Cry of a Wolf-Chapter Thirteen: Chaos at Breakfast

Syaoran stood in a familiar forest. He recognized it from the dream he had the night before his birthday. Was this a dream? It probably was, considering he didn't remember coming here. The forest was completely silent, and not even the wind made a sound. Suddenly, the howling of a wolf was heard. Syaoran almost seemed drawn to the sound, and he followed the howling to its source.

The howling led him the clearing he had been to before. He saw no wolf, and the howling disappeared. Syaoran looked up the moon, which was full and shining at its highest glory. The light that emitted from it was mesmerizing, and it was rather hard to look away from. It was shining brighter than it had ever shone before. Suddenly, a dark shadow fled across, completely enveloping it's light. The forest became so dark, that not even city lights could puncture the darkness.

Suddenly, half the moon's light had returned, but half of the darkness remained. A voice that seemed familiar then spoke into his mind.

"Where there is Light, there is also Darkness," the voice said, echoing throughout his mind. Syaoran stared blankly at the now half-moon.

Suddenly, consciousness came back to him. He sat up on his bed, eyes half shut from the sunlight. 'Weird…' was the only thought that came into his head. This dream wasn't peaceful or scary. Just weird. Syaoran gave a yawn and stood up to stretch. After a few good stretches, he did his daily push-ups and sit-ups, which he had forgotten to do yesterday.

The sun peaked through the glass doors of his veranda as if calling to him to get fresh air. Syaoran walked outside onto his veranda and was once again captured in the beauty of the Li garden. The heat was less intense today, but the light breeze remained. Syaoran's thoughts were interrupted as he heard the faint sound of singing…

Loop – Translation (Maaya Sakamoto)

Hey, while this town is covered by twilight,
The morning sun is shining down somewhere else in this world.
As that flower withers away in your hand,
A little seed probably falls into the ground somewhere.

Syaoran began to climb off his veranda to search for the source of the voice.

If the trodden soil is called a path,
Then is shutting my eyes love?

If our star was flat, the two of us wouldn't have met.
We were running without slowing down,
As if from each other. No matter how far apart we are now,
We will surely face each other again in this revolving miracle.

As he climbed onto the cherry blossom tree, he noticed the singing had gotten louder. Syaoran peeked through a branch, and sees that it is Sakura who is singing as she is twirling and dancing on her veranda.

Hey, when the twilight passes from this town,
Take my tears away too.

If a story of words is called a novel,
Then are these words that can't reach you my dream?

Carried by fallen leaves floating in the river that flows without faltering,
Became clouds with the sea and fell with the rain,
I will raise this seed that fell near the distant you.
If only you would notice me from your distant location.

Syaoran listened to her voice with a soft smile on his face. The sight of her dancing was heart warming.

Because our star revolves without stopping,
The scenery outside the tiny opened window changes,
And the flower I loved, we will surely face each other again,
In this revolving miracle, in this sprouting season,
We will surely face each other again.
Round and round I go,
Round and round around you.

He finally decided to emerge from his hiding place.

"Good Morning, Sakura," Syaoran said. Sakura was so startled that she nearly fell off the veranda.

"Ah! Syaoran! You startled me," she said. He smiled one of his rare smiles.

"You have a beautiful voice, Sakura," he said, as she blushed furiously.

"Y-you heard?" She asked. He nodded.

"I…don't think I'm very good at singing," she said, embarrassed. Syaoran shook his head.

"I thought it was beautiful. Will you please sing for me again someday?" he asked as she blushed further. Sakura then smiled and gave a nod.

Syaoran climbed onto her veranda, and the two of them both walked into her room.

"You seem to be in a good mood today," Syaoran stated as Sakura twirled unconsciously in happiness. Sakura blushed and then smiled.

"I had a wonderful dream last night!" Sakura said as she thought back about her dream.

"Really? What about?" Syaoran asked curiously. Her face turned bright red from embarrassment. She couldn't tell him about the dream! In her dream, she and Syaoran were flying together.

The two of them then heard a knock on the door, and Sakura motioned for him to hide himself. Sakura headed to the door, although it was opened before she could herself. Touya stood at the doorway with a look of suspicion on his expression. Touya glared around the room as if searching for something.

"W-what are you doing in here?" Sakura asked, pretending to be oblivious.

"I thought I heard you talking to the gaki in here," Touya said, still looking around.

"What? No! He's not in here! Why would he be in here?" Sakura said in a hardly convincing way. Touya began to search the room inch by inch, and she began to grow nervous. 'What if he finds Syaoran?' Sakura thought worriedly.

She saw Touya's eyes drift to a lump on her bed. 'You gotta be kidding me!' Sakura thought. Why would he pick such a pathetic hiding place? Sakura felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Who knows what Touya would do to him if he found him THERE! Touya's fingers tightened onto the end of the blanket and then yanked it off quickly. Sakura closed her eyes without wanting to see Syaoran's death. Although, when she did not hear yelling, she opened her eyes. It was just a pillow. She sighed in relief. Touya only glared.

"Well…it seems he's not in here," he said as he headed for the door.

"See you at breakfast…kaijuu," (kaijuu-monster) he said with a grin on his face. Sakura glared in anger.

"I'm not a kaijuu!" she yelled, enraged. Before she could say any more, he shut the door behind him.

"Syaoran. You can come out now," Sakura said. She was wondering where he was herself. She turned around and saw him fall down from above in front of her. Sakura was startled but impressed nonetheless.

"You were on the ceiling?" she asked, amazed. Syaoran winked.

"It's a little trick I learned during my training," he said. Sakura laughed.

"That's amazing! I guess when I look for you now, I'll have to check the ceilings!" Sakura said. Syaoran smiled.

He then left Sakura to tidy up for breakfast. After all, he had to himself. He took a shower and then changed. When he arrived downstairs, he received a warm welcoming from his family and friends, but he received a glare from Touya of course. Breakfast was the same as it usually was. The only difference about today was that he had eight extra guests, which didn't even tell him they were coming (Sakura, Touya, Tomoyo, Eriol, Yukito, Nakuru, Suppi, and Kero). Yukito and Kero nearly ate all of the breakfast. Yukito knew when to stop, but Kero could care less.

Touya stared at Kero and realized that he wasn't pretending to be a stuffed animal anymore. After they figured out that Touya knew about their struggle, they weren't afraid to hide anything anymore. Although, it must have been odd to Yukito, who didn't know anything until he was told he wasn't human. Of course, Syaoran's sisters barely ate because they were too busy trying to flirt with Touya and Yukito. Syaoran found it funny though when Nakuru told them Touya belonged to nobody but her.

Yelan sat quietly, although she was amused by the teenager's behavior. She would stop it if it got out of control. Syaoran gazed to Sakura, who smiled brightly. Syaoran pulled his head down. He didn't like it when his family saw him blush. Nobody noticed except for Tomoyo who immediately pulled out her video camera for footage. After Syaoran yelled at her angrily, she turned the camera on Sakura, who blushed in embarrassment.

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said, turning beat red.

"Sakura-chan, please let me film you in a Chinese outfit while we're here!" Tomoyo said.

Kero floated over to Tomoyo with some food remaining on his face (it won't last long).

"Film me later! I made a cool new pose!" Kero said, pretending to be sexy. Syaoran glared.

"Stuffed animals can do lots of poses, now can't they? I mean, considering they don't have bones…or a brain," Syaoran said, with a smirk. Fire was seen in Kero's beady eyes.

"Call me 'stuffed animal' one more time kid, and I'll crush you like an ant!" Kero said, obviously angry. Syaoran only smiled.

"…Stuffed animal"

Kero's anger scale exploded to uncontrollable. He transformed into Keroberos and tackled Syaoran right out of his chair and onto the ground. Everyone's conversation died, and they stared at the fighting guardian and boy.

"Kero-chan!" Sakura yelled at Kero angrily. Touya was cheering him on. Tomoyo was filming every detail. Eriol smiled. The sisters were trying to pull Kero's large lion body off of Syaoran. Yukito sat VERY still. Nakuru was also trying to pry Kero off him. Yelan was in complete shock. The future Li clan leader was being mauled by a giant stuffed animal.

When Sakura yelled at Touya for laughing, the entire room engaged in an argument. Syaoran struggled underneath Kero, screaming "GET OFF OF ME!!". Kero, deciding that he didn't want to move, sat on him.

"Get off of him!" The four sisters yelled, and their strength was not budging the lion. Touya was fighting with Sakura, and was trying to state how Syaoran deserved it. Eriol gazed to Yelan, who seemed ready to burst. A look of disapproval and anger shone in her dark eyes.

Suddenly, she stood up and slapped her hands down on the table. The entire room was silenced.

"That is quite enough!" Yelan shouted, with such power, that all of the people in the room bowed their heads in shame. Kero, even feeling guilty, stepped off of Syaoran who stood up. The look in her eyes was intimidating. No wonder Syaoran was afraid of his mother when it came to report cards! Yelan looked to her son, and her narrowed eyes demanded his apology. Syaoran looked to Kero.

" Keroberos…I-I'm sorry. What I said was inexcusable," Syaoran said, shocking everybody. Kero was the most shocked.

" Actually…I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gotten so out of control," Kero said.

Everybody was shocked. Meilin was about ready to duck underneath the table and yell "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!". Yelan smiled in acceptance. Then, Touya looked to Sakura.

"I-I'm sorry for being such a jerk since I arrived," Touya said, barely even making eye contact. The three amazing apologies brought up peace in the kitchen, which pleased Yelan immensely. Tomoyo was ready to faint. She had captured the entire thing on videotape! She would label it 'The power of a mother'…or something like that.

In the Library of the Li mansion

Eriol sat in the Li library. He was absolutely amazed at the enormous amount of books it held. There were so many books about magic, spells, martial arts, history, and regular novels. He loved books. When he heard there was a library here, he just couldn't resist. His eyes grazed across the binds, and he was looking for a story that best suited his mood. It would take a while, considering he had such a large selection. When Eriol found one, he made himself comfortable in one of the soft couches.

Eriol could read quite quickly, and he finished his novel in less than an hour. He immediately went to search for a second book. Once again, his eyes grazed across the bindings. He continued to look when his gaze came across an interesting book. The book seemed incredibly old and looked rarely touched. Although, what interested him the most was the strange aura around it. Eriol's hand went to reach it, but as his hand gripped onto it, another hand did as well. This wasn't just anybody's hand…it was Naraku's…

Lilover131: How was that chapter? I thought it was about time Naraku made another appearance. In the next chapter…well…I'm not telling you! Lol. Oh! I also have a Tsubasa story I'm working on! If you want it on Fanfiction, please tell me! I have about 8 chapters written, but I need inspiration to put it on! The next chapter might take a bit. I've got exams next week, and free time is going to be tight. Please send reviews!
