Chapter 2
How could this be? How could his man her husband? How could her mind let her down in such a way? How could she forget her own wedding day? What cruel stroke of faith had erased it from her memory? She let out a shaky breath. " um... where did we meet? she asked.
We met at the konoha clinic you were my attending nurse." He answere her. Sakura ran her tounge over her now dry lips as part of the fog cleared in her head." I...I remember the clinic..." She put her hand to soothe her now aching head. " I can picture it. the white walls, the smell of antiseptic..." "Do you remember your employer?" Asked Sasuke.
Sakura looked up into sasuke's eyes but all she saw was a bottomless hole. nothing.
" Um Kabuto ..." She said after a moment, her spirits instantly lifting as the memories flooded back. At least i haven't forgoten too much of my past. she thought in relief. " He manages the clinic i work for. He's from suna like me, we went to the same school. He gave me the job at the clinic. He was helping to find more permannt job at the konoha hospital since he is friends with the head of the hospital..."
Somethiagainicked in his eyes a quick lightning flash of something she couldn't quite identify. " Why can't i remember you?" She asked. His dark eyes gave nothing away. " The doctor said not to rush things darling." he said. " you will remember when the time is right. it might take a few days of dven weeks."
" But what if i don't " she tried not to sound too panicky. his broaf shoulders rosr snd than droped in s dismissive shrug. " don't concern your self with things that are out of your control. maybe you'll rejember something oncr eere bsck at home in the Uchiha compound." he said. Sakura just nodded and tried to remember her now it hit her. " you weren't in the car with me were you?"
Thr lightning-quick movement came and went in his gaze again. " no i was not." he said. " you were with your.." he stopped for a moment. " with kabuto."
" kabuto? is he injured? can i see him? is he alright? the silence that followed after her panicked questions did nothing to ease her worry. Sakura started to feel like her heart was going to burst out her chest in its panickef state.
" am sorry to be the obe to tell you this but Kabuto did not survive the accident."Sasuke said without a hint of emotion in his words. Sakura just stare at him in shock her body feeling numb.
