Author's Note:
I must be doing something right because you're going to read Chapter Three of "A
Promise Never Broken"? I hope you enjoy it, now here is the note.
I have really no clue how the school in Hong Kong, China is, nor who any of their old
classmates names are. I also don't know if Meiling lives with Syaoran or at her own house, but
I'm going to make her live with Syaoran to make things a little bit more interesting. Don't sue
me, I don't own Card Captor Sakura/CardCaptors.
------------------------------------
Chapter Three.
------------------------------------
"I think I'd rather be dressed in our old Tomoeda uniforms," Meiling exclaimed, putting
on the black dress shoes to complete her outfit. "At least they had some colour!" Syaoran had to
admit that she was right. Gray, black, white, and red didn't seem very colourful, infact it seemed
kind of gloomy.
She stood up, and grabbed her bag, and the two headed out the door. The day seemed to
be extremely nice today, and Syaoran, despite the fact of his highschool's new uniform, he found
himself smiling. The sun seemed to be out, with no clouds, and the flowers seemed to be
blooming, including the cherry blossoms.
They reached the doors of the highschool and noticed that they were twenty minutes late.
Meiling sighed softly. "Can't we just go home?" Syaoran shook his head, and opened the door,
walking down the abandoned hall with her till they got to the main attendance office.
"We're the new students. Names are Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling," Syaoran said speaking
in Chinese so that the woman would understand. The woman stood up and looked at her chart.
"Room 157. Please follow me," she said without waiting for a response. She led the two
down the hall, down the stairs and down another hall and to the door which led to the room
'157'. The woman opened the door, and left Syaoran and Meiling standing in the hallway.
"All right, please come in," said the teacher from inside the classroom, Syaoran went in
first then Meiling followed. The teacher was already writing their names on the chalkboard.
"These are our new students, class," he waited for the whispers amongst the kids to stop.
"Their names are Li Xiaolang," he pulled Syaoran to the otherside of him. "and Li Meiling. I
hope you all will be kind enough to help them through the day ahead of them. And I take it you
will be kind and respectful to them, just as they will to you." The rest of the class nodded their
heads. "All right, Xiaolang you may sit in that desk behind Hua-Hua, and Meiling you sit to his
right." The two took their seats, while the rest of the class passed glances at them.
------------------------------------
"Kotchi wo muite yo so mi shinaide daarin. Chanto watashi no soba ni inakucha dame da
yo," Meiling hummed as she walked out the doors of the highschool with Syaoran at her side.
"Tsuyogari datte uragaeshi. Otome-gokoro kyun to setsunai." Syaoran took a glance at her, but
then focused his attention back on the trees.
Meiling paused and looked at Syaoran. "I don't think I like our school," Syaoran looked
at her. "No one seems to talk, and we had to sit alone during lunch. I don't think it's going to get
any better." Meiling sighed.
"It's all right, it will grow on you, just like Tomoeda did."
"Let's go to the park before we go home, okay, Xiao?" Meiling didn't want to keep on
the subject of school or on Tomoeda. Syaoran nodded, and the two walked to the park, sitting
themselves on the swings. Meiling pushed off, bringing her feet infront of her and leaning back,
so to get as much height as it was possible when on a swing. Syaoran yawned softly, swing back
just a little bit.
"Xiao, are you alright?" Meiling said, slowing herself down then usuing the heels of her
feet to have her come to a complete stop. Her shoes would need some cleaning when she got
home, because they were covered in dirt. Syaoran turned to look at him and shook his head. "No,
I'm fine, just a bit homesick I guess?" Meiling frowned slightly. "No, I'm fine, Mei, I'll be
alright, trust me." Syaoran reasured her.
"Well," she took a look at her watch. "We better get going, we have homework to finish."
Meiling said, as Syaoran nodded. He stopped his own swing, and stood, while Meiling did the
same. She grabbed her backpack and flung it around her shoulders, and walked off with Syaoran
down the sidewalk to his house.
Syaoran opened the door to find that his mother had gone off to the store to buy some
materials for the dinner tonight. He sighed slightly, and took of his shoes. Meiling did the same
then walked straight to her room, shutting the door quietly, then setting her backpack near the
chair of her desk.
"You don't mind if I work with you, do you?" Syaoran's voice came from the hallway.
"You can, just I'm going to change before I start." Meiling's voice rang back to him. He nodded,
and walked to his room, changing into a green short sleeved, silk shirt, and matching pants.
He came back out, holding his backpack in his hands, and knocked once again. Meiling
opened the door, and smiled. She had wore twin outfit of his, except it was orange red. Syaoran
entered and sat down on the end of her bed, while Meiling took her seat at her desk.
And the two began to work on their homework when Syaoran heard the sound of the front
behind opened. He stood up and walked over to the door, peeking out to find his mother with a
bag of food for the dinner tonight.
"Hello mother," Syaoran said, while Meiling got up and stood behind him. "I'd like to
cook tonight, if that's alright with you." Syaoran's mother smiled and nodded.
"Alright, Xiaolang. If you want to," she said, walking passed him. "Hello Meiling," she
said as she passed her room, then she continued to walk to her own bedroom.
After only moments after her door was shut, Meiling quickly smiled looking at Syaoran
excitedly. "Can I help!?" Syaoran laughed very lightly and nodded. It would be fun to have some
movement in the kitchen with him.
------------------------------------
Sakura pressed the doorbell near the gate and waited for the voice of a maid to advance.
"Who is it?" Sakura didn't even need to say her full name. "Saku--" the gates opened before she
could even finish saying her name, 'sakura'.
Sakura let a deep breath escape from between her lips before starting to walk down the
path to the doors to Tomoyo's mansion. She took an extremely long time to walk down the path,
because she was nervous on how Tomoyo would act when she saw here there. Sakura wonderd if
she would ask why she didn't call her back as she asked.
She reached the door and quietly knocked, and a few seconds later Tomoyo's mother,
Sonomi, had answered. "Oh, hello, Sakura! Tomoyo is in her room," she smiled. "I can have one
of the maids bring tea if you like." Sakura smiled but shook her head, while entering.
Sakura walked down the halls, which had been completely silent besides the sound of
Sakura's shoes clattering against the floor. She reached Tomoyo's bedroom and quietly took in a
deep breath, then knocked. That instant Tomoyo flung open the doors with a huge smile spread
across her delicate face.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo couldn't resist and embraced Sakura in a tight yet welcoming hug.
Finally, Sakura calmed down and sighed softly, she was no longer nervous because it seemed that
Tomoyo wasn't as upset as Sakura thought she would of been. Sakura hugged her back. "I'm so
glad you're here!" Sakura nodded, and let go the same moment that Tomoyo did so.
Sakura hesitated then put her hand in the pocket of her pants, pulling out a small letter
with the name 'Daidouji, Tomoyo' written acorss the top in pink ink, and then handing it to her.
"For you, Tomoyo." Sakura said as Tomoyo's eyes seemed to swell with tears from either
excitment of worry.
"Oh, Sakura," she said as she stared down at the still unopened letter. Her deep violet
eyes then met Sakura's emerald ones, and she couldn't help but smile, dispite that there were
tears silently streaming down her cheeks.
She looked down the the envolope, then motioned for Sakura to sit down. Sakura took a
seat on the end of her bed, and Tomoyo followed, sitting next to her. Carefully Tomoyo ran her
finger under the slip opening it, then pulling out a letter which was written in pink ink. She
unfolded it very carefully and let her eyes scan the letter slowly, like she was taking in every
single word Sakura had wrote with extremely delicate care.
She began to cry with happiness as her eyes finally ran over the end of the last sentence,
which read, 'But the truth, Tomoyo, I love you, too.' She folded the letter back up, and looked at
Sakura allowing her lips to curl into a gentle smile.
Before Tomoyo could say anything at all, Sakura had pulled her into a tight hug. Sakura
was in tears again. This was true happiness, that's all she knew.
------------------------------------
"Hey, I got a letter from Sakura," Syaoran said as he stared at the letter addressed to him.
He turned and walked back into the house, setting the rest of the mail on the table, then walking
to Meiling's bedroom's door, and gently tapping.
"Meiling, I got a letter from Tomoeda!" The door instantly opened at the sound of
'Tomoeda', and meiling stared at him, a bit startled by his announcement. "From who?!" Meiling
was still a bit jealous, and she knew it was from Sakura, she wouldn't need to be told. Syaoran
opened it and read aloud.
"Dear Syaoran,
I hope you're doing well. Life is fine back here in Tomoeda, and everyone misses you,
mostly Tomoyo and I. So, How is Meiling doing? I hope she's good, will you do me a favour and
tell her that I said 'hello'? Maybe ask her to send me a letter as well?
I've got news.. Eriol is back in Tomoeda for the next two weeks, and he seemed to be a
tad bit upset that his 'kawaii descendant' wasn't here, he told me to tell you that he wishes you the
best in Hong Kong, and he wants to know when you're coming back, so he can visit again?
I know it's been only two weeks, but I'm wondering, too.. When will you come back to
Tomoeda? Will you visit sometime?
Forever,
Sakura Kinomoto"
Meiling sighed in relief. "That's all?" Syaoran nodded. "Well, I guess I'll write Kinomoto
a letter back, I have nothing else to do on this boring Saturday afternoon." Syaoran nodded, and
walked off to his room, leaving Meiling to her writing.
"A letter to Kinomoto, I can do that, I guess," she said to herself as she grabbed a sheet of
lined paper and set it on her desk, then pulling out a scarlet pen, and beginning to write.
"Dear," she said aloud as she let her pen scribble letters on the paper. Should she call her
Kinomoto or Sakura? She figured it'd be best to be polite so she wrote 'dear Sakura' instead of
'Kinomoto'. She continued to write the letter.
Dear Sakura,
All is well in Hong Kong, and both Syaoran and I are doing fine. Things could be better
though, because life attending the highschool is just.. stupid, it's such a stupid school! I'll tell
you one thing, I'd be so happy if would use baby blue in the uniforms like they do at your
highschool, but nope, it just has to be that ugly mix of grey, black, white and red. It's so ugly if
you ask me.
How is life back in Tomoeda, and how is Eriol? I never really got to know him as well as
I would like to, but tell him that I say 'hello'. We have still yet to find a date to come back down
to Tomoeda, but I'd love to visist, because, to tell the truth both Syaoran and I don't really know
anyone here in Hong Kong except for our family and it gets very, very, very, very, very (and the
'very' could go on forever!) boring at times!
Sorry for not writing much, I'm extremely busy today, but reply as soon as possible!
Sincerely,
Meiling
"Sorry for not writing as much, I'm extremely busy today," Meiling snicked slightly as
she repeated that one sentence from her letter, she was such a good, innocent, little liar. She
folded the letter so it would fit perfectly into the envolope, and then addressed it with Sakura's
address. She took out a small stamp and licked the back very lightly so she wouldn't have to taste
that icky paste, and then set it on the top right corner of the envolope. She then set the neatly
written envolope on the corner of desk, then left the room, off to the kitchen.
"I guess I'll just make some snacks for me and Xiao," she said as she pulled open the
door to the refrigirator and began to rumage through the food that was sitting on the shelfs.
"Some noodles, a bowl of fruit, and.. some green tea!" She said aloud as she grabbed the things
she would need to cook it all.
She began to set some pots onto the stove and then began to boil water. Once it seemed
hot enough, she tossed in the hardened noodles, and then went to the cupboard rummaging for
some seasoning for flavour. She found some and dumped it in as the noddles slowly began to
soften. then it was off to the fruits.
She sat the contents on the cutting board, and then grabbed a knife, and began to chop
each one into four peices, and setting each peice into a glass bowl. She mixed them slightly so
the diffrent fruits were scattered amongst the bowl.
She went back to the stove and stirred the contents, then turned off the heat, and poured
the noodles into two bowls, one for her, and one for Syaoran. She then added a pair of
chopsticks to each bowl, and set them near the bowl of fruit.
She paused. "Okay, what am I missing now?" Meiling questioned herself. Tea. She was
missing tea! She quickly made some green tea and poured them into two cups.
Meiling then ran back to the hall and down to Syaoran's bedroom's door, not taking the
time to knock she walked in to find Syaoran reading a book. "Hello Xiao," she smiled to him,
and he looked up from his book to find her standing only a few feet infront of him.
"Hello Meiling," he thought about asking her why she was here, but he decided not to.
"I've made some noodles and fruit, would you like any?" Syaoran blinked at her question.
He was hungry, and the sound of noodles and fruit was tempting, and he knew Meiling didn't
poison it, so he nodded and smiled slightly, setting his book down on his nightstand.
"Great!" Meiling exclaimed, grabbing Syaoran by the hand and practically dragging him
out of the room and to the kitchen table where Meiling's home cooked meal sat neatly. she sat
down in one of the chairs, and Syaoran sat on th opposite side of her.
"You, Xiao, take the first bite and tell me what you think? I know you'll love it, and I
think that we have some dim sum, too," Meiling said, watching Syaoran take his first bite of
noodles.
Syaoran, although, seemed to be more excited. Dim sun, oh my gosh, yum! That was
Syaoran's favourite food, and everytime he took a bite it was like he was melting away in good
feelings. "Mmmm," was all that escaped Syaoran's lips, either from Meiling's cooking or the
thugh of dim sun, but it didn't matter to Meiling, she obviously thought it was because of her
cooking, so she simply smiled and giggled softly, then beginning to eat her own food as well.

Well, minna-san? Enjoy? I'm glad you made it this far and accually read chapter three!
Stay tooned, chapter four it's on it's way, and believe me.. it'll be all worth while for my fellow
MeiLI die hard fans, because something unexpected is going to happen! (Chapter four is
dedicated to CardCaptor Girl!)
