Author's Notes: Ok, I'm starting TOTALLY over LoL. When I was reloading this chapter, I realized how messed up the format of the whole fic was! I feel stupid…The same chapter was posted twice! Any ways, read and I hope you like it.

"Ja ne, Tomoyo!" Sakura called to her best friend as she walked towards her moped. Graduating out of junior high and into high school had also upgraded Sakura's roller-skates into a moped. She had also (again, I know, VERY HARD!!) forgotten about all of her card-capturing days. Syaoran and moved back to Hong Kong and never returned. Tomoyo's many tapes had mysteriously disappeared without a trace. The only two reminders left, were Kero and Sakura's necklace. But, like everything else, Kero-Chan had left too. He went back to England with Eriol and Suppi-Chan. The pendant Sakura used to wear daily was no at the bottom of the never-ending mess called her room. It was as if everyone was suffering from magic-amnesia.

Sakura raced through tiny Tomoedo and ended up at the hospital. Seeing the building, Sakura shivered and suddenly became gloomy. Mixed with fear and dread, Sakura trudged through the long white halls, showing her pass to a nurse, then continuing on to a small room. The normally yellowish-white room was now decorated with an assortment of many colorful flowers. The patient, that was currently sleeping, had many admirers.

"Otou-san?" Sakura whispered. Realizing he was sound asleep, she took out her father's most recent health report. Sakura read to herself, 'Cancer cells spreading throughout the body. Tumor getting bigger. No response to any of the treatments.' Tears started falling freely from her face. 'He's not going to survive,' Sakura realized for the millionth time that day. A doctor walked in, than saw Sakura, crying by her father.

"So, you read the report? I'm very sorry, and I know how you feel. I lost my daughter to cancer, too. But, I hope you will eventually move on. "

"H-h-how long does he have t-to live?" Sakura managed to choke out.

"It's hard to tell, with cancer especially. I know it seems sudden, but probably two weeks, three at most. Have you talked to your brother yet?" the doctor questioned.

"Yes, I've been sending him copies of the health reports. They weren't getting better, so Touya must have realized that he would, um, leave sooner or later." She just couldn't get the word die out. Sakura looked at her sleeping father. Did he know he was going to die? "I need to get home. Thank you doctor."

"Of course, Sakura. You are coping very well, especially for being by yourself, with Touya studying in America and everything. Good day." With that, the doctor left. Straitening the many flowers, Sakura got ready to leave, making sure she had a copy of the health report.

'I better go get some food, before going home,' Sakura thought to herself, referring to the small apartment that she had moved into after her father had moved into intensive care. Leaving the building, Sakura jumped on her moped and headed for a small convenience store. She quickly grabbed some food, then was about to go pay, but ran into someone instead.

"Oh, gomen-nasai, sir. I'm just in such a rush," Sakura apologized.

"It's alright," the young man said, turning around. "S-Sakura? Kinomoto Sakura? Is it really you?"

Author's Notes: SHORT! Please review!! I'll take flames too, LoL. I think I have a bunch of spelling mistakes, but again, I haven't written in a long time so everything in my head is gone…so ya! Please review, and Chapter One, New Memories, will be out soon, probably in like an hour. ~Destiny.Chan
