Wishes Do Come True
By: Sakura aka Michelle
Part V - Last Part
----------------------------
Syaoran sat on a chair beside Sakura's bed and watched her, sleeping so peacefully and painfully kawaii. He resisted the urge to shake her up out of pure desperation. He took out the velvet box and opened it with care, (a/n: guess what it contains) admiring the sparkle of the ring that greeted him. (a/n did you guess it?)
Tomoyo came into the room without his knowledge and smiled sadly when she saw Syaoran, who did not noticed her. Her smile widened as she pulled out a video camera from her bag without making any noise and got into position. She aimed the camera at him, pressed the record button and coughed to get his attention.
He jumped from his seat instantly and fumbled with the box before shoving it back into his pocket with a blush on his face. "Daijouji-san!"
"Hohoho." Tomoyo laughed and Syaoran sweatdropped.
"Don't you dare show this tape to other people. This is meant to be a surprise," Syaoran warned darkly.
"I don't dare to promise," Tomoyo joked.
Syaoran ignored her and sat back down on his chair with a brooding expression on his face. "When is Sakura waking up? She has been sleeping dor one whole week already."
"Her external injuries has all healed ling tie ago but I am not sure about internal injuries or concussions," Tomoyo commented.
"I guess she has injured her head very seriously then," came a matured lady's voice.
Syaoran stiffened immediately and stood upright instantly, as rigid as a pole and greeted, "Mother."
"I guess my son is doing well in Japan," Yelan commented and entered, with Meiling following closely behind.
"I should say that Sakura should be dead after being knocked down by a full speed car but I guessed she jumped up and rolled over the car instead," Meiling said. "Thus saving her life." (a/n: Is there such a thing? Nevermind.)
Syaoran replayed the scene in his mind. He saw Sakura running across thee road and she stopped to look back at him for a moment and that was when she shouted out a warning to her. She turned, wide-eyed, and saw the car driving towards her at top speed. She shook her head frantically as if she knew who the driver was but she shut her eyes, knowing that the car could not stop in time. Just before the car hit her, she leapt onto it but the impact was too great that she rolled over the top and landed onto the ground, squeezing her eyes tightly shut and panting from exertion.
"Oi Syaoran," Meiling said. "You should take a rest. You don't look good to me."
Syaoran shook his head and stubbornly refused to leave the hospital room. "I promised her that I will be here when she wakes up."
Yelan sighed, "So you really loves this lady here, don't you, Syaoran?"
"Yes mother. I am sorry to disappoint you."
"You are never a disappointment, Syaoran. You let go of the Clow cards and capture their mistress's heart." Meiling interjected, then blushed when all of them looked at her, "I wasn't thinking."
"I can take over the watch while you take a nap here, son," Yelan offered, touched by Syaoran's love for Sakura.
"But."
"I will wake you up if something happens. You need your rest."
"Since you said so." Syaoran agreed with the idea reluctantly and stretched out on the couch to take a quick nap.
Yelan chuckled and told Meiling, "Do you wish to go back first? I can ask Wei to arrange for you."
"Thank you, aunt Yelan but I prefer to go to Daijouji-san's house before I return home. We have. something to discuss."
"Sure," Yelan said and gave Meiling the permission.
She turned her attention back to Sakura. Now then. she should be awake by now since she suffered no concussions. Yelan thought. That is left with one reason.
"Hiiragizawa Eriol," Yelan muttered.
------------------------------------------------
In England, Hiiragizawa Eriol smiled and complimented himself, "Such perfect timing. Wonderful. simply wonderful!"
"What do you want to do with Sakura, master Eriol?" Nakuru asked.
"Hope you don't intend to hurt her," Spinel Six told him.
Eriol chucked, "Harm her? Why should I do that?"
"Who knows?" retorted Nakuru and Spinal Six at the same time.
"It is a present for my cure descendant," Eriol confessed, then smiled over it.
Nakuru shrugged, "I said that he has gone crazy."
"Be glad he is not after you life for saying that right in front of his face."
------------------------------------------------
Sakura could hear everything around her but could not move at all; she felt weak all over and her body just would not respond. The most peculiar thing was that she did not feel hungry at all, even if she had not eaten anything for a week.
What is happening to me?
She would often wake up at night, only to find that it was quiet and that was when Syaoran always talked to her. cooed her out of the coma. I am not in coma, am I? If I am, why am I still able to hear Syaoran so clearly?
"Sakura." came Syaoran's voice. "I know you often. overslept but I think this is getting out of hand. You had actually slept for ten days and there you are, sleeping so soundly, where I am panicking here.
"Don't you dare leave me Sakura. If you leave me." Syaoran threatened. "I will make Yuki my bride; she will be more than happy to fill your shoes."
She felt him life her into his arms and rocked her, "Wake up please, Sakura. I promise I will cook for you, help you do your household chores for the rest of your lives. If only you open your eyes,"
His anger faded into anguish and longing, "Look at my soul Sakura. It was black before you came into my life. It was meaningless but after you entered my life, I feel responsible. happier than I ever can be; you have changed my whole life, Sakura. Only you can do it."
"Take me with you please." Syaoran pleaded and laid his cheeks against her. "Sakura. I love you." Take me with you; I want to be with you."
Somewhere in the hospital, the clock chimed twelve.
He felt a movement against her cheek and gasped. Had he actually imagined it? He leaned back to look at her and saw her lips moving but her voice was too soft to hear. He leaned down to hear it more clearly.
"What Sakura? What are you trying to say?" Syaoran encouraged.
Sakura gulped and tried again. Syaoran listened to her, then roared out with laughter, his shoulders shaking with mirth.
Do you want to know what Sakura had just told Syaoran?
"She said that Yuki has big feet!" Syaoran told the others the next morning with a blushing Sakura on the bed.
"I had no choice! My throat was too dry to speak and the best I can do was to whisper!" Sakura reasoned.
"Hey gaki," Touya warned. "Don't try my anger my sister; she has just woke up from her coma."
Sakura was about to shout to her brother to tell him to keep his mouth shut when a knock sounded on the door. Everyone in the room paused to take a look at the person.
"Yuki-san?" Sakura breathed out. "Do come in."
"Er. I-I just want to tell you something," She looked at the people in the room and was feeling uneasy with all the eyes on her. "In private?"
"Sure. sure," Sakura replied with a smile, chasing each person out of the room. Syaoran had to be peeled off from his seat by Touya to give the two ladies the privacy they needed.
"I am sorry for what I have done to you before, Kinomoto-san."
Sakura beamed at her, "It was no big deal. Do not take it to heart."
"But."
"I already have forgotten everything."
"Can we... still be friends?"
Sakura clasped Yuki's hands in hers, "We always are."
"Thank you... thank you so much," Yuki sobbed.
"Don't cry; it will make you look awful," Sakura joked.
"By the way, Kinomoto-san," Yuki said. "Can you give me something?"
Without bothering to wait for Sakura's answer, Yuki continued, "I want your brother."
A loud thump could be heard from the other side of the door, followed by giggles and some laughter. Sakura stood rooted to the spot, entirely speechless. "Sorry? What did you just say?"
"I. Want. Your. Brother," Yuki repeated shyly.
"Oh my." Sakura drawled out, slapping her hands on her forehead.
"I am serious this time."
Tomoyo burst into the room with a parcel in her hands. She stopped right in front of Sakura, demanding her attention. "This is for you."
"Hoe?"
"It is from your secret admirer," Tomoyo explained.
Syaoran rushed into the room upon hearing them and ripped open the parcel out of anger. He was motionless for a moment as he was reading something then he was shouting angrily and gritted his teeth.
"What does it says, Syaoran?" Sakura asked, picking up the bits and pieces of paper that was left behind of the parcel.
"Nothing. when are you able to be discharged from the hospital?"
"Hoe? I should be able to return home tomorrow."
"Good. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning then."
Sakura was confused by his sudden change of attitude, "I guess it is alright with me. if onii-chan says yes. I don't wish to see the two of you fighting over me."
"Kinomoto-san, so do I get Touya?" Yuki asked.
"Why you." Meiling interjected. "You have to win this round first!"
This particular fight went on and on until Sakura fell asleep, together with Syaoran, from the boredom of watching them hurling insults at each other. Yelan, Tomoyo and Touya had wisely left for home and Yukito went for his food hunt.
When is this fight going to stop? Sakura thought before falling asleep.
------------------------------------------------
Syaoran had dragged Sakura to the King Penguin Park and left her sitting on the bench while he walked about the area, as if he was searching for something important to him. Why.he was looking so worried.
She went onto her knees and hands to search, shouting to Syaoran at the other far end, "What are we looking for, Syaoran?"
"A box," came the reply. "A velvet box."
Sakura stared at the object under the bench she was sitting on. Is this the one? Sakura thought seriously and flattened against the ground in order to reach it. What is inside?
"How did you lose it?"
"Hiiragizawa stole it from me and threw it here," Syaoran muttered, clearly he was angry with Eriol.
"Hoe?"
Hearing Sakura's favourite exclamation from her own mouth made him smile. "He has magic, remember?"
"Oh." Sakura gasped, half from the explanation and half from what she saw. A ring? Syaoran is proposing to another lady? How can this be? She closed the box again and asked Syaoran, "Is this the one?"
Syaoran whirled back and looked relieved when he saw the box. "Yes! Yes! You have found it! I spent my fortune on this," When he caught the worried look Sakura gave him, he added, "I was merely exaggerating."
"Are you proposing to Yuki-san?" Sakura asked, looking down sadly.
Syaoran laughed out and pulled Sakura to him, "What more can I ask for when I already have you?"
"Really?" Sakura asked, turning red from embarrassment for having asked such a question.
Syaoran suddenly let go of her hand to go down onto one knee and looked up at her, feeling nervous out of a sudden. What is he doing? Sakura thought, totally confused. "Syaoran?"
"Sakura, will you make me the luckiest man on Earth by marrying me?"
Sakura gaped, gasped and stared. So he was intending to propose to me! Now I get it why he was acting so strange this past few days.
"Will I?" Sakura heard herself asking and felt him stiffen in response. She knelt down onto her knees and leaned into him, hugging him tightly to her, "I will, Syaoran."
Syaoran chuckled, "Of course you will, if not I will pester you from dawn to dusk until you agree. Now, it is time for me to open the box."
He stopped when he saw a piece of paper protruding from the box. He pulled it out and read it, out of curiosity and smiled, then tossed the paper away. It was a note from Eriol.
"What are you reading? Why did you throw it away? I didn't see it when I found the box."
"It is nothing of importance. I am going to slide this ring onto your ring finger, Sakura. Do I have your permission?" He asked jokingly.
He earned a giggle from Sakura, "Silly, the permission is yours a long time ago. There is no need to ask it from me."
With that, Syaoran slid the sparkling ring onto Sakura's ring finger and admire how well it fits on it. He clutched her hand to his hart tenderly and vowed, "I will make you happy and smile everyday. This is a promise."
Sakura said nothing but nodded her head in agreement and grinned at Syaoran. "I did not expect that someone would want to marry me. I am onii- chan's kaijuu."
"You are not your onii-chan's kaijuu," Syaoran stated firmly. "You will be my wife soon."
"I won't miss his scene in the whole world," Tomoyo said, appearing from her hiding place behind the bushes.
Syaoran gaped while Sakura blushed.
"You have done me proud, son," Yelan commented behind Tomoyo. "You have finally captured the card mistress's heart."
"No mother," Syaoran disagreed, looking down at Sakura and grinned at her. "I have captured my future. With Sakura."
A gust of wind flew by and blew Eriol's note across the garden. It read:
Dearest cute descendant of mine,
I knew Sakura would find this box first so I put this note in after she opened the box. I guess wishes do come true for the both of you. Congratulations! I will be waiting for your invitation to your wedding reception. Guess what? I am the mastermind of Sakura-san's coma but I did not plan the accident! You must be relieved when she woke up yesterday, the 24th of December. That is your Christmas present this year. All the best to you in winning Sakura from Touyas hands. May your wish come true sooner.
Yours sincerely,
Hiiragizawa Eriol.
