無声生命: Wolves Curse

Families

Sakura's POV

My eyes didn't feel heavy anymore so I finally was able to open them without forcing myself. The first thing I saw was Syaoran's sleeping face. He was breathing steadily and he looked to adorable. I was about to touch his face when I felt something in my arms move. When I looked down I was surprised to find a little girl snuggled in my breasts. That was a little surprising.

A child.

I bent down a bit careful not to crush her small frame. The child had short amber hair that looked exactly like Syaoran's. Her face was round as if she had just grown into this state of her life.

"That's my little sister, Li Ling." I looked up to see Syaoran looking over me and the child.

"You have a younger sister? I thought it was only four." He winced and shook his head.

"I have four sisters they are all older than me. But Ling is the youngest of our family she's only three years old."

"Oh." The girl started to twist in my arms. When she finally decided what position to be in she turned and buried her little head further into my breast. My face flushed bright red but then she tried to wrap her small arms around me. I smiled and took her arms in my hand and put them down. Then I wrapped her into an embrace and she snuggled closer to me.

"She adores you." My smile widened. Though I have not even met her fully it made me happy to know she already likes me.

"She's so small; she looks like a toy doll."

"I know, let her sleep a little more. She stayed up late last night." Suspicion arose in me when he said late, last, and night in the same sentence concerning a baby.

"How late?"

"About till one." My eyes widened in total shock.

"In the morning?!?!" He nodded and instantly I shot up the bed and glared at him.

"What do you mean she stayed up until one in the morning?!?! Li Syaoran are you crazy?! I shouted at him. He sat up and pointed at her. I looked down and she was staring at me with wide sunset orange eyes.

"Sakuwa, I'm hwngwy." (Sakura I'm hungry) She said sleepily rubbing her eyes. She was so cute I just had to smile.

"Go wash up Ling. I'll give you something to eat."

"Bwt my chows." (But my chores) My smile faltered a bit. It was troubling that she was so young and had chores.

"You don't have any chores, go take a shower hun." She climbed off the bed and I saw the palm of her hands were brown. I stood and took them examining them. "Your hands…what happened?" She pulled them away and sent a frightened glance at her elder brother.

"Go Ling. Bath here and I'll go see if I can get you some cloths."

"Awight." She walked into the nearby door and went inside. I assumed that was the bathroom.

"What happened to her hands?" I asked Syaoran as I sat back down. But he didn't answer my question. "Syaoran?" He sighed angrily.

"Damned Elders."

"What did they do to her?" His hands clenched into fists and they started to shake. "Syao?" I put my hands over his. A terrible feeling was coming over me and I knew it was because I was so connected to Syaoran through my powers.

"You hate them. I can feel it but tell me why."

I didn't like the way his hatred made me fell. It was a black feeling that surrounded my heart and it was beginning to fill with anger. A void that filled with anger and murderous desires was something too dangerous to be felt by anyone with the mind to carry them out.

"I love you too much for you to suffer like this." I looked into his eyes and found that he was totally surprised. But then he smiled and pulled me towards him placing a light feathery kiss on my lips.

"They don't want her to live. They make her work or in any way try to kill her. But my mother has not allowed them to touch or harm or use her as a maid. But she has been away for a long time and the Elders have taken advantage of that misfortune. As you can see they make her work until she can't even go with herself."

"But what about school?"

"Li clan children never go to regular elementary school. They are taught her. But the Elders have completely refused to teach her anything. Mother is too busy to even try."

Well I guess I know my job here. I have three children to take care of and one of them is my priority.

"I'll take care of her." His hands started to shake again and the void feeling came back.

"No! Sakura they'll try to hurt you…I won't let that happen."

"Syaoran I can't just leave her to suffer isn't she important to you?"

"Yes, but…"

"Let me be her guardian for right now." It looked like he was thinking it over. Then he hugged me and kissed me again.

"As you wish blossom. I won't let those people touch you or Ling." In that minute Ling came out of the shower completely naked.

"I'm sowwy!! I didn't meawn to!!" She was crying.

"What!? What happened? Ling hun speak."

"My clowths! Thew wet!! Down't whip me!!" (My cloths! Their wet!! Don't whip me!!) She cried louder as if someone was already beating her.

"Whip you? Why would I do that? Honey it was an accident."

"Bwt thewy do when I do somewthwing wong!" (But they do when I do something wrong)

"Who?"

"Thwe Ewldwes!" Above Ling's crying I heard that Syaoran had stopped breathing. I turned and when I saw his eyes a terrible feeling flashed in me and him. "I'm sowwy! I'm sowwy!"

"Ling, love it's alright." I said trying to calm her. The door of the room slammed shut. "Syaoran!!" I shouted but he was already gone. I could hear Ling cry louder because of the sudden noise. I hugged her and cradled her in my arms.

"Oh my little blossom…" She looked at me and her crying calmed down a bit. Her sunset eyes were glazed with tears gazed at me with curiosity. "Please don't cry. I'll always be beside you. The sun may fall the moon may rise my eyes will forever watch you." She sniffled.

"Yow not going to whip me?" I hugged her tight.

"Of course not Ling. You won't get any more beatings from anyone anymore."

"Bwt…"

"But nothing. I'm going to protect you from those Elders. They won't hurt you anymore." I turned her around and gasped. Her back had many red marks. Some fresh others still healing. My eyes stung with tears. Then I remembered if Syaoran saw this he would really shed blood.

'Poor child.' I heard Ying Fa say. She kneeled down and touched Ling's back. 'It it alright to heal her?'

"But I don't know if I have enough energy."

'You do' I looked at her back and my mind was made up.

"Ling I'm going to try to make these all better alright? It will sting so please stay calm."

"Awight." I pressed my hands gently against her back and she flinched a bit but endured the sting. I was surprised she took it so quietly.

'Ready' I nodded.

"Ling are you ready?"

"Yews."

I closed my eyes and concentrated on healing her. Soon I felt a warm feeling in my hands that travelled out to her. When I couldn't feel the warmness anymore I opened my eyes. I saw that her back was free of any marks of beatings and I let out a relieved sigh.

"Thwanks Sakuwa."

"Ling I need you to promise me that you won't go anywhere without me or your big brother alright?" She nodded.

"Sakura-chan?" I heard Tomoyo ask outside the room. She was just the person I needed.

"Come in Tomo-chan." She slid the door open and gasped when she saw Ling. Tomoyo kneeled by me and smiled at her.

"You are so adorable!! You look just like Li-kun."

"She's his sister." Tomoyo frowned.

"I swear, I should have asked him I would have brought more cloths or even a whole bag for her!!"

"Speaking of cloths do you have any extra? I mean from when the twins were small. She wet hers and I don't think she has anymore." She smiled.

"Of course I do!! I always keep extra you know just in case." She winked at me and I flushed.

"Tomo you know you can scare me stop!!" She giggled.

"I know. Come beautiful we have some work to do." She beckoned ling over but she clung to me.

"It's alright Ling. This is Aunt Tomoyo she's my best friend. Go with her and she'll make you pretty." Lings face lit up like a candle.

"Prewty!? Just like momma?!" (Pretty just like mama?)

"Just like mama."

"YAY!!!"

"Tomoyo I have to go look for Syaoran he seemed…" Tomoyo put a hand on my shoulder.

"Go ahead, you don't have to explain. I'll take good care of Ling."

"Thanks Tomo." I hugged her then kissed Ling's forehead and ran out the room.

I had to find Syaoran before he did or said anything rash. When he becomes angry he is up to kill. I don't want him to kill anyone especially not after Hu. I ran through the ancient Chinese mansion not having a clue where I should start looking. I was on the second floor when I could hear voices beginning to rise in a room.

"YOU TRICKED THEM!!"

"Xiao Lang lower your voice."

"Fuck off Futtie!!"

"Leave him!" An old raspy voice shouted making the room go deadly quite. Obviously that man had power in the room. Sakura neared her ear to the door to listen in closer as the voices become low.

"You had no right-"

"I am the Leader of this Clan! My rights have no restriction!! Your curse has been passed down from generation to generation. Your time to bear it has come. Your association with that girl has made the curse stronger therefore she will suffer with you!!"

I jumped back from the door and my throat shut up to my neck. I held my chest trying to breath but it wouldn't work. Somehow those last words had more impact on me than the others. I recognized them from long before. Much longer than I had meet him. But where? Where could I have heard of speaking of curses before meeting Syaoran?

"C-curse?" I whispered to myself trying to make sense of the conversation. Syaoran had mentioned something about that before as well. "What curse?"

'Sakura…' Ying Fa appeared beside me here green eyes filled with guilt. Instantly I knew she was hiding something important from me. Something that I needed to now before anymore was revealed to me.

"You know!!" I hissed. She stepped back and looked away from my accusing eyes. "YING FA!! TELL ME!!" I screamed. She winced and shook her head.

"Who is there!?!" I froze in my spot remembering that people inside were speaking. I still stared at Ying Fa and my lips had gone white with fear. Ying Fa knew about that curse, I could feel it.

Inside Syaoran sighed and turned to the door. His footsteps heavy and monotonous went to it and stopped not opening the door. His sisters watched in amazement at the control he had over himself at that point. It was rare to see Syaoran not act on impulses.

"Sakura-"My breath hitched in my throat. There he goes again calling me Sakura. From the side of my eye I saw his shadow shaped on the paper of the door. He reached to open it but held back and put his arm back to his side. "Blossom I know you're there, answer me." He cooed gently at me. I loved how his voice sounded but someone ruined it with the feeling he gave to Syaoran.

"If that girl will not show herself before us I will not hesitate to take her life!! As that child she has no value to us." The room was quite again. Then a terrible sensation came over me. A taste to smell blood and kill, wanting to hear the agonized screams for mercy when none would be given. I couldn't take it anymore so quickly and without a second thought I opened the door and threw myself on Syaoran.

"Stop it!" I whispered to him. His arms came around my waist and tightened their hold on me.

"Bl-"

"Please, Syaoran I know what you're feeling. You're thoughts and emotions are stronger in me than any other that I can sense. Stop wanting to kill them. Stop it Syaoran. P-Please…"

"Blossom," Again he sighed. He buried his head into my hair and kissed the top of my head gingerly. Both of us forgot about any bystanders watching us. No matter what happened Syaoran would always be this way. "I'm sorry; I'll try not to do it again."

'Don't lie to me Syao, please don't.'

'I'm not. Sakura it's hurting you. Whatever hurts you I refuse to do. It's another way for you to know how much I love you.' I grabbed his shirt.

'Thank you Syao.' He lowered his head and breathed slightly on my lips. I parted them and he kissed me. Gently he cooed me deeper into the kiss that I drowned into by only his touch.

'I love you. And I promise I will stop. Don't you ever forget my love for you.' I tried to push myself away but he wouldn't let me. My body went limp in his arms as he deepened our kiss. He was scared of something.

'I won't.'

"XIAO LANG!!"

Syaoran's POV

I kissed her just a little bit longer before the man screamed at me again. I didn't care what they did with me or what the curse did. Sakura was off limits at all times, she was mine and I would protect her at all costs, even if it meant dying for her. I ended the kiss and drew away from her slowly. I could feel the surprise of my sisters and the Elders, I was showing public affection to them but again I didn't care. I could do what I wanted with her and I would take advantage of the times I could.

"Tell me again." She whispered laying her head on my chest. I kissed her head and held her tighter.

"I will love you forever, Sakura."

"XIAO LANG LI!!!" I ignored the raspy voice that continued to call me. I only had ears for Sakura.

"Say it again."

"I will love you…"

"LI!!"

"Forever." She buried her head in my chest a bit further.

"One more time."

"I love you and will love you forever."

I heard footsteps coming near us. Instantly I knew it was one of the five Elders coming to break us apart. I wouldn't let her go, not with them in here and so close to something precious to me aside from my sisters. I turned to him and faced him with unchanging eyes. Sakura hanged onto me sensing the power emitting from him which I knew she would feel soon enough. As all the rest he had a black cloak, it covered his face. It was all right with me, Sakura couldn't see him so I was happy.

"Xiao Lang I have more patients than the others. Please you cannot be so rude and disrespectful. Your family has taught you better and if your discipline does not make you yield, our magic will." Sakura's grip tightened on me as she stared at him. I frowned, he was right.

"What do you want?" I said through clenched teeth. I saw him smirk under the cloak and I was filled with rage.

"Introduce this…girl to us."

"What if I don't?"

"Syaoran please." Femi said begging me not to be such an idiot.

"This is Kinomoto Sakura. She is my fiancée" He smiled ominously and stuck out one of his boney hands for her to shake.

"It is an honor." Hesitantly Sakura shook his hand, "But that title is for us to decide." Sakura immediately pulled away. She staggered her face turned pale and she fell. I caught her and she looked up at me eyes wide.

"Sakura! Sakura!" She breathed in slowly then exhaled. I helped her sit up and called to her again but she looked up at the Elder her frame beginning to shake.

"He…he…" She began to breathe heavily and sweat began to cover her face.

"Blossom, tell me what's wrong!" Her gaze shifted to mine and her eyes flickered gray a moment. She gripped my arm and gasped again.

"T-Too much power…he's like Anuie." His smile widened as he spoke again. I embraced her, I knew what he was going to do and I wouldn't let her bear it alone.

"Get out of the way Xiao Lang." I glared at him.

"No."

"Let her go!!" I didn't answer and as punishment with a flick of his hand he sent me and Sakura into a wall. I hit it and fell but would not let go of her. "Since you want to join her so be it. But any help from you and both her and you will die." His gaze on Sakura's small frame became intent. She let out a scream and her body slammed onto the wooden floor. I was held in place, paralyzed with his magic. My sisters sat and stared in sympathy while my blood boiled. They were becoming cowards! But Sakura was in more pain than me and I could do nothing.

'Sakura, you have to deflect his magic!! It's the only way.'

"I-It hurts." She responded aloud. The Elder snickered and all I could do was send him a glare.

'I know it does. But I can't help you. Your magic is strong use it.'

"Do you really except us to accept a weakling?" It took me some effort but I spoke in defiance.

"She is not weak."

"Liars are not permitted in this clan."

"FU-"

"I-It's alright Syao." Sakura said beginning to get on her knees.

A gasp coursed through the room and the Elder applied more pressure to his magic. Sakura spit to the floor and blood dripped from the side of her lip. She breathed heavily but still tried to get up. When she finally stood she looked him dead in the eyes. I smiled, I knew that look. She was challenging him.

"Interesting," he mumbled. He let me go and I stood about to help but he held me back. Sakura's eyes widened and I imagined that he had unleashed the full scale of his ability on her. Sakura reached for her bracelet and unhooked the Star Key.

"R-release." She said quietly. The key became a baton then she took out a card and struck it with the wand. "S-SHIELD!" The card disappeared and instead a pink sphere surround her and the Elders' magic had no more effect.

"Clow has passed on his magic to a piece of trash, what a waste." He grumbled in Chinese. A low growl formed at the base of my throat and for a split second I gave into the other self and my eyes flashed black.

"You promised me." Sakura said a pained expression crossed her face. I came and stood in front of her.

"Let her go." I said.

"Who are you to order an Elder of the Clan?"

"SHE PASSED THE FUCKING TEST! LET HER GO!" He sighed in defeat and turned away. Sakura's breathing leaved a bit and I knew he had let go of the magic chain he had on her. I turned back to her and she was on her knees again and holding her chest in pain. I knelled down and took her hand.

"It's alright blossom. You can let go of your magic as well." Her head lifted and she sent me a nervous glance. "Trust me." She nodded and let it go.

"Thank you." She whispered, I gave her a smile and was glad she had enough energy to blush. I felt her cheek gently and my smile grew as the urge to kiss her did as well.

"Take it easy Blossom. You've been using too much magic."

"I'll be fine." She said taking his hand.

"So is the meeting over?" I chuckled, no matter what Futtie would always have that spunk in her.

"Be still women!!" One of them shouted. I growled, who did he think he was?

"You shouldn't speak to her that way." Sakura said and everyone stared at her in awe. "It isn't nice."

"Keep quite wench! Your future is in our hands. The heir to this clan must have a women that will obey without question not one who will defy him!"

"Then I guess you'll have problems with me." I couldn't help but chuckle again. They were a like, Futtie and Sakura. Another Elder sighed and waved a bony hand.

"Just leave, Xiao Lang, Kinomoto."

"Why must they leave?!"

"Make her go through more tests!" Then all hell broke loss as the five Elders bickered.

"SAKUWA!!" Again Sakura's face paled as the familiar voice reached her ears.

"Oh no…" She whispered. I cursed slightly under my breath. Oh no was fucking right! Ling shouldn't be here but despite me silent wish she came running into the room and hugged Sakura's legs.

"Ling! Li Ling!!" Tomoyo shouted coming behind her. "Didn't I tell you to wait?!"

My eyes widened as I saw her clearly. Ling looked better than she has for years. I imagine that Tomoyo gave her a whole new wardrobe of cloths for her to where, and I bet you some pants were in there too. Ling had on a blue and white striped blouse and surprise, surprise, black cargo pants with little butterflies trailing up the sides. Her feet were in white sandals and her hair was let loose, it reached her shoulders. It was adorned with a girlish bow and her ears had gold earrings, her neck a gold chain, her wrist a bracelet, and her pinky finger a toy ring.

"Bwt Awnt Tomowo!" I laughed a little, I liked her nickname. Ling pouted cutely and her clean face shined with mischievousness. Tomoyo sighed and smiled.

"Go ahead and show her then."With a shout of joy Ling turned back to Sakura. Sakura had cleaned her face quickly before Ling noticed anything wrong.

"Wook Sakuwa!!" She held up a piece of paper and showed it to Sakura. Sakura lifted her up and took the paper from her hands.

"Ohhh!! What's this?" Ling smiled triumphantly.

"Moy name!! Awnt Tomowo taught me how to wite it!!" She pointed at the first squiggly letter. "See!! L-I-N-G, Ling!!"

"Really?" Sakura asked in amazement staring at Tomoyo. Ling jumped down and hugged her as well.

"My kids are not going to learn everything at school." Sakura giggled. They were about to start chatting when an Elder deicide he had enough.

"Who has taught her this?!" The first Elder Xiang shouted in anger and disbelief. "The child has no value to the Clan. We have abstained from teaching her any level of education because she is worthless! Who has committed this treachery!?" Sakura took a protective position in front of Ling and I was right at her side. Tomoyo came a little further up but I held her back. She didn't know what they were capable of. But on second thought this is the Tomoyo we are talking about…still.

"Stay behind me Ling." Sakura warned turning back to the Elders. Ling in response held onto her leg. But this only made Xiang angrier. He vanished and was instantly beside Tomoyo. She jumped back a bit while he pointed an accusing finger at her.

"Was it you?!" Tomoyo gave him one of her know it all smiles.

"Well, if you think about it logically….I'm not a part of this clan so it wouldn't be considered a 'treachery' like you say it is." Xiang's aura blasted out in the small room. Yeah, he was pissed.

"Defiant just as your friend. I will teach you to respect us!" He raised his arm ready to slap her across the face like he did every other woman who wouldn't do what he wanted or respect. I was going to put myself in the middle when suddenly I felt this incredibly murderous aura come into the room. I chocked a bit, it felt like the Grim Reaper himself had come inside. I could imagine who it was from.

"Her name," A tall black figure came between them both and something held the Elders bony had ready to be crushed. "Is Daidouji Tomoyo." None other than Hiragizawa Eriol, one thing I have learned since we have been friends is when something precious to him is threatened you either run or face the music. Because eventually he will find you and your punishment would be much worse than before, in simpler words…which do you prefer pain or death? "She is my fiancée is there a problem Elders of the Li Clan?" He threw away the hand in his hand and went to Tomoyo taking her waist protectively. His eyes had been closed all through this and when I looked at Xiang he was holding his twisted arm and shaking.

"The reincarnation of Clow R-Reed." Eriol opened his eyes. I don't think the Grim Reaper himself could look like this! His eyes were hard and cold like as if the ocean sea had been frozen over and could touch you. A sliver of fear ran up my spine. Sakura held onto Ling and raised her back in her arms.

"Eriol." Tomoyo whispered her voice shook, She stared up at him a worried expression crossed her face. In response he tightened his hold on her.

"Leave." He said curtly referring to the Elders. But they didn't move and inch. Eriol sighed. "As reincarnation of Clow Reed I have full authority over this clan and it's appointed Elders. Must I use force to make you obey such a simple request? Leave!!!" They grumbled and left the room not even glancing at him. My sisters bowed and left telling me they would speak to me at dinner. When things settled down Ling buried her head in Sakura neck and Eriol's eyes saddened.

"So this is the family the Li Clan had been reduced to?" I looked at him curiously then nodded.

"Family? Well yes, if that's what you call this." I replied reluctant to call this hell hole of demons a family.

"But I wonder if what you want is the same as what I want," Sakura swalloed again and her blush darkened as she spoke her words of commitment as well.

"Its the same," She whispered. "Whatever you want I want it as well...I always will."
