Chapter 1

Visitor? But Never Before…


A young girl at the age of 3 was running around the beautiful lily meadows playing by herself, laughing and giggling to herself. The young girl, emerald eyes, short auburn hair, frilly white dress, almost perfect, looking at her would make you think she was the most perfect angel. As she ran as far as she could in the meadows occasionally she would run across a small Sakura tree and stop for a while, picking the Sakura's and pulling them together in her small, straw hat that she was holding upside-down to gather the petals. After what seemed her last stop, she ran towards the end of the meadow and into a small, empty cabin. Her tiny heart beating with every breath, she was exhausted, but happy, she loved to run like that through the meadow and collect the petals, she smiled, taking her hat, she dumped the petals on the table and carefully examined the state of them(too dry-out, perfectly moist-in). With every petal she put back in the hat, she later stuck together in a crown form. When she finished making her crown, she carefully placed it on her head and with the remaining petals she threw them outside and watched them flow away in the wind. She peacefully sat there for a while and eventually started crying, she had no friends, no family, no one at all to care for her, nor to look after her, she lived in the small cabin by herself and the meadow was her property which she ran in every single day.

A knock on the door startled the little girl, this was new, no one ever came and knocked on her door.

"S-Sakura-Sakura Kinomoto? Please come out." A voice boomed through the cabin.

"J-Just a second…" Sakura yelled. She got up fastly, ran to the door and opened it to find a small girl, she looked like she was only about 4, she had long, ebony hair, amethyst eyes and an almost gentle voice, that Sakura just found out could be loud. "And who would you be." Sakura asked.

"T-Tomoyo-Tomoyo Daidouji…"the shy little girl stuttered.

"And why are you here?" Sakura asked.

"Ano…watashi…ano…" Tomoyo tried to answer.

"Ano…?" Sakura asked.

"I have no where else to go, I had to come here, I found your name on a petal on the doorstep.." Tomoyo answered.

"Oh, so you're like me, no family anymore I'm guessing..?" Sakura asked.

"Hai…" Tomoyo answered.

The two girls talked for a while, after noticing Tomoyo's torn baby blue dress, Sakura gave her one of her spare white dresses exactly alike hers, she'd made them all by herself.

Tomoyo was pleased that such a young girl could make such beautiful dresses, even though she was only one year younger then herself. Sakura, after handing over the dress, took off with Tomoyo's old blue dress. She came back an hour later, the dress was perfectly patched and looked brand new and improved, it was beautiful, Tomoyo thanked Sakura and hugged her new friend.

After they ate, Sakura took her spare sheet she had saved for the cold winters and gave it to Tomoyo for her to sleep with, after no time, the two young girls fell asleep. In the morning Tomoyo awakened to find Sakura gone. She checked out the door and soon enough, saw a figure moving towards the cabin, it stopped at the Sakura tree closest to the cabin and came back in. Sakura was, once again, exhausted from the run, but, she loved it, when she finished the new crown, she placed it carefully on Tomoyo's head and invited her to go with her the next time to make more crowns so they didn't have to wear dried out ones all the time. Tomoyo shook her head in agreement, she too would love the run, Sakura knew it.
