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

Author's Note: I appreciate everyone that's reviewed my stories in the past, but I think this might be my last story I write. I don't want to stop, but I don't have a lot of motivation and it seems to me that people just don't care. But fortunately for the people that do like my stories, this one is far from over!! So keep those reviews coming!! ^_~

Summary of last chapter:

Sakura and the gang went to the Winter Ball and they all had a great time, especially Sakura. Showron realized that is in love with Sakura, but didn't tell her because he knew that the other him would tell her. And after he dropped Sakura off at her house, Showron said, "You can come out know."  I wonder who he was talking to…………..

Oh and just to let you know, I changed when the Ball was, it was on a Sunday instead of a Friday. Sorry for the confusion.

Chapter 6

"How did you know I was here?" Madison said as she crawled out of the bushes holding her trusty camcorder in her hand.

"I saw the red light shining on the door. That and I sensed Eli's aura and wherever he is, you're there too." Showron said walking up to Madison, helping her stand.

Eli jumped down from the tree he was in and said, "I'm going to send you back. We have to Showron. But I must say that over the past days that you've been in this time, you certainly have changed your attitude towards Sakura and the rest of us." Eli smiled as he started to make a time portal.

"Yeah, I guess I have changed." Showron said smiling one of his genuinely rare smiles.

Eli smiled at the comment and finished, "Once you get back, send Li to the portal ok? Good luck." And with that, Showron jumped through the portal.

About 15 minutes later, Madison and Eli saw Li come through the portal, just as it closed.

"Welcome home Li." Eli said.

"What did Showron do while I was gone?"  Li said angrily. 'He better not of hurt Sakura.' He thought to himself.

"Um well, you two just got home from the Winter Ball. You guys went together. Oh and if you're worrying if he hurt Sakura, he didn't. Actually she had a great time! She couldn't stop talking about it before we left!" Madison babbled on just to be stopped by Eli putting his hand over her mouth.

Li just stared at Madison. "She had a good time with a rude, arrogant,  cold-hearted…………..monster?" Li looked at the ground and turned away.

Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

Eli glared at Madison who looked back at him apologetically. He walked over to Li. "Madison's only saying that so you won't get mad at Showron for giving Sakura a terrible time at the Winter Ball. But really, Sakura said she couldn't wait to get home."


We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye

Li turned around and gave a half smile. "Thanks Eli, but, I have to face the fact that Li and Sakura were never meant to be. Whenever I'm myself, Sakura hates me. But when someone I used to be comes along, she falls in love. And then when I try to be that person, she hates me all over again."


When I see you now I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

"No Li! That's not true! He acted exactly how you act. Said everything that you say. She thought that she was with Li, not Showron. Li, you have to believe me!" Madison tried desperately, but Li just walked away, then stopped and turned around.


In these days of no regrets
I'll keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by

"Take me back to when I was living in Hong Kong, before the Clow Cards, before meeting Sakura. But make sure I still have memories of her. And also, make sure that there isn't an extra me here to fill my space as a substitute." Li said to Eli with his mind made up.


When I see you know
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

"What is Ms. Mackenzie going to tell the class?" Eli said.

Li told Eli and Madison and then Eli makes a portal to the time that Li asked. As soon as Li walked in Eli said to Madison, "I hope he knows what he's doing."

`~`~`~`~`~`The next day at school`~`~`~`~`~`

When Eli got to school, he told Ms. Mackenzie what Li had told him to. She looked at him with sad eyes and said, "That's so sad. Well, ok. I'll tell the class. I just hope Li knew what he was doing." She turned to the class as Eli took his seat.

Meanwhile, Sakura walked into the classroom. "Morning everybody!" she smiled.

"Hey Sakura!" Madison said as normally as she could.

Sakura looked around the classroom as she sat down in her usual seat. "Have you seen Li today? Wow! Mr. Punctual is actually late for once in his life!" Sakura laughed.

"Oh, uh yeah." Madison said as she turned to Eli and thought to herself, and to Eli who was reading her mind. 'This is going to kill her Eli. Must we do this? Why can't we just say that he moved back to Hong Kong?'

Eli looked at his girlfriend with sympathy and thought back, 'She will try to reach him. And this is a good test. Trust Li. I think I know what he's trying to do.'

"Ok class settle down." Ms. Mackenzie started with a shaky voice. (She's a very good actress huh?)

"What's wrong with Ms. Mackenzie?" Sakura whispered to Madison, who just shrugged.

"I have some tragic new." Ms. Mackenzie took a deep breath and continued. "On the way to school today, one of your classmates, Li Showron was walking to school."

Sakura looked up at the mention of his name while the whole class held their breath.

"He was crossing an intersection at the bottom of the hill just down the road from the school. While he was in the middle of the road, a transport truck's brakes failed." She let that last comment sink in for a minute.

Sakura felt her eyes starting to water. "What happened to him?' she thought to herself.

AN: I'm so evil aren't I? You guys will never know what happened to him! Ok maybe you will very soon. But hey! I tried to be evil didn't I? I'm so sorry that my chapters are so short, I just want to get this story finished. I have like 4 hand-written pages, back and front of only jot notes with about 20 point on each piece of paper. So far with my 6 chapters I've only used 11 jot points so far out of about 80. And you know how many reviews I got? 6!!!!! ONLY SIX REVIEWS!  So I am only going to write one more story and finish this one up and then I am retiring from writing. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as much as I did writing it! See you in the next chapter!
