Chapter 16

A: n/ Blimey, this has been a long time coming, sorry about the wait guys…I was blocked but hey, I just got some new ideas so best not to dwell on emptiness eh? Ok, a quick review of last time, then on with the story!

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. Then 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.

ON WITH THE STORY!

A moment later, Madison had bounded up the stairs and was standing in the doorway, she was starry-eyed, and hadn't noticed Li's arm flying away from Sakura's.

"Err...hey Madison." Li said whilst running a hand through his hair.

"Go on then, in the bath she goes!" Madison was ecstatically happy about something, and Li had absolutely no idea what it was. He shook his head and lifted Sakura up with ease.

He walked into the bathroom and put her in the bath, with Madison skipping behind contentedly.

He walked away embarrassed, Tomoyo closed the door and there was a click as Li heard it lock.

Tomoyo was talking.

"You know Sakura, Li really likes you… I just wish you would tell him that you do too! But no worries, it'll all be clear on the final day."

Li didn't hear anything as he was pacing up and down the corridor, silently willing Sakura to wake up so that he could drown in her deep emerald pools.

After about twenty minutes, the door unlocked. Tomoyo called to him.

"Li, she's ready now…and she's half awake too!" Li practically sprinted the corridor, and there she was, sitting in the middle of the floor, her hair wild and untamed her eyes forcing themselves to stay open. She was in a pink towelling robe.

"Thanks for getting me Li… (Yawn) I think I hit my head…" her head fell onto her chest and she was snoring.

Li laughed along with Madison before picking her up again and putting her in the middle of her bedroom floor for Madison to brush her hair.

Li strolled downstairs and switched the TV on. The first channel it came on was the news.

"It seems that yesterday at the ice rink in Reedington a mysterious force has been at work. We have video footage of the scene."

Li watched in horror as he and Sakura were seen entering the ice rink. He watched them go separate ways, Li to the boots and Sakura to the toilets. His eyes got wider as he watched windy and sleep go to work, his face was zoomed in, and he saw himself grinning. He then watched him and Sakura skating.

"We believe that these two children are suspects and we are looking for information about the two, if you know anything about them then please dial…"

Li went deaf, he was scared. People in this day and age were completely against magic, if he and Sakura were discovered, they would definitely be experimented on and persecuted.

He raced up the stairs.

"Madison! Sakura and I have been seen! At the ice rink, she used magic so that we could have it to ourselves…there were cameras!"

"Li! Stop for a moment, I'll handle it. I'll get a hacker to delete all the files, and maybe Sakura could use the erase card to wipe their memories of it."

"But Sakura's too weak to do anything right now."

"Yes, but I'm not. I have plenty of contacts…I've got to go then. Look after Sakura for me." Madison jogged down the stairs and out of the house. Her bodyguard had been patiently waiting in the car, Li watched as she sped off.

Sakura groaned and nearly toppled over, but Li caught her. Not wanting to worry her, he didn't bother to tell her about the skating incident.

"Li, you're the best friend a girl could have…except for Madison." He smiled at her.

"Do you need anything, or want anything?"

"No thanks." She stood up slowly, with Li supporting her, she tried climbing in her bed, but failed. Li had to pick her up again. She was soon asleep again.

Li changed into a pair of black jeans, with a black shirt. He walked out the house and went down the shop, whistling as he walked.

When he was down there, he bought some fruit, caffeine tablets and several energy drinks, also ingredients for energy food that his mother used to cook him.

Well, anything was worth a try, right?

He got back into the house; Sakura could be heard shouting as soon as Li walked in the door.

"HOE! I'm going to be late!" Li laughed, especially when Sakura started snoring immediately afterward.

He set the items on the kitchen side and started making the special energy food. Full of protein.

He fetched a tray and put the finished products onto it.

A bowl of disgusting looking soup, two tablets, a cup of energy juice, and two oranges as extras. He took the tray upstairs and gently woke Sakura up.

"I'm SO not eating that!" Sakura declared groggily.

"Yes you are." Li replied bluntly, he raised the spoon. "Here comes the aeroplane!" he mocked.

"Oh shut up, this is your bloody fault." But she opened her mouth regardless and let Li spoon-fed her the whole bowl. She took the tablets along with the drink, and bit into the fruit contentedly.

(Ok, I'm really bored with this whole Sakura being ill thing, at first, I though it was going to be cute, but I just don't have the energy to write it, so I'm going to skip to Eriol's arrival, with Sakura up and walking k? And Madison got the hacker and Sakura erased the memory etc. Soz)

"You can go get Eriol, I'm staying here with Madison ok Li?"

"Yeah, whatever, but where's he coming from?"

"Well, you have to meet him at the train station in Kleckon (Made up!) hmm…about now?"

Li grabbed his jacket and dashed out the house, Eriol was not one to keep waiting.

Sakura and Madison burst out laughing as soon as Li had gone.

"Did you download it Maddy?"

She nodded.

"On your phone?"

Again, she nodded.

Then I'll phone him in a bit.

(Ten minutes later)

A:N/ Ok guys, this is where I'm leaving you and you'll have to wait to see what Sakura and Madison are doing…Love you guys!
