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?? ^_~

AN: Hey peoples! I am sorry I haven't been on for so long. I get distracted very very easily. Well, here's the next chapter, I think I've been keeping you guys in suspense long enough. Now let's find out who this boy is that was glaring at Li and Skaura...........

Thank you list:

EcuaGirl: Sorry it took me so long. Now you can finally see who was glaring, and I think I should've made Li and Sakura confess oh let's say in chapter 20 :P

Montserrat T: Heh heh heh, I couldn't leave them in the future. And well they have to keep the rings because of something that happens in this chapter. And yeah I did get your mail sorry, along time ago actually. :P So have you watched Serendipity yet?

Changing The Past: For Better Or Worse

Last Chapter

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 tell 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...................

Chapter 11

Li sensed someone staring at them and he let go of Sakura and turned around quickly. He saw Zachary glaring at Li, with almost the same glare Li uses. "I'll be right back Sakura." He walked over to Zachary. "What's the look for?"

"What's the look for?" Zachary sneered. "He asks why I have this look on my face. You want to know why? I'll tell you, my so-called best friend is in love with the person I'm in love with! Is that what you wanted to hear? And yet, you knew how I felt about Sakura." Zachary was now struggling to keep his fists away from Li's face.

Li's eyes opened wide. "Zachary I didn't actually think that you felt like that, people sometimes say things in the heat of the moment."

"Oh so you might not love Sakura and you might have said you did in the heat of the moment?" Zachary said with an attitude.

Li shook his head. "No, I love Sakura. Listen, I'm sorry that I did this to you, but, I love her, more then you'll ever know." Li patted Zachary on the shoulder and walked back over to Sakura who was being bombarded with questions about her ring.

Zachary looked on at the two who were now in a tight embrace. 'I would give anything to be in those shoes.' Zachary thought to himself.

He spends his nights in California, watching
The stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders, why
Can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled with all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not
Mention right now
But just before he says goodnight, he looks
Up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that, I would
Give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
What would I do.

Zachary sat down at his seat after taking a last glance at Li and Sakura who were surrounded a crowd of students squealing about how cute they look together.

Madison looked over at Li and Sakura and screamed. "NOOOOOO!!!!!! YOU GUYS CONFESSED AND I MISSED IT??????" Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a smiling Eli.

"I got it though." He held up a video camera and smiled evilly.

"Thank you so much Eli! Oh I love you!" Madison threw her arms around Eli, and then realized what she had said.

"Do you really?" Eli whispered into her ear, putting his arms around Madison.

Madison looked up at him and her face turned a tomato red. "Yes Eli. I love you with all of my heart."

Eli pulled Madison closer to him and whispered. "I love you too Madison, I have since the first time I set my eyes on you. And over the years, my love for you has grown into something that I can't even describe."

Li ran to catch up to Sakura. "Hey."

Sakura turned to Li and smiled. "Hey you. Don't you live the other way?"

"I thought I would take the long way which conveniently goes by your house."

Sakura gasped. "You took a risk and thought? What were you thinking?"

Li pretended to look ashamed. "Do you want me to think about my answer?"

Sakura grabbed his arm. "NO! You mustn't think! It might hurt too much....please don't....." But Li interrupted her.

"Ow. Maybe I shouldn't think."

"That's what I've been trying to tell you!"

"But what if I want to think about you?" Li said seriously.

Sakura looked at him and a smile formed on her face. "Well that's an exception."

Li walked Sakura all the way to her front door.

"Thanks for walking me home Li." Sakura said, giving Li her trademark smile which made Li turn a light shade of pink.

"No problem."

They were both silent for a couple minutes until Meilin walked up to Sakura and Li. "Uh, sorry to interrupt this moment but Zachary wants you at the soccer field. You have a game right now apparently." When she didn't get a response from either one she got frustrated and she saw Tori open the door.

"Sakura it's about time you got home. And what's the brat doing here?"

Sakura looked up and glared at her brother. "He's not a brat and he walked me home! He's not going to kill me, he's not going to hurt me in any way."

"Whatever, hurry up and get in, it's your turn to make dinner." Tori said as he glared at Li.

"I'll be right in, give me a second." Sakura turned back to Li and smiled. "He still has a grudge."

Li looked at Sakura and Sakura looked back at him, neither noticing Tori's face which was turning red with anger. Meilin gave out an exasperated sigh and said, "Oh would you two kiss already?" Li decided to take a chance, and he kissed Sakura, wrapping one arm around her waist and the other on the back of her head. Sakura kissed back, closing her eyes and placing a hand on one side of his face.

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish; I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope; I'll be your love 
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath,
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
 
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
 
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven 
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
 
The highest power
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
 
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
 
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come
 
I'll be your dream; I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope; I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
 
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
 
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Meilin rolled her eyes. "So NOW you listen to me!"  

They broke away from each other reluctantly, still holding each other. Sakura smiled at him and kissed him softly on the lips again quickly. "You better go; you don't want to get Zachary in one of his moods."

Li smiled back and nodded, kissing her again and then letting go of her. He didn't glance at Tori as he made his way down the front steps. He looked back at Sakura though and waved. "See ya later Sakura."

"Bye!" She waved back smiling incredibly.

Li and Meilin walked to the soccer field. Meilin sat on the bleachers as Li walked jogged over to Zachary and the rest of the team. Everybody patted Li on the back as Zachary glared at him.  "I'm sorry to say Li but you've been kicked off the team." Zachary growled through gritted teeth.

Li almost fell over. "What did you say? You need me to win! Sorry guy, no offense or anything, but I win every time." Li said in utter disbelief.

All the other team members agreed with Li as Zachary talked over them. "You knew how I felt about Sakura and you promised you wouldn't make any moves on her!"

Li glared at him. 'How dare he involve Sakura in this.' he thought to himself. "You said you liked her. You said you wanted to go out with her."

"Yeah I know. And you stole her." Zachary said, shaking a fist at Li.

Li couldn't believe Zachary was acting like this. "You're so selfish! I finally find the person that makes me feel like I can be me, that makes me feel like I'm worth something and you want to take that away from me. Zachary I don't just like Sakura, I don't just want to go out with her. I'm in love with her, and I can see myself spending the rest of my life with her." Li started to walk away then he turned around and pointed an icy glare at him. "If you're kicking me off the team because of how I feel, then so be it. I don't want to be on a team like that anyways." And with that he continues to walk towards the bleachers.

The rest of the soccer team glared at Zachary as Li walked away. "I think he should stay on the team." Everyone was talking over the other to get their voice heard to Zachary.

"Fine! But only because I want to win ok? Li, get over here, I need to win this game." Zachary said, obviously annoyed and angry.

By the end of the game, Li's team had won, 30-0.
