This is my second Naruto story.

I don't own Naruto. And I don't know why I keep bothering to write this. You obviously know that.

Summary: It has been almost 2 years since Naruto & Sasuke were found unconscious by a team of Konoha ANBU, not remembering anything about Konoha, Team 7, or their own names for that matter. Now, Sakura finds herself hating her so-called 'teammates' & more especially herself, not wanting to let go of the fact that she had been waiting 5 years for nothing.

Two figures charged at each other in the dark of the night. The only source of light were of the pale moon & of balls of powerful energy emitting from one of each figures' hand. Battle cries were let out & the two jutsus clashed w/ each other.

Sapphire blue met obsidian black for a brief moment before a flash of bright light shone. The two men found themselves being forced away from each other by a large explosion. One crashed through the forest, stopping momentarily while his back collided, breaking numerous trees. The other skidded every so often as he flew just inches above the rough & uneven surface of the ground, only coming to a halt by crashing onto a large boulder.

A strange feeling came over & both felt their minds go blank before they fell into the dark depths of unconsciousness.

She was smiling, but anger filled her inside! She stared at her two so-called 'teammates', who were laughing & smiling like nothing was wrong. Like everything is okay! But everything is not ok & never will be! But they don't know that! That makes her the more furious!

She will never feel true happiness! Not until her teammates come back.

Almost 2 years have passed! Yet still nothing! She clenched her fists white. She hates them! She knows she shouldn't as it was unfair, but she could not help but feel that way. They are not & never will be her teammates. They are but a mere imitation! A FAKE!

She had not waited years for these people. She had waited for Naruto & Sasuke.

Flashback

She ran as fast as she could. Her legs were ready to give up, but she wasn't. She had been away on a mission the time the news came. And at the instance she finished reading the letter, she forced her team of specially trained ANBU to quickly finish off the rogue nins they had been sent to assassinate.

Her eyes landed on a magnificent gate still quite far ahead & she sped up to her utmost limits, leaving her long ago panting team farther behind. Her whole body was exhausted & fatigue filled every inch, practically gasping for air. She reached the gate but did not stop or even slow down until she reached the entrance of a large white building.

As she entered the glass double doors, she was greeted w/ the sight of people, mostly doctors & nurses, bustling around. She strode through the crowd & many looked her way. They knew why she was here. Thanking the receptionist, she quickly left for her destination.

Every head was turned to her, but she merely ignored them. She ran up a few floors & turned a few corners before stopping in front of a white door. Nervousness & excitement filled her at the same time. At long last, they're back! Her teammates are finally back! It had been a long 5 years.

Slipping off her white & red mask, she opened the door slowly. Her eyes immediately landed on two figures, one a blonde, & the other raven haired, lying beside each other on different beds. She took a chair from the far corner & sat in-between them, smiling at their forms. She took note that they were still wrapped in bandages though it had been a few days since they were brought back.

A few minutes later, the door opened revealing none other than the Godaime Hokage & her assistant Shizune. The pink haired kunoichi stood up & bowed in respect to the two females.

"Sakura," Tsunade paused. "There is something you should know." The Godaime spoke in a sad tone. Behind her, Shizune also held a gloomy expression.

Sakura started to panic. Did something happen to her teammates? Did they lose an eye, or had they a fatal injury? They looked fine, but she should have checked on them first!

Seeing her student panic, Tsunade placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Sakura, calm down for a sec." Seeing her calm, the Hokage decided to be straight to the point.

"The two… Naruto & Sasuke… they… have lost their memories." In the background, Shizume looked up to see the pink haired girl's reaction. Sakura just stood there.

"C-can you repeat that, Tsunade-sama?" she whispered shakily. Tsunade looked away sadly. "They have amnesia, Sakura. When they were found they were already like that. They didn't have a single memory of what happened before they were unconscious. They… they won't know you. They don't even remember their own name." Everyone stood unmoving & the air was filled w/ uneasy silence.

"No." She whispered. She clenched her fists. "That is not true." She dropped to her knees & gasped out breaths. Tsunade ushered Shizune out & herself out, leaving the disoriented kunoichi.

Long, waist length pink hair curtained her face, reaching the spotless white floor she was facing. Balled fists dripped w/ blood & tears trailed down silently from wide emerald eyes as she repeatedly slammed the tiled floor harder & harder. "NO!"

Outside the hospital, Tsunade stopped walking followed by Shizune as they heard the agonizing & pained scream of the pink haired girl. She gritted her teeth, slightly regretting telling her student. But it was for the best. It was better than to wait & let her find out that they don't know her.

Shizune never once looked up from the ground since they left the room. She felt pity for the girl. She knew Sakura worked hard for this day. She wanted to show her teammates that she was not a weakling & that she could keep up w/ them.

At only 17 years of age, Sakura already surpassed her. She is one of the top jounin & ANBU & is the top medic of Konoha next to Tsunade. Some say she would even surpass the Sannin. Accomplishing this much at such a young age, she believes that Sakura will surpass their master. They would only have to wait & see.

Shizune thought she was good, but seeing Sakura accomplish what she thought was so impossible before, she felt like so ordinary.

She looked up to the window of the room & regretted doing so. Sakura stared down face stained w/ tears but void of expression. Shizune was unable to turn away until she heard Tsunade's voice, telling her that it was time to leave.

Sakura watch the two females walk away & disappear from her sight. Her hand moved to cover her eyes. She abruptly turned to leave the room & headed for home. She feels tired. She went to bed as soon as she entered her apartment. At least she could still dream.

End Flashback

She stood up from her usual spot on the stool & headed for the door. She felt three, or rather, two & a half pairs of eyes turn her way. "You're leaving already, Sakura-chan?" She clenched & unclenched her fists from the way the owner of the voice said her name. "Yes, Naruto." The way she said it came out a bit cold.

She put on a smile & turned to face the three men, two of which she did not feel to speak to. "I need to prepare. I have a mission tomorrow." She answered in an overly happy voice, pretending to be excited.

"Don't you want to finish you're ramen first? You hardly ate." Said the 19-year-old Uchiha Sasuke. "I'm not very hungry." She said rather hurriedly. "O-ok." He looked slightly hurt & surprised by her unexpected change of tone.

Not a second after she turned her back to them, a frown instantly replaced her fake smile. She stepped out of the ramen shop & headed to the direction of her apartment.

Halfway there, she halted in her tracks. "What is it sensei?" Sighing, the famous Copy-nin Hatake Kakashi appeared beside a tree to her far left, an orange book in hand. "Yo!" he greeted, never once looking up from the book.

"Well?" She asked, right hand akimbo while tapping her foot impatiently. The jounin sighed for the second time in 5 minutes. A dark gray (Me: I'm not sure what color his eye is. Pls. tell me if you know.) eye looked over her in a lazy manner, placing his book down.

"You shouldn't be so angry at them. What happened is not any of theirs' fault." She turned her head away, hiding half of her face w/ her now shoulder length hair.

"Sakura." He looked sadly at his former student. "I know you feel that they left you. And I admit that they are not exactly who they used to be, but you & I both know that all we can do is wait. So just accept them now for who they are."

"The 18-year-old woman uttered no words & stood unmoving. Kakashi walked over & embraced her in a brotherly manner. "And I know you believe they will remember." They stayed that way for a few minutes before the pink haired kunoichi pulled away.

"I have to go. I have things to do." The girl stopped when she heard her sensei speak again. "Never stop believing, Sakura." He watched until the kunoichi's form disappeared as she turned a corner. He sighed ruefully for the third time & turned to leave in the opposite direction. What the hell happened to his team?
