Chapter Six: Without You

:----------------------------------:

It's funny looking back on all that has happened. The past…sometimes you wish you could just return there and relive everything. Honestly…I would never change anything that happened to me…sure it was painful and lonely at times, but I'm not sure…it feels just…empty when I think about my life without him. Even if he and I weren't meant to be…I don't mind…the memories are worth everything.

Syaoran sighed in frustration as he tried reading his lines again. "This is hopeless Eriol! And besides you make a shitty Cheryl." Eriol pouts, "I try to help and this is the thanks I receive!"

Syaoran slides down and sits on his car, "I don't get it why does she fucking care so much! I mean we're both from different groups, it shouldn't matter to her!" Eriol raises a brow, "You're just saying that." Syaoran glares at his friends as he stares back at his lines. "Shut up Eriol…what else was I supposed to do! What do you think Tomoyo would've done if I hadn't said that!" Eriol nodded, "Yeah, I know…but…don't you think that was a little harsh. I mean in your dreams? You're making her seem like SHE'S the one needing you…no offence buddy."

Syaoran glared at his friend again, "You're supposed to be on my side." Eriol laughed, "I am on your side buddy, just trying to get you to understand HER side." "Sure you are," Syaoran said nodding his head, "sure you are."

:----------------------------------:

The next day at school he kept trying to catch Sakura's eye but it was no use. To her it seemed like he wasn't even there. Frustrated he banged his head on the locker. "Don't get a concussion now," Sakura said out tiredly as Syaoran slowly raised his head. "Fuck, what do you want?" Sakura stared at him, "Wow…you're awfully friendly. Just because I'm not helping you doesn't give you a right to screw up the play Li…so I suggest you pratice instead of killing brain cells, besides it isn't healthy."

Syaoran glared at her retreating figure as he felt a hand touch his shoulder causing him to jump. "Fuck Eriol! Don't sneak up on me like that!" Syaoran snarled out glaring at the blue haired man. Eriol raised his hands, "Cool down Syaoran…god, if I didn't know better I'd say you are in love with her." "Shut the fuck up Eriol before someone hears you." Syaoran snarls out as Eriol chuckles quietly.

"Whatever Syaoran…I still say you can't win that bet, she's way out of your league. But honestly now buddy…if you like her we can pull the bet off…" but before Eriol could finish Syaoran quickly interrupted, "I don't like that private! I'll get her I swear…I'll get her good."

:----------------------------------:

The next morning Sakura sighs tiredly as she stares at her work. She felt as though all the body was drained from her body. Looking around the classroom she notices everyone's eyes focused on the test in front of them. 'Have to focus' Sakura mumbled to herself as she raised her pencil again. She slowly scratched the paper using the soft lead on the end of the pencil. She felt like there were voices echoing inside her head now. Looking around, she noticed that everything was slowly spinning around the classroom.

Shaking her head she looked back down at her test but all the words were blurred to her. Before she knew it the teacher yelled out, "Test over!" Everyone quickly ran to hand the test in and headed out of the classroom while Sakura stayed there in her seat unmoving. "Sakura…Miss. Kinomoto," the teacher asked nicely. Sakura looked up, "Your test please?" the teacher requested placing her hand out. Sakura nods her head as she slowly places the paper in the teacher's hand.

Before she could exit the classroom the teacher stops her, "Would you like to do a retest?" Sakura stops in her tracks, "Nani?" The teacher sighs, "You look a little sick you should see a nurse. You may retake the test tomorrow." Sakura slowly touches her forehead feeling it a little warm. Nodding her head she quickly exits the room before the teacher could take back what she said.

:----------------------------------:

Sakura had returned home earlier that day. Not that he cared of course. Sitting tiredly at his lines he looks up seeing movements but no sound. "Kevin…Kevin…SYAORAN!" Hearing his name he quickly stands up causing everyone to laugh at him. Sighing Mr. Terada walks over to him, "That was your cue Syaoran. It isn't enough that Sakura isn't here today is it? Would you like to leave too? The play is in one week people! We need to get this right!"

Sighing Syaoran shakes his head, he needed to focus get the thoughts out of his head. It wasn't that he REALLY noticed that the emerald eyed girl wasn't here, it was just she was the main girl and you have to notice when she isn't the one saying her lines in that innocently sweet voice.

"Calm down, I'll get my lines right!" Syaoran yelled back shaking his head again, he had to focus! Kaori rolled her eyes, "Come on Syaoran…Miss Sakura that much?" Syaoran stared up worried filled his eyes did she know? How much did she know? Kaori inwardly shivered, "Fuck Syaoran, stop staring I was just kidding…" Syaoran quickly stared back straight, what was he thinking?

:----------------------------------:

After the long practice he quickly headed towards Eriol's house, he needed as much practice as he could get. Once there he noticed Eriol shaking his head exiting the front doors completely walking past him.

"Eriol…Eriol!" Syaoran screamed grabbing onto his best friend. "Oh what?" Eriol said as he twirled around only to be right in front of Syaoran. "Fuck man, you're just a little too close," Syaoran grumbled as he moved back, "Fuck…what's wrong with you. You're acting as if you just got dumped." As if right on cue Eriol suddenly turns away, "What the fuck do you know Syaoran, everyone loves you."

Syaoran stood there confused, "What are you talking about man?" Eriol growled pushing his arm off him, "Think about it Syaoran…who doesn't love you? The whole female population at our school loves you! The private is almost in love with you too! And even people you've dumped still love you!" Syaoran stood there dumbfounded, "People I dumped…are you saying…"

"Yeah I am!" Eriol growled walking off, "She rejected me today okay Syaoran. She said she was waiting for you to ask her out again. And because of that she can't date any other guy. She's in love with you Syaoran…everyone's in love with you!" Syaoran stood there unsurely, he didn't know what to say, "But…FUCK Eriol! I've told her I would never get back with her." But Eriol continued to walk off ignoring his friend.

:----------------------------------:

Sakura groaned as she felt her insides churning. She really had to see a doctor, but she didn't have enough money to pay for anything at the moment. Wiping the sweat off her forehead she stared outside as the sun slowly set. Sighing she looked at the dangly charms by her wrist, "I think I'm starting to like him Ryu…he's changing…or maybe it's me who's changing? Would you be mad Ryu…?"

She watched as a brush of wind flew in through her window hitting her charm bringing a smile to her pink lips, "You're always watching over me aren't you Ryu?"

:----------------------------------:

"Where am I?" a guy groaned out as he touched his throbbing head. Looking around he noticed that he was in a while coloured room. "Where am I?" he yelled a bit louder when he tried to move he noticed that his whole body ached. Slowly a woman carrying a silver tray walked in, "Oh, seems you're awake Mr. Masha."

:----------------------------------:

A door opened emitting a fixture of light into the room. In the distance a woman sat by the fireplace her long ebony hair flowing behind her, "What do you need?" her smooth voice rang through the large room. "He's awake mistress." The mistress stood up, a light smile appearing on her face, "Than it is almost time isn't it?" The other girl, Yuri shook her head, "But mistress…he doesn't remember who he is."

:----------------------------------:

The next day Syaoran watched his friend unsurely as he walked up the school steps. "Hey man," Eriol said softly so the others wouldn't hear, "Sorry…I just…" Syaoran shook him off, "Don't worry I understand, just get your money ready." But with that comment Eriol stopped him, "One last chance Syaoran…" Syaoran looked up grinning from ear to ear, "I don't like her Eriol chill."

With that Syaoran walked off leaving a shaken Eriol behind. For some reason, he felt as though this would all end badly. Shaking his head he followed his friend, he didn't want to hear about Meilin getting drunk anyways.

As he reached near his locker as he heard Syaoran's cocky voice. "Sakura…I'll show you next week that I can do the play." An annoyed Sakura rolled her eyes, "You're being childish Li…the point of me telling you to pratice was for the good of us all, not for me." Syaoran grinned, "But, you inspired me and please call me Syaoran."

Sakura shook her head slamming her locker, "No, now LI," she said emphasizing his last name, "I shall see if you really did improve and until than, I have to go to class." She started walking off when Syaoran stopped her, "Just you wait Sakura."

Sakura laughed inwardly, as she continued to walk off, she wouldn't allow herself fall to a man like him.

:----------------------------------:

Turning the corner she was surprised when she felt strong arms muffling her. Suddenly she was released turning around sharply she was surprised to see the blue haired man. "What is it…err…" "Hiiragizawa, but you can just call me Eriol…" Eriol started when Sakura cut him off. "No thanks, I should just stick with Hiiragizawa-san." Eriol chuckled, "Whatever suits you, I just have something to tell you." Sakura looked at him confused, "What…"

"Are you sick?" Eriol asked her, staring into her emerald pools. Sakura looked away, "What are you talking about," she turned to walk away when he grabbed her arm, "You're sick…I can see it, every time you walk into a classroom you always take one step back. It's because of the light anyways." Sakura's whole body tensed how much did he know? "Why does it matter?" Sakura questioned him staring him back in the eyes.

Eriol released her, "I was just curious if the rumors were true." Sakura frowned but quickly composed her self, "Well now you know." With that she quickly walked off hurrying to class. Eriol stood there surprised shaking his head, "Fuck…what are we doing?"
