Chapter 1: Lost in your Eyes
Syaoran's POV
I was walking past the Penguin park when something caught my attention..
"Run!" one of the little boys shouted when an auburn-haired girl went to them, probably to stop them from hitting the tree with their slingshot. They were scared with the young lady, about my age (17 y/o) wearing an elegant long sleeves pink dress and a hat pairing it. It was the first time I saw her around the town in my 3 years of living here. I observed her from where I'm standing holding a can of drink in my hand. That lady caught my interest.. She removed her hat and sighed. Then, I saw her move towards the tree the kids a while ago was targeting at. She looked around, checking if there are people around..What surprised me is that she climbed up the tree without any difficulty, not mentioning that she is wearing a dress. Whoa..what could she be doing there?
I tossed the can in a garbage can and walked to her. I walked as quietly as I could so she won't see me. It seems like she didn't notice me and I peeked from below the tree.
My chuckling was heard by this lady and I saw her blush. She instantly climbed down but lost her balance a little making her fell on her back. Good thing it was grassy and her fall wasn't much a big impact. She sat massaging her back while I turn into little fits of laughter at the sight of her. She glared at me and pouted. I apologized and offered my hand which she gladly took. I noticed her gentle and soft hands as it contacted mine and her beautiful emerald orbs which caught me off guard. She looks rather pretty seeing her closer.
She's like a fallen angel from the sky..
I came back to reality when I felt my hand shaking.. I didn't notice that I'm still holding her hand tight and she is trying to remove her hands on mine. I instantly let go of her, feeling a bit of disappointment. I said sorry and she only smiled. I saw her get her cellphone and typed something.
Thank you.
I read. "You're welcome." Why did she have to type it if she can say it?
"Uhh. Sorry for asking but.. Are you…mute?" I bit my tongue.
She only shook her head once again but this time she is frowning and didn't look me in the eye. She typed on her phone. It's none of your business..
"ohh..ok."
It got my curiosity making me want to know her more.. I was going to ask her her name, maybe we can be friends..when suddenly her phone rang. Someone had texted her, maybe he family is getting worried. After reading the message, she looked at me, bowed and instantly run.
"Wait! I forgot to ask your name!"
She seemed not to hear it and I sighed. I hope I'll meet her again..
I put my hands on my pockets and kicked a stone when something shining on the ground caught my attention. I squatted and saw a locket. I opened it and saw a picture. A woman with long beautiful hair holding a smiling baby with green eyes like hers. Beside her is a man with glasses looking at the baby girl and a little boy with dark hair beside the man.
The baby girl must be her..This must be her family..
I should return it to her and my hopes of seeing her again lifted up.

Normal POV
His cellphone rang.. "Hello Eriol?"
"Hey, are you free this afternoon?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Wanna go with me to the arcade? I'm bored."
"Where's Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked wondering why he didnt asked to be with his girlfriend.
"Is she the only person I can invite? And besides, she is busy today. Her cousin is coming in their house and she's busy and all. She told us about it right?" He could sense that Eriol has just rolled his eyes.
He remembered. Tomoyo mentioned about her cousin who'll be living with her because her cousin lost her parents in an accident about a year ago..oh well, he isn't listening so much and he can't remember the whole story.
"Ok then. Where will we meet?" Syaoran asked.
"Mall entrance 5pm. Bye."
"Bye."

Sakura's POV
"Sakura!"
Tomoyo called me as she saw me turn the corner towards their house.. The house she will be living from now on..
I stopped in front of her, panting from the run I did. I know I made Tomoyo worried as I was out for long.
"Where have you been? I was worried about you, you know?" Tomoyo frowned at me. She really is worried. I got my phone and typed.
"Sorry. I went to the park and I saw some cute birds in the tree..then-"
I wasn't able to finish my sentence when she suddenly hugged me.
She then whispered to me, "Next time text me okay?"
I smiled to her and nodded.
Tomoyo Daidouji is my second cousin and also my best friend. Even though I transferred in Tokyo with my family when I was in first year junior high school (due to my dad's work), we never lose contact with each other and we often visit each other when we have time. Sometimes she visits their school to see their other friends.
"Let's go inside! Oh and you'll love the new outfits I made just for you!" she held my hand and together we run inside the house.
Tomoyo has long raven hair, just like my mom's. Her amethyst eyes are very kind and warm which shows her personality. She cares for me so much and treats me like a sister. If it's not because of her, I will never be able to smile again like now.. After what happened to my parents..

Normal POV
After dinner, Tomoyo hurriedly brought Sakura to her room and got the outfits she made for her to try. Sakura, who can't seem to reject Tomoyo's continuous requests to wear this and that, just enjoyed and followed what Tomoyo says. She didn't mind becoming Tomoyo's doll sometimes.
"Sakura! Since I'm creating outfits, why don't you try cosplaying? Hmm.. Try cosplaying Madoka! Oh, I'll love to make you that costume!" Tomoyo squealed, her eyes glinting.
Sakura blushed and shook her head.
She got her phone as usual..
No! I don't want! Many people will see me.
"Oh, but they won't probably know you. Since you're wearing a costume and wig. Next month there will be a cosplay event in school. Maybe you could win if you join..please?" Tomoyo pleaded.
Hmm.. I'll think about it.
"Yaiii! You're the best Sakura!" Tomoyo hugged her bestfriend taking her answer already as a yes.
"I'll start making your costumes now. And tomorrow we should go to the mall and buy materials.."
Sakura couldn't help but smile watching her bestfriend get excited about it. She's already happy just to see Tomoyo happy..
Sakura suddenly hugged Tomoyo making her surprised..
"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked confused.
Thank you for everything Tomoyo. I love you..
"Aw..I know that already. I love you too! Just remember that I'm always here for you." Tomoyo hugged her and tried to stop herself from crying.
She loves Sakura so much and she wants to bring back the old Sakura…
She knows very well that Sakura tries her best to smile and be happy for her, Touya and the others. She still thinks of them and she doesn't want them to worry about her. Even though deep inside, she still feels hurt with the lost of her parents.. Why did it have to happen, especially on that day? Why her? Ever since that day, Sakura lost two precious people in her life, her parents along with her voice. Tomoyo misses her sweet voice so much.
Tomoyo hopes that something or someone would be able to return the genuine smile of Sakura...

Before going to bed, Sakura brushed her hair in front of the mirror. She looked at herself and tried to smile..which turned into a frown.. She still wasn't able to move on with the past.. She is still traumatized with the event..
She can't do anything now. She can't revive her parents from the dead. All she can do now is live and enjoy her life. Though it's tough for her she'll do her best. She doesn't want to make Tomoyo, Touya and her friends to be sad because of her. Still she misses them so much..
She reached for her locket but found it nowhere. She looked all around her room when realization caught her.
The locket fell on the grass and she forgot to get it. She was holding it while she was on the tree looking at it with the birds. She hopes that tomorrow it will still be there or maybe that guy got it and will return it to her. The locket is owned by her mom and she treasures it so much.
She decided to look for it tomorrow in the park and if not, she will have to find that guy.
She thought of that guy back there.. When did he start watching her? She just noticed him when she heard him chuckle below the tree. He looks weird for Sakura because he laughs just seeing her. What is with her that is so funny? But then, he looks a like a kind-hearted man since he helped her up and his amber eyes tell it too. Though she could see some yearning from it. But he is still weird from the fact that he stared at her (not pervertly) as if studying her for so long and he didn't let go of her hands so easily that she had to shake it off.
She decided to sleep and stop thinking about it and rest. Tomorrow she hopes to meet him again and find her locket.
She hugged her favorite teddy bear which was a gift from her brother Touya.
