Lilover131: Hey everybody! What's up? So anyways, I hope you liked the last chapter! I thought it was about time SOMEBODY talked to Syaoran's father. Eriol seemed like the perfect person, considering he's the only other person besides Syaoran right now who can see spirits. Yes, I know Touya could before. Although, he gave his powers to Yue, remember? In the mangas, Eriol saw Sakura's mother, so I'll go by that. Oh! For those of you have read chapter 107 of Tsubasa, SHADOW SYAORAN IS AWAKE!! Omg!! I've been waiting forever! Anyways, here's chapter twenty.

Cry of a Wolf-Chapter Twenty: Special Summer Memories

Sakura's emerald eyes opened to see the bright sun bearing down on her. She tried to recall last night and quickly remembered. When she looked to her lap, she saw that Kohaku was gone. She felt something leaning on her head. Sakura's eyes gazed beside her and there was a peacefully sleeping Syaoran. She blushed crimson when she realized how close he was. 'He looks so peaceful…it doesn't feel right to wake him up' Sakura thought to herself.

Sakura sighed. Just her luck! She was stuck on a bench for nearly half a day because two little wolves fell asleep on her. Sakura giggled at the thought. It was then that she noticed the blanket covering both of them. 'Where did this come from?' she thought. She quickly shrugged it off when she saw Syaoran's sisters, Eriol, Tomoyo, and Meilin.

"Good morning Sakura! Strange to see you sleeping outside!" said Shiefa with a smile. Sakura blushed.

"It kind of just happened…" Sakura said. She was a tad embarrassed. Eriol began to gaze at Syaoran evilly.

"My cute little descendant is still asleep, hm?" Eriol said with a mischievous look in his eyes. Everyone looked at Syaoran, while Tomoyo pulled out her camera.

"Are you going to get up?" Meilin asked. Sakura sweatdropped.

"Um…well…I don't want to wake him up and…" Sakura started.

"Don't worry about it! You'll only be moving a little bit! That won't wake him up!" Feimei stated.

"Well…" Sakura started. The group pulled off the blanket, and they now saw why she couldn't move. Syaoran still had her locked in his embrace.

"KAWAII!!" the sisters and Tomoyo squealed quietly so the would not wake him up. Tomoyo couldn't get good footage if they woke him up. He'd probably grab the camera and smash into pieces…or erase it secretly later…

"I think it's about time he woke up," Eriol said with the same mischievous look. Tomoyo smirked evilly in joy.

"Oh! I must get this on tape! Someone has to help me guard the camera!" Tomoyo said. Sakura eyes held confusion. This didn't sound very good…

Suddenly, Eriol began to poke at Syaoran's forehead. This caused his eyebrows to furrow. Eriol continued to poke him (you know how annoying this is when you're trying to sleep) repetitively until finally his eyes shot open. He began immediately sending death glares. He sat up and released his embrace on Sakura with a groggy look in his eyes.

"What the hell are you doing? I'm trying to sleep!" Syaoran yelled. He was tired and angry. He lay back down on the bench attempting to go back to sleep, but Eriol was fairly persistent. He continued to poke Syaoran annoyingly until he finally exploded and chased after him.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!" Syaoran yelled as he ran after Eriol who smiled in enjoyment.

"Catch me if you can, my cute little descendant!" Eriol said as he ran sneakily like a cat. Syaoran bared his teeth in annoyance.

"If I had my sword, you'd be dead by now asshole!" Syaoran yelled after Eriol. They ran for at least five minutes, while the entire group was laughing hysterically. Finally, Syaoran stopped to take a breath.

"…Ch-cheater…" Syaoran said in between breaths. Eriol just smiled.

"Why the hell did you have to wake me up? It's early!" Syaoran yelled. Eriol just laughed.

"Syaoran-kun, it's past NOON now," Eriol said. Syaoran widened his eyes and stared in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me! I'm still tired!" Syaoran said as he fell onto his back on the soft garden earth.

"Well we had to wake you up anyways," Meilin said. Syaoran stared at his cousin in curiosity.

"Why?" Syaoran asked. The entire group smiled, except for Sakura and Syaoran who stared cluelessly.

"Because…WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!!!" the entire group said in unison.

On the car trip to the Beach

Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol, Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran's sisters, Touya, Yukito, and Nakuru sat in a limousine that was heading towards the beach.

"Wow! This is amazing! I didn't know you're family owned a limousine!" Yukito said gazing around the limousine. Black leather seats, a counter for drinks, you name it! This hot ride was practically livable!

"Well, we needed a larger car to fit us all, and well…we're quite wealthy," said Feimei.

"I'm so excited! I've never been to a beach in Hong Kong before!" Sakura said with a bright smile. Syaoran was snoozing away in his seat, while Tomoyo was sewing a frilly bathing suit for Sakura to wear. Syaoran's sisters were discussing whether there would be hot guys or not at the beach.

"Me neither. It should be really fun!" Yukito said with a smile as well.

"Which beach are we going to?" Touya asked.

"We're going to Repulse Bay. It's the most popular beach in Hong Kong, and it's really close to a shopping area!" Meilin answered.

"Ah…I remember Repulse Bay back when I was Clow. It was a beautiful place. I believe that's where I met Madoushi," Eriol said. He had already known Sakura's previous encounter with her last time she came to Hong Kong. Suddenly, Syaoran opened his eyes from his little nap.

"And to think she really could have found you instead of trying to kill us!! Whatever you did must have really pissed her off, because if she weren't so desperate for revenge on you, she wouldn't have thrown a tidal wave on me!" Syaoran said. He was angered just from the thought of that last time. Touya and Yukito stared in confusion.

"This happened last time we were here? When did this happen?" Touya asked. Sakura sighed. Their memories had been erased after that whole incident.

"Um…it's kind of a long story," Sakura said. Touya held a look that said 'Tell me NOW'. Finally, Fanren pointed outside the window of the limousine.

"We're here!" Fanren said to everyone. They all looked out of the window and saw a beautiful beach along a shopping area. The water was a deep blue, and the sand was a rich white. Many people lay tanning in the sun, and several were swimming. The waves were at a descent height, and the wind blew quite peacefully. It was truly a perfect day to go to the beach.

"Wow!" Sakura said as she was staring in admiration at the magnificent beach. Syaoran smiled. He always loved it when she got excited like this. It was just some kind of ecstatic feeling he got when he saw her happy. Tomoyo, seeing this smile, quickly and quietly pulled out her camera.

Finally, the group stepped out of the limousine onto the beach and headed over to find a good spot. The guys were forced to carry all of the stuff, which didn't really bother them. They were all strong anyway. The girls immediately laid down after Touya put up the large beach umbrella. Syaoran had also fallen back and nearly fell asleep again on the beach blanket.

"The sun feels really nice…" everyone said in unison, except for Syaoran who just smiled. Soon afterwards, everyone got up and went to go change into their bathing suits. The girls all went to the nearest bathroom to change. The guys didn't have to worry because they were already in their bathing suits (you know guys…they can practically call them shorts. They could go anywhere wearing those things).

"I saw the bathing suit Tomoyo was making for Sakura. It'll probably look great on her," Eriol said to Syaoran, who still lay on the beach blanket.

"I guess. Tomoyo has such strange habits, doesn't she?" Syaoran said. He was not even looking at Eriol. Eriol sat down on the beach blanket and stared to the rolling clouds above the majestic ocean.

"Strange habits are what make us unique, Syaoran-kun. There's always some quality we have that others won't. With someone as unique as Tomoyo, her crazy little hobbies are what make her special," Eriol said. Syaoran couldn't help but notice the look in his deep blue eyes when he said that. There was a look of admiration. Or perhaps something more…Syaoran smiled. He recognized this kind of look. 'He'd better ask her out soon. They'd be perfect together, considering they're both completely insane!' Syaoran thought before closing his eyes for a moment.

"Yo! brat!" Syaoran heard Touya call. He slowly opened his eyes and gazed to find Touya's voice. Syaoran sat up and looked over towards him.

"Do you know how to surf?" Touya asked. He was holding a surfboard in his hands. Syaoran paused for a moment.

"…Yeah. More or less," Syaoran said. Touya threw him the surfboard, which he caught a little loosely.

"Surf with me," Touya said as he grabbed another surfboard for himself. Syaoran looked at him quizzically. Was he challenging him secretly to a contest, or did he really want to surf with him? Without much more of a though, Touya ran towards the waves. Syaoran followed suit quickly after with a small smile etched on his face.

"Have fun," Eriol said to Syaoran before he ran towards the calm whispering sea.

With the girls

The girls found a dressing room at a close by clothing shop. They all asked if they could change there, and the owner had no problems with it. Sakura stared at herself in the mirror while blushing in embarrassment from the bathing suit Tomoyo had sewn for her. It was just so pretty! She looked like a mermaid in her own opinion.

The bathing suit consisted of a metallic green bikini top with a row of green gems as the straps, and there was a metallic bikini bottom with a skirt to go over it. The skirt had many sparkling green sequins, and was slightly see-through, for that whispy, seaweed look in the water. The outfit was rather eye catching, due to the shininess, but she had to admit…it complimented her eyes quite well.

"Sakura-chan, are you done changing yet?" Sakura heard Feimei's voice call.

"Yes! I'll be out in a moment!" Sakura replied. After taking one last look at herself in the mirror, she exited the dressing room. As soon as she came out, she saw all of the girls staring at her.

"What?" Sakura asked. She was wondering why they were all staring at her.

"Oh my goodness! Who wants to make a bet on whether Syaoran will fall over or not when he sees Sakura?" Fanren said as she was pinching Sakura's cheeks at how cute she looked.

"SO KAWAII!!" the sisters cried out as they suddenly jumped at Sakura and embraced her. This reminded her a little TOO much of last time…

"SAKURA-CHAN!!" someone screamed. Sakura recognized it as Tomoyo's voice. Sakura wrenched herself free of the sister's grasps quickly to assist her friend.

"Tomoyo-chan, what's wrong?" Sakura asked in concern. Was Tomoyo in danger?

"You just have to try these on!!" Tomoyo said as she pulled off an extremely frilly dress off of the rack. Sakura fell over. Sometimes things would just never change…

The girls heading back

After all of them were done changing and they had all finished looking around in the clothing store, they began to head back to the beach. Sakura blushed in embarrassment when she saw many guys gazing at her. Several winked.

Soon, they made it back to their site. Sakura stared in awe as she saw someone gliding through the water. Touya and Syaoran were surfing on a fairly large wave. The two almost seemed as if they were just floating on the wave as the wind blew through their hair, and their fingers treaded through the water.

Finally, when they finished their free ride on the waves, they began walking towards the shore.

"Sugoi Sugoi!!" Sakura cheered (Sugoi-amazing!). Syaoran blushed, while Touya laughed.

"Damn. You're pretty good!" Touya said as he patted his hand on his shoulder. It seemed almost unbelievable that they were actually getting along. At least there was one thing they had in common. They both cared about Sakura…and they could both surf.

"Well…I starting surfing as a way to practice my balance," Syaoran said. He was still a little embarrassed. Then, he looked to his girlfriend.

Syaoran just could not stop staring at Sakura. Her outfit made her stick out, and Syaoran felt that at that moment…she was the most beautiful person alive. He fell victim to her eyes quite easily and seemed to be stuck.

"Syaoran?" Sakura asked in concern. He was just standing still and staring right at her. He made no response. It was as if he were in a trance.

"You're so…" Syaoran started.

"Um…Syaoran?" Sakura started as she seemed to be looking behind him. He didn't look away for a second.

"…Beaut- WAH!!!" Syaoran said as he was suddenly thrashed unmercifully by a wave. He fell face first into the sand and the wave washed over him. It then slowly rolled back to the sea.

"Yes! I win the bet! He fell over!!" Fanren said enthusiastically as she jumped into the air. The sister's growled in annoyance as they paid their sister the money they had bet. Sakura kneeled down to see if he was all right.

"Are you okay Syaoran?" Sakura asked while concerned. Syaoran raised himself off the ground. His face was covered in sand and his hair dripped of salt water.

"Why do I always get hit by the tidal waves?" Syaoran said as he sat up straight and tried to brush the sand off of his face. Sakura giggled. Sakura quickly went to grab him a towel. When she returned, he ran it over his face and successfully got the sand away from his eyes.

"Thank you," Syaoran said with an appreciative smile. Sakura smiled back and almost caused him to rise up to heaven in joy.

"Sakura…you look beautiful," Syaoran said. This caused Sakura to blush.

"Well…it's just the bathing suit," Sakura said shyly.

"The bathing suit doesn't make you look any different than you do everyday to me, Sakura," Syaoran said as he stood up. He slowly walked over to the site and fell back onto the blanket where he soon fell asleep. Sakura smiled happily. This time would forever remain a special summer memory.
