Sorry for the long wait guys but I was too wrapped up about my grades that I wasn't able to update this story. Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I know my story isn't the best, but I'm glad you guys keep on reading it!

For the reviewers who didn't get it, Sakura and Syaoran were on their way to the finish line when a couple of guys attacked them. The one who attacked Li had a gun and the other one held Sakura still with a knife.

If you're wondering why people like that were there, I don't know either. I just want to get Sakura injured. Hope you get it now! Thanks for the review! (Ducks the flying tub Sakura fans toss her)

Chapter Seven

They were out in the woods with no one to care for them and her best friend is dying.

For Tomoyo Daidouji, it wasn't the best outing. She stared at the mess on her lap namely, her friend. She couldn't bring herself to believe that Sakura was on the verge of death. Nobody was around except her stupid classmates who don't know what to do with their lives.

Eriol was pacing back and forth, cursing under his breath. Tomoyo couldn't blame him.

"If she was with me, it wouldn't be like this." he muttered, his muscles taut. "If I was with her instead of Li, she wouldn't be DYING!"

"Stop it…" Tomoyo pleaded, tears threatening to spill from her gorgeous amethyst eyes. "Stop it, please…"

"I can't forgive Li for doing this to her! I want him to DIE! I want him to SUFFER!"

"STOP IT HIIRIGIZAWA!" Tomoyo blurted out, her tears spilling down endlessly. She couldn't bring herself to stop.

"Sakura's hurt enough already." she said in a much lighter tone. Eriol relaxed and sat down beside her, looking at Sakura sympathetically.

"Do you think if I was with her instead of Li, I could've saved her?"

Tomoyo was about to say yes but stopped herself, thinking about it.

Finally she shook her head. "No… I think Sakura would've ended the same way."

Syaoran Li stood up. His back was aching, his eyes were puffy and his face looked pathetic from all the dried-up tears. He didn't care. It was his entire entire fault.

He straightened up, clutching his head. He was still dizzy from the flow of events an hour ago. It was fresh in his mind. The way Sakura had pleadingly stared at his eyes, those emerald orbs showed fear and anxiety.

He could never forget that look on her face.

"Three more days." he muttered. Terada had said they would be watching them but where was the help? Sakura needed it badly but he could still here Eriol's shouts from where he was, which was not too far away.

Sakura was still unconscious and Eriol was still mad at him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid! He scolded himself, punching the nearby tree trunk. He had only been meters away and yet he hadn't done anything to help her. I was at gunpoint. He tried to persuade his mind but it didn't work.

His sobs erupted once again and Syaroan kneeled down the soil, tears falling down drop by drop, glistening under the sun's rays.

He saw the blade at a spot not far from him. He forced a small smile. "After hurting her, they just ran away…" he chuckled sadly but the laugh was choked down by his sobs.

"Why am I crying? Damn it!" He wiped the tears from his eyes. He was a man; he could take it he knew he can.

But he wouldn't.

"God, what am I doing?" he brought his hands to his knees, hugging them tightly. He dared not show up beside Eriol, his friend had the reason to hate him.

"Gomen nasai Kinomoto."

The sun was almost setting and still Sakura hadn't woken up nor had any help reached out to them.

By now, all the student body was gathering around them, looking at Sakura curiously.

"What happened to her?" they all asked, to which Eriol replied with a glare. "None of your fucking business now SCRAM!"

Flor appeared a second after beside them. "Kinomoto's hurt, isn't she?"

Tomoyo rolled her eyes, as if it wasn't obvious enough.

Flor looked at her classmate lazily. "Frankly, I don't care." she looked up at Eriol. "Eri-chan, where's Syao-kun?"

"I don't know and I'm not planning to." Eriol snapped.

"Hiirigizawa, I think we should take Sakura to the hospital." Tomoyo said quietly, trying hard not to kill the blond in front of her.

"If it was possible, I would've done that hours ago!" Eriol snapped. "But there's just no goddamn way out of here! we're practically in the middle of this fucking forest!"

He kicked the ground as if to emphasize his point. Tomoyo winced and Flor went out. she couldn't take all the worry about such a useless girl, instead, she looked for Li.

Tomoyo's tears were starting up again, she clutched Sakura tightly.

"M-Moyo?"

Tomoyo's head jerked up, and so did Eriol's.

"Sakura! Thanks God you're still alive!"

Sakura smiled weakly. "I won't die just yet, I still haven't gotten even with Li and Hiirigizawa for what they've done to me."

Tomoyo giggled. "You feeling sick?"

"Obviously."

Eriol kneeled beside the two girls and stroked Sakura's hair softly. "Hang on, 'kay?"

"Sure." was the auburn-haired girl replied before closing her eyes to rest. "Tell Li I'm sorry."

And then she slept.

Eriol's brows met. His frown deepened.

"Are you going to tell him?"

"No need."

They both looked up and found Syaoran standing behind Eriol. His gaze was fixated at Sakura. "Is she alright?"

Eriol snarled. "Yeah no thanks to you, bastard."

Syaoran lowered his eyes to the ground. "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to let her get hurt."

Tomoyo gave Sakura to Eriol before standing up. She took Syaoran's hand in hers. "Sakura knows Li, she's not blaming you for anything."

Syaoran looked up and gave her a weak smile.

"I'm still mad at you though." she followed. He chuckled lightly, grasping her pale hands tightly.

"You never give up, do you Daidouji?" Syaoran asked.

Tomoyo shook her head. "I'd rather die than give up. In life, you must have the determination to go on."

"I'm sorry for ignoring you."

Tomoyo smiled. "I'm going to be like sakura for once. Apology accepted."

They let go and looked at Eriol. "I still hate you." he proclaimed.

Syaoran approached Eriol with care. "I'll let you borrow my bike."

Eriol frowned.

………………………

Then cried. "I love you Li!" he blurted out, hugging his best friend tightly, sniffing like crazy. "I'm so sorry I ever doubted you!" he wailed, wiping the tears off his face.

He pulled away, then said in a serious tone. "But you still owe me your bike."

Tomoyo looked at eriol dubiously. "You were worse than I was Hiirigizawa."

Eriol shrugged, picking Sakura up in his arms before Syaoran could. "what can I say? Syaoran's my cousin."

Syaoran smiled. "Let's get out of here."

Eriol nodded happily.

"How about our classmates?" Tomoyo asked.

"Who gives a damn? Sakura's dying!" Eriol hissed. "Let's go."

"Whatever you two say Hiirigizawa, Li."

The two turned to her.

Call us Eriol and Syaoran from now on Tomoyo." they chorused.

Too much fluffiness… I hope you guys liked it! The next chapter: Lost in the woods! Stay tuned!
