Alright, another chapter...dang...I'm running out of ideas although I know what's gonna happened next...okay...that doesn't make a whole lot of sense...^^;;
Oh yeah, I know...Meiling and Syoaran are both five-year-olds in this fic...hmm...I know...but I figure you at least need to go through five years of training before becoming *that* good...anyway, besides from that, Meiling's OOC for right now but it'll be fixed later ^_~
Syaoran's Chinese name is Xiao Lang...and that's what I'm gonna use in Hong Kong, ok?

Chapter 3: The New Kid on the Block
The intellectual five-year-old brown chestnut-haired kid was having a debate with one of his friends when he sensed something coming his way. He turned swiftly around and collided with a girl around his age.
"Xiao Ling!" the ebony-haired girl beamed while smiling at the struggling boy in her arms. Suddenly, her smile vanished and her eyes wide with shock, "Y-you're n-not Xiao Ling!"
The boy, also known as the future leader of Li Clan of his intelligence expressed beyond his age, rolled his eyes, "Yeah, of course I'm not! I'm Xiao Lang, not some kind of Xiao Ling!"
"B-but...you two look so alike...besides the color of the eyes," the girl stammered and noticed unlike Xiao Ling, Xiao Lang had amber eyes.
"Sure, whatever!" Xiao Lang shrugged and turned around coldly to join his friends again.
Meiling shook her head, homesickness suddenly took over her, *I don't wanna be here. I miss Xiao Ling!*
"HEY, YOU!" the whip came down as the master hollered at the petite girl for interrupting the class, "RIGHT OVER THERE! GET BACK INTO PRACTICE!"
Meiling winced as the lash brushed over her cheek marring her face with blood. Confused, Meiling asked the instructor, "What practice?"
"WHAT PRACTICE?!?!?!" the instructor immediately blew up like a train and with a flick of his wrist, he whipped again. "YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Meiling barely dodged the next series of lashes when aid came along.
"Stop it, Cho!" the mistress of the house, Yelan, stepped outside and ordered the instructor, Zheng Cho. She sighed and pointed to Meiling, "This is Li Meiling, she just joined today. Don't be too harsh on her, she's still adjusting to the headquarter."
Reluctantly, Cho lowered his whip and mumbled, "Alright."
Meiling let out a relief sigh although her eyebrows tightly knotted, *I'm scared.*
**********
Sweating, Xiao-Lang wiped the beads of sweat away from his forehead while walking to his room.
Politely, a maid bowed greeting to the young heir, "Good evening, Master Li."
The young heir impatiently waved the maid away while heading towards his room, *These servants bug the creep out of me...gosh, they're everywhere!*
Swiftly he turned a corner.
"OUCH!"
Xiao-Lang collided with a girl coming out of her room. He fell flat on his butts and he rubbed his forehead where a bump is forming.
"Sorry!" a weak voice apologized earnestly. "I didn't mean to..."
"It's alright!" Xiao-Lang snapped, hating how the servants were always so afraid of him. Furiously, he lifted up his brown head to face the girl and stammered, "It's...you!"
Meiling bowed her head slightly and blushed of the fact that Xiao Lang reminded her deeply of Xiao Ling.
Scoffing, Xiao Lang brushed his shoulders, "Just watch where are you going next time."
"Alright," Meiling replied weakly.
**********
After a week of exhausting, intense martial arts training with the stern Zheng Cho hovering over her, Meiling collapsed on the bed.
"Meiling!" Kai sang happily as she opened the door to her favorite mistress. Coming to a stop, she frowned as she sat the tray down on the counter, "What's wrong, Meiling?"
Groaning and moaning, Meiling lifted up her head, "I'll never get the hang of this martial art training!"
Pausing for a moment, Kai began in a hissing voice, "Do you need help?"
"Yeah," Meiling stuffed a savory cracker into her mouth. "How can you help me?"
"Simple," carefully, Kai closed the door behind her, keeping an eye out for Mrs. Chang, "you see, every servant in the Li household knows some scraps of martial arts for emergency use."
Meiling leaped out of her bed, "You mean...you can teach me?"
Kai slowly nodded her head, her eyes shone brightly, "Yes, I can, but we'll have to watch out for Mrs. Chang and Mr. Zheng. They don't like servants mixing with guests in the household."
"Alright!" Meiling beamed, temporarily forgetting the pain she went through in the past week.
Together, a mistress and a maid, pinky-promised.

Dear Xiao Ling,
Guess what, Xiao Ling? I have a new friend
here! She's really nice and she is taking
care of me. I don't like it here and there's
this guy who looks like you except meaner
and he had brown eyes. I wish you were here.
Your best friend in the whole wide world,
Meiling
**********
RIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yawning, Meiling got up for her daily training, which was getting easier now that Kai was helping her, but however, it was not enough to impress the instructor, Zheng Cho.
"Morning, Meiling!" happily, Kai bounced into the room like always.
Meiling yawned, her eyes half-closed, "Morning!"
Kai smiled mysteriously, "Guess what you got!"
"Huh?" Meiling's eyes snapped open and she started jumping up and down. "What do I get? What do I get?"
"This," Kai held up a cage and a bird chirped sweetly.
Oh yeah, I know...Meiling and Syoaran are both five-year-olds in this fic...hmm...I know...but I figure you at least need to go through five years of training before becoming *that* good...anyway, besides from that, Meiling's OOC for right now but it'll be fixed later ^_~
