Chapter 1

One beautiful day on Konoha,

Sakura lost her memory.

It happened very suddenly, and without warning.

"Eh? What am I doing here? Who are you? What is this in front of me?"

Team 7 had been sitting at Naruto's favourite ramen shop, accompanied by a few friends, consisting of Shikamaru, Ino, and Tenten. No one really noticed what she had said at first, except maybe Naruto, but he didn't really acknowledge it until Sakura started to stare at his face markings.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Eh? Whaddya mean, Sakura? My name's Naruto, you know that!"

"I do?"

"Sakura, is something wring? You're acting weird."

By now, the rest of the group had noticed that something was unusual, mainly du to Naruto's loud and bemused voice.

"Eh, Sakura's acting weird? That's nothing new," announced Ino in a loud and laughing voice as the blond scooted closer to Sasuke. She had cuddled up to and had even begun hugging Sasuke (him trying to hold his temper and not throw Ino across the street) before she had realised that Sakura hadn't made so much as a blink of objection.

"Eh? Sakura? What's wrong with you?"

The pink haired girl blinked. "So, my name's Sakura?"

Naruto waved his hand in front of Sakura's face. "Hello! Sakura? What's wrong with you?!?"

Sakura shrugged. "I don't know. You said your name was Naruto?" she turned to the others. "So what are your names?" The others stared at her.

Naruto leaned over. "Uh, Sakura? You know their names! We've been together since the Academy!"

She blinked, watched closely by all the others. "The Academy? Where's that? What did we do there?"

More staring. Tenten stood up, and moved next to Sakura. "Sakura, I'm going to list off a bunch of names. You tell me if they mean anything to you. Okay?" Sakura nodded. "Okay. But first, what's your name?"

"Tenten."

"Okay, Tenten."

"First name. Kakashi Sensei."

Sakura shook her head. No.

"Naruto Uzumaki."

"He's that one, isn't he? He said his name was Naruto."

"Right. Next, Sasuke Uchiha."

Shake. No.

"Lee?" No.

"Ino?" No.

"Gai?" No.

"Tsunade-Sama?" No.

"Neji? Shikamaru? Hinata?" No.

"Sorry, Tenten. I don't know any of them. Are they these people here?" Sakura gestured to the others watching the interrogation.

Naruto spoke up again. "Sakura, what happened?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. All I remember is that I just found myself sitting here listening to you people talk, and I realised that I didn't know anything. Like what is this dish in front if me? And how do you eat it? My stomach hurts, and it looks good, what ever it is."

Silence prevailed as everyone stared at her. "Sooo . . ." mused Shikamaru, "You really don't remember anything?"

Sakura shook her head. "Nope."

Ino started to look worried. Sasuke looked bored. He was sure this was another weird girl trick to get to him. Shikamaru looked bemused, Tenten looked concerned, and Naruto looked truly worried.

"Look, you really don't remember how to eat ramen?" He asked.

Again Sakura shook her head. "Is it what this is called?"

Naruto nodded. "Yeah. Do you remember how to use chopsticks?"

Sakura blinked. "Chopsticks?"

Naruto reached for a new pair. "Yeah, you see?" He broke them apart. "You use them to eat."

Sakura nodded. "Okay." she mimicked Naruto, reaching for a new pair, and breaking them apart. "Now what?"

"You eat!" Naruto dipped his chopsticks into his bowl, and began slurping up his noodles, then glanced over. Sakura kept trying to draw out even just one strand of pasta from the soup, but kept messing up.

"Here." Naruto leaned over, took her chopsticks form her hand, and lifted a perfect load from the bowl. "Open your mouth." She complied, and he fed her the noodles. In the back of his mind, he heard a voice cheering "Just like a Date!" Except that everyone was watching him feed her.

Once they had finished the bowl, Sakura beamed. "Thank you, Naruto!"

Naruto smiled, rubbing the back of his neck with a hand. "He he, you're welcome!"

"Hey, um, Naruto?"

"Yeah, Sakura-chan?"

"Where do I live?"

There was a huge silence as Naruto stared first at Sakura, then at the others, who had been watching the scene. In his face was the question they all were thinking;

'What's happened to Sakura?'

Well, this has started promisingly! I hope that I'll be able to finish this. I already have another chapter to type up!
