~Chapter 1~

Eriol Hiiragizawa stood alone at the deserted cemetery, under the gray sky. His gloomy eyes looked upon the grave in front of him with such remorse and agony that one could have guessed that a part of his life was shattered. His once azure eyes that shined with life and happiness seemed now to be lost and blind.

The flowers brought to honor the dead were clenched in his hands, while tears of pain slowly released itself from the young gentleman's eyes. Such misery for only one death, a death that took away a happiness, a happiness that was cherished by one loved person, a loved person that now stood alone regretting the past.

"Master it is time to head home." whispered Suppi quietly afraid to disturb the silence Eriol was surrounded by.

"I did not have the chance to tell her Suppi." Started Eriol silently as he paused for a brief moment, "I haven't told Kaho how much I loved her."

"Master." Spoke Suppi in sorrow to see such a young man in such depression.

"If I was there to save her." cried Eriol in anguish, as the grip around the flowers started to shake.

"It's not your fault master. Destiny brought this misery upon you, you have nothing to be guilty of." Spoke Suppi trying his best to counsel his master.

"If I had pushed her away from that car, she wouldn't have died. She wouldn't have left me alone." Continued Eriol in desolation, apparently not taking Suppi's words into consideration.

"Master please don't blame this situation onto yourself." Pleaded Suppi.

"I could have done something Suppi!" called out Eriol in anger at his incapability.

"No master, you couldn't. You're just a man. A young man." whispered the guardian quietly.

Eriol stood there in silence as he felt the rain pour itself upon his disturbed figure. His midnight hair fell upon his eyes as the mixture of the rain combined with the salty tears of his eyes. Looking up, Eriol left the rain wash his face in refreshment, as there he stood in deep thoughts.

"Just a man you say? No, I'm no ordinary man Suppi. I am also the most powerful mage in the world." he whispered in realization, as a small smile began to tug itself from his face.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"This is insane!!!!" called out Suppi in terror as his master stormed into the vast library he owned at his mansion.

"It's brilliant. How come I had never thought about this before?" called out Eriol in great bliss as he ignored his guardian's calls.

"You can't go back into time master, it is too dangerous!" shouted Suppi louder in hopes that Eriol would listen.

"How can it be dangerous? I know how to control my magic enough to make the Time Card work." Explained Eriol.

"This is insane master! I know your powerful, but you also have to take into consideration the consequences there will be if you change the past!" spoke the guardian logically.

"Who cares about the consequences? All I want is Kaho back by my side!" he concluded, as he picked up a certain red book from the bookshelves.

Suppi angered by his master's irrational actions, quickly flew up and took the book away from Eriol's hands, before he could unlock it.

"Give the Clow Book back to me Suppi." Urged Eriol as he looked towards the flying guardian that now stood far away from him.

"Not until you come back to your commonsense."

Eriol frowned, "I'm loosing my patience with you Suppi."

"I don't care. As long as you're safe here in the present, I will accept any torture you apply onto me."

"Do you realize that I'm in misery and that your keeping me away from the one thing that might bring me back to my happiness." spoke Eriol, while staring up towards his guardian.

"Now I won't ask you again. Give me back the Clow Book, or I swear that you will wish you were never been created." He slowly concluded his last words in a threatening tone.

"Master, hear me. There is no guarantee that you will be going back to the same past you had. This might be a different past, with different people, and different scenario. What are the possibilities that you will end up in the same past you had just 1 week ago during the car accident?" explained Suppi.

Eriol stood there in silence, contemplating what he had just heard. It was true. Suppi was right, there was a very little chance he would go back to the right past.

Clow Reed was a wise man. He knew the consequences of changing the past. A whole future could be changed with one modification. That is why Clow Reed gave the Time Card the permission to send a person back towards another past, totally different from the reality that person lived in.

"Master I'm sorry." Spoke Suppi a bit guilty, as he saw realization dawn into his gloomy eyes.

Eriol kept his silence, as he looked down from his guardian.

"You should take the risk." Spoke a female voice.

Eriol looked towards the figure that stood leaning against the wall, as she smiled contently towards her master. Her long reddish hair cascaded itself from her back, where two pairs of butterfly wings were located. Pushing herself away from her spot, the guardian slowly walked towards the young man and gave him a tight hug.

"You should go master." She whispered silently. "There is a chance that you may save her."

"Your mad!!!" called out Suppi as he flew down and hit Ruby Moon with the Clow Book.

"Ouch!" she called out, "What was that for?"

"For not helping!" he complained.

"Your right." Whispered Eriol as a small smile emerged form his face.

"NO! She isn't right!!!!" panicked Suppi.

"Of course I am." She teased, but then spoke with seriousness. "Master I want you to be careful. If you go back to the wrong past, you will have to wait 1 or 2 weeks until your able to return and your magic has to be precise. Promise me you will be cautious."

"No he will not promise you anything, for he will be staying! I forbid him to leave this place!" called out Suppi in irritation.

"I promise." Spoke Eriol with a smile, as he embraced Ruby Moon in great gratitude for her support. Suppi gaped with disbelief.

"Master you can't leave!!!" urged Suppi. "What if you can't come back? What if you're not able to save Kaho? What if your magic fails you?" he questioned.

"Relax Suppi!" answered Ruby Moon coolly. "He will manage it."

"Besides." Spoke Eriol smiling, "I'm not just a simple young man."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Wishing his master good luck and a safe trip, his two guardians stood back from their master, as they watched intently.

Eriol smiled in appreciation, for it had taken a long time until they had convinced Suppi of giving the Clow Book back. He then looked down at the Time Card, which was held tightly between his fingers. Closing his eyes in concentration, Eriol focused his attention towards his magic, as his heart hoped that he would be able to go back to the right past.

With the Clow staff on hand, Eriol touched the tip of the staff with the card, as a strong aura surrounded the young gentleman. A light enveloped the figure, as a strong gust blew forward, pulling Eriol into a tunnel of bright lights. Twirling him into an endless cycle.
