It's Never Too Late

"Tag you're it!" screamed a hyper 7 year old Sakura Kinomoto as she reached out and tapped the shoulder of the boy in front of her.

The boy smiled and Sakura giggled.

"You are not gonna catch me, Syaoran" added little Sakura in a sing-song tone while she ran as far away from the boy.

"Ha! That's what you think!" Syaoran smirked as he chased Sakura around the Kinomoto's backyard.

Sakura laughed out loud and soon got tired of running and was soon tagged by Syaoran.

"See? I told you I can catch you" said the 8 year old Syaoran as he laid on the green grass, gasping fro breath.

Sakura just stick her little tongue and Syaoran pounced on her and tickled her mercilessly.

They cracked up and played on the grass for endless hours. Not even caring on who can hear them or who are annoyed by their childish laughers.

For them, they will play like there is no tomorrow and they will play together, never leaving each other's side. They will always be the two inseparable playmates who always pray that they will just chase each other around and be careless for the rest of their lives

Who would think that these two problem-free kids will encounter too much problems as they continue to grow up...

Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li were bestfriends for as long as they can remember.

They have lived on the same town; same block and they have been going to the same school since kindergarten.

People can testify as witnesses that these two will be a very good definition for the word 'friends'.

They lived 4 houses away from each other and everybody at school and neighborhood knows that the 'Li and Kinomoto' pair is always, always inseparable.

You can hardly see them separated with each other.

It's obvious that these won't trade each other for the world.

Their history started long ago with their moms. Nadeshiko, Sakura's mom and Yelan, Syaoran's mother were bestfriends too, since Junior High.

From then on, they didn't wanna separate that they got to the point of even living at the same block!

Sakura and Syaoran wished and planned of doing the same thing. They want their friendship to last forever.

Without the knowledge of the children, both mothers had an unspoken desire of the two, ending up together.

But that's a long way to go for the children doesn't even know what the word 'love' exactly mean and how painful it can be.

Syaoran is a year older than Sakura and he's like the brother that she never had. He's always there for her and Sakura is the same for him.

When she was only three, Nadeshiko died. Sakura cried her eyes out although she has little understanding of what happened.

She felt so weak and vulnerable. Syaoran saw this and he vowed that he'll always be there to never let any more painful situations happen to her cherry blossom bestfriend.

flashback

"Sakura? Sakura?" Syaoran called put her name.

He entered a dark room and called her name once more.

"Sakura?...Where are you? Sakura?"

Then he heard a little sob.

His eyes adjusted with the darkness and saw a little kid curled up on the corner of the room, leaning on the wall.

He silently approached her.

"Sakura? Are you ok?"

He saw her little head moved left and right and her shoulders were shaking

He sat next to her and put his arms around her.

"I know it hurts. I really do. I don't know how I know but somehow, I can feel pain too. But Sakura...your mother wouldn't want to see you sad right? So stop your crying and smile"

Syaoran tried to calm her down.

Sakura shifted position and hugged Syaoran and continued sobbing

"Daddy said she'll never wake up again. He said that no more bedtime stories at night and no more singing from mom before I go to sleep. I won't play with her anymore..." Sakura blurted out. Anger is obvious with her voice. But at the same time, it has sadness on it that made Syaoran feel miserable.

"Syaoran, I'm so sad and I can't stop crying. I'll miss mommy all the time. Who will help me with homework at school? Who will sing to me? Read to me 'humpy dumpy'?..."

Syaoran just sighed. "That's why I'm here Sakura. I'll be here for you" (A/n: geez..pretty matured for a four year old ne?)

For the first time, Sakura looked up. Tears are falling freely from her emerald eyes and stared at Syaoran's amber pools with a very watery smile.

"Really?" Sakura asked with so much hope.

Syaoran smiled and nodded. "Of course" Sakura hugged him tighter. Syaoran just hugged her back.

"You'll never leave me?" She asked slowly

"I would never. Remember that I'm always here beside you ok? I'll always play with you to make you feel happy and I will not let you cry" he replied gently.

Sakura slowly stopped crying then smiled at Syaoran. She hugged him again Syaoran responded to it.

"You are the bestest friend ever" Sakura whispered.

"I know..." he chuckled.

"I just hope that I'll have no more problems like this and that we will never grow up" she said quiet tiredly.

"I'm hoping for that too" was Syoaran's reply.

And before he knew it, Sakura fell asleep in his arms with steady, light breathing that suggested that Sakura's in a peaceful slumber.
