Chapter Two: Memory 

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke's eyes froze on Sakura's beautiful emerald eyes. His face softened and he had a sudden urge to hold her in his arms. However, he knew she would never forgive him so he put back up his emotionless barrier. Even if she did forgive him he did not feel worthy of her love.

Flash back of Christmas Eve, in 2002 (Sasuke was in his last year of junior high, he was only 15).

He remembered celebrating with his family happily. When the clock struck twelve, they began unwrapping presents. Until a hassle at the door interrupted them and in came a drunk Itachi. He smelt badly of sweat, alcohol and vomit. He did not even say hello before he asked for money.

"You, old hag, give me some money!" demanded Itachi.

"No," said Mr Uchiha as he slapped his son across the face.

"You dare hit me," said Itachi angry at his father's outburst. Without a warning, Itachi punched his father in the stomach. Mr Uchiha slumped down to his knees at the attack. In a moment, Mr Uchiha regained his strength and punched Itachi in the face.

"Why you, you want a fight? I'll give you a fight!" roared Itachi.

The two began fighting and blood came out of their mouths. Mrs Uchiha was screaming for them to break it off. She grabbed hold of her son from behind, around his waist. He flung her aside but regretted it as her head smashed into the television…

He stopped playing the image in his mind. He did not want to think back to what happened afterwards. His dark past haunted him and it was something that he was ashamed of. He did not want to tell her. He did not want to confide with her because he was scared she'd look at him differently. He chose to break up and leave behind a pleasant memory with her.

            He thought that they would never see each other again. Perhaps fate bought them back together as Sakura stood solidly in front of his eyes. He wanted to walk up to her and cup her cheeks but decided to sit down next to a blonde hair kid.

            "Who said you can sit next to me?" smirked Naruto.

            "Naruto-sama, that is not what I call welcome," expressed Miss Kurenai.

            "You think I want to sit next to you, it just happens this is the last seat," snickered Sasuke.

            Naruto wanted to make a fool of Sasuke but looks like it worked the other way around. His face turned a shade of red as Sasuke coolly sat down next to him. Sasuke flicked his hair and acted as if Naruto didn't exist. Naruto thought, 'you picked the wrong guy to mess around with.' The teacher left the room to get the new roll leaving the students to behave themselves.

            Naruto grinned and held Sasuke by the collar, "I'll teach your pretty face to…"

            Before he could finish, a crowd of girls separated them and Naruto was pushed back behind the crowd.

            "Sasuke-kun, what are your hobbies?"

            "Sasuke, you are the best looking guy I've ever seen!"

            "Can I be your friend, please?"

            "Sasuke, can I have your phone number?"

            Naruto looked across the room and spotted Sakura sitting all by herself. Sakura sighed, 'maybe Sasuke has forgotten her, maybe he has another girl-friend now'. Sakura didn't want to join the crowd as she still held her dignity. After all, Sakura vowed that she would forget about Sasuke. Sakura looked at the opposite direction not wanting to gawk at the crowd. Suddenly two hands covered her eyes…

            "Sasuke," cried Sakura as she turned her face.

            She slouched back as her eyes met two sea-blue ones. Her face became a crimson red as she realised how stupid she was. Sasuke saw Naruto advancing towards Sakura, 'how dare he touch her,' he thought. Without hesitation he pushed past the crowd to be by Sakura's side.

            "Your eyes are watery, are you ok?" asked Naruto, as he reached for her hands to soothe her.

            "Don't touch me, I'm fine thank you!" exclaimed Sakura.

            "How dare you touch her!" yelled Sasuke.

            "Why can't I?" asked Naruto as he reached for Sakura's hand again.

            His hand was soon stopped by Sasuke's violent grip.

            "Hey let go, that hurts!" shouted Naruto.

            "You'll be sorry if you touch my girlfriend again," snarled Sasuke.

            Sakura stared at Sasuke stunned at his threat; she shook her head and thought she must have misheard it all. The whole room went silent and Sakura felt goose bumps running up her arms as many girls glared at her with envy. Everyone went back to their seats as the teacher walked back in to mark the roll.

            When the bell rang for class everyone walked out. Sakura stood in front of Sasuke and was about to open her mouth but was greeted with a cold brush on the shoulder. 'Why does he have to be so distant?' thought Sakura as a tear slid down her cherry cheeks. She wiped it off quickly but Naruto had already seen it.

~*~

            A period before lunch, Naruto caught sight of Sakura. He wanted to remind her about her library detention with him, but held back when he heard Sakura's outburst. Sakura had just finished a biology lesson with Sasuke in her class. She stopped him in front of her to clear things up.

            "Why did you say I was your girlfriend?" asked Sakura.

            "I did? I meant ex-girlfriend," said Sasuke as he turned his head around.

            "Why do you care if Naruto touches me?" requested Sakura.

            "I don't care, I thought you needed help to get away from him," replied Sasuke.

            "Bull shit, if you don't care I don't want your help, ever again," declared Sakura.

            "Fine, if that's all, I need to go to class now," said Sasuke coldly.

            The pair walked off into different directions heading for their next class. When period three ended, Naruto headed off to his 90 min lunch detention at the library. Sakura never came but Naruto covered up for her by lying that she was absent from school. Anko remarked to Naruto that she better come tomorrow.

            About 2 minutes before the bell rang, Naruto decided to take a short cut. He went behind a building that not much people go to. He looked ahead and saw the back of a girl with long pink hair. As he got closer, he realised that Sakura was quietly sobbing by herself. Naruto handed his hanky to Sakura, but she was astounded to see him.

            "Here use this," said Naruto softly.

            "Is it clean? I don't want it," cried Sakura.

            "Yo, you look ugly, even I'm more prettier than you now," boasted Naruto.

            "Why you?" asked Sakura, she stopped crying and became a little angry.

            "Look, your make up is ruined," joked Naruto.

            "I don't use make-up!" exclaimed Sakura.

            "I know," replied Naruto.

            "You," said Sakura and a small smile escaped her lips as she hit a book on Naruto's arm. 

            "It's clean, just use it. You look like a mess for God's sake," scolded Naruto and added, "If you don't hurry, we'll be late for class."

            "ARGH!" screamed Sakura.

            "What's your problem now?" asked Naruto.

            "The library…" said Sakura but she was silenced by Naruto's finger.

            "It's ok, I covered up for you. Please go tomorrow or Miss Mitarashi-san might get suspicious," assured Naruto.

            "You… Thank you, I will!" said Sakura with a blush.

            Sakura returned to her original composure and Naruto held her hands to guide her to class.

            "Let's go to class, I believe we have the same subject," said Naruto getting excited to attend his art class.

            "We do? How would you know?" asked Sakura.

            "I asked your friend, Hyuga Hinata about you," blushed Naruto.

            As they were passing a room, they did not realise Sasuke's icy cold stare. He held his hands in a tight fist and a lump of saliva stuck in his throat.
