A: n Hey guys, thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate it!
Ok, a quick review of last time, and then on with the story!
After Li had decided his own meal, he ordered the meal, speaking fluent Italian with the waiter. It took a long time for the conversation to finish.
"What the hell were you talking about? Or should I say how much have you ordered you fat git?" Sakura asked.
Li laughed, and Sakura was sure that if he had a large stomach, it would be bouncing up and down.
"I was just telling her to make sure that the meal is exactly up to my standard."
"Oh. So what did you get me then?"
"I got you pigs testicles. They're really chewy and I knew that you'd just love them!"
Ok! ON WITH THE STORY!
Li was wearing the world's largest smile. It was so adorably cute, that Sakura didn't have the heart to turn him down. (That and she was desperately in love with him…)
"Of erm…course I do!" she said, whilst trying to hold the rising vomit down.
"That's good then. By the way, don't you just love the fact you're eating pigs testicles? I find it invigorating!"
He exclaimed with joy.
Sakura was green in the face; she felt that she was going to spew any moment…
Syaoran's p.o.v
Why am I getting the feeling that she doesn't like pig's testicles? Hehehe…End of p.o.v
Ten minutes later, when Sakura's skin had turned its usual honey colour. The meal arrived, covered with doilies. Another waitress, laid Syaoran's meal in front of him, and removed the doily; Sakura closed her eyes as the waitress approached her, the waitress then did the same with Sakura's meal.
Sakura opened her eyes to be confronted with two lumps of pasta, spherical in shape. Sakura dreaded to think what was underneath the layer of pasta. Nervously, she prodded it with her fork. Syaoran meanwhile, was eating his lasagne with a newfound hunger.
"Can we erm move on to desserts? I don't think I have enough room to eat both…"
Syaoran, realising that the game was up, confessed.
"They're not pigs testicles Sakura. They're pasta balls with lamb, and a cheese sauce."
Sakura looked as if she was going to implode, her eyes drew back into her head, creating a very nefarious look, no wait scrap that, Sakura looked as if she was about to explode and Syaoran was in the firing line. He gulped nervously.
"You…you…you bastard!" She shouted before running out of the restaurant, crying loudly.
Syaoran sighed, Sakura was supposed to laugh at his 'innocent' prank, not run out angry and crying…
The whole restaurant was staring at him, whispering and obviously laughing at him in his bedraggled state.
He opened the money pocket of his wallet, and emptied it on to the table. (This included notes as well as coins, and probably ended up paying triple for he meal.) He then ran after Sakura, with no clue as to which way she had gone, or where. After searching for around thirty minutes, he decided to have a break; he went towards the fountain to sit for a while.
He saw something then that he only saw in his worst nightmares. Sakura. Dead.
After a while of numbness, Syaoran walked closer towards the fountain, each step felt as if he were climbing a mountain. Then, Sakura sneezed, but she still didn't open her eyes.
"Thank the Gods." Li mumbled aloud. Sakura was lying in the fountain, shivering profusely; she opened her eyes when Li (unintentionally) coughed. He was still around 6 paces away from the fountain.
"Sakura, I'm sorry." She didn't reply.
"Oh shit." Li burst out. He jumped into the fountain, pulled Sakura out and swung her on his back. (Piggy back style). With his other hand, he reached for his mobile.
Her mobile ringing woke Madison up.
"Hello?" She enquired groggily.
"Madison, Sakura's ill, we need a car. Fast."
"Ok." She put down the phone and ran to her bodyguard.
"We need a car!" She screeched. The whole neighbourhood had heard, and they were not best impressed.
She ran into her camera room, and sifted through her numerous camera screens, she eventually found Li, with Sakura laying across his lap, and he was holding her tightly.
Her bodyguard came into the room.
Madison, panicking, shouted again "Take me there! Take me there!"
The journey seemed to last forever to Madison. When they finally arrived she practically fell out of the car, in her rush to get to Sakura. She sound Syaoran still hugging Sakura, except now Sakura was wearing Li's jacket, and there was a strong smell of vomit lingering in the air.
"Is she alright?" Madison asked, holding back her tears.
"She has a fever, she's nearly unconscious."
"Then why the hell didn't you phone an ambulance!" Madison bellowed.
"Because I know what I'm doing, and I trust you more than an ambulance, and she wont lose consciousness."
Madison sighed.
"Ok then, take her to the car."
It was a black viper, with silver flames stretching up the sides. Fast.
Syaoran gently laid Sakura in the back seat and sat next to her, gently stroking her hair.
They drove to Sakura's house in silence.
Syaoran carried her up the stairs, lay her on her bed, put the duvet over her, and went downstairs, to find a very agitated and panicky Madison, who was making several hot water bottles at once. (Somehow…)
"She needs to warm up gradually, Madison. Otherwise she'll get worse."
Madison looked as if shed been slapped around the face. Her bottom lip began to quiver uncontrollably.
"I cant care for my…my Saku?" she enquired, tears now flowing freely, gushing down her face like a waterfall. Syaoran noticed the invisible danger signs flashing above her head.
"I can't care for my Saku!" She screamed.
Li was at a loss for what to say. He supposed it would be unwise to interrupt her little fit.
Madison ran out of Sakura's house, crying, leaving the hot water bottles in the sink.
Syaoran sighed his relief.
He emptied two bottles out and took the remaining one upstairs and placed it by Sakura's chest.
She looked so innocent and carefree when she slept. She sniffed, oh how Li wished he hadn't played such a childish prank on her now…
He phoned Madison up, he could tell by her shaky voice that shed been crying.
"Hello?" Came a croaky voice.
"Hey Madison, its Li. Sakura's going to be fine.
"That's great!" Li's words had obviously cheered her up instantly.
"I'll open the lockers and I'll be back round in a bit."
(Anime sweat drop as Li puts down the phone)
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to phone her after all…
True to her word, Madison was back round very soon. In a blue Subaru Impreza this time, with gold spinners.
Madison was ecstatic; she made a mad dash to get to the house. Li had barely opened the door before he was sent flying into the opposite wall.
Madison didn't even notice as she raced up the stairs and into Sakura's bedroom.
Li (painfully) dragged himself up, and went into the kitchen to make Madison and himself a coffee. A black coffee for himself, milk and three sugars for Madison.
A few minutes later, when the coffees were made, Li took the steaming coffees upstairs. Madison was sitting on the floor, stroking Sakura's head.
"Here, I got you a coffee."
"Thanks." Madison replied, "She woke up y'know"
"She did?" Li asked, feeling slightly happier already.
"She fell asleep almost instantly though."
"Oh…her hairs covered in vomit, she needs a bath."
"I'll do it, and I'll get her dressed, you can carry her into bed."
Syaoran flushed red, but Madison pretended not to notice.
"But can you put her in the bath for me?" Madison asked slyly.
Li was flustered and began to stutter.
"I…erm…n…no…I mean…erm…I don't think…erm…Sakura would erm…would erm want me to…y'know…"
(Madison has one of her 'Ohohohoho' moments."
"I meant put her in the bath clothed Li…" (She sighed) "I'll undress her and shower her off. The I'll dry her in the bath, get her dressed, then you can get her out."
The relief on Li's face showed clearly and Madison had to look away to stop herself from laughing.
"I'll go get both of your pyjamas."
Li watched Madison go, and then put the coffees onto a drawer. He sat on the floor, listening to Sakura's soft breathing.
