Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura.

A/N To my wonderful readers,
I regretfully inform you that I MAY BE PULLING OUT ALL MY STORIES from except for 'Boei Academy', 'Blue Eyes' and my 'Collection of Prologues' very soon.
This is because some bitter freak seems to have a grudge against me and keeps reporting me for the stupidest reasons in the world and all my stories get taken down anyway, one of the stories being this one.
It hurts to see my work treated like trash. If this continues, all of my other stories will be found on another website. It saddens me that this freak has nothing better to do in life except for trying to get the admins to take others' stories down. I really appreciate all those of you who have so kindly supported me throughout all of my fics! Your kind words will never be forgotten!

Important Notes:
(1) Just because Li's not a Card Captor in this fic, it doesn't mean he can't keep the suspicious part of his personality, right?
Pairing will probably end up Li/Sakura. But who's to say we can't have a bit of Usa/Li romance in there somewhere? Hm?

Cupid's Arrows: CCS Version
Chapter One
Usagi's Plan

By Angel-Goddess

-:-:-:-:-:-

"I will not tolerate such foolish mistakes. You are to go down there and correct it! As punishment, you shall have to correct it without the use of your higher divine powers!"

"B-but, how do I do that?"

"Well, find a way! And until then, you may not enter this sanctuary!"

-.-.-.-.-

"Mou, this is so not fair." Usagi whined, sitting on the park bench that she was painfully aware of as being the exact same bench that her now-broken-hearted male target had occupied only yesterday. Her eyes flittered about idly. What can I do to fix it? I can't do much without my higher divine powers… She sighed.

Her higher divine powers, in short, consisted of the ability to fly without being seen by the mortals, teleporting and the power to manipulate the love bow and its arrows. She could still apply a few magical spells now and then but she didn't think that it would really help all that much especially since she had found out that her superior had limited her ability to cast multiple mini spells. Now, she could easily get exhausted just casting a spell to make a chocolate sundae. Oh, the horrors or horrors! How would she live without her favourite food?

Oh wait, that's right. She could just conjure up those little square pieces of paper and metal chunks that these strange humans called 'money' to buy it. Well, at least she wouldn't have to starve. But that also meant tiring herself out since she'd have to employ her supernatural skills. And what was she going to do about having a place to settle in while she was down here at earth trying to correct her mistake? She highly doubted she'd be able to produce enough money to buy herself one of those sheltered places that the humans called houses.

"Mou! Not cool." The blonde cupid on suspension whined aloud, her shoulder dropping as more discouraging thoughts started to pile up.

How on earth was she supposed to make Li and Sakura fall in love without the use of love arrows? Can you say, 'impossible'? Unless of course she could somehow severe the bond between Sakura and her new love interest Yukito – all thanks to her earlier work.

She sighed and rubbed her throbbing temples wearily; she'd never thought so much in her whole life. Her job had just gotten harder, maybe impossible… as if it wasn't problematic and challenging enough to start with.

"Ahaha, well, if it isn't Odango."

Usagi stiffened and sweatdropped. Oh, God. "Well, it's nice to see you care about me, Rei." She commented dryly to her rival, not even bothering to look up as she glimpsed a flurry of red feathers in her peripheral vision, revolving around a graceful form before disappearing just as the figure's uncovered feet lightly touched the ground without a sound.

"I heard what happened. Jeez, Odango, you really suck at this job." The raven-haired beauty commented, shaking her head and sending her perfectly straight, waist-length hair swishing smoothly with the gesture. Her large, white wings folded behind her elegantly and vanished in what looked like thin air, but really, it was just the invisibility spell put to work. Rei put her hands on her hips and stood in front of the sulking girl in an attempt to gain the other cupid's undivided attention, although she only she succeeded in making the blonde look up with an obvious lack of interest. Oh well, it'll have to suffice for what she had to say for now.

The top cupid was dressed in her usual robes of white lined with red. She was the favourite of their boss, mainly because she got the job done quickly and without a single word, and that her aim was perfect right down to the 't'.

"What do you want, Rei?" Usagi questioned with a sigh of resignation. She didn't really have to ask. She knew exactly that the other girl had only come to annoy her, insult her poor ability and make fun of the fact that she had to correct her mistake without her higher divine powers. That's what Rei lived for. To breathe down her back, watching over her shoulder with those hawk-like violet eyes that peered at what she did and laughing at her when she did something wrong.

"Oh, you know, I'm just visiting a suspended team-mate since I'm such a kind girl." Rei replied with a shrug, before letting out a short cough. The girl was still sick, which was rather odd. Cupids don't usually get sick and if they did, they'd be able to recover in just a few days off. Sickness amongst them was only caused if they mingled with humans constantly. Which of course, Rei often did because she was always given the greater part of the job. "You know, you're going to have a very hard time trying to get those two together."

Usagi whined, "I know that. Now, could you please leave me alone? I really need to think about how I'm going to do that."

"Suit yourself." Was the smooth reply that slipped from the taller girl's mouth before her wings unfolded and stretched behind her in an almost intimidating way as her shadow covered Usagi's lithe form. Rei took off into the sky in a single smooth movement that Usagi would probably never be able to perfect in a million years before seemingly disappearing into the vast blueness of the heavens above. Usagi stared. She hadn't expected Rei to actually leave at her request. Normally Rei would've stayed to bug her for a just a little while longer. Hmm, she must really be sick then.

With another heavy sigh, the flaxen haired maiden got up and stretched her sore muscles. "Where should I start?" She wondered aloud, taking several steps forward. She stepped on something soft and she impulsively looked down.

Usagi almost felt her heart break. It was the crimson roses that the boy had bought from her for that girl yesterday. She took her foot off it and picked up the damaged roses that had once been an attractive bunch. This was all her fault. If only she'd had paid closer attention to which arrow she had shot…

She frowned. She'd get them back together. Even if it was the last thing she did.

With that thought firmly rooted in her mind, she left the park with the roses, entirely oblivious to the small pink arrow with an array of coppery feathers that had been sitting meekly beneath a tree only a few metres away from the bench.

-.-.-.-.-

Usagi rolled out a large map that she had bought from a store a few minutes ago with a loud rustle onto the large table, scrutinizing it thoughtfully. "Okay, let's see if this works." She incoherently said out loud, pulling out a small crystal attached to a glittering silver string from her pocket. She held the string daintily, letting the small, bright jewel dangle just over the diagram. She closed her eyes and called on her magical store of power. "You, who sail the astral planes, reveal to me the whereabouts of the boy I seek." She commanded in a hushed whisper, releasing a sliver of her magic that passed from her hand in long silver tendrils and cascaded down like water towards the crystal. Her power flowed into the transparent gem until it was shining from the raw energy that had accumulated inside it.

The tiny object circled the map furiously in an attempt to seek what she had asked for a few seconds before a magnetized force pulled the crystal in, plopping in onto the map. Usagi glanced at the name of the suburb.

"Ah, I see. So that's the place to begin." She nodded and pocketed her gem. Standing up, she folded the map and left the private corner of the library that was away from onlookers' prying eyes.

-.-.-.-.-

From atop a tree, Usagi closely observed the students of the school and how they interacted with each other, her attention solely focused on a certain class. Humans acted really funny. Watching interactions between the males and the females made Usagi grin and giggle at their antics. Just from observing them, she could see who liked whom even without the use of her magical sight that allowed her to see who had been struck by love arrows already.

Also, it seem that both her targets were here and coincidentally in the same class, which was very good start.

As she sat there pondering, a small plan started to form in her mind and her cerulean blue eyes danced in mirth. If executed perfectly, Usagi was almost a hundred percent sure that this plan was definitely fail proof. All she had to do … was play her cards right.

-.-.-.-.-

Li watched Sakura as she conversed animatedly with Tomoyo, his heart aching as he recalled what had happened yesterday. Sakura had been avoiding him the whole day, pretending that nothing had ever happened in the recent past. It was obvious she didn't want anything to do with him at the moment and that hurt him.

He saw her glance his direction and their eyes met for a fleeting moment before she broke the eye contact and turned her back onto him. His throat tightened as the feelings of rejection once again took a form of knives that impaled his already broken heart. He bit his lip and turned his head to the left to look out the window in an attempt to take his mind of her. But it was hard, considering she occupied more than half his thoughts.

His sharp gaze was swiftly pulled towards a tree close by when he caught sight of movement, earning his undivided attention and graciously keeping his mind away from a certain object of his affections. He squinted, trying to make clear as to who or what was so well hidden in the dense cover of the green leaves. All he could make out was long ringlets of golden hair. Obviously it was a person.A girl.

Maybe it was a student cutting classes. God knows he wanted to do that right now. It was too sunny to suit his mood; everyone was too cheery to suit his mood… nothing fitted his mood. Glancing around the positive faces of his fellow classmates he let out a sigh, they really had no right to be so happy when he was feeling so down. All he wanted to do right now was go home, curl up in bed and hope that when he woke up, the discomfort and unease between him and Sakura was never there.

He pursed his lips, mentally having a war with himself.

All right, his mind was made up, he was going to cut class like that rebel chick hanging in the tree in the courtyard. He stood up, grabbed his bag and walked out of the classroom, leaving a surprised substitute teacher and the rest of his class open mouthed in his wake.

Sakura watched his form disappear around the corner with a small frown of concern for her friend. "Syaoran-kun…?"

Maybe she'd been too harsh on him by ignoring his attempts to talk to her…

-.-.-.-.-

"Oi, what are you doing up there?" An accusing voice shouted from beneath her just as she was about to reveal her wings and take off.

Usagi shrieked and fell out of the tree in alarm, resisting the urge to stop herself from retracting her wings that were just about to sprout from her back as she dropped like a stone. The next thing she knew, she was lying on top of a warm body that squirmed underneath her.

"Umm, it's not that you're heavy or anything, but do you mind getting off me?" the same voice asked in a slightly irate manner.

Embarrassed, Usagi rolled off the boy and clasped her hands together, "I am so sorry, please forgive me!"

Deep sapphire blues clashed with intriguing chocolate brown ones.

...Eh? Usagi, it's your target! The one whose life you've totally messed up! Her brain screamed in realization as her eyes slowly took in the rest of his form. Yes, it most certainly was the very same boy from yesterday that had bought from her the bouquet of red roses. "I'm so sorry for what I've done! I swear I'll make it up to you!" She gasped, clasping one of his hands in between hers, her eyes tearing up. She was referring to his love life, but he didn't seem to know that.

"Hey, it's okay," He said, pulling his hand roughly away from her warm ones and making her gasp at his brash reaction. He scowled; no one was allowed to touch him like that other than Sakura. He would've never let this girl grab his hand like that had he been more alert. "It's nothing." Hadn't he seen this girl before? Her face certainly seemed familiar… Li racked his brain, there was no way he could forget such a pretty face.

Her twin pools of deep cerulean blue eyes that held kindness and a meaningful depth in them were accented by beautiful, long, dark lashes. Something glittered behind those profound orbs, but Li was unsure of what it was. Her perfect rosy red lips were upturned in a meek, apologetic smile. Apology for what exactly? He was guessing that it was maybe because she had fallen on him. But she needn't worry, there was no real bodily harm done to him. Her face was flawless to the point where she looked too exquisite and surreal to be human. Hah, as if that's ever going to be possible. Her extremely long golden hair that shone radiantly as the gleams of sunlight hit it was pulled into two buns atop her head in such childish style that made him doubt that she was his age… then it hit him.

"I've seen you before, haven't I?" His question was more like a statement. "You're that flower girl from yesterday!" His alert mind started working. This is no mere coincidence. He thought slightly suspiciously, eyes narrowing. (1)

Usagi blinked, masking her surprise. He recognized her? Hm, that's not a good sign. He'd probably think that she was following him around now. Uh, which she was. But that's not the point. He shouldn't know that! It would make her job even harder if he knew she was on his trail, so she hastily denied it, "I do work as a flower sales girl." She lied with a small smile, crossing her fingers behind her back, away from his view. "But I'm not sure whether I've seen you before, young sir."

Li sweatdropped. "Oh, of course." Okay, so maybe he was being a little bit too uptight and vigilant. She was just a sales girl, and she didn't seem to recognize him at all. There were probably dozens of customers to that flower shop. She wouldn't remember an insignificant person like him. But wait, what was she doing here at his school? It was starkly obvious that she was not from his school by the lack of the school's trademark attire. "What are you doing here?" he asked, a diminutive frown settling on his lips.

"I'm attending this school starting tomorrow." She fibbed, well; it wasn't a lie, really. She most certainly was going to be attending this school starting to tomorrow; all she had to do was fill out the enrolment forms at the office today and viola, she's be able to work on getting her targets together up close and personal! It should be cinch… she hoped, anyway. "I've just come to have a look around so that I won't get lost tomorrow."

Li got up from where he had been sitting and dusted his clothes free of dirt before offering a hand to her. "I see." He commented more to himself than to her. "Well, the office is that way." He pointed to a building further down the back of the school.

Glancing at the direction in which he had directed her, she courteously bowed to express her gratitude. "Oh, thank you very much for your help, kind sir." She bubbled amiably, a cheery smile on her lips.

"Yeah, whatever." He intoned quietly, picking up his bag and shouldering it before walking right past her surprised form.

Usagi frowned, saddened, as she watched him walk away from her. She knew exactly what had caused him to suddenly change his attitude so rapidly. He was still very upset over his crush's incident. Nevertheless, she had to make him her friend forher plan to work. "So, I'll see you tomorrow, right?" She called.

He stopped short in mid stance, keeping his back to her. If he was surprised by her words, he didn't make a move to show it. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "If you're in my class."

Usagi grinned, "See you tomorrow then, kind sir!" She shouted to his retreating figure, waving, despite the fact he couldn't see her.

-:-

"Alright, time to put this plan into action. Usagi, you are a genius." She congratulated herself.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-
