Sakura, Sakura Blossom blowing here and there; Cherry flowers pink and white, Sending forth into the air all their spring time fragrance fair; Sakura

Sa-ku-ra Mi-ni Yu-ka-n

Sakura Blossom bright, pink and white

Sakura watched the pink and white blossoms of the Sakura tree float to the ground, she smiled and breathed in their sent, turning Sakura faced her partner Mei Lin Rae and got into a fighting stance, her Shoju (Razor sharp fans, AN I have no idea what their called, so just pretend) in hand and she flipped them out, covering all her face but her eyes. Mei Lin smiled and pulled out a katana that had been secured at her waist and got into a similar fighting stance. Both eyes locked the two girls scrutinized the other before simultaneously rushing at each other. Sakura spun her wrists in a series of complicated twists and turns as she tried to get her "enemy", Mei Lin dodged gracefully around Sakura's attacks and jabbed with her katana, in a split second both had stopped moving, Mei Lin's katana stuck between two razor sharp Shoju. Sakura twisted away and went back into a fighting stance. Mei Lin did the same. Sakura quickly flip closed her Shoju and looked back at Mei Lin.

As Sakura went at Mei Lin again she did a series of flips and landed behind her and kicked Mei Lin in the back of the knees, Mei Lin rolled away from Sakura and pulled herself on to her feet again, crouching down low, both arms out wide and her fans in a fan like shape. Sakura smiled, 'that's my move' she smirked to herself and spun vertically over Mei Lin grabbed her by the shoulders and flipped her over her head. Mei Lin cursed loudly and flipped to land on her feet. She stood and looked at Sakura and then threw her katana away, Sakura Smirked and watched as Mei Lin launched herself at Sakura. Mei Lin moved gracefully through her moves, punching and kicking here and there while Sakura blocked and returned some blows herself.

With a last swiping kick Sakura pinned Mei Lin beneath her and grinned brightly.

"Fist time I won" she squealed as she pushed away from Mei Lin and helped up the older girl. Mei Lin grinned back at her. 'She's ready' she thought as she watched the younger girl do some cartwheels in her enthusiasm.



Sa-I-ta Sa-ku-ra Ha-na-mi-te mo-do-ro Ha-na Mi-te Mo-do-ro Tat-su-ta wa mo-mi-ji

Saita, Sakura spring and summer greet each tree, Spring and summer greet each tree, maple glow in tatsuta

karasaki's perfumed pine tokiwa tokiwa come with me, come and see

Sa-ku-ra Sa-ku-ra

Sakura, Sakura

Mei Lin watched Sakura for a moment before clearing her throat. Sakura stopped mid hand stand and looked up at the up-side down Mei Lin, blushing slightly Sakura straightened herself up and walked back over to her partner and bowed and Mei Lin bowed in return. Sakura smiled and was about to talk when Mei Lin beat her to it.

"Have you ever heard of the Zaiozu Martial Arts School in Hong Kong?" She asked raising an eyebrow. Sakura looked at Mei Lin for a moment before shaking her head. Mei Lin grinned.

"Well, I just happen to be related to the Li clan and they are the people who set up the school. Oh you'll be perfect and you can kick some butt while your there." Mei Lin said grinning, she had been sent to Japan to scout for any people with magical powers and then send them to Hong Kong for training. Mei Lin had done more then that, she had sent on a few before hand but had stayed and trained Sakura with her magic and fighting skills before she sent her to Hong Kong. Sakura had actually possessed a large amount of magic and already knew how to fight mostly from her older brother but some she had actually taught herself. Smiling she watched as Sakura's face lit up.

"Can Oni-chan come as well?" Mei Lin grinned, of course he would be coming, he also had magic in him even if it was only slight, and he was the only family Sakura had left. Nodding her head in approval she was met with a fierce hug Before Sakura ran out of the clearing with a quick good bye.

Mei Lin smiled, 'she is going to knock my cousin off his high horse and bring him back to earth' she thought an evil glint in her eyes. 'That will show him that he is not the best there is' laughing to herself she went to arrange plane tickets for three, she would be returning to finish her studies at Zaiozu Martial Arts School and she also wanted to watch what happened between Sakura and Xiou Lang. 'and if he hurts her in any way ill kill him' she thought angrily before turning to go back to her apartment.

~*~*~*~*~

Sakura ran through the trees until she came to a modestly large house and ran inside, she collided with something large and hard and fell to the ground. Looking up Sakura huffed

"Touya, what are you doing?" She asked as her brother frowned down at her.

"I was going to go for a walk." He said pulling her to her feet. "What were you in such a hurry for anyway?" he asked and before he could do anything Sakura was telling him quite fast about Hong Kong and the Martial Arts School that was there and that they were invited to attend it. Touya frowned deeper.

"We don't have that much money Sakura, I mean a new school for both of us, a house and flight tickets, it's going to be a bit expensive." He said and as he watched her face fall he sighed. "Fine, we'll sell the house and we'll go, happy?" He asked exasperated. Sakura squealed and lunged at Touya and hugged him tightly, he smiled and hugged her back.

"So when are we going?" he asked while pulling himself away from Sakura.

"Mm I don't know, ill go and ring up Mei Lin, she should know." Touya smirked.

"So it was that Chinese kid that got you up to this ehh?" he asked and smiled when Sakura punched him lightly.

"Yes, and she's my friend Touya, be nice to her!" she pouted slightly and Touya laughed lightly then waved his good bye and went for his walk.

Ring Ring

"Moshi Moshi?" Mei Lin asked on the other end of the phone

"Hi Mei Lin, I CAN GOOOO!!!" Sakura screamed on the phone, there was a slight choking sound and a clang then Mei Lin's voice came back on

"Excellent, now, I've booked us flights so we will be leaving in two days, that gives you time to pack, you and Touya-san will be staying with me on campus and Yelen Li will be paying for both of you to go to school, I've arranged everything." Mei Lin said absolutely excited herself. Sakura was speechless, well for a second she was.

"What do you mean all payed for? I thought I- we I mean well, arg, you should have told me that before, well are you sure it's all right? I mean I can pay for my self its not like-"

"I'm sure its fine, so ill see you in two days at the air port?" Mei Lin asked/commanded. Sakura smiled.

"Of course you will," she said and before she could say goodbye Mei Lin hung up

'She is such a strange girl' Sakura mussed and turned to head up to her room to pack 'ooh this is going to be so great' she thought running up the stairs to her room.

~*~*~*~*~*~

In another country not to far from Japan a boy with unruly brown hair stood absolutely still, amber eyes burning with emotion. He had just been talking with her mother when Mei Lin rang to tell her that two more would be coming and that she was returning with them. 'My mother seemed very excited for some reason, she had better not be planing anything and what was worse was that one of them was a girl! There were only eleven in the school, his four sisters Mei Lin, Yu Tai, Usizo, and four American girls that were related to me in some distant way, and they were all annoying as hell!' he growled 'I hate it when she does this to me, not only do I have to teach at the damn school I have to teach that new girl as well, urg can my life get any worse? Girls who can't fight on instinct should not fight at all' and with that Xiou Lang stormed out to the training room to work off some of his frustration.
