Chapter 17 HOME SWEET HOME

(my pov)

"So you both didn't succeed in locking her up in the refrigerator?" The voice of a female screamed throughout the small and cozy room.

"NO." Both of the girls were now shaking like crazy. They had never seen her this way before.

"Useless." The female stood up and walked slowly towards them. (slap)(slap) Each person was given a slap of failure in what they were asked to do.

The female began to walk away ignoring the two girls that had been slapped hard and painfully.

"W...what about our salary?" The female stopped in her track.

"Didn't I say I'll give you your money when you have sucessfully succeed? Next time you better accomplish it or else you both will be dead yourself." With her final words she walked out the door as graceful as a woman can be.

Sakura's PoV

The place that I was infelt so warm. It didn't seem like I was in...

"A REFRIGERATOR!" With the sudden force of opening my eyes in broad daylight I was forced to close my eyes again. "Okay Sakura, count to ten and slowly open our eyes." After a count of ten I slowly opened my eyes. The white room waspretty familiar to me, but this time it was only me in one small room this brought back a lot of memories.. The day of my parents death... Before I knew it tears were already streaming down my cheeks. "Mom, dad, can you see that I am suffering? Where are you when I knew you both the most?" I quickly wiped my eyes, but everytime I stopped. new tears would just fall. My mind was out of my control and before me was the picture of the last time I saw my parents.

"Excuse me Miss. Kinomoto, are you okay?" someone interrupted me before I could picture my parents' lifeless body. I sniffed and turned to look at my right. There was a nurse who seemed to be around the age of fourty something. She had plenty of white and gray hair to almost tell how old she was.

"Yes," I answered with a sniff again.

"Would you like to eat something? I also have to get the doctor too now that you are awake." The nurse asked nicely and softly.

"Sure." I gave her a meak smile and whipped my tears again, this time it was success.

"Okay, I'll be right back," She smiled and left the room. I just hope the hosptial food was good.

"Oh Sakura, how can you talk about food when you are in the hosptial like this?" By the way how did I end up here? And what day is it or time? I looked out the window; it was sunny and bright outside.

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

"Hello Miss. Kinomoto, I see you are wide a wake. I am Dr. Carol." I shook hands with him. "How are you feeling?"

"I feel great!" He gave me a smile.

"That's good. You've been asleep for two days. If you were asleep today until tomorrow, that'll make it three days." My eyes opened wide. I've been sleeping here for two days straight? How did I end up sleeping for that long?

"It seems your body was very exhausted not only from being in a big refrigerator for so long, but also of fatigue. But now you're okay and don't use too much strength, you are still recovering. You can go home in the afternoon." Mr. Carol took my blood pressure and said everything was fine. He and the nurse left the room leaving me all by myself, of course with the food also that looked okay. I was hungry, anything worked when I was hungry.

I don't really remember what happened before all this except that I was in a refrigerator thanks to Sheng and I was in there for a good two to almost three hours, and then I saw Syoaron. Was he the one who got me out of the refrigerator or was I just dreaming? I'll ask him later when I get home.

I looked to my right and on the table there was a vase of Cherry Blossoms.

Syoaron's POV

(KNOCK)(KNOCK)

"Come in." I was at the office looking through the profiles on Sheng and Mindy. It didn't surprise me to see that they had a good back ground. 'Well not no more.'

"Hey brother." I looked up to see Melin.

"What are you doing here? You never come to the office." It was true, I rarely saw her or spoke to her. This was a surprise.

"I heard Sakura's in the hospital and you saved her? I've never seen you go soft on anyone besides Yuki, are you cheating on her with Sakura?" I closed the folder and gave her a smile, which I rarely did either.

"Now what makes you think I'm cheating on Yuki? Just becasue Sakura and I live under the same roof?"

"Well I think you have been getting to close to Sakura lately."

"How would you know?"

"Rumor has it that you are going out with Sakura and Yuki at the same time."

"And I should care because?" I can see Meilin was getting impatient. She was always like that. Well I think it's only me who gets her impatient.

"What if Yuki finds out?" I totally forgot about Yuki. She always had that understanding side of her, what if she misunderstands this one? Truth be told I did claim to be Sakura's boyfriend, but that was only so I could get in the ambulance too. I didn't have any kind of feelings for Sakura, did I? As far as I know I still have a great deal of feelings for Yuki, but it's just that lately she's been boring me. Probably it's because we don't talk much. Like me and Sakura...wait, what was I saying? I'm sure pretty soonwe are going to get alone just fine like old times, I'm sure of that.

"I'm pretty sure she'll understand. She's always been understanding. Speaking of that, maybe I should ask her to eat lunch with me. It's been a long time since I've ask her." I got off my chair and walked to the door. "Should you exit first or me?" Meilin made her way past me and through the door. Seems like she knows something I don't know about, but then again, she always talk the way she did. Always nosy and getting into someone's business.

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

"Syoaron, it's really nice of you to ask me out for lunch." Yuki gave me a sweet smile.

"Yuki, there's something I have to tell you." Her smile turned into a frown.

"What is it Syoaron?"

"Have you been hearing rumors about me and Sakura dating?"

"Honestly, I have." I gave her a shocked look. She didn't even confront me with those rumors. Well, she rarely did that too though. I remember one time she did about my secertary and me. That bitch, what a crazy bitch to start rumors about me sleeping with her.

"You didn't tell me you knew about it."

"I didn't ask you about it, because I knew such a girl with little standards will ever take you away from me." She smiled her sweet smile again, but I didn't get a warm feeling inside like I just did a while ago. Sakura had little standards? That's what she thinks. I think Yuki should also get to know Sakura.

"There's something else too." Yuki gave me another weird look.

"What is it?"

"I live under the same roof as Sakura. Now do you trust me when I say there's nothing going on between us only that we are friends?

She gave me a very shocked look. Her eyes were about to fall out and I was getting ready to catch her eyes for her if they fell out. Awkwardly, she gave me a small smile.

"I believe you. It's good that you're telling me this." She got off her chair and came over to me. She then gave me a hug. "I hope I never lose you."

"I don't think you need to worry about that Yuki." She looked at me and smile. "Let's eat, I'm straving." The feelings that I had felt for Yukithat were gone for a while, started coming back once again and I felt conforted. I was happy she didn't misunderstood me.

Sakura's POV

I was outside of the hospital talking to myself with the Cherry Blossom in my hands. "How am I going to get home? Where was Syoaron? I was at least expecting him to come and pick me up from the hospital.
wait, why would I need him to come and pick me up? I can get home prefectly fine without his help. I'm pretty sure he's busy with work." Some people who walked by looked at me like I was a crazy woman. I ignored them and turned to my right and walked to the nearest bus stop. "I hope I have some money." I wasn't carring any of my stuff at all. The only thing on me were the clothes I came to the hospital in. I was force to leave all my stuff at the restaurant. I dug into my pocket and only found two quarters, one dime and a penny. Well this wasn't enough to get a bus home.

"Sakura!" I turned around to see Tomoyo running towards me. I smiled a great big smile and ran to her. Before I could hug her she hugged as if I wasn't a being who could breath. "Tomoyo, you are killing me."

"I'm sorry Sakura, but I was so worry you were not going to ever wake up! Why didn't you tell me you woke up today!" She hit me on the arm. what happened to the "I was so worry about you?"

"Oww...I'm sorry. I forgot." I gave her a nervous laugh.

"How could you forget? I've know you since forever and you forgot about me? If I didn't come at this time, then maybe I would of have never caught up with you." I gave her an apoligetic(i don't think i spelt the word right.) look.

"Tomoyo, can you take me home?" Ignoring her questions.

"Of course Sakura, why wouldn't I?" I walked over to her car and she probably forgot that she was just lecturing me. Lucky for her, she had a car, andI didn't. "Sakura, where's your apartment?" Apartment? What was she...oh yeah I remember, I told her I lived in an apartment.

"Um Tomoyo, I lied to you, I don't live in an apartment, I live in a house with...with Syoaron. OW!" Tomoyo suddenly stopped the car.

"You live with who?"

"Syoaron." I was still rubbing my head because I hit the front part of the car.

"And you lied to me? I don't even know if I should on give you a ride home or not anymore."

"You have to take me home Tomoyo. I'm sorry for lying to you, I wasn't ready to tell anyone. Dont' worry you are the first."

A smile crept up to her lips. "Really?" I nodded my head yes. "Then I forgive you." What! But hey, I'll take it, as long as she doesn't kill me right?

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

"HOME SWEET HOME!" I yelled after Tomoyo had left and opened the door to my house.

"GOSH someone's loud today." Syoaron popped out of nowhere. I jumped back a good three feet almost falling down the stairs.

"You were here the whole time and you didn't even come pick me up!"

"I just got home, I didn't know you were going to wake up today. I was getting ready to come and visit you." He looked from my face to my hands. "Hey, aren't those the flowers I bought you?"

"I don't know, I found them in the trash and took them because they looked pretty."

"HA...HA...nice joke."

"I'm going upstairs."

"Here." He threw me my purse and my coat. "Welcome home." I guess I can forgive Syoaron.

"Since you haven't been here for two days now I've been breakfastless...can you cook something?" Sratch that, I'm never going to forgive Syoaron.
