Chapter 6: Understanding More
By Cindy
Sakura…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura groaned as she regained consciousness. My head…She opened her eyes slowly.
"Kinomoto? Kinomoto?" Sakura turned to the voice. Li-san? Syaoran sat by the side of the bed: his face looking really worried.
"Li-san?" sakura asked. She took a look around. "Where am I?" Sakura said drowsily. She sat up slowly, but fell back on the bed weakly. Syaoran continued to look worried. But his worried expression disappeared.
"You're in the hospital. Don't try to get up too. The nurse said that you had a fever up to 104 degrees." Syaoran said bossily. Sakura stared up at him confused. Did I do something wrong? He seems mad at me.
"Li-san?" Sakura said worriedly. Syaoran took a quick glance at her, a look of alarm in his eyes for a split second. He cringed. She's not hurt is she? He thought.
"Are…you… mad at me?" Sakura nervously asked, staring at her hands. Her cheeks slightly, slightly pink. Syaoran's body relaxed. No…I'm not mad. I'm far from mad.
"Yeah! I'm wasting my time here." Said Syaoran. Sakura looked farther down.
"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I must be such a nuisance. You can go now." Sakura said quietly. Syaoran regretted saying what he just said. He slowly got up and said to Sakura.
"Okay." Get well soon. Say get well soon! Syaoran no baka! Just say it! Syaoran quietly walked to the doorway. He turned suddenly, making Sakura look up.
"G-get…well soon." Syaoran said, he's cheeks faintly pink. Sakura looked surprised then smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Li-san." Syaoran nodded and quickly walked out of the room. Sakura smiled to herself. Li-san's NOT mad at me!

(Back to story)
-----------------------------------------Syaoran's POV--------------------------------------------
Geez. I don't know why it was so hard to say three little words. Get. Well. Soon. Why is it so hard to say that to her!
Yeah, Li. Why? Said a taunting voice in his head.
How should I know?
Well, it IS you! Of course you should know! That annoying voice said.
Go away! I thought irritated.
No. Not until you tell me you're feelings.
God, this conscious thing is so annoying.
Bite me. It said. Fine! My feelings are that I think of Kinomoto as a normal passerby. Happy? Now go away.
Ugh! No.
What! I told you my feelings toward her. What more do you want?
Is that your TRUE feelings? It said seriously.
………….
--------------------------------------------Normal POV-----------------------------------------------
Syaoran's walked out of the hospital building. He walked on down the street. He passed the stores, not knowing where he was going. He stopped suddenly, and retraced his steps. Syaoran was standing in front of a store. He looked at the little white teddy bear through the mirror. It brought back so much memories.
-------------------------------------------------Flashback---------------------------------------------
"Syaoran-kun!" called a cute five-year-old Sakura. A little also five-year-old Syaoran turned at as the tiny girl came running towards him. She was holding something. As she reached him, she smiled brightly up at him.
"Sakura?" Syaoran said. Sakura pouted cutely.
"Please call me: Sakura-chan! Please!" she said. Syaoran blushed, nodding.
"What is it?" He asked curiously. She held out what she was holding. It was a cute little white teddy bear, with a little red hat that said, 'Syaoran' in little white letters.
"It's for you, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura said smiling widely.
"But it's not my birthday." Said Syaoran.
"So? I made it!" Sakura said proudly. "It took me a long time." She handed it to him. "It's a symbol of our friendship! So take good care of her, okay?" Sakura said.
"Her?" he asked. Sakura nodded happily.
"Hai! Her! Take good care of HER, okay?" She repeated.
"Hai. Thank you… Sakura-chan."
---------------------------------------End of Flashback------------------------------------------
Syaoran shook his head. Those days are over. He thought. Then he continued walking down the street. He paused. A vein popped on his head. Syaoran turned and angrily stomped back to the store. He marched inside and bought the little white teddy bear.
------------------------------------------------Later----------------------------------------------
Syaoran walked down the silent hospital hallways. He stopped at a door with the number '121' on it. He entered quietly and looked at the now sitting Sakura. Sakura looked surprised.
"Li-san!" she said. "What are you doing here?" Syaoran didn't answer as he walked toward her and dropped something soft on the bed. Sakura gasped. It was the little white teddy bear. It was identical to the one sakura had gave Syaoran ages ago. Except the word 'Sakura' was now on the little red hat.
"Li-san?" sakura said softly.
"It's Syaoran, to you." Syaoran muttered. Sakura eyes widened, then turned back to normal.
"…You…you bought me this?" Sakura said lightly, disbelievingly. She slowly picked up the little teddy bear carefully, as if it was glass.
"Hm." Syaoran grunted. Sakura looked up.
"But it's not my birthday." She said.
"So? I bought it. So you better take good care of him." Syaoran said, smiling slightly.
"Him?" Sakura asked smiling. Syaoran nodded.
"Thank you...Syaoran-kun" Sakura said smiling beautifully. Syaoran blushed slightly, slightly.
-------------------------------------------The next day--------------------------------------------
Syaoran rushed out of the school building as the bell rang.
"Syaoran!" Some one called from behind. Syaoran turned around impatiently. What do they want? I'm busy. It was Emi. Emi walked towards him and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you yesterday. I called you a hundred times." She whined cutely. "I miss you." Syaoran slowly pried her away.
"I'm sorry, but I'm busy." Syaoran said. "I'll call you later, okay?" He called as he ran off the school grounds. Emi stared after him angrily. What has he been doing lately? He better not be doing anything with a girl.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran ran in a flower shop and bought a bouquet of beautiful white roses. He then ran towards the hospital. As he entered, he quickly walked toward room 121. As he entered, a nurse was folding the bed sheets. Syaoran gaped at the empty bed.
"Where's Kinomoto?" He asked alarmingly. The nurse turned toward him surprised.
"She's been discharged about an hour ago." She said. Syaoran nodded and walked out of the room. Where is she? He walked out of the hospital and walked out of the hospital grounds. There, he saw a girl with amber-colored hair sitting on a bench. He walked towards her and sat down on the other side of it. She turned surprised. It was Sakura.
"L-Syaoran-kun?' Sakura said surprised. She looked at the bouquet in his hands. "What are you doing here?" Syaoran handed the flowers to her, avoiding her eyes. Sakura took the bouquet, blushing.
"For me?" She asked quietly. Syaoran blushed. Just take it.
"A get well present," he muttered. Sakura looked at him confused.
"But I thought that was what the teddy bear was for." She said puzzled. Syaoran blushed deeper.
"Just take it and don't ask questions!" He snapped.
"H-Hai!" Sakura squeaked. There was an awkward silence.
"Sorry." He muttered. Sakura smiled.
"It's okay. Thank you for the beautiful flowers, Syaoran-kun." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded smiling.
"You got out of the hospital today. How are you feeling?" he asked. Sakura shot her arm out and balled it into a tiny fist.
"I feel great!" She said determinedly smiling. Syaoran chuckled. She never changed… She's still like she was when we were kids.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Enjoying the breeze." Sakura answered shortly. "Listening to the birds, the wind, the leaves; mother nature." She closed her eyes in comfort. Syaoran watched amazed, as the wind played with her short silky hair. He suddenly had the urge to touch it. Syaoran. No. He thought. He also closed his eyes. This feels good…the wind.
Sakura turned towards Syaoran in alarm. "Syaoran-kun! We have to go the animal shelter, right? Today?" Syaoran opened his eyes. He gave Sakura a weird look.
"We start tomorrow." He said. Sakura sweatdropped.
"Oh…" They closed their eyes again.
This feels good. Sitting here…with Sakura.
