Fast Recovery
Yelan-li sat in front of Sakura Kinomoto; she couldn't understand why she never spoke to anyone else but Li. When she asked her questions she wouldn't speak, "Sakura how can you expect to be helped if you won't allow me to help you." Yelan-li pleaded seeing Sakura's head lower.
"I'm perfectly fine; I don't need your help." She spoke seeing Yelan-li straighten her back. "Don't trust Mister Li with everything." Yelan-li spoke. "He'd never trick me." Sakura spat, her anger rising. For some strange reason Li was the only one who could talk to her and she wouldn't blow up, in truth Sakura wasn't a very kind person to any other of the doctors, truth be told she wouldn't attack anyone, but she wouldn't be very courteous either.
"What was your life before this facility, Sakura? Please keep in mind that I'm not here to judge or betray anyone. I like you very much." She said seeing Sakura laugh slightly, "Bubblegum." She said easily, "Silly Bubblegum."
Yelan-li lowered her head. "I see that I'm not getting anywhere with you. Hopefully when Mister Li speaks with you today he'll have interesting news. Since we know you aren't mentally ill, you won't have to stay here much longer. "Yelan-li spoke seeing Sakura still, measure her words, and then simply nod.
When she stood up to leave the room the thoughts that came to Sakura's cheeks made her blush slightly, maybe her and mister Li could go on a date later on? Or she could volunteer and they could help patients together?
As Yelan-li left the room with a sigh, Sakura noticed that she forgot to lock the door. Curiosity spiked Sakura and she easily slipped out from the door and wandered around the grounds. Easily catching sight of Syaoran, she started to walk to him, with a smile on her face.
As she got closer she noticed he was speaking with a girl, one of the family members of one of the patients. She noticed how he acted around her, how both of them laughed. Sakura stood still; He fixed a stay hair from her face.
Sakura blinked noticing the intimacy, and decided to not think much of it until he kissed her cheek ever so slightly when the mother wasn't looking.
"Li…? Do you have anyone special in your life right now?" Sakura asked while they put together blocks. "No, not really, it's hard for me to get to know people. Honestly you're the only girl I know, Sakura."
"Bubblegum." She sighed; the hurt glow in her eyes died down and glazed over. "Good thing I didn't get too attached." She spoke and turned to go back to her cell. She decided it was a good time for a shower, and the clothes that this place offered weren't that nice.
She wanted to speak to Yelan-li again, but no sooner did she return to her cell did she find Yelan-li looking over her files. "I see you wandered outside your room finally.
Sakura bit her lower lip. "Seems that way..." She tried; maybe she needed to apologize for being so rude? "I'm sorry…" Sakura started a sober expression on her face. "I didn't … well I did but I shouldn't have been so rude to you." She said and gave a bow.
Yelan-li blinked and smiled. "He is my son you know." Yelan-li added seeing Sakura blink and turn to him, "He's a very arrogant boy. You're going to be released in a week with the information you were going to give us. It baffles me that with everything that happened you haven't gone crazy." She spoke.
Sakura said nothing and cleaned the hair out of her face. "I did go crazy, when I saw what happened to my father. My body deals with things a different way, but even with that, I really don't have anything anymore, cept for Tomoyo, but I don't want to bother her with all of this..." She spoke looking away.
"I misjudge people… I thought that your son was someone I could trust. "She spoke seeing Yelan-li frown slightly. "I'm going to hurt him as well, I hope you know this." She spoke.
Yelan-li sighed and nodded, "An eye for an eye." She agreed as she got up. "You can come and live with me after all this mess is done with if you like." She spoke seeing Sakura blink to her and smile. "That's a very kind offer." She added, "I have nothing else to go to, I'd be happy to accept it." Sakura said in a bow.
As she took her towel and walked to the bathroom, she noticed the other girls there walking around, silently, some twitch back and forth. With a sigh she hurried to the bathroom and took her shower. Her side still hurt slightly from the healing wound that was inflicted.
She combed her hair and put on her clothes once more, after her shower. The hair was out of her face, she didn't feel so dirty anymore. They had weight training there, Sakura felt that her wound would not open, and she decided to cancel every chat she had with Li, and jealousy was an ugly thing.
With a sigh she continued on her way. She noticed as he walked by with his arm around another girl, a different girl. He didn't recognize her, so when she pulled her foot out to trip him, and he looked to her with an angry face, she simply smiled.
"What do you think you're doing wench? I should have you locked up." He snarled through clenched teeth.
Sakura smiled, causing his angry snarl to turn normal,
"Bubblegum, Mister Li, Fucking bubblegum."
What...Sakura?
With that she left him standing there, and indeed, some good hard exercise was in order.
Syaoran quickly moved and walked to her, grabbing her by the shoulders, she froze and glared to him, "Don't' touch me, I hate touching." She said angrily. "But you don't care if I touch you."
"I also said I don't like liars, Li. Apparently you fit everything I hated about people. Deceitful, back-stabbing, and everything right under it. "He blinked seeing her looks.
Then he smiled, "You also know that I don't care what you think about me, you're just a silly little patient-"
POW!
Syaoran fell back, his jaw hurting like nothing else while he looked at Sakura in disbelief. "The feeling is mutual; you think that life isn't hard? Little rich boys like you think they know everything about life just because your wallet is full. "She spoke and straightened her back.
"Well, you're in luck, Mister Li." She added in a small bow, "You see, I've been backstabbed so much that when it does happen I lose the ability to feel anything but hate for that person. " She spoke and turned to go to the weight room, "I expect you to realize that even if you don't care about anything I'll do from now on, even if you didn't before. I'm going to make your life a living hell." She said with a little tune in her voice.
"I hate liars." She said seeing him get up and start to walk away, when he turned back to see what she was doing, he was greeted by an image of her just standing there, flipping him off. He stopped in disbelief, her posture; everything about her had turned rebellious.
Then with a slender movement, she turned and walked to her destination.
Sakura…. He thought in disbelief seeing her walk off.
I'll show you Mister Li… I'll show you how worthless you are. She thought with a smile. I'll show you how much I hate Liars.
