Slave 4 you - Chapter 8
'Sick daze with you' - day 5
Hey hey hey! I am meeting all of your demands as soon as I can, and my exams are finally over...for now that is. Well lets get back to the teens with troubled hearts...
Chapter 8 -
The next morning, Sakura woke up bright and early to go and see Syaoran. For some reason she was so excited to see him but she shrugged off the feeling with a bright smile. After getting ready, she went downstairs.
" Hey squirt, where do you think your going now?" Touya demanded.
" To the arcadian, where else?" Sakura said sarcastically.
" Just be home early tonight, because dad is finally coming back home and everything needs to be perfect for when he returns".
" Since when did you care how clean the house looks" Sakura asked amused
" Since there is a concert with B.O.A and I don't want to miss it tonight and I figured that if dad was in a good mood he'll let me go" said Touya with stary eyes.
" Whatever!" Sakura yelled as she ran through the door.
" MAKE SURE YOUR HOME EARLY!" Touya yelled to an already gone Sakura.
As Sakura strolled into the arcadian a few guys were sitting down making googly eyes at her but she didn't pay any attention to them at all, her main priority was knowing where Syaoran was today for some strange reason. (A/N) Not that strange at all, if you get my meaning.
As she went in she saw Eriol at the counter.
" Finally, one day I see your at work" Sakura teased.
" Yeah" Eriol laughed.
" So, what can I get for you" he asked.
" I was just wondering about Syaoran, and why he is'nt here today" Sakura said shly.
" Why?" Eriol asked with a grin appearing on his face.
" Well...last night when he phoned me he said that I shouldn't come near him, today because he is sick and he does not want me to catch it..." she started.
" But..." Eriol continued for her.
" But I think that he is seeing another woman today" Sakura said as her heart flashed with venom that thoughts of Syaoran with another girl, entered her mind.
" Sakura, you okay?"
" Yeah...um...sure...what were you saying again? she stammered.
" Oh, I was just saying that he really is sick".
" How do you know?"
" He told me the same thing, but at the time I didn't beleive him. I thought he was just being too lazy to get out the bed, but when I went round there to see him, he was tucked under at least seven blankets and sneezing from here, to Timbucktoo. He is in an awful state Sakura".
" Well if what you are saying is true then I am going round there right now to make him feel all better" Sakura said determined.
" If you say so, but get out my way you little soldier because there is a long que right behind you" Eriol said as he pointed to an endless que of angry customers.
" WELL SORRY!" Sakura yelled to all the angry customers in her angry tone.
Then a little child; who was waiting so long for an ice-cream and could not get one because Sakura was in the way, ran up to her and kicked her on the shin. Sakura screamed in agony as she fell to the floor.
" You big mean lady. 'Dis' is ice - 'kweem' we are talking about, 'an' I am 'reely' 'hungwee'. The child yelled to Sakura as she sat there in pain.
" Why you little freak!" Sakura muttered under her breath.
" You okay Sakura?" Eriol asked in amusement.
" FINE ERIOL...JUST, POSITIVELY, ABSOLUTELY, INCREDIBLY FINE!" she yelled.
She got up from the floor, dusted herself off and walked out of the arcadian. As she was limping to Syaoran's apartment, she made a mental note to herself:
Sakura P.O.V
MENTAL NOTE: Find something new to do to Touya when he calls me a monster because this really hurts. If I am feeling this much pain from a four year old, then imagine the pain he feel's from a sixteen year old like me?
Normal P.O.V
As she limped up the stairs she noticed that his door was locked. Now he would probably be in bed sick as could be and she didn't want to disturb him, so she slipped her credit card from her wallet and shimmied it through the latch until it snapped and unlocked the door. She walked through the apartment to his bedroom, and then she was him. He was actually telling the truth, for there he was sick as a dog, wrapped underneath hundreds of blankets. She walked over to him and sat down on the chair right next to his bed side. She began to gently stroke his fore-head and realised that he had a tremendous fever. Syaoran was now slightly curious at who was stroking his head, he could have sworn he was in his house alone. He slightly opened his eyes to see his angel; Sakura. She looked really worried, but then broke an easy smile when she saw his eye open ever so secreatly.
Syaoran P.O.V
You really couldn't put one single price on her smile. It's priceless.
Normal P.O.V
" W...W...what are you d...d...doing here" Syaoran asked as he stuttered with illness.
" Sshhh. Don't speak, your ill. Eriol told me that you weren't feeling well, so I decided to come down here and look after; ignoring your protest that you don't want me to catch anything from you" Sakura chimed gleefully.
" B...B...but you m...m...might ca...ca...catch my cold" he strained.
" I don't care" Sakura whispered softly in his ear.
This sent chills down his spine for sure. He just kept staring at her, not saying a word. Without uttering one last word, Sakura got up gently off the chair and walked into his kitchen. A few minutes later Syaoran saw Sakura come in with some herbal tea and chicken soup A/N) I know that chicken soup is a really predictable thing for Sakura to give him but I only one person, work with me here people.
" Thankyou" Syaoran said gratefully as he took the bowl from her and began to eat silently.
Sakura loved watching him eat, weird but she just loved it - guess it's just unexplainable. After he finished, Sakura took the empty dishes from him and washed them. Afterwards, she fell asleep on his couch in the living room. When she woke up she looked at the clock which read 10:30pm-OH DAMN!
" Oh no, Touya said to be back early, they must be dead worried, what will dad say, he'll probably ground me for this century and the next. PHONE! PHONE! I NEED THE PHONE!" Sakura mentally yelled.
She quickly dialled in the number, and boy was Touya mad!
" WHAT PART OF 'BE BACK EARLY', WAS TOO COMPLEX FOR YOU TOO UNDERSTAND!" Touya yelled down the phone.
" I'm soo sorry Touya, I totally lost track of time I..I fell asleep on my friends sofa and..."
" I don't want to hear it, and now because of you, I have to miss the B.O.A concert and help dad unpack, seeing as you aren't here...oh wait dad wants to speak to you" Touya said as he handed his father the phone.
" Hi daddy" Sakura squealed.
" Sakura, you are in big trouble young lady" her father said in a deep tone
" I have been worried sick" he said.
" Where are you at this time of the night?" Fujitaka asked.
" A...at a friends house father" she lied.
" Oh really" he father said sounding unconvinced.
" Yeah it's true, her and her mother aren't feeling well, so they asked if I could stay over" Sakura was lying a little too much now.
" Oh really, is there an adult there?" he asked suspiciously.
" Of course there is daddy".
Sakura P.O.V
Well, Syaoran is almost an adult so that counts as well.
Normal P.O.V
" What's your friends name?" Fujitaka asked.
" What's with all the queastion's dad?" Sakura said a little too rudely.
" Don't answer me back young lady!" her father said beginning to turn sterner by the second.
" Sorry daddy, her name is um...Chan-mi" Sakura was perfect at this.
" I'm trusting that you aren't lying to me pumpkin" her father warned.
" I would dread to think it dad".
" Okay honey, but you come straight home in the morning, I am trusting you Sakura".
" Your the best dad, bye"
" Bye sweety".
After she hung up the phone, Sakura sighed loudly.
" That was a close one".
Sakura got up and went into the Syaoran's bedroom. There he lay peacefully asleep. Sakura climbed into the bed next to him and began to rub her finger tips ever so slightly against his cheeks. She wanted him to feel serene - even if he was asleep. She then began to sing him a soothing song:
Artist : N Sync (I know they are an old boy band, but this song is so beautiful)
Song : 'This I promise you'
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Syaoran heard Sakura softly singing and opened his eyes. To his luck, she didn't notice him open his eyes, so she continued to sing. Syaoran thought that he would melt in the soft structure of her voice. Sakura continued to sing softly:
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
At that moment, Syaoran had realised that the song was the exact way he was feeling inside about Sakura, but he couldn't tell her that, she'd probably just laugh in his face...or not?
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Oh I promise you...
After singing, Sakura glanced over to Syaoran, only to see him staring straight at her with a smile on his face, which made her blush.
" Please continue, it's a beautiful song. It really relates to the way people feel" he said.
" How much of me singing did you actually hear?"
" Pretty much all of it" he smiled while sneezing lightly.
" Bless you, and you know the reason that your sick is because two nights ago, me and you went dancing in the rain, remember?" she smiled.
" Oh yeah" he said finally remembering.
" Sakura, there is something that I need to ask you?" he asked.
" Sure, what is it?"
" Well, say this boy likes this girl, should he just man up and tell her, or be a macho man and hide his emotions behind his looks?" Syaoran asked seriously.
" That's an easy qusetion, that boy won't get anywhere by acting all Mr macho, he should just tell her".
" But what if he is afraid of being rejected?" Syaoran asked.
" Well, he won't know, unless he tries will he? I mean, would he rather go through life knowing where him and this girl stands or does he want to go through life wondering what would she have said?" Sakura said.
" Your really something else Kinomoto" he chuckled underneath his coughs.
" So I've been told. Come on let's get some rest" Sakura stated.
" One more qusetion" Syaoran said.
" What is it?" she asked.
" Why are you choosing to stay with me tonight, aren't you afraid I might rape you or something?" he asked quietly.
" I think you already know why I stayed" Sakura said with a wink, before laying down on the pillow and drifting of to sleep.
' I think you already know why I stayed' were the words that kept playing on Syaoran's mind for the rest of the night as Sakura lay peacefully beside him. He then gently kissed the back of her hand and held it intwined with his before falling asleep too.
AWW, he just get's more romantic by the minute even when he is sick, agree?
Well you guys the next chapter is hot and sunny and I ain't talking
