"talking"

'thinking'

Syaoron's POV

His eye's opened while in the ambulance. He felt every bump of the busy city streets, every turn as they headed towards the hospital, his head spinning as they rounded corners.

He could feel the drugs rushing through his veins from the dripping IV that the paramedics put in his arm. It made it hard for him to focus on one thing, his vision blurred.

He felt something small move with-in his grasp, he looked down to see a hand beneath his own. He slowly followed it up, trailing the smooth skin past the wrist, up the forearm and continued until he reached her face.

Green eye's stared back at him.

'So it wasn't a dream'

He thought as he looked at this small girl who all but saved his life. She looked back in pure astonishment, giving him a small smile none the less.

No doubt trying to give him some sense of reassurance.

Then his world went black.

He dreamt of earlier that night, walking through the alley with Tsubaki on their way to head quarters. They were talking about nothing in particular, their guns hidden in the waist of their pants, usually ready for anything.

His instincts kicked in just a moment to late as he heard foot steps behind him. He felt the sticky liquid spread across his torso before the pain.

Spinning around he saw 4 men there, One on each wall leaning against them. The others held knives in their hands, guns still in holsters just in case.

They didn't want to gain any unwanted attention.

He looked down to his side, the pain, crippling and white hot, just starting to kick in. His hand's moved to his side to cover the wound, An effort that seemed to be in vain.

Syaoran turned his head to look at his friend, already on the ground, unmoving.

A stillness that could only be accompanied by death.

He felt himself falling to his knee's, cursing himself for letting someone catch him off guard as he buckled to the ground.

He opened his eyes again only to be temporarily blinded by the bright lights passing by rapidly over head.

His eyes squinting as he searched for the green eyed girl, every time he woke up she seemed to be there.

As if she were watching over him.

This time was different. All that surrounded him were tall men in long white lab coats barking out orders while poking at his side, causing his wound to throb even more.

His ears rang with all the commotion going on around him, he couldn't even tell them to stop. The pain to overwhelming to do much but let out raspy groans of discomfort.

His eye lids became to heavy to keep open, the drugs to strong for his mind to fight off.

He slipped into unconsciousness once more as they put him on a silver table, a round, bright light hung over head as the doctors started to work on him.

Sakura's POV

She paced back and forth in the waiting room, becoming impatient as she waited for an answer as to how the stranger was doing.

She didn't know why she was so worried, she couldn't even understand why she was still there. She held no ties to this man, she knew nothing about him but still, she was to kind to just leave him here alone.

At least that was her excuse if someone were to ask her of their relationship, in reality she felt something she couldn't explain.

She felt a need to stay with him until she knew he was okay, she had to know he was okay.

Sakura pulled out her cell phone needing to speak to someone, she was at her limit when it came to dealing with this on her own. The first face that came to mind was her best friend, without a second thought she dialled Tomoyo's number.

Her hand shook as she dialled the numbers she had memorized long ago, her breath unsteady as she put the phone to her ear. She kept her eyes focused on nothing in particular, everything around her blurring together.

Her hand lifting up to rub the back of her neck in an attempt to release some tension that strained her muscles.

"Hello?" came a familiar voice on the other end of the line.

"Tomoyo! Ohh do I ever have so much to tell you, you'll never believe it all. That and I'm going to need a small favour hehe" she spoke in a hurried tone to her friend.

Sakura didn't give her a chance for a reply as she gave instructions for her to get to the hospital quickly and bring her car. She was going need a ride home later in the night.

"The hospital? Why on earth are you there? Are you okay? What is going on?"

She knew that her friend was worried for her safety, she could hear her rushing through the house in the background. A small crash of what was probably a lamp falling over as she went.

"Tomoyo, calm down I'm fine. Get here and I'll tell you what happened 'kay?"

The conversation ended soon after that, after making her friend swear not to tell her brother or father. She already knew how that would end and did not have the patience for it at the moment. Shuddering at the thought of how her brother would react to all of this.

She glanced at the clock, 2 hours had passed by with him on the surgeons table, the clock nearing midnight.

With a sigh of impatience she went to sit down, just as a man with dark curly hair and stormy grey eyes in a white lab coat walked up to her.

She stood up straight, not having sat down completely, as he took a few more steps towards her leaving a small space between them. Her heart raced as she glanced up, not having come past his shoulders, while she waited for the man to give her the news.

Clammy moisture rose to her palms while the doctor started to speak. The stranger, Syaoron, was going to be okay and was currently in a private recovery room. None of his vital organs damaged.

She could see him if she wished, something she didn't know if she should do but walked forward despite her doubts.

She followed the dark haired doctor to the room Syaoron laid in, hesitating outside the door for a moment before she walked in leaving the doctor in the hall way.

She turned at the sound of the door clicking shut behind her, expecting the doctor to have followed her in.

There was no one behind her, she had a hunch that he wanted to give her time alone with the man that lay motionless in the bed.

Probably thinking something along the lines of them being lovers. Her cheeks going red at the thought.

She walked over to the body that lay in the bed, a heart monitor beeping quietly by his head announcing the strong beat of his heart.

An IV drip on the other side connected to his arm. She looked at his face, surprised that the only wound he had received was in his side.

Usually one would expect there to be cuts and bruise's covering every inch of the victims skin, but he had no others.

'Strange'

she thought as she walked up the side of the bed, her hand trailing across the white sheets that covered it's occupant.

For the first time she took a good look at the man before her, she found that, to her surprise, she liked what she saw.

His tanned skin smooth with out blemish, held a strong jaw line and bone structure. Broad shoulders and arms that were obviously well built.

His chest rhythmically rising and falling, was muscular as well. Nothing over the top but this man had worked hard to perfect his body.

She continued to examine his features when she noticed his dark hair falling over his eyes, his brow knotting together in his slumber. An obvious sign of annoyance.

She pushed it gently to the side without realising what she was doing.

It was that moment Tomoyo burst through the door, a bright light illuminating the dark room for a moment as she ran in. Barely stopping to close it in her hurry.

When she did the only light coming through was from its small window once again.

Sakura, slightly startled, stared at her friend as she retracted her hand quickly, hoping she wasn't caught.

She saw that Tomoyo was out of breath, no doubt having had run all the way from the hospital parking lot to the third floor.

"Alright Sakura, tell me what is going on!…"

It was that moment that Tomoyo had noticed a body in the bed. Her eyebrow quirking in question as she asked, "and who is this?"

Sakura didn't need much more then that to launch in her explanation of what had happened. The account still fresh in her mind as she told the story, Tomoyo absorbing everything she said.

Sakura had pointedly left out anything that would throw her friend in a series of questions of course of the overall situation. Knowing it was all to possible for Tomoyo.

Tomoyo's POV

She ran from her car, the glossy black door slamming shut, creating an echo in the underground parking lot. Her waist length hair flittered behind her, her shoes clicking against the hard flooring as she ran.

When she got the phone call from Sakura her heart had nearly stopped at the word "hospital" in fear her best friend were hurt.

When she got to the front desk she had to repeat herself twice before anyone had understood her, words fumbling over words. The nurse giving her the information she needed when she was able to form a coherent sentence.

Handing her the sign in sheet her amethyst eyes barely read the visitor rules as she signed. She didn't notice Sakura's name written just a few slots above.

The moment she found out the room number she raced off towards her destination, Sakura said she was okay but with that girl that could just be her trying not to cause worry.

Running up stairs, down hallways, and rounding corners she almost knocked over at least a handful of people, their protest's fading in her wake.

She ran by the room once by accident, skidding to a stop realizing her mistake, bursting through the door when she finally found it.

Her eye's scanning the room to find her auburn haired friend, only to find her standing up right with out a scratch on her.

Bending over to rest her hands on her knee's as she tried to catch her breath, she spoke.

"Alright Sakura, tell me what is going on!.." her voice trailed off as she looked up to see that her friend stood on the opposite side of the room, a single bed separated them.

Much to her relief as her mind tried to make sense of the situation.

"And who is this?" suddenly jumping to conclusions, one of them being that Sakura had a secret boyfriend that she didn't tell her about and he was hurt.

Tomoyo was about to burst at the seams as the questions floated through her brain. Just as she took an intake of breath to ask away her friend jumped in to stop her.

She spoke of her way home from Tomoyo's house, the ally way, the body that lay there and this man that she saved.

Tomoyo couldn't believe her ears.

Normal POV

He walked in to the abandoned building, smoke and laughter filled the air as people were gathered around.

Everything went quite as he opened the door, finding that alone to be a difficult as he held a body in his hands.

Everyone stopped to stare at the new comer and the package he carried, shock filled their eyes as they rushed forward to help when the scene finally processed.

"Eriol what happened?" was a popular question in this particular situation, many asked him all at once. He didn't answer right away as he walked towards one of the leather couches.

The building looked like an ordinary run down place, but on the inside it was remodelled and for most in this room, it was home.

"Syaoron and Tsubaki were on their way here, I went to meet them at 5 points street. I waited just out side the ally way they were supposed to come down, after they were late I walked down it myself hoping to run into them."

He stopped as he lay his dead friend on the couch, placing a blanket over his face. Everyone took a moment, their sadness of the loss slowly building to rage.

Eriol's hand clenched into a fist, bunching up some of the blanket as he thought of his friend beneath it.

"Eriol," he turned to see who had said his name behind him, coming face to face with Taakashi, his eye's closed and brow furrowed.

"where is Syaoron then? And what happened to them?"

Eriol looked them in the eye as he spoke, he knew his friend would be okay as long as they didn't check his finger prints. He was grateful for how this health system worked, fix first ask questions later.

"He's in the hospital. A girl, by the looks of her she was only in her teens, found him and called an ambulance. I grabbed Tsubaki and Syaoron's gun before the police got there."

There were whisper's through out the room now, no doubt echoing Eriol's thoughts from a moment before.

"We need to get him out" spoke someone from the center of the crowed. Eriol didn't care at the moment who it was.

"yes, I know. I plan on going there and staking out the place to see if they caught on to who he is. If they haven't then we move, we take him out of there and bring him back here. We have our own doctors to work on him."

Eriol got up and headed towards the door, working out any details in his head that he might have forgotten when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned to see Takashi, a smile on his face as he looked at Eriol. "you don't think I'd let you go alone now would ya? I'm commin' with."

There was only one person that could change Takashi's mind when he had set his goals and that was Syaoran. Eriol just smiled back and nodded as the two stepped towards their vehicles.

"So then" Takashi started, the smile never leaving his face "What's the plan?"

There was a pause before Eriol spoke, his glass's reflecting the lights as the two walked under them. "I'm not sure yet actually"

Takashi gave a small chuckle at his friend as he opened the passenger door of the car, gently sitting in the seat.

"sounds like fun"

With that, they sped off towards the hospital.

Sakura's POV

The sun rose up over the tree's, it shined brightly in the early morning, it's rays creeping into her window and across her face.

Her brow pulled together in frustration as she rolled over in her sleep, an attempt to keep the light out.

'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BE-' she was startled awake by her alarm clock despite her attempts of getting more sleep.

Groggy she looked at her clock with half lidded eyes. Rubbing one with her right hand they widened as she saw the time, she was late as usual.

Rushing out of bed and into the bathroom her mind reeled back to the night before, unsure if it was reality or just a dream.

She thought about it as she washed her face and brushed her teeth, trying to recall everything.

'it had to be a dream. That kind of thing doesn't happen to someone like me. But, I couldn't have made everything up.'

looking down at her hands she knew it wasn't a dream. No one could just imagine having come home to wash off the blood on their hands.

After she had changed she rushed downstairs to their kitchen. Her brother sat at the table reading a newspaper with a place of breakfast in front of him, her father at the stove making his own.

As she ran into the kitchen to grab a piece of toast she greeted them good morning.

"So I see the brat is finally awake. I'm surprised that your up this early considering how late you were out last night."

Stopping mid-bite she looked at him, then at her father, both waiting for her reply.

"Umm, I was with Tomoyo and lost track of time? Aren't you supposed to be at work Touya? What's the punishment for a police officer being late anyways?"

She looked at the clock and just as he opened his mouth to reply she nearly screamed.

"Anyway I gotta go! I'm supposed to meet up with her like 5 minuets ago. Bye!"

She ran to the front door as fast as she could, putting on her roller blades before stepping out the door.

With that her day started off just like any other day, she didn't feel like going to school after what had happened last night.

She wanted to go to the hospital and ask that man questions, but she'd have to wait till later that evening.

Eriol's POV

They were in the Hospital parking lot, staring at the building as they discussed a plan to get their leader, their friend, out the mess he landed in.

They waited, being to busy in the hospital during the day they would have to get him out later that evening.

"so you know the plan Takashi?"

With a nod, their plan was set.
