Author's note:

Hey everyone... Wow.. I can't believe I posted another chapter so soon.. that means I officially have no life.. Well, this chapter didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to.. it was rushed, mostly because I'll be starting college soon.. ^_^

Let me answer a few of your questions.. No Sakura will not be the only one who'll be remembering.. I'll be posting Team seven's povs .. though mostly Sasuke's and Sakura's .. I was thinking that each character will have different ways that'll connect them to their past lives..For example, the person who'll be remembering the most will definitely be Sakura..On the other hand, Sasuke will be remembering minor details.. and this time instead of an inner Sakura , we'll have an inner Sasuke , that'll help him along the way..cuz we all know that guy is too stubborn to realize anything on his own.

Oh and i guess using '...' instead of a full stop is not correct, but by using them i kinda mark that this sentence was written by me.. these dots give me self satisfaction and are thus not gonna be removed.

Thanks for the reviews everyone.. 3

Chapter 3: Whispering memories.

"Naruto .." I whispered..

He looked stunned, but not more than me.. At first he was trying to find words to reply , but after a while he gave up and just flashed me a smile.I could see that he was feeling uneasy, maybe he was experiencing the same thing I had.

He reached for my face, and wiped away the tears with his index finger.. but suddenly blushed and looked away when he realized what he was doing. For a second I could've sworn his eyes widened as though he remembered something..

"I don't like it when girls cry .." he said as he sat down on the seat behind me..

My heart began to race, and i clutched my chest.. His touch still lingered on my cheeks, and at that moment if I was asked.. I could've told them the exact point where his fingers touched my face.

For an instant , his face flashed before my eyes.. but that image of him was much younger and had scratch marks..I tried to remember where I had seen him before..but suddenly my head began to hurt, and it felt like my brain didn't want me to remember.

It felt as though my memories were locked up, memories I was sure I had'nt experienced.. but somehow I knew that those memories were real... maybe even more real than my the ones I remembered.

"Gosh, Sakura.. don't just space out." Ino groaned, as she hit the back of my head with an over sized book."Meet.. Baka.. Oh I mean Naruto."

I turned around and looked at Naruto.. who seemed to be in deep thought.. Suddenly I felt whatever attraction i had been feeling ,crash and burn before me.. Why did that happen ?Well clearly because , I had a feeling he was thinking about how I knew his name..or why I was crying.. but alas , he was too busy to think about other stuff to even notice the pink haired girl sitting infront of him..

"RAMEN.. Yeah.. I'll have RAMEN for dinner." he suddenly barked, almost knocking all of us out of our seats.. I squinted at him, to check .. if that was really what he had been thinking about.. The satisfied expression on his face, and the loud grumbling of his stomach.. gave me my answer.

Ino began to laugh, while Hinata and Tenten just snickered.. Me? Well I was too surprised and annoyed to do anything.. "Idiot.. this is Sakura." TenTen finally spoke up, while poking Naruto's shoulder.

Again..The same look in his eyes that i had noticed before, it couldn't have been a coincidence .. right?

"Nice to meet ya, Sakura Chaaaan." he cooed, as he embraced me in a tight hug.. I tried to bear with the fact that he was crushing my bones, but when it got too hard to breathe..my hand involutarily landed a punch on his face...

Although, I admit ..that was mean of me.. and the pained expression on his face made me feel a little guilty.. But truth be told..before that punch, I had never felt as alive as i did right now."Nice to meet you too Naruto."

Sasuke's pov.

As Karin , clinged on to my shoulder and I entered the class room.. I felt guilty of being mean to that pink haired girl.. I had no intention to be mean to her, but i couldn't afford another fan girl.

Not that Karin was any different from the girls who followed me around, but i liked to keep her around.. just because her presence kept the fan girls away.I don't even remember agreeing that she was my girlfriend..

I sat down on my seat and eagerly waited for class to begin, because I for one, was bored out of my skull.I sighed, as I lazily looked around the classroom.. I squinted at Naruto ...who was busy chatting away with someone..I almost froze , when i realized it was her.

"Since when is she in this class?" I thought grudgingly.. trying to remember if id seen her in this class before..She looked at Naruto with eyes that carried such familiarity, as though she'd known him for decades.. Her jaded eyes seemed vaguely familiar.. so alluring that i almost drowned in them.

Suddenly I smelt a strange scent .. the scent wasn't strong but it stood out from the rest of the scents. I realized it was the odour of cherry blossom's.. I almost whimpered when i recognized the smell.. I felt my heart thumping loudly and uncontrollably, I was anxious... Anxious to find who that scent belonged to.. yet somewhere inside my head i already knew..'sakura'

"Hey Sasuke." Naruto screamed, as he waved his arms around like a lunatic.

I groaned, because I was not looking forward in having a conversation with him so early in the morning.

"Yo, Bastard." I stated flatly.

"Shut up Sasugay ...Meet her, This is SAKURA CHAAN."

My mind couldn't understand anything that just happened..My eyes were fixed on her.. and refused to look anywhere else.. I knew was I was going insane.. and it was all her fault. ..

"I am not interested in talking to.. someone like her." I spat, trying to regain control over my mind.. I wanted to push her away from me, because she was making me feel weak.. and that was something I couldn't accept.

She frowned and turned away, I knew I was making a mistake... My heart was screaming at me .. ... Don't do this Again Sasuke...Again? I flinched at my thoughts..What the hell was my sub conscious talking about..

Maybe my heart knew something I didn't ... but I didn't stop her .. maybe because of my stuborn-ness ...or maybe because of the emptiness I felt inside my soul.. that was too afraid to let anyone in..

All I knew was.. I had to stay away from this Sa-ku-ra at all costs.

Sakura's pov.

"Don't mind him Sakura Chan, he's like that to everyone.." Naruto said, as we both sat back down on our seats ..

I smirked,"Well.. I don't really care.. You see I hate bastards like him.. who think that they are better then everybody else..."

Naruto's grin widened,"Now that's the spirit Sakura chan." He chirped.. He spent the first period making me laugh at the most idiotic things.. I knew he was trying to take my mind off of Sasuke's rude comment earlier.. And at that instant I was sure, that I won't meet a better guy in my life than him..

When the last bell rang , Ino grabbed my arm and led me to the isolated girl's locker room.. I loved Ino.. but sometimes her actions made me question her sanity... She made me sit down...locked all the doors and windows, and knelt down infront of me.

"Sa-Ku-Ra.. guess what?" she whispered... in a tone that made chills run down my spine..

"What?" I exclaimed frantically.

"You and I.. will be having the time of our lives tonight." she replied devilishly.. her demeanor was making me more and more nervous."Since your new i'll be making sure you have fun in Tokyo."

"What...?"

"We're gonna crash a college party tonight.."

I loved having fun..and I loved parties.. But crashing a college party, was insane..and dangerous.. I looked at Ino, who just gave me a wink.

Deep inside my gut I realized, that having Ino for a best friend wasn't gonna be easy.
