~Chapter 3: Summer Camp's Begining~

Sakura eagerly rushed out of her house, after saying goodbye to her father. Touya had moved out a few years ago.

She had everything she needed for camp. Needless to say, she was excited. "I love camping!" She exclaimed, as she rollerbladed to the elementry school. That is where the bus was going to pick up these ninth graders. Sakura deeply inhaled the sents of summer. Flowers in bloom, fresh air....all so breathtaking.

She reached the meeting place (you know: the elementary school -_- don't ask why..), and stoped quickly in surprise. She noticed that two of the conculers were none other than, Touya and Yukito.

Sakura skated over to Touya. "Oni-chan! What are you doing here?!"

Touya smirked at her. "Volunteering during summer break. I have to do something while I don't have classes, kaiju."

Sakura developed a huge angry mark, and attempted to stomp her brother's foot, but he pulled it away in time.

"Ohayo Sakura-chan," Yukito said in that cute voice of his.

Sakura turned to look behind her where Yukito was standing. "Ohayo Yukito-san!" Luckly, she had long since gotten over her crush on him.

"You should get on the bus before it leaves, kaiju," Touya called from the bus.

"HOE?!" Sakura shouted and ran for the bus, with Yukito right behind her.

Sakura looked around for an empty seat. Unfortunatly, Tomoyo hadn't been able to come. Sakura noticed that Syaoran was sitting alone and went over to sit by him.

Touya noticed, and sent Syaoran a death glare, which Syaoran didn't notice.

"Ummm, ohayo, Li-kun," Sakura greeted.

"Ohayo," he answered absentmindedly.

"Is it okay if I sit here?"

Syaoran nodded and Sakura sat down. The bus began to move out. Touya continued to glare at the boy his sister was sitting next to.

Yukito smiled at Touya. "Is it your goal to drive off anyone that she becomes interested in or anyone that becomes interested in her?" he asked innocently while laughing.

Touya turned his gaze onto Yukito. It softened. "Shut up," he said in a flat voice.

Yukito began to laugh. "You really do have a 'sister complex'," Yukito said in between laughs.

"Shut up," Touya repeated again.

Syaoran stared out the window as scenery flew by. Sakura was sitting next to him. So close...her sent filled his nostrils. It was intoxicating. He sensed something inside of her. A warm light, that beckoned him.

"Li-kun...you came from Hong-Kong right?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran turned his gaze away from the window. "Yeah."

"Did anyone come with you?"

Syaoran looked away again. "No. I came by myself."

Sakura gave him a sorowful look. "So you're all alone all the time? I don't see how you can stand it..."

He stared at her in surprise, but he quickly made his face blank. "I live alone by my choice."

"But why?" Sakura pressed.

Syaoran kept a tight reign on his temper. "So I can't hurt anyone." That was all he said and turned his head back to the window.

Sakura stared at the side of his face. Li-kun...why is he so..disturbed?

Within an hour, they had arrived at the campsite in the middle of a forest. Everyone filed out of the bus. Syaoran was the last off, Sakura noticed. He looked deep in thought.

"Okay everyone, you are all going to be paired off into groups of two! We will draw two names from a hat, and the two people will be paired up for the trip. Meaning that they will be sharing a tent, hiking together, and competeing in various activities together. This is for safety purposes and to learn to work together with other people your age," Yukito stated cheerfuly into a megaphone.

Touya held up a baseball hat with little strips of paper with everyone's names who were in the camp on it. He drew two names.

"Chiharu and Yamazaki!" Touya called.

Another draw. "Naoko and Rika!"

And on it went. At the fourth draw... "Li Syaoran and Sakura!" Touya glared at the peice of paper with Syaoran's name neatly written on it. "That gaki with my little sister," he growled.

Everyone was paired up within ten minuets. They were all with their partners.

"Okay, lets go to the campsite!" Yukito hollered enthusiastically.

Everyone followed him. Touya took up the back ot make sure that everyone stayed with them. Syaoran was in the back too with Sakura. Touya glared at the back of his head.

Syaoran felt the heated gaze, but ignored it. He was lost in thought anyways. The heat from it increased. Syaoran now felt vaugly annoyed.

"Why is it that you have to glare at me like that?" Syaoran asked in a quiet voice, without turning around.

Touya was taken aback for a moment. How did that gaki know that I was glaring at him?! "I am protective of my little sister, that is why," he answered.

Syaoran sighed. "That is no reason w to glare at someone like that," he retorted, still without turning around.

It is like this kid has eyes in the back of his head! I won't let him get to me though! "Just keep walking, gaki."

Anger bubbled in Syaoran. I will not lose my temper...I will not lose my temper... he thought over and over in his mind. It wasn't working very well. Luckly, Sakura had heard Touya messing with Syaoran and came to his defence.

"Oni-chan! You shouldn't be mean to people like that!" She scolded, while walking backwards, so she could she Touya's face. "He is my friend and I don't want you to be rude to him! Just because he is paired with me and was talking to me, doesn't mean that you can do that!"

Touya looked taken aback. "Kaiju," he muttered.

Syaoran turned around and stopped. Sakura did the same and so did Touya.

"Keep walking, or we'll lose the group," Touya stated.

Syaoran glared at him. "You shouldn't call your little sister a monster...especially when she isn't. She is a nice person, who understands people, and as a matter of fact, is the only thing keeping me from losing my temper to a dangerous point," Syaoran snarled.

After that, he turned and ran back to the group that was still walking on, leaving a shocked Sakura and Touya in his wake.

"Li-kun..." Sakura smiled as she ran after him. He hasn't even said my name, but he cares...he..stood up for me. With that thought, Sakura blushed slightly. I feel like I have known him for a long time...but I haven't known him that long...why does he make me feel this way? Sakura didn't realize it, but she was falling in love with the boy who had saved her life once in the rain.

And Syaoran was falling in love with her too. The little cherry blossom of light, and the small wolf of darkness.

Syaoran stood outside of the tent he now shared with Sakura. It was long past lights out. It was about midnight. The moon was full, and the air was warm. Sakura had fallen asleep long ago. Syaoran couldn't sleep. He knew what awaited him in his dreams. Memories of things he had ended up doing harm to.

Within himself, he felt the darkness. Stronger than before. The power of the moon was heightening its strenghth. Syaoran shivered, despite the warm, humid air.

"Darkness..." he whispered.
