Chapter 1: Jusenkyo Springs
"Welcome to the springs of Jusenkyo!" The tour guide announced with a cheerful smile before he lead them to the many different springs inside the museum. "Of course we all know that the real spring of Jusenkyo is in China, but this museum was made to look like the Cursed Springs so tourist won't have to go far to see the many different springs."
"Ne Tomoyo why did the guide call the springs Cursed Springs? " Sakura asked as she held on tighter onto Tomoyo's sleeve, "Could it be that there are- g-ghosts h-here?"
"Actually Sakura," Naoko piped as she adjusted her eyeglasses "The reason why they are called Cursed Springs is because many have drowned and died in these springs and they say that the spirits remain in those springs. And when a person enters a spring the spirit kills them and takes over their body!"
"HOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" The whole class stopped talking and the tour guide stopped talking, all eyes were on Sakura Kinomoto.
"Ms. Kinomoto I suggest that you keep your excitement and stop disrupting the tour."
"Hai Terada-sensei." Sakura mumbled, bowing in apology to her teacher. A few students, mainly those who know her, just laughed and considered the action normal; but those who didn't care to know her, mainly the upperclassmen only whispered gossips of how stupid she looked and acted.
"All right all Seniors (1) follow me to the other side of the springs while the juniors stay on this side with Ms. Kaho." Terada announced leading the seniors batch.
"Sakura-chan? Daijobou?" Tomoyo asked when she noticed Sakura looking down on the ground. In response the auburn-haired girl only turned and plastered a cheery smile on her face. "Hai!"
"All right children, 1,000 years ago a young wolf drowned in this very spring!" the tour guide cried as he told the legends behind each spring in Jusenkyo. "And they say that whoever bathes in this spring will have the spirit of the wolf!"
Upon hearing that Sakura inched herself away from the spring not wanting to gain spirit of a dead wolf, "Tomoyo-chan…" she cried holding onto her best friend for dear life. Tomoyo gave her a warming smile and said, "Sakura-chan you shouldn't be afraid remember that the original Jusenkyo Springs are in China. This is only an imitation of the springs, so even if you fall in there you won't turn into a wolf."
"Oh. Sumimasen I feel so silly." Sakura replied as she rubbed the back of her head. She had forgotten that they were inside the museum. "Daijobou Sakura-chan, let's go the line is moving." Tomoyo replied as she pulled Sakura's hand, but what she failed to realize was that Sakura was going the other direction at the same time.
The force made Tomoyo release the other girl into one of the cursed springs.
"Sakura!" The worried teen turned to her class but found that they had gone to the other spring, she looked back into the spring hoping for Sakura to surface but when she saw nothing she hurried to get help.
Sakura choked on the water as she tried to swim up the surface; somehow she was being pulled downwards. 'What's happening? Why can't I swim?' she thought paddling her way upwards when she began to feel some warmth emitting from the spring! 'Nani?'
The warm sensation washed over her in a second and soon she was able to break free from the spring. She climbed up out of the water and started looking for Tomoyo. 'Tomoyo? I wonder where she could be?'
Sakura decided to take a walk, when she noticed that her clothes were all in the spring! 'HOE! I'm not wearing anything!' she hurriedly ran back toward the spring but the moment she looked into the water, the reflection she was expecting to see was NOT there.
"HHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! What happened to me? Why do I look like some kind of wolf? Is this really my reflection?" Sakura felt like a strong bolt of lighting hit her "The curse of the spring!"
Just then she heard someone approaching, she got up and hurried to hide behind one of the rocks near the spring not wanting to be seen soaking wet by any of her friends. "Sakura-chan? Oh Eriol I'm so worried, what if she hasn't come out of the water yet?"
"Don't worry Tomoyo Sakura's a good swimmer, I'm sure she must've swam out of the spring by now." Sakura's eyes widened as she heard the voice of her two friends. 'Tomoyo! Eriol!' Sakura's mind screamed.
Sakura hurriedly ran out from her hiding place and cried "Tomoyo, Eriol, I'm so glad you're here!" "Hey there little fellow! What are you doing in here?" Eriol greeted as he patted Sakura's head. 'I almost forgot, I'm a dog now so Eriol can't possibly understand me! Oh no! Now I'll never be able to change back!' Sakura thought a sad moan escaped her throat.
Eriol then noticed the sudden change of expression of the small animal and he turned to look at it. "What's the matter? Why are you so sad?"
"Eriol could you please stop minding that dog! Sakura must be out cold somewhere-"
"It's a baby wolf (2) not a dog." Eriol replied giving the wolf a closer inspection. 'Ah, so it's a girl…and it has GREEN eyes?'
"Tomoyo, isn't this the spring where a baby wolf drowned?" Eriol asked turning to the frantic brunette.
"Yes why?"
"And you say that Sakura fell in this spring?"
"Yes Eriol what are you getting at?" She cried with a very worried tone, "I all ready told you all these things."
"Tomoyo, I think I just found Sakura." Eriol replied uncertainly as he present the wolf to Tomoyo. The wolf in turn gave a happy bark and started licking Eriol's hand.
"Eriol you're right! You're so good! Ah I'm saved!"
"But how could she turn into a wolf? This isn't the real spring of Jusenkyo!"
"Didn't you know? They transferred water from the real Jusenkyo spring to this imitation spring."
"Okay, then do you think you can break the curse?" Tomoyo asked as she looked down pitifully on her best friend- turned- wolf. Sakura in turn looked back with sad eyes before barking at her. "Don't be sad Tomoyo, I'm okay."
"Maybe, but I'll have to look for the proper spell; but she can temporarily return to human form with hot water. I'll ask the office for some hot water do you think you can get Sakura some clothes?"
In their hurry to get the things they both forgot to take Sakura with them. "Wait! Guys what about me? Don't leave me here! Tomoyo! Eriol!" Sakura cried looking at the direction Eriol went into and then at Tomoyo's unsure of whom to follow.
Finally she decided to run after Tomoyo, but since she was still new to being four-legged she didn't know how to run as fast as she wanted and tripped on the slippery floor causing a few others to stare at a furry red ball.
Syaoran only heaved a heavy sigh for the umpteenth time as his cousin, Meiling, forced him to buy her a souvenir from the souvenir shop. "Meiling I'm telling you I can't buy you that mood ring! If you wanted it you should've brought your own money."
"But Syaoran! I'm your fiancée and I want that ring! That ring will be the symbol of your eternal love for me…"
Syaoran droned out his fiancée's useless love talk, as he noticed a small red fur ball being chased by a mob of girls!
"Li!" Sakura cried as she tried to run toward the handsome uppeclassman, "Li! Help me!" The wolf continued to yelp and hid behind Syaoran's leg. The girls immediately stopped and groaned and turned back to whatever they were doing. "Awwwww, he already has an owner."
The Chinese only looked at the tired wolf, and started to pat its head. He has always been attracted to wolves; he was after all named after them. "Did those mean girls scare you?" the small wolf only gave a whimper as a reply, earning herself a chuckle. 'Did Li-kun just laugh?'
"Are you alone little fellow?"
'Why is Syaoran being so kind? Is he always like this with animals?' Sakura thought as she enjoyed Syaoran's ministrations. 'A little more to the left, ah that's the spot.' Ever since Sakura was chosen to be the Card Mistress Syaoran has been a little hostile toward Sakura. And now that he was being kind, 'Better enjoy it while I still can.'
Sakura was then surprised when she felt herself being lifted into the air. 'What the-?' "I guess I'll be taking you home with me, little fellow. And when we get home we'll have a nice HOT bath TOGETHER, what do you think? "
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Author's Note: Uh-oh so what's happens to Sakura now that Syaoran's planning to give her a nice HOT bath WITH him!
Please R/R and give me some suggestions on what you want to happen
(1) I know Japanese High school only has three years, but I'm not so sure…so will stick with the Western style of grading. However for their classes will stick with the Japanese style and that is: they're stuck in one room having the SAME classes. Understood? ;)
(2) I don't know what you call a baby wolf? Is it a pup?
Daijobou- I'm not so sure, but if this is mentioned in a questioning tone it means "Are you okay?" if it is mentioned like a statement it means "It's all right" or "Everything's all right." Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sumimasen- Excuse me/ my behavior, Pardon me, it's sometimes considered as sorry.
Nani- What?
