A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed! I forgot to mention many things: 1) I'm sure that all of you know that this is an AU. 2) For all you reviewers asking me how come Syaoran doesn't recognize Sakura as the younger girl, KEEP this in mind, Sakura MIGHT not be the younger girl. 3) Uh...I don't be updating a lot throughout the months of June and July, because in June I have P.A.T (Provincial Achievement Tests) coming up and I need to study for those! In July, I'm stuck in summer school. .

The next day, Mei Lin continued what she have done the day before, which was asking and telling Sakura things. Getting tired, Mei Lin decided to call her friend, Tomoyo, to come over to help her out. Mei Lin didn't bother asking Syaoran if it was alright for Tomoyo to come over, because he didn't care much.
While Mei Lin was waiting for Tomoyo to come over, Syaoran walked into the room.
"Gee, haven't you heard of knocking?" Mei Lin asked, seeing that Sakura was frightened by Syaoran's presence once more.
"As if anything is going here, all you're doing is conversing," Syaoran replied without apologizing.
"Whatever."
"Sophia is coming up soon with some soup for the girl," Syaoran informed Mei Lin.
"Alright." Mei Lin nodded her head as she looked out the window to see if Tomoyo had come over yet.
"Who did you invite?" Syaoran demanded.
"Tomoyo, she's bringing Eriol," Mei Lin replied, as her face lit up when she saw Tomoyo and Eriol driving up to the driveway.
Syaoran walked out to the room, leaving Mei Lin and Sakura. Mei Lin tried to refrain herself from starring at Sakura, since Sakura felt timid ever since Syaoran showed up.
"Uh...I have a friend who's here. Don't worry, she's very kind and nice," Mei Lin informed Sakura.
Mei Lin realized that Sakura would be frighten by Tomoyo, but wasn't sure how it would turn out to be. At first, when Mei Lin heard of Sakura, she thought that it would a piece of cake, but boy, was she ever wrong.
As Mei Lin thought about some thoughts, she heard some talking and footsteps. Mei Lin gave Sakura a reassuring smile, hoping that Sakura would be less frighten. Mei Lin watched Sakura's facial expression as Eriol, Syaoran, and Tomoyo walk into the room. As the three walked into the room, a servant came in with some soup for Sakura.
"Thank you, Sophia," Mei Lin took the soup from Sophia and carefully gave it to Sakura.
Mei Lin pulled everyone out of the room, so Sakura could eat without much pressure on her. When everyone was out of the room, Mei Lin gave out a warning, tell them that Sakura get frighten quite easily. Syaoran shrugged and walked away to his room.
"So, Sakura is her name?" Tomoyo asked.
Mei Ling nodded her head.
"So, let me get this straight. Syaoran was driving on the highway when she stepped out of no where and collapsed, he then took her in. When she woke up, you found out that she's an orphan and has amnesia?" Eriol asked Mei Lin.
"Correct. She also quite naive. It seems that she's not educated either." Mei Lin said sadly.
"Alright then. What does she know?" Tomoyo asked, pitying Sakura.
"Her name and where she have been since she could remember, which was the streets,"
"Ouch!"
"She also has many questions to ask. Try to encourage her to ask them,"
"I think she's done eating, since I don't hear anything but our conversation."
"Alright."
Eriol, Mei Lin, and Tomoyo slowly walked back into the room. They saw that Sakura haven't touched the bowl of soup. Mei Lin sighed and went over to Sakura's side and told her that it was alright for her to eat the soup. Sakura just look down at the soup. Mei Lin took a look at the soup and saw that it wasn't the same one as yesterday. Mei Lin then explained to Sakura that it was the same soup, but there's more type of meat and vegetables in it. Mei Lin took the spoon from the bowl and scooped some soup and faked that she was eating it. Sakura starred at Mei Lin to see if anything happened, but nothing, so she slowly took the spoon into her shaking hands and scooped some soup to eat.
Mei Lin turned to face Eriol and Tomoyo. She pointed to the window, indicating that they should leave Sakura alone for a while to finish her soup. The three of them spoke in a low voice, so Sakura wouldn't have to hear what they were saying. A few times, Tomoyo let out a squeal of excitement, which made Sakura turn her head to look at them. Tomoyo then would smile and point to the bowl of soup.
While the three were talking, Sakura felt something that she didn't know. Sakura doesn't know what this feeling was, but all she knew was that it was something that she doesn't want to feel once more. Trying to ignore the feeling, Sakura finished the bowl of soup. When she was finished, Sakura didn't know if she should tell Mei Lin and her friends that she was finished, so she just stayed quiet.
After a length of time, Mei Lin figured that Sakura have finished the bowl of soup. Walking back to Sakura, Mei Lin took the bowl of soup from her and placed it on the nearby night table.
"Sakura, this is Tomoyo and Eriol," Mei Lin introduced.
Sakura nodded her head, not sure what she should do.
"Eriol and Tomoyo are my friends and they want to be your friends too," Mei Lin explained, hoping that Sakura would open up a bit more.
"Okay," Sakura replied slowly.
"Sakura, do you remember what a friend is?" Mei Lin wanted to make sure that Sakura at least remember what a friend was.
"Someone that is nice to you?" Sakura replied unsurely of herself.
Mei Lin nodded her head and smiled. Mei Lin then went on talking what Eriol and Tomoyo does for a living. Sakura didn't understand much of what they were saying, so she just nodded her head. Tomoyo noticed that Sakura was confused, so when Mei Lin finished talking about them, Tomoyo rephrased Mei Lin's words into simpler words. When Tomoyo rephrased Mei Lin's words, Sakura began to understand some of it.
The three of them then went on explaining many things for Sakura to know.

Syaoran was in his room, cursing that he had to see if the police had any records of a missing girl. So far, he came across a family that was close to describing Sakura, but wasn't. Syaoran decided to take a break from the work. He flopped on his bed and his eyes went towards a picture that was taken years ago. In the picture, was a younger version of him, smiling. Next to him was a young girl, smiling also. Smiling wasn't something that he has been doing since he and the girl in the photograph moved. Syaoran remembered that the girl was the first friend that he had ever made.
Syaoran remembered that the girl was from Japan. The first day that the two met was in the playground when both of their parents took them there. When both of them were at the playground, their parents recognized each other's parent and went over to greet them. Syaoran remembered that he didn't like the fact that his parents was making him play with a girl that he didn't know. He would rather have his sisters bugging him.
Days went by and soon Syaoran and Churippu, the young girl, started a friendship and the friendship grew until they were best friends. After a few months, the two didn't know it, but their parents did. Syaoran and Churippu soon fell in love with one another at a young age, but they never realized it.
Before Churippu left, Churippu gave Syaoran a friendship bracelet. She also indicated that she also has the same one, so when they meet up again, they'll know that it's them.
A squeal shattered Syaoran's thoughts. Deciding that he would get the work done, so he would have more time to think about Churippu, before Syaoran got up, his eyes went towards the picture and the bracelet that was in front of photograph.
~*~
When Syaoran was done with the police records, he went down to his mother and told her the news.
"So, there isn't any missing child that is Sakura?" Yelen asked.
Syaoran nodded his head.
"Is there any one was close?" Yelen asked.
"There was one, but the description said she had red eyes, not green." Syaoran replied.
"Well, I suppose that we'll have to let the police take her fingerprints and all to see if they have a match that way." Yelen sighed.
~*~
Syaoran walked to the room that Sakura was in. Yelen had thought that it would be best that they took Sakura down to the police station now. When Syaoran had told them to go, Mei Lin protested that Sakura only had on pajamas, which was too big for her. Tomoyo let out another squeal, going out to her vehicle; she fetched some clothing and some sewing equipment that she could use to fit the clothing for Sakura.
When Tomoyo had some clothes that fit Sakura, Sakura was off to the police station. Sakura went to the police station along with Mei Lin, Syaoran, and Yelen. During the ride, Sakura couldn't stop looking out the window. She couldn't help but wonder how the scenes outside could move so fast. Mei Lin tried to explain that the car was moving, not the streets.
When the four got to the police station, Sakura nervously walk along with Mei Lin. Once inside the police station, an officer took Sakura into a lab. Inside the lab, the officer took out some equipment that he'll need. Before taking out the equipment, the officer pointed to some chairs that they could sit in. When Sakura sat down, she looked around the room, amazed by the height. Sakura also noticed that the police gave her a cold feeling and the house that Syaoran had brought her in was warm and cozy.
When the officer finished taking Sakura's finger prints, hair sample, blood sample, etc.; a police dog came by, frightening Sakura. Sakura screamed in surprise and move back slowly, when the dog came up to her. The officer, that was in charge of taking care of the K9, came up to Sakura and apologized, saying that the dog was searching for a missing person and must have mistaken the scent of the victim for her. Sakura just nodded her head slowly.
When the four gotten back to the Li home, Mei Lin decided to take Sakura on a tour of the house tomorrow, because after what Mei Lin saw of Sakura's bit of interest, she thought that Sakura would like a tour of the house.
