"Who are you?" repeated Sasuke.

"I'm Sakura, don't you remember me?" I cried.

"No," stated Sasuke.

I was going to tell him that I was his fiancée but decided against that. If he regretted proposing to me now I would truly break apart. I could tell Sasuke was tired because he shifted back to a lying position. My eyes were getting teary as he said softly with his back to me, "My head hurts, please leave me alone…"

I walked slowly out the door with my head down along with a very upset expression plastered onto my face. A strong hand grabbed my hand to steady me from falling. I looked up to see the blond haired man who was speechless.

Suddenly his lips opened and uttered, "Is he your husband?"

I wiped a tear from rolling down my cheeks and nodded. "Thanks for driving me here but you can go now," I said coldly.

"I can take you-" trailed Naruto before I interrupted, "I want to be alone…"

I brushed past his shoulders and headed for the office of Sasuke's doctor. For a second I thought he would follow me but I did not hear any footsteps. I continued my way to the office and knocked the door twice.

"Come in," welcomed a voice.

"Hi, Dr. Yakushi," I said.

"How can I help you, Sakura?" asked Kabuto.

"It's about Sasuke, he doesn't remember me…" I explained.

A minute silence past before Kabuto answered, "I think he may have amnesia which is very common to coma patients."

"When will he get his memory back," I asked.

"It's hard to say as the brain is a very complicated organ. It could be days, weeks, months, years or even forever…"

I gasped and demanded, "Is there any medicine that can speed up the process?"

"No, I'm afraid memory is a natural phenomena," answered Kabuto and added, "I'm really sorry but if there's nothing else I must go and attend a patient of mine. You can come back with things that belong to Sasuke, perhaps they can stir up his memory…"

"Thank you," I replied and began to leave.

I took a taxi back to the hotel and strolled solemnly through the doors. I decided to go to the top of the building. As I headed to the lift I passed the glass windows of the restaurant. There I saw the blond haired man sipping his Champaign with a beautiful girl next to him. I sighed and wished Sasuke would take me to dinner when he recovers.

Naruto did not know how to comfort Sakura so he decided to leave her alone. Why should he care for her? He had hardly known her and plus he never cared for girls. They get glued to him and not the other way around. Yes, he was a player and when he got bored with a girl… That was the end of it; he would never ask her out again.

In fact, Naruto had never admitted his love for a girl or committed to a long-term relationship. His string of dates was just a casual fling. When he came out of the hospital, the hot girl he had met in the morning phoned him.

"Naruto-dear, do you want to eat dinner with me?" she cooed.

Naruto shivered and replied, "Sure!" It was only because he had not eaten anything for lunch and was feeling very hungry. He continued, "I'll meet you at the restaurant in the hotel, bye."

He spotted the overdressed tramp immediately when he got there. She was wearing a very low V shaped dress along with very high slits on the sides. Normally, big-busted woman with long legs would have turned him on. But tonight, his mind was only with Sakura…

After he had ordered and was sipping his Champaign; he looked off to the distance and saw a girl with long pink hair. "Excuse me for a minute. I want to go get something," said Naruto before rushing off to find Sakura.

He caught her entering a lift and watched the numbers display the last floor of the hotel. 'Does she want to suicide?' thought Naruto nervously before entering the next lift. 'Please God don't let her do anything stupid. She is too pretty and young to die!' he prayed.

When Sakura reached the top she took a deep breath and breathed out. She looked up to the stars while a smile crept back on her face. She stretched out her arms to the side and turned around. Then she climbed up to the edge of the wall and sat at her favourite spot.

She let out her long silky pink hair from her ponytail and felt the breeze blow her hair. As she gazed at the three quarter moon a frown replaced her smile. She remembered how Sasuke had once said, 'See the moon it's smiling at us.' A tear slowly slid down her face before a voice yelled, "Don't!"

"Huh?" she said turning her head.

There in front of her was Naruto panting, "Don't do anything stupid! He's not worth it!"

"Eh?" she replied before all her worries turned into a mischievous grin. She pushed off the wall and jumped downwards.

Naruto's heart felt like it had stopped beating as he watched the last of the pink hair disappear. He walked slowly to the edge and closed his eyes. He built up his courage and opened them slowly…

"BOO!" laughed Sakura from the second rooftop, which was two meters lower than the first.

Rather than replying Naruto just smiled from the relief that Sakura was still alive. He walked slowly back to the lift while grinning sheepishly, 'I'll make you pay for scaring me like that.'

A while after Sakura had left, Sasuke sat back up to stare at his reflection from the window. He tried to remember the cheerful girl that had hugged him earlier. But try as he might he had no recollections of her.

'Who was she? A friend?' he thought before his childhood memories of Ino flooded back into his mind. It must be frightening for Sasuke because the only person he could remember was Ino…

He wanted to see Ino again because she made him feel safe. The pink haired girl on the other hand seemed like a distant stranger to him. Suddenly the door opened and in came Ino holding a dinner tray.

"Dinner's ready!" cheered Ino and added, "It must be so exciting to be able to eat again!"

"Eh?" laughed Sasuke before realising that he hadn't eaten for who knows how long. Out of nowhere a new thought came into his mind, 'what had happened to him? How come he ended in a coma?'

"Ino, why did I end up in a coma?" asked Sasuke.

"I don't know," replied Ino and added, "I haven't seen you since yesterday. What I do know is that if you don't eat your dinner soon it'll get cold."

"Ok…" answered Sasuke before taking a bite and lied, "It's nice."

"That's good! I better go now cos I'm on my shift. I'll see you tomorrow," said Ino.

"Bye," replied Sasuke.

After Ino had left, Sasuke moved the food aside because it wasn't nice. He had lost his appetite because there was too much going on in his head. The thing that worried him the most was his legs. He stared expressionlessly at his unmoving limbs and wondered if he could walk again.

The doctor had told him there was no serious damage to his legs. And he could probably walk again after some obstacle courses. However, the process of learning to walk again may be slow and depressing.

Sasuke gave a soft sigh and thought, 'At least I can walk again.'

The next day Sakura got out of bed slightly earlier than usual. She combed her hair before tying it with a blue ribbon. She put on a little bit of makeup to give her face some colour before slipping on her favourite coat.

When she got her bike ready and began to head off a car beeped her. "Hey Sakura," yelled a voice from behind.

"Hi Omg…" trailed Sakura.

"You can call me Naruto," said Naruto.

"Hi Naruto, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you're going to stalk me," teased Sakura.

"What's wrong with that?" joked along Naruto and then revealed, "I'm going to play squash with a friend."

"Ok, I'll see you around then, bye," chatted Sakura.

When Sakura got to the hospital she bought some flowers and headed off to room 101. On her way she met Dr. Yakushi and he redirected Sakura to the obstacle room. She skipped happily to the big room before her eyes landed on…

Sasuke was on his wheel chair before Ino helped him on a special chair. The interaction led to their faces meeting closely. In the few seconds of gazing into each other's eyes, Sasuke moved his lips forward to kiss Ino.

Meanwhile, Sakura had silently witnessed this before opening her mouth to let out a yelp. She dropped the flowers and ran outside the hospital. She found a bench and sat sobbing quietly to herself. She looked up to the sky and recalled Sasuke saying, 'I will never like another girl, I promise…'

"Why did you kiss her?" asked Sakura.

A/N: Aww… will anyone hug our poor Sakura? I'm just writing for fun and you might not ever see another update =^.^=
