Amnesia
By Flow
The heat of the fire warmed his body, he desperately looked around for something… he couldn't remember what it was. Everything was a blur. Yellow, orange and red…is this genjutsu? He thought.
"Help!" screamed a certain pink-haired kunoichi.
"Sakura-chan!", at this point everything now was black.
The sunlight pierced through the curtains and landed on Naruto's face as the sun rose from its slumber. The light was the first thing Naruto saw as he woke up. He tried to sit up but something weighed him down. He took a glance at the thing, person actually. The person was a girl with pink hair, just like in his dream. She was wearing a red top which had a white donut shape on the back. Her clothes for the lower portion of her body sported tight light brown short jeans. Who is this? Naruto thought.
Naruto carried the person off his lap and placed her down on the bed lightly. He hopped out of bed, and set his feet on the cold floor. The sudden contact with something cold, sent shivers up and down his body. He then spotted some slippers near him and decided to put them on. It fit both his feet and it was comfortable.
Naruto looked at his attire at the moment; it was just a plain white shirt and pants. As he started flapping his arms for no apparent reason the pink-haired kunoichi, started to move a bit, she finally lifted her head and saw no one on the bed and started to panic, but when she saw Naruto flapping his arms a few inches away from the bed she calmed down.
"N-Naruto, you're awake?"
"How do you know my name?" Naruto asked the kunoichi.
"What do you mean, 'How do you know my name?' I'm in your ninja team, remember?" She answered back. Who am I kidding, the doctor said he had amnesia, how is he supposed to remember me? I guess I'll have to help him.
Naruto closed his eyes and began search his brain for the kunoichi in his memory, but to no avail. He then said, "No, I don't know you; mind telling me what your name is?"
"Sakura Haruno." She replied, "And you are..?" She pretended not to know his name.
"Don't you already know my name?" Naruto inquired.
"I don't know your full name." Sakura lied.
"Fine… then it's Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto said with big, cheerful smile.
I love that smile, it warms me up to just see it. Sakura thought, she didn't know it but she started blushing.
"Eh? Why are you blushing?" Naruto said, oblivious as ever.
"Am I blushing?" Sakura said, it was a rhetorical question but Naruto answered it.
"Yeah…"
"It was a rhetorical question!" Sakura yelled.
"Sorry… I didn't think..." Naruto replied.
It was silent for five seconds. "Nah, it doesn't really matter." Sakura finally said.
After that a certain smell drifted throughout the building the two were in. It drifted from the kitchen on the bottom floor, and it rose up to the top floor, floor four. It wound through every hallway, and stairway, it crept under the space beneath the door and rose up to meet Naruto's nose. Naruto closed his eyes and sniffed the air in a peculiar way that made his nose twitch. He was under the influence of the heavenly smell. The smell was of something none other than "Ramen!", Naruto screamed as he raced out of the room and found his way to the bottom floor.
He reached the door that lead to the kitchen and noticed a sign that read, "Employees only."
"Hmph!" Naruto said, he then suddenly thought of something.
"Henge no Jutsu!" A cloud of steam appeared out of nowhere, as it cleared up Naruto emerged as an employee of the Konoha Hospital. He opened the door and almost fainted as he inhaled the smell of ramen. He looked around and saw a cupboard full of ramen; he rushed to it and took a few packs, then prepared the ramen…
When Sakura arrived downstairs, on the bottom floor, she was greeted by a bloated Naruto.
"Naruto! What did you do!" Sakura questioned.
"I just ate a few cups of ramen… Ah!" Naruto replied.
"A few?"
"Fine, fine, I had about 12 cups of ramen."
"Anyways, we need to get you back to your room. If that you're missing they might have to send ANBU members to search for you."
"Then take me back to my room then."
Back in the room Naruto was forced to lie down in bed. Due to boredom, he soon fell asleep.
When Naruto woke up a nurse holding a clipboard was in front of the door and was checking something off.
"I see you're awake, Naruto. It's noon already." The nurse said, "Now, since you have recovered we will discharge you from this hospital and you may return to your home. Of course, since you have amnesia you will have to have someone help you around until you get the hang of things or regain your lost memory. Now, Hokage-sama Tsunade Godaime has assigned Sakura Haruno to help you around. "She should be waiting at the front of the hospital, once I leave you should change and then go down to the entrance to the building, after that she will take over things." And with that the nurse left, Naruto changed gathered the things he thought were his, and luckily, he got everything that was his.
And indeed, when Naruto came out of the hospital, there was Sakura waiting for him. Naruto was now wearing his black Konoha headband on his forehead, and his orange jacket, which instead of having blue on the shoulder area it was now black; there was also a black line down the middle of his torso. And as for the pants it was completely orange.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he approached her.
"Hello Naruto-kun." Sakura said, "I'll lead you back to your house where I'll have to try and help you remember what happened in the past. I'll sometimes bring you to your friends and they'll also help you remember your past."
When they reached Naruto's house, Naruto was about to ask whose house this was, and how they were to get in. But something told him that he was going to regret asking that question, so he decided not to. As Naruto pondered about whose house this could possibly be Sakura reached into her pocket and took out a key. She stuck the key into the keyhole and turned it so that it would open the door.
Sakura walked into the house first, Naruto soon followed. Sakura then closed the door and led Naruto to the couch.
"Whose place is this, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.
"It's yours, idiot!" Sakura said before hitting his head. Naruto fell to the floor and rolled side to side in pain.
"Ow… ow… Sak-Sakura-chan went too far!" Naruto whined. As Naruto whined and thrashed about, Sakura made her way to the kitchen to cook lunch for the both of them.
"I wonder what he has in these cupboards." Sakura said to herself, as she neared the counter. She opened them up and much to her surprise all there was in the cupboards was, "Ramen!" Sakura yelled, "That's all you have in your cupboard! Ramen!"
She calmed down after a while and noticed that Naruto was still on the floor complaining about the pain she inflicted on his head.
"Naruto get a hold on yourself, you're already 17 and you still whine like Konahamaru does!" Sakura said this but Naruto was still whining like a child. "Naruto! I'm going to make ramen for the both of us so just be quiet!" Sakura shouted. At that moment everything went silent, and then it was Naruto who broke the silence.
"Ramen? You're going to make ramen? Great!" Naruto was so happy and ran to Sakura to give her one big, bear hug. Sakura was barely able to breathe while in Naruto's bear hug.
"N-Naruto, I-I can't breathe…" Sakura managed to get those words out.
"Oh, right, sorry about that." Naruto finally released Sakura from his bear hug and she fell to the ground on her knees. She clutched her neck breathing in the air she thought she would never breathe again.
"The ramen is ready Naruto." Sakura said.
"Finally, those three minutes we have to wait after putting in the water is like an eternity for me!" Naruto exclaimed. He picked up his chopsticks which were neatly put on the table and neared the bowl…
This is my first fanfic here on TONFA, so I hoped you liked it. I don't expect to be getting any reviews at all, but if I do that would be great.
