Chapter 29 Back to Tokyo
"I have how many broken ribs?" I couldn't believe it!
"Three. It'll take probably a month or longer to heal." Doctor Rylan explained.
"But school starts in a month! I can't go to school with a broken rib! No correct that, three broken ribs!"
"He said they'll heal in a month geesh Sakura, just take good care of yourself." Syaoron rolled his eys at me.
"Yes, if you do take good care of yourself and eat right your body would heal quicker, maybe less than a month." I felt better hearing that.
"In an hour, the ambulance will be here to take you two back to Tokyo so be prepare for that." Doctor Rylan annoucned and left the room.
Tomoyo and Eriol had already went home, because Syaoron practically dragged them out and forced them to go home. That was nice of him.
I was in a wheel chair, because everytime I tried to even stand up my legs would hurt like hell. Besides, the nurses wouldn't even let me walk, so even if my legs didn't hurt I still had to take the wheel chair.
"Syaoron, where's all of our things? You know, the camp stuff." I asked Syaoron as he pushed me back to my room.
"Eriol and Tomoyo grabbed it before they went home. Don't worry. How are you feeling?"
"For the tenth hundreds time, I'm fine." Syaoron had been asking that every since I've woken up this morning. Now it was closed to 11 am and he still doesn't believe me that I'm really fine.
"Liar. You look awful, how can you be fine?" And that was his reason for not believeing me when I said I was fine. He said I looked awfull. Will can't a person who looks awful be fine? Or do they have to feel like how they look? Syaoron, you hard-head.
"Syaoron."
"What?"
"Nothing."
A couple of seconds went by as we continued on our way to my room.
"Syaoron."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Another couple of seconds passes by.
"Syaoron."
"WHATTTTTTTTTTTT?"
"I want some ice cream."
"Stop acting like a kid."
"Geesh, all I asked for was ice cream, not candy."
"Same thing."
"They are not."
"Yes they are little Sakura."
"Don't call me that."
"Okay, little Sakura."
"Look at who's acting like a kid, little Syaoron."
"Sakura."
"What?"
"Nothing." And he laughs his ass off. That wasn't even funny. He sucks at jokes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Our ride is here." Syaoron said as he entered the room. I was staring out the window waiting. Waiting for this slow person to return and it took him longer than forever.
"That was fast." Syaoron came behind me and I unlocked the brakes. He pushed me to the entrance of the hospital.
As we go nearer and nearer the entrance there were two people there waiting for us. There was a stretcher also. I guess I can't ride back on my wheel chair.
"How am I suppose to get up there?"
"Get up and get on it." Came Syaoron's reply. I shot him a death look.
I rolled the wheel chair closer to the stretcher and braked it.
Before I could stand up a hand pushed me back down on the wheel chair. It was Syaoron.
He put his left arm under my legs and his right hand around my shoulders. He lifted me up from the chair easily. Fear of him dropping me I put my arms around his neck. The only thing I could do was stare at him as he lifted me up and layed me down on the stretcher.
I released my holding on his neck as soon as I felt my bottom on the stretcher. Syaoron took his left hand and with his right hand, he slowly lowered my head. Before he went for the wheel chair, he gave me a smile and winked.
I felt my face turning warmer and warmer. Pretty soon it was getting hot. Was it just me only?
The two men pulled me into the ambulance and Syaoron sat in one of the seat next to me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The ride back to Tokyo was long and very boring. Syaoron and I barely spoke to each other. Most of the time he was staring at me and I kind of felt uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at?" I asked for the fiftyth time.
"You're big head." And that was his reply for the fiftyth time.
"Syaoron, do you have any water on you?"
"Yeah, my cells are made out of mostly water. I'll ask them." Syaoron, you suck at joking.
"Don't be stupid."
"Hello cells, do you have any left over water that Sakura can drink?" He looked like a retard.
The guy that was in the back with us was giving weird looks at Syaoron, but at the same time he seemed to be holding in his laugther.
"Yeah, okay. I'll tell her that." Syaoron, he still looked like a retard. "They said why can't I just give you the bottle of water in my pocket? I guess I'll be nice and let you drink out of it." Syaoron gave me his first dorky smile and pulled out a water bottle from his coat pocket.
He looked kind of cute with that smile. I just wanted to wipe it off!
I took the water bottle from his hand and drank out of it. I took a big drink and half of the water was gone.
Syaoron gave me a scowl after I handed it back to him. He didn't say anything as he closed the water bottle.
"I learned something just now." Syaoron spoke.
"What?"
"To never share a water bottle with you ever again."
"What?"
"You drink too much."
"Can't you even give a patient some pity?"
"Yes, but not you."
"Why?" Hello! I have three rips that are broken and my face has a couple of sitches; my arms and legs are bruised and you can't even pity me?
"Because, you called me a retard."
"I did't call you a retard. I said you looked like one."
"Exactly."
"What?" He was confusing me. I hate him now.
"Take a nap."
"Why?"
"Because you'll arrive there faster if you take a nap."
"Just like before."
"Yes, just like before."
"Okay, I'll take a nap." I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, but I couldn't.
I kept my eyes closed though and I stayed silent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sakura, wake up, we're here!" Who was that? Some one was shaking me. "Five more minutes."
"Did you forget where we were going? Wake up."
"Syaoron, just five more minutes."
Before I knew it I was moving. 'Why was I moving?' I shot my eyes opened and saw the ceiling above me moving also. I turned to my right side and saw Syaoron moving alone with me.
"Psst, Syaoron." Syaoron looked at me.
"Where are we?"
"Do you still feel any pain through out your body?"
"Yes."
"Then, we're at a Tokyo Hospital."
"We're there already?" I came into realization that we both were on our way to Tokyo.
"Yeah." We finally stopped and then I started moving again. I didn't feel like lifting my head up and look at the surroundings. I'll just wait until I get into my room.
"Sakura, I need you get up and sleep on the bed in the room." Syaoron said.
I lifted my head up finally and we were already in a room for me to stay in while I was in the hospital. The stretcher was right next to the bed and I quickly and as unpainfully as I could and got on the bed.
Pretty soon a nurse was at my side putting in the IV needle and I felt a bit of a pain as she stuck the needle in. This thing behind me was pumping out some smoke, but it was smoothing.
"The doctor will be with you both shortly." She said and left the room.
I gave looked at her retrieving back and as soon as she left the room my gaze fell on Syaoron. He was standing behind the wheel chair looking at me.
"Are you feeling fine?" He asked.
"Yes I am." I answered and this time he didn't call me a liar.
"Sakura, do you want me to call Tomoyo and tell her you're here in Tokyo?"
Syaoron was being nice.
"Sure." I gave him a smile and he returned it back. He left the room leaving me alone.
I looked around the room I was in now and it was about the same size as the first one I was in. Instead of a round table being at a corner, it was almost in the middle of the room, and there were three chairs surrounding it.
To my left there was only one window and the shades were up. The sun was shining brightly into the room and warming it up a little, even though the air conditoner here worked like heaven. A little too much like heaven, because I was chilly.
After a while the door opened and a male doctor walked in. I was hoping it would be Syaoron, but to my luck it wasn't.
"Hello Sakura, how are you feeling?" He asked.
"Fine."
"By the way, I'm Doctor Lin." Although I was still in pain when ever I moved, I lifted up my right hand to shake his right hand. "Your painkillers will working in no time. The pain will be bareable pretty soon. Other than that, you know you might have to stay here five to seven days depending on your progress of healing."
"Sure."
"If you need anything, just ring the beel."
"I will."
As soon as Doctor Lin opened the door Syaoron made his way in.
'Geesh, that was nice of him. He should of have let the doctor go first.'
Ignoring Syaoron's rudeness Doctor Lin walked out he door without a look back.
I looked up to find Syaoron dragging a chair towards me.
His mean expression was gone now and he seemed softer.
Syaoron settle his chair next to my right bedside and sat down. He leaned back to stretch as he opened his mouth to talk.
"I called Tomoyo and Eriol. They'll be here in no time. Tomoyo, I think she's going crazy."
"That's how she is." Tomoyo, the over protective sister that I never had.
"I got you something to eat also."
Really? I didn't see him carry anything when he came in. Well maybe it was because I was paying more attention to how Syaoron reacted towards the doctor then with what he had in his hands.
"What is it?"
"A subway."
"Really? Subway? Gimme, gimme."
"Stop acting like a little kid."
"All I wanted was the subway. No more."
"Sure."
Syaoron had one for himself also. We started off silent as we ate away our subway.
"Syaoron, you have something there." I stopped biting into my subway pointed at his face.
"What? Here?" He asked touching his face.
"No, come closer."
His face came in closer. A little bit too close. I was getting nervous now.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled and stopped at the sence of us.
I took my right pointing fingure and pushed his forehead back.
"Yah! What was that for?" Syaoron yelled rubbing his forehead.
"That was what was on your face! YOUR big forehead!" I yelled back.
"What's all that yelling about?" Eriol came in with a bag of something.
"I caught Sakura and Syaoron almost kissing." Tomoyo answered.
"TOMOYO!" I looked at myself and looked back at her.
I gave out a deep breath and dropped my head on my bed. "You're lucky I'm like this."
"Geesh, I was just playing around." Tomoyo stated back.
"What do you have in that bag Eriol?" I turned my attention to Eriol again and asked.
"Food. Tomoyo made me go shopping with her before we came."
"You came with Eriol? Ooooo..." I turned my attention to Tomoyo and Ooooo.
"Sakura, you're sick." Tomoyo countered. What kind of counter was that?
"You're sick. What am I thinking of?"
"Never mind. Let's eat!" Tomoyo changed the subject. "I bought sushi!"
Did she say sushi? YES!
I looked over to Syaoron as to why he was so quiet and he was gone.
No, he wasn't gone, he made it to the sushi before I even did.
'That cheater!'
"Hey Syaoron, save me some too!"
