CardCaptors: Temptation
Hidden Talent

"So, are you ready to head back Li?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. It was fun while it lasted, and we got lucky we got the dimension card so quickly. Remember it took us an entire month to finally catch this card?" Li said.
"Yeah...and I'm glad to have been 14 again..." Sakura said.
"I know, I've forgotten we both come from a different dimension for this one." Li said.
"Well, lets just head back now." Sakura said as she stepped back just enough so that Li was still within the circle of the spell she was going to cast.
"Dimension card, return us to our dimension, release and dispel!" Sakura said as the two instantly fell though the floor and landed on their feet back in their dimension. The card landed next to Sakura's foot and she put the card away.
We show Sakura and Li, now both at their right age, 16, and in the 11th grade. (AG:If you think that is young, im 15 and in 11th Grade, though by the time you read this, I'll be 16.)
"Going somewhere you two?" A voice caught Sakura and Li off guard.
"Madison!" Sakura said as she spun around.
"You should have known you accidentally brought me along when you decided to have your secret vacation." Madison said, as she pulled a certain tape out, which immediately caught the attention of both cardcaptors.
"So you accidentally got caught with Sakura on this little trip too?" Li asked.
"Li...aren't you concerned about the tape?" Sakura asked.
"Not at all. I snuck in Madison's house in the other dimension and switched the tapes. I destroyed the tape with you-know-what-footage." Li said.
"Well...anyway, since we didn't lose any time, can I ask you two something?" Madison asked.
"What is it, Madison?" Sakura said.
"The Cherry Blossom festival is coming up, and I'm assistant director of the festival this year, and one of our stage acts had to pull out." Madison said.
"Im not part of this." Li instantly said.
Madison ignored what Li said and continued, "Well, anyway, Can you two fill in? I'll be on stage with you two on keyboard, along with Eriol on base, and one of the new American exchange students doing drums."
"And I fit in where?" Sakura asked.
"You'll be doing vocals. Li-kun will be doing lead guitar." Madison said as she secretly winked to Li.
"No way am I doing lead guitar. I don't even know how to play a guitar." Li instantly said. Of course, Madison expected Li to lie.
"Well, you got about a week to learn Li-kun, because I already signed you two up. We already know we are going to perform once song, but we need another song. I also know your writing a few songs Li, don't hide it." Madison said.
"What! Im not writing any songs! I don't know the faintest how to even sing that good." Li said.
"Then what is this Li-kun?" Madison said as she held up a small notebook, and she opened it to reveal lyrics to songs, with Li's signature and handwriting on each one.
"Okay, I confess...can I have that back?" Li asked, as Madison gave the notebook back.
"I really like the one you havent finished yet. I think it was called It's my life." Madison said. "I can imagine Sakura singing that one."
"Can I see it Li?" Sakura asked.
"No way! This is really personal. You should have just given it back Madison." Li said offended that Madison read it.
"Are you going to do the festival, or should I list every song dedicated to--"
"Okay okay! You win..." Li said admitting defeat and hanging his head.
"How about you Sakura? How about it?" Madison asked.
"But...I've never really sang before Madison..." Sakura said.
"Sakura, how can you say that. I remember you singing in the shower! You have such a good voice!" Madison said.
"I dont think im that good...actually...I dont think im that good at all..." Sakura said pushing her two forefingers together.
"Sakura, are you going to let Li-kun show you up?" Madison said, playing on both Sakura and Li's weaknesses, competition.
"No way!" Sakura said as a certain Li took the time to try to escape.
"Li-kun! Before you go, can you at least show her the song?" Madison said as Li almost got around the corner.
"NO! I mean...not yet...not until I finish it!" Li said as he ran off.
"Well Sakura, I'll see you at practice tomarrow, it'll be at 4:00 PM at my house, and can you call Li-kun to tell him that? Well, see ya!" Madison said immediately and ran off.
"Man...didnt even get the chance to back out..." Sakura said as she walked home.
*****************
"Li?" Sakura asked on the phone.
"Sakura? What's going on?" Li asked.
"Well...since we got pulled into this whole festival act thing, Madison said the practice was tomarrow." Sakura said.
"Okay. Well, I'll see you---"
"And Li?"
"What?"
"Can I say over at your place for tonight?"
"Why?"
"I...I...just want to work on the song with you." Sakura said lyingly.
"No, it's okay, I dont need the--" Li said.
"Li, it's okay, I told my dad I'm going to Madison's house and she'll cover for me. I'm going to get my skates and head over there. See ya." Sakura said quickly and hung up.
"Man...didnt even get the chance to tell her not to come." Li said as he roamed his eyes over his room, and 'Sakura' caught his glance. He still remembers that day well. It still wasnt easy to admit his feelings to her. 'One day at a time Li...' Li said to himself as his doorbell rang.
He immediately went and opened the door and Sakura jumped right into his arms, the smell of cherry blossom tree's intoxicating him.
"I'm so glad to see you Li." Sakura said still holding him tightly as the front door closed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Sakura] Hey Sakura here. Next time on Cardcaptors:Tempation, you'll want to find out what happens in Li's house right? Of course, the arrival of the temptation card really shakes things up. So read+reply, just notify Mr. AnimeGamer there are enough people reading his story so he'll put up the next part okay?
-------------------------
Well, there you go. Also to note, "It's my Life" is an actual CCS song BTW, and you can find it on Napster if you have it. It's one of my new favorite songs along with some other Anime songs, mostly Marmalade Boy songs because the music of that series was sooooo good. I'm trying to get some songs from this anime also. Also, type in your recommends for songs I should get from this series, and the one that get's the most requests will be the other song that will be sung by Sakura & co. Also, I need a band name for them, so come up with the best name you can and I'll choose one out of all of them.
As much as I hate to do this, I'm forced to do it. I'll wont put up the next part until I get 10 replies okay! (You guys are so hard when it comes down to this. My highest review count has been 4! You guys are really harsh...)Well, until then, c-ya.

*Explaination: For those who didnt get what happened in the beginning. You have to read Alternate Universe first! Okay, done that? Now, you see, the Sakura used the dimension card and it got away and well, I'll leave you guessing what happened, since it'll be explained in later parts. Dont you love flashbacks?
*Special thanks to Digidynasty, since I just HAD to use the idea of music for this story. So, please read his stories, including "Love on Horseback."
Just to note, please review my story in the Chrono Cross board called "Chrono Cross: The girl that was always his..." I feel that has been my best short story work I have done yet, so please review it, arigato!
*Disclaimer: I do not own CardCaptors or anything associated to it, even merchandise. So dont sue.
