Disclaimer: Pfft. Like I'd actually own CCS. It's like me and world domination. A good match, but it ain't gonna happen. I don't Now you see it… either.
Ai yah.
I'd like to thank Tamster for providing me much support and inspiration during my writer's blocks.
On with the story!
It took me about 5 earlier rewrites until I was satisfied with the ending.
xxxxxxxxxxxx(can you tell the time lapse if you're unconscious?)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Beep Beep Beep
Groan.
Beep Beep Beep
For some odd reason, my body was extremely tired.
Particularly, it might have been that I got chucked into some incredibly cold water and was sent into a world of darkness.
Beep Beep Beep
Then again, I could try to wake up for once since that big accident and destroy whatever was making that noise.
I was never really bothered with being unconscious until I started hearing that annoying racket.
Beep Beep Beep
I wondered how long it has been since I saw anything except the pitch black night.
Beep Beep Beep
And how long it would be before I was going to stomp on whatever what making that irritating sound.
Beep Beep Beep
It would seem that the noise was bothering me on purpose.
Beep Beep Beep
This was frustrating.
Beep Beep Beep
If that machine thought that it could make me extremely… no… if that machine thought that it could make me TREMENDOUSLY PISSED OFF, then it thought wrong.
I was a calm, relaxed, and stress-free person.
Beep Beep Beep
If I could withstand being thrown into a freezing pond, a tiny tooting sound was nothing.
Beep Beep Beep
Never mind. Everybody lies. This was not annoying. It was enormously maddening.
One of my eyes took a peek at my atmosphere.
OH MY GOD! TOO BRIGHT!!! WAY TOO BRIGHT!!!!!!
I immediately shut my eye.
Okay, if you've been dumped into some pond during a very, very chaotic night, you tend to get used to the darkness.
I inhaled deeply, preparing myself to see the light.
One eye open.
Two eyes open.
My surroundings… were white.
There were white walls, a white ceiling, a white floor, a white window with a nice view and everything else a hospital room would have.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
I glared and turned my head directly towards the source of that stupid racket.
And it was that machine that tells me my heart rate…
Oops.
Anyways, a nurse came in about 5 minutes after I woke up. She seemed surprised probably due to the fact that I wasn't out cold. The woman immediately ran out and slammed the door.
Weirdo. Where was the happy and cheerful 'welcome back to the world of wide awake people?'
What's even weirder was that scream from outside.
"Oh. My. GGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!"
Ouch. Very loud.
High heels were clicking against the floor as they came closer to my room.
If I'm right, those shoes are a pair of Style & Co. "Venus" Ankle-Strap Sandals with a 4-inch covered satin heel and a side bow tie.
There was no way it could be a pair of Style & Co. "Clyde" Evening Sandals. You could totally tell the differences from the sounds of those footsteps. Besides, "Clyde" Evening Sandals were too hard to run in.
It was impossible to sprint in those. I knew. I've tried.
The door bolted open and slammed against the wall.
There stood a frantic best friend.
Ha. I knew it.
"SSSSSSAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKUUUUUURRAAAA!!!" cried Tomoyo-chan as she rushed towards me and nearly suffocated me in a bear hug. "YOU'RE ALIVE!!! OH MY GOD, WE'VE ALL BEEN WORRIED!!!! YOU'RE BACK! YOU'RE ALIVE!!! YOU ARE IN THE FLESH AND ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Nice to see you, too," I managed to choke out.
She eventually stopped trying to kill me.
"Are you okay? Do you need anything?" she asked and continued to pour even more questions.
"I'm fine. How long was I out? Is everyone one else okay?"
"You were only out for about ten hours after the accident. I'm fine and so is Eriol-kun. Syaoran-kun's okay. Your family's okay, too. Except Syaoran-kun and Touya-kun got into a fight. Syaoran-kun won."
Ha ha.
"They don't get along very well. Those two met before. It's kind of funny how Touya still remembers him. He even dubbed Syaoran as the 'Chinese brat' of the century. "
They've met? The only other time Touya disliked a 'Chinese brat' was when Xiao-Lang was around.
"Oh! I also made some phone calls and after some talking with my people, Luna and those creepy sluts will never bother you again," she declared. "They're off to military school in Timbuktu!"
I was not even going to ask how that happened. When she's a filthy rich heiress and had an armed force of bodyguards behind her, don't cross Tomoyo-chan.
"Hey Sakura-chan?"
"Yeah, Tomoyo-chan?" I replied.
"You do know about Syaoran-kun right?"
Huh?
"What about Syaoran-kun?"
Tomoyo-chan giggled at my reply for some reason.
"You really are dense."
I still stared at her while she laughed even more at me. She finally stopped though.
Tomoyo-chan sighed. "You don't know while your brother recognized him at the introduction I gave to him. I'll never forget it. One moment he was as happy as a bunny and then BAM! The instant I told him that Syaoran-kun was your boyfriend, he blew a fuse."
Touya was an over-protective brother.
"Did you even see what was in the box Syaoran-kun gave to you before you nearly drowned? Or do you not remember?"
I tried to think back.
I was beginning to feel numb. My hand stopped holding on to my boyfriend's box.
It was already opened and the lid floated away from its other half and something from inside came out.
I gasped in the water and choked.
There was something there.
Something that looked like---
Damn.
My memory went blank after that.
I shook my head.
"Oh hohohoho. Well, that'll be Syaoran-kun's problem when he gets in here. SYAORAN-KUN!!! GET IN HERE ALREADY!!"she yelled.
When Tomoyo-chan yelled, she never just yelled. She roared and screamed as if there was no tomorrow.
I covered my ears.
Syaoran-kun ran into the room.
"Yes?" he asked wearily, but immediately looked relieved when he saw that I was awake.
Tomoyo-chan rolled her eyes and pointed a finger towards me as she stood up and made her way to the door. "You tell her sometime soon. Her head is as thick as wood. No matter how many clues I'm giving her. I'm going. Good luck," she smiled at him.
Tomoyo-chan murmured quickly before she departed, "Try to not be so dense for about five minutes and you'll get it. Toodles, Sakura-chan."
And then she left while laughing 'oh hohoho' all the way.
"Um… hey Syaoran-kun," I said to him.
"Hey," he greeted as he took a seat next to my bed and hugged me. "Um… did I ever tell you that I love you?"
My heart felt like flying. "No."
Not yet.
"Okay. Well, here's a first. I love you, Sakura," he confessed.
If it was possible, my heart skipped a beat. I smiled at him. "I love you, too."
"Here," he said as he placed a box in my hand, yet still had his arms wrapped around me.
I stared at it. It was that box he gave me earlier.
Suddenly, memories came flooding back.
There was something there.
Something that looked like half a stone with green and pink swirls on it.
All those weird things in the past actually made sense now.
Why Syaoran-kun blushed when Tomoyo-chan told the story of when Xiao-Lang left.
Why Syaoran-kun's laughter sounded so familiar.
Why everything about Syaoran-kun made it seem that I've already met him.
I looked at him and smiled.
I didn't need to open that box again.
I already knew and life couldn't get any peachier.
And that wasn't a sarcastic remark.
"Syaoran-kun?"
He still looked at me with that goofy smile. "Yes? You're not going to open your present?"
He started to frown. "Do you like the box? I could exchange it back… or I could go get another one or----"
I giggled. "No. The box is perfect, but I don't need it at the moment."
Syaoran raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Why?"
I grinned. "Because, Xiao-Lang, I already know what's in it."
Syaoran's eyes widened. His smile softened as he hugged me tighter. "Finally," he whispered into my ear before giving me a kiss. "God, Kura-chan. I love you, but sometimes, you're really dense."
Sometimes, I thought.
But not necessarily always.
