Lost Stray Lover

Full Summary: Sakura comes home one day, and to her surprise finds a loveable stray dog. This stray is actually Syaoran under a curse, but Sakura doesn't know this. She takes him in and takes care of him. Syaoran eventually falls in love with her but she doesn't even know who he is. Will he be able to break the curse to tell her how he feels?

A/N: Sorry, I'm a few days late. Went on a last minute trip to Six Flags in Atlanta so I couldn't write anything.

Chapter 7: Lost in Tokyo, Part 2

Where am I? Syaoran thought worriedly. He had been wandering around Tokyo for what seemed like hours. If only he had paid attention in high school geography, then perhaps he would've known that Tokyo was a huge city with more than 26 million people.

The surroundings were not at all familiar. Being from a small town like Tomoeda, Syaoran wasn't used to the big city scene. There were buildings towering him, trash littered all over the streets, cars speeding by every second, it was enough to scare a little puppy lost on the streets.

ARGH! How the heck am I going to get back to Sakura's dorm? He thought. If he didn't find his way back, he'd have to spend the rest of his life as a dog scrounging around dumpsters, looking for scraps of meat, like before Sakura found him. Syaoran winced at the thought. Those months were horrible.

When Sakura had found him, everything changed. He had a home with heating and comfortable furniture and people to play with. Even if it was a little boring when Sakura was gone, at least it was better than sleeping on playground slides and eating out of ripped trash bags. God, he missed her so much. What if he never saw her again? He whimpered.

At that second, a few raindrops fell onto Syaoran's head. This got his attention. He looked up at the sky and saw dark gray clouds rumbling. Great! Just great. And I thought this couldn't get any worse, thought Syaoran sarcastically.

He searched around for a place to stay while it poured. Nearby was a large tree. Syaoran ran over to the tree and sat under it for the remainder of the storm.

Eventually, the rhythmic pounding of the rain splashing onto the ground began lulling him to sleep. As his eyes slowly closed he thought once again of Sakura. I hope I make it back to her, he thought as he drifted off to sleep.
The bell rang loudly signaling the end of class. Students started packing up their belongings and leaving. In the back corner of the classroom Sakura and Tomoyo were talking and packing.

"It's about time for lunch, Tomoyo-chan. Want to come over to my house to eat? I'll cook for you!" offered Sakura.

"Of course! Then I can see Rei! He's so cute!" Tomoyo replied with stars in her eyes. "And you can try on those outfits I bought the other day Ohohoho!"

"Ha ha ok, Tomoyo," Sakura said with a sweat drop.

They walked out of the building to Sakura's car and got in it. As Sakura was driving they chatted.

"So what would you like to eat for lunch?" asked Sakura.

"Whatever you cook is fine with me. I know anything you cook will be delicious, Sakura-chan!" said Tomoyo with a smile.

"Thanks!"

Sakura drove for a few minutes until they arrived at her dorm. Sakura got out of the car slowly with a small frown on her face.

"What's wrong?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well..it's probably nothing but..Rei usually barks really loudly when he hears the car pull up."

"You're worried he might be gone?"

"Maybe.."

"There's only one way to find out. Let's go inside."

Sakura nodded and took her keys out of her pocket. She stuck a key into the door's lock and turned. A loud click was heard. She turned the knob and pushed open the door.

"Rei? Are you here? I'm home," said Sakura. The worry grew in her when there was no answer. "Rei? Come out, boy!"

Again, there was no answer. Only the echo of her words responded.

She and Tomoyo started checking every room of her dorm in an attempt to find Rei. When they came to Sakura's bedroom, Sakura went over to the window.

"Tomoyo, the window wasn't this wide when I opened it this morning!" Sakura exclaimed. "I think Rei made it bigger when he squeezed through!"

"You really think Rei ran away?"

"Where else could he be?" Sakura said frantically.

"Well then, let's go look for him!"

Sakura blinked. "What?"

"Let's go look for him. You do want to find him, don't you?" asked Tomoyo.

"Of course!"

"Then let's go!" Tomoyo motioned towards the door with her arms.

"What about class?"

Tomoyo laughed. "Sakura-chan, you're not going to be able to concentrate in class anyway, knowing Rei is gone."

Sakura smiled. "You're right. I really miss him."

"Alright, where should we look first?"

"The animal shelter."

A/N: I was originally going to make Lost in Tokyo a 2 part thing but I decided I'm gonna make a 3rd part. So anyway, REVIEW! Even if you think my story sucks, I wanna hear it. Tell my why it's bad so I can make it better. And please, when reviewing, say whether you liked it or not and WHY. Especially WHY. A one-liner like "cool story" so not going to help an author improve.
