A.N. Okay peeps, chapter 3! YAY! You love me! Okay, I started a ritual for this story, I think of a quote for the chap!
Quote of the Chappie: It's not enough to be good if you have the ability to be better ~Alberta Lee Cox
Thankies Kita and Lady Kazune Kikenshi! *hugs ya tightly*
Okay, in my story Meilin is Syaoran's best friend from Japan, so she is not related to Li in any way. Also, many people's have magic, but there are no clow cards, and I might put Kero in Yue in here somewhere. Also, Li belongs to a family corporation, not a clan. I think that's about it. Oh, and this will be in Syaoran's POV, unless otherwise it will be in 3rd person. Any notes, no more. Oh, and it might be in Liao's POV, too later!
Disclaimer: I want to be SUED! So I own CCS! (please note my sarcasm here....)

************************************************
I've had a great life so far, I mean, I have a loving father, and an obsessive aunt and a worrisome grandmama, I just love that word, hee hee! My, It's been so long, but right now, I'm watching TV, the news, after all, I do have an assignment to do.
"Today on the news, Li Corporation is working up the markets faster than any company in history..." I tune them out until I see a picture, it's me, and my father, still handsome at 28 years old.... "Xiao Lang Li and Liao Li live a secluded life in HK, but they are very kind to others, Mr. Li donates to charities...." Phhhtttt, I already know this stuff.
That's right, it's me, Liao Li, at 10 and still going. See, the reason we're on the news is 'cause surprisingly, my dad was able to bring back Li Corps, I knew we were broke, but just this year, it's made millions and helped support my aunt and grandmama, plus me.
I always wondered what happened to my mother, it's so noticeable, but then I see that hollow look in papa's eyes, and I just can't ask anymore. I wonder what she looked like. I developed my father's traits, same face, structure (though more feminine), chocolate wavy hair and amber eyes, very intense. I don't know my mom, but it's okay, I know she's alive, but why????
What else? Um, I go to a public school. It doesn't matter that I'm rich. My dad wants to make me happy, so I go to Shien Ken Elementary. Everyone's so friendly, they don't even care that I'm rich. Plus, I've had a few guys come home to meet dad, and he was nice to them, no overprotectiveness. I also have my best friend, Toby, from Australia, he's nice, and very suave, you'll meet him later, hopefully.
I love martial arts, I'm good at all subjects, and I'm very punkish, but have a cheerful demeanor if I do say so myself...Hee hee! What else, I'm indulging myself, ha. I happen to be very conceited. I know it and am PROUD to show it, though no one thinks I'm stuck up at all.
I see dad walk into the condo. "Hi sweetie. How was school?" He's so nice, and all more stuff. See we live a condo, we didn't want a mansion, too big, and the condo's real nice with lots of green and yellow, the colors I love, my room is perfect and all, I love it here, many pictures of me and my cousins, you'll meet them too, rambling again, sorry.
" School was great, I only have SS Assignment left to do now."
" That's so great, you know what to do."
" So how was work?"
" Tiring, as usual, and you know how Suppi is." I laughed at that, he was a friend of the family and was a klutz surprisingly, he seemed to have so much grace.
" Yes, but you love me so much right?" I have daddy wrapped along my finger.
" I do, now after you finish, let's train a bit, 'kay? I'm going to change. I would take a shower, but I know I'll get sweaty all over again." There goes my dad, Xiao Lang Li. He's still cute, he grew his hair, it's tied into a little ponytail at the base of his neck, but it's very smooth and shiny. He's still tall, no grey hairs or wrinkles. He looks 21 still, but hey, it runs in the family.
I hurry to finish, then I leave to change into my gi. It's yellow with a very intriguing design of angels and dragons on it. I have more, but this is my fav. I walk down to the hallway to the extra room which we changed into a dojo.
" You ready?" My father surprises me sometimes, he's so quiet and very slick.
" I hate when you do that."
" I know, but you'll get that good too." I hat when he says that.
" OKay then, I got my glaive, you get you katana."
" Already have it." He reaches under his shirt to his pendent, and changed it into a katana, since his old sword was too little for him like 5 years ago.
" You're going to have to teach me that." Yes, you heard right. I DO have magic, and a good load of it, though I haven't learned much, just last week I learned to harness elements, but there's so much more I need to know: To cure, to transfer magic to my weapon, to harness other magic for good, to detect auras (mines is yellow by the way..) to shield auras, etc. etc.
" Okay, but later. Today we're working on swordsmanship and harnessing the elements again." I groaned at this, and daddy took notice. He looked at me with warm eyes that seemed to make his green dragon gi stand out as well.
" If you want to be like me, you have to get basics. Trust me, if I found a shortcut, I would have taught you it." I love him, he's so sensitive to me. I should tell you, I've tried to make him go on dates, but he finds no interest in them....
" Okay so you show me what your worth, Liao. That glaive is a tricky weapon." He's right. It has a black staff with a sharp u-shaped gold knife that's on top. I love this, it's so like Hotaru from Sailor Moon.
He swings at me with a left front, and I dodge it. I know my dad can go faster, but then he wouldn't be able to train me, you see. I then tried to poke him with the staff end, but he dodges that, so I feint to the right and tried to uppercut him with the knife part. He blocks it by sticking his sword between the two pointed knifes. I ball-bat swing it but father jumps too high and lands on top of it. I hate that....He stands there mocking me while I try to figure out something to catch him with. I have an idea though. I made it so I tucked and rolled, then leaped back and punched with the staff. It hits him in the hip, I can see he's surprised. And do a rotate block, and a side kick,, and my dad is disarmed AND on the floor. He dusted himself up.
"Great Job, you're improving, and I liked that new move. Intriguing if I must say." I had to roll my eyes, I was embarrassed, but when the last 5 word were said in an english accent, it just messed it up.
"Aw, papa."
"C'mon, you're 10. Let's see what you're made of.." After that, we worked on elements, and I got them all! YAY! I would tell you, but it was a gruesome 4 hours and it was 2 A.M, and I would LOVE to bore you out, but I'd BORE myself first, heh!
"Go to bed, Liao. I'll be up in a minute." I listen to him and trudge up the stairs that seemed to stretch on forever. I go and get dressed in my lemon yellow Pjs, and head to bed.
Papa comes up, and walks to my bed. "Liao, you were great. I'm sorry we got sidetracked, if you like, you can sleep in tomorrow. I'm off, we can do whatever we want, even go to the skate park." Oh, I am also a HUGE skateboarder punk, if you know what I mean......
Papa kisses me goodnight, and leaves. I sighed and thought, 'What a wonderful father I have.....'
