right direction.

"Dr. Li?" Syaoran whirled around to see a doctor standing behind him holding a chart.

"My wife?" He said, his eyes were pleading.

"I took care of her. She's fine. The doctor replied. "She was knocked over by a moped. The driver fell off and ran, leaving her there." Syaoran got up the courage to ask the question on the tip of his tongue- which now felt to big for his mouth. With a gulp, it came out.

"And the baby?" the doctor looked down when Syaoran asked him the question. He shook his head before giving him the answer that no doctor wanted to give.

"The shock was very bad." Syaoran could already feel tears spring to his eyes he took a deep breath, bracing himself. "I'm sorry, but she miscarried..." Syaoran had to lean against the wall for support, racking his fingers through his hair as the tears started to fall.

"God, no..." He choked out in a whisper. Eriol walked through the door to see Syaoran crying and stood still for a moment unsure of what to do. Syaoran saw him and went to him.

"Eriol... the baby..." his voice broke and Syaoran gave him a tight embrace. There was nothing else he could do. Syaoran cried on his shoulder for what seemed like ages. It was truly a tragedy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A bruised Sakura sat on the couch with her knees pulled up to her chest, staring blankly out the window.

"I've gotta get to work but we could go out first. Getting out of the house will do you good." Syaoran told her quietly. He knelt down in front of her and caressed her cheek softly. It had been four days and she had essentially been an empty shell. "Eriol told me about a little café downtown. Twin Bells. Would you like to go have coffee there?" Sakura looked down shaking her head.

"I don't feel like it." she whispered. Syaoran sighed and stood up.

"Eriol might come over to visit you this afternoon. He's worried about you." Syaoran said. Sakura didn't move. He bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you later..."

After a while Sakura finally got up off the couch to get herself a mug of honey milk. However, on her way to the kitchen a curious object caught her eye. A pastel envelope had been slipped under the door. She went over to it and picked it up, noticing it felt a bit heavy. Syaoran's name was written in beautiful cursive on the front. Sakura opened the door to look out, but nobody was there. Wanting to see what was inside, Sakura opened up the envelope carefully. Within was a key attached to a tag with her husbands name written on it.

Her hands were shaking and tears threatened to spill as she pulled out the letter that accompanied the key.

My Love,

I dream of this trip you suggested.

Come join me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Stop lying to me! Syaoran, your name is on this key!" A bruised and teary eyed Sakura cried as she held a key up to Syaoran's face.

"Sakura, I can't explain it, please listen to me." Syaoran tried to calm her down. Who had left that damned key there? She threw the key to his feet and stormed off. Syaoran followed still pleading with her. "I have no idea where the key came from! I don't know about any damned trip!" Sakura began to throw her clothing into a bag. "The girl is crazy! She wants to destroy us! Please, Sakura! Don't let her destroy us!" he cried but she wouldn't hear it. Sakura heaved her bag up off the bed and turned to face him.

"I need peace and quiet. I just don't know anymore." she whispered and pushed past him out of the room.

"Sakura, I do know. We have to stick together. We love each other." Sakura had reached the front door and she turned to face him one last time.

"I don't know..." she opened the door and walked out. She was going to stay with her father, Fujitaka where she could be at peace.

Syaoran walked into their bedroom and sat on the foot of the bed. He sat there through the night, trying to figure out what to do.

The next day at work he was completely out of it. Eriol entered his office to find him looking off into space.

"Is the doctor in?" he joked. Syaoran snapped out of it.

"Sorry. I didn't get much sleep last night. I'm pretty drained..." he groaned. "I should take Sakura on a trip."

"Not a good idea." Eriol replied, playing with the pewter heart model that sat on Syaoran's desk. "Just let her breathe. I'm sure her father is taking good care of her." Syaoran sighed at Eriol's words. He felt helpless. Both their heads snapped up when Chiharu walked in holding a bouquet of purple roses.

"Dr. Li, these came for you." she said biting her lip.

"Get rid of them." he said in a voice devoid of any emotion. "Get rid of them all. I don't want any more gifts." Chiharu shrugged and walked out the door.

"Have you spoken to her at all? Is she eating?" Syaoran said looking to Eriol. He wanted to know how his Sakura was.

"Syaoran, relax. I'm sure she's fine. Just give her time." A knock sounded on the door.

"What now!" Syaoran shouted. Chiharu's voice came from the other side.

"Urgent call from the hospital!" Syaoran sighed and picked up the phone from his desk.

"Yes?" he paused for a moment listening to the words on the other end. "Wait a minute, I'll check." he said getting up quickly and walking out to Chiharu's desk. "Chiharu, did you send them Mayuka Yosho's files!" he shouted giving her an angry look. She was putting the bouquet of roses in her bag to take home.

"Of course I did." she replied simply.

"They had to postpone the operation today." he said, looking through the filing cabinets.

"Dr. Li I'm sure I sent it." she said as she began to go through the papers on her desk, only to have Syaoran slam a file down on top of her hands.

"Then why is his file right here!" He shouted. Chiharu gave him a dumfounded look as he stormed into his office to grab his coat and head to the hospital.

"Dr. Li I was sure I sent the file over! I swear it. I sent all the other hospital files over." she chased after him but he would hear none of it. Syaoran whirled around and snatched the filed from her hands.

"You're fired Chiharu. Fired!" Syaoran stormed down the stairs leaving Eriol bewildered as to what had just occurred and Chiharu in tears. She left the office after collecting her things and got on the bus, leaning her head against the cool glass. Her tears were still streaming and her eyes were red and puffy. She sniffed the flowers to try and make herself feel better. There, her nose touched something that definitely did not feel like a rose petal.

Chiharu pulled away and there, nestled between two roses in the center, was a pastel colored envelope. She took it out and examined it. Syaoran's name was written on the front but she was so angry with him that she didn't care. She opened up the letter and inside she found two plane tickets. She looked closer to see what they were for.

"Tomoeda to Hong Kong..." she said to nobody in particular. She smiled and wiped her tears away. "Looks like I'm going on a trip."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran sat explaining the way thing worked to his new secretary, Haruna Orikasa, who was taking notes.

"...We're closed on Wednesdays because I'm at the hospital then. If you have any other questions please ask me."

"Thank you doctor." came her stiff reply. She was much older than Chiharu and hopefully much more responsible. Syaoran nodded.

"You can send the next patient in." he said as he entered his office. Moments later he was joined by a young man with longish white hair and silver eyes.

"You can have a seat right there." he said kindly. Yue sat and Syaoran picked up a piece of paper that he looked over. "I haven't seen you here before. What's the problem?" he asked.

Nothing with me, sir," came Yue's ever so serious reply.

"Oh? Than who?" Syaoran was slightly confused as to why the younger boy was there.

"A girl... A girl that you used and dumped. Does that ring any bells, Doctor?" Syaoran's eyebrows furrowed together as Yue continued to speak, leaning towards him. "I love her and I will not sit around a let you treat her like that!"

Outside the office the Haruna was piling some papers up when she dropped them at the sound of shouting back inside.

"Well she didn't understand and it's driving her crazy! You're destroying her career! Why don't you get some balls and tell her face to face!"

"I'm sorry she didn't understand, but I have nothing to say to her. Now you need to leave. I have patients waiting for me." came Syaoran's voice. She tried to restack the papers but the door to his office flew open and she couldn't help but watch.

"You're a real creep." the younger patient hissed.

"Sure." Syaoran bit back. As Yue walked out of the office he shoved another stack of papers off Haruna's desk before looking back.

"You coward." Eriol walked in to see Yue knock the papers around. He had heard the shouting in his office, through the wall.

"Whats going on out here?" he asked eyeing Syaoran as the boy pushed past him and down the stairs.

"Nothing. That was just Chiharu's boyfriend." he sighed in response before retreating back into his office and shutting the door behind him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran sat staring at the red wrapped package that Haruna had just had placed in front of him.

"This just arrived for you doctor. Don't forget you have to be at the hospital by noon today." Syaoran nodded, dismissing her and she went back out to her desk, shutting his office door. Syaoran began to peel away the red paper revealing a large white box. Lifting off the lid he saw pink tissue paper wrapping whatever was within. Syaoran's face contorted into a horrified expression and he yelped as he got up from his desk, backing away from the package.

Inside he saw a human heart that had been pierced by an arrow. 'What the hell is this!' he cried in his head as he tossed the lid back on the box and ran it out to his secretary. "Get rid of this! Immediately!" she nodded and ran off with the box feeling very woozy when she caught a glimpse of what was within. Syaoran sat back in his chair pulling at his hair in frustration.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you alright doctor?" asked Nakuru Akizuki. His eyes narrowed as he got up and grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her.

"What the hell do you want you nut case?" he growled. "What the fuck are these gifts? Are you trying to destroy me?" he shouted. Nakuru shook her head and cried out trying to get away from him. "Do you want to drive me crazy with your notes and gifts!" at that moment something in Syaoran snapped and he slapped Nakuru hard across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. Eriol ran in and grabbed Syaoran as he tried to grab her once again.

"Let go of me!" he yelled trying to escape Eriol's firm grasp. Haruna ran in and helped Nakuru up off the ground.

"You sick bastard!" she shouted, her voice dripping with malice towards Dr. Syaoran Li. The secretary tried to calm her but it wasn't working. "You'll hear from my lawyer!" she shouted running from the office followed by a panicked Haruna.
