Chapter 2: Power Spurt
"Ugh… My head…" Sakura groaned as she sat up. "Argh…"
Nadeshiko's head shot up at hearing her daughter's moans and groans. "Oh my god! Sakura! You worried me sick!!! OH!! Thank god you're alright!" She hugged her daughter tightly in fear that she might disappear.
"Mom… Air supply… Can't breath…"
"Oh, I'm sorry sweety! Are you hungry?"
"Yeah… God, I feel like I haven't eaten in a week…"
"Close, five days." Came a voice from behind the white curtain that hid Sakura from everyone else.
"Syaoran?"
"Yeah stupid, it's me."
"What?! Mom?"
Her mother smiled at her as she walked towards the curtain and pulled it back, revealing Syaoran in the other hospital bed with a huge bandage on his head and ribs. "Me and the Li's thought it would be a great idea to have you two in the same room since we each consider each other family… Isn't that great?"
"I can't express the words to you." Sakura put on a fake smile as Syaoran snorted.
"Well, I have to go off to work… You two have fun, don't get too rowdy."
"MOM!" Her mother winked at her before she left.
"So…" Sakura began.
"So…"
"How long were you out?"
"I woke up yesterday."
"How did you react to this… erm… Arrangement?"
"How the hell did you think I fucking took it? I fucking flipped! You took it better than I did…"
"So… Do my… Our parents know that I –kinda- dropped a clay pot on your head…? We can always say it was by accident…" Sakura looked down at her hands.
"No, they don't. I told them that the clay pot flew, hit my head, and then your fence landed on top of me."
"It landed on top of you?" Sakura snorted at hearing the news.
"Fuck you… Oh wait… That reminds me. You owe me two now."
"Two? Why two?"
"Well, you didn't show up at nine… And I lied to our parents, so I deserve something, right?" Sakura's eyes went downcast and made her look evil. "Or not…"
"Well… Um… Erm… Um… You know… As much as this may hurt my pride… And dignity… Thank you…"
Syaoran smiled at her, then put on a fake shocked face. "Wow, the almighty Sakura Kinomoto said something nice!"
"Hey! I always say nice stuff it's just that you're such an asshole there's no reason to! You're no prince charming either, don't you know?"
"Yeah, well maybe I'd stop being such an asshole if you'd stop being a fucking bitch, bitch!"
"Fu-" All of a sudden, an excited and worried Touya came running into the hospital room. "-nny joke, right Syaoran?"
"Keh." Syaoran remarked as he rolled over and pouted. 'Why do I do this every time I'm around her? Can't I for once say or do something nice or right to make her like me? Instead I become a total, inconsiderate, egotistical asshole and I punish her for my mistakes. Why do I have to like her so much?'
"Oh Kaiju!" Sakura's eyes went downcast. "I was so worried about you! Don't you EVER do that again!" Touya exclaimed, then glared at Syaoran angrily. Sakura leaned over and hugged Touya tightly.
"I'm sorry 'Nii-san."
'Lucky bastard…' Syaoran thought as he saw the scene in front of him.
"SAKURA!!!!" Came a voice at the front door of the room. Touya backed away as Tomoyo came running forward from the doorway, revealing Eriol was behind her ready to grope, and hopped on top of Sakura, smothering her with a hug. "Oh my god! I was so worried! Don't you EVER do that to me again! You hear?"
At the sight of the two girls hugging in bed in front of them, they couldn't stop their other minds. "Eh…" Their eyes began to twitch with the naughty thoughts in their heads. Eriol coughed after regaining MOST control, and saw that Sakura was turning blue. "Tomoyo…" Tomoyo continued to squeeze. "Tomoyo…" She still wasn't listening. "TOMOYO-SAMA!!!"
"Huh?" She asked, pulling back to look at Eriol.
"I think Sakura is turning into a blueberry because of the lack of oxygen you are causing…"
"OOPS!" Tomoyo hopped off. "Sorry Sakura!"
"Mmmmm, blueberries…" Sakura daydreamed of finally being able to eat because the lack of food in her stomach made her feel like a model.
Tomoyo looked at Touya sitting in a chair and smiled. "Oh Touya, I haven't seen you in so long!" Tomoyo crushed Touya against her chest. "You are so cute! You remind me of Sakura! I just want to hug you, and squeeze you, and never let you go! I love you so much!"
"Lucky bastard…" Eriol said out loud in jealousy.
"Aw! Does Eriol want a hug?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah." Eriol said happily.
"Come here!" He walked over and hugged Sakura, but didn't pass the opportunity to grope her left breast. "Eriol!" She exclaimed as she knocked him upside his head.
"Nice…" Syaoran remarked as Sakura glared at both boys in the room.
Eriol coughed. "Well… I'm, just so happy you're well and was giving you a physical!"
"On my breast?"
"Just wanted to make sure your flawless br- body didn't have breast cancer!"
"Uh huh…" Another awkward silence followed, and yet again Tomoyo filled it with something random.
"Guess what I brought!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she pulled out a stack of magazines, two portable DVD players, and the Sixth and Seventh Season Sets of the television show FRIENDS!! "The two sets of Friends that have your favorite episodes! I brought them for you! Syaoran, I also brought you a DVD player, so you can watch them too!" She smiled as her body went chibi. "And I also brought a special little present for Sakura..." She showed the magazines that had buff guys in underwear on it. Then together, Tomoyo and Sakura said "Hot guys galore…"
The guys groaned after they saw that Tomoyo wasn't nice enough to bring Victoria's Secret magazines for them.
Later that night Sakura and Syaoran laid in their seperate beds, Sakura watching "The One with the Proposal" while Syaoran was watching "The One where They All Turn 30". Sakura's eyes teared up as Chandler walked through the apartment door to find lit candles EVERYWHERE and Monica in the middle of the room, remarking "You wanted it to be a surprise..."
Syaoran turned to her and arched his eyebrow. "So... Whatchya watching?"
"The one with the proposal..."
"You like that episode?"
"It's my favorite... It's so... So... Romantic."
Syaoran rolled his eyes. "Chicks..."
"Sakura! Watch out!" Syaoran ran towards Sakura and pushed her down as one of the school lights came crashing down to the spot that she once stood. His white wig's strands of hair fell to the sides of her face, meshing in with her black locks. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah… Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?"
"Are you kidding? I'm Inuyasha, remember?" She laughed at his stupid remark. "Listen, Sakura, I want you to run. Run and don't look back, it's not safe for you here."
"But, I wanna help! I can help!"
"I know you can, but if something were to happen to you... I'd... I'd go crazy… Please, just leave…" Finishing his last words, Syaoran leant down and kissed Sakura passionately on the lips before he ran off to fight the evil that was threatening their school. Sakura stood up and stared at Syaoran's dressed up, descending form.
"Syaoran!" He looked back at her to see her still standing there. "I love you!"
"I love you too, that's why I don't want you so hurt... So go!" Tears formed in Sakura's eyes as she nodded and ran out of the gymnasium. When she was clear away, she looked back at her school and screamed as it erupted in flames, killing everyone that had not been able to get out, including her friends.
"Tomoyo… Eriol…" More tears welled up as she realized the last name on her list. "Syaoran…" She fell to her knees, tearing up her knees since her schoolgirl uniform's skirt when above her knees. The last image of Syaoran telling her he loved her played over and over again. The way the silver wig fit on his head, with the dog ears on top, and the red haori and white blouse he had worn to make himself Inuyasha from the manga. "NOOOOOO!!!!!"
"Sakura! Sakura wake up! Sakura!" Syaoran screamed, trying to wake her up from her tossing, turning, sweating, moaning, and crying, that gave him the clue that she was having a nightmare. "Sakura!" Her eyes snapped open and looked at him, and without thinking bolted into Syaoran's arms, crying.
"Please don't leave me… Please…" She said into his hospital gown, crying hard into his shoulder.
"Sakura…" He said as he hugged her back, trying to comfort her, when suddenly the bed began to shake. "An earthquake?" He took Sakura into his arms and stood away from the bed, holding her to him, to find there was no earthquake. The bed continued to shake and rattle and levitate until, finally, it stopped and slammed into the ground. "I'm not putting you back on that thing… Hate you or not, there's no way. My parents would kill me…"
She continued to cry. "Th-Thank you…"
He looked down at her face. "For what?"
"For being here for me… For not pushing me away even though you hate me. Thanks for being nice… For once."
He smiled at the beginning, then frowned at the end of the sentence. "Since you had a nightmare and you're completely vulnerable, I'll pretend I didn't hear that." He walked over to his bed and laid both of them in it. Sakura closed her eyes and smiled in comfort, snuggling up closer to Syaoran. "Sakura?" Sakura made a noise as if saying 'yes'. "Can I tell you something?" another reply. "I don't hate you… I've never hated you… I actually… I kinda like you…" All he got in reply was a soft snore. Syaoran chuckled as he looked down at the tear-streaked, sleeping Sakura. "Goodnight Sakura." He whispered as he fell asleep next to her on the hospital bed.
