~~WOLF SONG Chapter II~~
"I will have my revenge...I will!..." The dark haired youth swore. Sakura instantly recognized him from her dreams before. Instead of the castle, he was wandering through the streets, ignoring the fact that it was dark and possibly dangerous. The young man turned a corner, when suddenly a shadowy form appeared in front of him.
"You will make a tasty snack." the shadowy figure chuckled, approaching the young man.
The young man's face darkened and his hands suddenly started to glow a bright green. "Not now Leech! I have more important things to do than smear the ground with pieces of you rotting hide!" the man snarled.
The shadowy figure took a step back in surprise. "A sorcerer? Ah, you must be the exiled one. I have been told there was an exiled sorcerer roaming the area."
"I have my revenge to plot, so if you wish to stay in one piece, then out of my way!" the young man snarled and the figure stepped aside, allowing the young man to pass. Sakura gasped as the shadow stepped into the torchlight to reveal a large man with long white hair tied back at the nape of his neck. Though the man's hair was white, he only looked to be in his twenties or thirties.The large man's complextion was very pale and his thick arms crossed over his black clad chest as he watched the young man pass him.
"Tis a shame you will never carry out your revenge against those that exiled you." the large man stated, and the other turned on his heel and glared at him.
"Are you threatening me Leech!?" he snarled once more.
The large man shook his head. "I am not. I am merely stating a fact. Mortals eventually grow old and die. You will never gain the power for your revenge before your death."
The young man looked down at his feet, then glared back up at the large man. "Do you have a better solution?"
"I do." The large man nodded, smiling and revealing large canines. "Become one of the Children of the Night. An immortal. A loyal sorcerer would be a great asset to my court."
The young man snorted. "Ah, so you are a Leech Lord are you? And if I join this court of yours I will be able to extract my revenge?" The large man nodded in answer. "Very well Leech Lord, I agree to this. Betray me, and I will scatter your ashes to the four winds." the youth warned. The man simply nodded and leaned down towards the young man's exposed neck.
Sakura jolted awake and shivered at the memory of her dream. Looking over at her alarm clock, she groaned at seeing that it was only four in the morning. Climbing out of bed, she cursed to herself as she made her way to the kitchen for a drink. She'd have to talk to Eriol in the morning about her wierd dreams.
~**~**~**~**~**~
Three figures stood on top of a large building overlooking the city of Tomoeda. Only one of the figures even resembled a human. The other two, only stood upright like humans. A man with wildly spiked green and black hair stood with what resembled a fox and a bear, but their front paws were instead hands and while the fox person stood about as tall as a normal man, the bear looked to nearly double the fox's heigth. Both the fox and the bear tried to stand as far away as they could from the other man.
The man smirked, revealing his large canines. "Ivan, you are to examine the north side of town. Klara, the south. Meet with me here at midnight tomorrow and tell me what you found." Both animals gave an irritated growl, but took off into the city. The man smirked and held up a picture of an eleven year old girl with short auburn hair and bright green eyes. It was obvious the picture was a little old and a name and address were printed on the back in sloppy japanese. "Soon we'll have you, stupid mutt." the man growled and lept of the top of the building to find a place to stay for the night.
~**~**~**~**~**~
"Eriol, we need to talk." Sakura said, sitting down in front of the smiling boy during lunch. Eriol raised a questioning brow at that.
Tomoyo looked worried from her place beside Eriol. "Is it about those odd dreams?" Sakura simply nodded.
"What dreams?" Syaoran asked gruffly as he sat beside Sakura. He wasn't having a good day, dealing with some boys who wanted to pick a fight with him over Sakura without killing them.
Sakura took his hand sympathetically, then focused back on Eriol. "For awhile now, I've been having really weird dreams. Last night, it got weirder."
"What did you dream about Sakura?" Eriol asked.
"An ancient castle and and some guy who did something bad I think." She said thoughtfully. "He got exiled or something from this group of people, I think they knew magic, and I've been having this same dream or one similar to it for awhile now. Last night, the dream changed. It was that guy who was exiled, and he was swearing revenge and then this really creepy guy appeared out of no where. The creepy guy did something threatening and the exiled guy got mad and magic flowed around his hands. That's when the creepy guy backed off and made some kind of deal with the exiled guy. Then....I think they were making out or something." Sakura said in confusion with a blush on her cheeks.
The others chuckled a little at this, but they all went into deep thought about what the dreams could mean, until they were interrupted by a hand slamming on the table. The hand belonged to a large boy from the football team and a few of his teammates stood behind him. Syaoran twitched and unsucessfully stifled a growl. Eriol sighed. "Hey China boy!"
Syaoran gave a vicious snarl and stood up glaring at the boys. "What the hell do I have to do to get some peace around here!?! Kick everyone's ass!?!?!"
Sakura quickly put a hand on Syaoran's arm to stop his advance on the surprised boys. "Syaoran, no. You don't need to get in trouble." She then glared at the boys. "Leave him alone! You should be ashamed of yourself for picking on him just because he's different!" She started and continued to lecture them, not giving them a chance to defend themselves. Eriol and Tomoyo laughed while Syaoran sighed and sat back down.
When Sakura finally let the boys go she sat down, still angry, but grabbed Syaoran's hand and gave it a little squeeze. "Why don't we talk about this after school?" Tomoyo suggested and everyone quickly agreed.
~**~**~**~**~**~
The schools were just letting out when a slightly dirty redheaded girl wandered by. She was looking depressed and her hands were stuffed in the pockets of some very baggy and ragged jeans. "How the hell am I supposed to find some damn kid in a mess like this!" she growled, wrinkling her nose. "Damn leeches can't find anything on their own. They just HAVE to make US do it." She complained some more.
She just happened to look up when a girl laughed and spotted a group of students, two boys and two girls, but one boy and girl was familiar. Quickly she dug through her pockets, pulling out a copy of the photo of the girl and comparing it to the girl she saw. She dug some more and pulled out another copy of a boy's picture and compaired it to the boy walking beside the girl. "Well I'll be damned." she said, grinning ferally and then stuffed them back into her pockets as she tried to follow them.
Unfortunately for her, as she tried to follow, the boy she was looking for stiffened and she barely hid in time to miss being spotted by narrowed amber eyes. The pretty auburn haired girl asked the boy something, and he shook his head, scanning around once more, then shook it again and they continued walking down the street. She cursed and decided it would be best to go find her partner and try to follow their trail later.
When she found him, he wasn't too happy. "Klara, why the hell are you over here? You need to be watching out for that cub from your side!" the man growled.
The redhead grinned and rocked back on her heels. "Not when I already found him Ivan. Come on! We have to follow his trail quickly before it is covered up!" Sighing heavily, the man called Ivan allowed himself to be dragged to where the boy was spotted. Ivan stood around glaring at anyone who was staring at them while Klara knelt down and tried to sniff around without looking like she was sniffing around. Suddenly the Klara stiffened and grinned. "They went this way! come on!" She said, bounding off to follow hte trail.
~**~**~**~**~**~
Syaoran stiffened when they reached the entrance to the building where he reluctantly shared an apartment with Eriol. He had felt that they were being followed when they first left the school, but the feeling dissappeared when he turned to look. Now the feeling was doubled and something caught the attention of his nose. "Uh, Eriol, I forgot that we needed more noodles for supper tonight. I'll just run on down to the store and get them. Go ahead and take the girls inside and start talking without me. I won't be gone long."
Eriol looked puzzled for a moment, but then his eyes widened and he nodded. "Sure. Right this way ladies." He said, guiding them inside the building.
Sakura paused with a frown and looked back at a tense Syaoran. "Are you sure? Maybe I should come with you."
Syaoran quickly shook his head and gently pushed her on inside the building. "No, no I'll be fine. I'll be right back." He said before jogging back the way he came.
Sakura stood there for a moment, a worried look on her face, before she shot a smile at Eriol and Tomoyo. "Something's bothering him, so I'll go with him. Wait here for us ok?" She said before running after the amber eyed boy.
"No! Wait Sakura!" Eriol cried out in a near panic. Tomoyo narrowed her eyes. "Syaoran will be fine on his own." He shouted out to her, but she didn't listen and Eriol groaned.
"What are you hiding Eriol Hiiragizawa!" Tomoyo said sternly and Eriol gulped and tried to look like he wasn't about to have a panic attack.
~**~**~**~**~**~
A quick glance around told Syaoran that the alley he chose would be a safe place to confront the ones who were following him. A loud roar alerted him to the positoin of his first attacker and Syaoran shifted just as a huge manbear leapt down from the rooftops. A familiar feminine gasp was heard, but ignored as Syaoran, now a large black wolfman, snarled at the bear and slashed at him with sharp claws. He growled dangerously as the bearman's hands came down in a double handed hammer blow that would have knocked Syaoran sensless if he didn't leap back. With the brief opening, Syaoran swiftly darted in over the bears extended arms and dug his claws deep into the bears throat. The bear's eyes widened in shock as he tried to breath through the blood and the clawed hand and grasped at the black furred forearm weakly with his own hands. Dark brown eyes met gold, before the brown ones clouded over and the bear collapsed.
Sakura made a startled cry and Syaoran whirled around with a growl. A foxwoman was snarling at the shocked girl and had a clawed hand raised to strike. Syaoran snarled and lunged at the fox, his teeth clamping down on the raised arm as his claws cut deeply through the surprised fox's back. Syaoran shook his head viciously, nearly tearing the fox's arm off before the fox was able to wrench it away. The fox's eyes fell onto her companion's dead body, then she ran as quickly as she could. Syaoran would have followed, if Sakura hadn't gave off a little whimper right before she collapsed. He caught her before she hit the ground and gave a panic filled wimper as he desperately looked around to see if anyone else was around.
Carefully, he picked her up in his arms and shifted again, turning back into his human form. He wasn't pleased with the fact that he had ripped his clothes again, but he would worry about it later. Right now, he had to get the girl in his arms back to his apartment. "This is NOT how I wanted her to find out," He sighed, frowning at the blood he had smeared all over her.
