Lost Memories…

By: Samantha Munday

I started to walk down the long bumpy path to the new teashop in the Land of Tea. Apparently it is supposed to the best tea ever made.

'Hey Naruto. I didn't know that you even liked tea." Said Sakura as I turned to her.

In reality I didn't but I hear that even the people who hated it loved it. That and Sakura, Sai, and Kakashi-sensei like tea. So, I'll just suck it up.

"It's okay." I said

"Oh…fine. Hey how's Hinata?" she asked as I smiled.

That's right, Hinata. She's my girlfriend now. I know, I used to be so in love with Sakura but I started to notice Hinata. Than one day I just asked her out on a date. 7 moths ago, was the day that we finally started dating.

"She's doing great. She started talking to her father about me. Though I guess now he won't be so disappointed in her." I said as Sakura laughed.

"Why because you're the Hokage now and not some Genin failure?" asked Sai.

"Yes." I said

"You weren't a total failure Naruto." Said Kakashi

"Pfft. Whatever." I said

My mind started to drift off. I started to think about the past when everything was hard. I remember the Akatsuki. Ohh how my heart just sank every time I saw them. Though, they are all dead now. They were really tough opponents, and even though they never got what they wanted, they still succeed. They showed everyone what really was going on. What the demons were capable of doing to the lands. What they as people were able to do.

Tobi AKA Madara Uchiha died by my hands. I somehow pulled it off. And Zetsu…oh man Zetsu. All I know is that Gaara got to him. And he didn't come at alive. Now Kisame practically died from Killerbee, though nobody knows where his body is. So we just though that the Rakiage just got rid of the body for his brother. Meanwhile everyone else died by someone else. Except Kakuzu and Hidan. The two immortals. When I though that all was lost I used my rasegon and blew Kakuzu away! Take that man!

Anyways, Tobi wanted the 4th Ninja War to start with only Kisame, Zetsu, Sasuke, Karen, Jugo, and Suigetsu left. Which Sasuke and his little gang went with us after I talked some sense into his thick skull. So really Tobi died within an instant. But he told us about Danzo. The 6th hokage. Ugh how I hate him. That jerk put so many people through hell! I'm glad he is in jail now though.

So when I got back home from killing Tobi I got the ANBU to take Danzo away. Than everyone elected me to be the Hokage. My dream finally came true. I kept my promise to Sakura, to everyone! I never go back on my word. That's my nindo, my ninja way…

~Sora's POV~ (AKA Main Character)

I went up to the brown counter and went up to Liliana. She's got long orange hair, green eyes and she wears a blue waiter suit.

"Okay Sora, there are some people at the door. I'll set them down at table 17. You take care of them." She said

"Right away ma'am!!" I said

"…Jeez. It's not an order. You can leave if you want." She said

"Nope. I'm good. Besides where would I go?"

"…Sorry."

"For what?"

"Bringing it up."

"Don't be. I don't care about it Liliana. I can't remember my full past, so what."

"…But aren't you sad that you can't even remember your real name?"

"Well of course, but I'm not going to sulk my life away about it."

"That's the spirit."

"…Okay…"

"Oh. I got to go. Remember! Table 17!"

"I won't."

I grabbed my pen and notepad and went up to table 17.

"Hello, I'm your server. How can I help you?" I asked as I got dirty looks from them.

"…Hey Scum, I want two Jasmine Teas. And now!" said the man as the girl besides him smiled.

"Coming right up!" I said as I faked a smile.

I started to think as I did my job. I remember Liliana saying 8 months ago she found me by a lake. A man was there over me and than vanished. She took me in and let me work at her new Teashop. She gave me the name Sora for she wanted to name her son that but he died by bandits when he was young. She is like my mom. But she really isn't.

She let me have a job without interview. She cared for me even though I could have been a killer. But I don't know who I am. So for now I'm Sora. Sora, the 21 years old that has no idea where he came from, who his family is or even his own name. It hurts me deeply that I can't remember small stuff. I really only remember my age and a small distant voice calling out to me saying 'how could you do this?' but I don't know who is saying it.

I knew that not going on a journey to find my past would be difficult to get over, but lately I have been feeling worse about not going. I just can't leave Liliana. She helped me get through the pain and now I have to pay back the dept. Even if it takes me years to pay it back, I will.

"Hey Sora!" said Liliana as I turned to her.

"Yes Liliana?" I said as she pointed to the door.

"Your turn."

"Okay."

I walked up to the door and looked at the group of four. One girl had short pink hair, green eyes and wore a nice shirt red dress. One boy had short spiky blonde hair, blue eyes and he wore an orange and black sweater with orange sweat pants. The other boy had short black hair; black eyes and he wore a black long sleeve shirt with black carpris. The man had short spiky silver hair, black eyes with one covered by his headband and he wore a ninja uniform. They all gave me a scared looks as I just ignored it. I guess they must have heard the rumour to. That a man forgot his whole past and everyone joked about it. How is it possible for 21 year old to lose his memory?

"Welcome to the Amazing Teashop. I am your server today. How about I get you a table." I said as I lead them to their table.

As they sat down I gave them their menus. They still gave me that look. I started to get mad at them. They don't have to give me horrible looks. I ignored it again and faked a smile.

"H-How may I serve you?" I asked as the silver haired guy turned to me.

"What's your name?" he asked as I felt my face get a shocked look.

"S-Sora…why?" I asked
