Syaorans Point of View
Mother found me as soon as Sakura walked away. She looked furious, but still had the composed mask of peace and tranquility on her.
"Xiao Lang, where were you?" she asked me.
I bit my lip as I tried for a plausible answer for her. "I got lost Mother."
Now, she looked disappointed. "That is a sad excuse for the future leader of the Li clan. But since you are still a child, I guess I can let it slide this one time."
I looked up at her, surprised that she would say this.
She looked down at my beaming face. "Now, lets go see Meilin."
Her hand gripped my hand as I scowled at the thought of seeing Meilin now. I quickly followed Mother to a huge hospital bedroom. I think it fit the perfect motto for 'the best for a Li'. Even though we were in Tokyo, people still treated us with the same respect that they did in China.
We reached Meilins room in record time. She was sitting on the bed watching an anime show Pita Ten. (A/N Don't own that either)
"Hi Aunt Yelan. So how is my favorite guy cousin doing?" she greeted us.
"Hello Meilin," Mother said. "I am going to go talk to your doctor, so why don't the two of you catch up." with that she left the room.
"Meilin, I am your only guy cousin." I said.
"Now, that is really beside the point." Meilin said. (A/N They only have a cousin relationship)
"What I really don't get is why we had to come all the way to Tokyo for your broken leg?" I asked her. HA lets her answer that one.
"Father wanted me to be treated at the best hospital that specializes in broken bones and here I am. So when are you going back to Hong Kong?" she asked me.
"I don't know, maybe next week." I said.
"So what took you so long to get here?" she asked.
I had to admit that I was a little embarrassed to admit this. "I got l l-ost." I stuttered out.
"W-o-w. I never thought that I would see the day that the perfect Syaoran Li got lost." she teasingly laughed while a small blush crept on my cheeks. "Are those mine?" she asked gesturing towards the bouquet of roses.
I nodded.
"Thanks." Meilin exclaimed. "Hey, there's a note here." Oh, shot. I forgot that Mother put a card there. "Seven roses for each bone you broke. Weird…."
My heart missed a bit while I waited for her to say what was wrong.
"Hum.. There is a rose missing. The florist must have counted wrong. Thanks Syaoran." She gave me a friendly hug.
I pictured Sakura with the rose that I gave her. She seemed so happy. I wondered if I could find her again.
My grip on the small hair clip that lay in my hand tightened.
"What's that?" Meilin asked.
"What?" I asked trying to play innocent.
"That hair clip." she said accusingly.
Silence
"Where did you get it?"
Silence
A huge smile appeared on her face. "Ohhh.. Maybe a girl gave it to you."
My face turned into the human tomato.
She put up her hands in the air and yelled, "Jackpot! So what is her name?"
There was really no point in hiding anything from the female species. They would find out eventually. I held out the cherry blossom clip in my hand for Meilin to see. "Sakura." I said.
My thoughts turned where Sakura could be.
Normal Point of View
Sakura was in a different room with a nurse. In another room, stood Dr. Jones and Mr. Kinomoto. They were having a conversation about Sakuras health.
"We got the tests back Mr. Kinomoto. Now, we have some good news and bad news."
Fujiwatka waited patiently for the doctor to continue.
"The good news is that Sakura doesn't have A.I.D.S." the doctor said.
Fujiwatka breathed out a sigh of relief.
"But, the bad news is that she has Type A brain cancer." the doctor said.
Mr. Kinomotos face paled when the doctor said this.
