Chapter 9 Hospital Meeting

Everyone stayed silent as they watched the announcer looked over Syaoran. The paramedics soon arrived and checked for any broken bones.

Mei-Ling was the first one to snap out of the trance as she raced over to him. But before she could, Ying Fa stepped forward and blocked her with a furious glare in her eyes.

"Move it, you fat animal! I'm going to see my beloved Xiao Lang! So piss off!" the black-haired girl hissed, trying to push her away.

But the stubborn animal stood her ground as her nostrils flared in anger.

"That's it! Excuse me! The people here! Help me take this crazed animal out of this ring so I can see if my fiancé is all right!"

But, when Mei-Ling said fiancé, Syaoran came back to consciousness and darted his eyes over to her.

"MEI-LING! What the hell are you doing here! Why aren't you at China!" he roared with anger as he glared at her.

"I… I just want to make sure you're all right," she stuttered in fear.

"It was YOU who made me fall off Ying Fa! Don't you know that you never yell at someone who's concentrating! Besides it was YOU who made me faint! I fainted just by seeing you here! So much for making sure I was all right!" His amber eyes flashed in pure annoyance as he tried to pick up his right arm. But when pain overtook him he gasped and held on tightly to his arm.

The paramedics examined it and found out it was broken. As they help him stood, they took him away to hospital.

"Xiao…Xiao Lang! Don't leave me here!" the girl screamed.

"Can you stop screaming that name! You're upsetting my horse here!" a voice called out suddenly.

Mei-Ling turned around at glared at Sakura who was trying to calm Xiao Lang down. "Why would it! Besides you don't own me, I can do anything I want!"

"Because it's the name of my horse!" the girl said impatiently.

"What! How dare you take the name of the future prince of China! You filthy wench!"

Rolling her eyes, Sakura replied, "excuse me! At least I'M not the one who made your so-called fiancé faint!"

"You…You!" Mei-Ling stuttered in anger as she came over, ready to slap Sakura. But before she could, the white horse reared and she screamed.

"It's all right Xiao Lang," Sakura whispered as she soothed the enraged horse, who was now glaring at the girl that was mean to his Sakura.

Throwing her arms up in defeat she muttered, "why does every horse hates me!" Mei-Ling left and went after the ambulance.

"Maybe cause you're a bitch?" Sakura mumbled and Xiao Lang nodded his handsome head in agreement.

"We are all so sorry for the little accident that made us having to pause our show. But the show must go on right? Because Li Syaoran had fallen off his horse, he was disqualified. We willnow begin to call out the winners," the announcer called out.

"Third place goes to Number 51!"

The crowd applauded as a blond man on a dun horse, walked out the receive his trophy.

"Second is Number 28!"

The audience clapped loudly as the cute boy on the smaller horse came trotting out. But, because the trophy was too big and heavy for him to hold, his parents came running towards him, to accept the prize.

"Ok. Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. First place goes to…" the announcer paused for an effect to keep the crowd in suspense.

"First place goes to Number 24, Sakura Kinomoto!" he roared into the microphone as everyone stood up in their seats and cheered.

Sakura squealed in utter happiness as she walk forward on Xiao Lang, who had his head held high and arched in a very elegant way as the proud stallion walked towards the trophy. She accepted the prize with a beaming face, as she held it high for all the see.

The trophy was golden with blue, white, and red ribbons flowing down the sides of the cup shaped part. On it, was a carving of a rearing horse who's mane flowed around itwith pride.

As the announcer thanked everyone for coming Sakura and Xiao Lang walked off. When they got to the crossties, she dismounted and showed the stallion her prize.

"Look Xiao Lang! Our first trophy for the 1st place! And it's all thanks to you! I love you!" Sakura laughed out as happy tears rolled down her angelic features. She threw her arms around the huge neck of the white horse as she cried out, burying her head into his neck.

Xiao Lang gently blew on Sakura's honey brown hair and nuzzled her cheeks in a loving way. Smiling, she let go and got a brush. She hummed happily while she brushed him over.

"Thank-you Xiao. But I will go to the hospital later. I don't know why, but I'm pretty worried about Syaoran's arm," Sakura told him softly.

The horse snorted in annoyance.

"Aw, come on Xiao, you know I love you the most!" Sakura told him and kissed him on the forehead to prove it. The stallion nuzzled back making her giggle.

"Ok, I will have someone to send you back to the barn. See you later!" She waved at Xiao Lang as she took the trophy and told the stable boy to help her bring the horse back to the barn.

With the stallion wasset carefully in the trailer, Sakura put on a coat and hurried off towards the hospital. She raised her arm and called for a cab.

'Why am I worried about him?' Sakura thought to herself while she sat in a taxi.

At the hospital

When Sakura arrived, she went to the counter and asked a young nurse with blue eyes and blonde hair, "Hi, I'm Sakura Kinomoto and I want to know which room Li Syaoran is at."

"Mr. Li? He's on the third floor in Room 503," the nurse answered.

"Thanks."With a bow, Sakura went to the elevator and pressed the up button. When the elevator arrived, a girl with black hair walked out with a red nose and teary eyes.

"YOU!" the girl cried out suddenly, "you're the one at the horse show! What are you doing here!"

Sakura was at a loss for words at the moment. What was she doing here? Her mind thought quickly and she replied, "My cousin's in this hospital. I'm just here to visit him. What were you doing?"

The girl glared at her before brushing past. "None of your business," she hissed.

Sighing, she shook her head. 'What's the matter with her?' Sakura thought.

Shrugging, she went into the elevator.

When she on the third floor, she walked out and looked around the place. 'Room 503,' she thought as she walked towards the left.

After a while she was there, standing in front of Room 503. She brought her hand over to the doorknob, butthen stopped.

Why was she even here? What would he do if he saw her? What was she expecting to happen?

Thinking hard, she decided to leave instead. When she withdrew her hand, the door opened and a red haired nurse came out.

"Can I help you?" she asked with a confused look on her face.

"Uh…I…" Sakura blushed as she stuttered.

"What's wrong?" a voice called out suddenly making Sakura stiffened.

"There's a girl here in front of the door, Mr. Li," the nurse replied and moves out of the way so he could see.

"Sakura?"

Blushing harder she said, "yeah."

"Oh! You guys knew each other! Well then I'm sorry, I will leave you kids alone." And with that said she left, leaving Sakura with Syaoran.

Awkward silence falls upon them.

"So, why are you here?" Syaoran asked coolly, breaking the quietness.

Her face reddening even more she answered slowly in a small voice, "I'm not so sure myself, but… I guess I was worried about you."

"Huh?" he replied intelligently as his eyes widened and a small blush formed on his handsome features.

Another awkward silence falls upon them.

"Ahem," Syaoran coughed as he tried to sit up from the bed. But suddenly he winced and he struggled.

Running towards him, Sakura was now beside the bed. With a worried voice she asked, "you shouldn't try to get up like that! You're hurt! Are you ok?"

But then out of the blue, Syaoran reached forward and put her arms around her and pulled her towards him.

Grinning, he replied, "nope, not at all."

Gasping, she cried out, "you lied to me!"

"You know, this position we're in right now's giving me utter happiness!" he said childishly, as his grin widened even more.

Struggling from both the stone like grip and the blush, she tried to break the tight hold.

"Um, Syaoran?"

"Hm?"

"Can you please let go of me?" she asked.

"No way! Can we just stay like this for a while?"

"But…" she mumbled unsurely.

"Please?"

Nodding dumbly she agreed.

After a long while, Syaoran spoke, "You know, the first time I saw you, it felt like a cupid had hit me with one of his arrows. I guess it was love at first sight."

Startled, Sakura looked at him with a confused look in her eyes, "w…what?"

Shushing her, he continued. "yeah, I know. There's no such thing as love at first sight. At first I don't believe it either myself. But. When I called you before at the horse show, the moment you turned around, I thought I saw an angel."

Sakura rolled her eyes inwardly. Men. Typical men. Love at first sight. She could have snorted, but she doesn't want to be rude. So she did it in her mind.

Clearing his throat, he said something that shocked her so much, it might last for the rest of her life. He said, "Sakura, will you be my girlfriend?"

Dun dun dun! OOO suspense! What would happen? Will Sakura agree? Stay tune! Please review! I really want to know what you thought! Don't you ever dare think a single mere review, won't encourage me. Cause it would! So please do! Even one word such as 'nice' is perfectly fine! I don't care for the quantity, but the decency! Thanks! Hope you enjoyed this chapter of Horsing Around!
