Sakura got up the next day and sighed; he was coming here today. A lone tear escaped, she hurriedly whipped it away before grabbing her keys and heading downstairs. Her father and mother greeted her as she walked down stairs and she smiled back; they had become the greatest thing ever, but they weren't the same as the Uchiha's. She picked up Hinata who talked about a new guy coming to school, about how he supposedly goth. Sakura took in a deep breath, trying to ignore the deep stabbing pains in her heart. "What's wrong? You seem sad about something." Hinata asked quietly.
Sakura smiled. "It's nothing, I was just remembering something."
Hinata smiled back, tensely. "Ok then."
They had pulled into the school and Sakura quickly found a space to park in, Hinata jumped out shortly followed by Sakura, she wasn't paying attention until Hinata let out a small gasp. As Sakura looked up she saw what had caught her attention, it was Itachi. He was the same as always, dark and distant, but just seeing him made the tears come to her eyes. Suddenly he looked her dead in the eyes, curiosity burned in their dark depths. She turned to Hinata. "I have to go to the bathroom, tell our teacher I'll be late." She rasped out.
She ran to the closest bathroom and locked herself in one of the stalls; she sled down the walls, sobs racking her body. How could she go on like this? With him so close, being himself, and not knowing her; not loving her. She sniffed a little and finally stood up, and walked out fixing her makeup trying to make herself presentable again. Hinata was waiting for her when she walked out, she gave her a worried look but Sakura just smiled. "Before you ask, I'm ok." She said.
Hinata scoffed. "Yeah you just froze in the middle of the hallway before running into the bathroom; the new kid must think you're crazy! He even asked about you once you where gone."
Sakura's eyes widened. "What did he ask?"
"Who you where and if you where alright; why?"
"Just curious; really it's nothing. Let's get to art before teacher gives us d-hall!" Sakura said.
Hinata just nodded and followed her friend down the hall; she was worried about Sakura. She couldn't remember a time when she acted like this, maybe she knew the new kid. 'Only time will tell' she thought.

Itachi's POV

That girl with the pink hair, she seemed so familiar but he couldn't quiet place it. He had watched her run in the hallway and it confused him, why did she run, and why did she look at him with loving and familiar eyes? Who was she?! It seemed like she haunted the very edge of his memory, but it was a thick haze. He sighed as he walked to his new art class, hoping that she would just leave his mind so he could get on with his life.
When he walked in shock traveled through his body, she was there, sitting with her friend. But she seemed perfectly fine now. He walked up to the teacher and she smiled warmly at him. "Welcome! You must be our new student, Itachi right? Well why you don't go sit with Sakura and Hinata." She said, pointing to the two.
He saw Sakura visibly stiffen as he sat down, Hinata just acknowledged him briefly before going back to talking to her now silent friend. Itachi watched the two quietly; Sakura kept her eyes focused on the wall behind him. Suddenly this sharp pain stabbed through his head, he doubled over grasping his head. She was there, her eyes sparkling and happy, she was laughing with him in his room; she was so real. When everything came back into focus he found himself laying on the ground with everyone around him, Sakura was there, her eyes felled with worry. But why? Why would she worry about someone she didn't know? "Who are you?" He rasped out.
"I'm going to get him some water; please everyone give him some room." The teacher said rushing away.
"Who are you?" He asked again, this time more forcibly.
Tears filled her eyes. "I can't tell you." She whispered before standing up and walking away just as the teacher came back in with a cup of water.
He watched her, the vision coming back painfully. She was important to him, but he didn't know why and it frustrated the hell out of him.

Sakura's POV

She sat, glued to her seat, he had recognized her! She could see it in his eyes. But how?! The voice said he wouldn't remember her, but that look...it was as if he knew her but he didn't. Maybe that's what the voice meant when it said 'fate isn't done with you yet' she sighed and watched Mrs. Cate give him a few sips of water from the glass. "Mrs. Cate may I go to the restroom?" She asked wanting to get away.
"Sure go ahead." Mrs. Cate replied absent mindlessly.
She walked quickly out of the room and down the hall, she couldn't handle how his eyes watched her. It was as if he knew she knew everything and wanted answers, but how could she tell him when it would hurt him? Maybe it was like some movies, he has to gain them back by himself by being at some of places that they shared together. She sighed, but how was she going to do that without telling why that place is important. She walked to the principles office instead of the bathroom. "May I use the phone, please?"
The secretary nodded. Sakura sat in a chair beside the phone and dialed her home phone. "Yes?" It was her mom.
"Mom can I leave school?" She asked.
"Are you sick?" Her voice was worried.
"No, I just need to get away for a while." She replied.
Her mom paused, and Sakura prayed she would say yes. "Fine, but I want you home before 6 ok?"
"Of course, Thanks!" Sakura said, relief filled her voice as she hung up.
She talked to the secretary and said she would tell her teachers that she was leaving; Sakura went to her locker and got her stuff and was out the door in a minute. She drove around town for a few minutes before coming to her favorite cafe, she sighed, at least it was away from him. And that's what she needed, to be away, maybe that would make the pain go away. She walked in found one of her favorite books and went to her favorite seat and started reading; she got so into the book that she didn't notice when he came through the door. She was startled when the seat across from her was pulled out and that he sat down in it, her eyes widened in shock. "Who are you? And why does it feel like I know you?" He asked calmly.
Sakura blinked a bit and sighed. "I don't know what you're talking about; I've never seen you before." She replied emotionlessly.
He growled and chill went down her spin; suddenly he grabbed the book out of her hand and slammed it on the table, getting a few strange looks. "Yes you do! I want answers; the way you looked at me today, you know my from somewhere." He said glaring at her.
She grimaced. "What if I told you I can't tell you?" She whispered, she could feel a small voice in the back of her mind telling her to be quiet.
He looked at her shocked. "Why wouldn't you be able tell me?! Is someone threatening you?" He asked.
She shook her head. "No, I just can't say, it's for the best. Trust me." She said standing gabbing the book and putting it back on the shelf.
She was getting ready to leave when he grabbed her hand and pulled her against him. "But it is important; I don't know what it is, but something is telling me that you are special to me. Please tell me." He said softly, pulling her closer.
Tears formed in her eyes as she allowed her head to rest against his shoulder, to just feel him close to her again before pulling away. "I know you want to know, but please try to figure it out on your own! I can't tell you and if I did all this would fall apart; please understand that I want to, but I can't." And with that she was out of the door and in her car driving home, leaving him standing there confused.

He didn't know what it was, but holding her in his arms felt so right. It was like they where supposed to be like that, but her little riddle left him more confused that before. How was he supposed to figure it out on his own if she wouldn't help? But she knew she was telling the truth, that pain was too strong in her eyes for her to be lying.
He sighed and sat down at the same seat as before, he put his head in his hand and tried to relax his tired brain. He didn't know what to think, was he going crazy? Or where there memories in him that he didn't know about and could unlock? Suddenly the aching pain returned and he closed his eyes and, it seemed like, he fell into another world.

Itachi's Mind

"What is it you desire?" A voice spoke gently.
He looked around but he couldn't see anything but blue. "My memories." He finally replied.
"Why?" It asked.
"Because then I'd know who Sakura is and why she is important to me." He said.
"Would you want time to be what it was before when you see you memories? Because not only will you destiny change but as will Sakuras'. Let me show what it was like before you make your choice." It said.
Suddenly Itachi got random visions of beatings from her father and mother, her running away, her getting stabbed...it was all horrific. "Did that really happen?" He gasped.
"Yes, but I changed it. Now Sakura's parents are back and they love her very much, something she had been wanting for a long time. Would you want to change that?" The voice asked again.
"No, I don't know why, but I want her to be happy. But, please, at least let me know why she is so important to me!" Itachi pleaded.
"As you wish." The voice whispered.
More visions came; this time of kisses and hugs, of feelings of immense love. Suddenly he felt that love for her in his heart. "I want this again." He whispered clutching his heart.
There was a soft sigh, like the a whisper in the wind. "Love is a confusing thing, and I can give it back to you, but you must give something up."
"What? What would you want from me in return?" He asked.
"Anything?"
"Anything." He replied.
Suddenly everything came back into focus. What had just happened?
