Howl in the Night- Chapter 3
Sakura woke up groggily sometime during the night, a cold breeze had her shivering so much that as she tried to move she whimpered in pain, causing a movement beside her. She blinked her emerald eyes, her auds pinned to her head before she felt a nudge beside her as someone curled around her, blocking the cold breeze of the night. She sighed and snuggled into the fur and let sleep claim her again.
Syoaran had been asleep when he heard movement from the injured female, waking up he noticed that she shivered as the breeze entered the cave. Touya was beside one of his sisters and had left Sakura alone. Thinking back to when he first heard the name, he though it suited her perfectly, getting up when she whimpered and moved closer to her and nudged into her side, curling around her. He glanced around glad to see that every one was a sleep, before he laid his head next to hers, his tail curling around her body to provide extra warmth. Falling asleep contently as he laid next to her, he didn't catch the smile on his fathers face nor mothers as they had woken up at Sakura's whimper of pain.
Sakura woke up with warmth beside her, the sun was shining into the cave and someone was talking to another, without leaving their position, nor sensing that she was fully awake this time. She yawned and looked up at the black coated wolf beside her, he was growling, and his tail swished slightly in annoyance against her side.
Syoaran didn't feel her move beside him but then blinked when Sakura tried to stand; Syoaran ignored his enemy in the pack to look at Sakura. "Are you ok?" He said softly, standing and helping her before she fell and hurt her self even more.
Sakura smiled at the wolf happy for the concern, her emerald eyes meeting his amber, and she worked to restart her heart. She nodded as she finally stood with his help that is, "I'm ok, although I feel like I have been tossed down a rock face." She said softly, she looked at the one he was fitting with and her instincts screamed to stay away from that wolf. Although they were silent with the black wolf beside her, who know helped her stand properly and helped her walk to the cave entrance.
Syoaran looked at her, ears perked listening to his enemy growl at his back. Amber eyes narrowed when she nearly fell, he helped her stand once more. And didn't let go until he was certain she could walk on her own again, but he still helped her. They went to the water and he sat down watching Sakura lay in the short end of the stream. When he heard her stomach growl he smiled slightly and moved to the woods. A few moments later he came back with a small bird, hoping she wouldn't get offended, but they didn't have dog food.
Sakura thanked him, blushing under her coat when her stomach growled, she looked at the bird and was glad for the meal, she had eaten a bird before but it was slightly larger. With a smile she dug into the offered meal and sat in peace after words. Just in enjoying the wolf's company. She blushed and realized that she didn't know his name, "My names Sakura, what's yours?" She asked.
Syoaran content with the silence and her company, he looked up, a smile lit his maw, "Syoaran Li, but you can call me Syoaran." He said, he didn't voice it but he liked it when she smiled, but he wouldn't tell anyone. His auds twitched and he looked at his niece came out to meet them, he chuckled softly, as he got pounced on, the little girl stopped and looked at Sakura, giving a shy thank you.
Sakura smiled at the little pup before watching her disappear into the bushes once more, and not coming back, she sighed suddenly feeling tired and she slowly walked up the bank in pain, before laying down under an area with sun.
Her eyes closed even before she could order herself to stay awake. Syoaran watched her, concern written all over his face, he shook his head but stood, he looked around seeing no one and curled around her once more, watching as she slept, before looking around him to make sure her rest wasn't disturbed.
