Hey Guys!! I'm back! See, I told you I would be, would I lie to you? Is this the face of a lier...ok so what if I lie sometimes, I didn't this time though... ok so what if this isn't a story.. yeah you're right, it is. Sorry about how I'm acting (if you call this acting) but I had a coffee candy and I'm kinda hyper right now. Ok, this story is going to have a lot of songs in here. And it might not be that easy to follow. If you think it's confusing at some parts, tell me in your review (or flame) and I'll tell you in a simpler way. I know that this is a really lame title, but I'm not done the story so I couldn't name it. (I usually name it after it's done) so.enjoy the story!!

P.S. I am going to use the English names because it's just to hard to keep putting -chan and -kun and everything and I also watch the English version so it's just a lot easier for me. If you have any objections about this, please feel free to say so. ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS or any of the songs I put up unless I say otherwise.

Sakura and Li are in the ninth grade and they have captured all of the cards. Sakura has become the master of the Clow Cards and the gang now knows that Eli is the reincarnated form of Clow Reed. I know this is a really crappy summary but if I give you a good one, it'll tell you too much about the story, and we don't want that now do we?? ^_~





Changing The Past: For better or worse Chapter 1



"Sakura!!" a voice said as 14 year old Sakura Avalon walked into her grade nine homeroom which was math. (AN. *shudders* I hate math, it's my homeroom too!!)

"Hi Madison...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Sakura said as she sat down beside her best friend, Madison Taylor.

"Nothing. It's just that look who's behind you." Madison said with a smile.

Sakura turned around and saw her older brother Tori standing in the doorway of the classroom holding a paper bag. "Sakura, you forgot this. I've been calling your name ever since you left the house and I've been trying to catch up to you. Geez, you're fast when you're on your rollerblades." Tori handed Sakura her lunch and turned around, only to see Li standing in his way.

"YOU!!" both said in unison.

"What are you doing here?" Tori said, wrapping his hand around Li's neck.

"I go to this school. It's law that kids have to go to school. I knew you were stupid but I didn't think you were THIS stupid!" Li challenged as Tori's grip arouns his neck tightened.

Tori gave Li a glare that could kill. But to his surprise, Li smiled. "Ok, now I know for sure that you're stupid." He said. Li grabbed Tori's free hand as he did a flip, causing Tori's arm to turn around in it's socket, breaking.

"AHHHHH!!!" Tori howled in pain. He let go of Li and held his arm. "You son of a.."

"Tori!! Are you ok? Is it broken?" Sakura exclaimed before Tori could finish his profanity.

"Does it look like I'm ok? That s.o.b broke my arm!" Tori growled.

"Oh come on. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's broken, I didn't flip the right way so the worst that could've happened is that your arm is twisted or your arm came out of it's socket. Nothing major. The pain should go away in about 10 minutes. Consider your brother lucky Avalon." Li said matter-of- factly and sat down in his usual seat behind Sakura.

Tori gave Li another glare and stormed out of the classroom.

Sakura went over to Li and slapped him in the face. She slapped him with so much force that his head turned sideways quickly.

"Mind telling me what that was for?" LI said coolly. Sure she slapped him hard, but he had been through worse during his martial arts training.

"You've done some really cruel things Li Showron, but that was just down right cold! How could you do something like that without thinking of what it would cause the other person to feel?" Sakura said angrily.

"I said it wasn't broken. And it shouldn't have hurt that much for him to yell."

"Here's a bit of a newsflash Li, not all of us have been in martial arts ever since we were born! Not all of us are as cold, heartless, numb and emotionless as you are!"

After all of Sakura's rants about being so cold and cruel had LI ever thought about what she said. It hadn't even fazed him, but for some reason, this time, he knew she was right. Li bowed his head in genuine shame. "I'm..sorry Sakura. You're right, not everyone has been through what I've been through. Not everyone is as cold as me. But you're wrong about me being emotionless. I wouldn't be able to hate if I was. That's beside the point. I am sorry, about what I did to your brother. There was no reason why I couldn't just talked to him." And with that, Li turned away and started getting out his math homework.

Sakura looked at him in awe, and then guilt. "Li, it's ok. Anyways, he was strangling you. He had no right to do that. But, thank you Li for apologizing. Maybe your not as heartless as I thought you were in the first place."

"Well I wouldn't go that far Sakura." Li joked and to Sakura's amazement, he smiled one of his genuinely rare smile that made her melt in her chair.

Sakura smiled weakly and turned around quickly so LI wouldn't see her blushing.



After school...

"It's my Card! So you can just back off Avalon!" Li yelled as Sakura came flying with the Fly Card.(AN: They already had the final judgement, and they know that Eli is Clow Reed, but I have no idea what kind of card they were after. Just use your imagination ^_~)

"I was the one chosen by Clow Reed, so I'M the one that should get it!" Sakura argued as she landed.

"Well I was chosen by blood, so like I said before, back off!" Li challenged.

By the end of the night, Li and Sakura had left each other with bad impressions of the other and Li had gotten the card.

Give me time to reason,
give me time to think it through.
Passing through the season,
where I cheated you.
 
I will always have a cross to wear,
but the bolt reminds me I was there.
So give me strength,
to face this test of mine.
 
 
If only I could turn back time,
If only I had saved what I still had.
If only I could turn back time,
I would stay for the night... for the night.
 
 
Claim your right to science,
Claim your right to see the truth.
Though my pangs of conscience,
Will drill a hole in you.
 
I've seen it coming like a thief in the night,
I've seen it coming from the flesh of your light.
 
So give me strength,
to face this test of mine.
 
 
If only I could turn back time,
if only I had saved what I still had.
if only I could turn back time,
I would stay.
 
 
The bolt reminds me I was there
the bolt reminds me I was there



'Why am I always like that to her?' Li thought as he laid on his bed holding the newly sealed card in his hand. 'If only there was a way to change the past. I can't use the return card because that's Sakura's now.' Then Li got an idea. "Eli!" He said aloud.

"You rang?" Eli's head popped up out of nowhere like the Cheshire cat in Alice and Wonderland.

"What are you doing here Eli.wait, don't go. I have a question." Li said startled.

"Yeah yeah yeah, you want me to send you to the past so you can change things between you and Sakura. And you want me to put in a substitute here so no-one will notice you're gone. Did I guess correctly, because that was just a wild guess." Eli smirked.

"Can you?" Li asked. He knew that Eli had listened to his thoughts so he wasn't surprised that he knew his plan.

"Yes I can, but I'd have to go with you. But don't worry, I'll be invisible, except to you that is."

"Let do it." Li braced himself as Eli took Li and himself to the day that Li had arrived to Reedington Elementary.

"Today class, we will be joined by a transfer student from Hong Kong, his name is Li Showron. You may come in now Li." Mr. Terada said.

Li walked in and looked out to the class. 'There she is. Sitting in the same spot she's always been in.' he thought to himself.

"You may sit behind Sakura Avalon. Sakura, please stand up." Mr. Terada said.

Sakura stood up as Li walked towards her and smiled at him. "Hello Li." She smiled.

Li, knowing that he was here to change things replied, "Hello Sakura, I guess I'm gonna be sitting behind you for the rest of the year right?" Li also hesitantly smiled.

Sakura felt her face go red and her knees weak as he smiled at her. She couldn't talk so she nodded and sat in her seat.

'So far, so good.' Li thought to himself and sat down behind Sakura.
