Chapter 15

"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.

It's been 8 weeks since Sakura spoke Syaoron's name, and she had become more and more responsive. Whenever, Syaoron or Tomoyo, or anyone she knows was around her, her heart rate was calm and normal, but when she was alone, her heart rate would increase like people who feel threatened or anxious. Yelan, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoron took turns watching over Sakura so she'd rest easily.

Today, Syaoron was watching over Sakura, holding her hand and whispering the day's events to her, something that had become a habit. The doctors had become more hopeful that she wouldn't have permanent amnesia, since she'd been so responsive.

Tomoyo was at a fashion show and Eriol was her escort, as always. Yelan was again postponing the wedding. She had cancelled the catering and flowers, and reserved the hall for a year later instead, only because she didn't know when Sakura would be her old self again.

Syaoron was managing the company ok, but he'd have an easier time if his fiancée was next to him, helping him with the workload, and to just be there with him. While Syaoron was again daydreaming, two emerald eyes opened and looked around.

Sakura opened her eyes to see a white ceiling above her. She realized that she was laying down and turned to see what was in her hand. Another man was sitting next to her holding her hand…a very cute and handsome man for that matter. Where the hell am I?

Syaoron felt movement and turned to see Sakura struggling to sit up. Shocked but happy, Syaoron helped her up and leaned her back against the headboard of the bed.

"Sakura?" Syaoron called out quietly. She just stared back at him with a curious expression.

"Yes…." Sakura asked slowly. Syaoron just blanked out for a minute before registering what just happened. Sakura finally wakes up after nearly 4 months and she doesn't know who he is…GREAT

"Don't go anywhere, I'll be back…just…don't move" Syaoron said before he ran out to find the doctor.

5 minutes later, 5 doctors and Syaoron rushed into the room.

Doctor Iwamura went up next to Sakura's bed to talk to her.

"Ms. Kinomoto, how are you feeling?" He asked.

"Like a ton of bricks fell on my head." She replied with obvious sarcasm. "Where am I?"

"At Tokyo Hospital. Do you remember anything at all?"

"Sure, I go to Tomoeda Elementary school with Syaoron, he's my best friend. He kind of looks like that man behind you, except more shorter and less mean looking." Sakura replied cheerily.

"ELEMENTARY!" Syaoron shouted out before hitting his own forehead.

"Uhh…Ms. Kinomoto, exactly how old are you?" Doctor Iwamura saked.

"7 years old" She stated proudly. "Syaoron's a year older than me so he's 8." She smiled at everyone.

"Ahh…very well, would you like anything to eat?" He offered while standing up from the chair.

"CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM PLEASE…on a cone." She exclaimed before lying back down.

"Chocolate ice cream it is…anything else you want?" Doctor Iwamura asked.

"Yep…where's my mommy?" She asked.

"We'll go find her. Stay here and rest."

The 5 doctors and a very shocked Syaoron walked outside.

As soon as the door closed, Syaoron finally started to freak out,

"ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? MOMMY? 7?" Syaoron yelled out.

"Mr. Li please, this is a hospital. I'm afraid, that Ms. Kinomoto has only recollection of events that have happened before she turned 7. It's a very rare case of amnesia; because she now believes she is a child, I suggest you be very patient with her and not frighten away. We wouldn't want her to run off on her own." Doctor Iwamura walked to his office so he could right up a report.

Syaoron just leaned against the wall to try and think. Then he heard an earsplitting scream and he rushed back inside.

"What happened? Are you ok Sakura?" He asked.

Sakura was standing in front of a mirror with wide eyes and both hands on her cheeks.

"What happened to me? Why do I look so OLD!" Sakura cried out. "I want my mommy" Sakura started crying as she tried to get out to look for her mother. "Iwantmymommy!" She repeated over and over again as Syaoron held her to him to calm her down.

He picked her up and brought her over to the bed. Setting her down on his lap, he rubbed circles on her back to calm her down. He did this until she finally stopped crying and fell asleep. He was leaned against the headboard and soon, he dozed off too.

Around two hours later, Yelan had come to switch with Syaoron so he could rest awhile. She walked in and gasped. There one the bed was Syaoron sitting back sleeping with Sakura slumbering peacefully in his arms.

Sakura woke up to see herself in the arms of the same man who was in the room with her before. She immediately got up and turned to the door to see Yelan.

"AUNTIE YELAN!" Sakura cried out before launching herself at Yelan.

"Sakura!" Yelan choked out before being tackled by the younger woman.

Sakura got off the poor woman and looked at her for awhile.

"Auntie Yelan….why do you look so old!" Sakura asked innocently.

"Because I am old dear."

"Yea but you never looked this old before" She said.

"Yes I have Sakura. Look at you, you're an adult too."

Sakura's face scrunched up at this comment. She still didn't understand what was going on, nor did she want to.

"Where's Syaoron?" Sakura asked

"On the bed sleeping of course. He's right there."

"THAT OLD MAN? Syaoron's only a little bit older than me. That's not him." She looked around Yelan to see if she was hiding him.

"Sakura dear, what has gotten into you. Why are you acting like a child."

"Because silly auntie, I AM a child. I'm only seven." Sakura held up seven fingers in front of Yelan. Yelan's eyes went round as she rushed over to the bed and shook Syaoron awake.

"SYAORON…Get Up!" Yelan practically yelled in his ear. Syaoron shot out of bed and looked at his mother like she was insane before regaining his composure.

"Yes mother?"

"What's happened to Sakura?"

Syaoron's eyes went wide as he realized that Sakura was awake and looking him over like he was an alien.

"Well, she's awake, but only 7 years of her life woke up with her." Syaoron said slowly.

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?" Yelan yelled back.

Syaoron flinched as he told her everything. More yells and cries of despair from Yelan until finally a timid voice spoke up.

"Um..Auntie…Where's my mommy? The doctor said he would go find her, but I sorta fell asleep and I don't know if she came in or not. Do you know where she is?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura.." Syaoron started.

"Yes Mister?" Sakura answered back.

"Your mother…died…a long time ago…don't you remember?" Syaoron saw the tears that welled up in Sakura's eyes and the look of confusion on her face.

"Bu…But…she was with me yesterday. You saw her…we were at the picnic together. Mommy and Daddy were talking to Auntie Yelan and Uncle Xenon. … Where's daddy?" Sakura asked frantically.

"Sakura…honey..you're not 7…you're 19…almost turning 20. Can't you remember anything dear?" Yelan asked.

"W-What…23?…How? I'm not even finished with the 3rd grade. Where's my mommy?" Sakura cried out as she started looking into the other rooms to see if this was some horrible joke.

Syaoron ran out after Sakura to find her on the floor leaning against the wall crying, her head resting against the wall. Syaoron picked her up in his arms and held her to him, rubbing circles on her back again.

"Shhh…you're alright Sakura." Syaoron continued to soothe her until she finally quieted down.

Hearing her sobs die down, he stood and led her over to the bed and placed her in his lap again where she fell asleep. He stayed with her all day and night, never leaving her side.

Next Morning

Sakura woke up the next morning and a wave of panic washed over her as she remembered the past day's events. She didn't even notice that she was in someone's arms until she felt him shift and pull her closer to him.

Slowly looking up, and seeing Syaoron's face, for some odd reason, she felt safe. Her head didn't understand why, but her heart told her that it was right. She didn't feel like moving so she just continued to look at Syaoron.

He does look like Syaoron…maybe, I'm the crazy one, not them. But…Mommy…Daddy…how could they leave me… Sakura started sobbing softly, silent tears rolling down her face.

Syaoron had been awake for awhile but decided to pretend to be sleeping so Sakura could remain comfortable with just staying where she was without freaking out. Unfortunately, he couldn't hide anymore when he felt her tears.

"Sakura? Are you ok?" Syaoron whispered gently in her ear.

"Oka-san….:sobs:.."

Syaoron responded by holding her closer to him and gently running his hand through her hair in a reassuring way. "You'll be ok Sakura, I won't let anything happen to you"

Instantly, even without her knowing, Sakura's arms wrapped around his neck and she buried her face into his chest and softly cried some more.

While Sakura continued to cry, Syaoron was thinking of a way to make her stop. When they were younger, he'd sing to her and she'd stop crying to listen, maybe it'd work still.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath

And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Sakura's sobs quieted down immediately to listen to the song. Seemed familiar, but she couldn't place a name for it. Syaoron noticed that her sobs quieted down but he continued on…

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed

You're my survival, you're my living proof

My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

Sakura listened intently as Syaoron continued to sing to her. He looks so…different…why can't I remember…I wish I could.

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

And I've dropped out, I've burned up

I fought my way back from the dead

Tuned in, turned on

Remembered the things that you said

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your...

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The greatest fan of your life

Syaoron finished his song and looked down at his beautiful fiancée. She seemed to have forgotten why she was crying. Looks like it still works. Syaoron hugged her and kissed the top of her head. He heard her gasp slightly but decided not to say anything about it; she didn't seem to want to move anyway.

After 20minutes of silence, Syaoron finally pulled her away from his chest to look at her face.

"Feeling better?" Syaoron asked.

Sakura's only reply was to nod and blush a little. Seeing the red tinge on her face made him chuckle as he just hugged her again.

And that was how they spent the whole day.
