Dear Tori, Koe and Honey,

We're glad to hear that. Is it busy at the shrine?

Are you friends with Mei-Li, Koe?

Father and Aunt Sonomi are working to develop the Book of Memories which should help healers treat the Ko Infection. Apparently there are a lot of cases in Heung Gong. They're testing it right now in the hospitals.

Mother is busy with Lecourt Fashion Week and my brother is busy with his part time jobs, and university.

We last saw Emmi and Leo at Tomoyo's birthday. They're all busy with their duties and university studies.

Also, it doesn't look like I can go on the exchange anymore. But we might be able to go sometime for a holiday in the future and you should come over here to Lecourt!

Miss you,

Sakura Kinomoto


Dear Miss Meiling Li,

I hope that you and your kin are well. The weather in Lecourt is crisp and the leaves have begun to turn golden. Nevertheless, we are all well and healthy here.

In one of our previous correspondence, I mentioned that my Mother was developing a prototype for the Book of Memories. A prototype has been sent with this letter, and we would appreciate your assistance in evaluating and providing feedback for the design.

The intended purpose of the Book of Memories is to aid healers with the recovery of individuals with psychological diseases including the Ko Parasite.

Any feedback that you may have would be most helpful.

Also enclosed within this letter's envelope is a photograph of my adorable cousin wearing a gown made using the brocade fabric purchased at the Grand Bazaar of Byzantium. Please feel welcome to share this photograph with your family members.

Unfortunately, as of late, the subject of this photograph has not been smiling as frequently. Of course, the events involving the feather and Central Library had much influence to her mood. However, I believe that she is feeling most upset about not being able to partake in the exchange program with Heung Gong High School. I suspect that she additionally guilty when I said I would not attend the program without her. I apologize, Meiling, however I am sure you understand.

Furthermore, mother has expressed reluctance in the prospect of me sharing living accommodations with fellow students, especially since my bodyguards would not be allowed to stay on the school premises.

Currently, I am working to convince my family to allow my cousin the opportunity to attend this program as I believe that the only way to uplift her spirits is for her to have new experiences.

Recently, I have been informed that you have a potential suitor. May I further enquire as to who this individual may be? As our precious friend, my lovely cousin and I would prefer to learn about such important life developments from you instead of a third party. Our main concern is for your happiness.

I will update you on any further developments and I look forward to your response.

With kindest personal regards,

Tomoyo Daidouji


Dear Star,

Honey's powers have developed rapidly recently and Big Sister Tori and I are really worried. The other day Honey was suddenly possessed by a ghost. It was a peaceful ghost and passed on without a fuss and Honey wasn't scared, but what if next time she becomes possessed by a harmful spirit?

Mother wants Honey to train this ability so that she can perform summons and exorcisms in the future even though she's so young. It would be safer for her to learn how to control this power, but we still don't feel comfortable about this. But Honey is such a good girl that she says she doesn't mind.

Yup. She tells us all of these funny stories she has from her and Li's time in Lecourt. She visited the shrine the other day to buy a love charm. Big Sister Tori, and Honey like her a lot.

Don't sound so sad, Star. Big Sister Tori said that she dreamt that you and Lady would be coming to Heung Gong soon. So don't lose hope! Everything will be all right!

Keep smiling,

Kobato Hanato


Dear Miss Kinomoto,

Heung Gong is a completely safe place even if you don't have magical powers. There are a number of students here that don't have any. And you'll have me and the Li Clan to look after you and your relatives as well! You'll be completely safe!

I'll ask my Aunt to send a message to your parents. She and the rest of the clan were looking forward to meeting you.

Miss Pharle will be fine. Don't worry about her.

Mr Flowright? Seriously? Well at least that promises to be interesting.

I've never talked to Mr Ascot.

I have some books on the Meridian System, the flow of chi in the body. Syaoran probably has some books on Fung Seoi. I'll see if he can lend you some. If you need help translating the pieces, I'll be glad to help you.

And did Koe tell you that? Not that it matters. I broke up with him already.

Do you have a boyfriend, Miss Kinomoto?

By the way, I met the elder sister, Tori, and the younger sister, Honey the other day when I went to their shrine to buy one of their charms.

Tori's personality also reminds me of yours, Miss Kinomoto while Honey's personality more resembles Miss Daidouji. Honey is so mature for an eleven year old.

Remember your invincible spell,

Meiling Li


Dear Miss Daidouji,

The weather is a little cooler here too.

Thank you for prototype. Attached are the following suggestions to the clinical trials.

My family really like the photograph. Syaoran's sisters all love her and the gown. They want to know if you have any other designs that you'd like to show them.

Speaking of photographs, I've included a photograph of Syaoran studying and another one of his sisters and me disturbing his study.

And speaking of studying, here is a book on negative energy that I think you might find useful to your research project. Don't forget to credit me in your award winning paper.

Well, you should be pleased to know that I am no longer in said relationship and am much happier. I promise that I'll at least let you know if there is someone else. Are you in a relationship?

Any update on whether or not you will be coming to Heung Gong?

Sincerely,

Meiling Li


Dear Koe,

Please excuse this short letter. We have some assignments and exams coming up soon. Do you have some as well?

Honey is only eleven, isn't she? Her powers are so strong at such a young age. I hope that she will be okay.

Hoe! That's so embarrassing. What has she been telling you?

I'm not sad, I'm smiling. See?

Don't worry, everything will be all right. Except this mathematics homework.

With love,

Sakura Kinomoto


Dear Meiling,

No need to do that Meiling. I've decided that it's probably better for me to stay here. Thank you for offering to help.

Thank you for sending me the books. This should be plenty to keep me busy for the time being. When would he like the book returned? Please thank him on my behalf for letting me borrow the book.

I really liked the photos you sent Tomoyo. I borrowed Tomoyo's camera and took it to school one day. It's a new model from Aunt Sonomi's company. Here are some photos of the Bartitsu Club.

Are you all right, Meiling?

And what are you telling Koe?

No, nothing's changed. I've been busy preparing for exams.

Thank you,

Sakura Kinomoto


Dear Miss Meiling Li,

How are you? I believe your examinations are soon. Here in Lecourt, winter has come and so have the end of semester examinations.

Thank you for the photographs and for the books on Yin magic. It was extremely informative and it shall help my research.

It is my pleasure to inform you that the clinical trials were deemed a success and the Daidouji Company will begin production and distribution of the Book of Memories. If you have any contacts in Heung Gong and Zhonguo that may be interested in purchasing the book, please let me or my mother know.

I am not in a relationship.

Cousin Toya and I have managed to convince our parents to let us attend Heung Gong High School on the condition that Sakura improves here scores in all subjects. She is working hard.

The elder Kinomoto sibling has also applied and received a scholarship to complete a semester at the Heung Gong University. With our parents busy with the launch of the Book of Memories we argued that it would be a safer alternative for Sakura to attend the Heung Gong High School where there will be family close by and supervision of the teachers.

I kindly ask that you do not notify anyone of this development as in the case of us going, but instead pray for our success.

Sincerely,

Tomoyo Daidouji


Dear Miss Kinomoto and Miss Daidouji,

Sorry, I have exams really soon and my head is about to explode but I wanted to send a letter.

Exams are soon.

Let me know what's happening,

Good luck,

Meiling Li


Dear Meiling,

Sorry for the late reply, but Tomoyo and I going to Heung Gong! And I came 75th in the grade for mathematics! Tomoyo came first in mathematics this year.

Somehow my Brother and Tomoyo managed to convince our parents to let us go on the condition that I do well in the exams. He's coming too, but on an exchange program with his university.

I didn't want to tell you about the deal until I found out for certain. But we're going. I know it is short notice but we're going to be spending the New Years there. Will we be able to meet you around this time before classes start?

How did your exams go?

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Sakura


Dear Miss Meiling Li,

As you may know, Sakura and I are going to Heung Gong. I ask that you keep this a surprise from everyone, and tell her that you are busy to meet up during the New Year period. I propose that we make the reunion between my dear cousin and yours a surprise. It would be better to ascertain their true feelings if their meeting was a surprise on both their parts. I am certain that Sakura is denying her true feelings and would like her to face them.

You may, however, tell Sakura that everyone is expecting her.

Do you have any suggestions on how to arrange this meeting?

Kindest regards,

Tomoyo Daidouji


Dear Honey, Koe and Tori,

Tomoyo, Brother and I going to Heung Gong! We're so excited!

Do you want any souvenirs from Lecourt?

Can't wait to see you all,

Sakura


My Dear Cousins,

As you may know, we are very excited to see you soon in Heung Gong.

However, as I have told Cousin Tori in a dream and as you may previously know form meeting with Mei-Li, I request for you to keep this a secret from your classmates and especially Li.

Most Sincerely,

Tomoyo Daidouji


Dear Miss Kinomoto and Miss Daidouji,

That's so exciting! I've told everyone and they're really excited. Can you bring some cheese, please. I have a terrible craving for it. And cocoa, please.

I'll be busy during the whole New Year period with Clan duties, but I'll see you at school.

I did well in the exams. Sixth in mathematics is all right considering I was in Lecourt for three years. But Syaoran managed to come first. So frustrating.

Looking forward to seeing you here,

Meiling Li


Dear Miss Daidouji,

I haven't told anyone. But we had a close call. We had to involve one of the girls and her loudmouth boyfriend who is friends with Syaoran. They're staying at the dorms and she recognized your names on the list for next semester. Don't worry. Crisis averted.

We can meet at one of the viewing platforms at the Peak on the fourth day of the first month when some stores open up again. Your cousins know where this is. And then afterwards, I can take you all to have lunch at the Li Mansion.

Will you be able to use the chronophones in Heung Gong?

From,

Meiling Li


Dear Star and Lady,

Hooray! We're so excited. We heard from our parents the day before your letter arrived. It will be a little busy and crowded around the shrine during the New Year. I hope you are all okay with this.

And sorry for the late reply, we had exams here.

Don't worry about bringing anything.

Actually, can you bring some cocoa?

See you soon!

Kobato Hanato


Dear Miss Meiling,

That sounds like a wonderful plan. My mother has given us new chronometers telephones that can be used anywhere in the world. Our traces are still the same.

I look forward to seeing you in the near New Year,

Tomoyo Daidouji


Dear Koe, Tori and Honey,

Okay, I'll pack a lot of cocoa for you.

See you in a couple of days.

Sakura Kinomoto


Dear Meiling,

That's all right. I understand. I'll see you soon when school starts. I can't wait!

My bag is filled with cheese and cocoa waiting for you.

Good wishes and good fortune to you and your family.

Sakura Kinomoto


Author Notes:

Dear Readers,

How are you? I'm fine. The weather is being temperamental.

Thank you for reading this story, submitting reviews, favouriting and following it. =)

I've decided to rename this whole story "The Sakura Chronicles" and continue directly with the Heung Gong Arc. Below is the summary for the Heung Gong Arc that I was going to use:

Sakura and Tomoyo have decided to spend a semester in Heung Gong, Zhonguo, where Meiling (and he) lives. But their families are worried; the city is one of the most spiritually dense and unpredictable places in the world. Despite this and even though she doesn't have magical powers herself, Sakura is sure that everything will be all right. Right?

Also, this will be the last letter. The usual narrative structure will return with the next chapter which will most likely be "late"... sorry. There's still a lot of plot holes that need fixing. But I will update!

Hope to hear from you soon ;)
