Cherish Thy Wolf

Disclaimers: If I had a nickel every time I put on disclaimers on everything, I'd be a millionaire!!  But I'm not.  L  But I own this fic so you can kiss my ass!

Author's Note: Hey, it's me again!!  This is another of my CCS fanfic.  I should be finishing my other fanfics, but I'm lazy and want to start this before anyone steals my idea.  Okay, in the story, Syaoran never met Sakura before and he has to go to Japan to get the Clow Cards from the Card Mistress [Sakura] for his clan for a special reason that I'm not telling you, because I want you to read my fic to find out.  It starts out boring then gets interesting.  Give me the reviews!

Cherish thy Wolf

My stuff was packed and I was ready to leave Hong Kong in a few minutes.  The plane for Japan arrived on time and I bid my family and clan good-bye.  Then my mother came up to me.

"Aren't you going to say bye to Meilin?" she asked.  "She is your fiancé."  I sigh.  My mother will not allow herself to believe that I don't love Meilin.  I only love her as a cousin.  I turn to Meilin and she waves like an idiot to me with tears in her eyes.  I wave back and she goes ballistic and starts sobbing.  Pedestrians looked at her weirdly. 

"Bye Mom.  I'll bring back the cards.  Our clan will not suffer the curse," I said assuring to her.  She wiped a tear away.  "Syaoran.  You are the future leader of this clan, do not let us down.  We cannot suffer this curse anymore.  Now go and fulfill your task."

"Yes Mother."  I stepped onto the plane and looked out the window.  Everybody was still there waving good-byes.  I looked away from them and the plane takes off to Japan. 

The plane ride went smooth and I collected my luggage.  It was night already and there was a crescent moon outside.  I flagged down a taxi and told the driver to go to Tomoeda [a/n: is that how you spell it?]  It was a long drive and I felt the moonlight beams shivering down my spine with a delicious pain.  I was also hungry.  I looked at the driver.  He was fat, had an oily forehead, and all I could say was fat pig.  Pig taste good, but not right now.  He didn't look that appetizing either. 

I tipped him as I stood in front of the hotel of Tomoeda.  A tired busboy came out and offered to carry my luggage for me. I let him and carried my personal bag, following him.  I signed in and went to my room.  After a quick shower, I curled up in my bed and fell asleep.  Tomorrow, I will start my quest for the cards.

I stretched luxuriously and got out of bed early.  It was four in the morning.  I looked around and commanded my eyes to open wide since they were still tired.  I got out of bed and went to the bathroom.  After all those good stuff like showers and brushing your teeth, I packed and took the elevator down.  The first thing I need to do is find an apartment at least.  So I wouldn't have to suffer bad hotel food and such.  The lady clerked winked at me and blushed; I ignored her.  She was fair, but not my type, literally.  Besides, I'm engaged. 

I set out for an apartment before school starts, since its Wednesday.  I found one and got it.  I decided to get ready for school, but my stomach flared with hunger.  Food was now on my mind.  I guess I should something.  Stores are probably not open this early.  I sniffed the air.  I smell a bird.  Birds.  Birds are good.  I concentrated and changed into my wolf form.  Yes.  I am a werewolf.  I welcome the pain of the change with open arms.  My bones popped, my spine crunched, claws sprouted, and the fur grows, like my jaws into a snout.  I am a handsome wolf now, of chocolate fur and auburn eyes.  I stealthily walked out to the back lot and looked up in the trees.  There I spotted three or so birds.  I climbed up the tree and pounce my breakfast. 

I walked to school right when the bell rings and sit down in my chair.  I avoid the whispers of "Hey a new kid!" and "Oh wow, he's so cute!" from the girls.  Then a girl with short auburn hair and sparkling emerald eyes came stumbling in.  I sensed a magical presence in her.  A light pink aura that was fluffy and energetic.  Who is she?

"Late again Sakura?" a girl with long wavy purple hair asked, giggling.  This "Sakura" nodded.  I guess that's her name.  She came by and sat in front of me.  I saw that a lot of guys were checking her out and glaring at me with envy.  I have to admit, she is kind of cute even though she's a human.  Her back is facing me and she is talking to her friend. 

"Tomoyo, who's that guy sitting behind me?"

"I think he's the new kid.  Got a crush on him already?" she giggled quietly and Sakura blushes beet red.

"I, uh, I, hoee?"  The teacher finishes calling roll and calls for attention.

"Class.  Today we have a new student from Hong Kong, China.  Please welcome Li Syaoran."  Mainly the girls were clapping and Sakura turned around to look at me.  She again blushes and turns around quickly.  "Li, would you please tell us about yourself?"  He gave me a smile and encouraged me on. 

"..My name is LI Syaoran and I came from the most powerful clan in China."  I sat down and felt really stupid, but no one seemed to care. 

"Very well Li.  Okay class, today's subject is…."  And the class went on.

After the bell rang for lunch, I sat in a tree to gaze upon the school grounds.  Then a rustling noise below startled me.  "Who's there!?

"Um, hi!  I'm Kinomoto Sakura.  Do you mind if I joined you up there?"

I didn't know why I followed the new kid.  I felt like I was becoming those girls who just practically stalk cute guys around.  Well it wasn't my idea; it was my instinct.  And Tomoyo, she said that I would look kawaii with him.  I felt an aura around him.  Green, strong, disciplined, those tough types with a soft center.  Great, I'm talking about him like food.  I'm hungry now, but I have to find out if he does posses magical powers, like me.  I am the Card Mistress, Sakura Kinomoto. 

Just my luck, I see Syaoran climb up the tree with ease.  I walked toward that tree and saw him sitting there, but he heard me coming.

"Who's there?!" he bellowed.  I was nervous.  I wanted to be his friend, kind of.

"Um, hi!  I'm Kinomoto Sakura.  Do you mind if I joined you up there?"  I can't believe I said that.  I look up and he stares down.  He nodded a little and makes room for me to climb up.  Like him, I climb with ease, which I guessed surprised him because I'm a girl.  I felt that presence again.  He must have magical powers.  Maybe I should ask Kero.

She climbed up and again, that pink aura came with her.  She does have powers no doubt.  Is she the Card Mistress?  How should I ask her.  She sits next to me, too close for comfort, and obviously I blush.

"Is there something wrong?  Your face is kind of red," she asked with concern eyes.  Boy, even the first day of school, she is already concerned about me.  I sniffed the air.  She's not a werewolf that's for sure.  Just a human with powers. 

"No."  Awe sat there in silence and she finally spoke up.

"Soooooo…..why did you come here in the first place?  Got a family here?"

"…No.  I came here to find something and bring it back home.  Its really important so I'm not going to leave until I find them."

"Them?  You mean as in plural?"  She seemed interested with my task.  I nodded and she began to fire another question.  "What are they?  Maybe I should help you."  Hmm.  Should I tell her and eat her at night so she wouldn't tell anyone or should I lie?  I picked lying, even though I hated it.

"I just have to find some family possession.  It was stolen by someone."  Well that's half of the truth.  If it weren't for Meilin losing the cards, my family wouldn't be cursed and I wouldn't be retrieving them. 

"Oh.  Well, maybe I should – "

RRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!  The school bell.  Good.  She was so full of life and energy, I can't take it.  I got down first and left her up there.

"Hey wait!  Wait for me!" she wailed.  She could get down.  After all, she has magical powers.  I continue to ignore her and walk away.  That's when I heard her scream.

I was trying to get down from the tree, but then a loose bark fell from my grip and I went down.  I screamed and closed my eyes for the worst to come.  But I didn't hit the ground.  Instead, I think I fell on someone.  I opened my eyes and I see that I have fallen in Syaoran's arms.  He must be blushing like crazy because he was so red!  I felt my face get hot too.  He put me down and looked at the ground. 

"Got to go.  Bye Sakura."  He walked away and Tomoyo came to me.  She had that camcorder in her face and was recording every scene that happened. 

"Heeheehee!!  That was perfect!! Not to mention so KAWAAAAIIIIIIIIII!!!!"  She had those stars in her eyes and had a dreamy look.  "Maybe I should do a movie…"

Time passes by and it's the end of school.  I put on my roller blades and said bye to Tomoyo.  I started to skate home on top speed because I had to tell Kero about Syaoran.  Speaking of which, I ran into him.  Or ran him over.  We laid on the ground in a heap and I scrambled off him. 

"Gomen Syaoran!  I was in a rush and didn't see you!  Gomen nasai!!"  I pulled him up and watched him dust himself.  I hope he's not pissed off.  I really want to be his friend now.  "Are you okay?"

"Yeah.  Just watch where you are going."  He started his way home, I think, and left me standing there.  I stuck out my tongue at him and continued my way home.

"Dad!  Touya!  I'm home!  Hoe?  Where is everybody?"  I took off my roller blades and made my way up to my room.  As usual, Kero is playing games.  "Kero, I have to tell you something really important.  We have this new kid at school and – "

"What's so great about a new kid?  I'm busy here!"  he grunted and swayed form side to side at his game.

"Kero, I sensed magic from him!"  Kero stopped and turned around.  He turned off the game system and looked at me quizzically. 

"Are you sure?  Is he good or bad?"  He hovered to me swiftly.

"I don't know.  His aura didn't seem evil.  I talked to him today and he said that he came from Hong Kong, China."  Kero fluttered to the Clow Book.  "It can't be a clow card!  You capture everyone.  I don't think there's a new one either."

"Maybe he's a sorcerer."

"Well whatever he is, he might cause trouble.  You should keep a close eye on him tonight.  I have a bad feeling from him."

"Why?  You didn't even meet him."

"Hey, I'm the great Keroberus and I think something bad will happen.  You should keep the Clow Book in a safe place."

"Right."

I couldn't believe that I caught her.  I plopped down on my new bed and looked at the ceiling.  She may be pretty and all, but I'm engaged already, but Sakura was nice to me and Meilin is so whiny and troublesome.  Arrghh!  Why am I thinking of this now?  I should be getting ready to find the cards.  I curled on my bed to rest and I thought of one thing only: already and I think I like Sakura.

Hehehehehe!  So what do you think?  Yeah it may sound boring at first, but maybe you should read the whole thing because it might get interesting.  Anyways, pleas review!
