While traveling to search for his brother with team Hebi, Sasuke found his self wondering in the forest alone, searching for some information, but he didn't expect what he found in the middle of the forest. Non other than his ex-team mate with pink hair walking like a lost child.
"Sakura"-He said.
The pink hair kunoichi turn her gaze and look at him.
"Do you know me?"-she asked him.
Sasuke give her a puzzled look. Sakura walk towards him.
"Do you know me?"-she ask again.
Sasuke look at her eyes, the same emerald green eyes but the lights of it is gone.
"What happened?"-Sasuke ask her.
Sakura just look at the stranger that call her name, (Well, if that's her name) Did this man knows me?
"Is Sakura my name?"-She ask. Sasuke give her a questioning look.
Is she joking?
"Yes"-Sasuke said.
"ahhh...so, I am Sakura.."-She whisper.
"What happened?"-Sasuke ask with his cold and icy tone. Sakura look at him, smile and scratch the back of her head.
"I'm sorry, I don't really know, I just woke up under a tree and can't remember everything, even my name"-she said. He just look at her, her eyes is empty, nothing can be seen, Sasuke just turn his back at her and walk away.
"W-Wait!"-he heard that Sakura walk towards him, Sasuke stop.
"D-Do you know me?"-She asked.
"No"-Sasuke answered plainly.
"Ah...o-okay, I'm sorry to disturb you, Mister"-Sakura said. Sakura step back and roamed her eyes to the forest.
Where am I? What am I doing here? What am I going to do? Were should I go? She asked herself.
She turn back and start to walk. She roamed her eyes on her sorroundings while walking. Why is she here anyways? Why she didn't remember anything? Sakura stop in her walking and clutch her head. She feels useless, empty. Then she heard some noises, maybe not that far from here, Sakura decided to follow the noise. She found a group of people, woman, man, children, horses that is pulling their carriages. Sakura starts to walk some of them and a group of family -well, she thinks that they are - turn their attention to her.
"uhm...excuse me"-Sakura politely said. When she saw that they are looking at her she continues.
"In any cause, did you ever know me?."-She ask. The couple look at each other and then look at her.
"We haven't saw you before."-The woman answer. Sakura bit her lower lip.
"Uhm.. Is that so? Well, can I ask where are you heading?"-she ask.
"We are heading on the nearest village."-the man said.
"Is it okay with you if I travel with you? Just.. just as we headed to the village, I promise, I won't be a problem,"-Sakura said and raise her right hand. The couple look at each other and look at her, the man nodded while the woman is smiling at her. Sakura smile and thank the couple before following them.
Maybe she can get some clue on the village.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
When they arrive at the village, Sakura said goodbye to the couple, the couple is really nice to her. Two days of travelling, Sakura didn't feel bored because Tsukame, the woman, is really a kind of chatter - not a loud type- but a bubbly type, she tells her some stories from her old village, how she met his husband and why they are travelling. She found out that they are from a small village from the west and sadly, it was destroyed because of some war, that's they, with the villages, travels to find a new home.
Takoru, the man is less talkative man, but indeed a nice person, he always smiles at her and take care of her, just like his own sibling. Both hesitates to allow her wonder the town alone because they knew that she didn't even know who she was- except for her name- and said that she could live with them, but she declined because she knew that that is too much. Before they depart to her, they gave her some money and she accepted that.
Sakura wonders at the small town, she didn't even know where she will go, she she feels a little hungry, she found a small stand that is selling something colorful small balls that smells sweet. Sakura walk towards it and but some, she sits at the empty table and eats her dango. When she finishes her food, she starts to walk over the town, she smiles thinking that maybe, she is from village like this, just like the people in here, she lives normally and happily. Do she have family? friends? love one? Maybe she does, thinking too much, she didn't notice the man in front of her and bump in him.
"Sorry."-she mumbles. The man look at her.
"Oh.. a kunoichi"-the man said. Sakura looks at her questioning.
"Ku-kunoichi?"-Sakura said.
"Eh? You, a kunoichi? and pretty one huh"-the man said and smirk, looks at her from head to toe.
"What is a Kunoichi?."-Sakura ask the man. The man look surprise but just a second and smirk again.
"Well, well, you don't know a kunoichi?"-he said. Sakura shook her head.
"No. Sadly, I didn't even know where I come from, can you tell me what is a kunoichi?"-she ask.
"Well then, you can come with me.. I'll tell you.."-he said. Sakura smile and nodded. Sakura walk besides him, he seems a nice person because he will help her to know what she wants. He also said that a kunoichi is term for a slave girl, and if some bad person finds her wondering the town alone, they might hurt her. They enter a small store of beautiful kimono.
"Here, it will looks good on you"-the man said and handed her a beautiful blue kimono with pink flower patterns. Sakura look at the man.
"Why are you giving me this?"-she said and look at the beautiful kimono.
"Well, you should look good. We are going to a person, yeah, a person that will help you to answer your questions, this person knows all, but you have to obey what he says for you to gain what you want. You should look good to catch his attetion."-he said. Sakura nodded at him and immediately change. When Sakura finish changing, the man take her to a small stand where offering some foods and tells her that she should wait for him there, he will talk to the 'PERSON' and make an appointment, she shouldn't go anywhere because he will come back for her and Sakura nodded, before the man go, he left her with food.
"How nice that man is."-Sakura said while munching her food.
Indeed, the man is really nice, for a stranger, who helps her to gather information, buys her a beautiful kimono and giving her food, not just food but delicious foods. Sakura is deep in her thoughts when something or rather someone is towering her.
"Sakura."- she look up and saw the man from the forest who called her Sakura. That's why she knows her name. Sakura rose from her seat and bow.
"oh.. Mister.. nice seeing you again!"-she blurted and look at the man again. She blush, the man is indeniably handsome, she just realize it. The said man just look at her.
"Come with me."-he said and turn his back to her.
"But the man said that I should wait for him. I can't go with you Mister. I'm sorry,"-Sakura said. Sasuke turn around and look at her again.
"Man?"-he ask.
"Yes, the nice man, he said he will help me to know where I live, he said we will talk to a person that will help me to go back to my village."-she said.
"Don't believe him."-he said.
"B-but, he is a nice person! He actually gives me this beautiful kimono and this foods"-she said and pointed at the foods in the table.
"He just did that because he will earn more."- he said. Sakura tilt her head and look at him in question.
"I talked to him and he agree with the payment"-he said.
"P-payment?"-Sakura ask.
"Yes, now, follow me"-Sasuke said and walk towards the streets. Sakura was about to ask him but he is now walk away from her, and she decided to follow him, she feels like she is connected to him.
"Mister, can I ask you?"-Sakura ask, but the man didn't talk. But Sakura didnt stop.
"Mister, what's your name?"-she ask. Sasuke, again didn't answer her.
"What should I address you?"-she said.
"Mister!"-Sakura said. Sasuke stop and look at her.
"Sasuke."-He said. Sakura question him but understand it immediately. He turn his back and continue his walk and Sakura follows him
"Alright. Mister Sasuke!"-she said
