Ummm I made a few changes in the last chapter because I got a few things wrong.
Chibi Heero: Mainly she called the Jusenkyo Springs, Jyuunishi! I can't believe it! This is the second time you got things mixed up! BAKA!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Jusenkyo springs, nor Ranma ½'s plot
Kawaii Authoress (crying): WAH! Why are you so mean to me? I didn't mean to get those things wrong, it's not my fault they both have 'J's and 'U's!
Chibi Heero: Stop crying! SHUT UP! You're gonna flood the whole fic! HEEELLLPPP!
Legend: "speech" 'thought' wolf speaking
Chapter 2: Syaoran's Pet
"Meiling I'm so worried! Ever since we got out of the museum, he's been afraid of me." Syaoran cried as he tried to coax the little wolf to come out from behind the car seat when they got home. When he heard no reply, Syaoran turned to find that Meiling was all ready inside the house.
"C'mon puppy don't worry I won't hurt you. Come here." Syaoran whispered as he slowly approached the frightened cub (1) and carried it inside the house.
"Noooooo! Let me go! I don't wanna take a bath! Nooooooooooo!"
"Syaoran can you stop that thing from howling! I swear my ear drums are going to burst!" Meiling shouted as she descended the stairs wearing a pair of pink Chinese top and pedal pants.
"Meiling do you think he's sick?" Syaoran asked worriedly as he carried the wolf like he would a baby. Sakura however tried to get on her legs and when she was right-side up again she immediately bit Syaoran's hand and ran to hide behind the TV.
"OW! He bit me!"
"That's for calling me a he, AND for trying to give me a hot bath."
"Maybe he's mad at you because you keep calling HER a HIM."
"Nonsense! I would've known if he's a she."
"Have you checked?"
"Well no, but I assume-"
"You assumed? You're such a sexist Syaoran, no wonder SHE'S mad at you." Meiling snorted as she walked into the kitchen.
Slightly annoyed, Syaoran grabbed the pup harshly and hoisted her into the air, "Is this the thanks I get for rescuing you from all those girls at the museum! I'm not going to hurt-oh! You ARE a girl!" Syaoran grinned.
'He looked at my! PERVERT!' "Pervert! How dare you look at my-! Let me go!" Sakura continued to bark angrily at the Chinese as she wiggled to get out of his firm grip.
Syaoran sighed as he slowly set her down on the carpeted floor, "Fine, you obviously don't like me." Once on the floor the young wolf cocked her head to the side as if questioning his actions.
"I mean go, leave me, you obviously don't like me because you keep trying to bite me!" Syaoran scolded as he sat down on one of the plush chairs in the room, and with that the poor puppy hurried to find a hiding place in the mansion.
Just then Meiling returned eating a slice of cake, "Where's the noisy animal?" she asked when she noted the silence in the room.
"I don't know…hiding somewhere from me. Meiling can I ask you one thing?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"How can you win a girl's affection?"
Thinking that her cousin was pertaining to her an idea came into mind, "Well Syaoran most girls like jewelry. I'm sure if you buy that GIRL a necklace or a RING I'm sure she's bound to like you."
"Meiling that's a great idea! Tell Wei that I'll just be out for a while."
SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs
"Great just great, what am I going to tell father? And what's going to happen to Sakura?" Touya cried as he paced back and forth in the living room burning a hole through the floor.
"Touya could you please calm down? I'm trying to locate Sakura's aura and I can't concentrate with you-"
"Calm down! You want me to calm down? Tell me Eriol how can I CALM down if my little sister is out there somewhere as a wolf cub? And that's not all! What if some guy decided to give her a HOT bath and sees her naked? Can you guarantee me that he won't take advantage of her? So don't tell me to calm down!" Touya cried grabbing Eriol by the collar giving him the iciest glare he could manage, whilst Eriol remained poised and looked back coolly at Touya's dark pools.
"Touya-kun yamete kudasai. Eriol-kun is doing everything he can to find Sakura…and I know that Sakura-chan can take care of herself, so you shouldn't worry. She'll come home." Tomoyo reassured as she pried Touya's hands off the other's collar.
SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs
"Ohohoho!" Meiling laughed as she tried to eat her dinner, her thought then shifted to Syaoran making her blush profusely ignoring her food. 'I can't believe Syaoran finally decided to buy me an engagement ring! He's so sweet…I'm falling in love with him all over again.'
Just then Sakura came out of her hiding place and started running around the dining room "Anou, Meiling can you feed me?" Sakura whimpered as she laid a paw on the other's leg, her eyes pleading.
"Not right now!" she shouted slightly pushing the cub away, but the puppy only whimpered louder "Fine, I get it! Wei-san could you feed this puppy I think it's hungry."
"Yes ma'am."
Just then Syaoran walked inside the house, as Wei was about to carry Sakura off into some other room. "Wei-san could you wait one moment please, I have something for her." Syaoran called as he brought out a long rectangular box out of his pocket.
Meiling clapped her hands before holding them both our to him, "So what did you get me?" she asked with a big smile plastered on her face. Chocolate eyes looked back at her curiously, "What?"
"My gift! You were asking me how to win a girl's affection and of course that only means you want to win MY affection!"
"Oh! Hahaha! I'm sorry Meiling but this isn't for you." Meiling's face faulted as she watched Syaoran take Sakura from Wei and set her down on the table.
In return Sakura looked up excitedly at him, her tail wagging from left to right. "Did you get something for me?" Sakura barked, giving Syaoran a little lick.
It didn't take long for Sakura to realize the meaning of what she had done, 'Did I just kiss Li-kun? I didn't even know that I did that!'
"Aha! Isn't she very smart? She already knows that I got something for her." He chuckled as he opened the box revealing a black choker with a golden heart pendant on the center with an engraving at the front: Hana (2) Li.
"It's your new collar Hana, do you like it?" he asked as he wrapped the collar around the puppy's neck who in turn barked happily as she licked Syaoran's face.
'So he named me Hana…well the name sounds nice.' Sakura thought happily.
"Isn't it beautiful Meiling? Now you officially belong to me! It's real gold you know."
SsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSsSs
Inside his bedroom Hana kept barking and running around, "I wonder what ticked Meiling off?" Syaoran wondered out loud as he took off his shirt.
'Oh no he's taking off his clothes! I mustn't see!' Hana's mind raced as she tried to look for a hiding place, conveniently tucking herself under the bed.
"Hana? Hana where are you it's time to take a bath." Wrapping a towel around his waist Syaoran searched behind the furniture for his pet. "Aha! You shouldn't be hiding under there! Look at you, now you're covered in dust!" he scolded as he dusted Hana off making her sneeze.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I DON'T WANT A BATH!" The young cub continued to wail as she tried to squirm out of her owner's grip.
"Hana stop struggling I might drop you."
'If he drops me in the water he'll find out that I'm a-!' she balked when an idea came into her. 'Li-kun I hope you'll forgive me, but I don't want you to find out!' Immediately she buried her fangs deeply into Syaoran's hand.
"OUCH! You bit me!" Syaoran scolded accidentally dropping Hana into the tub of hot water, all of a sudden the whole tub was covered with smoke. 'What the? Hana?'
After the smoke disappeared Syaoran with his hand in his mouth –tending his bite wound- was staring wide eyed at the person in his bathtub! There was Sakura inside his tub…NAKED!
"EH K-Konbawa Li-kun." The Card Mistress greeted as she lowered herself into the water in order to hide herself, at the same time trying to stop her face from reddening.
Syaoran on the other hand could feel his face growing hot from embarrassment and felt a trickle of liquid run down his nose; he didn't realize that it was his own blood. His blood rushing towards his face and to another organ in his body. Who wouldn't be embarrassed? Sakura was in his tub wearing NOTHING whilst he was wrapped in only a TOWEL!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Author's Note: Can you imagine Syaoran screaming like that? D LOL He's such a gentleman that he actually got scared of the sight! But what will he do now that he knows that his pet is none other than Sakura herself?
(1)Thanks for those who replied about my question, but since many answered cub and pup I'll be using both terms, since they are both correct
(2)I'm keeping the flower names…Hana is Japanese for flower. And whenever Sakura is in her wolf form I'll call her Hana.
Yamete kudasai – please stop
Konbanwa- Good evening
Reply to Reviews:
All: I hate to address you all like this but almost all of you said the same thing so I just want to say thank you for liking it and saying that it's funny. And I hope that you like this chapter just as the last one and that I can read more of your kind reviews because I really enjoyed them and they really made my day. )
I love you guys (cries and hugs all reviewers)
Before I begin some of you might want to read the reply for A.J. because it might help in clarifying some misunderstandings on the fic…that is if you got confused.
A.J.- You might have missed the warning but I said that this fic is AU (Alternate Universe) so though the fic seems close to the original anime/mangga there will still be some slight differences. Like Syaoran being older than Sakura. And actually I saw the second movie, and it was soooo romantic! And yes I have seen the Japanese version.
lor- now you know what happened, and thanks so much for mentioning the Jusenkyo, if it wasn't for you those springs would have remained Jyuunishi.
Mystic Moon Empress- Glad you thought it was funny, actually I did get the idea from the show Ranma ½
rose- actually I wanted to put Syaoran in the tub as well…but I think that would be too harsh. I mean Syaoran would've fainted and drowned if I did that, but I would have loved to see that! LOL
Daisuke-fan-girl- sorry I don't know Tokyo mew mew, but thanks for adding my fic to your favorites, I'm so touched.
Elithil- Glad to have your attention, I'm touched that you took notice of my fic.
shero003- I was actually going to do what you said, as that was my original plan; but then I decided that the fic will flow better is Syaoran knows. Thanks for the idea though, and hope you keep giving more ideas, that might be of help to my following chapters.
Umi Kanshisha- I LOVE wolves too! They're just so cool and so cute and I completely agree with you about them being the best animal out there.
