"talking"

'thinking'


Sakura's POV

Her auburn hair fell forward, making a veil that covered her face as she looked down. Concentrating on the doodle that she was currently drawing on the cover of her note book.

She was sitting in second period math class, a subject that was most certainly not her friend by any means, bored out of her mind.

The teachers voice droned on in the back ground as her mind replayed images of the man she saved. His amber eyes from when she first found him, the feeling of his much larger hand holding her own.

She felt the heat rise to her cheeks as she shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts. She felt something light hit her hand, catching her attention at once, she looked down glad for the distraction.

It was a small, folded piece of paper, black ink stood out against its white back ground saying "read me" in elegant script,

She recognized the hand writing and looked over to her best friend, her amethyst eyes looking at her with impatience.

"Hey, So what are you doing tonight? Are you going to go and see that guy in the Hospital? Please don't go see him alone! Besides don't you have to work at Kat's tonight? You normally work Fridays"

Her emerald eyes read the writing, in the back of her mind she was jealous of the elegance that lay on the page.

She looked over and smiled at her friend before starting a response, her writing looking like chicken scratch in comparison.

"Don't worry Tomoyo, I don't really plan on going back there anyway."

She knew that she should have told Tomoyo about her plans to see the man again, but a feeling told her not to.

"And no I don't have to work tonight, I switched with Kumi the day before yesterday. Why are you working tonight?"

The two girls all but forgot about math class as their paper passed back and forth between them discreetly.

One feeling guilty about lying, the other worried for her friend.


The day went by quickly for Sakura, her knee bouncing up and down with impatience as she waited for the last few minutes of school to pass by

Sitting at the back of science class, she stared at the clock as the seconds ticked by slowly.

She knew that Tomoyo would come straight to this class after her own, most likely to make sure that she went home after school, and not to the hospital.

She tapped her pencil rhythmically against her desk as she watched the minute hand finally point directly up, a shrill bell following a moment later.

Students quickly grabbed their belongings already chatting away at what they were going to do for the weekend.

With her bag already packed, her books neatly tucked in, as she bee lined it directly out of the class room as fast as she could.

An attempt to avoid Tomoyo, a feat that she knew would hurt her friends feelings but she would find a way to make up to her later.

She slung her one shoulder, purple and black plaid back pack around her body, already out the door and heading for the school gates.

She bent down to strap on her roller blades, nearly tripping in her hurry.

Once done she sped off the sidewalk and onto the street, a move that avoided the multitude of students that blocked her path.


Orange, pink and red danced in the sky by the time she reached the hospital, the sun setting behind her as she sat on the curb to take off the wheels fastened to her feet.

She walked in to the tall building, the sent of sanitization swam around her as she walked up to the front desk.

"Hi," she said in a quick breath to a bulky red headed woman. In turn the woman looked up, a scowl stood strong on her features.

"umm, I'd like to sign in for visitation please?"

With out a word, the woman grabbed the clip board with her short stout fingers and handed it to her, scoffing under her breath.

She Signed it without saying anything further, smiling as she handed it back to the angry woman.


Takashi's POV

They walked through the corridors with out a second glance from anyone walking past.

Who would question a doctor and a male nurse walking together, chatting quietly over a chart?

Seemingly a normal thing one would find in a hospital.

What other's couldn't see were the guns tucked in the waist bands of their borrowed pants.

The knives hidden on the inner and outer sides of their ankles, strapped on with black sheaths hidden from the world.

They looked at the chart then the room numbers as they walked, hurriedly down the halls.

When they finally found the room they were looking for they ducked in silently with out hesitation.

Giving a quick glance around as a precaution, the door gave a soft click as it closed.

Relief rushed through them both as they saw their friend sitting up in bed, fully awake and starring at them.

Takashi all but ran to Syaoran's bed side as Eriol calmly walking over, a smile playing on his face.

"So boss, wanna get out of here yet?" He said, his eyes still closed and a wide grin spread across his features.

They chuckled a bit, knowing all to well what it would have meant if Syaoran were to be discovered.

Suddenly they all tensed, it was a slight, whisper of a noise but they all heard it. Their instincts kicking in instantly.

The door handle slowly turned as they sprang into position, Eriol stepping in front of Syaoran as a shield.

Takashi sprang forward, diving to the side of the door.

They watched as a small figure walked in, tip toeing with their head down, attempting to be quite.

Their face unrecognizable as shadow's played across their features.

Just as they closed the door behind them Takashi sprang into action grabbing them from behind.

He placed an arm around their tiny waist and a hand came to cover the soft lips of the stranger. Muffling the screams that inevitably came.

Takashi quickly let go of their waist for a moment as he pulled the gun out from the band of his pants.

He placed the barrel dangerously against the temple of their head, successfully getting the intruders attention.

Their soft auburn hair played against his cheeks as he held the intruder close, the slight sent of strawberries wafted through the air.

The weight of the gun familiar in his hands, as he held it stead against the soft skin of the girl.

"Wait!" came a husky voice from behind Eriol.

With that everyone froze.

Takashi looked away from the girl he had captured in his arms, only to see his boss starring at her with a look they'd never seen on his face before.

Realization of who the stranger must have been dawned on him as he pulled the gun away from her head.

The girl, who had struggled before, froze when she heard Syaoran's voice, her breath hitching as she starred at his boss.


Sakura's POV

She walked down the hallway to the elevator, thinking about how Tomoyo would react when she realises she came to the hospital, to visit a stranger, alone.

The button gave a soft chime as she pushed it, the electronic numbers slowly decreasing as she waited.

When the doors finally opened she stepped in quietly, there was no one else in the small compartment with her.

Pressing the button for the 3rd floor she thought carefully as the elevator started to move, should she really be doing this?

Then there was that feeling, in the pit of her stomach that seemed to pull her forward.

When she reached the room, that held the man whose image was burned in her mind, she hesitated a moment.

She pressed her ear closer to the door, she could have sworn there were whispers on the other side, or, it could have been her imagination.

Assuming it was just the T.V. she started to turn the door handle, slowly and as quietly as possible.

Just as she closed the door she felt something snake its way around her waist, pulling her against something hard.

She tried to scream, she took a deep intake of breath to make it as loud as she could, but it failed as a hand came from behind her and covered her mouth.

For a moment the person behind her let go of her waist, taking this opportunity she grabbed their hand and began to pull it away from her mouth.

Though she froze when she felt cold, heavy, metal pressed against her hair.

Suddenly she was wishing that she had listened to Tomoyo, mentally kicking herself for not doing so.

'Never, am I ever, going to listen to my gut again!'

She thought bitterly to herself.

Her breathing started to come rapidly, panic searing through her mind, as her pulse quickened.

"Wait!"

Came a voice from across the room, it held such authority and strength she had to wonder who the man was.

The voice was a husky sound that came from deep in the mans throat, and strong enough that it captured all of their attention.

She was surprised as the man holding her removed the gun from her head, the panic subsided slightly. Only slightly.

Her breath hitched as she looked over to where the voice came from, the owner being none other then the man she rescued.

she could only stare at his upright form, her mind going blank.

His amber eye's seemed to shine in the darkness as they starred back, an intensity that held her own gaze in place as heat rushed up to her cheeks for the second time that day.

Her attention went to the man that was holding her as she felt him shift, assuming that he put the gun away as his other hand snaked around her waist once more.

"what now then boss?" He spoke, his breath tickled the hair's around her ear as she did.

"She's seen our face's, well your's and Eriol's anyway. We cant just leave her, what if she blabs?"

The man across from her gave a small sigh in frustration at the mention of his name. His hair so dark it was almost blue, fell into his eyes as he looked down.

"Takashi has a point Syaoran." he said, pinching the bridge of his nose, just under his glasses.

They all looked at Syaoran, waiting for his answer. Two in curiosity, the other held fear in her green eyes, afraid of what was going to happen to her.

"Looks like we're going to have to take her" he started, Sakura started to struggle before he continued once again.

"But! There is to be no harm once so ever to come to this girl, she did save my life after all" he said as he looked her in the eyes again.

Her struggling stopped as she sighed, for the moment giving up the fight against these men.

She believed him when he said that no harm would come to her, the look in his eyes told her that this man would repay his debt to her.

What scared her is what would happen to her after that debt was repaid. They had guns, and who knows what else.

The man who was called Takashi chuckled in her ear, shaking his head slightly as his grip on her waist loosened.

"so, uh, miss. If I let you go will you promise to keep quite? I really don't want to have to tie ya up and gag ya, ya know."

She looked at the two in front of her, she knew she didn't have a choice so she nodded her head, sighing in defeat as he slowly let her go.

If she tried to scream or run, it wouldn't matter what Syaoran said, they would have to do something to keep her quite.

"So, now do we not only have to get you out of here, dear friend, but her as well. Hmm, what a dilemma indeed. Any ideas?"

Sakura looked at Eriol as he spoke, everything clicking in as she realized that she would have to go with them as well.

Perspiration rose to the palms of her hands in fear as she stood there.


Eriol's POV

He looked around the room assessing the situation.

Now not only would they have to bring the gurney that Syaoran lay on and the IV attached to him, but this girl as well.

The original plan was that him and Takashi pose as hospital staff and just wheel Syaoran out the front door, but now there's an extra body.

Everyone turned as Takashi started to speak, his voice breaking the silence.

"well we could just hide her in the bed with Syaoran couldn't we? Ya' know just flip one side of the blanket over the bars and put a bag sticking out the top a little bit?"

They all looked at him like he were crazy, the girl, who was standing off to the side, stared at him wide eyed.

Though the plan had potential, it seemed the only thing they could do.

"cou-couldn't I just hide underneath the bed?" she spoke quietly, stuttering no doubt with fear. Or embarrassment.

He was slightly surprised that she was being so cooperative, though if he were in her shoes he might be as well.

"There is no bottom shelf miss. I am sorry that we have to take you with us, this probably isn't what you were expecting when you saved Syaoran here. And Takashi's plan seems to be the only way at the moment."

He said to her, he could see that she knew he was right, though she seemed to be looking for any other way.

"What's your name miss? It'll be easier if we knew that, just in case."

She was about to answer him, looking away from his eyes as she took a breath. Though she didn't get a chance to tell him, as Syaoran cut her off.

"Her name is Sakura. I remember that much from the alley anyway at least."

She turned to look at him at the sound of his voice, if she looked shaken about everything before, she looked slightly awed now.

A small smile came to Eriol's face as thoughts soared through his mind, his glass's gleamed evilly as he thought, maybe this girl could change everything.

"Alright! Soo lets get this get this thing goin' then huh?"

The sudden loudness of Takashi's voice startled the girl out of her trance, causing her to jump.

Syaoran and Eriol already being used to the mans randomness for far to long now, all but smiled at her sympathetically.

Eriol gave a silent laugh as Takashi walked up to Sakura, shoeing her towards the bed with a large smile plastered to his face as usual.

On the other hand, Sakura looking mortified as she resisted a bit, but climbed in beside Syaoran in the end.

She avoided all their eye's, Eriol observed, he smiled as he watched his friend look down at the girl in his bed.

Eriol doubted that his friend even knew the corners of his mouth had twitched upward.

'Yes, maybe she really could change everything.'

He thought, wanting nothing more but his friend to get away from the gang life, he hoped he could live a normal life one day.

Once she was covered completely Eriol looked over to Takashi, the smile that adorned the mans features made him think that he wasn't the only one hoping for the same thing.

"Okay, since I have to come with you guys can we just hurry up and get out of here before I do something stupid like change my mind and try to run."

Came a soft muffled voice from under the blankets.

Syaoran laughed a little bit before he groaned in pain, holding his side with his left hand, Sakura being on his right.


Sakura's POV

Takashi came over to her, grabbing her by the shoulders as he gently pushed her towards the bed.

She tried to push back in the opposite direction but her feet betrayed her as they allowed her to be guided to the bed.

She looked at anything but Syaoran as she climbed under the cover's.

She'd never been in a bed with another man before, she could hear her heart beat in her ears as she laid down beside the bed's original occupant.

She felt like she was going to burst at the seems with embarrassment if they took any longer to get moving.

"Okay, since I have to come with you guys can we just hurry up and get out of here before I do something stupid like change my mind and try to run."

She heard the man beside her laugh, she could feel the bed shake slightly as she watched his bare abdomen quiver, his abs flexing.

Her face going even more red at the sight.

Suddenly he groaned, as she remembered the wound in his side. She saw the shadow of his hand through the blankets, come up and cover the white bandage that covered his side.

From under the blankets, she gently put her hand across his stomach and touched the edges of the bandage gently.

"Sorry"

She murmured quietly. He didn't say anything in response, but instead he placed his right arm over hers, keeping her arm in place across his body.

This time she didn't resist or try to move like her mind told her to, her body once again betraying her mind.


Syaoran's POV

In all honesty he didn't know why he wanted her to stay by his side, maybe because she saved his life, or as a good luck charm.

All he knew was that he couldn't keep his eyes off the small frame of the girl that now lay beside him under the white sheets.

He didn't really have a problem with her laying by his side in this bed, his mind going off in a different direction entirely.

When she reached her soft hand over his body after he groaned in pain, his heart felt like it had skipped a beat.

Though he was better at hiding his emotions then most, he had to concentrate to do just that.

Thinking back to his training, using a lot of his will to keep him mind on track.

He didn't want her move her hand, her touch seem to subside the pain and made him feel better by the second.

He placed his arm and hand over hers on top of the blankets to keep her from moving.

He looked at Eriol and he told them to start going before they could ask questions about their current position. Knowing these two particular members of his gang all to well.

She didn't try to move her hand again as they started to move, and no one said anything further.

They had just reached the elevator as the doors slowly opened, a girl with long ebony hair rushed out from behind the doors and ran directly into Eriol.

"Sorry"

She said, her voice hurried and panicked.

He felt Sakura tense while under the sheets beside him, a small intake of breath as she heard the girl that just bounded into them.

He clenched his hand around hers to signal for her silence.

He saw her nod her head a fraction from under the blankets, telling him that she understood.

He looked over at the girl that Eriol was now holding up right, trying to steady her before she toppled onto the bed and discovered one body to many under the sheets.

The two looked at each other for a moment before the girl seemed to remember something.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Sorry again!"

With that she was gone and Takashi was once again pushing the bed forward.
