Chapter Twelve:
:----------------------------------:
As Sakura walked out of the classroom she was surprised to see Syaoran standing by the doorway waiting for her. "Syaoran…" Sakura said softly noticing his eyes were closed. Opening his eyes slowly he ruffled his already messy hair smiling cutely, "Sorry, I meant to wait for you but I kind of fell asleep. And…where were you yesterday I looked all over for you. This morning Kaori told me you were here so I stood here waiting for class to end."
Sakura giggled at his cuteness, she couldn't believe he waited here for her. "Thank you…for yesterday," Sakura said softly as she took his hand in hers. Syaoran grinned and replied cockily, "No problem, it was worth it for you." Sakura blushed at the comment and snuggled closer to him, "And sorry for disappearing yesterday, I wasn't feeling that well so I went home."
Syaoran stopped to look at her, "Are you sure you're okay Saku? Eriol told me you fainted at him yesterday…are you overstressed or something? Is Tomoyo still bothering you?" Sakura laughed causing Syaoran to frown. "Sorry, but you look so cute when your worried," Sakura replied smiling softly as she hugged onto him tightly.
Syaoran pretended to be mad but soon gave in and hugged her back, "Don't ever do that again, and just call me next time anything happens to you okay?" Sakura nodded her head as she kissed him gently on the lips startling him since it was usually him who made the first move. Leaning closer to him she whispered so only he could hear, "I love you Syaoran."
:----------------------------------:
"I can't believe I told him…" Sakura told Kaori as they sat together at lunch. Kaori shrugged her shoulders, "You probably didn't mean too, but I kind of think that's the best way for it to happen because without even thinking about it you know you love him." Sakura nodded her head as she looked up at the sky, "I hope me and him really last this time."
Kaori stared at her friend, "This time?" Nodding her head slowly Sakura slowly thought back to her memories of Ryu, and how it was so much different between the two guys she was with. "How do I know if Syaoran loves me back though Kay? He didn't say he did…" Kaori giggled, "I'm sure he does, just try saying it to him again, I'm sure he'll tell you he loves you back." Sakura nodded her head unsurely as her stomach churned, in a way she wasn't scared of his answer, she was scared of what could happen afterwards.
:----------------------------------:
Three days had past and Sakura never dared tell Syaoran she loved him again. She knew it was wimpy but she got nervous and changed the subject every time she got close to saying it. It was finally the day for her x-rays and she was scared of what she might uncover from them. "Are you okay today?" Yue asked her as she leaned down on the x-ray bed in the white hospital gown. Sakura nodded her head slowly, "As ready as I'll ever be."
The doctor nodded as he pushed some buttons, "Okay than, tell me if anything feels uncomfortable, just try to hold still when the machine is moving around okay?" Sakura nodded her head as she shut her eyes tightly blocking out all the noise and light around her.
She heard the machine whirring sound but she quickly blocked out the image and placed in a warmer one of Ryu…
:----------------------------------:
Ryu quickly backed away when she had said that. She liked him, she liked him, he thought excitedly until he noticed the tears that were slipping down her check. "W-w-what's wrong?" he asked her worriedly trying to wipe them away but she pushed his hand away. "What's wrong? I confessed my love to you, and you told me that the only person you could ever love is Sakura and that you only care for me as a sister. And now you make me repeat the past over again…do you not care how much you hurt me!" she yelled at him no longer caring about respect. Before he could retort back she was already out of the room.
:----------------------------------:
"Fuck…I don't know what to do Eriol!" Syaoran said as he continued to pace around the room. Eriol started rubbing his head, "I told you this would happen Syaoran…" "I know you don't have to rub it in!" Syaoran growled out at his four eyed friend.
Eriol sighed, "All you can do now, is back out of the bet and tell Sakura the truth." "Easier said than done," Syaoran grumbled out as he leaned into his hands frustrated. Eriol patted his friend's back, "But, I mean if you do love her you should do it soon, before she finds out from someone else." Syaoran nodded, "You're right, I should tell her tomorrow, I just hope she forgives me."
:----------------------------------:
"Miss. Kinomoto? Miss. Kinomoto you can get up now," the doctor told her as he continued to handle the slides. "Hoeee? It's finished already?" Sakura questioned sitting up. The doctor nodded, "Return in four days for your results." Sakura sighed and got up, "Are you sure you can't have them sooner?" The doctor thought for a moment, "All right make it three days, but come around 6ish." Sakura nodded her head and muttered a quick thanks before she scurried off.
Rushing out into the fresh air she gasped for breath, she hadn't even realized she was holding her breath as she walked out of the hospital. Quickly running to her car she opened the door and sat in not saying a word. Her insides were running, and her heart sped up to an intense speed. She almost jumped out of her seat when a soft ringing was heard and her song "Only Hope" played. Confused she continued to look around when she noticed a cell phone in the glove compartment.
Taking it out she quickly answered it unsurely, "Hello?..." "I see you've found your gift," Syaoran said amusingly. "Mou!" Sakura growled, "How'd you get in my car anyways?" Syaoran shrugged, "I have my ways, and so are you free today?" Sakura thought for a moment and nodded her head, but realizing she was on the phone she quickly replied, "Oh yeah why?" "I was wondering if I could come over and hang out…unless you don't…" "Sure thing," Sakura replied before he could finish. "Okay, see you soon," Syaoran said quickly and hung up.
:----------------------------------:
Sakura paced around the room nervously as she stared at the clock. It felt as though time froze itself and she was waiting for a thing that could never happen. She stared at the new cell phone impatiently as if forcing it to ring. Her heart was beating quickly as a small nervous smile appeared on her lips.
Although she was trembling, she felt the soft butterflies fluttering in her stomach excitedly. She wanted to see him so badly, she wanted him to come and see her. She wanted to be loved again. Tears softly fell from her eyes, she just wanted to be loved again.
:----------------------------------:
'Yuri…' his mind rambled on as he looked through the corridors. He needed to find her; he needed to tell her how he felt. How he felt now. He didn't care about what happened in the past, all he wanted was to be with her now. She was the one in his heart.
He continued looking when suddenly the door he was facing opened and a stern woman frowned at him. Her emerald eyes were glowing dangerously as a small frown was perched on the older woman's lips, "Ryu, I need to talk with you."
Ryu although conflicted between his search for Yuri; and listening to his savour quickly bowed and accepted her invitation. "What is going on with you and Yuri?" the mistress said in a strict tone as Ryu shuddered but quickly stood his ground.
"I love her,"
"No you don't!" the mistress's voice boomed through the room, "You do not love her and you can not. Don't you remember the agreement Ryu?"
:----------------------------------:
She jumped as the soft ringing rang again. She looked at the caller id and quickly levelled her breathing, she didn't want him to thing she was expecting him.
"Moshi moshi?" she answered smoothly as she heard his deep breathing.
"Hey Saku, how are you?" she heard his husky voice ask through the phone.
"When are you coming over?" Sakura asked
"Open your door," Syaoran answered causing Sakura to giggle.
"You have to stop doing that," Sakura sighed as she opened the door to a grinning Syaoran.
"But it's worth it to see the large smile on your face," Syaoran replied cockily as he gave Sakura a light kiss.
:----------------------------------:
"What agreement?" Ryu roared out.
The mistress sighed sitting down, "It's a shame you lost your memory."
Ryu pounded his fist on the table, but the mistress sat there unfazed, "What was the agreement?"
"Your mother promised me that if I took care of you and your best friend Yuri, you would marry my daughter as long as her father accepts. And you should know her father had accepted, you can't go back on your word now: she said calmly as she watched him cautiously.
Ryu slumped out of the room, thoughts rambling in his mind, so who was he really in love with?
