Chapter 3: You Need Help
As Sakura and the mysterious boy trudged down the empty dark streets, Sakura couldn't help but wonder.
Why on earth was he helping her get back home?
"So what's your name?" the boy asked sharply, breaking Sakura away from her thoughts.
"Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura answered monotonously. After a few moments where Sakura did not ask for his name, the boy finally spoke.
"Well anyways my name's Syaoran Li. You might have heard of me." Syaoran said with a superior tone. Sakura stared at him with a strange, bewildered expression.
"No… I've never heard of you. Am I, supposed to know you?" Sakura asked slowly.
"Oh wait a second," Sakura's eyes widened suspiciously. "If you're so well known, what are you doing out on the streets at night?" Sakura instinctively edged away from Syaoran looking suddenly alert. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
"Don't ask such rude questions. I'm not going to tell you things that you don't need to know. You should be glad I saved you from that dude earlier." Syaoran said in his superior tone.
"I think I can take care of myself from here." Sakura said coldly before walking away from the arrogant boy.
The Next Morning
"STUPID GIRL! Coming home empty handed! Why on earth did you even bother coming home?" Sakura's mother yelled at the top of her lungs, her pale cheeks flushed as she glared murderously at Sakura the following morning. Sakura and her mother were both in the kitchen, Sakura's mother positioned at the kitchen table, and Sakura sitting in the far corner whimpering and crying. Sakura's mother had slapped Sakura brutally, so that now Sakura's face was covered in ugly, purple bruises.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH! This is ridiculous! You never do ANYTHING RIGHT! That's it! Out! OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I don't want to see your face ever again! GOODBYE!" Sakura's mother had one hand on her hip, while the other was pointing towards the door. Sakura sat motionless, staring at her mother through teary eyes.
"Get your stuff, and get out." Sakura's mother said in a deadly silence. Obeying her orders, Sakura stood up and slowly walked to her room. All her tattered clothes, books and papers fit neatly in a backpack. Looking back at the now empty room, she sighed and headed out the front door.
The chilly morning air hit Sakura like a gust of wind. With her eyes still glazed with tears, Sakura began walking into no particular direction. After a few minutes, Sakura found herself at the edge of a beach, staring out at the sea. Spotting a little cave, Sakura headed towards it. Once inside, Sakura curled into a little ball and hugged her backpack, not looking up. Sakura sat there for hours, not once looking up. Miserable thoughts swirled in her head as she sat there quietly, unmoving.
Suddenly laughter was heard from outside the cave. Someone talking, and another, there was more than one person. The group of laughing and talking people were getting louder and louder as they approached Sakura's cave. Sakura tried her best to blend in with the surrounding shadows, but it was no use.
"Hey I think I saw something in there!" one of the strangers called, pointing at the cave. Sakura buried her head in her arms once again, attempting to look invisible.
"Look! It's a girl!" another one of the strangers said. The group of people was now at the entrance of the cave, peering through and staring at Sakura. Sakura heard footsteps, as one of them was walking towards her. As Sakura slowly looked up, she stared at a boy, who looked around her age. Realization hitting her, she stood up with her hands on her hips and stared at him coldly, with all her anger in her eyes. Her teeth clenched, and her fists curled, Sakura cursed herself mentally for having such bad luck.
"I knew it was you when I first saw you. I mean, just look at you! Seriously, you need help." Syaoran said looking down at Sakura in disdain.
