disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN CCS OR CARDCAPTORS, AND WITH MY ON AND OFF WRITER'S BLOCK I NEVER WILL.

AN: Sorry this took so long. I went on vacation.

AN2: I'm not going to put in the violent "Tory kicking Li's can" scene. I can e-mail it to anyone who asks for it in the review if you really want. I can make it as violent as asked for. (I'm pretty good at the violence scenes.)


A Second Chance
The Decision
by BlahBlahBlah (Got rid of the numbers)



Prince Li felt like he had fallen over a cliff, died and came back, and was suffering from a hangover all at the same time. His whole body hurt. Some places there was a stabbing pain, others there was a ache, and others there was a prickling pain. He had bruises in places he didn't think could bruise. 'Why didn't I fight back!?' Li though anrily to himself. Deep down he knew. It would have only led to more trouble. Sakura might have never forgiven him, Tory would hate him even more, and he would lose the respect of Sakura's father. Li couldn't bare it if that happened. He would never forgive himself if it did.

The young prince rested his head against a tree near the brook. Waiting for Sakura, even though it was way too early, he didn't want to be late. He could barely move, but if Sakura forgave him he would probably get up and dance.

(Avalon Residence)


Dry eyes were staring at the ceiling. All cried out, Sakura barely blinked. Barely moved. Barely thought. Anything would bring the tears back. The sun was high in the sky and Sakura hadn't moved from the bed.

Tomoyo, Rita, Chelsea, and Nikki came over. Mr.Avalon told them what happened. "I new she was going to get hurt. She was going so fast into the relationship and Dimitri was too perfect," Tomoyo explained. When she said 'Going too fast into the relationship' Aden gave Tomoyo a curious and worried look. "Oh, don't worry. They didn't go THAT far. They basically stopped at a lot of kissing." Tomoyo answered to Mr.Avalon's unspoken question. "I knew that Prince Li was horrible," Nikki stated. "Yeah, he was a real jerk to Sakura to lie to her. She's too good for him," Rika added in. "How dare he!" said the only one who hadn't spoken yet.

Mr. Avalon never did let them go in the room. In truth he thought it would have been to trumatic to see Sakura so anguished. He made he some soup for her later. She ate it when she felt better. Then she fell asleep. It was a tearless sleep, unlike the sleep before. Of this Aden was glad.

(Then sun just went down, the brook)


Sakura pushed her way through the brush to the grass near the creek. There she saw Li asleep. She had decide to tell him "no". She couldn't bare to be around him. She would never see him again if she wasn't forced to.

Shaking Li's shoulder lightly she whispered, "Sir, Sir, I have your answer." He didn't stir. She shook harder. He didn't move other to sway under her light push. "Li," she screamed. "Li speak to me!" she started to cry as nothing happened, "Wake up, Li. Wake up! Please Li, wake up! Oh no, he's not..." Sakura began to gasp for breath through her tears. She leaned him up and saw a puddle of blood underneath him. "No, LI , please don't be dead!!!!"

(Bwahahahahah, It would be REALLY cruel if I ended the chapter there)


Sakura quickly felt for a pulse. There was a pulse, but it was very faint. Sakura ripped the bottom of her dress and her sleeves off for bandages. She quickly and tightly covered the wounds with the cloth so the bleeding would stop, then force him to drink the water that Sakura got from the brook under the ice. She also used crushed ice for the bruises.

It was almost morning when Li began to stir. Coming back to life, he looked up into the curious and worried emerald eyes of his love. "Oh no, I've died, haven't I. This must be my heaven because my angel is staring down at me," Li reasoned. "No," Sakura giggled, "you're still here on earth, and I'm afraid you're still stuck with me in your face than your angel." "Well then, that's even better!" Li reached up to kiss sakura, but felt a horrible pain and had to lay back down. "Rest. My brother beat you pretty hard, and It's all my fault!" Sakura started to cry. Li reached up and caressed her face, "It's not your fault. It's mine. I lied to you, and you didn't deserve that. I hope you forgave me. What was your answer?" Li asked hopefully. "My answer was 'No", Sakura said, and held his hand to her face. The prince's face fell. Sadness replaced the hope. "But I changed my mind. When I thought you were dead I realized just how much you mean to me. I never want to lose you again."

Sakura leaned down so Li didn't have to sit up and kissed him passionately. Both were in ecstasy found in each other's lips. They kissed until Li's wounds forced him to stop. Both knew it was going to turn out all right.

(A month later)


Madison was sticking pins the flowing white material. Sakura stood up on a stool so Madison could get at the hem. "You look like an angel," Madison commented cheerfully. "Li's going to love the dress too," she added when she saw the look on Sakura's face. "I hope so," Sakura looked into the mirror next to her.

The dress was beautiful. The whitest silk went over her upper curves and flowed loosely as not to reveal her lower ones. The wave shaped neckline commented her collar bones, but wasn't at all sluttish. There was no cleavage at all. The sleeves cascaded loosely over her arms and over her hands. There was a triangle cut in the bottom of the sleeves that came up to Sakura's wrists.

After Tomoyo was finished pin pricking, Sakura changed back into a casual red and gold frock and went down to the throne room to find Li.

Li was helping put decorations up when Sakura got there. Climbing down from a large latter to meet her he waved to his fiancé. When she got to him he picked her up and spun her around. After he put her down he asked, "How did the fitting go? Did Madison prick you to death?" Sakura giggled. "The fitting went well. I don't think I'm pricked to death. Do I look it?" Sakura joked. "You always look like an angel to me," Li flattered and gave Sakura a light kiss on the lips.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SON!?!?!?!?!?!" The king bellowed into the hall. He stormed up to Sakura. "I...I...I..." Sakura was scared out of her wits by the king. "Well, it doesn't matter. You fixed him, so I don't care!" The king was smiling to Sakura's surprise. King Roland ruffled his son's hair with a chuckle. "Dad," Li whined with a blush.

(A few Days later)

Sakura walked down the isle with the biggest smile on her face. Tory sat in the front row grumbling. Madison had tears in her eyes. Aden was beaming with joy at his daughter and VERY soon to be son-in-law. The King and Queen of Dracoris were so happy that their soon had been brought down off his high horse. Li's sisters kept commenting on how cute their new sister was. And Li waiting patiently for his love at the end of the isle.

The priest completed the ceremony in perfect order. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, King and Queen of Dracoris. You may now kiss the bride."
