Driven by the unwillingness to lose, Sasuke pushed through the pain. "I have won you don't have a chance" a strange looking ninja said. Sasuke refused to give in. Sasuke saw it coming almost as if it was in slow motion. The kunai flew at him. So aware of its coming, yet so unable to move. It hit him square in the forehead. Feeling woozy, Sasuke passed out. Unaware of his surroundings, hours passed, and he couldn't move. he went in and out of consciousness, and at points he thought he had died. "Over here," he heard. he don't know how many people came to his aid, but he certain that there was at least two. The next time he was conscious, he realized that he was in a hospital bed. he realized that he was alive. They told Sasuke that they got the kunai out of his head. "How deep was it in there?" he asked. "Deep enough to pierce your brain." One responded. "Am I gonna be ok?" He asked. "We don't know"
The next time he was conscious, he realized that there were more people there than just the medics. "How are ya?" he heard a voice say. He knew that it was naruto speaking. "So, is this the logs doing?" He added with a smile. Then a high pitched voice broke the silence. "Heyyyyyyyyy, Sasuke." He looked at the pink haired girl, and could not figure out who she was. "I'm so glad you're ok" she added. "What's wrong?" She asked with a confused look on her face. "Who are you?" Sasuke finally said. "Sasuke, it's me, Sakura." She said. "Who's Sakura?" He asked. It took her a long time to figure out what had happened. Naruto looked on in confusion (as always.) "What's going on?" He asked. "Sasuke doesn't remember who I am." Sakura noted. Naruto still didn't get it. "Sasuke, you're joking right, you should remember sakura, she's loved you for years, and I really think you love her too."
"It must be because of the kunai that hit me in the head." Sasuke interrupted. "So, how do we fix this?" Naruto said as everyone else thought it. "I don't know." Sakura said. Hinata walked in the room, and immediately naruto's attention was drawn away from sasuke and to hinata. "Hi naruto." She said shyly. "How is sasuke doing?" She added. "Well, he forgot who sakura was, but other than that he's doing exceptionally well for someone who got hit in the brain with a kunai less than a day ago." Naruto said sarcastically. "Hi hinata." Sasuke said. "Well that's strange, he remembers me but I've only seen him a handful of times, and he can't remember Sakura who was on team 7 with him."
"Yes, Hinata, that is what I would like call stating the obvious." "Well, at least other ninjas can't see me coming from a mile away: Mr. bright orange jumpsuit." Hinata returned. "What does that have to do with anything?" Naruto asked. "Sorry, you didn't have to act like a jerk though when I said that." "Yeah, you're right, Hinata, I'm sorry." Naruto apologized. "If you two are done having a moment, we have a serious problem here!" Sakura interrupted. Hinata was upset because she knew that naruto was about to kiss her and then sakura had to go and ruin it like that. "I wonder what else sasuke can't remember."
"Hey, guys, wait a minute, what do you mean by 'was on team 7'." Sasuke said after thinking for a long time. "Um, you left team 7 six years ago, joined orochimaru, killed him, killed Itachi, joined the akatsuki, left them, and then came back to the village hidden in the leaves." Naruto stated. Sasuke stared in disbelief. He sat there without a word to say, he stood up and started pacing around the room as he thought. Sakura thought to herself "Yay, he is still wearing the hospital gown with the crack down the backside."
"Sakura, what perverse thing are you thinking about now?" "Um……….. Nothing, giggle." After a couple of minutes everyone left so sasuke could think to himself.
Sasuke thought for a long time about what naruto and hinata had said. But above all he couldn't stop thinking about the pink-haired girl that claimed she knew him. Somehow he knew inside that he knew her. He just couldn't remember how, or even where he could remember her from or what kind of friends that they were with each other. He still couldn't remember why he left the hidden leaf or even where he went before he finally decided that it was time to come back. He was determined to figure out who this "sakura" girl was, and why he left the hidden leaf village.
