A/N: Sorry I haven't been writing in a while. Actually I have a crap load of schoolwork to do and I felt guilty for leaving you people hanging. So here is a chapter in my lateness. Yes, I know its short, but this will have to do for now, until then, keep looking—and hoping.

Chapter 7: Recalling Recent Memories
Sakura sat on top the Li family's rooftop comfortably relaxing as sunrise came upon Hong Kong. It had been her daily routine for the past few weeks since school started: wake up early, attend school, and spend time with the Li family, study, train, then sleep. Her routine was slightly changed on weekends when most everyone slept in later than the usual, do a few chores, then training would commence.
Sakura quietly gazed at the sun recalling things that have happened since she had stayed here so far. After breakfast, Wei brought them to the back of the house to train in the dojo. Every once in a while, Meiling would drop by and Wei would spar with them or had them challenge each other. Apparently, Syaoran didn't have to will to strike at Sakura with full force. Due to her gymnastic abilities Sakura had excelled quickly. Soon enough, Syaoran, Meiling and Sakura could sense each other's movements and attack in faultless synchronization.
When training sessions were over, Sakura would get personal tutoring from Siefa and Feimei. Chinese wasn't as easy to master as Sakura had assumed. They taught her that Chinese is a pictorial language, not a phonetic language. One word can same but it may many meanings, and is always drawn differently.
"For instance," Siefa had said the other day, "the word 'Li' has sixteen different meanings alone." Feimei had told her "Ironically, some people can write the language but never speak it at all." Sakura was amused by that thought and it made her try harder to learn the language.
Sakura was lost in memory not long ago. Her eyes were closed, just smiling at the thought of being in China. Her mind averted her attention to the person calling her name from down below.
"Syaoran-kun?"
"Come on down, you'll be late for breakfast."
"Hai."
Sakura stood up and accidentally slipped on a loose roof tile. Syaoran didn't have time to use an element card, he dashed and swiftly caught her in his arms.
They both blushed, he remembered to put her down.
"…see you at breakfast."
