Hey guys, sorry I took so long to get this up.but I haven't really been motivated. I got like almost NO REVIEWS!!!!!!! Why is that? Is my story not good enough for you to review??? Anywayz, if I don't get up to 15 reviews, I'm going to erase this story and not update it or write EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! Ok???? So now on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own CCS or any of the songs I put up unless I say otherwise.

Sakura and Li are in the ninth grade and they have captured all of the cards. Sakura has become the master of the Clow Cards and the gang now knows that Eli is the reincarnated form of Clow Reed. I know this is a really crappy summary but if I give you a good one, it'll tell you too much about the story, and we don't want that now do we?? ^_~





Changing The Past: For better or worse



Chapter 2



Recess...



"You're Sakura right?" Li asked after he pulled her away from her friends.

"Yeah." She answered hesitantly.

"I know you have them." He answered trying not to sound threatening.

"Have what? I don't know what you're talking about Li."

"The Clow Cards. You don't have to play stupid. I know about them too, I'm Clow Reed's descendant. Me and my whole family have magical powers and I was sent here to help you capture them Sakura. You don't have to be afraid of me." Li hoped that his plan would work.

Sakura thought for a minute and thought to herself, 'Can I really trust him? Maybe I should ask Kero about him when I get home. But for now..' "Ok. I'll let you help me. And besides, I could use someone that knows what he's doing on my side." Sakura gave Li one of her trademark smiles and skipped back to her other friends.

Li watched as the emerald eyed girl skipped away. 'That went well.'

"You're Li right?" a voice from behind Li said.

Li turned around to be greeted by Zachary. "Yeah. And you're Zachary. Chelsea told me not to talk to you because you lie too much." Li said with a smile. 'Oh this is going to be good.'

"I don't lie!!! Why would I do such a thing. Hey, did you know that the wheel was invented by the Chinese in the year 1200??" Zachary said with an elfish grin.

"ZACHARY, STOP TELLING LIES!!!! WE CAN HEAR YOU YA KNOW!!!" Chelsea yelled from across the yard.

Li burst out into laughter while saying, "You think it was invented in 1200??" Li stopped laughing and put on a serious face and finished, "The Chinese invented the wheel in 210." And with that, Li walked away with a smug grin on his face.

Everyone looked at Nikki, as she lifted her head from a book and said, "He's right." And with that, all of the girls started to squeal.

Li walked behind a tree and smiled to himself. 'They have no idea what's gonna happen next.'

"Hi Li!!" Sakura popped up infront of him with a huge smile.

"AHHHHH!!! What the hell was that for?" 'This is not how it went last time, but then again, she was scared of me so.'

"Me and my friend Madison, she's the one that sits beside me in class, well, we were wondering if you wanted to be in our group for drama. We heard that you didn't have a group yet, and that you were a pretty good actor so." but she was cut off by LI answering.

"Yeah, sure. But only on one condition." Li said crossing his arms over his chest.

"And that is?" Sakura asked with a look.

"We are NOT going to do the play 'Sleeping Beauty'. There's absolutely no way in hell I'm going to perform in that play." (AN: for the ppl that watch the English version, you should be laughing your head off at this ^_~)

"Ok ok!! You don't have to bite my head off. We were thinking of...well writing our own. Is that ok?"

"Uh, yeah. But just to let you know, I am the worst at writing manuscripts." Li said with a smile.

Li's Apartment...

"Eli, you can come out." Li said as he put his backpack down on his bed.

"Do you want to go back now?" came Eli's voice as he appeared infront of him.

"Yeah, I want to see what I did."

Eli and Li went back to the.ummm..well the time they came from, but changed.

"LI!!!!!! Are you listening to me?" came Sakura's voice.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm listening to you. Now continue." He said.

"Ok...so you'll pick me up at 7:00?" Sakura said cheerfully.

"For...?"

"Our date? Remember? The movies?" Sakura replied suspiciously.

"Oh.yeah.right. Um, how about 7:00?" Li said nervously.

"Ok, bye. Oh and Tori wants me to be home before 11:00 ok?" Sakura replied back in her usual cheerful tone.

"You mean that he knows we're going out?"

"Of course! Are you ok Li?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm ok. I'll talk to you later ok?"

"Yeah, ok bye Li." Sakura went up to Li, quickly kissed him on the cheek and walked over to Madison to go home.

Li stood where he was, staring after Sakura. 'Did that just really happen?' He asked in his head.

"Yep. You and Sakura are a couple. Do you want to know what's been going on the past two years?" Eli said as he walked up from behind Li.

"What the hell happened?"

"Well, since you were so nice to Sakura, Tori has nothing against you and Sakura found you sweet and charming. Heh heh heh, I quoted her. Oh and she's not the card mistress yet so don't bring anything about the final judgement up or anything ok?" Eli said in Clow Reed's voice.

"Alright. But what am I supposed to do about tonight?"

"Go to the movies?" Eli said simply as he walked away and disappeared.

"Ok then. WHAT?!?!?"

That night after the movie......



"I had a great time tonight Li." Sakura said as she wrapped her arm around his.

"Yeah, me too. Uh Sakura? There's something you should know." Li said as they walked into King Penguin Park and sat down on a park bench.

"What is it? Is there someone else or..."

"No. It's nothing like that. I'm not who you think I am." Li said as he tried to figure out a way to tell her without telling her about Eli and his second identity.

"What do you mean? You are Li Showron aren't you?" Sakura asked with a confused tone.

"Ok, I'll tell you but you have to promise me that you don't freak out and you have to believe me when I tell you ok?"

"Umm...ok, I promise." Sakura said as she played with Li's hand.

"Eli, the new transfer student is the reincarnated Clow Reed. And, ok this is the part where you really have to believe me. I came from two years in the future. I asked Eli to send me back to when we first met so I could change how things were between us. Because instead of me offering my help when I first met you, I beat you up. That's why I didn't know that we were going out or anything." Li said in the simplest way he could.

But to his surprise, Sakura started laughing like there was no tomorrow. "That's good Li..that's a good joke. Why would you lie to me about who you are and remembering about our date tonight?"

"I'm sorry Sakura. I didn't mean to lie or keep this from you. That's why I felt that I should tell you tonight." Li said looking down at the ground.

"I thought I was going out with Li Showron, but I guess tonight I was going out with a lier that doesn't care about anyone else!" Sakura shouted angrily, letting to of Li's hand.

"If I didn't care about anyone else I wouldn't be with you right now would I?" Li replied just as loud.

"Then maybe you shouldn't be here right now should you?"

"Maybe we shouldn't be together then should we?"

"I guess not!" And with that Sakura stormed away.

And again, Li just stood there staring after Sakura. 'What the hell have I done?'
