I'm not sure if that made sense or not…but I hope it does…?And yeah…with the random thing with 'Dude' and Gaara? Yeah that was impulse sorry…
"And this place is really good for picnics too, the youth of Konoha will be in full bloom!" Lee stroke a pose and it was utterly embarrassing for the blonde and the red head. They made a sweat-drop.
"I'm gonna go find Hinata-chan now…" Naruto spoke as he made a bee-line away from Lee. "I'm…going…" Gaara moved off while Lee was still doing his dramatic pose. Then Gai joined them.
"LEE! THAT IS NOT THE WAY YOU DO THE POSE! IT'S LIKE THIS!" Gai shouted out as he made an even more ridiculous pose than Lee. "GAI-SENSEI! WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
"LEE!"
"GAI-SENSEI!"
Unfortunately, Gaara was there to see them…and now he was over run with lotsa sweat…eww. Poor Gaara. He tried to leave as fast as possible after that, wondering where he could find Sakura. He walked around the village in search of anything pink or even slightly pink, but never found her, unless you define her and pink as in a pink kimono, a pink shop (so pink…), a pink Sakura tree…where is Sakura? He sighed and decided to try Ichiraku Ramen but found only Hinata and Naruto…typical. Then he went over to her house but she wasn't there.
After that, as much as he didn't want to go, he had to go in order to find her. Ino's flower shop.
"You…" he spoke as he looked at her, unable to remember her name. "You…" she replied with a glare. "You…" he thought again, trying to think of her name…so familiar…
"Yes, me…I'm Ino in case you forgot…"
"Where's Sakura?"
"YOU LOST HER! FIRST YOU KIDNAPPED HER AND NOW YOU LOST HER? YOU'RE HORRIBLEEEEE!" oh the dramatics…when will it stop?
"Lee dragged me away from Sakura…I didn't lose her."
"Well too bad 'cause I have no idea where she would be." 'Not that I'm gonna tell you even if I knew…' she thought to herself with a smirk on her face.
'Thanks for nothing.' He sneered at her before he sighed and walked off again, in search for his pink haired shinobi. Just as he turned a corner, he nearly bumped into a white haired Jounin.
The one named Kakashi stopped and came forward at him. "Do you know where Sakura is?" he asked hoping to have a good enough answer for him. "No, I was looking for her." Kakashi cursed under his breath and ran off again, but Gaara followed him as well. "What's wrong? Is there something going on with Sakura? Is she hurt?" the red head asked but received no reply from the white haired Jounin.
"We have sources of a certain…Uchiha that kidnapped Sakura…" Kakashi spoke slowly as he eyed the sand-nin. "Sasuke…"
"No, not Sasuke, his brother…"
'No way!'
"Let's see…how my little brother will react to this…" Itachi smirked as he looked at her once more before leaving her behind, in the forest of doom.
"Let's see if he'll survive through this…by taking one more of his precious people…"
"Let's see if she'll survive through this…"
"TELL ME!" Gaara shouted at Kakashi who drew in a breath before speaking again, "Some people saw him go into the forest of doom but-" Kakashi was cut off when he saw that the red head had already left towards the forest of doom, faster than anticipated, even faster than Kakashi himself.
"Please Sakura, be ok. Please be ok." Gaara continued on with this mantra as he commanded his sand to take his form and find her. "Please be ok." He continued to dart from tree to tree frantically searching around for her, until he spotted something that shouldn't be associated with pink. Red blood.
He ran up to her, nothing but a bloody mess on the floor. "Sakura, can you hear me! Say something! Please, anything!" he held her tightly in his arms as he looked for signs to show that she was ok, but she was far from ok, anything but ok. He gingerly picked her up and ran to the hospital, tears flowing freely from his eyes, occasionally landing a drop on her face.
What he didn't notice was that, Itachi was watching them. "This has become interesting…" he smirked to himself, thinking of more ways to crack his brother and his new objective…Gaara of the Sand.
When he arrived to the hospital, the first thing he did was threaten their life if nobody came up to help them straight away, forgetting that Sakura would need them. She was rushed into the intensive care unit, trying to heal her wounds and using their medical techniques to revive her from her comatose state. Even Tsunade came in to see who was threatening all her medical-nins but dropped the subject when she spotted Sakura in critical condition.
"You, get him out now," she spoke as she gestured over to Gaara. Once he left she began again, "We have to do a blood transfer, she's lost too much." Tsunade spoke as she readied herself for the technique.
Leaving Gaara out in the blue, he could do nothing but wait and hope for the best. He dropped his gourd by his seat and stared at the door. What was actually an hour felt like eternity to Gaara, constantly pacing around the room and glancing over to the clock on the wall. Glaring daggers at people who disturbed him.
When Tsunade came out, she was slightly sweating for using a lot of her techniques. "She's fine but she's still asleep. We're gonna put her in room five-zero-two in a few minutes but you have to fill out this form for us, fill in as much as you can then return it to the nurse behind the desk." He took the clipboard offered to him and nodded curtly, trying to fill in the things he knew about her.
'Name? Haruno, Sakura.' He thought to himself as he scribbled it down and glanced at the clock again. 'Age? 14, same as me.'
'Gender…female…'
'Siblings? None…'
'Parents?' he didn't know how to answer that one so he left it blank. He knew that she had a mother but he didn't know the name. He got frustrated and was eager to see her, so he left the others blank and dropped it hastily on the desk without saying anything to the nurse. He picked up his gourd again and ran to her room.
'Five-zero-nine…five-zero-seven,' he glanced to his left. 'Five-zero-four…five-zero-two!' he stopped right in front of the door, taking a deep breath before opening it.
He looked inside and there she was, on life support. She was heavily bandaged and she was wearing an oxygen mask, one of her eyes was also covered. Her arms were wrapped in dressing and Gaara now more than anything wanted to find this Itachi and kill him for hurting her so much, he clenched his fists so hard it was shaking out of anger. 'DAMN IT! I SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT HER!' he shouted to himself in his head, blaming himself for this, for everything.
He slowly walked up to her bedside and took a stool, leaving his gourd by the door. He watched her, as she silently dreamt, silently slept.
Was she crying when that bastard hurt her? Is she in pain? Was she screaming? Did she call out for me?
He thought to himself as he continued to stare at her, her deep breaths and sometimes short.
Are you hurting right now? I'm sorry I wasn't there…
Gaara punished himself mentally for this happening.
I shouldn't have left you behind…I'm sorry…
By the end of the day, everyone she knew came to visit her, Ino dragged Gaara out and yelled at him constantly screaming at him, shouting, "WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP HER? WHY DID YOU LEAVE HER! WHY DIDN'T YOU KEEP AN EYE ON HER! YOU BASTARD! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Ino screamed out as she slapped Gaara on his face. Shikamaru had to hold her tight to keep her from hurting herself and him any further. When Naruto asked why his sand didn't come up, he & replied, "I deserved it…"
Even Sasuke himself showed up, they never exchanged a word or a glance during his visit, he simply looked at her with sorrowful eyes and left in search of Kakashi, hoping that he might know who did this.
She had been in a deep sleep, for everyday, for two weeks. After the first week, they took off her life support and checked twice a day not including the checks done by Tsunade herself. During that time, everybody visited at least once a day, even Sasuke came at least once a day. Ino came everyday to put new flowers in the vase. Daffodils filled with her wishes for Sakura to get better. Gaara never left the room, not once. He simply stared at her bandaged form, wishing everyday, hoping that she would open her eyes. He never took his eyes off her, in fear of losing her forever. He wanted to be the first person she sees when she wakes up.
She stirred in her sleep one day, and it had woken him from his reverie and made him jumped from his seat. Naruto had been there during that time, and if it weren't so serious, the blonde would've laughed his ass off.
The nurses had taken off most of the bandages but the ones that were wrapped up on her arms and legs were still there.
Then on that fateful day, when Sasuke, Kakashi and Naruto came by for a visit, she opened her eyes. Her first thought was, 'I hate hospitals…to god-damned white…' Nobody likes hospitals, nobody. Not unless they're sadistic people but we're getting off the subject…
"Sakura-chan! Are you ok?" Naruto asked as he looked at her intently, not wanting to touch her in case he broke her. "Hi Naruto…Hi Sasuke-kun!" she happily spoke his name which partly broke Gaara's heart but he didn't mind, she was awake. Slowly and painfully, she got up from her seat, Kakashi, Naruto and Gaara came to help her up but she flinched when the red head touched her. "What are you doing here?" she hissed at him. He was confused now and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Get out of my room, and leave me and Sasuke-kun alone." She sneered at him.
"Shit! She's got amnesia!" Kakashi concluded as he slapped his head. Gaara, not wanting to get Sakura all stressed out, he grabbed his gourd and let, staying outside until everything was explained to her. Kakashi gave an apologetic look as the sand-nin passed him. Once the door clicked into place, she spoke badly of Gaara even more.
"What the hell is that bastard doing here? Why the hell did he just touch me!" Sakura spoke as she rubbed the part where the said person had touched her, trying to get rid of his contact.
"Sakura, you don't remember?" Naruto asked as he gave her a concerned look.
"Of course I remember a guy like him, he tried to kill Sasuke-kun in that freakish demonic form of his. What a freak." Her reply made Naruto cringe and his concern look was taken over by one of pain and betrayal.
"Sakura, you don't understand." And with that the blonde left, leaving behind Kakashi and Sasuke to explain everything else. While outside the door, Gaara asked if she was ok.
"Yeah, she's fine, but she doesn't remember anything about you other than the fact that you tried to kill Sasuke once."
"But that was…over a year ago, like two years already!"
"I know, she's got amnesia I think, it's most likely anyway."
"How do we get it back?"
"Get what back?"
"Her memory! Everything!"
"We can't do anything about memory loss…" Tsunade spoke when she overheard their conversation. "There's nothing that can help you regain your memories, you have to remember it yourselves."
"She hates me! What do I do!" Gaara shouted as he grabbed Naruto's collar shaking him slightly. "Hey, calm down!" Naruto yelled out as he made Gaara loosen his grip.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to do anymore, what can I do!" he asked as he looked up at the Hokage.
"I can try but I won't guarantee anything." Tsunade spoke as she walked into the room. When she closed the door, the first thing Sakura asked was, "Who are you? You don't look familiar. Are you a new medical-nin?"
"I'm Tsunade…and I'm one of the legendary sennin…"
"Then you must be old…" she slapped at her mouth for saying something out loud, this earned her a glare from the blonde. 'Like Naruto…'
"You've forgotten at least two years of your memory…" she began, 'That means, she still loves me.' Sasuke thought to himself. "So we have to help you regain them back, especially about Gaara."
"That freak? I don't wanna know about him."
"You've been going out with him for a couple of months now dear…"
"A couple? You're joking! He's a psycho killer!" she screamed out and Naruto, Gaara heard her from outside the door, it broke his heart. "Hey Naruto, look after her for me…" and with that, he left, with his head down staring at the floor. Naruto watched helplessly at his friend looking so broken and he went back inside the room with an angry glare.
"Naruto, stop scaring people like that." Sakura spoke as she leered over at the blonde. "You didn't even give him a chance!" Naruto shouted at her and she retorted back. "Give who a chance! That freak! No way!" she scoffed at him and turned away. "You just don't understand Naruto."
"I understand more than anything. You broke his heart!" Naruto screamed at her. "I wasn't even in love with him!"
"You are! You were until that other 'freak'" he looked over at Sasuke, "came and gave you amnesia!"
"Don't you dare blame Sasuke-kun on this!"
"You hate Sasuke!"
"I did not!"
"Alright, SHUT UP!" it was surprising to hear Kakashi lose his cool instead of Tsunade. "Sakura, how old are you? And who do you really love?"
"What a stupid question…I'm twelve and I'm in love with Sasuke-kun…" she spoke with a blush on her face. Naruto scoffed.
"Scoff at me again and I'll punch you!" Sakura shouted at the blonde. "I would punch you back if I hadn't promised Gaara I'd look after you!"
"I never asked for your help! And why would Gaara care about me! He nearly killed me!"
"Alright, SHUT UP!" this time it was Tsunade instead. "Sakura, you're fourteen, not twelve, you're going out with Gaara and you're not in love with Sasuke." Kakashi spoke when everybody settled down.
"Che, whatever."
"Stop being so childish!" Tsunade yelled at her.
"You don't have the right to shut me up!"
"Watch your manners girl. I've had enough of your disobedience."
"Sakura, she's Hokage of the village. Godaime-sama." Kakashi spoke.
"Where's Sandaime?" she asked and everybody gave a sad look, not Sasuke.
"He's dead, he died two years ago, during Orochimaru's invasion."
"I don't remember that…" she spoke as she gave a confused look. "How much do you remember?" Kakashi asked.
"I remember being knocked into a tree and that's about it." She said. "I see…" he looked over at Sasuke and whispered into his ears. "You better not take advantage of this, you lost her already."
"I can get her back, this is my second chance." He replied back with a glare. Kakashi gave him a stern look before moving on. "We'll have to make you remember the things you forgot in these past two years…and that means meeting with Gaara."
"But I-" Sakura started but got cut off by Naruto. "No buts…you have to remember, or I'll have to make you remember forcefully."
'This is not the Naruto I know…what happened these past two years?'
Extra long…and it's so damn late…..like…..2 am in the freaking morning! Be happy I'm this dedicated to you…yawn!
