Past, Present, Future in One
Chapter One: Going Back
"Mum, do we really have to go?" A little four-year-old girl with auburn hair and amber eyes asked
"Yeah, do we have to Dad?" The girl's twin brother asked. He had unruly chestnut hair and forest-emerald eyes.
"I'm sorry you guys, but we can't risk going back when we were there, that's like having three us'es in one time." Their mother replied softly.
"Besides, it should be a lot of fun for you two to go back in time, meet the younger versions of us and watch us capture the wolf cards." Their father added.
"But we're gonna miss you so much!" The girl argued
"We'll miss you too sweety, so will the whole clan but you have to do this, for us, it's not so hard just follow us and find out who followed us back in time then back to the future again." Their mother explained
"Come on, please. We know you can do this with the help of both the Wolf cards and the Star cards besides, when you come back it'll only be a few minutes after this." The father added
"But I don't get it Dad, why were your 16 yr old selves in the past when catching the Syaoran cards using the Sakura cards?" The little boy asked
"Hey we changed the names, they're Wolf and Star cards now, and they belong to the family, not just us." Sakura interrupted
"Okay, about you question, let's just say there was an accident and we were so nicely given the responsibility to catch them in the past." Syaoran answered, trying not to growl at the thought of how they got into that mess.
"Do your best we're going to miss you too, even though we'll be seeing you in a few minutes." Sakura encouraged
"Okay, we'll miss you too!" Cherry replied cutely
"Bye Father, bye Mother" Xiao Rae said as maturely as he could.
"Hey you haven't gone anywhere yet, we deserve the goodbyes!" Yelan stated proudly, while entering the room with Syaoran's four sisters, Kero and Hera (you'll know hu she is l8a).
"Are we ready?" Sakura asked, everyone nodded so she said "Bye Yelan, Kero, Fuutie, Xiefie and everyone else (I dunno how to spell anymore..lol) then chanted
"I call upon the power of my star Ancient forces near and far Shine all your might And draw your power from my light Release Move card take us to Japan!"
With that the family of four reappeared at the park that held so many memories to both she and Syaoran. They walked up to the penguin playground.
"Okay, you have all the help of the Wolf cards and the Star cards, be careful, watch out for each other and make sure that nobody suspicious catches you. Tell the 16yr old us'es that you are from the future but don't tell them you're our kids. Make sure no one finds out your true identity and catch a ride to the 16 yr old us' time and when you find out who followed them, tell us to help you kill him or her or it, show them your powers, but remember you can only show them when your ready to kill whoever followed us okay? Also-"
"Syaoran, give them a break, be careful and I hope you know the chants kids." Sakura simplified
"Yes Mummy, we know and we won't tell anyone our names and we won't talk to strangers!"
"I'll miss you both Father and Mother,
Elements of the world from north to south, east to west I call upon you now, do your best Sword transform, unleash your power Strengths arise, Spirits tower!" (LoL, I made that up)
At that a sword materialized in his hands, Xiao Rae smirked a smirk very alike one Syaoran would which made Sakura smile.
"Last goo'byes!" Cherry exclaimed hugging both Sakura and Syaoran tightly
"Bye sweety, and you too Xiao Rae" Sakura smiled
"Bye champ, bye Cherry" Syaoran said
"Forces around I call upon the wolf card 'instance' (Instance is a much stronger version of time that can take you back in time) Take Cherry and I 13 years back in the past, to when mother and father were just 10!"
Bright light illuminated from Xiao Rae's wand, soon enough both he and Cherry were engulfed by the light. Then they disappeared in the light, when the light disappeared so did the children.
"Do you think that they can do this Syaoran?" Sakura asked burying her face in her 24 year old husband's chest causing him to wrap his arms around her.
"Of course they can, they're our kids, and I just wish we didn't have to put them through this, this is s'posed to be our responsibility." Syaoran answered ensuringly.
"I know, I hope they remember the chant that would alter everyone's memories to make it as if nothing's changed. I know that when we were time traveling, I definitely found it hard to remember!" Sakura giggled
"Let's just hope that I passed on my good memories to them, with your ability to remember things, they'll have no hope in getting back here without forgetting to do something important!" Syaoran teased making Sakura slap him playfully
They laughed for a while wondering how their kids were doing in the past.
~*~*~*~*~Xiao Rae and Cherry~*~*~*~*~
"Where are we Xiao Rae, I'm scared!" Cherry cried as a screen that looked like a bubble with a rewinding image appeared. It looked like a something being rewinded and they were in a dark room enlightened only by Blue and Orange lights (Xiao Rae's aura thing is Blue and Cherry's is orange-lol I've never seen an orange Cherry *_*^ *laughs at the sorry excuse of a joke*)
"It's okay Cherry, we'll be out of here soon enough, and we get to see Mother and Father when they were young! Maybe we'll get to see how strong they were back then!" Xiao Rae comforted
"Okay, thank you so much otou-san, I'm so glad that you're always there to help me out!" Cherry thanked hugging her older buy two hours brother.
"It's okay, you are my little sister after all, and I would do anything in my power to make sure that you're okay." Xiao Rae replied returning the hug.
At that point they came to a stop. The twins could see the bubble had a clear image, they same place that they had left before, but the surroundings had changed, they looked older.
"I think this would be our stop Cherry." Xiao Rae stated
"Okay, let's step out and see what Japan's like!" Cherry suggested, she grabbed her big brother hand and stepped through the bubble, "Wow! Japan is really pretty!" She exclaimed really childishly.
"Yea, Japan is very nice, No wonder Mother and Father stayed here for so long." Xiao Rae commented before he sensed some magic.
Obviously Cherry had sensed it too because her head perked up and she looked around frantically. As if they had this silent communication, they both got up and followed the magic they had sensed.
"Hey that magical surge that we're sensing, doesn't it feel like Mom's dash card? But it seems weaker..." Cherry commented
"It probably is the dash, but remember this is way back in time and frankly over the years the cards grew stronger." Xiao Rae replied.
Then they came to a halt when they saw a bike racing away with no rider. It was racing at a very fast pace and was steady. "That's the Dash card!" Cherry exclaimed as childishly as a four-year-old would.
"Quick get out of the way, little Mom's coming!" Xiao Rae yelled pulling her into someone's front yard as well as ducking behind the fence.
They stayed there hiding their aura and watched. Soon enough they saw a young version of their mother, rollerblading after the bike, phone in hand and fly-thing on side of head. Suddenly their head perked up again as they felt some other strong force. It was barely recognizable but these kids could recognize it through anything.
"That's Mommy and Daddy's aura!" Cherry exclaimed
"Yeah, I'd recognize their aura from anywhere! Although their hiding their aura and I can sense they've covered it, put another coating of something else to make it hard to read." Xiao Rae agreed
"Let's go and see Mother and Father capturing a Wolf card, instead of watching Dash transform into a Sakura card." Cherry suggested
"Yea, Madison already showed us a video of Kero explaining what happened so let's see something new!" Xiao Rae stated. At this Cherry fingered her tiny camera that Madison had given her to record cool scenes. It was a mini spy camera, so small you can stick it practically everywhere.
They snuck out of the scene and headed towards the strong auras they felt on the other side of the town. As they kept running (very fast dash and speed being used - speed is a wolf card) they stopped in front of a primary school.
"Hera, what is it?" 16-yr-old version of Sakura asked a light purple winged stuffed toy that looked too alike Kero.
"Master, I'm so sorry I have failed you! I should have been a better guardian! I'm so sorry!" The purple toy pleaded to the opening doors of the school ignoring Sakura's question.
"Hera! Snap out of it, I can sense something! I know it's a card!" 16-yr- old-Syaoran stated.
"Hey, I'm going to pull out my sealing wand, just get her to snap out of it! I call upon the power of my star Ancient forces near and far Show me all of your might And draw your power from my light Release!"
"Sakura, try Lightning! Hera is way too distracted and delusional! She can't hear a thing I'm saying" Syaoran called with his sword in his hand.
"Right! Lightning, attack these unknown cards. LIGHTNING!" Sakura commanded
Lightning formed in her wand as it advanced to the spot where the cards were supposed to be, but unfortunately it was reflected causing Sakura to call upon jump and merely escaping.
"That was too close for comfort, what now Syaoran?" Sakura questioned "Let me try. Lightning, COME TO MY AID!" Syaoran commanded a piece of paper with ancient scripts written on it.
Lightning did come and zap the big air of nothing before Hera. It zaps and a maiden wearing old fashioned clothes and an apron holding what looked like a ball appeared. It smiled too sweetly before it put its hands over the ball and chanted something discreet to everyone but herself, When it finished off its hands were directed to Sakura.
Sakura seemed to get dizzy and soon tears formed in her eyes. She fell to her knees sobbing as Syaoran ran to her and knelt next to her, hugging her.
"NO!" Sakura whispered hoarsly reaching out her hand to something in front of her.
"Sakura, Sakura it's okay, what you're seeing is not happening!" Syaoran assured, but it didn't seem to work. So he pulled her into a deep passionate kiss, which seemed to calm her a bit, but didn't stop tiles forming from beneath her.
~*~*~*~*~On a branch~*~*~*~*~ 'Auntie Tomoyo would be very pleased to see this, even if it is a little bumpy' Cherry thought, making sure the camera caught everything.
"Eww! That's so gross. We're too young to see this stuff!" Xiao Rae complained
"No one said you had to watch it, besides I think it's kind of romantic." Cherry retorted folding her arms cutely.
"You wouldn't know romantic if it came and hit you on the head." Xiao Rae murmured under his breath, but Cherry heard.
"Hey I heard that big brother! You don't have to be so mean about it. Besides why are you complaing to me about it, Mommy and Daddy are the ones who are kissing! Cherry pouted cutely making Xiao Rae smirk and get back into the battle before them.
~*~*~*~*~Back to the Battle~*~*~*~*~ "Syaoran, she won't snap out of it unless the card is distracted, like I was. It has me hypnotized, meaning this card is really strong!" Hera called.
Syaoran nodded at his guardian's statement but Sakura had already passed out in his arms, tears still rolling down her cheek. He wiped the tears away gently and slowly lowered her from his lap down to the ground because he had to fight the card.
"Fire, COME TO MY AID!" Syaoran directed as fire came from his sword engulfing the figure. He saw that it was trapped so he called out again "Unknown card, return to your power confined!"
The maiden figure disintegrated and slowly and reappeared in the form of a card on Syaoran's sword. After that it flew in his hand and read 'Delusion,' the maiden and the ball staring out and smiling happily. Syaoran sighed a sigh of relief but the card started to glow again and materialize into 2 cards, Foresee and Make. "What happened?" Syaoran demanded Hera
"There is no such card as Delusion, Foresee, which is a card like Sakura's illusion, but stronger and can foretell the future however cannot reveal everything to its owner, and of course make, a card like the create but much stronger. Anyways Make and Foresee merge and create and illusional card that seems real in your head. Make creates the surrounding to make it more realistic, that's why Sakura seemed to have an airport formed around her," Hera explained, "Anyways, if the person seeing the illusion believes what's happening, the make part of delusion can create what's happening and turn it to reality which is very scary."
Syaoran nodded but went to Sakura who was still on the ground. He carefully lifted Sakura's head to his lap and caressed her hair and face.
"Sakura?" Syaoran whispered softly while brushing the back of his hand on her face.
Sakura stirred but was still in deep sleep, so he decided to carry her back to the little apartment they had rented out which was only 7 blocks away from the scene of the card. (Syaoran is really healthy okay and 7 blocks is nothing!)
~*~*~*~*~Cherry & Xiao Rae~*~*~*~*~ "It's getting late, we don't have anywhere to stay!" Cherry stated with her cute baby voice even though she was trying to sound serious.
"Good Point, Mother and Father gave us money to stay at a hotel." Xiao Rae replied
"But we don't know where we can stay, let's just bump into Mommy and Daddy!" Cherry suggested.
"Then what next, tell them that we know them and we're their future kids?" Xiao Rae asked sarcastically, thinking that his little sister's idea was silly before even considering it.
"You haven't even given my idea a chance!" Cherry argued, knowing he didn't even bother to think about it, "Besides what are we going to do? Show up in some hotel asking for the biggest room and flash all our money in front of them, if we were in the future it would have been okay, 'cause everyone knows we're rich, but here we don't even exist!" She reasoned trying to sound annoyed and angry but sounded very cute.
"Okay what do you suppose we do?" Xiao Rae asked hesitantly folding his arms and rolling his eyes.
"This!" Cherry replied happily grabbing his hand and pulling him down the tree.
~*~*~*~*~15mins later~*~*~*~*~ "Hey! Could you please wait?" Cherry called out
"Hoe?" Sakura gasped turning around when 2 kids ran towards them, well one girl was running as well as dragging the boy behind her.
Seeing the suspicious looks plastered on their faces, both Cherry and Xiao Rae made sure that their auras were completely hidden. They had also used a potion to make their auras impossible to sense but just in case, I mean these two happened to be their parents.
"Oh! I'm so sorry Miss," Cherry apologized looking down at her feet.
Xiao Rae getting it also bowed down and added, "Please don't hurt us, we are so far away from home and we mistook you for our parents."
"It's okay; do you know where you live?" Syaoran asked nicely.
"Well, not really. You see we don't really have a home nearby here," Cherry stated truthfully, with the cute voice she had.
"How come?" Sakura asked politely but also wondering why they didn't have a home.
Seeing that his little sister was stumped he quickly explained, "We were kidnapped and we heard our parents say they would look for us no matter what." He then looked at his feet.
"Then what?" Syaoran asked softly, who couldn't help but feel attached to the children even though they had never met before.
"Well Mommy was crying, we saw her through the window while the bossy one went out to ask Mommy for something, something about leaving Daddy and Daddy said 'no way.' They started yelling but I know Mommy and Daddy are coming for us, they love US!!" Cherry sobbed as she began to cry.
Sakura kneeled down to the little girl and hugged her. "Shh," Sakura chided as the girl hugged her tightly. Strangely Sakura felt as if she knew these kids from somewhere."
"I told you, when those men held out that thing it was a gun, and it Mom and Dad.are gone" Xiao Rae said in a matter-of-factly tone but with a hurt voice. "I can't believe I had my hopes up again, I knew it was impossible that they were still alive." He whispered angrily but sadly brushing off their incredibly dirty clothes, they became dirty with the help of some cards.
Sakura and Syaoran felt sorry for the two kids and looked at each other before Syaoran made an offer to the kids.
"Hey, do you two wanna crash at our place?" Syaoran offered
"If you two don't mind sharing a bed and we'll get you cleaned up too," Sakura added, "We have some little clothes that our little cousins left behind." Sakura fibbed though she knew it was a white lie so the kids wouldn't get suspicious of the create card.
Cherry and Xiao Rae smiled brightly and their faces immediately lit up.
"Really?" Cherry asked excitedly
Sakura and Syaoran could only nod at the girl's brightness. It reminded Syaoran of Sakura so much, but he didn't understand how. Xiao Rae smiled gratefully and bowed saying "Thankyou so much" while Cherry ran up to Sakura screaming "I love You" and hugged her, making Sakura carry Cherry.
Syaoran saw the shocked face on Xiao Rae's face so he patted the little boy's back and in doing so he noticed for the first time the boy's forest evergreen eyes. When he saw his eyes, he thought of Sakura. At that moment he realized something was definitely special about those kids.
Syaoran took the boy's hand and they began to walk the remaining block to the apartment.

Chapter One: Going Back
"Mum, do we really have to go?" A little four-year-old girl with auburn hair and amber eyes asked
"Yeah, do we have to Dad?" The girl's twin brother asked. He had unruly chestnut hair and forest-emerald eyes.
"I'm sorry you guys, but we can't risk going back when we were there, that's like having three us'es in one time." Their mother replied softly.
"Besides, it should be a lot of fun for you two to go back in time, meet the younger versions of us and watch us capture the wolf cards." Their father added.
"But we're gonna miss you so much!" The girl argued
"We'll miss you too sweety, so will the whole clan but you have to do this, for us, it's not so hard just follow us and find out who followed us back in time then back to the future again." Their mother explained
"Come on, please. We know you can do this with the help of both the Wolf cards and the Star cards besides, when you come back it'll only be a few minutes after this." The father added
"But I don't get it Dad, why were your 16 yr old selves in the past when catching the Syaoran cards using the Sakura cards?" The little boy asked
"Hey we changed the names, they're Wolf and Star cards now, and they belong to the family, not just us." Sakura interrupted
"Okay, about you question, let's just say there was an accident and we were so nicely given the responsibility to catch them in the past." Syaoran answered, trying not to growl at the thought of how they got into that mess.
"Do your best we're going to miss you too, even though we'll be seeing you in a few minutes." Sakura encouraged
"Okay, we'll miss you too!" Cherry replied cutely
"Bye Father, bye Mother" Xiao Rae said as maturely as he could.
"Hey you haven't gone anywhere yet, we deserve the goodbyes!" Yelan stated proudly, while entering the room with Syaoran's four sisters, Kero and Hera (you'll know hu she is l8a).
"Are we ready?" Sakura asked, everyone nodded so she said "Bye Yelan, Kero, Fuutie, Xiefie and everyone else (I dunno how to spell anymore..lol) then chanted
"I call upon the power of my star Ancient forces near and far Shine all your might And draw your power from my light Release Move card take us to Japan!"
With that the family of four reappeared at the park that held so many memories to both she and Syaoran. They walked up to the penguin playground.
"Okay, you have all the help of the Wolf cards and the Star cards, be careful, watch out for each other and make sure that nobody suspicious catches you. Tell the 16yr old us'es that you are from the future but don't tell them you're our kids. Make sure no one finds out your true identity and catch a ride to the 16 yr old us' time and when you find out who followed them, tell us to help you kill him or her or it, show them your powers, but remember you can only show them when your ready to kill whoever followed us okay? Also-"
"Syaoran, give them a break, be careful and I hope you know the chants kids." Sakura simplified
"Yes Mummy, we know and we won't tell anyone our names and we won't talk to strangers!"
"I'll miss you both Father and Mother,
Elements of the world from north to south, east to west I call upon you now, do your best Sword transform, unleash your power Strengths arise, Spirits tower!" (LoL, I made that up)
At that a sword materialized in his hands, Xiao Rae smirked a smirk very alike one Syaoran would which made Sakura smile.
"Last goo'byes!" Cherry exclaimed hugging both Sakura and Syaoran tightly
"Bye sweety, and you too Xiao Rae" Sakura smiled
"Bye champ, bye Cherry" Syaoran said
"Forces around I call upon the wolf card 'instance' (Instance is a much stronger version of time that can take you back in time) Take Cherry and I 13 years back in the past, to when mother and father were just 10!"
Bright light illuminated from Xiao Rae's wand, soon enough both he and Cherry were engulfed by the light. Then they disappeared in the light, when the light disappeared so did the children.
"Do you think that they can do this Syaoran?" Sakura asked burying her face in her 24 year old husband's chest causing him to wrap his arms around her.

"Okay, thank you so much otou-san, I'm so glad that you're always there to help me out!" Cherry thanked hugging her older buy two hours brother.

"Hera, what is it?" 16-yr-old version of Sakura asked a light purple winged stuffed toy that looked too alike Kero.
"Master, I'm so sorry I have failed you! I should have been a better guardian! I'm so sorry!" The purple toy pleaded to the opening doors of the school ignoring Sakura's question.
"Hera! Snap out of it, I can sense something! I know it's a card!" 16-yr- old-Syaoran stated.
"Hey, I'm going to pull out my sealing wand, just get her to snap out of it! I call upon the power of my star Ancient forces near and far Show me all of your might And draw your power from my light Release!"

"Then what?" Syaoran asked softly, who couldn't help but feel attached to the children even though they had never met before.
"Well Mommy was crying, we saw her through the window while the bossy one went out to ask Mommy for something, something about leaving Daddy and Daddy said 'no way.' They started yelling but I know Mommy and Daddy are coming for us, they love US!!" Cherry sobbed as she began to cry.
Sakura kneeled down to the little girl and hugged her. "Shh," Sakura chided as the girl hugged her tightly. Strangely Sakura felt as if she knew these kids from somewhere."
"I told you, when those men held out that thing it was a gun, and it Mom and Dad.are gone" Xiao Rae said in a matter-of-factly tone but with a hurt voice. "I can't believe I had my hopes up again, I knew it was impossible that they were still alive." He whispered angrily but sadly brushing off their incredibly dirty clothes, they became dirty with the help of some cards.
Sakura and Syaoran felt sorry for the two kids and looked at each other before Syaoran made an offer to the kids.
"Hey, do you two wanna crash at our place?" Syaoran offered
"If you two don't mind sharing a bed and we'll get you cleaned up too," Sakura added, "We have some little clothes that our little cousins left behind." Sakura fibbed though she knew it was a white lie so the kids wouldn't get suspicious of the create card.
Cherry and Xiao Rae smiled brightly and their faces immediately lit up.
"Really?" Cherry asked excitedly
Sakura and Syaoran could only nod at the girl's brightness. It reminded Syaoran of Sakura so much, but he didn't understand how. Xiao Rae smiled gratefully and bowed saying "Thankyou so much" while Cherry ran up to Sakura screaming "I love You" and hugged her, making Sakura carry Cherry.
Syaoran saw the shocked face on Xiao Rae's face so he patted the little boy's back and in doing so he noticed for the first time the boy's forest evergreen eyes. When he saw his eyes, he thought of Sakura. At that moment he realized something was definitely special about those kids.
Syaoran took the boy's hand and they began to walk the remaining block to the apartment.
