Interlude

Nighttime in Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke walks down a quite street, hands in his pockets, a backpack on his back and his headband missing from his forehead.

As he continues to walk, Haruno Sakura comes out from behind a tree, blocking his path. She focuses on him, watching him walk toward her.

He was looking straight at her, but yet, did not seem surprised that she was there.

Scanning him, she noticed the backpack, eyes wide, mouth slightly open.

He continued to walk, stopping at the bench, about 10ft away from her. "It's the middle of the night…what are you hanging around here for?" He asked.

She looked down. "This is the only road out of the village."

He began to walk around her. "You should go to bed." He passed her, both of their eyes shielded by their hair.

Silently, a tear slipped down her cheek. "Why, Sasuke?" She asked softly. She then turned to face him, still crying. "Why won't you ever tell me anything?" Her voice cracked a little.

He continued to walk away.

"Why is it always silence with you? You've never shared a single thing wi – "

He stopped and interrupted her, voice angered. "Why should I have to tell you anything?"

She continued to cry silently, staring at his back.

"Just keep your nose out of my business." He said coldly, still not looking at her. "It's none of your concern."

She looked away from him, eyes shifting to the ground, still crying. "I know you hate me. Even in the beginning you couldn't even stand me." She turned back to him, smiling a sad smile. "Remember? Back when we made genin and we were assigned to our three-man squads? We were alone together for the first time, right here on this very spot. You got so mad at me that day.

Flashback

"Think about it. He just does whatever comes into his head." She said, looking at his back.

He narrowed his eyes.

"But if you don't have parent to tell you, how would you know? He's selfish and bratty. He's all alone." She continued.

"Alone…isolated…"

"Huh?" She looked at him.

"It's not about your parents scolding you. You have no idea what it means to be alone."

"Wh-why are you saying that?" She asked, raising her arm up across her chest.

He turned, so she could see the side of his face. "Because…" He looked at her. "You're annoying."

She gasped, eyes wide.

He walked away from her, leaving her standing there, shocked.

Flashback end

She waited in silence for a reply, looking up at him.

"I don't remember that." He replied.

Her smile turned to shock, gasping slightly, eyes wide, mouth open slightly with disbelief, on tear running down her cheek. She looked down, another tear sliding down the opposite cheek. As one hit the ground, she said, "…yeah, sure…. I mean, it was so long ago, right? But still," She said, lifting her head, looking at him. "That's the day it all began." She smiled, shutting her eyes. "It was the start of you and me." She paused. "And Naruto…and Kakashi-Sensei."

Memories flooded Sasuke's mind.

"The four of us started going on missions. It was rough back then. Every day was such a challenge. …But…more than anything, it was so much fun!" She opened her eyes, looking at him, but then she bowed her head and sighed deeply. "I know about your clan, Sasuke." She turned away from him, looking at the ground again. "I do. But seeking revenge…that won't bring anyone happiness."

The night became darker, a cloud rolling over the moon.

"Nobody at all. Not you. And not me."

"I knew it." He stated, almost smirking.

She looked at him in surprise, letting a small gasp escape from her mouth.

"I'm not the same as you. I'm traveling a path the rest of you can't follow. I know that the four of us have worked together…and for a while, I thought I could take that road instead. But in the end, I've decided on revenge. That's always been my reason for living." He said, glaring ahead of them. "I'll never be like you and Naruto."

"Don't do this Sasuke! You don't have to be alone!" Sakura shouted, hand moving up to her heart. "You told me that day how painful a thing solitude can be!" She closed her eyes. "I understand that pain now! I have a family…and friends. But," Tears slowly plopped to the ground, leaving wet stains on the path. She took a step forward. "If you were gone, Sasuke…It would be the same thing for me as being all alone!" She cried, trying to keep her composure, eyes shut tight, tears flowing down her cheeks, hands at her heart.

His eyes softened very little and the memory of the first picture they took together flashed in his mind. "This is a new beginning. Each of us has a new path lying before us."

She took another step. "Sasuke, I'm so in love with you, I can't even stand it!" She cried, eyes still wrenched shut. "If you would only be with me, I promise, I'd never let you regret it. Every day will be a joy! I could give you happiness! I'll do anything for you Sasuke! So please! I'm begging you!!! DON'T WALK AWAY!!! I'll even help get your revenge! I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, I swear!!" She yelled, letting out a couple sobs. "So stay here…with me…And if you can't…."

The path became bright again, the cloud rolling away from the moon.

"Take me with you, Sasuke." She couldn't keep her sobs silent anymore, sobbing a little louder than before.

Finally, he turned to face her, a smirk on his face. "You haven't changed…You're STILL annoying."

Her eyes became wide as she gasped.

He turned again, taking a couple steps away from her.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!!!" She cried, chasing after him, but stopped. "If you go, I'll scream and –"

He vanished from her sight as she gasped.

But, he appeared behind her silently. "Sakura…"

She stood stark still, the wind blowing her pink locks.

"Thank you for everything."

She gasped a little, heading lifting ever so slightly.

Suddenly, in the silence, a small thud sounded…and Sakura's eyes became wide, her pupils small.

"Sasuke…" She whispered, eyes closing as she fell to the ground.

Chapter 1: Amnesia

"Sakura-chan…"

She heard a voice, but did not stir.

"Sakura-chan, wake up!"

She felt pressure on her arm. "Mmmm…." She moaned softly, emerald eyes opening slightly to see a blur of bright obnoxious yellow. She blinked a few times to focus her eyes and saw a pair of deep blue eyes looking at her. "YAH!!!" She shrieked, sitting up rather fast. 'Where am I?' She sat for a second, looking down at her legs.

She had no recollection of what happened. She had no recollection of anything.

"Hey, Sakura-chan, you okay?"

She looked to her left, seeing a boy about her age. He had bright obnoxious yellow hair, deep blue eyes and three black lines on both of his cheeks. He was wearing an orange with a little bit of blue jumpsuit.

'Wow…like that doesn't say, "HIT ME"…' She thought.

"I SAID," He yelled at her. "ARE YOU OKAY, SAKURA-CHAN?"

She looked up at him, confused. "Are you…talking to me?"

He blinked in shock and looked at the boys behind him.

"Naruto," One said, walking up to him. He didn't look near as obnoxious as Naruto. He had black hair, tied up in a high ponytail, wearing khaki-like shorts and a fishnet shirt with a short olive green jacket. "Maybe you should stay here…and take her to the Hokage. If she doesn't remember her name, or you, she's probably got amnesia." He stated.

Naruto looked puzzled, crossing his arms and closing his eyes. "But, Shikamaru!" He whined. "We've gotta go find Teme!!! I can't even believe he left the village!! It was a good thing Izumo and Kotetsu saw him leaving, or else we wouldn't even be here!"

Shikamaru sighed, closing his eyes. "Just do it, Naruto."

He looked away. "FINE. BUT THEN I'M COMING WITH YOU GUYS TO FIND TEME!!! BELIEVE IT!!!"

"Fine, fine, but just go." Shikamaru stated.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sakura asked, looking between the two. "And where am I? Better yet, who am I?"

"Look, if you come with me, the Hokage can figure it out." Naruto said, looking at her.

She swung her legs over the side of the bench and stood up. "Hokage?" She asked, looking at him. "What's that?"

Shikamaru smacked his forehead, Chouji's chip fell out of his mouth, and Kiba and Naruto stared at her.

"WHAT?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Uhhhh…." Naruto shook his head, focusing back on the subject. "Nothing. Let's just go, okay?"

Sakura looked at him, taking her hands from her hips. For some odd reason, she felt no fear from him. Actually…she felt…safe…and secure. She nodded, smiling. "Okay."

He grinned back. "Let's go see Tsunade-baa-chan!!" He yelled, beginning to walk down the path back into the village, heading straight to the Hokage's office.
