Chapter 7

My Sensitive Eyes Sparkle of the Sun

"Syaoran, you saw him? Where?" Sakura desperately asked, her heart began racing, like Syaoran in a race. Haru couldn't talk, and she just cried. Sakura was confused that Haru would come to her. Didn't she despise Sakura? Questions ran through her head, and Haru looked up at her, and answered.

"H-he, never left Tokyo, he was sitting at one of the sushi bars, w-with- with his dog." Haru said, trembling in fear, A tear fell down her cheek, and Haru examined her eyes.

"Your eyes, there gold, so he- he did…" Haru muttered, Sakura pushed her away and ran, she ran as fast as she could to where all the sushi bars were, and looked inside all of them. Sweat and tears mixed with each other, as Sakura panted going from bar to bar. Sakura then stopped to rest, and remembered something.

"Let this be our special place. Whenever you're worried about me, or can't find me, I'll be here." Sakura's eyes widened and she gasped, the day she went with Syaoran to the racetrack.

"She ran again, down the streets, and she finally caught a cab.

"Please sir, to the Tokyo race track, and hurry!" Sakura yelled as the man drove, Sakura couldn't stop panting, even after sitting in a car for fifteen minutes, when they got there, Sakura ran out, without paying the man.

"Hey lady! You didn't pay!" The scruffy man yelled from the window, but Sakura didn't answer. Sakura looked at the racetrack, and people were racing, she then saw one figure sitting on a bench, with a golden retriever. Sakura gasped, and wiped her tears, she took a deep breathe, and walked down the steps. She walked up to him as Syaoran threw a ball for his dog to catch it. Sakura looked at him, he had gotten skinnier, and was wearing sunglasses. Sakura trembled in nervousness as she walked up slowly to him. Then, a gust of wind blew, and a picture that was laying next to Syaoran fell to the ground. He looked at the side of him, and used his hand to search for the picture. Sakura gave a puzzled look, and then it all came together. The reason why her eyes were gold, and the reason why Haru was crying, and the reason why Yujiro wouldn't say anything. Sakura picked up the picture, and it was the picture that he took when she tripped on the wire. A tear fell onto the picture, and she handed it to him.

"Thank you." Syaoran said, not knowing it was his love that stands merely inches away from him after months. He stood up, and the dog came to him, he held onto the handle, and walked away. Sakura stood there the whole time, in shock, the tears flowed, and she covered her mouth. But as he walked away, she turned around.

"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled, and Syaoran immediately turned around.

"Sakura, is- is that you?" Syaoran asked, as he started walking towards her.

"Yes, yes, it's me!" Sakura yelled in joy, and she ran to him, but right when they were 3 feet away from each other, people screamed from the crowd a few yards away, and a motorcycle crashed into Syaoran, his dog ran away in fear as people started running towards them. Sakura couldn't swallow the scene that had just happened, and she stood there, frozen and dumbfounded, as Syaoran's head bled, and his sunglasses fell off, to reveal emerald eyes. Sakura started to cry, and ran to him.

"Syaoran! Syaoran, wake up! It's me, Sakura! It's okay now, it will be all right! Please, wake up!" Sakura pleaded and cried as she held him in her arms, as Syaoran once did as well. She cried, and tears now mixed in with the blood. His eyes were open, but he wasn't moving.

"Syaoran! Please, wake… up…" Sakura sobbed, as two men came up to her and told her they were taking him to a hospital. But she didn't say anything, and just held onto him. The men but him onto the stretcher and Sakura sat there, in tears. The ringing of the ambulance faded away, and Sakura sat there, pretending that Syaoran was still there.

"It will be alright Syaoran. I'm here now, don't worry…" Sakura said, pretending to sweep her finger gently through his hair, she sat there, once begging for destiny to give her her soul mate, now happy, with Syaoran.

Tomoyo came almost a half hour later, and walked her back to the car. Tomoyo kept asking if she was okay, but she never answered, she just stared blankly at her lap, like Syaoran's peaceful face was still there. Eroil drove them to the hospital, as Sakura rocked herself in the chair.

They walked into the hospital; Sakura's face was as pale as ever as Tomoyo helped her walk to the hospital room. Syaoran lay in the bed, lifeless with a blanket covering his whole body.

"Syaoran was pronounced dead even before they took him to the hospital." Eroil said to them, and Sakura laughed.

"What are you talking about Eroil, he's just sleeping, and he'll wake up soon." Sakura said with another giggle. Tomoyo and Eroil looked at each other worried. Sakura got up, and walked to the room where Syaoran's corpse lay. She took the fabric off his face, Syaoran's face had been cleaned, but there were massive scars everywhere. Sakura smiled and gazed at his face.

"Just sleep, sleep is good for you…" Sakura said to herself as she caressed his cheek. She smiled again and giggled, Tomoyo came into the room.

"Sakura, we have to go home." Tomoyo said to her as she touched her shoulder. Sakura didn't say anything or even looked at her. She wiped her hand away, her gaze still on Syaoran.

"C'mon Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled, pulling her away, as Sakura began to cry.

"No! Let go of me! He needs me here when he wakes up." Sakura cried and cried when they got back to the house, and she kept herself in her room, pretending that Syaoran was there.

A month later, Tomoyo and Meiling took her to a psychiatric doctor, and the doctor announced to Tomoyo and Meiling that Sakura was mentally ill.

"The trauma from seeing him die made her brain go haywire, and she created a double of him, pretending that he is still there." The doctor said, and Tomoyo and Meiling gave a serious look. Sakura was put into a mental institute a week later, she struggled to get free, and she cried for Tomoyo and Meiling's help. But her best friends just looked away in guilt and cried as the two men took her away. They put her into a room, it was all white, and the walls and floor were soft, the room had a bed, crayons, markers, paper, and a desk and chair. Sakura looked around the room, her appearance has changed dramatically. Her face was pale, and her lips were a faint shade of blue. She sat down on the chair and drew a picture of her and Syaoran sitting together on a tree. She smiled at it and looked to her left. She held her arm out holding the drawing, like she was giving it to someone.

"It's for you Syaoran, do you like it?" Sakura smiled like Syaoran said 'yes' and she pretended to hug him, and she sat down again and drew more.

The next year was filled with meetings with doctors, counseling, medication, and drawing. A whole year had gone by, her father and her brother would visit her, as well as Tomoyo, Meiling, Takihaka and Eroil. She would be happy to see them, but wouldn't talk. She only talked to the doctors and Syaoran. But finally, after another year, Sakura was let go, the doctors thought she was healthy, but still had to take medication. The whole time she was just acting, so she could be free.. So she walked out the door wearing the clothes she wore when she was first taken.

"Syaoran, we're free now!" Sakura celebrated by jumping up and down, and then she walked out to a cliff, where you could see the beautiful horizon. Then, as she ate gummy bears in joy, someone came up behind her.

"Sakura, is that you?" Sakura looked back, and it was Haru. She looked exactly the same, but her hair was cut to shoulder length.

"Haru, is that you?" Sakura said with a big smile and she walked up to her and hugged her. Haru smiled, she had moved on after getting the news from Yujiro, they had flown to China for his funeral a week after he died.

"So how has it been since Syaoran died?" Haru asked, and Sakura laughed and slapped her shoulder playfully.

"What are you talking about, he's right here." Sakura pointed to the edge of the cliff where Sakura imagined him sitting and waving at them. Haru gave a puzzled look.

"But Sakura, he died two years ago, don't you remember? He got hit by a motorcycle, I went to his funeral with Yujiro in China." Haru said, and Sakura's eyes widened.

"I-is that true?" Sakura asked, her mental illness was starting to wear away, but she looked back at the edge of the cliff, and no one was there.

"Maybe I shouldn't have talked about it so casually…" Haru muttered to herself, and Sakura cried for the first time in two years. She began to tremble and turned around again. Haru looked worried as she walked towards the fence.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Haru asked, as Sakura swung her leg and then the other over the fence, and she stood an inch away from falling.

"Sakura, don't! What are you doing?" Haru yelled as she ran up to her. Sakura didn't answer, but then she looked back.

"Tell everyone that I'm leaving, I want to be with Syaoran." Sakura said, then she looked back at the horizon, her golden eyes glistened, and Haru cried, and held onto her pants.

"Don't do it Sakura! Please!" Sakura ignored the plea, and looked down at the sharp rocks below. She spread her arms out, and jumped off. Tears flew up as she fell down.

Why did you have to make this so hard for me destiny? Why couldn't you just leave us alone? But now, you can't bother us, because we'll be together up in the clouds, laughing and kissing… Sheclosed her eyes as shecame closer to the rocks. Syaoran's face appeared in her mind, and her mind then went blank.
