Ahem. Pardon me. But, it seems that I have updated.
So today I went to JB Hi Fi and got five new animes! I am officially jumping up and down with happiness…apart from the fact I have to pay mum back xP but oh well! I HAVE ANIME. And no room on my shelves ;_;
The way Sakura acted towards anyone that came near her had Syaoran deeply troubled and concerned as he had not once seen something like that manifest in such a violent way. The only thing that he knew was that she'd started work with a detective agency five years ago at the age of twenty and suddenly went missing after five months of working there-not a single trace of her whereabouts known. He also noticed that most of her hatred was towards men, but she also displayed a fair amount of hostility towards women. He was distracted from his thoughts as Chii walked in holding an ice pack to her cheek with a big goofy smile on her face. "Sorry Syaoran, you might need to deal with this one." She laughed. "What happened to your face?" Syaoran asked quickly. "Miss Kinomoto punched me as soon as I walked through the door, and now she's running loose around the hospital somewhere; sorry, but she managed to knock me out." She answered goofily. "That's fine; get yourself treated alright?" Syaoran said, running out the door. "Have fun!" Chii called out.
Even knowing that she wouldn't be there Syaoran still went and checked Sakura's room just in case. He found the door open and an empty bed. "Shit." He raced down the hallway, checking rooms and asking anyone if they had seen his patient. One of the nurses pointed to the main hall that led to the main entrance of the psych ward, claiming that she just thought she was having a little walk about. "Thanks." Syaoran said, leaving the nurse and continuing his search.
He soon found her lying outside the doors in the dark, the winter night not helping her situation in any way. He rushed out and carefully picked her up, carrying her back inside and to her room where he placed her back in the bed. He looked at her charts from the last seven days, noticing that her mental and physical states were deteriorating with each day. He wanted so badly to protect and help her, yet he had no idea how. He looked at her sleeping face, an image flashing into his mind; Sakura was sitting in her bed with the window open, a cool breeze blowing through the room. She turned her head and smiled-her smile was beautiful, so full of warmth and kindness. "Good morning Syaoran." Her sweet voice floating through the air. He blinked and the image disappeared, returning to the sleeping face of Sakura. She was pale, and shifted uncomfortably in her sleep. Screams erupted from her mouth, and she started thrashing around in the bed knocking over the drip that Syaoran had just re hooked her up to. He grabbed her wrists carefully to avoid the wounds, waking her up. "Sakura, you're alright. You're here now." He said softly. She stopped for a moment, but fear crept into her eyes as she realised Syaoran was holding her wrists. "Let go!" she screamed. He immediately let go, allowing her to regain her normal rhythm of breathing. He sat down in the chair beside the bed, pulling out a clip board and pen. "How are you feeling today?" he asked softly. She didn't say anything, just glared at him. He wrote something on the paper in front of him, and then asked another question. "Do you remember what happened to you?" he asked. She stopped breathing for a minute or so, turning deadly pale. Once again, she started screaming; "No! Don't touch me I beg you! Please! No! I didn't mean to say anything, please, don't hurt me!" She screamed. She held her head in her hands, thrashing about in the bed. "Calm down Sakura; you're safe-it's me, Syaoran." He said soothingly. "Please…" she whimpered. She'd stopped screaming and thrashing upon hearing Syaoran's voice, but she still seemed to be deeply traumatized. "It's alright, you don't have to tell me today." Syaoran whispered. "Please…" she whimpered again. "What's wrong?" Syaoran asked softly. "I don't ever want to see him again…" she whimpered again. "See whom?" he asked. "Please-never again!" She cried. "Sakura, it's ok. No one will see you unless I'm accompanying the visitor. I promise." He said softly. She looked at him; once again, he saw anguish and pain in her eyes, but most of all it was the sadness in her deep green emeralds that caused Syaoran to worry the most. What could have made her so upset, so in pain? He wondered. Sakura turned her head to the window, where it was pelting down with rain. The Sakura tree outside her bedroom window was flowerless and dull, looking bleak against the rain. Syaoran stood up, leaving the room quietly as he didn't want to disturb her thoughts.
Chii walked cheerfully down the hall, pulling aside Syaoran as she walked past him to tell him something. "What's wrong Chii?" Syaoran asked. "As your assistant I have come with a request from the director!" Chii announced cheerfully. "What is it?" Syaoran asked. "Well you see, he'd like to see you for himself." She replied. "When?" he asked. "Oh, now I think. I'm pretty sure it's important." Chii answered casually. "Alright-could you please give Sakura her medicine; she's due for it." Syaoran requested. "Will do doc!" Chii replied, skipping down the hallway.
Syaoran knocked on the door to the director's office, awaiting permission to enter. "Come in." came the voice from a young man. Syaoran entered, shutting the door behind him. "You wanted to see me Fai?" Syaoran said. The blonde man sitting in a plush chair behind a dark wooden desk looked up, his deep blue eyes settling on Syaoran. "Thank you for coming, Syaoran." He greeted. Syaoran took a seat in front of the desk, ready for discussion. "What's wrong?" Syaoran asked his friend and boss. "I know this might sound a bit selfish of me, but I need you to focus only on Sakura for now." Fai requested. "Of course, but if you don't mind me asking-why?" Syaoran responded. "From the reports that I've been getting, it seems that the only person she doesn't attack on site is you-I need you to take care of her, because I know that no one else can take on this task." Fai answered sadly. "I see…I'll do what I can." Syaoran said. "Thanks Syaoran, I knew I could count on you." Fai smiled. "I don't mean to intrude, but may I ask why you're so worried about her?" Syaoran asked. Fai sighed and smiled. "Well, to be honest she's my cousin." Fai answered. "Don't worry; I'll look after her." Syaoran promised. "Thanks. I really appreciate it." Fai smiled.
Well that's it for now… I had a really hard time trying to figure this chapter out! I hope you guys enjoy it though. Seems Syaoran's going to have a really hard time in the next chapter!
