Chapter 8: I'm All Yours
While patiently waiting for Kaho to announce the winner, Sakura looked around for Syaoran. Then she noticed a small amber tail sticking out behind Eriol. Sakura rubbed her eyes just in case she was seeing stuff, but the tail was still behind Eriol.
"And the winner is…YOU!" said Kaho as she pointed at Tomoyo. When everyone looked over to Tomoyo, Eriol quickly kicked Syaoran into the water. Syaoran, who had no energy, just sank into the water.
"Oh wow, I'm the winner," said Tomoyo, not even believing it herself.
Eriol sighed in relief. "That was close. But who won?" wondered Eriol. Eriol noticed that everyone was focusing on Tomoyo.
"Tom, is it? I fell in love with your bravery when you risk your life to get help for the others!" said Kaho in delight.
Eriol sweat-dropped. "You're kidding me, right?"
Yamazaki, who was still on his knees, noticed clothing floating in the water. "Eriol look, there's cloths floating around," said Yamazaki as he pointed at the clothing.
"Oh crap! I forgot that Syaoran can't swim!" Eriol remind himself.
"What?! Syaoran swimming in there naked?!" asked Yamazaki, terrified. Yamazaki clamorous voice got Sakura's attention. Sakura looked over at Eriol and Yamazaki. Then she saw Little Wolf slowly walking out of the surface of the water.
"Little Wolf?" Sakura questioned softly. Little Wolf shook his body, letting the water out of his fur. Eriol bend down at Little Wolf.
"Hey there buddy, wasn't I clever or what? Inside the water there are no cameras and no one even saw you in your half form," stated Eriol, proudly.
Little Wolf gave Eriol his death glare. "You BASTARD! I ALMOST DROWN!" Little Wolf quickly bit Eriol on the leg.
"OW! What the heck are you doing to your savior?" said Eriol. Eriol shook his leg abruptly, trying to get Little Wolf off of him. Eriol grabbed Little Wolf and held him up high enough to look at his amber eyes.
"Look, I know you can't swim with two legs. But I thought you could at least swim if you had four," said Eriol. Little Wolf bit Eriol on the nose.
"OW! That's it! NO MORE MISTER NICE GUY!" hollered Eriol as his eyes were in rage. Before Eriol could throw Little Wolf into the water again, Sakura quickly snatched him away.
"What are you doing to him?" asked Sakura as she held Little Wolf in her arms.
"SAKURA!" cried out Little Wolf as he snuggled deeply into Sakura's chest. Sakura carried Little Wolf away.
Yamazaki bend beside Eriol and looked at him dully. "I never seen you act so serious toward a puppy," said Yamazaki.
"Oh, shut up," said Eriol, annoyed.
Sakura walked out of the building as she carried Little Wolf. As Little Wolf began to cuddle Sakura deeper into the chest, Sakura quickly held him high up.
"I don't mind holding you, but if you keep cuddling like that then I'm gonna toss you into the ocean and feed you to the shark," warned Sakura. Little Wolf gulped and stayed still as if he were a doll.
"Sakura!" yelled out Tomoyo as she ran over to Sakura.
"To-Tom!" Sakura yelled back, cautiously.
"It's ok Sakura, there's no one here except us," said Tomoyo as she took off her cap, letting her long raven hair fall down.
"TOMOYO?!" said Syaoran, shocked.
Sakura looked down at Little Wolf. "But still you never know someone might notice you," said Sakura as she glanced down at Little Wolf.
"I'm sorry Sakura! You're suppose to win this not me!" said Tomoyo, feeling guilty.
"Don't worry about. The money isn't a big deal. But are you sure it's okay for you to keep doing this? I mean, it's not safe," said Sakura, worried.
"Don't worry. I'm a pro at disguised. Beside the job sounds interesting," said Tomoyo
"What's the job?" wondered Sakura
Tomoyo leaned closely to Sakura. "It's a top secret, but I'll tell you. I'm going to be a secret agent!" Tomoyo said excitedly.
"A secret agent?!" retorted Sakura as join the excitement.
Tomoyo nodded. "Yep!"
"That's nice Tomoyo!" said Sakura.
Little Wolf sweat-dropped. "What's so nice about it? It's dangerous!" said Syaoran
"I'll support you all the way!" said Sakura.
"Thank you, Sakura. But I do feel bad for that Eriol guy. It seemed like he really wanted to win," said Tomoyo.
"Eriol?" retorted Sakura, not realizing she already know him.
"It's nothing," said Tomoyo as she secretly smiled to herself.
-Next Day-
Little Wolf happily ran around the house as Touya was in the kitchen, making breakfast. Sakura was in her room, looking down at her pink piggy bank.
"This is all I have," said Sakura, helplessly. Sakura walked downstairs to the kitchen where she found Touya training Little Wolf.
"Sit!" ordered Touya. Little Wolf stood still and looked at Touya pathetically.
"I say SIT!" demanded Touya, angrily. Touya then tried to push Little Wolf bottom down.
Little Wolf struggle not to sit. "I don't WANNA!"
Sakura blinked a couple of times. "What are you doing Touya?" asked Sakura. Touya held up Little Wolf and toss him to Sakura. Sakura quickly caught Little Wolf in her arms.
"Teach him some trick Sakura. He's SO boring," said Touya. Little Wolf stuck his tongue out at Touya.
"I'm going out for a bit," said Sakura as she put on her shoes.
"Wait," said Touya as he tossed a blue envelop.
"What is this?' asked Sakura as she caught it.
"It's a ticket to some pet meeting. Go there and teach Little Wolf how to potty. I get freaked out every time I see him sniffing around," said Touya
"Gee, I thought he never cared where I use the bathroom," said Syaoran.
"Ok thanks," Sakura as she shoved the blue envelop into her pocket.
Sakura walked down the street as Little Wolf walk beside her. Once Sakura reached to her destination, she looked down at Little Wolf.
"Animals are not allowed so you got to stay here," explained Sakura. Little Wolf understood and sat beside the door. As soon as Sakura walked in the shop, she noticed a lot of collection of watch. Sakura walked up to the counter and pull out her piggy bank.
"What can I get with this?" asked Sakura as she held out her piggy bank.
The cashier looked oddly at her. "How much is in there?" asked the cashier.
Sakura thought for a moment. "About… twenty-four dollar!" said Sakura.
The cashier shook her head. "I'm sorry, this shop only sells brands. Twenty-four dollar won't be enough," she explained.
Sakura let out a huge sigh. "I thought so. I guess this means I can't get dad a present," said Sakura, sadly. Sakura walked out of the shop sadly.
"Hey Sakura, what took you so long?" asked Syaoran. Sakura let out another big sigh, ignoring Little Wolf small barks. Then Sakura heard animal cries from across the street. She watched a group of people taking their pets into a building. Sakura took out the blue envelop from her pocket.
"Maybe I should check it out," said Sakura. Sakura quickly carried Little Wolf and ran across the street. Little Wolf looked up and read the big sigh from the building.
"Go Pet?" read out Syaoran. Sakura walked into the building.
"Hey! Why are we going in here?! I don't need POTTY TRAINING!" hollered Syaoran.
"Welcome to Go Pet!" greeted a lady, who had long golden hair. Sakura looked around the busy crowd with their pets.
"Wow, there are so many people," commented Sakura.
"Yep, there are people who want to train their pets or find their pet love match. There's even a special chance where you could trade your pet with another," explained the lady.
Sakura look down at Little Wolf and smiled. "So Little Wolf, should we find your love match?" asked Sakura, playfully. Little Wolf rolled his eyes.
"Do you have a membership or a coupon?" asked the lady. Sakura handed the lady the blue envelop.
"Thank You! I hope you have a great time!" said the lady. Sakura walked deeper inside the shop. There were so many kinds of animals; hamster, cat, dog, and even a snake!
A small child walked up to Sakura. "Hi there! My name is Yuya and this is my pet, BunBun," she greeted. Sakura observed her cute bunny beside her.
"What an adorable bunny!" said Sakura as she petted the bunny.
"My name is Sakura and this is Little Wolf!" Sakura greeted back as she held up Little Wolf.
"Is he really a wolf?" wondered Yuya.
"Yep! A baby wolf!" stated Sakura.
"Mini-Wolf!" corrected Syaoran.
"BunBun can do tricks! Can Little Wolf do tricks?" asked Yuya.
"Well…." Sakura looked at Little Wolf, who was wondering his eyes around.
"BunBun jump!" said Yuya. Sakura watched amazingly how the bunny jumps.
"Wow! That's great!" said Sakura
Little Wolf rolled his eyes. "It's a bunny. It's supposed to jump!"
"What can Little Wolf do?" asked Yuya.
"Something more amazing than jump!" said Syaoran, energetically.
Little Wolf began to hop around with his two feet. Sakura watched Little Wolf, surprised.
"Wow! That's so cool! Do more!" demanded Yuya. Little Wolf then did a nice back flip. Yuya and Sakura began to clapped this time. As Little Wolf began to do more tricks, the crowd became larger. Everyone in the building was interested in Little Wolf tricks.
Little Wolf did another back flip.
"Wow! Amazing!" said one of the crowds.
An old man walked up to Sakura. "I'll trade my turtle for your pet!" he offered.
"What?" said Sakura, surprised with his offer.
Some bigger lady appeared in front of Sakura. "No! I'll trade my loyal cat for your pet!" she offered. More and more trade offers were made to Sakura's Little Wolf. Little Wolf ran into Sakura arms, hiding from the crowds. Sakura held tight onto Little Wolf as people tried to approach her.
"Please STOP IT!" hollered Yuya. Everyone became silent and looked over at Yuya.
"You got to let Sakura answer your question first!" said Yuya. Then everyone eyes look on Sakura, waiting for her answer.
Sakura looked startled. "Um…..Little Wolf….." Sakura looked nervously at the tense crowd.
"Look! Her pet doesn't even have a collar! Does it really belong to you?" asked the bigger lady.
"Yeah, that pet might not really be yours!" shouted out the old man. The crowd became louder again and Sakura became more nervous.
Sakura clenched her teeth, wanting to get out of the building. "HE'S MINE!" yelled out Sakura. The entire building became dead silent. Everyone looked over to Sakura, who was holding Little Wolf with all her might.
"He's all mine so please leave me alone," cried out Sakura. Little Wolf looked up at Sakura, half surprised and half happy.
Yuya smiled as she heard Sakura answered. "Come on Sakura, let's get Little Wolf a collar," said Yuya as she dragged Sakura to the counter.
"Pick one," said Yuya. Sakura looked at the varied of color of collars. Sakura pointed at the plain black one.
"That'll be twenty-four dollar!" said the cashier.
"WHAT!" hollered Sakura, surprised.
"What's wrong Sakura? Do you have enough money?" asked Yuya.
"No, it's nothing," said Sakura as he got out her piggy bank. The cashier handed Sakura the black collar.
"Thank You," said Sakura as took the collar. Sakura slowly placed the collar around Little Wolf's neck.
"It's a little too big," commented Yuya.
"No, it's because Little Wolf is too little," said Sakura.
"Oh, I see" said Yuya as she began to understand. Yuya reached for the silver name tag. She began to write on it with permanent marker. Then she placed the name tag onto the collar. Sakura looked at the name tag.
"Sakura's Little Wolf" read out Sakura.
"Yep! Little Wolf only belongs to you, Sakura!" stated Yuya.
Sakura smiled. "Thanks Yuya for everything," said Sakura.
"No problem! Please visit here again! My mom owns this place so I could make sure you get in free!" said Yuya.
"Thanks, I will," said Sakura as she smiled gently.
Later back at Sakura's house, Sakura finally finished taking her hot bath. Sakura wrapped her towel around her head, covering her wet hair. When Sakura walked out of the bathroom, she saw Little Wolf in her room, playing with his collar.
"How did you come in here?" asked Sakura as she bended down to Little Wolf. Little Wolf looked up at Sakura. Sakura gently pet Little Wolf.
"It's not bad having you for a pet," said Sakura. Sakura watched Little Wolf run into the corner of her room.
"What's wrong?" asked Sakura.
POOF! Twenty-four hours had passed and Syaoran finally turned back into human. Sakura froze and she blinked a couple of times. Syaoran was NAKED!
"AHHH!" hollered Sakura as she quickly covered her eyes.
"How can I forget that Little Wolf is actually a human being?" thought Sakura. Syaoran grabbed the towel off Sakura's head and covered the lower part of his body.
"Sy-Syaoran?" called out Sakura, wondering if he was still in the room. Syaoran slowly walked behind Sakura and put his arms around her. Sakura gasped as she removed her hand away from her eyes.
"I just wanted you to know that I'm all yours," Syaoran quietly whispered into Sakura's ears. Sakura quickly unlock herself from Syaoran and stood FAR away from him.
Sakura couldn't stop herself from blushing. "I'm warning you, get out of my room!"
Syaoran pouted. "Aww, you're being mean again," whined Syaoran.
"OUT OR ELSE!" warned Sakura, angrily.
"Can we make this equal? I mean I saw you in the bathtub and you also saw me a while ago. So that'll make us even!" stated Syaoran.
BAM! Sakura threw her alarm clock at him.
"Ok I'm going, I'm going" said Syaoran as he walked out of his room. Sakura sighed deeply.
Syaoran popped his head as he opened Sakura door. "Um…Does this mean you like me now?" wondered Syaoran. Sakura gave Syaoran her final death glare. Syaoran quickly shut the door before Sakura threw another item at him.
"Seriously, I can't stand him!" huffed out Sakura, angrily. Sakura then secretly smiled to herself as she realized the collar she bought him fitted perfectly on his human neck.
