I don't own Naruto or the character... I just love writing with them!
Review and I'll post the next chapter! :D
My head hurt. I felt like someone hit me with a sledgehammer… Where am I? What happened? What's going on? These are a few questions of several going through my mind. Why couldn't I remember anything? My eyelids were illuminated by the bright light likely to be right above me. My body twitched but moving wasn't an option. I could feel the wires hooked up to me.
I opened my eyes after a few minutes of just thinking. It was really bright… Too bright… I had to open and close my eyes several times before fully opening my eyes. It was still too bright!
"Sakura!" A voice called out to me.
Sakura? That's my name, I guess. Huh, cherry blossom. I touched my hair which was literally the color of cherry blossoms, of course my name is Sakura.
"Huh?" I moaned trying to form words. My mind was working at a thousand miles per second but nothing else was functioning…
A blonde woman who seemed to be middle-aged or so was staring down at me. I didn't like it… Her face was less than a foot away from my own. She was too close for comfort, that's for sure.
"Sakura, it's me, Tsunade." The woman informed me.
I looked around the room to see a blonde boy with blue eye and whiskers on his cheeks. He had a goofy grin on his face. A pale-eyed girl with blue hair stood close beside him. Several others were there too. I didn't know any of them at all.
"Who are you people?" I asked mumbling, "What am I doing here? What's- going on?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Baa-chan! She doesn't remember us!" The loud blonde yelled.
I flinched and he jumped back, covering his mouth. I clenched my eyes shut and held my head in my hands for a little while. Couldn't they give me something for this pain in my head?
"Saku-chan, I'm so sorry!" He kept his voice down for me thankfully. I did not acknowledge his apology.
"You have amnesia, Sakura…" Tsunade's voice was low and calm, almost soothing. It just wasn't enough to make it go away.
Amnesia? Of course… I couldn't remember people and events but I could remember other things like text book facts.
"I see… Memory loss… That explains why I don't know any of you."
I groaned and Tsunade slipped a small cup with two tiny pills in my lap. I took them without a second thought and drank the water she handed me afterwards.
Please go away soon.
Tsunade nodded, "Let me… Introduce you to your friends."
I watched her, not saying a word.
"This is Uzumaki Naruto," she pointed to the loud blonde, "This is Hyuuga Hinata," The shy blue-haired girl, "Sai," the pale black haired kid, "Tenten," she pointed to a girl with two buns, "Hyuuga Neji," long brown hair and pale eyes, "Rock Lee," an odd looking boy with a bowl haircut and green jumpsuit, "Ino," Blonde, blue eyes, purple outfit, "Shikamaru," Pineapple hair and a lazy look about him, "Choji," I heard a loud munch right after, "Kiba," Large jacket with the hood up and face paint to boot, "and Shino." Sunglasses.
I nodded, remember all of their names. "When can I leave?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow at me. She shooed out everyone else.
"Look… Sakura, there's a lot you need to be told. It wouldn't do you any good to be released from the hospital just yet."
"Then tell me. How did I get here?"
"You through yourself off a cliff and survived."
I furrowed my eyebrows. I didn't feel anything towards trying to kill myself.
"Why would I do that?"
Tsunade shut her eyes for a long time and audibly gulped.
"Sakura, your parents died in action. D.I.A."
My glance went from her to my lap. I felt nothing, no pain, no loss, nothing.
"Sakura, are you alright?"
"Of course. You say they were my parents but I felt no pain or loss when you told me they were dead…" I swung my legs over the side of the bed and shrugged, "I feel nothing for anyone who you have mentioned or spoken about. Not even the people who were in here, I have no feelings toward any of them."
Tsunade frowned, "I see. Do you feel any pain?"
"My head hurts a lot but I can get over it," I move again, "Really, I'm sure someone else could use this room. I don't need it."
Tsunade sighed at my persistence, "You're definitely still the same Sakura… Even if you don't remember squat…"
I jumped up and Tsunade handed me some clothes. She gave me some privacy to regain movement in my achingly sore joints. How long was I out for anyway?
"Since you're fine, I suggest you be at training tomorrow morning in my office at six."
"Hai… Two more questions… How long have I been out and where do I live?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, "Oh yes, you live at this address."
She handed me a paper slip.
"You've been out for about three months. Everyone thought you were going to be gone." Tsunade said obviously trying to hold back some emotion. What was I to her?
How in the world did I manage to fall off a cliff and why had the only injury been memory loss? What's wrong with me?
The streets of Konoha were crowded with villagers. Something told me I wasn't a normal civilian by the way they stared at me… The stares made me a little uncomfortable so I moved as fast as I could to my home.
My apartment was not small by any means. It was the perfect size, very comfortable and spacious. I looked around to find pictures everywhere. They were of the people I had met in my room at the hospital and a few others I hadn't met yet. There were so many… Maybe I could grow affection for them by looking over the pictures and documents. But something was missing… I could feel it. I moved down the hall and into what I presumed to be my room.
The room was a pale green color with white furniture. There was only one picture in here. It was on my nightstand. I picked it up and stared at it.
It was of me, Naruto, a silver haired man and a blue haired boy who I hadn't seen in any of the other pictures. I flipped it over to find it was labeled.
Me, Naruto, Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun
Team 7 Forever and Always 3
Sasuke-kun? Why haven't I heard his name yet? Who is he? Hm…
I put the picture down and tried not to give it another thought. For all I know, he could have been dead. The same goes for Kakashi…
