Chapter Three: Exploring

"My cousin, I think we're lost." Eriol mewed as he walked beside the irritated teen.

Eriol and Syaoran left the castle two days now, brought everything they need, but already they got lost in an ample forest which has to be pitch dark.

"Ok, I'll finally admit it, we're lost." Syaoran confess as he sat on a boulder near an oak tree.

Eriol curled up into a ball when he found a perfect place to rest.

"Well, then it's a right time to rest and store energy for tomorrow so good night..." Eriol mewed and fell asleep.

Syaoran was wide awakened and couldn't go to sleep he went exploring.

He was probably a mile away from camp now and yet he still explored.

Then he saw steam, he ran where the steam had come from and when he reach tohisdestination.

A hot spring was there, steaming away.

"Hm...A hot spring eh, I hope Eriol doesn't mind if I go in it a bit." he thought as he stripped off his top uniform.

He sat in and the warm tension came upon him, he never felt this relaxed in days.

Just then, he heard so voices over the other side of the hot spring which was behind some boulders and curiously he peek through the boulders.

Two girls were standing there chatting about something that he couldn't hear.

He shrugged and turned his head back to relaxing.

"So, you think that you can just left me back at camp so you can go to a hot spring eh?" a voice said overhead.

Syaoran suddenly look up as a cat jumped up and dive into the hot spring.

"Eriol followed me didn't he..." he thought furiously as Eriol popped right back up in his human form.

"So answer my question why?" Eriol asked him again.

"Hey, look I just found ok!" Syaoran said as lean on the boulder.

He took look between the rocks again and saw one of the girls but the other wasn't there anymore and a...crystal-colored wolf...

The wolf was seems to be inside the hot spring relaxing while the other girl went in as well and walk over to the wolf.

"The wolf from my dream...why is it doing here..?" he thought as he was about to climb over the boulders and asked.

But Eriol pulled him back in the hot spring.

"Um...my friend...what are you doing peeking into a women bath...?" he asked while he smirked.

"YOU'RE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA!" Syaoran yelled at him which caused Eriol to hide into the water.

"Hey, who or what voice was that?" a voice said from the other side.

Syaoran had anxiety allover his face as he dragged Eriol out of the hot water and hid in some bushes.

"Dammit, Eriol, you just have to..." Syaoran cursed.

Eriol was muffled up by Syaoran's hands and then one of the girls peer over the other side as she climb up the boulder.

She had long raven-colored hair and her eyes were colors of a precious amethyst jewel and was wearing a towel over her body.

"Nope, nothing, I probably just imagined it Sakura." the girl said as she jumped down into the hot spring water.

Syaoran sighed while he unmuffled Eriol.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Eriol asked fiercely.

"Sorry, but you kept on yammering and made me furious..!"

"Whatever, Syaoran, but still that girl was quite pretty." Eriol said swapping his moods to a smiley one.

Syaoran didn't pay attention one bit and took his clothes and walked back to the camp.

While Eriol followed him as well in his feline form.

But still something still lingered in Syaoran's mind.

"Who is that wolf that keeps appearing in dreams..."
