"This isn't your house, so I don't have to leave. It looks like I won."

"We're not through yet." Sakura's aura had changed to a very dangerous red.

"Sakura, you don't want to do that." A voice said behind her.

"Yes I do."

"No you don't. Likaun, get out of this house and don't ever come back."

"You know I'll be marrying him now, Feimei."

"We'll see about that."

L.P.B.- I agree with Likaun but she will get what is coming to her. do you mean what did Tomoyo see? I guess you'll have to read to find out.

Pinnaygrrl-Oh it's continued and I can't wait to see what you say this time around.

Ngoc2321- I'm glad that you liked the chapter. I hope you like this one just as much and more.

Michael Bulaich- I admire you for starting a story that is twenty chapters in. I hope you like the rest.

Ficslayer- I hope you get to read more. The story isn't dark all the way through. It just starts out that way.

Chapter 20

"What's wrong?" Yelan asked. It had been awhile since she had seen Eriol this frantic.

"Let's just say that we are not dealing with who we think we are."

Yelan nodded in understanding. "Alright, I'll call the elders."

"No not the elders. I mean of the people that are staying in this house."

Five minutes later everyone sat at the living room table. Sakura was anything but calm, Feimei was very upset and Li looked about as smug and irritated as a man that was about to get something that he wanted.

"What's going on here?" Yelan felt the anger that radiated from the two young women that was barely contained.

Feimei and Sakura glared at Shaoran for a minute not answering her. She could feel Sakura closing herself off again.

Kin-Li looked at Sakura. "You may not want to do that yet. You're going to need your heart."

"I don't know what is going on but we will deal with it later." Yelan looked pointedly at her son. Yelan nodded at Eriol.

"First I have to ask Tomoyo if she remembers what happened?" Eriol began.

"I'm starting to." She answered. "It's confusing though. I could swear that I'm seeing double."

"You aren't." He answered. He looked at Li who was about to go to sleep. "Sakura, when did you go to the art show?"

She looked at him confused but played along. "We went last month just before we left home why?"

"My dear little descendant, what did you see while you were there?"

Li looked at Eriol not seeming to notice the first part. "Well we saw a western version of Picasso and a portrait of Mozart."

Sakura sat up straighter. "When was the first time we kissed?" She asked ignoring the glare that she got from her brother.

"We were fifteen and playing around outside why?" She smiled and sat down.

"Kin-Li why are you here?" Eriol turned to the following young woman.

"I'm here to save my parents and find my brother." She answered. She knew everything was about to come out and not because of her.

"I believe you but can you tell me who he is?" Eriol asked.

She closed her eyes. Li tried to get up only to find that he could not move his chair and that something held him down. He looked up to see what was holding him down. "It's the angel." He muttered.

"You're not Li Shaoran."

"What are you talking about, of course I am. Sakura didn't I ask you to marry me?"

"Yes you did. What did I answer?"

"That you would have to think about it."

"Well you see that isn't going to happen at all." She looked at the faces all around and she smiled an evil smile. "I was so sure that you changed your mind and decided to marry Likaun the whore."

"Who are you?" Touya asked as he grimaced at what his sister had said.

"I'm the guy that asked you to marry him." He tried to stand up again but gave up.

"No you're not. You're the reason that I passed out back there." Tomoyo stood.

"Yeah I am." He smiled arrogantly.

"You baka! You could have killed her." The Li look-alike looked at Sakura.

"She will be the most valuable of all of you." He stated with little are for any of them.

"Why because I can stop time?" Tomoyo stood up and it was all that she could do to keep from ringing the man's throat.

"You can do a lot more than that. In the future, you can control time. All time."

"You are a baka! Now I know who you are. There are some things that they shouldn't be told. It will mess up the time space continuum."

"The time space continuum is already messed up. You're here." He answered.

"I followed you and Rina, Li Ootari! You can't do this!"

"My name isn't Li Ootari. My name is Lin Danu."

"No it's not. You look exactly like Li Shaoran."

Sakura stood up, scraping her chair across the floor. "I'm confused and I'm getting a headache." Kero followed her around the room.

"Sakura I want some pudding."

"Is that all you can think about." She was cross when she said it. Some pudding appeared in her hands. "Here enjoy but you have to listen to what is being said."

Sakura was having enough trouble taking it all in. "Sakura I don't have time to explain everything to you right now. We have to save…."

"Oh believe me you have time to explain." Sakura responded. "Who are you?"

Kin-Li sat down, "Alright, you want the truth?"

"Yes, that would be nice." Yelan silenced the whispers around the room.

"My name is Li Nadeshiko Sayuki. I was named after my grandmother on your side." She pointed to Sakura.

"What!" She looked up pale.

"Yes, you are my Okaasan and Li Shaoran my Otousan."

"This isn't possible." It was all Sakura could mutter over and over.

"That's why I saw two earlier." Tomoyo went to her friend.

"You're named after the phoenix and yet you seem to hold none of the values that come with the name." Nadeshiko Sayuki spat at him.

"I told you my name is not Li Ootari."

Eriol stepped in. "Let's see what I can find."

Eriol made the boy sit down. "You can't….."

"What are you doing?"

"Sakura can you help me? His memories are buried all the way down."

"Hai. Kin…. Never mind, whatever I am supposed to call you come over here and help."

The Nadeshiko came over to the place followed by Yelan. They followed Eriol's example. They saw the little boy being kidnapped by a shadowed person. The boy was about five years old.

When they finished Sakura's daughter stepped back she took a breath. "We have to save Otousan. Tomoyo, do you think that you could get us to that time?"

"Wait, that baka already drained her power today." Eriol replied.

"We need her." Touya stepped in.

"No, she is right. She can't. I can call forth time to help." Sakura stepped in.

"We have to go too far forward. We need her." Eriol stepped forward.

"How far do we have to go?" Sakura asked.

"We have to go 20 years into the future." Eriol answered.

"Yelan we will need you as well." Touya nodded.

Yelan, Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol stood in a circle as if they did something like this everyday. In the middle of the circle there was a circle appear. It rose and went to the center of the room. Yelan stood away from them. "Eriol I cannot go with you nor can the girls. Touya you have to."

Touya, Tomoyo, Sakura, Eriol, Ootari, and Nadeshiko stepped through the portal.

They landed on top of each other when the vortex deposited them in a spot that looked vaguely familiar to the group. "Where are we?" Tomoyo asked.

"Exactly where we need to be." Eriol answered.

"What do you mean?" Lin Danu looked at the spot. He remembered something but he didn't think it was this.

"We've only helped to bring your memories to the surface. You have to remember them." Eriol told him.

The group stood in silence all around him waiting for something to come up. "What do you see?" Nadeshiko asked.

"I see nothing." Lin Danu answered with venom. "Why are we here?"

"Open your mind." Sakura now understood more acutely than ever what they were doing was against the rules of humanity and magic. They had pushed memories up that had been long forgotten by magic. They were now trying to get him to remember for some reason.

Lin looked around him trying to put his finger on what they wanted him to remember. A glow began around Sakura that was barely noticeable but changing to almost blinding. The light around Sakura brought forth an older looking woman that was great deal like Sakura. "Listen my child, to your heart." Her voice was older, more mature and held lost hope.

Lin stood still not knowing what he was looking for. Finally he saw a little girl and boy playing by the trees. "Come on, Ootari." A little Nadeshiko was climbing to a tree.

"Nadi, get down. You're going to hurt yourself." Her brother said.

"No, I'm not. Besides you have climbed this tree all the way up to the top branch." She reminded.

"That's different." He put on his typical little boy airs.

"Why?" She kept climbing until she was sitting on the lowest branch.

"I'm a boy." He gave with all his boyish cockiness and a grin.

She growled before she knocked him down with an annoyed silver stream. "Hey no powers remember!"

"You're brother is right you know. You really should learn how to control your powers." A woman with the hunter green eyes, honey colored hair and a black dress came out of the shadows.

"Get away from her!" Ootari stepped in front of his sister after he levitated her beside him.

"Oh, such a brave boy." The woman crooned. "I want you both."

"You can't have us." Little Ootari was trying to levitate as many things as he could so that he could get the woman away from him and his sister. They had as of yet learned how to do telepathic communication yet but they had been trained to work together. In fact, they hadn't even mastered that yet. Little Nadi sent an erratic silver stream to the lady but her four year old body couldn't take much more than they were giving out.

"Help!" Little Nadi screamed.

"Be quiet! I can hone your powers beyond your wildest dreams." The woman smiled. "I think that I will." She made a grab for the two but only managed to get a wiggling Ootari.

"Let me go!" He kicked and screamed for his Okaasan.

The woman disappeared when she saw two people beginning to appear. "Sumimasen." The woman laughed and shimmered in a black mist.

"No!" Sakura cried when she saw what had happened.

"Wei watch her!"

Sakura and Shaoran went looking for the woman. They sensed no magical aura, not the woman's or Ootari's. "Where are they?" Sakura kept trying to sense another, any other person there.

When they came back to check on their daughter Wei was holding a note. There were tears in his eyes when he handed the not to them. "You will never see your child as yours again."

"No!" Sakura screamed. It was too much with the loss of her father, and her brother. She sat on the floor with Li's arms wrapped around her.

The little girl watched her strong mother crying and vowed that she would put her family back together no matter what she had to do.

Lin Danu looked at them accusingly. "You put that there."

"We only helped to bring it out." Sakura said before the same light that had shown up disappeared. Sakura was supported by Touya when she almost passed out..

"What happened here Nadeshiko?" Eriol asked.

"My parents, I mean you," she looked at Li and Sakura, "were killed by her 6 months ago. They found her but like everyone else that had gone up against her, their powers were absorbed and they were killed. Just as the others were before them. They bade me to stay behind in case something happened to them. I was the last resort if nothing else worked."

"Only some of those who have worked with her remain completely intact." Lin Danu informed them. "You betray her and you die. You don't question her then you are greatly rewarded." Lin Danu stated. "Be careful if you kill her one of you will no longer exist."

Something sent them back about two feet. "Why you two haven't changed much at all."

"Oh wait! You're only a few years younger." The black mists cleared up.

Eriol looked stunned at the woman. "I know you."

"Of course you know me." The woman with hunter green eyes walked. "You were supposed to bring them to me." She paused just for a moment. "Ah, I see."

"You see what." Nadeshiko looked at the woman.

"You've broken worlds of rules." The woman looked at the group. "He wasn't supposed to remember that." The woman sent a ball of fire to each of them. What she did next surprised them.

Oh well I really look forward to reading what you guys say about this chapter. I have been having fun with this. After I finish this story though, I will be concentrating my Escaflowne story. I'm trying to get all of these done before classes start up again.
