A/N; this is the third chapter folks. And I want to take this time to personally thank dbzgt2004 for being my first reviewer. I told myself I'd update as long as I know someone likes my story. Arigato. And now here's the third chapter.

Under a Wolf's Eye

chapter 3

Sakura stopped in her place. She was frozen stiff. Syaoran's words replayed in her mind. Starting tomorrow, you will belong to me... little girl. His words were like a broken record that kept repeating in her mind. While Sakura was lost in her own thoughts, Eriol was waving his hand in her face, trying to snap her out of it.

"Sakura. Hey Sakura, can you hear me," he asked. He snapped his fingers in her face and she broke out of her trans-like faze. She blinked a couple of times before she noticed Eriol smiling at her with a welcoming smile. "It's good to see you finally joined the real world again." Sakura blushed a little in embarrassment. "Well anyway. We're at your room so you can do whatever it is you want to do there. Do you want me to send Tomoyo for you?"

"Can you?" she asked. Eriol nodded his head and Sakura smiled. She bowed politely to him and went into her room. Eriol made his way down the hall and turned right. Instead of going to Tomoyo's room, which was a few doors down from hers, he went to visit Syaoran first. When he got there, he knocked on the door and heard a muffled come in.

Syaoran was in his room looking for a new shirt to put own. When he came from waiting by Sakura's room, he took a quick shower. Syaoran's room is a lot like Sakura's, and so is many other rooms in the house. Inside of his room being pink like Sakura's, his was a forest green color. He still had the Japanese futon bed with a green bed spread, a dresser on the right side and a small table on the left. His bathroom was on the right side of his room, close to where his bedroom door is. He had a walk in closet that was opposite side of his bathroom door. Swords and other weapons lined up on the walls and in a glass cabinet he had on the left and right side of the door. And for a boy his age, his room was unbelievably neat. When he was putting on his shirt, he heard someone knocking on his slide open door. He said a muffled come in and the person entered. When he saw who it was, he groaned. He should have known it would be Eriol.

"What is it that you want this time Eriol?" he asked a bit annoyed.

"What's wrong Syaoran? You do seem to happy to see me." Eriol spoke, pretending that he was hurt by Syaoran's words. He put a hand over his heart but Syaoran snorted.

"Cut the crap Eriol. I just saw you a few minutes ago. And you really need to take a shower. You're still covered in sweat from training."

"Don't worry, I'll take my shower after I handle some business." Syaoran rolled his eyes and went to the sword on his wall that had a green handle and was think in size and long. He took it off the wall and walked over to his bed. He sat down and picked up a cloth from the table and began to wipe his sword off. Eriol stood by the door and began to talk. "What are you planning on doing to Sakura?"

"Kinomoto? Why are you interested?" Syaoran asked in a bored tone, obviously not caring. Eriol dismissed his tone and continued.

"Well when you left her door after whispering something, she was completely shocked. She had this horrified look on her face and she was deep in thought. What did you say to her?"

"So she was scared ne? She should be scared. Judging by the way she looks, she won't last long, unless she surprises me that is." Syaoran said. A evil smirk came to play on his face and he got this crazy look in his eye that Eriol knew all too well. Whatever Syaoran had in store for Sakura, it had something to do with the elders so Eriol knew he couldn't stop him. But that didn't stop him from keeping an eye on Syaoran to make sure he didn't take things too far. Whenever Syaoran had that look in his eye, it meant that he was going to enjoy himself, and this wasn't the normal kind of enjoying yourself either. It wasn't like he was getting something new like a new sword or something he really wanted, which wasn't much really, but it was the pleasure you get when you see someone suffering, or in pain.

"What did you say to her?" Eriol tried again. Syaoran looked from cleaning his sword to look at Eriol. The look in Eriol's eyes suggested that he was serious and that was unusual for him.

"Nothing much. I just basically told her to be prepared tomorrow."

"What do you mean by "prepared?" What are you planning to do to her?"

"Will you relax. The elders want me to train her because they said she was the card mistress that was in charge of the cards but she doesn't know about them or the power she has yet. So the elders want me to train her physically and magically. The elders also told me that I can train her the way I want so long as they get a card mistress out of it. I plan to have my fun."

"You better not over do it Syaoran. She is a very fragile girl. If you do something wrong, you could break her." Eriol informed him. This only made Syaoran's smirk deepen.

"That only makes it better." he said. After being satisfied with how clean his sword was, he put the cloth down and walked back to the wall were he took the sword from and placed it back. "And besides," he continued with his face turned from Eriol's, " I don't give a damn about the girl anyway. Why should I care that she'll get injured in the process. If she really wants to make it out okay then she'll do everything I say and do it right. The more she gets something wrong, the tougher it'll be when she has to do it over until she gets it. You can only learn some things through pain and that's exactly how I'll teach her, through pain." and with that said, Syaoran walked out of his room. Eriol watched he leave and sighed a heavy sigh. This was going to tough and Syaoran was the kind of person who didn't take others advice. He was very stubborn and when he set his mind to something, it was hard to change his mind. I hope you can handle this Sakura.

Sakura sat in her room, staring out the window that wasn't far from her bed. She breathed a heavy sign. She still couldn't get what Syaoran said off her mind and Tomoyo hadn't come to her room yet, but she wasn't going to go look for her. She figured she must be busy. Just then, Syaoran walked outside and Sakura spotted him. She followed his every move. What could he be up to?

Syaoran thought he should take a walk. In times like this, the fresh air always did him some good. He walked a few feet from the door when he felt someone watching him. A knowing smirk came on his face. So, she's watching me now is she? Well lets have some fun. He turned to look at her and gave her a challenging smirk and walked off.

Sakura saw the smirk he flashed her and became confused. "What was that all about?" she whispered to herself. She got off the window seal and walked out of her room. It looked like that was the side entrance. Why would he be going into the forest? She turned the corner and almost bumped into Tomoyo.

"Oh Sakura-chan, there you are. Eriol told me to come and see you. Is everything alright?" she asked with a worried look on her gentle features. Sakura smiled assuring her that everything was okay.

"Don't worry Tomoyo. I'm fine. But there's something that I have to take care of so I'll see you when I come back?"

"Sure thing. If you need anything from me when you get back, come to my room. It's three doors down from yours."

"Okay. See you later." Sakura ran to the side door. Tomoyo watched her as she left. There's something going on with her and I think it has something to do with a certain someone.

Sakura finally made her way to the side door and slid the door open. She looked around for Syaoran and saw him entering the forest. She waited for a bit and then followed him. When she entered the forest, she stopped when she didn't spot Syaoran. "Now where could he be?" she asked no one in particular. She slowly mad her way into the forest, keeping an eye open for anything that might decide to pop their head out at her. Further and further she walked into the forest and still no sign of Syaoran. She didn't even find tracks that would lead to him. "Where could he have gone to?"

Syaoran knew full and well that Sakura had followed him into the forest, just like he planned her to. "Let's see if you can find me little girl." she spoke in a hushed tone so she wouldn't hear him. Syaoran was in a tree, right on top of her. When he entered the forest and got far enough, he jumped into a tree without difficulty and waited for her to pass. And when she did, that's when he began to follow her.

Sakura heard a noise from her left and stopped immediately. Syaoran stopped as well and they both looked to see what the noise was. Sakura got a little scared as nothing came out of the bushes. Trying to overcome her fears, she slowly walked to the bush. Syaoran stayed in his spot and watched Sakura try and act brave. For a wimp, she sure has guts. He thought to himself as he continued to watch her.

Sakura didn't know what she was thinking. Here she was, walking to an area that probably was a trap waiting to catch her. But then again, it could be Li, she thought and kept walking slowly towards the bush. She stopped just a foot away from the bush and leaned by it to move the leaves out the way. Behind the bush was a cute looking rabbit fox. It had long floppy ears that stretched to the ground and bright orange fur. He had long whiskers and a long fox tail. The creature looked up at Sakura with it's head tilted to the side. Sakura let out the breath she didn't know she held in. Thank God it wasn't something big. It's really cute though. She bent down to the creature and began to scratch behind its ear. The creature enjoyed it and began to stomp his foot and wag his tail from side to side, going faster with each passing second.

"You gave me quite a scare little one. That's not a very nice thing to do." she spoke to it. The creature just enjoyed Sakura scratching its ear. A heartwarming smile appeared on her face.

Syaoran sat in the tree watching Sakura with the rabbit fox. Just what I'd expect from someone like her. She's too soft. She better be glad that wasn't one of the monsters that lives in this forest cause I wouldn't have saved you. He told himself quietly as he watched her. She picked up the animal and continued looking for Syaoran, even though he was right on top of her.

"Oh great. Now that I stopped, he's probably too far for me to catch up to him now. What am I suppose to do?" Sakura spoke as she came to a cliff. "Obviously he didn't come this way. It's a complete dead end. Which way should I go back this time?" she asked herself as she stared at the scenery in front of her. It was beautiful multicolored trees that stretched as far as the eye could see. Green, pink, yellow, white, red, blue, purple, gold, all colors and more filled the leaves on the trees. It was as if someone had taken a bunch of multicolored wild flowers and put them together. It was truly a magnificent site.

Syaoran took this time to scare her since she wasn't paying attention. He lowered himself from the tree without making a sound and whispered in her ear. "Who told you to follow me?"

When Syaoran spoke in Sakura's ear, she got scared and jumped nearly ten feet in the are and quickly spun around, but since she was so close to the edge, her foot slipped and she began to fall backwards.

A/N: that's the end of this chapter. There's no more after this. No I'm just kidding. There's so much more that I want to write and I don't like cliffs unless it's absolutely needed. So continue on with the story.

Sakura's eyes widened as she felt herself falling backward off the cliff. She tightened her grip on the animal and shut her eyes tightly, hoping that when she fell, it would be quick and painless. Then she felt something grab her hand and she stopped falling. She slowly opened one eye and saw Syaoran holding her hand so she wouldn't fall. He quickly pulled her up and gave her room to fall on the ground. She let the animal fall to the ground while she caught her breath. She looked up at Syaoran to see that he had a wicked smirk on his face. Her face became flustered with anger and she stood up, a little to fast because she wobbled a little before regaining balance.

"And what is just so funny?" she asked a bit rudely but she didn't care.

"You really are pathetic. Didn't someone ever tell you not to let your guard down?" he asked.

"Didn't someone ever tell you that it was wrong to sneak up on people like that? What if I actually fell down and died. It would've been your fault for sneaking up on me like that." she retorted back.

"Well, if I hadn't caught you in time, than that would have been your own fault for not holding your hand out. You're were so worried about that damn animal instead of your own life. And I never told you to follow me. If you hadn't been so nosey, this could have been avoided."

"Don't you put the blame on me. And I wanted to save the animal. If you hadn't caught me, then at least one of us would have been able to make it out alive." she answered back.

"Yeah and then he would have been someone's pray because he'd be too injured to save himself so what was the point?" he replied, not really caring about the animal. This, of course, made Sakura even madder.

"What's wrong with you? How can you be so heartless? Animals have feelings too. They aren't stupid and can do things themselves. It's people like you who don't appreciate the things in this world. All you see is that animals are something you can eat and use their skins for clothing."

"I don't know about the whole clothes thing but I do see animals as something to eat. That's all we really eat her, especially in my house. In case you didn't notice, we are half wolf so that means we feed off of what wolves normally eat. And that does include animals."

"That's just wrong. So you kill and kill these animals and eat them?" she asked.

"That's the only way to get the meat here." He dismissed the subject and began to walk away.

"Why did you save me?" she asked him. This made him stop and turn to face her.

"Because if I let you die, I won't be able to have my fun tomorrow." he continued to walk after that. Sakura just stared at him. The rest of the day was uneventful. She went to Tomoyo's room and they talked til dinner, Syaoran and Sakura didn't say anything to each other, and then it was time for Sakura to go to bed, seeing as how she was tired.

The sun shone through the light pink drapes of Sakura's room. It made its way to the sleeping beauty resting comfortably in her futon. She turned from the light groaning, obvious not liking the morning rays and oblivious to the figure standing above.

Syaoran knocked on Sakura's door when the sun began to rise. In his hand was a bucket of icy cold water filled all the way up to the top. When he heard no answer, he let himself in. Just as he walked in, he saw the sun casting a beautiful light on her sleeping figure. He stopped and stared right at her as she slept without a care in the world, as the sun played on her delicate features. The rays light brought out her true beauty, making her face shine with a glow that seemed out of this world. An evil smile played on his face as he walked closer to the bed. Now as he hovered directly over top of her, he turned the water bucket over and it completely got her soaked to the bone.

Sakura woke up abruptly when she felt extremely cold water fall on her, getting her completely soaked. And the fact that she was wearing a thin night gown wasn't helping her situation either. She looked up at Syaoran and glared at him. "What the heck was that for?"

Syaoran didn't respond. He was staring right at her drenched body. He didn't realize that her night gown was so thin. It completely stuck to her body, outlining all of her curves and everything else. Sakura noticed this and covered herself up with the wet blanket. Syaoran snapped out of his gaze and looked at Sakura's blushing face. "Why did you pour water on me?" she tried again.

Syaoran glared slightly at her and replied, "Because you have to get up. There will be no sleeping on my time."

"What do you mean "your time"? If you hadn't noticed, it's extremely early in the morning and I would like to go back to sleep like a normal person. And I'm not on your time." she retorted back.

"Look, I'm not going to argue with you. I see that you have forgotten our little chat yesterday."

"What chat?" she asked.

"The one when I said that starting today you'd be mine? I meant what I said. Like I said, you belong to me now and you're wasting my time. So get out of that futon and get your lazy ass into some clothes. When you get finished, meet me in the back." Leaving no room for a reply, he exited the room. The rather small conversation Syaoran had with her when she was walking back to her room came flooding back to her mind. She did recall Syaoran saying those words but she forgot all about it as the day went on. The conversation was so sort, there wasn't much to remember. Sighing, she got out of bed and went to her bathroom, where she took a nice shower and got into some clothes.

Syaoran had been waiting outside for over a half an hour. He hated waiting for people. When he wanted someone to be wherever it was they needed to be, then the should be there, especially since it involved him. He sighed for the hundredth time that morning, when she got out there and started the training, he was sure to teach her a lesson about being late, his own way. Syaoran finally spotted Sakura running towards him. When she got to him, she was all out of breath. She took a minute to regain it and then looked up at his face to see a glare plastered on it. She smiled sheepishly. "Gomen nasai. I didn't mean to be late."

"Well, you are. And I don't tolerate lateness. You'll just have to make it up when we get started." he replied and turned around to walk in the middle of the green field. Sakura looked confused.

"Get started with what? What are we going to be doing anyways? You never told me."

"I'm going to train you, both physically, mentally, and magically."

"Why? What are you doing this for?" a confused Sakura questioned. Syaoran still hadn't faced her but continued to talk.

"There is a gift called the clow cards. Only one person can wield them until the wielder dies, than they move on to the new master. This time, we have a mistress to harness the power of the cards. And the mistress, believe it or not, id you."

"But I don't know about any cards? And why do I have to control them?" Syaoran finally turned to face her and walked over to her, stopping right in front of her. His tall for towered over hers and she had to look up a little to see him.

"Do you have that key that you always carry around with you now?" he asked. Sakura nodded her head and took out the key. She held it up so Syaoran could see that she had it. "That is known and the sealing key, or the clow key. It belongs to a book of tarot looking cards known as the clow cards. With that key, you can call upon a staff that would help you use the cards. Unless you have extraordinary powers to wield the cards without the staff, you must use it at all times when you use the cards. That is why I have to train you."

"Are you going to teach me how to use this staff?" she asked. Syaoran snorted and turned away again, walking to the middle of the field again. He turned to face her and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was wearing a green Chinese jacket with cuffed sleeves. He had on a pair of loose white training pants and a pair of black Chinese shoes.

"Of course not. At least, not right now. You're not ready to wield that kind of power yet. And you still don't know the bases of hand to hand combat. That is where we'll start. Get over here." he demanded. Sakura obeyed and walked closer to Syaoran. He told her to stop when she was close enough. "Okay, first we begin with the stance. You can't be a good fighter without some kind of stance to assure that you could block an on coming attack, only if you see it coming. Raise one arm like this and raise the other arm as well but keep it lower that the first." he told her while he demonstrated. Sakura did as she was told as she watched Syaoran and copied him. "Now you want to put your right foot out in front of you and bend both knees slightly." she did as she was told. "Now that you know the stance, lets see how much you know on your own." she couldn't comprehend his words because as soon as he said them, he rushed to her and knocked her down hard on her back. The wind was knocked out of her and she gasped to recover it. It was a cheap move that he pulled off, this much Sakura knew. Syaoran stood over her, looking down at her small form. An evil smirk played on his face.

"I see you still have a lot to learn." he said.

"That... was a... cheap sh-shot and you ... kn-know it." she got out, finally regaining enough air.

"Don't think of it as a cheap shot. Think of it as payback for making me wait so long for you to come outside. I hate to wait and for each time you make me wait, the longer I have to wait, the harder I'll hit so you better make it a note to come here on time. Now get up. I have a lot to teach you apparently. This is my training and in my training, there is no mercy. He spoke icily to her. The whole day that Sakura and Syaoran spent training was like hell for Sakura. All they did was non-stop training, maybe they stopped for a ten minute break to eat or something, and then they got right back at it. It was a mistake for Sakura to eat something and then go back to the training that Syaoran put her through. Her stomach started acting up and it felt like she was going to be sick. Night fell and Sakura lied down on her futon, motionless. She hadn't really seen Tomoyo all day and she just basically got out of training with the devil himself. Her whole body was sore from the constant attacks that Syaoran delivered to her. She could barely walk up to her room. It felt like gravity was pushing heavily down on her sore body making the pain worse. Whenever she moved, it felt like her muscles were being torn apart. And it was only the first day! And to make matters worse, Syaoran was just toying with her. He didn't even break a sweat. He loved seeing her in pain and he thoroughly enjoyed it. How long was he going to torture her for?

Just then, as Sakura closed her eyes, he door slide opened and Tomoyo walked in carrying a white box with her. Sakura didn't bother to turn around to face her, not that she could anyways. Tomoyo set the box next to Sakura and sat herself down next to her, bending down to look into Sakura's face. "Hey there. It looks like you had a tiring day." she spoke softly as to not give Sakura a headache, if she didn't already have one.

"It was the worst. And the thing is, he was only joking with me. I saw it in his eyes and he told me. It's only been a day but we've been training practically non-stop. I don't think I can do this any more."

"So that's what you were doing with Syaoran. I was wondering what it was. No wonder you didn't have time to come and see me. When Syaoran trains someone, he doesn't show mercy. He doesn't care if it's a girl, boy, baby, you name it. That's the only time I genuinely see him so excited, even though I find it a bit strange that someone can fid pleasure in someone else's pain. I guess that's the wolf in him, though I don't think so. Anyways," she started back up after a short pause, "I figured that you might need this so I brought you some creams that will ease the pain in your muscles. It'll help you heal faster and you'll feel less sore."

"Thank you so much Tomoyo. Right now, I don't know what I'd do without you right now." Sakura replied gratefully. Tomoyo just smiled and opened up the box to get some of the cream. She put some on her hands and started with Sakura's arms.

"Don't mention it." She finished. "Now, lift up your shirt. I need to put this on your back."
