Previously-

The girl blinked and lifted her hands to her head "I … I cant remember…"

"amnesia?" Shikamaru asked. Ino stared "most likely… but amnesia can be relatively easy to heal…" she stepped closer to the girl and placed a hand over her eyes. The girl back away letting out a light gasp. Sasuke knelt down next to her "its ok she wont hurt you" he tried to sound as comforting as possible but somehow it came sounding like a warning. The girl stared into his eyes and her mouth slowly opened .

"Itachi…" She whispered , Sasuke's eyes went wide.

Sasuke eyes flashed and he grabbed her shoulders slamming her against the side of the boat. The girl let out a yelp and closed her eyes as if expecting a blow.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME?!?" he screamed at her, his face only inches away from her own. Naruto grabbed Sasuke shoulders and pulled him back "Sasuke stop it!" he yelled. Sasuke shoved him off and shook the whimpering girl again. "Answer me damn it!" The girls eyes flared and she looked up at him with determination.

Now… let me warn you…

What happened next is something no female had ever don't before, at least … not to Sasuke. The crew looked on in horror as the girl pushed him back and lifted her foot slamming it into his face and literally sending him flying back.

The first thought going through Sasuke mind was 'that's a strong girl…'

THUMP… and groan…

Neji and Tenten lifted Sasuke to his feet as he wiped away the blood coming out of his mouth.

Ino blinked "your just gonna let her do that to you?!"

Naruto couldn't help but give a playful wink to the pink haired girl.

Hinata gasped and hid behind Naruto for fear of Sasuke's oncoming wrath.

Neji eyes her with fascination

Shikamaru mumbled something about how troublesome this was

And Tenten has her fist in the air yelling something about girl power.

Gaara tensed and looked at Sasuke who was currently giving the pink headed girl one of his most vile stares.

"She's going back over board now!" he said as he advanced towards her.

Gaara had moved in from of the girl putting a hand on Sasuke's shoulder as if to calm him.

"Sasuke she's just frightened, besides she's a healer we could use her on the ship… don't let your anger get the best of you…" Sasuke clenched his fists and looked down at the girl once more.

"why have you taken such interest in this girl Gaara…" he never took his eyes off of her. "what are you hiding?" Gaara turned to look at the girl.

" I …" he shifted "well… I knew her when I was younger…"

The girl in the mean time was trying to stand up, her worn out legs weren't being of much use though. She looked at Gaara with a calm face "you did?"

"Yes," Gaara's eyes were downcast.

Ino shrieked, "hey we don't need a healer IM the healer on this boat!!!" everyone ignored her.

Naruto watched with curiosity his mouth in a giant O shape.

"Do you remember him at all miss?" Tenten asked.

The girl shook her head, "all I know is that he ran away… nothing else.. I don't even know his name."

Sasuke , who had spent the last five minutes regaining his dignity coughed. "so then what's your name girl?" he asked in an icy tone.

She glared at him. Sasuke sighed in annoyance "why wont you talk to me?"

"you look like him…"

Naruto popped his head in "like who? Itachi?"

She nodded, Sasuke couldn't help but wince at the thought. 'do I really?'

"oh well he isn't him… I promise!" Naruto beamed his nicest smile at her. The girl shyly smiled back her shoulders relaxing lightly. Gaara moved next to her "Your name is Sakura… Sakura Haruno… Remember?" he asked. She shook her head.

"then how do you know Itachi" Tenten help Sakura stand up straight.

"I… I don't know. I'm sorry…" Sasuke growled

"if you have amnesia just heal it…" he spat.

"I cant" she stated.

"well I can!" Ino pushed her way towards Sakura placing her hands over her eyes again. "this time stay still" she hissed. Sakura barley nodded.

A faint green light hovered over Ino's hands. She stood there for about five minuets grumbling something inaudible. "what's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

"it's a mind block… the stupid girl put up a mind block!" Ino removed her hand and crossed her arms.

"why would that happen?" Naruto asked.

"I don't know, she probably got raped or something," Sakura looked up at her in horror. Sasuke tensed. "you see sometime girls who usually are weak physically and mentally do this when something bad happens to them, they do it so they can forget whatever happened its usually rape, torture or murder, its more like something a weakling would do, I'm guessing she was-" Ino was cut off.

"Ino stop it." Sasuke looked at her, "just back to the infirmary and well call for you when needed…" Sakura's breathing had quickened as she looked at Gaara with pleading eyes. Tenten wrapped an arm around Sakura's shoulder "its ok Sakura, well take good care of you here, your safe now." Ino looked at Sasuke "b-but I-" "now, Ino…" Sasuke ordered.

Once Ino had left Sasuke looked back at Sakura, whatever happened to her, he guessed it was because of Itachi.

"Naruto, put he in the extra room, give her food and water… well all just sleep on this.." Although it seemed a strange way to sum up the day, it was the most effective route presented. So Sakura was put in the extra room (Right next to the captains ) Gaara stood outside her door for a good hour before he finally went to his cot. Naruto gave her some ramen, Neji gave her a speech on how much of a bastard Sasuke was, Shikamaru thought she was troublesome, and Sasuke ignored her completely.

Tenten decided that what she needed most right now was a friend… and so she gave that to Sakura.. a friendship… the third most precious gift Sakura would ever receive. What are the first and second? … well that's a secret… (:

Sasuke had washed the blood off of his face and changed his shirt. He wasn't tired, he was restless. Why the hell did this girl know his brothers name, and then what are the odds that he would find her floating out in the middle of the ocean…

It all seemed off. He ran his fingers though his hair and sighed. This was frustrating. She was frustrating. And currently… Life was frustrating…

Before he knew it Sasuke found himself in front of her door listening. He didn't hear anything other than breathing. She was asleep. 'no duh, its past midnight…'

He slowly twisted the door knob and gently pushed it forward trying to be as quiet as possible. The door creaked… and Sasuke cursed.

Have you ever noticed, that when you try to be quiet everything you do is noisy? Like in the morning when everyone is asleep and your awake, you make yourself some cereal trying to be as silent as a mouse but every step you take is like someone clapping their hands, you open the fridge and it sounds like a thunder bolt, you set down your bowl and it sounds like a bombe went of in your kitchen…

That's how Sasuke felt now. As he watched her sleep,

She was laying in her bed covered in a sheen of sweat, but she was shivering like she was in Antarctica. But her breathing was calm, as if she had no troubles at all. Irritating girl.

"your probably the most irritating girl I have every met…" he grumbled.

Sakura shifted in her sleep causing Sasuke to go stalk still, what would his explanation be if he was caught watching her sleep?

'oh hey I was just watching you sleep don't mind me at all!' Sasuke sweat dropped at the idea. Turning he glanced at her once last time before leaving.

"wait!" called a feminine voice.

Sasuke cursed and slowly turned around "…" what was he supposed to say?

Sakura blinked at him, "what's your last name?"

Sighing he walked over to her and sat in the side of her bed "Uchiha…"

"oh," She lifted her knees to her chest and exhaled "you his brother"

"I'm sorry for anything he did to you," he looked intently at the floor. Damn it was dirty, lazy ass Shikamaru was supposed to clean this room…

"Its ok… sorry for kicking you" she blushed at the memory. Sasuke smirked. "it didn't hurt"

Sakura twitched, "I send you flying,… and you were bleeding," She stated.

"yes but your weak"

"Your weak girl"

Sakura blinked "what did you say?"

"I said your weak.." he growled slightly irritated that he had to repeat himself.

"Deja vu" she whispered.

Sakura closed her eyes as pieces started falling back into her mind.

- - - - -

"worthless!"

"you WILL die here"

"your under MY control"

"SAKURA RUN!"

"now your alone."

"Sakura Haruno… You MINE…"
