Sakura Golden Wolfs' Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa! Waz up? I'm getting ready to catch that pesky rodent, Touya Kinomoto.
(SGW straps on her goggles, and snaps off a reed. Diving into the water, she beckons the underwater camera crew to follow her.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Brrrble grble drrrrbbbbllee. (The last sighting of Touya was on the water's edge.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: ggaaarrrrgglllleee gggglllleeee! (Hah hah! I just realized the irony of that statement! Hee Hee!)
(SGW stops at a bank, and pulls out a pencil. Drawing a door, she swims through and wrings out her hair.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Now, we're right under Touya Kinomoto. I'm drawing a trap under him, and then I'm going to drop the bottom right from under him! HAH HAH HAH! HAHAHAHAHA!
(SGW produces a saw and starts whirling around the room.)

Chapter 18:
Syaoran's POV:
Handing the six of us towels, Keroberos shook his fur. Standing by Yue, Eriol asked,
"Yue, where have you been? What have you been doing?"
"I'll let Yukito talk."
His wings covered him for a second, and he detransformed into his false form. Smiling at us, Yukito sat on a stool and motioned to a couch.
"Sit. Sorry about Yue. He's not one for talking."
"But aren't you the same?"
"Well, yes, and no. We are the same, yet we are different. We have been living here for a long time."
Cringing, Yukito frowned.
"It seems Yue doesn't want me talking to much. We have been hiding here, waiting."
Drying her hair, Tomoyo-chan asked,
"Waiting for what?"
Smiling, Yukito winked.
"Can't tell, Are you hungry?"
Nodding, I realized it was past lunch time.
"Hai, we are. But how's Sakura?"
Looking over at her, he half-smiled.
"She certainly took a pounding, didn't she? She should be all right. Besides a broken arm, she's also got a lot of bruises and burns to deal with. How would you all like some soup?"
"Hai, onegai."
Eriol's POV:
Handing us each a bowl of noodle soup, Yukito placed a hand on Sakura- chan's forehead. Frowning, he crossed the room and wet a rag. Placing it on her forehead, Yukito continued frowning.
"How did she get a fever so quickly? She was fine a moment ago. What do you think Yue?"
How amusing, he was talking to his other half. Pausing, he seemed to be listening.
"Yes, that IS a possibility."
Watching him, the others smiled, interested in the conversation.
"Yukito? What's going on?"
"Yue, what did you call him- OH! Sakura's got a high fever. Very suddenly. Yue thinks that she got it from Lei."
Wincing, he muttered,
"Keroberos calls her Sakura. She probably wants us to call her that too."
Turning to us, he said,
"You can explore and lay claim to your rooms. Mine's the last one on the right."
Tomoyo's POV:
Setting the bowls in the basin, Syaoran-kun looked up.
"Eriol, you and Tomoyo-chan can arrange rooms. I'm staying with Sakura."
Nodding, I pulled Eriol along after me.
"Come on, Eriol! Sooner we do this, the sooner we can get back!"
Pulling him down the hall, I opened a door. There was a dresser and two beds.
"Looks like they were expecting us."
In the next room were three beds.
"Tomoyo, how about you and Nakuru take the three-bed room, and my descendant and I will take this room?"
"Hai, fine."
Shutting the doors, we went back to the living room.
Syaoran's POV:
As they left, Nakuru looked at Yukito.
"Yukito, where have you been? What happened?"
Sadly, Yukito managed a half-smile.
"When destiny unfolds."
Ignoring them now, I placed a hand on Sakura's cheek. It felt like fire.
"Kami-sama!"
Withdrawing my hand, I examined her. Her arm was wrapped up, her cheeks were flushed, and her normally tidy hair was unruly. Looking nervously at Yukito, I glanced back at Sakura.
"Yukito-san, shouldn't we do something about Sakura's fever?"
Shaking his head sadly, he said,
"It's Yukito. No, there's nothing we can do. I'm afraid for Sakura. There is but one man… He's the only one… I'm afraid that in her unconsciousness, she is having dreams of the magical sense. And who knows what does on in one's mind?"
Silent, I took Sakura's good hand.
"Come on Sakura. Be all right. Be all right for me."
Coming over, Keroberos rubbed his face in her arm.
"Of course she'll be fine. She wouldn't cop out on us."
Softly, to myself, I whispered,
"What if it's not her choice?"
Nakuru's POV:
Master and Tomoyo-chan came back and looked at us all.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. Nothing new."
Not believing it, they came and sat. Looking at us absently, Yukito gave us things to do.
"Tomoyo-chan, Eriol-kun, could you please bring more water in? The well's in the back. Nakuru, Kero, Spinel, could you take care of the horses? I- I'll do doing the dishes."
Leaving the room, we heard the clink off dishes. Looking at each other, we shrugged and hot up.
"All right, then, might as well."
Leaving the house, I found the horses bunched under a tree. It had stopped raining, but Kero and Spinel hovered under the eves. Take care of the horses? What did he mean by that? Where was a stable? Looking around, I saw a shanty big enough to hold all five horses. Opening the door, I got them in and took off their saddles and things, placing them on the ground by them. Rubbing them down, I talked nonsense to them.
"You're a good horse, aren't you? Yes you are."
Eriol's POV:
Walking with Tomoyo to the well, I found the bucket.
"Eriol, what were they talking about? What do dreams have to do with anything?"
Sighing, I felt the bucket hit bottom.
"We have a theory that Lei's attacks had some certain magic in them. They could be screwing with her mind, killing us, even killing HER. And there's no way to wake her up, or stop the dreams. All we can do is wait for her to wake up on her own."
"Oh…"
Dragging the bucket out of the well, she handed me another one. Hooking it to the rope, I dropped it into the well. Pulling it up, I noticed something glinting in the bucket. Rolling up my sleeve, I plunged my hand into the ice cold water.
"Eriol, what do you have?"
Shaking my arm, I showed her what I'd found.
"It's a carving, that's strange."
"It's more than that…. It's the mark of Midori Ryoko,…. The green dragon. She… holds the realm of dreams…. Sakura-chan's in trouble…."
The carving I was holding had the figure of a dragon, with green scales and razor sharp claws.
"Eriol, do you suppose that we should tell the others?"
Breathing deeply, I picked up a bucket.
"Syaoran's not going to be happy…."
Syaoran's POV:
Funny how Yukito had given everyone ELSE something to do. It left me a few minutes with my Sakura. I sat there wishing she would open her eyes, just so I could see the emeralds that were hidden…. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I accidentally knocked Sakura's satchel over, and her things fell out. Picking them up, I noticed what some of them were. Among other things, she had a feather, a flower, and a stone figure. Closing the clasp, I wondered what they were, and where she had gotten some of them.
************************************************************************
Pushing the door open, Eriol and Tomoyo-chan followed the guardians in.
"It's not like you were helping, Kero."
"Hey, I was holding the rope for you."
"No you weren't! That was Suppi!"
"Oh well. I probably would have scared the horses anyway."
"Kero, can't you transform into your, er, false form?"
Shaking his shaggy head, he said,
"I don't think so. I think I'm stuck like this until Sakura-chan wakes up."
"Then why can Yue transform?"
"I think that's because he's always been able to. Kero is just learning to function under his new Mistress' power. Yukito? Could you come here? I need to show you all something."
Coming out of the kitchen, Yukito sat down.
"What is it, Eriol-sama?"
Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a dragon carving. Instantly, the guardians went stiff.
"What? What is it?"
"It's the mark of Midori Ryoko, holder of the realm of reams. There's no hope of reviving Sakura ourselves. She wakes up when Midori Ryoko allows her to."
Brushing my bangs out of my face, I sighed heavily.
"That bad, huh? Figures. It's just all our luck."
Looking around, I could see how distraught they all were.
"It'll be all right. She's strong. She'll come back to us."
