Hello, minna-san! This is the first fanfic I've ever posted on FF.net, so I hope you like it. I just have to get a few things out of the way first.

Disclaimer – these characters do not belong to me, they belong to their respective owners (though I sure wished I owned them! ^_^!) So don't sue me (and you'll just be wasting your time, too) 'cuz I'm just your poor average person with lots of more important things to do than write fanfiction but, alas, nothing better to do. But I do get the story, at least…yay!

In my story, "Can I Tell You Aishiteru?" the timeline is a bit different. For one, Sakura and Syaoran are a lot older – I think the Clow Cards got released when they were in about 7th grade, not 4th. I think that makes for a more serious story and believable relationship (although, sadly, Sakura DOES lose some of her child's ways in here, though I never meant for that to happen – but, thankfully, she's pretty much the same as she always was!) I also made Sakura's hair just a TEENY bit longer, so now it's just to her shoulders (think Ami-chan from Sailor Moon StarS manga #1 – 3!) And also, the hair which comes to the front of her face is not so…gravity- defying. If you've ever seen the cover of "The Book of Sakura – Sakura Card season," (the one with her in the dress from her grandfather and holding Syaoran bear in her lap?) that's what I want her hair to look like. An animated version of the manga (drawn exactly like it!).

Naturally, everyone is a bit older, so their bodies are a bit more…*ahem*…developed, I guess I can say.

I would really appreciate feedback on what you think of my story, since I started it some two years ago, and back then my writing wasn't good at all. Constructive criticism please! Flames aren't nice, they're just dirty, and people shouldn't leave those, anyway. It hurts others people's feelings. Feedback appreciated (as always! : p!) I should be done with this story in a week, so please don't ask me to update, 'cuz I'll get around to it! ^_^!

Just a WEENY bit of OOCness

Evident pairing here is S+S, along with some E+T and hints of Y+C (Yamazaki + Chiharu – I DID NOT MAKE THEM COUSINS AND THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!)

Sometimes the Japanese version crosses over with the American one – like, for instance, about the Dash card, it's still nicknamed "Hoppy," from Jessie, so I hope you don't mind things like these.

If you know anyone else who likes CCS, please tell them to read my story so I can get well-rounded feedback. Thank you, it's very much appreciated!!! ^o^!



Now, with these done, on to the story…!
