Cry of a Wolf-Chapter Four: The not so happy Birthday part 3
The Li family all stared in astonishment at the visitor in their doorway. Sakura Kinomoto stood still as a stone with her face flushed in embarassment and seemed to have trouble keeping eye contact.
She was just as Syaoran had remembered. Her emerald eyes were more mesmerizing than jewels, and her auburn hair looked softer and so touchable.
"Um…" Sakura started, lost in her words.
Syaoran also stood still and was apparently still surprised, especially since he had not expected to see her in his presence again so suddenly. Her gentle, pink aura was radiating from her and were refreshing to his senses. It seemed like forever that the two lovers stood still and were lost in each other's eyes.
Meilin, as impatient as she was, was getting irritated. The girl interrupted and began to push Syaoran towards Sakura.
"I went through a lot of trouble to get her here, so please make it worth while!" Meilin said. Syaoran was now within hugging distance from her, but he still stood still in nervousness.
The family watched patiently, except for Meilin of course, for someone to say something. Finally, and much to their relief, Sakura broke the ice.
"U-um…I'm really glad to see you again Syaoran," Sakura said quietly. Syaoran gave her one of the smiles that he rarely had and pulled her into a warm embrace. Sakura, surprised by this, blushed an even darker shade of red. Although, after a few seconds, she happily wrapped her arms around him in return.
Unforunately, this very special moment did not last very long, and a familiar voice rang through the room causing everyone to jump.
"That's so KAWAII!" said the voice (kawaii-cute). Syaoran scowled, not in anger, but in irritation that he had been interrupted so soon. He knew exactly who this was.
"DAIDOUJI-SAN!" Syaoran screamed, nearly falling over. Tomoyo giggled in response as she entered the room.
Then, almost unsurprisingly, another voice echoed from the doorway; a voice Syaoran was never happy to hear.
'Kill me, please kill me' Syaoran thought to himself.
"Hello, my cute little descendant!" said the voice from behind him. Syaoran immediately turned around with one of his famous death glares pointed towards the source. Eriol Hiiragizawa always appeared when least expected.
The family stared at Eriol in confusion.
"Excuse me, but I don't believe we've met…" Yelan asked, trying to be respectful. Eriol walked up to Yelan and bowed honorably.
"Oh! Please accept my apology! I have not yet introduced myself! I am Hiiragizawa Eriol, the reincarnation of Clow Reed.
Yelan's eyes widened in surprise, as did the rest of the family's. Yelan prepared to bow low for her reincarnated ancestor, but she was stopped short by Eriol.
"That will not be necessary," Eriol assured as he kissed her hand politely. Syaoran looked as if he was ready to strangle Eriol. How dare he kiss his mother's hand! Eriol was very polite for his age, but he lived to tease Syaoran.
"H-Hiiragizawa…one of these days…" Syaoran mumbled almost inaudibly.
Syaoran, Eriol, and Yelan could not help but see the four sisters' crowded around Tomoyo and Sakura. In curiosity, they went to get a closer look at what they were all staring at. Of course, Tomoyo was holding her video camera and sharing filmed scenes from the card capturing days on her camera. However, these weren't just any scenes...they were scenes between Sakura and Syaoran!
Syaoran's face turned red at the scene they were watching, which he felt portrayed him as a blushing idiot. When Syaoran and Meilin had went to Tomoeda during summer break, Tomoyo had forced Syaoran to act in a few scenes for her to record. Sakura had created a monster with the CREATE card, which took the form of a shadow like creature, and the girl was nearly hit, but Syaoran reacted on instinct and protected her before any damage was done.
His sister's had stars in their eyes, and the youngest sibling simply wanted to curl into a hole.
"That's so cute! He protected her!" the sister's squealed in delight. Syaoran blushed redder than a tomato.
Before they knew it, the entire group was crowded around the video camera. Although, since no one could see anything on the recorder due to the crowding, they moved the tape to a television instead, making the couple's embarassment even worse.
Syaoran and Sakura were thouroughly demoralized, yet they smiled as they saw how much they had matured over the years, and they enjoyed watching the good times they had had in the past. The next scene played on the screen projected the fight Syaoran and Meilin had with the TWIN card.
During this clip, Yelan praised Syaoran's show of martial arts skills.
"Wei has taught you well," she complimented.
Syaoran peered down at his father's medallion, which now hung proudly around his neck. Without warning, the new pet wolf walked into the room, and he jumped on to the boy's lap. The cub started to lick his face as it had done earlier that day, and he chuckled at the tickling sensation.
Sakura and Tomoyo adored the wolf and stroked its fur.
"Oh! It's so cute! What's its name?" Sakura asked.
"Um…I haven't given it a name yet," Syaoran answered. The gir placed a finger to her lip and pondered.
"I see…can I help you think of a name?" Sakura asked. Syaoran smiled.
"Of course," he answered. His smile caused her face to flush shyly.
"Its eyes have such a pretty shade of amber, much like yours! Oh! How about we name it Kohaku!" (Kohaku-amber).
Syaoran smiled more, and he found the name rather appealing for the small pup.
"That sounds like a wonderful name!" Tomoyo said.
"All right. Kohaku it is then!" Syaoran declared. The baby wolf, now named Kohaku, began to lick Sakura's face, and it earned a giggle out of her as a reward. Her emerald eyes then wandered to Syaoran's medallion and seemed marveled by its glorious appearance.
"Oh! What a neat medallion!" Sakura said, studying the design.
"It used to be my father's," Syaoran stated with a proud grin.
"May I take a look at it?" Sakura asked. He gently took it off of his neck and placed it delicately in the girl's hands.
Sakura looked at the medallion in amazement. The detail was spectacular, and it was clearly very well taken care of. She smiled at her reflection in the shiny gold surface. However, Sakura could feel a slight trace of magic that did not belong to Syaoran on the medallion.
'I wonder if the green aura I feel came from Syaoran's father?' Sakura thought to herself.
As Sakura returned the medallion, she and the others overheard Tomoyo commenting on the video that caught their attention.
"That's strange...I don't remember taping this," she said. Sakura and Syaoran turned to look at what she was talking about. Syaoran gasped at what he saw…
"No...you didn't tape that, Tomoyo..."
