Disclaimer: Cardcaptor Sakura is owned by CLAMP and publisher Kodansha in Japan and not by me, since this is a fanfiction site, people should know this. However the story is mine, and any similarities to anything else, I didn't intentionally write them. Oh and were-wolves are an old old idea from who-knows-where.

Chapter One

Slash. Cut. Grind...and blood, running desperately, pumped by a dying heart. The crunch of bones underneath deadly fangs signified the end of the struggle, leaving only the sound of a rumbling growl in the park, silence echoed at the sudden cut-off of noise. The moonless night was suddenly illuminated as the heavy clouds opened to let light peek through, revealing a wolf with a blood-covered muzzle and the heavy shadow of a cooling body.

Syaoran, the wolf, dropped the limp neck of his enemy for the night. Humph...He really didn't put up much of a fight, they're weakening, sending out pups to do their work.

He mentally sighed at the bloody mess that needed to be cleaned up, preferably before morning comes and all the little children become scarred for life. After all, King Penguin Park wasn't known for its cadavers, he snorted in amusement.

"What's so funny?" came a voice out of the shadows. Syaoran heaved an even bigger sigh, this time the sound whistled through his nose, making a dog-like whine. Tell me that is not Meiling...He turned his amber eyes to the shadows and saw her, the dark being no obstacle for his wolf's eyes. She looked a little irritated hah! A little irritated, an oxymoron for Meiling and she was frowning, the lines between her brows a testament. He growled a little in annoyance.

"You know I was sent by Auntie, who was prompted by your mother, who was warned by the Elder Clow Reed-san, who was worried about your behaviour for the last few weeks." Meiling vexed in response to the unfriendly welcome.

Syaoran felt the old frustration bubbling up at remembering why Clow Reed suddenly took an interest in Syaoran's life. It has been centuries since the psychic Kaho, the avatar of Mother Nature, woke up with a new voice in her head, one spewing outrage at the parasitic humans running across the face of the Earth, destroying and taking without giving. To Kaho's horror, She possessed her body and used it as a vessel to curse the drudges of humanity by binding them with wolves, giving them the strength and hunting skills of the animal and the brutality and cunning of the humans. These mad beasts rampaged across the lands, killing humans in their way with no conscience by suppressing it with the wolf side, and creating chaos with the human side. The Li Clan, who first broke through the blood-lust, convinced Mother Nature through the possessed Kaho that humans were their children too and how innocents were suffering. The grief and regret caused Her to lose control over Her creations, and they became creatures of cruelty, with the human suppressing the animal and using their abilities for greed.

And so, that leads me to be stuck here some time in the early hours, when I could be in bed, my warm...soft...clean and cotton bed without an annoying cousin fire-breathing down my neck. Syaoran gave Meiling a wolfy glare, flattened his ears too, for good measure and padded into the trees. Meiling scowled at his retreating furry back and threw, one-armed, the bundle of clothing she had brought with her, smacking Syaoran on the head. He ignored her, even though his head throbbed, took the bundle and went to change behind a tree. He had just shook off the wolf when there came a rustling noise through the small forest surrounding the park, he froze and listened intently.

"Hoooooeeeeeeeeeeee!! KERO-CHAN!!!"

Hooee? What the heck is a Hooee? And Kero? A frog? Syaoran tilted his head in puzzlement. More rustling and then an amber patch of hair and pink, lots of pink Syaoran mused, tumbled out of the bushes, tripped over nothing that he could see, and sprawled out in the grass. "Sheesh Kero-chan, some guide you are, 'don't worry Sakura-chan, trust me' after all what could happen to a girl at night, wondering through the forest looking for a were-wolf, a blood thirsty were-wolf." The amber-haired and pink girl grumbled out. Emerald eyes connected with his amused amber eyes and Syaoran suddenly realized three things. Her eyes were like sunlight through green leaves in the Spring, also the girl had just mentioned were-wolves, which was supposed to be a secret to humans after all the damage control by Clow Reed, and he was still naked.

End of Chapter One.

Author: Sorry for leaving you naked there Syaoran...xD it wasn't intentional, I swear...

Author: Also, haven't been on in years, wonder what's changed...

A few things I should mention:

--thoughts or emphasis-- in italics

--"speech"-- in quotes

*Capitalized 'She' or 'Her' means it's Mother Nature possessed in Kaho-san.

**It's been a while since I've encountered Japanese san's, chan's and kun's, I don't quite remember how the suffixes work so if anyone has any suggestions or advice, please comment. Oh and with names when not mentioned out-loud, like in thoughts, they have no suffixes.

***Hooee is that cute sound Sakura makes, if you don't know about it, you're missing out... =) and this work is mostly characters from the anime.

Oh that note, thanks for reading and leave a comment if you want and constructive criticism, please don't just tell me 'it sucks' tell me why it 'sucks'. And be nice to me, this is a first, just like a doodle in words, please.
