Wishes Do Come True
By: Sakura aka Michelle
Part IV

----------------------------

Sakura felt that someone was staring at her throughout the whole lesson. There was of absolutely no need to turn around to find out who the person was. Only one name flashed through Sakura's mind.

"Yuki-san."Sakura muttered softly with a shake of her head.

"Kinomoto-san!" The History teacher barked.

I wonder what is Yuki-san up to. Sakura thought solemnly. Hope she will not harm Syaoran.

"KINOMOTO-SAN!" The teacher literally shouted across the classroom and this brought Sakura onto her legs.

"Ye-yes, Nazai-sensei?"

"Are you paying attention in my class?"

Sakura broke out in cold sweat; she knew that everyone was looking at her now, probably even snickering. She disliked being the attention getter in the class; it made her so uncomfortable as she hardly interacted with them. What do I tell her?

She was angry now. Nazai-sensei almost erupted violently like the other times, when she had boldly fallen asleep in her class. "I-I am not paying much attention, sensei," Sakura admitted.

"You," Nazai-sensei said, walking around Sakura and examining her. "Are going to the detention class after school for only fifteen minutes. Don't you dare to bargain with me, girl," She added when Sakura opened her mouth to protest.

Groaning, Sakura leaned onto her table and pouted angrily. Why me again? It is always me! She started banging onto her table but stopped instantly when she caught the glare Nazai was giving her. Hope Syaoran is not fetching me today or he will have to wait for sometime.

"Hoe."

"Kinomoto-san." Nazai warned.

"I am sorry!"

------------------------------------------------

Syaoran leaned against the tree outside Tomoeda High School and waited patiently for the bell to ring, so that he can fetch Sakura home.

Oh man. I cannot stand a minute without her. I am hopelessly taken in with her. Syaoran thought. But it is not that bad after all.

He let his thoughts flew by while waiting for the time to pass. He was jolted back by the dramatically loud bell that marked the end of the lessons for the day. Syaoran watched as the students, dressed smartly in their uniform, filed past him.

Many faces past by him but he did not get to see Sakura.

Where is she? Syaoran thought with a frown. He was about to search for her in the school when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. He whirled around and pushed the person's hands away from him.

"Syaoran darling." Yuki purred. "Here to take me home?"

Syaoran snorted, "Don't be disgusting, lady."

Determined, knowing that Sakura could be watching them from the detention class, Yuki pressed closer to Syaoran and clung to him fiercely, refusing to let go. Syaoran yelled and struggled to get rid of her.

Unknown to Syaoran, Sakura was indeed in the detention class, watching them.

------------------------------------------------

Sakura entered the empty detention class, dragging her feet behind her, she felt that her life had seeped out of her. Always me in here.

She flopped down onto one of the chairs and lay her head on the table, letting out a frustrated sigh. Syaoran could be waiting for me outside the gates now. Hurrying over to the windows, Sakura scanned the surroundings and found Syaoran almost instantly. The only thing that unsettled her was that he was not alone.

Yuki was with him.

Moreover, she was clinging to him and yet Syaoran made no move to disengage her. Her eyes made contact with Yuki's and she caught her wicked smile. Sakura almost threw herself out of the windows to separate the two of them. She did her best to restrain herself.

Jealously.Sakura thought, trying to calm herself down. Is the common weakness of all mankind. Jealously. made the whole world an ugly one. I will not be jealous. I will not be jealous. Just trust him and let the things flow smoothly.

------------------------------------------------

"Let go of me!" Syaoran finally tore free, throwing Yuki onto the ground.

She cried out in pain and Syaoran winced from that sound. He did not mean to hurt her. He threw Yuki his handkerchief and looked up. Then his heart stopped.

Sakura was there in one of the classroom, watching them with wide eyes. His heart fell when he saw Sakura squeezed her eyes tightly shut and walked away. This is a misunderstanding! Sakura!

Yuki's eyes glinted and she smiled, a wicked witch's smile. "Syaoran darling, could you please help me up?"

"Help yourself!" He growled at her, angry now that Sakura was not going to talk to him because of Yuki.

"I am not going until you help me up."

"Suit yourself."

Sakura appeared behind Yuki out of a sudden, startling the both of them. For one moment, Yuki thought Sakura was going to hit her and she braced herself for the impact.

None came.

Instead, Sakura helped Yuki to her feet and apologized. "I apologized on behalf of Syaoran. He did not mean to injure you."

A minute of silence followed by and Syaoran was the first to react. "Sakura, I-I."

"Say no more," She interrupted and smiled at Yuki, who was too stunned to move.

Yuki slapped Sakura's hands away from her and glared at her. "Do not think that you are so great after escaping from the forest. Syaoran will be mine! Mine!"

Sakura stared at the ground, motionless. She did not react to Yuki's words, which had her frustrated and stomped away.

"Sakura?"

"I-I am going home," She said and walked away, not bothering to wait for Syaoran.

Syaoran's shoulders slumped in defeat as he followed Sakura, determined to keep her safe. I should have known. I should have known.

No one was at home when Sakura returned. The house was unusually quiet for the day. Fujitaka and Touya had gone back to work while Yukito had gone back to his own house. Sakura had only Syaoran to talk to but she did not feel like talking now that she had many things to talk about.

Syaoran stopped Sakura when she was about to close the door to her bedroom. "Can I do some explaining to you?"

She was silent for a moment before she opened the door wide enough for him, "Sure, I won't stop you."

Sakura sat down on her bed and waited for Syaoran to start explaining but when he did not, she looked up at him and gasped instantly. He was looking at her with pleading eyes, hoping she could forgive him.

"Things were not as what you saw just now, Sakura. I was about to look for you when that girl cling to me and refused to let go."

"I know."

"No you don't. I tried to push her away and I did, just before I saw you. closing you eyes at us."

"I believe you," Sakura stated and started at Syaoran, who wore an expression of disbelief. "I do believe you Syaoran. How do I convince you of that?"

She started unbuttoning her school blouse and Syaoran panicked, blushed and trued to stop her, "What are you doing?"

"Make love to me. This is the only way for you to be convinced that I do believe you-"

"Sakura," he interrupted. "Things don't work this way."

"They don't?" Sakura asked, feeling tears blinding her eyes.

"No."

"Then how am I supposed to convince you?" Sakura wailed.

Syaoran said nothing but continued to look at her.

"You don't understand what I feel!" Sakura burst out suddenly, catching Syaoran by surprise.

"Sakura?"

She tore free from him and ran out of the house to find an isolated spot to calm herself down, with Syaoran shortly behind. She longed to be alone right now at this point of time. She did realize that it was useless to argue with Syaroan; he just did not understand her enough.

Sakura ran across the road.

Syaoran shouted out a warning.

She looked up and saw a car, driving at top speed towards her.

It was too late.

Syaoran's heart stopped when Sakura rolled over the top of the car and landed on the road motionless and bleeding. The car had stopped and a crowd had began to gather around Sakura.

The driver stepped out, wide-eyed and trembling all over, and looked at Syaroan. He knew who she was immediately. "You! You again!"

"I don't mean to-"

Syaoran was not there anymore and Yuki felt like crying. It was true that she hated Sakura but she really did not wish her to die. What have I done? Oh god!

------------------------------------------------

He rushed to her, pushing at the crowd to reach her and saw her then. She was breathing rapidly, her face a mask of pain and agony. She was whimpering and bleeding too much. Syaoran knelt down, not daring to touch her, knowing that he would cause additional pain if he did so.

"Sa-Sakura?"

She opened one eye weakly when she heard her name. Her mind was spinning so much and so painfully that she wanted to die. Her vision was blur and it was painful to focus. She panicked as a spiralling black orb was sucking her in.

"S-Syaroan?"

"Don't close your eyes!" He shouted when Sakura's eyes fluttered close and he hurried to place her hand beside his cheek. "Sakura!"

Her fingers moved against his cheeks in a caressing manner and she whispered. "I love. you always-"

Sakura fainted right after her last words. Syaoran let out a shout, filled with torment and anguish. People around him closed their eyes and began to pray.

They prayed for Sakura.

------------------------------------------------

Syaoran paced about outside the emergency room Sakura was in. It had been two hours that Sakura was admitted. This is taking too long... He stopped in front of the trembling Yuki to glare at her before he ignored her totally.

"I did not mean to knock into her. I didn't mean to."

"Shut up will you?!"

Just then, Fujitaka, Touya, Yukito and Tomoyo came rushing towards them with a frantic expressions on their faces. "What had happened?" demanded Touya.

"Ask her," Syaoran spat angrily and pointed to Yuki.

"Isn't this Yuki-san?" Tomoyo asked, with a tint of curiosity. "What is she doing here?"

"I did not mean to." Yuki murmured and started crying all over again.

"Can't you just stop crying?" Touya muttered. "It is getting on my nerves."

Miraculously, the crying stopped. Yuki looked up timidly at Touya and blushed. Syaroan could not believe that this was actually happening. Yuki has obviously falling for Touya.

The lights above the door to the E.R. flickered off and the door opened, revealing a surgeon with his helpers. They bowed to Syaoran's gang, causing them to break out I cold sweat, and said, "The operation is a success."

For one moment, Syaoran's gang heaved a sigh of relief at the same time but another surgeon continued, "But she is in coma. We do not know when exactly she will wake up."

"What do you mean?" Fujitaka asked.

"She might sleep on forever." came the reply. "You may wish to s her right now but she won't be able to hear you."

Syaoran went in, together with Fujitaka and Touya. Tomoyo had wisely stayed outside, knowing that she would break down upon seeing Sakura. Yukito had offered to keep her company. On the other hand, Yuki was too guilt-stricken to go in.

Syaoran winced when he saw the numerous tubes that was attached to Sakura. Touya groaned and Fujitaka almost fainted. This was why Touya brought his father out for some fresh air, leaving Syaoran alone with Sakura.

He touched her cheek gently and told her in a gentle tone, "I know you will wake up someday, Sakura. I just know it and when you wake up, I am going to propose to you and make you my wife. Do you hear me, Sakura? You will be my bride and we will have beautiful children running about at home. Please wake up from your dreams soon, my dearest Sakura."

Syaoran patted her hand and pressed a kiss to her forehead before leaving reluctantly.

Unknown yo him, a tear slipped off from Sakura's eyes and rolled down her cheek.
