Chapter 3

* So, lately been wondering

* Who will be there to take my place?

"Li-kun! I caught it!" Sakura ran up to the prone body of twelve year old Li Syoaran. "Li-kun, Li-kun!" She shook his shoulder, her emerald eyes worried. "Wake up Li-kun." She smiled when he groaned and opened his eyes. "Li-kun, are you okay?"

Syoaran sat up the confused expression on his face bringing his eyebrows together, "Sakura-chan?"

"Sakura!"

Sakura turned to see Kero-chan flying towards them, "Nani Kero-chan?"

"I feel strange magic surrounding the gaki."

Syoaran smiled, "That would be because I'm not your Li-kun."

"Then who are you?" Sakura asked confused.

"Li Xiao Lang, age twenty-five, husband of Kinomoto Sakura-chan and father of the soon to be born Li Nadeshiko-chan."

"Hoe?"

"Nani?!?!"

Syoaran laughed in Kero-chan's face. "That's right teddy bear, I'm not who you thought I was am I."

"You're laughing Li-kun. I've never heard you laugh before."

Syoaran looked at Sakura and smiled, a slight blush on his cheeks. "It's all because of you Sakura-chan, my Ying Fa."

"How romantic!"

Sakura laughed when Syoaran's blush deepened. "Tomoyo-chan."

"Konbonwa Li-kun."

"Where is Eriol-kun?"

"Eriol.um.oh. Hiiragazawa-kun. Why would he be here?"

Syoaran scowled at Tomoyo. "Who did you think did this?"

"Doesn't smell like Clow Reed's magic, but it kinda does." Kero-chan scratched his head. "It smells like the Li's and Sakura's too. Weird. I can't tell who the magic belongs to. only that it's purple."

Syoaran gave Kero-chan a disbelieving look. "It can't be purple, because the only person I know who has a purple aura hasn't even been born yet."

"Well there's also a trace of indigo."

"He hasn't been born yet either."

"Well what are you yelling at me for, I can't help it if you've got gaki in the future who are using you as a science experiment."

Feminine laughter rang out at this.

Syoaran glared at the tree the laughter originated from, "This is not funny Ruby Moon."

"Of course it is Li-kun."

"I'd like to see you get trapped in the body of a twelve year old sometime."

"My aren't we feeling snippy today."

"I'll have you know that I don't talk to stuffed animals Suppi-chan."

"No you just ridicule them."

Syoaran thought for a second, "True." He smiled, "But at least I'm not a stuffed animal most of the time."

Suppi-chan growled as Ruby Moon laughed even harder.

I hope I'm not confusing anyone with the time jump. I'm going to be doing that every couple of chapters of so. so I hope you get which chapter is in what time period.
