Chapter 3

The Kidnapper, or Maybe Not, Father?

The 3 new friends cared about each other for many years, until 4 years later, Syaoran's father finally came by and picked him up, forcing him to go with him even though he didn't want to. Sakura and Tomoyo were very sad, one of the three friends was now gone, they were very upset. Syaoran was even more upset, his father hadn't wanted to see him for years and wanted nothing to do with him and all of a sudden he comes out of no where and grabs him and tells him he's going home where he belongs, belongs(BULLSHIT), doesn't belong(CORRECT). Syaoran refused to go a couple times but eventually he just took him by the arm and dragged him to the car, Syaoran would never see Sakura or Tomoyo ever again, he knew that. He wouldn't have any friends ever again.

"SYAO! NOO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! PLEASE, LET HIM GO!" Sakura yelled.

"Don't forget us!" Tomoyo called.

"I WONT!" Syaoran answered as his father drove away with him in the car.

Syaoran was 9 now, Tomoyo was 8 and Sakura was 7, they were the best of friends, and they didn't have any other friends. They would never forget each other. Sakura would especially not forget, she had grown feelings farther then best friends with Syaoran, she had a crush on him. Syaoran had the same feeling towards Sakura, they both liked each other.

The runs in the lily meadow was never the same without Syaoran. It just wasn't as cheerful as it had been 4 years ago. Without Syaoran nothing was the same, they never saw the smiles Syao had put on his face after the run, never the laughter or the tears he had cried almost every night until 2 years before this happened. Nothing was the same anymore, Syaoran wasn't there for very long, but he had a big impact on the way Sakura and Tomoyo did things, things were a lot different with him around, and now he wasn't there anymore. Sakura just stopped liking the runs that she'd loved even before Syaoran got there, she always used the blanket Syaoran had used, and she didn't enjoy making her Sakura crowns anymore.

"Sakura is something wrong, I know it's different without Syao here but you just look so upset, you look like you could burst into tears any minute now." Tomoyo asked. Sakura could burst into tears, she didn't want to look like a fool infront of Tomoyo.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine." Sakura replied…It's nothing, I'll be fine…That's exactly what Syaoran had said the first night she saw her tears.

"Ano…I don't think so missy, you tell me what's wrong!" Tomoyo demanded.

"Ano…watashi…ano…" Sakura mumbled.

"Ano…is that all you can come up with…Ano…watashi…ano…?"

"I was…in love with Syaoran…"

Tomoyo's face widened, she'd never thought of anything that way before, she always thought they would just be best friends forever, but now, Sakura and Syaoran…this was…wow! Sakura suddenly started crying, many crystal tears ran down her cheeks, she got up and ran out into the meadow to her favourite Sakura tree, sat up in it and cried by her lonesome self. Anyone who managed to see her looked at her like they felt sorry for her, she was only 8, but she looked as if she were only 6, short, childish. That's all that was needed to think of it that way. Tomoyo ran into the field after her, out of breath she climbed up in the tree and kept Sakura company, she felt sorry for her, one of her only friends left and it turns out he was more then a friend in her eyes. This was serious, somehow she had to get her to forget about Syaoran, because she would never be able to see him again, they all knew that.
