Chapter 2
The New Boy.
Days went by, Tomoyo loved the runs in the beautiful lily meadow. A year later, a young boy named Syaoran came by the small cabin Sakura and Tomoyo lived in and turns out, he was also abandoned and had no friends or family. But the only thing different about Syaoran and Tomoyo was that Syaoran had elemental powers, exactly like Sakura's and Tomoyo was just a regular girl. Syaoran was 5, had chestnut brown hair, amber eyes, and was a head taller then Sakura. Sakura and Tomoyo greeted the new boy very nicely and the next morning Sakura and Tomoyo ran out in the fields while Syaoran slept and made a Sakura crown as Tomoyo did, and they both made one for Syaoran together. Sakura made supper that night and noticed, like she did Tomoyo, Syaoran had ripped jeans, and a ripped white shirt. Sakura gave him her only pair of pants and only shirt and ran off. She came back with brand new looking blue jeans and a perfect long sleeved, white shirt. Syaoran didn't like wearing the Sakura crown but since he had friends now and this is what they did he decided to fit in, but he refused to take the petal picking run in the meadow.
"Sakura…Tomoyo…how long have you two lived here alone with no one older to protect you?" Syaoran asked.
"Ano…I've lived here since I was 2, my parents dropped me off here when they were on the run, I found out a couple days later they'd died…that was only a year ago, I am…only 3 but I know my ways…" Sakura replied.
"And I just recently arrived here, my parents died and I had no where to go…" Tomoyo finished.
"So, you two are younger then me, did you have friends before?" Syaoran asked.
"Never before, I wasn't allowed to…I was only 2…" Sakura explained trying not to give away her secret.
"I never did either…my mom home schooled me and I wasn't allowed out." Tomoyo replied.
"Ano…then I guess I can safely say…I never did either." Syaoran said answering his own question.
The three kids sat peacefully eating their supper, when they finished, Sakura ran over to her pile of 2 blankets and said her and Tomoyo would have to share one, and Syaoran could have the smaller one because they had to share. Sakura would find some more materials the next morning and make another blanket for Syaoran.
Syaoran didn't sleep very well that night, he was warm, but he felt alone and he'd never felt that was before he always had his mother there for him when he was alone, she wasn't there anymore and he started to cry(he was raised by his mother so he wasn't taught not to cry, like most fathers do). Sakura awoke and saw Syaoran crying, she asked him what was wrong, he didn't answer.
"Syaoran, tell me what's wrong!" Sakura whispered wiping the crystal tears from Syao's face.
"It's nothing, I'll be fine." Syaoran answered.
"It's not nothing, tell me, I don't want to see you like this Syao…" Sakura explained.
"It's just that I've never been alone like this, I've always had my mother beside me, and now it's like I'm completely alone, like no one's even here at all." Syao answered.
"Syaoran…you don't have to feel that way, you're not alone, I'm here and so is Tomoyo…Please don't cry Syao…you're one of my only friends, please stop crying Syao…"Sakura finished.
The two went back to sleep, and Syaoran stopped crying, now he felt loved, like there was actually someone there for him. From now on, living with Sakura and Tomoyo would be alright, and fun. He decided to join them on their run the next day and they all enjoyed it, they all came back with the biggest smiles on their faces and laughing so hard because of the sweat dripping from Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo had never seen someone sweat so much.
