Authors Note: I wrote this last year, April 2002, and am just know getting around to typing it up and submitting it. This is my second Fan Fic. If you want to read more of my stuff, check out My Only Love. I'm really eager to put this up and let you read it so, you'll have to bear with me when it comes to getting new chapters out. I really don't like to submit stories without all the chapters ready for distribution and such, but I'm willing to make an exception. Maybe if I get lots of reviews it will motivate me to get the chapters typed up sooner ;)

Meilin: Just get on with the story already! Shesh, and I thought I was long winded!

Sakura Cherry Blossom: Sorry ^_^'
The Future of her Past
Summary: Sakura is transported to the future during a battle. While in the future she learns some things about her importance in the past.

Note: I t might get a little confusing. Basically everything that could be considered a flash back, Sakura reads in a diary she found. Also, I apologize in advance for the bad formatting.

Key: "."- speaking, *.*- thoughts

Chapter 1: Transported

A young girl of about 14 was tending the corn fields behind her families house when she heard a loud pop and then a crunch. She ran towards the sound and found a young woman, with auburn hair, lying in a heap on top of some mangled corn stalks. Enraged at the damage done to her families corn, the young girl yelled:

"What on earth do you think you are doing! You just ruined a days supply of corn! Without that corn we have nothing to trade for milk!"

The auburn hared girl stirred and blinked a few times at the bright sun. She groaned and tried to sit up. Once in a sitting position, she looked around at her surroundings.

"This sure doesn't look like King Penguin park. Where in the world am I?" The auburn hared girl asked.

"In my families corn field!" The young girl said, a vein popping from her forehead.

"I'm sorry if I ruined you corn. My name is Sakura." The auburn hared girl apologized.

The younger girl calmed down a bit before replying. "It's all right. My name is Nadi. That's short for Nadishiko. How did you get here?"

"Well I was fighting this evil creature with my friends, when a bright light appeared. Next thing I know, I'm falling from the sky. Luckily your corn stalks broke my fall." Sakura replied.

"What century are you from?" Nadi asked, looking at Sakura's clothes. Sakura was wearing a cross between the costume she wore to capture the Big card and the one she wore to capture the Shadow card.

Sakura didn't know how to answer. There may be too many questions to answer if she told the truth. "I'm from this century, just a different part of Japan."

"I'm surprised you recognized our city as being a part of Japan. Here in the 31st century, Tomeda looks so much different from the neighboring cities. You must come from one of the more advanced cities."

"I do." Sakura lied. She couldn't tell Nadi she was from the 21st century, because she wasn't sure how to explain about time travel.

"It's almost time for dinner. You can have dinner with us if you like." Nadi told Sakura.

"I'd love to." Sakura replied.

Nadi introduced Sakura to her mother, Suki, her father, Akane, and her little sister, Naoko. After supper, Nadi showed Sakura to what would be her room. The house was huge. It reminded Sakura of Tomoyo's house. Suki had explained that they rent rooms to people who need a place to stay. In exchange, the guests help with the house work. Since Sakura was an outsider, Suki explained to her why life was different in Tomoeda. Several years ago a man took over the leadership of Japan. Using Tokyo as his headquarters, he made a law that every one who swears allegiance to him will get the full benefits of the new technology he was producing. His technology would make life much easier. However, the people of Tomoeda refused to follow him. They believed his rule to be a dictatorship and that he was nothing more than a tyrannical ruler. As punishment, he made their lives miserable. Or so he thought. It got to a point where money no longer held any value in Tomoeda as nothing was allowed to come in or leave the city. The towns people then resorted to trading and bartering as a way to make ends meet. Over time everyone got used to it and it became a productive way of life.

Sakura looked around her room. She would need to blend in until she could find a way back home. She pulled out the Create card and created for herself everything she would need while here in this time. She was putting her created cloths away in a drawer when she spotted something. It looked like a diary to Sakura and she curiously opened the book. She decided to read the book before going to sleep. Once in her p.j.'s and in bed she opened the diary and began to read.

Dear Diary, This is my first entry and I feel the need to start writing in you. My heart is saddened and I cry myself to sleep every night. I take comfort in knowing my friends are just as miserable as I am. I should probably explain to you my sorrow. One month ago, I lost a very dear friend of mine. Someone I held very close to my heart. Her name was Sakura. I can still remember the day I lost her. We were fighting an evil being who was very powerful. Sakura and Li were doing their best to defeat him, but he was just too strong. Meilin and myself were doing the best we could to encourage them. The being looked like a man and he chanted something then unleashed a white light at Sakura. In an instant she vanished. We searched everywhere, but could not find her. After a month of searching, we eventually gave up and started the grieving process. None of us wanted to believe she was dead, especially Syaoran. Li Syaoran is going back to Hong Kong today. It's very emotional for all of us. Meilin will be staying here with us. Syaoran and I promised to stay in touch. I'm just glad I have Eriol. I'm not sure if I could survive alone. Please come back to us Sakura. We need you.

Yours truly, Daidouji Tomoyo

With tears in her eyes, Sakura closed the book. She didn't want to read anymore.
Sakura Cherry Blossom: so what did you think? Please send me reviews. It won't effect whether or not I post anymore of my story, but it will determine how soon they come out ;) As a side note, I know that most likely corn never has nor ever will grow in Japan, but for the sake of my fic lets just say they found a way to grow it.

Meilin: oooo your evil. Subliminal messages are outlawed!

Sakura Cherry Blossom: Says who?

Meilin: Me. (

Sakura Cherry Blossom: Well, this is my fic so, I think I get the last say. *Grins evilly while eyeing the delete button* It's very easy to delete you my friend.

Meilin: Now I'm scared.

Sakura Cherry Blossom: Good. 'Cause I didn't have to include you in this fic but I did. ;)
