Memories Once Forgotten

Disclaimer: If I actually owned Naruto, would I be writing fan fiction. Lol. The song is Once Upon a December. I couldn't find who sings it. Sorry.But it's not me, just so we're clear on that.

A/N -------I've been writing a lot of song fics lately. Lol. Enjoy.

Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Childish giggles were heard throughout the house, as the children played with their new toys. Sasuke and his cousin were so excited that they were putting on a show for his mother. When they were done, his mother picked them up, and cuddled the two of them close as she softly sang to them, to get them ready for there nap. Sasuke fell asleep on his pallet, thinking of how lucky he was to be able to have his cousin come over and spend time together whenever they wanted to.

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Sasuke laid cuddled in his mother arms, under the thick blankets that were piled on them in the sled. They were on their way to a party hosted by his aunt, and Sasuke was looking forward to seeing his cousin again. She had been telling him about it for weeks now, although her girlish enthusiasm didn't quite reach the small boy. Once there, Sasuke and his cousin sat in a corner munching on cookies, watching as the grown ups danced and conversed around them. Then, when the cookies were all gone, she grabbed him by the hand, and giggling led him out of the corner to go dance with her.

Far away
Long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

Sasuke had so many precious memories locked away in his heart, but over the years they had slowly begun to fade. Everything was going just like his brother had planned, instead of living his life and trying to by happy, and begun to merely exist, and to put away memories of the past.

Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

Sakura snuggled in closer to Sasuke under the blanket. The snow was softly falling around them, blanketing the world in white. The only sounds that seemed to disturb the peaceful night were the snorts of the two horses pulling the sleigh, and the bells on their harnesses. Sasuke grinned inwardly, he knew it would be a good idea to take Sakura on a sleigh ride.

Far away long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

Being back in a sleigh again, made Sasuke think of what had happened years ago. He had once been so innocent as a child, and used to love things such as this. Over the years, he seemed to have forgotten that, because the thought of his lost family was just to much to bear. Sasuke glanced down at Sakura, who was curled around his right arm. Thanks to her, it no longer hurt to remember the past. He may have lost the family that he used to have, but soon he would have a new one. All thanks to the beautiful young woman besides him.
