The first thing Sasuke saw when he opened his eyes was a white light. The light was way to bright for his onyx orbs, so he shut them immediately and allowed the light to soak through his eyelids.
'Where am I?' were his first thoughts as he lay there on what felt to be a bed. He opened his mouth but no sound came out of his dry throat. All he could make was a low croaking sound.
He licked his lips in a vain attempt to wet them, but his tongue was as dry as his lips. He wished for water with every ounce of his being but was unable to ask for it. Who was he going to ask? 'Otousan.'
His head hurt, his entire body hurt. Any attempted motion caused a wave of pain to spread throughout every ounce of his body.
"Otousan." He croaked.
"Sasuke!"
His eyebrows furrowed. It was a female voice, but not one that he recognized. Who was in his house?
"Okasan?"
"No Sasuke-kun, only me."
Who was me? He slowly opened his eyes once more. The light hurt but was not unbearable. He stared upward as his eyesight slowly adjusted to the brightness of the white room. Everything in the room was white except for his clothes. Who gave him a green dress? He looked down at his outfit in dismay. It was a hospital gown; similar to the one his mother wore when she was sick.
Hospital gown? Why was he wearing this ridiculous outfit? Was he in a hospital? The faint sound of beeping confirmed his thought. He tried to say something but his voice came out hoarse and raspy.
"Oh! Of course! Water!" the female said eagerly, much to his relief. In a few moments he felt a cool glass being held to his lips. He swallowed eagerly, enjoying every moment of it.
His eyes rested on the slender hand which held the glass. His gaze traveled up a smooth arm to a white nurse outfit. Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he caught sight of a pink curl hanging over a set of small shoulders. 'Pink?'
His eyes met with bright emerald orbs, filled with anticipation. The female was very beautiful, with long pink hair wrapped up into a sloppy bun. A few curls hung loose giving her a sweet look. She smiled shyly down at the male, a hint of pink adorning her smooth cheeks.
"How are you feeling Sasuke?"
How did this older female know his name? He guessed her age to be around sixteen or seventeen years. Why she worked in the hospital he would never know. He continued to stare up at her in confusion.
She cleared her throat nervously "They said you took a pretty hard blow to the head. You should have worn a helmet!" she stuck her tongue out playfully.
His eyes lowered to her nametag which read 'Sakura'. A very pretty name, but somehow that didn't fit. He stared at it in confusion.
Sakura followed his gaze and gave a small smile "Can I get you anything?"
"Where…" he was surprised by the sound of his own voice. It sounded so unfamiliar. "Where is otousan?"
Sakura's emerald eyes lowered sadly. She nibbled her lower lip as she searched for the right answer.
Why was this female stalling? He watched as she squirmed. Why couldn't she just tell him where his father was? He already knew that his mother wasn't feeling good…
"You…" she paused "You need some rest. That was a pretty hard blow. Things will come back to you soon enough."
"Things?" his voice was harsh "What things? Where is my family? Where's Itachi-nii-san, Otousan? Okasan?" his dark eyes grew wide in panic as he attempted to sit up, a dizzying pain caused him to fall back on his pillow.
Sakura gave a slow sigh "Sasuke… they're dead."
The words struck him like a hammer. It took a few minutes of breathing for him to be able to speak again. His voice came out shocked "What?"
"Itachi is still alive… he left the family a long time ago to pursue his own career. Your parents died."
"How?"
She sighed; she didn't want to put him through this. Especially after suffering from such a horrible accident, such shock couldn't be good for him. She stared at him worriedly, her hands balled into fists.
"Sasuke… you'll hear more later I'm sure. Right now just relax."
Sasuke shook his head, refusing to be silenced. "No! Why don't I remember any of this?"
Good question. Sakura shook her head silently, unable to find a good answer. The doctor's said that anything could happen after receiving such a blow to the head. "Sasuke-kun… you might be suffering from a small bout of amnesia. Just rest, I'm sure it'll go away soon and you'll remember everything."
He gave her a hard stare which she returned for a few moments. Sakura finally broke it off by turning her head to the side.
The young Uchiha noticed her hair. "… Bubblegum."
Her eyes grew wide in shock. "Wh-what did you just say?" she stammered, too surprised to say anything else.
He raised an eyebrow at her strange behavior. "Bubblegum. Wasn't that your name?"
Fresh tears sprung to her eyes as she shook her head. Her breathing quickened as she held a hand to her mouth to prevent any sounds. She could do nothing else but shake tears away as she stared down at him.
Sasuke stared at the female "What?"
"N-nothing!" she quickly fled from the room, leaving a confused Sasuke behind.

It was almost an hour later when Sakura returned, followed by a line of doctors. He glared up the males who surrounded the young girl. Who were they?
"Hello Sasuke, how are you feeling?" an older man asked from behind his clipboard.
He continued glaring "My head hurts and I don't even remember my parent's death… how do you think I'm feeling?"
The man waved offhandedly. "I see, tell me what do you not remember?"
"If I knew I-" he cut off before he ended up strangling the man. What kind of dumb question was that? How was he supposed to list what he didn't remember? This guy had a degree in what subject again? He glared angrily up at the doctor until he understood.
"Oh! My apologies… it's been a long night."
"Tch. Whatever."
Sakura giggled. She quickly caught herself as the doctors turned to stare at her. Did she just giggle aloud? She cleared her throat in an attempt to regain her dignity. The doctors mumbled something to themselves.
Staring curiously at the pink-haired girl, the Uchiha gave a shrug. "So are you gonna help me out or ask more dumb questions?"
The man who asked the question looked indignant as he narrowed his eyes at the rude patient. This was the last time he'd take any special cases. "Ah yes, well we'll just keep you under observation before calling your parents or guardian…"
"He has none."
All eyes in the room focused on the pink-haired girl who suddenly piped up. Her cheeks turned red as she fidgeted under their gaze.
"I don't?" Sasuke asked incredulously.
She shook her head. "N-no… you live independently under the watchful care of Hatake Kakashi your Godfather, he isn't your guardian though. You wouldn't give him legal guardianship."
The doctors all raised their eyebrows in disbelief. The young Uchiha stared at the female. "How do you know all this?"
Before she could say anything another nurse ran up to her. "Sakura, you're needed downstairs!"
"Alright!" she said a little too quickly before disappearing.
Sasuke stared at her retreating form until she disappeared from view. How did she know this? He glanced back up at the doctor's who began peppering him with more useless questions, most of which he replied with a simple 'I don't know'.
All during the interrogation, he couldn't keep his mind off Sakura. Who was she?
He leaned back against his pillow and closed his eyes. He would have to ask her later.

Another day had gone by. A day of doctor's stupid questions along with his own questions swirling through his mind. In the end the doctors had proven useful, he realized that he didn't remember anything from the past six years.
He pondered over the pink-haired girl's knowledge of his past as he lazily pressed the buttons on the remote. 'Twenty six channels and nothing to watch.' He thought tiredly. It was true; every station was kiddy shows, soap operas, or news. He finally stopped at an old game show and watched as people began answering questions for the chance to win money.
"Stupid."
It really was to him. After all, he was the son of Uchiha Fugaku, one of the richest men in the country. Money meant nothing to him. He practically slept in a bed made of money, for Kami's sake.
Boredom gave him the freedom to contemplate his current situation. He didn't remember anything from the past six years, snapped his writs, bruised and scraped almost every inch of his body, hit his head really hard, and was generally in a world of hurt. However, on the plus side the hospital served excellent steak.
Sasuke clutched his forehead as another wave of pain took over. It was almost like clockwork. Every hour he would get an enormous headache leaving the rest of his body almost immobile from pain. He wished that the pain would end.
The door to his room swung open as a cheery looking Sakura sprung into the room. Sasuke could practically hear cheesy music as the girl gave a bright smile. The whole room seemed to glow from her radiant aura.
"Good afternoon Sasuke-kun!" she chirped, "How are you feeling?"
"Awful."
She leaned over to fluff his pillows. Pursing her lips she looked down at his sympathetically "Aw… well don't worry, this medicine should help your headaches."
He accepted the two circular pills with a grunt. Who needed medicine? It didn't help his headache or confusion. After downing the circular objects he contented himself in watching the girl write down some notes as she leaned against the edge of the bed, her eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
"You…"
She looked up suddenly "Hm?"
"How…" he began, unsure of how to finish "How do you know so much about me?"
A rueful smile came across her pink lips. She shook her head slowly. "I don't know how to answer." She said truthfully as she laid the board down by his feet "I just know you… that's all."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow. What kind of answer was that? He continued to stare at the girl for any signs of deception but received none. "Are you… are you my girlfriend?"
The question earned a gasp from the girl. Her eyes wavered slightly before she regained her composure with a cough. Her eyes gazed off into the distance as a wistful smile found it's way to her face.
He cleared his throat, instantly earning her attention as he sat up straight to look her in the eye. His black hair was messy, his eyes tired. At that moment Sakura couldn't help but notice how attractive he was. She shook her head once more.
"No… I'm not your girlfriend…."
He folded his arms slowly after propping himself up "What was that smile for?"
She smiled once more "Nothing. I was just wondering… that's all…."
Sasuke didn't understand why she wasn't his girlfriend. She was pretty, and obviously knew a lot about him. So if she wasn't close to him in that kind of way, how did she…?
"If you're not my girlfriend…" he left the question hanging. She nodded, instantly catching on to his hidden meaning.
"Like I said…" she rose up to open the door "I'm not your girlfriend." A figure practically launched itself into the room and attached itself to his neck. "Ino is."
