Friends into Lover

Author: Miharu Tsubaki

Disclaimer: I don't own any character, except this story and my own characters.

Another new story! I was just reading my old stories and I feel like… okay, this story is worth to be written in English (since it was in Indonesian before).

Well, it's not a fantasy story but I hope this story will be more than 5 chapters.

Summary: Sakura meet Syaoran when they're kids and since then, they became best friends. As time goes by, will their friendship keep go on? Or will it turn into a love?

Notes: I hope I can write better here and be patient (as I love to fast forward some stories). Rated T for safety!

Chapter 1, Hello! My Name is…

"No! I want my Mommy!" a short haired girl cried.

"Sakura, Mom is out of Japan. It's impossible for use to meet our Mom right now," replied a boy that was older than the girl.

"Sakura miss Mommy! I don't care, I want Mommy right now!" that girl named Sakura ran from her brother that chased her.

-Penguin Park-

"Sakura, come out from there! Looks like it's going to rain, we have to go home or Dad will get worried," Sakura's brother tried to persuade her as he drew his arm into a small hole at the bottom of the penguin statue.

"No! Sakura will come out if Mommy is here!" Sakura yelled.

"Huh! Fine! Do what you want, but if Dad's angry with you, I don't care! I want to go home and call Dad now!" replied her brother with a mad tone as he walked home.

Sakura was still sobbing inside the hole and called, "Mommy… Sakura miss Mommy so much…"

The rain poured down. It was raining cats and dogs, followed by a strong wind and thunders. Sakura, who was afraid with thunders, cried even harder because she was frightened.

"Mommy… Daddy… Onii-chan… Sakura's afraid…"

"Hey, you there!"

Sakura turned her head and saw a boy who seemed at her age calling her, "M-Me?"

"Yea, you! What are you doing inside there?" asked the boy as he went into the hole.

That boy was wet because of the rain, but seeing Sakura who was freezing, he gave his jacket to her, "Wear this, to keep you warm."

"Thank you…"

"What are you doing here? Come on, I'll get you home."

Sakura sobbed again and said, "Mommy… Sakura miss Mommy…"

"Haa? Mommy? Where is she?"

"My Mommy…"

Before Sakura could answer, suddenly it was a very big and loud thunder. Sakura, who was afraid of it, screamed and unconsciously hugged the boy beside her.

"H-Hey!" that boy couldn't move because Sakura hugged him in so sudden.

Trying to calm himself down, that boy hugged Sakura and stroked her hair, "Come on, it was only a thunder. Let me take you home."

"But… Mommy…"

"No more but! You have to go home now. Your parents might be worried," the boy cut her words as he pulled Sakura out from the hole.

In the middle of the rain, Sakura covered her head with the boy's jacket and she walked home, accompanied by the boy.

When they arrived at Sakura's front door, her father hugged her, "Sakura! I'm so worried, dear! I was about to look for you, but… Thank goodness you're alright…"

Sakura melted in her father's embrace and cried on his chest, "I'm sorry, Daddy… Sakura promise… I won't run away… again…"

Her father brought her up and she smiled, still crying, "Daddy… someone walked Sakura home. He…"

Sakura turned her head and saw the boy nowhere. But Sakura was sure that she had asked him to wait first, or maybe she forgot to.

Sakura looked around, making her father confused, "Where's he? Daddy! Daddy saw a boy that accompanied Sakura home, right? Right?"

"I'm sorry, darling, but Daddy didn't see anyone. Come one, you can meet him tomorrow, for sure," Sakura's father tried to calm her down as he brought her inside.

-The next day-

"Onii! Onii-chan, hurry up!" Sakura ran far away in front of her brother happily.

"Sakura! Can't you just slow down a bit?" Touya protested as he chased his little sister.

"Stop protesting! Onii-chan has to accompany Sakura! Hurry up, nii-chan!" Sakura ignored her brother's protest and instead, she ran even faster to the penguin park.

At the penguin park, Sakura looked around. She looked at the hole in the bottom of the penguin park, behind the bushes, everywhere.

"Where's he…" Sakura asked, frowning.

"Who?" Touya asked confusedly.

"The boy that walked Sakura home! Sakura want to say thank you…" Sakura explained sadly.

Touya tapped Sakura's shoulder and said, "Come on, we can meet him later."

Sakura smiled and said, "Sakura know! Sakura will wait for him here!"

Touya's eyes went wide, "Eh? What if that boy doesn't come? Do you want to wait for him until tomorrow?"

Sakura tried hardly to sit on the bench because its height was far more higher than Sakura's, "Sakura will wait for him! Sakura haven't known his name yet!"

Touya tried to persuade Sakura, "H-Hey! You're joking, Sakura! You-"

"Ah! There he is!" Sakura cut her brother's words with sparkling eyes.

She directly ran towards the boy that she met the previous day, "Umm… Do you remember me?"

That boy stared at Sakura's face and then said, "You're the girl that cried yesterday, right?"

Sakura nodded shyly and give her hand, "Yep… Umm… Thank you for taking me home yesterday. My name is Sakura! What's yours?"

Syaoran smiled and shook his hand with Sakura's, "I'm Syaoran."

"Eh? S-Sya… syo… umm… can you repeat it?" Sakura asked because she couldn't pronounce Syaoran's name correctly.

Syaoran chuckled and said, "My name is hard to be pronounced, huh? My name is Syaoran. Syao-ran."

Sakura tried her best to say it out, "Syaoo-ran… right?"

Syaoran smiled and nodded, "You're smart, Sakura-chan!"

Sakura blushed and giggled, "Thank you… umm… Syaoran-kun, do you want to play with me?"

"Play? Sure! Let's go!" Syaoran and Sakura walked and played together in the penguin park.

Well, it's done!

I still don't have any idea what's I'm gonna write for the next chapter, but well… I'll try!
