Chapter 2: Adjustment

Sakura's Dorm
Syaoran woke up once again in Sakura's dorm. This time, he found himself lying on a cushion. In front of him, he found a big TV set, complete with a DVD player and everything.

Cool! I haven't watched TV in forever! He thought. Syaoran jumped up to the TV set and reached his paw out to the power button. Almost there, just a little bit further. He tapped the button and the TV clicked on with a flash. Yes!

He wagged his tail in delight and sat in front of the TV, staring in wonder. The TV was showing some sort of soap opera. It was about a man named Rei who cheated on his wife and now she was kicking him out of the house.

Rei? Wasn't that what that girl had named him? What a name. Rei. 'My name's not Rei! It's Syaoran!' he wanted to tell her. But that was impossible in his dog form. I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

The noise from the TV had awoken Sakura. She came out of her room with messy hair and her pajamas on.

"Whoa! Rei! You turned on the TV? You're such a smart little puppy!" she cooed. Little did she know that he was very familiar with many human devices. He smiled and gave her a friendly bark. Sakura went to go get the ham out of the refrigerator again. She took a few slices out and set them down in front of him, along with a dish of water.

He wolfed down the ham and drank the water. Sakura watched him while he ate. What a cute puppy he was! She was very lucky to have found a nice dog like him. Sakura glanced at the clock and saw that it was 8:00 AM.

"Hoe! I'm going to be late! Thanks for waking me up, Rei!" Sakura said. She hurried back to her room to pack her books and work. At this moment, Syaoran just realized he still didn't know the girl's name yet. He trotted into her room looking for her. He could make out her name on one of her binders. Sa-ku-ra. Sakura! Her name was Sakura!

Sakura quickly shoved all her books and binders into her backpack and sped toward the door and turned off the TV. She noticed the puppy following her.

"Sorry, Rei. I have to go to college now. But I'll see you in the afternoon around 2 when I get back home. There's some ham and water by the couch if you get hungry. Bye!" She said as she left.

She's gone now. So I guess this means..I have the whole place to myself! Syaoran thought happily. What am I going to do all day? Oh well. I'll just watch TV.

So he tapped the power button again and sat in front of the TV.

In Class
The professor, Terada-sensei, was droning away about something. Sakura wasn't really paying attention because she was too busy thinking about the puppy.

Maybe I should buy some dog food for him? And some toys. Okay, I'll stop by the mall on the way home. She thought. I'll ask Tomoyo-chan to come with me, too. Tomoyo loved going with Sakura to the mall and dressing her up in all sorts of outfits.

Eventually, Terada-sensei stopped talking and started handing out the assignment. She quickly grabbed it as the bell rang and hurried out the door. Sakura walked out the building and met up with Tomoyo near the lunch area.

"Hello Sakura-chan!"

"Hello Tomoyo-chan! Hey, do you want to go to the mall with me after classes are over? I need to get some stuff."

Stars appeared in Tomoyo's eyes. "Of course! We can try on lots of new outfits on you and I can film you!" She gushed. "What kind of stuff do you need to get Sakura-chan?"

"Oh I found a puppy near my dorm yesterday. I need to get him some food and toys and stuff." She said. "He's very cute!"

"Really? Can I see him sometime?"

"Sure! Actually I can show him to you today, if you'd like."

"Of course I'd like to! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Sakura smiled. "Hey Tomoyo-chan? Have you ever had any pets?"

"Nope. Why?" Tomoyo asked.

Sakura frowned a bit. "Well I haven't either, so I'm not exactly sure how to take care of a dog."

"Don't worry. You'll figure it out." She reassured Sakura. "You'll just need to adjust a bit."

"Thanks. You're probably right. Everything will okay." Sakura said as she shook away all her doubts.

A/N: Now that school's out (for me anyway) I'll be able to update more. Yay!
