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
Last chapter:
"MOM!!! Angel is trying to kill me again!!!" Marina said as Sakura's one year old daughter, Angel, walked towards her.
Sakura walked into the room where the two were in. "LI!!! ANGEL'S WALKING!!" Sakura ran to get a video camera.
Sakura came back with Li behind her. "She's kinda late don't you think?" Li said, admiring his daughter beside Sakura.
"I didn't walk until I was two years old. It runs in the family." Sakura said, looking through the camera, squatting on the ground.
"So THAT'S why you're such a klutz." Li teased.
"Yeah……………….hey!" Sakura said, playfully slapping him. But in doing so, she lost her balance but Li caught her.
They looked at each other with a smile on their faces. Sakura turned off the camcorder and pulled Li's face to hers as they enjoyed a passionate embrace. They broke apart, out of breath and smiling.
"MOM!!! DAD!!!! Angel has a knife and something tells me she isn't afraid to use it!!" Marina said fearfully.
Chapter 10
"Li, I'm going out for awhile. Can you drop the kids off at Madison's?" Sakura said, getting her coat on.
"Ok. When are you going to be home?" Li said trying to find Angel.
"Don't worry, I'll be home in time to cook dinner." Sakura teased.
"I wasn't asking because of that. I was just wondering when I should expect you home." Li said, pulling Angel from under a couch.
Sakura looked over to Li who was holding Angel by her waist. "I'll be home around 6:00."
"Perfect." Li said.
"What do you mean perfect? Are you going to attempt to clean the house again?" Sakura joked.
Li looked at Angel with disappointed eyes. "Well, she caught me. Will I ever be able to fool your mother?"
Angel smiled and said the only word she could say other then mama. "No."
"Bye you two. Angel, you make sure your father behaves." Sakura said to them.
Hey! Who's the responsible one here?" Li said pointing to himself and Angel.
"Ok you win. Oh and Li, your shirts on backwards. Have fun taking care of your father Angel." Sakura smiled and walked out the door.
Li looked down at his shirt and frowned. "I like to be different." He picked up Angel and went to look for Marina who was also hiding in the house.
`~`~`~`~`~`6:00`~`~`~`~`~`
Sakura opened the door and noticed she was stepping on something. She looked down and saw rose petals on the floor. She took off her coat and shoes and walked down the hall, smiling as she following the path of rose petals, leading her to the front room. She stepped in and saw Li sitting on the couch, smiling.
"What's this all about Li?" Sakura asked as she walked over to Li.
Li took her hands in his and got down on one knew. (AN. No he isn't going to do what you guys think he is.......heh heh heh, you guys will hate me for this........) "We've been through so much together. Taking care of Marina and Angel, and taking care of each other. Neither of us can remember the first one, what I said and what you said, but....I just forgot what I had planned to say so I'll just say it. Sakura, you are the most beautiful, most caring women, I've even known. Would, you make me the luckiest man alive and be my wife?" Li took out a small velvet box and opened it to show a beautiful three diamond ring.
Sakura's eyes widened hearing his words and smiled at him with the love that she still hasn't told him about. (AN: but don't you think it's kind of obvious for them now? Oh and I lied, he did do what you thought he was going to do!! ^_^) Sakura nodded her head and answered. "Yes. Yes Li, I'll marry you!"
Li smiled and put the ring on Sakura's finger and stood up.
Sakura put her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. Li looked down and kissed Sakura on the cheek. Sakura, feeling this, moved her head to the side and kissed him full on the lips and opened her mouth to deepen the kiss.
They broke away due to the lack of air and smiled at each other. Li pulled Sakura close to him and said in his head, 'I love you Sakura. With everything I am, I love you.'
Sakura pulled him closer and said, "Even though you forgot what you had planned, you did pretty good off hand. I never knew you could be so romantic."
"You thought that was romantic?" Li mocked, loosing his hold on Sakura.
"Don't we have a big ego?" Sakura teased, putting her forehead against his and smiled seeing Li smile back at her.
"So how long do you think it will take Madison to get down here?" Li said, looking at his watch.
"5..........4.........3............2..............." Sakura said as Madison ran into the house with a camcorder, dragging Eli behind her.
"Awwwww.......look Eli, he proposed. Imagine me running over here just to find out by a strange coincidence that you proposed to Sakura. Isn't that weird?" Madison said as she took pictures of a blushing Sakura.
"Madison, I know you have cameras all over this house." Li said with a monotone voice.
Then there were tiny puffs of smoke coming from the corners of each room. "Not any more!" Madison said crazily.
"Ok Madison that's enough caffeine for you today." Eli said, picking Madison up and walking out. "Sorry about the intrusion guys. And congrats."
"Thank you Eli." Sakura said.
Once Eli had walked out the door, Li hugged Sakura from behind. "That was weird."
"Yeah, well it was Madison. What else do you expect from her?" Sakura said laughing.
"Not much." Li said, kissing Sakura's neck softly. Sakura smiled and turned around to face him amd put her arms around his neck. "Did you really mean everything you said to me?"
'Of course I did Sakura. I would never lie to you." Sakura smiled at him and put her lips on his, and Li deepened the kiss.
Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spent being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way
Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever
Could I could I have this kiss forever, forever
Sakura and Li broke away from each other smiling. "You know what?" Sakura said.
"What?" Li asked.
"We have to plan this thing."
"That is so true. Let's start tomorrow. And I'm cooking diner tonight no matter how much you try to stop me." Li said, walking off towards the kitchen.
"Oh but it's so clean in there! Why mess it up?" Sakura said running after him.
(AN: And with the magic of time warping, we go 5 months into the future...........Their wedding day!!!)
Madison stood beside Sakura, fixing her dress. "Sakura, you're going ro get poked with this pin if you don't stop fidgeting." Madison said sternly.
"Sorry, it's just that. I can't help wondering if Li proposed to me because he loves me, or because we can't remember the first one." Sakura said sighing.
"Well did he kiss you after you said yes?" Madison said to her, not looking up.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" Sakura asked.
Madison smiled to herself. 'If only you knew Sakura.' she thought. "I have to get out there, oh yeah! You have to follow me too! I forgot that you were the bride." Madison joked.
"Very funny." Sakura said, not liking the joke at all.
Madison walked out with Eli and then Sakura came out. Li looked to the back and couldn't believe what he saw. Sakura's dress was white and strapless, and it had a white shawl. The dress hugged her upper body loosely and from the waist down it flowed prettily, creating a long train at the back. Along the waist were faint pink cherry blossoms embroidered on. Sakura was also wearing a cute little tiara which nicely matched her diamond necklace. She walked up to Li and stood beside him and smiled. "Hi." she whispered.
"Hi." he whispered back, not losing a smile.
"Dearly beloveds............." started the priest. (AN: I don't really know how the rest goes so take your little remote control and fast foreward to the part where he says...............)
"I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Sakura and Li leaned towards each other and then...................they felt themselves be traveling in time. Sakura hung onto Li. "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Li said, holding her just as tight as she was holding onto him.
Then they landed in a classroom. (AN: And by they I mean Sakura, Li, Madison, Eli)
"Ow......AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed.
"What? What the...." Li said, looking at the 14 year old Sakura. He looked at himself and saw a 14 year old Li. He looked at everyone else and saw 14 year olds. "Eli? What happened?" Li asked with a threatening tone that would make yourself want to die before Li got hold of you.
"Well, our little time trip in the first place was only supposed to last 10 days. But I got it wrong and so we stayed for 2 years." Eli said, cowering behind Madison.
"I see." Li said. That's when he realized something glittering on Sakura's hand. "Uh Sakura, is that the wedding ring?"
Sakura looked down and tried to take it off. "It won't come off. Try yours."
Li tried to take his off, but he couldn't and shook his head. Then he looked to the classroom door as he heard someone open it.
"Hey Madison, Li, Sakura, Eli. How are you? Wow, you guys are here really early. Well, I'm only really surprised with you Sakura, how did you wake up so early?" It was Chelsea, followed by Zachary.
"Did you know that alarm clocks were first invented by.........." Zachary started another lie.
"Come on Zachary, no one wants to hear your stupid lies." Chelsea said, dragging him by his ear.
"Ok then. So how are we going to explain our rings?" Sakura said to Li.
"I have no clue." Li said truthfully.
As more people poured into the classroom, the more determined Li was. He pulled Sakura over to the side of the classroom. "Sakura there's something I need to tell you. I've wanted to tel you for, the longest time but I could never get the courage to say it. I............."
"Hey guys what are you doing all the way over here?" Eli said, popping up right in between Sakura and Li.
"Nothing." Li said quickly.
Then Eli walked away, not knowing what he had done.
"So what were you saying Li." Sakura asked cutely.
"Nothing, just forget it." Li said. 'I give up. If she finds out, then she finds out.'
"Wait, I need to tell you something too." Sakura said, reaching for Li's wrist. "I've kept it inside for so long I just need to tell you. I............" She started and then............
"Hey people! Why are you all the way over here?" Madison said, like Eli, popping up right in between Sakura and Li.
"Nothing." Sakura said quickly. And then Madison walked away. Sakura looked at Li. "Anyways, should we put up a sign that says leave us alone, we're talking?" Sakura joked.
"That would be a good idea, or you can tell me what you were going to say." Li said.
Sakura's face turned a deep crimson and she said in a quiet whisper. "I.....I..........I'm in love with you. I always have been. You mean the world to me and I'd rather die then live without you."
Li's eyes opened wide as he heard Sakura's words and he smiled at her. He wrapped his arms around Sakura. "What I was trying to say before, was that, I'm in love with you. I have been ever since I met you. I feel like I'm in heaven when I look in your eyes. And I know that you are the one for me."
Sakura smiled hearing Li's words and hugged him tightly back. But what the two didn't know was that a boy was glaring at Li from across the room...................
An: Who is this boy watching the two? :) I know my chapters are getting short, but I wanted to finish this chapter. I've been working on it for sooooooo long! It has to get out of my computer now!!!
