Note: Eriol is not Clow reeds reincarnation. But he does use magic and is a wizard. Tomoyo can use magic but only very simple spells. There are no cards.

The curse

"Syaoran."

Sharpfang had growled that name with venom. Sakura got the message -though she was a bit oblivious most of the time- they were definitely not on good terms. She backed away trembling at the aura sparks the two had conjured upon meeting.

"What are you doing here Sharpfang?"

"Why I was merely looking for you when I stumbled upon this extravagant creature." He stared seductively into her eyes as she blushed underneath her snowy coat.

"She won't fall for your games, game poop. (Pretty rude if you're a wolf –game meaning the kind that you hunt-)

"Why you arrogant little pup! I'll show you!" He bared his teeth his eyes grew colder and harder. His claws extended his smile disintegrated into a fierce snarl.

"I may be arrogant but you do know that your battle face scares the living daylights out of people." He lifted a paw and smirked at a white wolf being comforted by a violet haired girl.

"Humph! We will meet again and next time I shall be the victor and claim the female's heart! I shall be freed of this curse and you will be doomed to perish in your own castle!" He spat at Syaoran lowering his voice so that it could not reach Sakura's sensitive ears.

Syaoran grinned. "Be seeing you."

Sharpfang strode past, purposely smashing his shoulder against Syaoran's. Syaoran waited patiently till his scent had disappeared. Then he scampered back to Tomoyo, Sakura and Eriol.

"Take her back to the cottage and look after her." Syaoran ordered Tomoyo.

"Aren't you going to speak to her?" Tomoyo inquired.

"No." He replied harshly. Sakura was feeling a bit small at the moment because nobody was taking notice of her.

"Well at least visit her." Tomoyo walked off with Sakura at her side before he could even open his trap.

"You do know my cute little cousin that we do not have much time left."

"Of course I do!"

"Then you will do well to be nicer to her."

"This is all your fault." He glared at Eriol.

"That may be so but at least she is a beautiful jewel. You would have probably murdered me or had Kentucky fried Eriol for breakfast if she was monstrous."

"Yes and no. You would be vile."

"Just remember that the curse is looming over us once we're dead she'll be free or once we're free she will be as well and Sharpfang will no longer exist."

"I personally prefer the second option."

"Good I'd hate to send my descendent to an asylum." He transformed back to his handsome human counter part.

"If you weren't family I would have had your head by now."

"Thank goodness for that!"

10 years ago

"Syaoran! Look! I found a spell that will enable us to create a new world!" Eriol waved at him from across the courtyard where Syaoran was training with his sword and wearing his ceremonial clothes.

"Look I have absolutely no interest in those sort of things." Syaoran told him. Eriol smirked he knew this was predictable.

"But this new world would enable you to escape from your training…" He pointed to the security cameras.

"Okay I'm in what do I have to do?" Eriol sighed knowing Syaoran can't resist because of his pride.

"You couldn't its much to difficult for you. After all your only seven."

"Well… You're only eight! Plus your birth day was only a few months ago!"

"Six months and seventeen days to be exact!" he grinned.

"You and your mathematics… You barely ever train with me."

"Getting back to the subject my spell would put the master of this castle in charge of the new world but of course if anything went wrong… The one in charge would of course bear the consequences." He told Syaoran gravely.

"When do we start?"

End of flash back.

"Can't let Hiirigazawa take all the blame after all I cooperated with him." Syaoran sighed.
