Cherry: Well, here's one of the stories what was on my "Works In Progress" list. I don't know how often I'll be updating this story. It may be soon or it may be a long way off as I'm still working on my FBI story. But please, feel free to read and review this one too! I thank you for your time. Reviews are greatly appriciated!

Summary: It's boarding school time, and some of the students are in for a surprise. When rich boy Syaoran teases the lower class Sakura about her family, he comes upon the realization that he actually loves her, but it takes something truly horrible to make him realize it.

You'll Never Know How Much You've Got Until You Lose It.

Revalations/Prologue

My target was sitting alone in the corner; at least that's what my source told me. So I made my way through all of the other students to the corner, the corner where she sat. I laughed to myself as I saw her staring out the window. I don't believe she even realized I was coming. How many times did I catch her off guard? …just about every time.

She must have been out of it, way out of it, because I stood behind her for a good three minutes. She just sat there, staring out the window.

"How's your family?" I asked abruptly.

She turned to me slowly, which was something new. Usually she spat out an angry retort of some kind. But her face was pale and grief stricken and her eyes were laced with pain. Why did it hurt today? I asked her the same thing almost everyday, and yet, it never hurt me before.

I could tell that I finally broke her spirit, because she ran out of the room, her eyes clouded over and cheeks wet.

I stared at the door well after she had disappeared. I need to know why it hurt today.

Two days passed by and no one saw or heard from her. That was, until the headmistress came to our classroom.

"I regret to inform you that your classmate, Miss Kinomoto, will not be attending class for some time," she explained.

"Why?" I asked before I realized that the one-worded question had slipped my thoughts.

Everyone turned to look at me and I caught a glare from both Meling and Tomoyo.

The headmistress looked directly into my eyes. "Her entire family was killed in a plane crash two mornings ago on their way to visit her. Its news has left Miss Kinomoto with a terrible shock that has caused her to fall ill."

I only needed to hear the beginning of her speech before I felt my heart shatter into a million tiny threads. Why was I feeling like this?

"I do encourage all of you to visit her in the hospital wing, and I do hope that you all send her cards and maybe some gifts when you return to your families for winter dismissal. She will not be leaving any more."

That's how it all started; those three days changed my life forever. Has anyone ever told you the one you choose to criticize will be the love of you life? Well, I have a bit to add to that, you'll never know what you've got, until you lose it. Maybe I should start at the beginning of my tale, the days when it all started.
