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?? ^_~

AN: Well it's that time again, my ranting! Yay for me! So anyways, sorry about the long wait for chapters but I wrote all the chapters for this story and then I'm going to update each chapter with a 1 week intervals. And then I'm going to finish writing my CCSerendipity. And then by the time I have that story updated, I'll be able to watch the movie, 'How to lose a guy in 10 days' so I can finish the story about that too. But while I'm doing all that I have to keep up my story on fictionpress.net because my story there is about my life so I have to write it before I forget it all. Ok and about this chapter, um....it's kinda weird so if I got some facts wrong in it, then don't kill me. And to let you all know, Eli and Li are really good lawyers. Well, onto the very short thank you list.....

Thank you list:

Chibi-Goten Angel: Thanks for the review. And well....Li might not be dying......but then what kind of story would THAT be??

Changing The Past: For Better Or Worse

Last Chapter

Sakura was woken up by the morning light in her eyes from the open window.

"Hello." The doctor said sadly, walking into the room.

Li had waken up just before Sakura and looked at the doctor. "What's with the tone?"

The doctor looked down at he feet then up to the couple. "I have some bad news."

Chapter 14: A lost cause..I mean case and royalty???

Sakura's eyes filled with fear hearing what the doctor had said. She leaned down and grabbed Li's shirt. "No, you can't die Li, you can't! I won't let you, I love you too much!"

Li caressed Sakura's hair. "Sakura, calm down, the doctor didn't say anything yet." He looked back up to the doctor and nodded. "Go on."

The doctor wrung her hands. "Well, I'm sorry to say but your ancestor is here." She smiled a bit. "Don't worry, the drug is working perfectly and you can go whenever you feel you have the strength." And with that she walked out of the room and in her place came in Madison and Eli.

Sakura looked up and wiped her tears. "You're not going to die!" She smiled and hugged Li tightly.

Li smiled back and winced a bit, since Sakura was leaning on the bullet wound. "Hey guys."

Madison smiled. Li could tell that she had been crying, due to her red and puffy eyes. "I'm so glad you're going to be ok Li."

Eli nodded. "Yeah, if you had died, who would I have called my cute lil' descendant?"

"Watch it!" Li said, as he gave Eli a glare. And everyone knows that the Li-glare is the international sign of death.

"Um..." Eli pulled at the collar of his shirt. "Well there's something I need to tell you. You know that case that we were assigned?"

(AN: remember, they're lawyers......) Li nodded. 'Yeah, you took care of it right?"

"Not exactly.....um....I...er.....we lost." He winced as he imagined Li's reaction.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" How did we lose? We had solid gold evidence that she didn't kill her husband! Where did it go?" Li said, sitting up and pushing Sakura off of him.

"Well, uh.....they got a counter for it. An alibi for every piece, I didn't even know that an alibi could be that the petting zoo was on fire. I just didn't think it was possible!" Eli replied. "You know, it wasn't easy."

Li was shaking with fury. "Of course it wasn't! You're trying to save a woman's life! When's the execution? Maybe if we hurry we can call for another trial." He said, hurriedly getting different clothes together to change into.

But he stopped when Eli put a hand on his shoulder. "It already happened. I'm sorry man, I can't believe I let you down."

Li stared out into nothingness as Sakura sat down in a daze as well. "So, there's nothing? We have nothing?" Li said, still staring.

Eli nodded. "Yeah. In her will she didn't leave anything to her lawyers and her son refused us to help. We got nothing, money or jobs."

Sakura started to sob. "Li, that's your life."

Li nodded, snapping out of his daze. "What about the kids? I've already refused being the Li-clan leader."

Just then little Angel popped her head into the hospital room. "Daddy, grandpa just died. Not your dad mommy. His daddy died. Ok bye." And as quick as she came, she disappeared.

Madison scratched her head. "It's odd how a one year old can be talking like that, let alone fire a gun."

Everyone turned to look at her and they shook their heads.

"So what are you going to do now?" Eli said, in a more cheery tone.

"What the hell do you mean what am I going to do? And what's with the tone?" Li demanded, feeling no grief over his grandfather's passing.

"Well," Eli started in a fatherly tone. "Your grandfather was royalty, and I don't mean the Li-clan. I mean emperor royalty."

"Yeah so?" Li said, obviously annoyed with Eli's antics.

"Since your dad passed away, and you have no uncles and no male cousins......." Eli said, hoping somebody, anybody would catch his drift.

"So you're saying he gets all of his inheritance?"  Sakura said, wiping her tears away and sitting upright in her chair.

Eli only smiled that little smile of his as people burst in the room and measured Sakura and Li. Some other people came in carrying Marina and Angel and measuring them as well.

Sakura sighed. "This is like when Madison would measure me for clothes." Then everybody realized something. "CLOTHES?"

The people left the room as quickly as they had came leaving a very confused family, a woman videotaping everything and a reincarnation smiling greatly. "What, you didn't honestly expect to become royalty without the proper attire now do you?" Eli asked, his smile never leaving his face.

Then quick as a blink, the people came back with traditional Chinese clothing. (AN: If you want, you can check out what they got. Sakura's:     Li's:   I know this doesn't look like what he'd wear, but it's the best I could find for nobility clothing. Marina: and last but not least, Angel: )

Miracles happen, miracles happen
You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, miracles happen

I can't imagine living my life without you now
Not ever having you around
We found our way out
(on you I can depend)
Don't have to look back to realize how far we've come
There are million reasons
I'm lookin up
I don't want this to end

Nothin
Nothin should ever bring you down
Knowing what goes around will come around

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

There is no question we found the missing pieces
Our picture is complete
It's fallen into place
(it's fallen into place)
This is out moment, you and I are looking up
Someone is watching over us
Keeping me close
Closer to you everyday

Nowhere
Nowhere on earth I'd rather be
No one can take this away from you and me

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

When you believe
The soul is a shining light
When you believe
The heart has the will to fight
You can do anything, don't be afraid
We're gonna find our way

You showed me faith is not blind
I don't need wings to help me fly
Miracles happen, once in a while
When you believe
(miracles happen)
You showed me dreams come to light
That takin a chance on us was right
All things will come with a little time
When You believe

"Your plane is waiting for you your majesty." one of the servants said to Li.

"Whoa, your majesty. You don't have to call me that." Li said, as some other servants tried to dress him. "And please don't dress me! I'm capable of it myself. If I really need help though I'll get Sakura to do it."

Hearing this, Sakura's face went pitch red and she continued to help with Angel and Marina. "Alright I'll be right back." Sakura said, taking a dress from one of the servants and she walked into the bathroom to change. A few minutes she came out and looked at herself. "This really isn't me. Ah!" As soon as she said that, more people started to work on her hair. "Um....Li?"

Li only laughed. But he stopped as soon as the servants moved away from Sakura. "Whoa....." He stared at Sakura, amazed at the transformation.

"Yeah I know. It isn't me at all. I'm not sure if it looks good." She said, turning around as she attempted to look at the back of the dress.

"You look beautiful." Li snapped out of his gaze and stood up, walking over to another of the servants and took his clothes and looked at the items. "Um....this is...."

"Come now. You've no time to change now. You'll have to change on the plane." An older woman said, picking up Angel and shooing the rest of the family out. "Come now, outside."

So they got onto the private jet that was waiting outside for them. (AN I want a private jet....*sniff*) Li changed into his robes and came back to sit with the rest of  his family with a red face. "This isn't me at all either. So don't feel bad Sakura." He sat down beside Sakura and looked out the window.

Sakura laughed and turned Li's face to hers. "You still look good in it." She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

Li smiled back and pulled Sakura towards him, and she leaned her head against his chest. "This is happening really fast."

Sakura nodded. "Yeah it is." She looked over at her kids and smiled. "But I'm not one to complain."

As soon as the plane landed in China and they stepped off of the plane, there were hundreds of newspaper reporters with their cameras flashing away. Sakura turned away and Li held onto her. "Hide the kids." Li whispered to the older lady who had taken Angel and Marina.

Sakura held onto Li as they walked off of the plane and into the limo that was waiting for them. Soon after, Angel and Marina crawled into the limo and it sped off.

Once they got to the palace Li realized something. "Wasn't this place mad a tourist attraction a while ago?"

One of the servants named Xin Hua spoke up. "The Forbidden City was a tourist attraction yes. But they changed it last year and so now the royal family will live in it once more. And don't worry, everything has been fixed so it's all new." She smiled and walked into the gates.

Li and Sakura shrugged and walked in behind Xin Hua to look at their new home
