Chapter 2: Side Effect
~*~Syaoran POV~*~
I could feel the pain every time I touch the red bump on my head. How can this be? How can this evil person actually be pure hearted? This can't be true. There must be a mistake. I pouted as I watched Sakura walked back and forth with the phone close to her ear.
"Why isn't dad picking up the phone?" I heard Sakura asked. When she looked slowly over to me, I quickly showed her my sweetest smile. She glared at me in a cute way. Why does she hate me? Or maybe she was just showing her love through hate. Yeah, dream on.
"What am I doing? He never answers the phone," said Sakura as he hung up the phone. I can tell her voice hold a sorrow tone. I wonder when was the last time she talked to her father. Then Sakura quickly looked toward my way with most serious glare. I show her my playful smile.
"Why won't you go back home?" she said in an unpleasant tone.
"I am home," I said as I sat in her comfy bed. Then Sakura gave me her death glare to get off the bed. When I was about to stand up, she stopped me.
"Wait! Before you get up, are you wearing anything?" she finally wondered. I thought she never ask.
"Nope, nothing," I said as I grinned. Sakura quickly grabbed a pair of short in her drawer and toss it at me. I put on the short without much thought into it. At least it fits.
"Can't you change back into a wolf," she suggested.
"Impossible," I simply said.
"Sakura!" I heard Touya nearby.
"Great! Touya is awake!" I said joyfully as I ran toward the door.
"WAIT!" hollered Sakura as she blocked my way. I can hear Touya footstep coming closer and closer.
"Sakura, is someone in there with you," asked Touya.
"I bet Touya will be surprised to see me," I said excitedly.
"Are you INSANE?! This mean trouble for me!" said Sakura as she quickly looked around the room.
"Trouble?" I retorted, clueless.
"If Touya find out that a guy is in my room and he is almost naked…." I can tell Sakura imagination went to the dark side as her cheeks turned bright pink.
"Sakura?" Touya voice was right behind the door.
"For now, let's keep this a secret from Touya," said Sakura.
"But…" Before I said another word, Sakura pushed me into her dark closet.
"Morning Touya," I heard Sakura say.
"I thought I heard a voice in there," said Touya.
"Yep, that voice was me," I thought as I stood in the dark closet.
"I'm going to be out tonight and I assume that you're going to Tomoyo's party?" I heard Touya said. A party? That's right, I did heard Sakura talking on the phone yesterday about a Christmas party. BAM! Ouch, did I bump into something. Man, I wish I could see in here.
"Hey, is there something in your closet?" said Touya as I heard his footstep coming toward me.
"It's probably Little Wolf," said Sakura quickly. Didn't I tell her not to call me that?
"No wonder your room smells like crap. You better take Little Wolf a bath," suggested Touya. What?! I smell like crap!
"Let's get out," said Sakura as her voice faded away. I slowly stepped out of the closet.
"I don't smell like crap," I said as I sniffed myself. Actually, I do smell a little funky.
RingRingRing
I heard Sakura's phone rang. I walked toward the phone and picked it up. I press a button that says 'talk.' I held the phone close to my ear.
"Hey Sakura! I hope you didn't forget about the Christmas party!" said a girl. She must be the girl Sakura talk to last night.
"Guess who is coming?" said the girl, excided. I stayed silent, hoping she will continue to talk.
"YUKITO!" the girl said it so loud, I had to back away from the phone. Who is Yukito?
"Aren't you exited? You better thank me later. It took me a long time to get your crush to join my Christmas party," she said. My eyes widen, surprised. Crush? Sakura had a crush?
"Okay, I have to go now. See you tonight!" she said as she hung up the phone.
"Sakura has a crush..." I said terrified. I dropped the phone and stood like a zombie. I never thought Sakura will have a crush. Then again, I should have expected it. Everything was going too smoothly after all.
"This is bad…." I mumbled.
"Here," said Sakura as she entered the room. Sakura toss some clothing to me.
"Wear this, it's Touya's old cloths," said Sakura.
"Awww, you didn't have to," I said, feeling touched that Sakura thought about me.
"It's better than not wearing anything," said Sakura as she refused to look at my half naked body.
"I'm going to my friend's Christmas party tonight so stay here until then," said Sakura. I watched Sakura grabbed a dress from her closet. She must be getting ready for the party. Sakura walked toward the bathroom. I quickly followed behind her. Before she went in, she turned around and looked at me.
"Why are you following me?" she questioned.
"I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice if we go to the party together," I suggested. She looked at me unpleasantly.
"I'm going to change so don't even think about coming in here," she warned as she walked inside the bathroom.
"Like I want to," I mumbled.
"What did you say?" I heard Sakura say. Damn, I thought she went in the bathroom.
"Nothing," I say, innocently. Sakura shut the door. I jumped into Sakura comfy bed. I lay down and stared at the white ceiling.
"So, Sakura crush is coming to the party," I said to myself softly. There was no way I'll just stay here quietly. Then I grinned lightly as I planned to follow her secretly to the party.
-Later-
Just as I planned, I followed Sakura to the party. Sakura was wearing a nice red dress with green designs. She didn't look so bad. But I'll admit she looked way cuter in her nightgown. I watched her stepped into a blue house. The house was much bigger than Sakura. It had a nice garden in the front. And above it, there was a balcony.
"Bingo," I said as I grinned. The plan was perfect. I will climb up tree that was next to the balcony and secretly enter the house. When the area was finally clear, I quickly ran toward the tree. I slowly reached to the first branch of the tree.
"AHHH!" I heard a clamorous voice above me. Then I noticed a guy, who had black hair with matching glasses, falling above me. CRASH! The guy landed on my back as I lay flat on the ground.
"Damn, I was pretty sure the plan will work," I heard him say.
"Do you mind?" I said as I feel the pain on my back.
"Oh, sorry dude!" he said as he got up. I got up and patted the dirt off my cloths. I guess he had the same plan as me. Bummer that means the plan didn't work. I observed him rubbed his sullen cheek.
"There got to be a way in," he said. Great, I need to go in before Sakura meet this Yukito dude. I started walking toward the back yard of the house. Plan B; sneak through the back door.
"Hey, where are you doing?" I heard him say as he walked beside me.
"To the back yard," I answered.
"I see! You're thinking about sneaking in the back door. Great idea!" he said. We walked together toward the back yard. Why was he following me?
"I'm Eriol by the way," he introduced.
"Syaoran," I introduced back.
"And you're sneaking in for….." I started to say.
"Got pay to," he said simply. He got pay to sneak in? Interesting.
"No one can sneak in Tomoyo house because her house is full of security. So, I made a bet that I could," he said. I slowly glanced at him. He was about an inch shorter than me.
"Do you think someone will be guarding the back door" I asked.
"Don't know," he said as he slowly walked away from me. I watched him walked behind the tree.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'll be right behind you," he said. What a weirdo. I continued to walk and then suddenly I heard an unpleasant noise. I looked ahead and noticed a big black dog, who was growling angrily at me.
Shit. The dog started to chase me and I ran for my life.
"Eriol help me!" I hollered as I ran rapidly across the yard.
"You're doing a great job Syaoran!" I heard him shout. Great job? I looked over to Eriol, who was still behind the tree. I bet he knew there was a dog. Then why didn't he tell me about it?!
"Eriol, this dog is going to tear me apart!" I hollered as I feel the tension from the angry dog. I looked over to Eriol, who was walking into the back door. Eriol, how can he do this to me? I feel like he used me as bait. Wait, I AM A BAIT!
"ERI-" I clumsily tripped over a rock and fell right toward the ground. I heard the dog rough breathing near me. Will this be the end?! I closed my eyes tightly, as I was prepared to be attack by the dog. Then I felt a wet liquid on my cheeks. I opened my eyes and saw the dog was licking all over my face.
"Hey boy…..er…..I mean girl," I said. This dog might sense me as a wolf. I pat the dog on the head and stood up from the ground. I walked toward the back door and slowly went inside the house. I saw people chatting, eating, and dancing. I looked around the room for Sakura. Then I saw her walking into a different room.
"Sakura!" I hollered, but she didn't hear me. I ran toward the crowd and straight to the room Sakura went in. I got to stop her before…. Suddenly I felt hot and dizzy. I went into the room and saw Sakura walking toward a tall guy, who had silver hair and wore glasses. The heat was rushing threw my vein. I quickly went into the bathroom. I looked at my hands where little brown hair started to appear. Then I fell into the stiff ground.
"Aww man I don't feel well."
"Hey, is someone in here?" I heard a voice above me.
"How cute! It's a puppy!" someone hollered. A puppy? I looked at my hands which became a claw. NOOOOOO!
"Let me see," I heard another girl voice popped beside me. Then more girls started to surround me, petting me and holding me.
"How adorable, is it Tomoyo?" said another girl. I better get out of here. I quickly ran away from the mob of girls. I search around the room, looking for Sakura. Where did she go? She was right there a minute ago. Then I started running with my tiny feet around the huge room. I'm lost!
"Hey there," I heard a familiar voice above me. Then someone held me up and set me on the table full of foods.
"I bet you're hungry." I looked up and noticed Eriol eating a piece of chicken.
"ERIOL, YOU BASTARD! How dare you use me as bait?!" I hollered.
"Ah, I see you want a piece of chicken too," he said as he handed me a big piece of chicken. I quickly jumped back into the floor and started stiffing around Eriol foot. Get this, you freak!
"What the? Hey what are you doing? EW! GROSS!" I heard Eriol hollered, terrified.
"There is the puppy!" I heard the mob of girls shouted. Shit, I better find Sakura.
I started running around the room again. Where can she be?
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm sure you'll meet him again," said a feminine voice. I saw Sakura at the corner of the room.
"SAKURA!" Iyelled in relief.I ran toward Sakura as fast as I can.
"Little wolf?" I heard her say. I quickly jumped into Sakura arms. Finally, I'm safe.
"Sakura, is that the wolf you got from your dad?" asked the girl, who had amethysts color eyes and deep purple hair. She must be Tomoyo.
"What happened? You're back into a wolf?" she whispered. Yeah, thanks to you I changed back.
"Well Sakura, it's a side effect. Every time you meet the person you really like, I turned into a wolf for 12 hours. It's against the rule that I'm telling you this information, but who cares. You can't even understand me right now," I saidto myself.
"How cute, I think he's talking to you," said Tomoyo.
"Hey Sakura, is that your puppy?" NOOOOO! Not the mob of girls!
"Sakura, hide me from them!" I hollered as I hide myself under Sakura arm.
"It's actually a baby wolf," said Sakura.
"I'm a mini wolf! Not a baby!" I stated.
"Aww a wolf! What's his name?" they asked.
"Well, I call him Little Wolf," said Sakura, who seemed to be enjoying herself showing me off to the crowd.
"It's SYAORAN!" I corrected.
~*~End of Syaoran POV~*~
~*~Normal POV~*~
Sakura finally came home from the party. Syaoran looked like he was ready for bed. Syaoran quickly followed Sakura into her bedroom. Sakura observed Syaoran running quickly toward her bed. Sakura walked over to Syaoran and grabbed his collar.
"What do you think you're doing, Little Wolf?" asked Sakura as she walked straight to the door.
"I don't know how you changed back, but I hope you stay this way. Of course, you won't change back into a human, because you'll NEVER sleep with me," stated Sakura as she placed Syaoran into the ground. Sakura then slammed the door in front of Syaoran's face.
"Gee this is only a side effect. I don't need to sleep with her to change back," said Syaoran as he walked away.
-Later-
Touya finally came back from the party. Touya looked around the house, looking for Sakura. Sakura usually watch movies as she waits for Touya, but somehow the house looked empty. He slowly walked upstairs and toward Sakura bedroom. He turned the door knob and opened the door.
"Sakura?" he called out quietly. Touya walked toward the bed and found Sakura sleeping peacefully. Before Touya walked out of the room, he noticed something moving under Sakura blanket. Touya slowly removed the blanket. Then he noticed Little Wolf was cuddling around Sakura.
"And I thought she hated animals," said Touya quietly. Touya left the room as he shut the door behind him.
