Prologue

Author's Note: None of the characters in this prologue belong to me, except Dr. Ichiro, since I made him up. Clamp owns all the other characters. ^_^
BTW, please R&R, since this is my first fanfic. If I get enough response, I'll continue to keep writing (I'm already working on Chapter 1). Please R&R!
Yes, I know some of the ideas in this story have been written before, but this fanfic is my idea.
Synopsis: Read and find out! :P Oh, yeah, and Sakura and crew are 18 and seniors in Tomoeda High School, and this story takes place with Syaoran having confessed, returned to Hong Kong, and back again. Why has their relationship not grown? You'll find out...^_^

The 18-year-old girl sat patiently in the waiting room. Her long auburn hair was swept back into a high ponytail, tied back with a piece of emerald green ribbon, exactly matching her twinkling eyes. She waited anxiously for her name to be called.
"Kinomoto Sakura?" The nurse asked.
"Hai!" answered the teenager as she leapt up from her seat.
"Come with me," replied the nurse, as she led the way into a side door. "Dr. Ichiro is ready to see you now."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Sakura, what brings you here?" asked Dr. Ichiro. "I haven't seen you since your physical a couple of months ago for your cheerleading tryouts. From what I hear, aren't you the captain of the team?"
"Hai." Sakura replied modestly.
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, you see, I have been having trouble during practice lately. It began about a month ago, and I have never had this problem before. I would never become tired after only half-an-hour of practice, but now, I am so winded after 30 minutes that I keep having to take breaks. It's really beginning to interfere with my daily life."
"Hmm, that is odd. Let's run some tests and see what we find, ok?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*A few days later*
"Why, Sakura, you're home early. Don't you have cheerleading practice? What's wrong?" asked Fujitaka, as he saw the sad look on his daughter's face.
Sakura wordlessly handed him the piece of paper in her hands.
"What's this?" He asked her, concerned.
"The report of the tests and scans I had done at the doctor's last week."
Fujitaka scanned the paper, his eyes catching onto the single line near the bottom of the report: "Diagnosis: Bronchioalveolar Carcinoma [BAC] (Lung Cancer); Stage 4; Prognosis: 6 months"
"Oh, Sakura. I'm so sorry, honey," Fujitaka cried, taking her into his arms, as Sakura sobbed disconsolately.
"Why me? Why?"
"I don't know, honey, I don't know." He held her in his arms, rocking her back and forth.
"What do I do, Otou-san?" Sakura asked after awhile. "Should I quit school now? Should I tell someone?"
"No, don't quit yet. Let's not give up hope yet. I know! We'll get a second opinion. I've heard that there's a famous cancer doctor in town this week. We'll go see him. Let's not be hasty. After all, Dr. Ichiro isn't an expert. Alright?"
"But, Otousan..." Sakura began. "What if?"
"Let's not think about it yet, okay, honey. It'll work out; don't worry." Fujitaka reassured his daughter. I can't bear to lose her now. Not so soon, not so young. She's so like her mother. No, I won't lose her!

So, what do you think? Too clichéd? Please R&R, and I promise this story will improve, I've already got it planned out. Especially for S+S fans out there!
