Miss Independent- I've been so busy lately, with the Christmas and New Year's spirit so I'm sorry for this late update.

DISOWNING

(Brainstorming for ways to get a nice fluff)

CHAPTER 6. HURTING HIM

Sakura was sitting on Sasuke's ever so comfortable leather chair on his car that she forgot that he was even there. She closed her eyes, inhaled deeply then opened her eyes, which met the scenery of the busy street of the city.

It was well past 5 and she knew that the day was far from over. She turned her head and looked at Sasuke.

For the first time since they've met did she notice how handsome he truly was; His spiky raven hair, his hot bod, which of course, consisted of washboard abs which she noticed, by the way, during their little accidental sleep together, his muscular arms and his stunning pale face.

She smiled and blushed at the same time.

'I don't even know the guy that much and here I am, blushing like a crazed fan girl and even told him a secret that I completely blurted out without even thinking.'

'But I have to admit, he's so hot, handsome, a gentleman, sweet, caring-'

'Yeah I get it!'

"Sakura," he called with his musky voice as he parked his car on the garage.

"Oh, sorry Sasuke," she apologised as she snapped out of her thoughts. "Just busy arguing with myself."

"You're that crazy hm?" he smirked as she blushed with anger.

"Crazy? Look who's talking," she huffed as she crossed her arms.

"Hn, you're talking I know," he said as he smirked once more. "I can see clearly,"

"Oh stop it!" she exclaimed. Sasuke shook his head then opened his door and exited. Sakura exited after, but didn't follow Sasuke inside. She wandered around his front yard.

She smiled.

'I just realised how beautiful his yard looks, oh and see that, it's a Sakura tree!'

Sakura ran towards the beautiful tree and touched its beautiful flowers. 'How could a man like him keep a tree like this in his front yard?'

'True, but in some ways, I somehow remember something about this tree,'

'Yeah, it feels like we were with Sasuke, caring for it and tending its needs,'

Sakura sighed and kept staring at the tree. Somehow, whenever she looks at it, it reminds of her things that she has done with Sasuke. She was confused right now.

For the moment, she knew that she'd only met the guy a few days before but somehow, she keeps remembering things about him that never happened since their first meeting.

'I've always been dreaming of this perfect guy,' she thought. 'What if Sasuke was my perfect guy and somehow by fate, we got separated and now, I'm here again, seeing this tree as a sign of my memories.'

'You are one crazy girl you know; I can't believe I'm actually your conscience,"

'Haha, rant all you want, but I know that I've met him before and spent more time with him than any person I've been and I'm going to find out.'

Sakura smiled of her new plan. She was excited yet scared at the same time. She was excited of finding out the missing things she kept remembering but scared of the outcome.

She looked up and noticed Sasuke come out of his house with an arched brow.

"I was wondering where you are," he said as he approached her. She smiled.

"Don't mind me," she said, "I'm just admiring your beautiful front yard and that pretty tree."

"Hn," he smirked, "Well I got your phone inside my house, now come on."

The two went inside and as Sakura sat on his couch, drinking a hot cup of coffee, his home phone rang.

Sasuke

Shizune

Hello?

Hi Uchiha-san, this is Shizune from the Konoha Hospital.

Hn, what is it you want?

Miss Tsunade-sama wants to have a talk with you with a business about Sakura.

When Sasuke heard Sakura's name, he looked at Sakura then walked away from the living room where they both were, to the kitchen. His action wasn't unnoticed by Sakura who was curiously using her peripherals in watching Sasuke.

What business about her?

Miss Tsunade-sama just want to speak to you concerning her health and about reliving her memory.

Hn, alright I'll be there.

Sasuke placed the receiver down on the living room with Sakura, still watching television.

"Hey Sakura," he said and the girl looked up.

"Oh yeah, I'll go now," she said as she stood up and grabbed her phone that was on the glass table. "Besides I have some unfinished stuff to do."

Sasuke nodded. "You going home?"

"No, actually I'm going to Hinata's apartment, she told me that she has big, surprising news for me," she said as she grabbed her coat, "I just hope she's not pregnant."

"Hn," he smirked. Sasuke knew exactly what the surprise was and blowing it seems like a bad yet tempting idea.

"I just hope that girl didn't do anything bad," she said as she exited his house.

"Well thanks Uchiha," she said with a smile.

"You sure you don't need me to drive you?" he asked as he pulled out his car keys.

"No, its okay," she replied, "I know you still have some unfinished business and besides, I'm going to the grocery store before I head to her house then go to the hospital later on."

"Hn, hop in," he said as he entered his car.

"Didn't you hear what I just sai-"

"I did," he muttered, "but I'll drop you first at Hinata's then I'll go do my unfinished business." He finished his sentence with a smirk which made Sakura shook her head.

"You are a stubborn baka, you know," she said as she laughed and entered his car.

Konoha Hospital 6:00

Sasuke entered the white lighted building with no emotion and laziness. Somehow he didn't feel like being in the hospital, but at the same time, he wanted to because of news.

He pressed the 'up' button on the elevator and let himself in as it carried him into the "Sake lady"'s office.

He entered the dimly lit room to be met by the smell of sake and somewhat smoke. He saw Tsunade behind her desk, Kakashi on the window and Naruto and Ino sitting on the chairs.

"Hey teme!" the blonde greeted, as he attempted to hug Sasuke but was met with a fist on his face.

"Don't touch me dobe," he muttered with a glare as he sat on the chair that Naruto was previously sitting on.

"THAT'S MY CHAIR!" he shouted as he pointed at Sasuke.

"Oh for goodness sake Naruto," breathed Ino as she waved her hands. "Shut up and just sit on the floor and listen!"

He growled then sat down on the floor with crossed arms.

"Now, I've gathered you all here with a decision of what to do with Sakura's recovery."

"I know it's been hard for all of you, especially you, Sasuke, so now, we have decided that it's time to help Sakura, recover her lost memories."

"Really? Does that mean Sakura-chan will be able to remember us?"

"What is it that you don't get stupid?" Ino said, "the remember part-"

"Or my fist about to punch your face, dobe," threatened Sasuke as he completed Ino's sentence.

"You three are very childlike," muttered Kakashi as he shook his head. Two minutes later, Kakashi was on a hospital bed, critically injured with a broken arm and bruised.

Want to know why? Well after his previous comment, the three glared at him and threw the chair at him and since he was sitting on the window sill, he fell three feet below.

Tsunade was now frustrated as she gulped a shot of sake and rubbed her temple that the skin almost ripped off.

"Now as I was saying," she said with a hiss, "Sakura's recovery for the past year was great so as her doctor and as her acting-like-mum, I'm happy to tell you guys that Sakura will be able to remember everything if you help her."

"YAY!"

"YEAH SAKURA-CHAN!"

"Hn, I think she's beating us to it," Sasuke said as he smirked. The people around the room looked at him suspiciously, wanting answers.

"What do you mean teme?" asked Naruto, scratching his head.

"When I walked away from her when I was talking to you, Tsunade-sama, I could clearly see her ears, straining to hear the conversation," he replied, "and the fact that she starts remembering things."

"Ah, good for her," stated the buxom blonde as she sat on her chair. "Well off you go then, I don't have time to entertain you and I have to fix that perverted white-haired idiot, so GET OUT!"

Sakura's POV

I just arrived back in my apartment and was so happy for Hinata! She told me that Naruto proposed to her and we were celebrating like drunken ladies though she only drank 3 glasses, I got my fair share of 5.

But amidst all the celebrating, my mind kept drifting back to Sasuke-kun. Yeah I call him with a 'kun'.

I don't what it is about him, but it makes me so comfortable. I mean all I remember, is that I only knew him a few days before, at a restaurant, yet here we are, acting like we're a couple.

For goodness sake, he kissed me! Remember? Yeah he did, yet I didn't even bounce back and punch him, which I would normally do.

But the thing that most bothers me, is the fact that I kept remembering things about him. Once while working with a patient at the hospital, I remembered cuddling next to him in bed!

I was blushing so bad that my patient thought that I'm the one who needs medication! It was so embarrassing, but I just dosed him in a sleeping pill which felt good.

After that, I suddenly thought that maybe, Sasuke and I did meet before. So now, I decided to finally see what's going on.

Uchiha Sasuke

CEO of Uchiha Corp (Konoha)

0214356

Sasuke,

As you know, the overseas branches of our company is now being built right this moment and is said that it would be finished in no more than 9 months.

As exciting as it is, unfortunately, we have to postpone our travel there till after 10 months. So I suggest you pull up your time, start winning Sakura back so we can take her with us.

That was what your mother said so don't start laughing at me. Till next time.

Fugaku U.

Uchiha Corp. (Tokyo)

089765

Sasuke smirked with his mum's comment. She sure knows how to make his youngest boy smile.

He was on his recliner chair, watching some odd television and was now looking up at the ceiling. His house has been so quiet without his cherry blossom.

The whole year that she was gone was the hardest year of his life. He spent Christmas and New Year's badly by ignoring people and cutting his social life and focused only with his job.

He sighed then closed his eyes. Now he's happy to know that surely, Sakura would remember them once again.

With that thought, he stood up and turned off the TV. It was already 11 at night and here he was, watching, while reading a faxed message from his dad; so not him.

He stood up and stretched. He was a feeling a little tired so he went up the stairs, splashed his face with water, changed to his boxers then fell fast asleep.

In the meantime, Sakura just finished her overtime shift and was feeling casually dizzy. She was the second last person to leave the hospital. (The last is the cleaner)

'I better get a raise with this,' she thought as she wrapped her scarf around her neck.

The sky was dark now and the only lights were the post lights that only lighted a particular circle on the ground. Much to her discomfort, there were no more taxis that arrived after waiting for more than 10 minutes.

"Great!" she said out loud. "How am I supposed to get home? My place is a long way from here, Ino's place is farther away and there's no one else close."

She sighed. "I give up," she muttered as she sat on the pavement. It was very cold now and she could see her breath in front of her face.

She buried her face on her knees and hoped that someone would come and save her from this dreadful nightmare; a lonely and cold one.

She stayed in that position for as long as she could remember. Then right there, she started remembering her past.

She remembered Ino, who she thought was just her friend after meeting in her flower shop was actually her best friend since childhood.

She remembered Hinata who befriended her and helped her though tough times, was actually her long lost friend that was part of their girl gang.

Ten ten, the girl with a bun hair she met at the club that Sasuke took her in for their first date together. She remembered that she was the tomboyish girl of the gang who loves collecting weapons of all sorts.

Naruto, the blonde headed idiot who she thought was very funny, was actually Sasuke's best friend and rival and the guy who fought with Sasuke because of her.

She smiled at that thought. Then she started remembering things about different people but very vague.

She was happy that she remembered things about her past, but she knew somehow, that it was still incomplete. She knew that there were a lot of things she still has to know and tomorrow she'll start asking.

But for today, she needs to find a way to get home before she freezes.

"Girl you better hurry up and find yourself a comfy place to sleep! I don't want to die yet… especially here!"

"Ugh, what am I gonna do?" she said out loud, knowing that no one there was close enough to hear her. It was 2 minutes before 12 now and she was starting to lose hope.

'What if no one finds me? What if I can't find my way home? What if I die here in this city?' she thought.

"Sakura-san?" Sakura looked up to see who said her name. She saw a boy, wearing black coat that covered all his body. He had a grey scarf around her neck and has red hair.

"Umm sorry, but do I know you?" she asked as she started fearing the man. What if he was some kind of paedophile who planned everything just to get a piece of her? She was starting to freak out now.

She backed away slowly and dug into her pockets for her chilli spray. 'These things can so come in handy right now,'

The red-haired noticed what she was clutching and smiled.

"I'm Sabaku Gaara," he said with a small smile. "I'm a friend of the Uchiha and the blonde-haired dope."

When Sakura heard Sasuke's last name, her grip loosened.

"Hi," she said still doubtful of his gothic like look, "Kind of strange seeing a stranger here at 12 pm at night."

Gaara looked at her then stretched out his hands. "Well I wasn't really planning on meeting anyone here so it's a shock for me to see you," he said as he lifted Sakura up.

"Well thanks for letting me know who you are and reminding me of the time," Sakura said, "but I have to go home now."

"Home?" he said with an arched brow, "well it seems that there's no more taxis around. Would you like me to take you to the Uchiha's place?"

"Sasuke-kun's place?" she asked with an arched brow as well. "Why his place?"

Being a smart person as he is, Gaara didn't say something. Maybe something was up at the moment that he didn't want to put his head into and get into trouble.

"Well that's the place I can only offer," He said as he started walking off, "if you won't take it, then so be it."

Sakura bit her lip and anger. "Fine," she called out. "I'll come with you to Sasuke-kun's"

Sasuke's house 12:31 am (midnight)

Sasuke groaned as he heard his doorbell ring. He looked over at his shoulder to find the time. He was greatly annoyed with the fact that people will start visiting him in an hour.

'I thought I told those damn workers to come at 9 not 12,' he muttered angrily as he pushed the covers away and walked past his room.

He groaned as he walked down the stairs.

Sakura and Gaara were patiently waiting for Sasuke to wake up. But Gaara knew that if Sasuke saw him there with Sakura, a fight will break lose so he said goodbye to Sakura and drove off.

Sakura was still staring at the smoke that came from Gaara's car when Sasuke came and opened the door.

"S-Sakura?" The girl turned around and gave him an apologetic smile.

"I'm so sorry to wake you up at this hour Sasuke-kun," she said. "It's just that I was finished late and-"

"Finish your story later," he said still not comprehending that Sakura was standing right in front of house at 12 at night. "Come inside before you freeze out there."

Sakura thanked him and entered his house, blushing madly because of his god like body staring her down. She was thankful that the lights were off or else Sasuke would've seen her embarrassment.

Sasuke gave her a questioning look and she already knew what to say.

"I was working over time at the hospital and finished at 11 and by that time, there were no more taxis so I couldn't get home," she replied with a tired smile.

"Oh and Gaara-san took me," she said with a yawn, "he seems to know you."

When Sasuke heard his name, his fists started curling till his knuckles had gone all white. He was giving the floor a frightening death glare that made Sakura's heart beat faster.

"That stupid red-haired took you here?" he said, "alone in his car?"

Sakura was backing away from Sasuke who was now walking towards her with a deadly glare. Sakura's back pressed on the wall and she slowly shrinking.

"S-Sasuke-k-kun I-I don't think t-that there's s-something w-wron-" Sakura was cut off when Sasuke captured her lips with his own.

Sakura's eyes widened with Sasuke's act. She desperately wanted to give in and open her mouth for him but she wasn't just giving up like that.

She pushed him off and glared at him. "What the heck is wrong with you Uchiha?" she asked, threateningly. Sasuke looked down on the floor, he had an apologetic face and a guilty face.

"Sorry," he muttered as he found composure and turned away from her. "You can sleep on the room you slept before."

Sakura nodded then looked on the floor as well. She pitied Sasuke; she didn't really want to be that harsh to him.

"I'll leave you a shirt and boxers upstairs on your room. 'Night."

Sakura followed Sasuke up the stairs after recovering. She opened the room that was next to his and found the clothes there. She smiled and looked at the wall clock.

'Gosh it's 1 already,'

She quickly discarded all of her clothes and hanged it inside the closet. She yawned, pulled the covers and closed her eyes.

She desperately wanted to say sorry to him but argued with herself that he should be the one to say sorry.

She sighed then opened her eyes once more. 'I don't but somehow, I think I've hurt him more…'
