Chapter 14

…all three unconscious…

Ambulances came 30 mins later followed by the media. Reporters were everywhere reporting the accident of the vehicle containing the multi-billionaire businesswoman Sakura Kinomoto and the infamous British Bounty Hunter Eriol Hiragiizawa. Of course it was also reported that the American who kidnapped Sakura was found tied up in the front seat. Their current status was unknown and they had been rushed to Tokyo Hospital.

The news was on everywhere channel on television. Even the radio stations stopped their talk shows to report the new accident and follow-ups.

Li Mansion

"Breaking News…a car that held the recently kidnapped billionaire Sakura Kinomoto has been in a car crash with a delivery truck on the highway. Eriol Hiragiizawa, the renown bounty hunter from England was also in the car…it seems on a rescue mission for Sakura…"

Yelan, Fanran, Fuutie, Feimel and Sheifa had also been watching the news and left straight for the hospital.

Syaoron, who had been watching the news from the TV in his ward with Tomoyo, was now beyond shock and tried to get out of bed. Tomoyo was beyond tears at the news of her fiancé and best friend both being unconscious in the car crash. Seeing her distressed and considering she had consoled him when he had been in the same predicament, he comforted Tomoyo the best he could while praying to god that Eriol and his Sakura were okay.

This is all that psychopath's fault. When this is over, I'm gonna sue him till he doesn't even have a penny left.

---3 Days Later---

Syaoron was still in his bed, lying down at the doctor's request. He had tried many times to go to Sakura's room but the doctor refused to let him in saying he also needed his rest if he wanted to recover from the leg injury. Of course Syaoron argued back many times but in the end, Yelan had convinced Syaoron to rest saying she'd watch over Sakura and tell him if anything happened…

So you're all wondering…what did happen to Sakura, Eriol and the psycho…I mean Peter. WELL….Peter had a broken arm and a mild concussion, but the doctor's said he'd be fine. Unfortunately for him, as soon as he recovered, he'd be going to jail. Eriol had some internal bleeding and few bruises and fractures on his head but other than that he was fine.

Sakura…ahh well, no one said it had to be good news all the time. Sakura was once again, in a coma. The doctors said that she should come around in about two weeks. The coma was supposed to help her body recover and heal the internal wounds in her body. She had a fracture in her ankle and a few cuts here and there on her head and face. The main question was…would she have another case of amnesia?…She was hit in the back of the head, which is how she had lost her memory in the first car crash, but would it happen again?….

Syaoron silently prayed to himself that Sakura wouldn't lose her memory again. Those days that she had acted like she never met him before had been several knives being plunged into his hard, painstakingly one at a time.

:Somewhere inside Sakura's head:

Gosh it's cold in here…where am I? Syaoron? Tomoyo? Eriol?…Anybody! Why's it so dark?…why am I talking to myself like a crazy person. SYAORON!

IN SAKURA'S ROOM

"…Syaoron…" a weak voice mumbled out. Yelan immediately turned to stare at Sakura with wide eyes.

"Sakura honey? Are you awake?" Yelan asked softly walking over to Sakura.

"…"

"hmm… must've been my imagination." Yelan went back to reading her book.

Sakura…wake up soon.


All wedding preparations had been put on hold due to the fact that the bride and groom were both in the hospital. The wedding was going to be in a few months but who knew how long Sakura's coma would last, even if it was only to heal her body. And what if she did lose her memory, how long till she'd get it back again. Last time it had taken about 10 years… another ten years then?

A week had passed since the incident. Peter was in jail and was supposed to be tried in court in a month. Syaoron had a full recovery and was currently sitting in Sakura's room, watching over her. He hardly ever left, except when he had really important business meetings that could not be put off.

Syaoron was sitting next to Sakura's bed with her hand in his.

"Sakura, please get up…You have to yell at me for doing such a bad job with the company…" Syaoron joked. But his cheery façade only lasted a few seconds; his expression once again turned grim, and if it wasn't for his strong personality and masculinity, he probably would've broken down and cried.

Sakura had gotten a lot better, her cuts were healing well and so were her fractures. The doctors said her internal bleeding was taking long to heal which was why she was still in her coma. Occasionally, she'd subconsciously call for Syaoron, and Syaoron would rush to her side, in case she woke up.

Soon sleep overtook the fatigued, chestnut haired boy. He hadn't slept in days and couldn't help falling asleep. He dreamt about the past…their past…

Syaoron's dream

"Come on Syaoron! Let me see!" A small girl whined. She had short, straight auburn hair that was slightly pulled back by a pink hairband with little cherryblossoms painted on it. A gift from Syaoron on her 7th birthday.

"NEVER!" the young boy replied with mischief in his eyes as he ran away from the whining girl. His messy brown hair flying back as he ran down the hill in the park they were currently at. The families were having a picnic and he and Sakura were left to play.

Sakura tried to chase after him but soon stumbled and fell back. Her knee was cut and she started to cry. Syaoron looked back hearing the wail of a young girl to see his friend sitting on the ground clutching her knee. He ran as fast as he could towards the crying girl and plopped down right beside her trying to see the cut. It wasn't too deep but still, it was bleeding.

"Wait here Sakura, I'll get a band-aid from mother." Sakura merely nodded and sniffled as Syaoron ran back to where their parents were seated.

2 minutes later, Syaoron was sitting right beside Sakura again cleaning her cut with alcohol. She started to cry again from the sting and Syaoron blew on the cut to ease the pain and placed a band-aid over it.

"There all better." Syaoron said.

"Thanks Syaoron" Sakura sniffled and gave him a light peck on the cheek. They completely forgot why Sakura had been chasing him in the first place and instead laid back on the grass and looked up at the passing clouds.

"Syaoron?"

"Syaoron?" Reluctantly, Syaoron woke up from his dream to see Yelan standing next to him.

Syaoron straightened up and answered Yelan

"Yes mother?"

"The doctor would like to see you in his office dear."

Syaoron's face paled a bit before he nodded and walked out the room, taking one last glance at Sakura.

Syaoron walked down the hall to where Sakura's doctor was. He knocked before entering

"You wanted to see me doc?" Syaoron asked coolly.

"Yes, Please have a seat Mr. Li." The doctor gestured to the cushioned chair in front of his desk.

"So what's up?" Syaoron was trying real hard to keep up his cool attitude but inside, he was extremely nervous.

" Well, I saw that in the past, Ms. Kinomoto has had amnesia before in a car accident. Am I correct?" The doctor asked.

"Yea that's right. But what does that have…"

"Ah yes.." the doctor cut him off "Well, there is a high chance that Ms. Kinomoto could have another case of amnesia…only she may not recover from it…ever." The Doctor switched on a screen with x-ray pictures of a human brain on it.

"See here." The doctor pointed to a lower region of the brain, "This is normally where humans store their memory. Unfortunately, this region of Ms. Kinomoto's brain was impacted much harder than the first time. It could be damaged permanently."

"So…what are you trying to say…are you telling me that Sakura…won't remember anything?…even me?" Syaoron's voice was steadily rising and slightly shaky.

The doctor had an expression of deep sorrow and said, "I'm very sorry Mr. Li." He turned off the screen and left the office to go on his rounds.

Alone, Syaoron finally broke down. It was way too much pressure, running the company, trying to win this case against Peter, taking care of Sakura, hoping and praying that she'd be okay and to finally learn that she may never recover. Tears started to fall involuntarily from Syaoron's amber eyes. He recomposed himself and slowly walked back to Sakura's room. Yelan was out somewhere and he was left in the room alone with Sakura.

He sat in the seat next to the bed and took Sakura's hand in his again.

"Sakura…please..wake up" Syaoron whispered as he caressed her face with his other hand. "I…I need you…please…wake up." Syaoron buried his face in Sakura's neck and cried as he held onto her like his life depended on it.

Yelan and Tomoyo, who had been standing outside, started crying as well, hearing Syaoron's quiet confession. Suddenly, they both gasped. Sakura's arm's moved and hugged Syaoron back, but how could that be? Her eyes were still closed.

Syaoron felt a pair of arms on his back and turned around to see if anyone was there. Then he saw Sakura's arms fall back to their place.

"Sakura?" Syaoron called.

"Syao….ron" Sakura mumbled out. But she was still unconscious. Still, this small gesture lifted Syaoron's hopes up, knowing that his Sakura was still somewhere…not gone…just sleeping.
