Memories Lost and Intertwined
Summary: Who am I? What am I? I have no memories, but only a name. Yet despite my burden, they make me smile. I feel welcomed but the sensation seems distant; unknown to me. But this man and his his crimson eyes that are so much like my own... They hold all of the answers... ItachiXOC

A frustrated looking blonde haired Hokage, more commonly known as Tsunade, was sitting at her desk with her head propped upon her hand. Her other hand holding papers from the latest new from other countries and villages. The look that rested itself upon her face would make even Kakashi run for his dear life.
A deep and aggravated sigh made its way from her mouth. Tsunade had been up all night long looking at these papers and getting new ones in as well. This is one of the reasons why she had never wanted to be Hokage. But, seeing as how Orochimaru was currently under the status of 'evil', and Jiraiya was too busy with writing, and looking for new ideas for, his precious book series: Come Come Paradise. So naturally, that left only her. Which was okay, she was running low on money, and sake. Her assistant Shizune and her pig, Tonton, came along as well.
Speaking of Shizune, she walked in the room, holding more papers for the already aggravated Hokage.
"How many more of these am I expected to get by the end of the day?" Tsunade asked tiredly, looking up at her assistant while she handed her more papers. Shizune shrugged her shoulders indicating she didn't know, then took her leave. Tsunade put the other papers down as she picked her head up from her hand and read the paper that Shizune brought in.
i 'What a wonderful day, another village attacked by the Akatsuki.' /i her thoughts dripped with sarcasm (I'm so sorry if Tsunade was a little bit OOC, I've never seen or read anything with her in it).

"I swear, one of these days his habit of being late is going to bite him in the ass," Sakura spoke, putting her arms on the bridge's railing as she waited with her fellow teammates for their usually late sensei. Naruto was sitting down, legs crossed Indian style. His right leg kept moving up and down. Sasuke was just leaning up against the bridge railing, arms crossed over his well sculpted chest, and his eyes closed. Naruto then got up off the ground, and walked over to the railing where his other two teammates stood. He desperately needed something to do.
"When Kakashi-sensei gets here I'll make sure it kicks him in the ass. Believe it!" he suddenly bursted out, pumping his fist into the air. Sakura sweatdropped at her teammates sudden enthusiasm. Sasuke just ignored him, as usual. A deep sigh escaped through the blonde's lips as he continued to look out onto the river.
"Hey, what's that?" Naruto asked after a minute of silence, seeing a flash of a color similar to light purple go by. Sakura then turned her attention and began to search the river with her eyes and saw nothing.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing there," Sakura stated, looking over to Naruto. Sasuke too stopped with his usual stance and began to look as well.
"She's right, dobe. There's nothing there," he agreed with her. Sakura blushed lightly. Yes, she still has that insane infatuation with Sasuke.
"I know I saw something there, and don't call me dobe, Sasuke-teme!" Naruto protested.
"Are you sure it wasn't just a fish?" Sasuke asked cooly, folding his arms back over his chest.
"Do you think fish are purple?" Naruto asked Sasuke, who, again, unfolded his arms and looked out at the river.
"Are you sure is wasn't just a patch of flowers?"
"I'm positive, teme," Naruto said, looking out more into the river, getting slightly agitated. Had his vision fooled him into seeing something that looked like the head of a womanly figure? All he did see was a patch of light purple that looked an awful lot like someone's hair. Furrowing his eyebrows, he looked around the area, and soon saw the patch or color again. Not bothering to tell his teammates that he saw it again, he jumped off the bridge to go and see what it was. He soon noticed that Sasuke followed.
"Naruto, Sasuke, where are you going?" Sakura yelled out to them, and they both ignored her. Naruto wondered if he had seen it too. As they both approached the light purple thing floating in the water, it became more evident that it was someone. Sasuke then jumped ahead of Naruto and rushed to the river to get the person before they were swept away with the current. Sasuke grabbed the arm and pulled her out of the river. Yes, it was a girl about their age. She had light purple colored hair that was all matted, and her face was caked with dirt and grime. A small line of dried blood was on the left corner of her mouth. Upon closer examination, they saw that her clothes had rips and tears everywhere, and she had two kunais in her left leg, and three in her back.
Sakura came down and began to search for a pulse, and found a soft one after a minute or so.
"She's still alive. You'd better take her to the hospital before she... just take her to the hospital. I'll stay here and tell Kakashi-sensei," she ordered them. Both boys nodded, and Sasuke picked up the girl and they both took off to Konoha hospital.
"Yo, sorry I'm late. I wa--where are Sasuke and Naruto?" Kakashi poofed in a little while later. Sakura turned around to face her late silver haired sensei and explained everything to him. He nodded and then suggested going to see them and see if everything is okay.

"Well, these kunai are too close for comfort to some of her major nerves in her legs and back. From what it looks like to me, whoever was after her had no intention of hurting her in the first place," Tsunade carefully examined the figure, her brows furrowed mere seconds later.
"What's wrong, Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked her softly. Tsunade shook her head a minute later, signaling that it was nothing important.
"She just needs some time to heal and recuperate, that's all," Tsunade sounded like she was trying to convince herself more than the four that stood before her. She then shooed them away and began to heal the girl's wounds more thoroughly.
--One Week Later --
I don't know what happened. All I know is that I was unconscious for a while and woke up in a hospital. I was told that some people found me in their local river and I had been severely wounded. I woke up about two days ago, when I couldn't remember what had happened before I had woken up, later I was diagnosed with amnesia. Yesterday, I remembered one thing: Wasureru Kioku. Assuming that was my name, that's what everyone calls me. Not to mention I've met the people who had found me by the river (rather the team). Sakura is pretty fun to be around, except when she's either talking about Sasuke or bickering with Ino... about Sasuke. I find Sasuke rather annoying (although according to Sakura, that's supposed to be Naruto's job), although I can understand why he is that way (even with just a small idea of what happened in his past). I admire Naruto's enthusiasm, and I find him really fun to hang out with. Even if he causes mischief. I met Ino when she had heard that Sasuke was at the hospital, and she came there looking for him. I can't pin an opinion of what I think about her, because all she talks about is Sasuke. Which can be extremely annoying.
"Kioku-san, have you thought about what you're going to do when you leave the hospital?" Sakura asked me, after she had finally stopped talking about Sasuke. I turned to look at her while leaning back onto the hospital bed.
"To be honest, I'm afraid I haven't," I spoke to her as I began to think about what I would do. I don't want to mooch off of anyone, so I could get a job and then rent an apartment. That wouldn't work, it would take a while and then I would probably have to mooch off someone still. Decisions, decisions...
"Well, you're in luck. I talked to my okaa-san last night about your condition, and she agreed that you could stay with us for as long as you like." she told me, and I shook my head. She then tilted hers in confusion.
"I don't want to be a burden to your home," she laughed lightly.
"Don't worry about it, both my parents agree that it's fine with them." she tried to convince me to agree to come and stay with her. As tempting as the offer was, I couldn't accept it.
--
"So, what do you want to do?" Sakura asked me after I had been released from the hospital and convinced to stay at her house. How she had managed to convince me, I'll never know. I merely shrugged my shoulder, and lifted my arms up a little bit to add effect.
"Hey, what's that?" she then asked, pointing to my arm. I looked there to see four rivets on my arm. They were on the underside of it and they were close to the bend of my elbow. I stared at them in confusion, are these scars of some sort?
"They could be scars of some sort," I suggested, not really knowing what to say.
"Perhaps we should go ask Tsunade-sama about this?" she suggested. I shook my head and told her that I don't want to bother her anymore with my presence.

The said Hokage was sitting at her desk with her hands folded and her forehead resting against them in a frustrated manner. Papers lay scattered on her desk, and some were even on the floor next to her. A very frustrated sigh left her mouth, this was certainly a big matter. Shizune then walked in, followed by Tonton, and gave Tsunade the papers that she had requested.
"Tsunade-senpai, what's wrong?" she asked her sensei.
"Just call for the Hatake, I'd like to have a talk with him," Shizune gave a questioning glance at the blonde haired Hokage, but walked out of the room to summon him nonetheless.
He soon came in to speak with her soon afterwards.
"I did some research on Wasureru Kioku, and I've found nothing. But I did notice something on her arm when I was taking care of her. She has four rivets on her arm right below her elbow. I also researched that, it's the sign of one who has the Kekkai Genkai: Kouyou Metsuki." she then passed him some of the papers that she had sprawled out on her desk.
"From the rivets on her arm, I noticed that she is at stage four out of six. Which is pretty good for someone her age. This also signifies she has had training before in the past. I want you to train her," Kakashi looked through the papers, just skimming over some things about the bloodline and what clan it came from.
After a minute or so, he nodded accepting his new student. He then proceeded to hand her back the papers, but she just made a hand gesture not to. Tsunade then told him to keep them, they might come in handy.

Sakura and I were sitting at the dinner table eating with her parents. Her mother makes wonderful ordango. The doorbell rang in the middle of dinner, and Sakura's mother answered it. She then came back and said that it was Kakashi saying that he had requested that I come to training tomorrow. I nodded and smiled on the outside, inside I was really aggravated. I couldn't remember a thing about my past except Wasureru Kioku, and for all I know that could be my mother's name! This only made me want to scream, I can't stand it. I might as well live a false life now.
Sakura called my name, bringing me back to reality.
"What's wrong?" she asked, sounding kind of caring. I sighed deeply before telling her, and her parents, how aggravating it is to not remember anything. Sakura merely gave me an apologetic smile, and then we all ate in silence.
After dinner Sakura and I went upstairs just to talk, she tried to squeeze in something about Sasuke every so often, but I redirected her attention to other more important matters.
After a few hours of talking about random things (and me avoiding the topic of Sasuke) we went to sleep and waited for tomorrow to come.

Well, it's pretty crappy for the first chapter and it's also the first one I've ever really written but it's been on slow updating. Since I wrote it in first person I decided to post it here.
Review if you wish, just know that this story is on slow updating.
