A/N: Yo. I've made this one a little longer.

Murderous Alliance

Sasuke was taking his normal stroll through town, images of Sakura suddenly flashing through his mind. It wasn't till recently that he started to miss all the little things that she did for him and he was beginning to wonder why he missed them at all.

The day seemed to be going smoothly and normal as any other day that he took his morning stroll; at least… until one by one many of the people that he knew started to migrate elsewhere. He wasn't really sure what was going on or why people were leaving, but he shrugged it off, it only gave him more time to himself.

A voice sounded from his left as he sat down on a bench in a lonely park. He didn't have to look up to know it was one of Sakura's friends… Or at least, sometimes they were… He wasn't completely sure what their relationship was, and frankly, he didn't care in the least. They were both annoying as he saw it.

"Sasuke! What are you doing sitting there by yourself? Didn't you hear?" Ino asked, flushed from running. Sasuke just looked at her skeptically, allowing her to continue. Not that he cared…

"Sakura's awoken!" She announced, taking a deep breath. "Everyone's going to see her now! You should come too. I'm sure she'd be glad to see you!" She suggested, sounding a little confused. Why was she telling him this again?

Sasuke froze upon her message. She's awake?

He hadn't really heard the rest of Ino's speech or heard that she was leaving and going to see him later. He didn't even know that she left. All he could think at the moment was…

She's awake… How long has she been awake…?

He would have to see her later. He just had too… He certainly didn't have to speak to her or let her see him. He just needed to see how she was doing. And it scared him a little.

It scared him a lot.

Sakura sat up in her hospital bed with flowers adorning her room and mountains of get-well gifts. She smiled as she read another letter from… she guessed was her friend.

Dear Forehead-girl,

Oh man, Sakura! It's been so long! Too long! We totally need to do something together later, when you're feeling up to it, okay? Give me a call!

Ino

Sakura… Everyone keeps calling me Sakura… She thought. Looking around her room once more.

The medical staff suggested that everyone leave Sakura alone for a while. She had just gotten up that morning and all of a sudden she's being suffocated by chocolates and friends. They thought she should rest for a bit and maybe settle down from all the excitement.

As she did this, everyone was happily chatting in the hospital cafeteria.

"Oh gosh, she looks so healthy! I'm so glad she's okay…" TenTen sighed with relief, and sat down with a tray of food in her hands. Hinata nodded delightfully and Ino scoffed.

"I bet she was just faking it. It'd be just like her. Wanting all the attention for herself." She said, with a bit of cockiness in her voice.

"Oh, I know you missed her as much as we all did," TenTen laughed, while Ino just looked away.

"She didn't say very much though… She hardly said anything…" Hinata said, quietly, staring at her plate of food.

"I noticed that too!" Naruto shouted, surprised that he wasn't the only one.

"She's probably just shocked or something…" Ino responded.

"Troublesome…" Was all Shikamaru could say.

"I am very glad that she is well!" Lee practically yelled, "I will do my duty to protect her from now on!" He said, with much enthusiasm and determination.

Most of the group just rolled their eyes.

Sasuke had started up walking again - lost in his own thoughts. A couple minutes later and he looked up and found himself face to face with the hospital. He sighed, stubbornly pouting as he forced himself in. No big deal right? He was just going in to say, "…" And get out. Simple! But when he saw the reception desk, he almost started to back out again. He stood his ground, though. She wasn't going to scare him away that easy!

"Haruno Sakura." He grunted to the reception desk-nurse. She responded by telling him where her room was and how to get there, having memorized it from telling so many people, already. He nodded, leaving with a sigh. And before he knew it. He was outside her door.

Knock - Knock

"Wh-who is it?" Sakura stuttered, startled by the unexpected knocking.

Sasuke entered without much difficulty and pulled up a seat. Her eyes followed his every move and he suddenly found it difficult to speak. Wasn't she going to say something? …Anything?

What she did say, however, made his eyes widen.

"Umm… Hello… Can I help you?" She smiled her most cutest smile, and Sasuke couldn't help but blush.

"How are you doing?" He grunted, looking at her suspiciously, and then quickly averting his gaze…

"I'm fine. How are you?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"You're acting strange." Now, he was beginning to get confused… Does she not recognize me?

"I'm alright, really!" She replied, smiling while waving her arms back and forth defensively.

…A few minutes past and still there was silence…

It was starting to get a little awkward with the two of them just sitting there. Sasuke was playing with the hem of his shirt, while Sakura played with the tip of one of the flowers she received.

That's it. Time to break silence.

"I hope you don't mind my asking, but…" Sakura started, Sasuke looked up to face her, "…who are you?"

He was taken aback. What…?

"You don't know who I am…?" He didn't know why, but he glared at her.

With a sheepish-grin, she shook her head. A sign that told him that she honestly didn't know who he was…

It took him a while to register… She doesn't know who I am…?

All of a sudden, Sasuke was flying up from his seat and leaving the room without another word.

"Had I said something to defend him?" Sakura asked herself, confused in her white lonely hospital room. She shrugged, picking up the next letter on her bedside table.

"This one looks funny…" She said as she opened it, completely forgetting the incident that had just recently took place.

I need to find a doctor… How hard did she hit her head? Why didn't they say that she had amnesia?

Sasuke picked up the pace and growled. Where's the damn doctor when you need them!

The gang were all headed to see Sakura again, just barely missing Sasuke. They couldn't wait. I guess not being able to see a dear friend for a month did that to people.

They entered to see Sakura laughing as she read one of the letters. They smiled at their comrade and they all took seats around her.

She waved to all of them, having seen them just moments before.

"Who's the card from?" Naruto asked, placing his hands behind his head in his usual manner.

"It's says Rock Lee… I don't know who he is, but he sure is funny!" She laughed again, putting the card down to lie in her lap.

They blinked… What?

Gee, everyone keeps thinking that today.

Lee felt a little offended, but he paid no mind. Maybe her injuries were more serious than they had all anticipated…

"Do you know who I am?" Ino asked, a little frightened to hear Sakura's next words.

"You're Ino." Sakura said as if it was obvious. Ino sighed with relief, in fact everyone sighed with relief… Maybe Sakura was just joking about Lee? Perhaps Lee is the only one she's forgotten?

They certainly wasn't expecting what she had to say next.

"I recognize you from the picture that you placed in your card," Sakura said innocently and showed them the said picture.

Hinata swooned and fainted, leaving Naruto to catch her. TenTen laughed.

"Real funny, Sakura," She giggled again, gaining the laughs of others, "You don't expect us to believe that you don't remember who we are anymore, do you?"

Sakura blinked.

"How can I remember people I've never met…?" She asked in all honesty.

"Seriously, Sakura. It's not funny anymore. Stop," Ino glared at her best friend/Rival.

"I don't understand…" Sakura mumbled, backing up in her bed as much as she could. Really, she didn't. Why were they interrogating her like this?

Naruto went off the handle, "Something's wrong with Sakura-chan!"

He shook her, "It's okay, Sakura-chan! I'm here!"

Without warning, Shikamaru took a swap at Naruto's head, making him stop shaking the poor girl, abruptly.

Sakura stared at him skeptically.

"Don't you know who we are, Sakura-chan? Do you even know who you are?" Naruto asked, rubbing the forming bump on his head.

"Of course, I do, silly. I am Sakura! And my mother's name is! …Her name is… Well, my father's name is! …Umm… I can't think of it right now. But I know who I am, I swear! I just… I can't think of it right now…" Sakura was beginning to panic. Why couldn't she remember!

"I also know that my favorite color is… it's… I…" Suddenly, Sakura felt a throb of pain erupt from her head, probably from pushing to hard to remember or maybe she was just thinking too much. Either way, it was excruciatingly painful. She groaned and rushed her arms to her head, trying to squeeze the aching pain away. "It hurts!" She screeched.

Sasuke finally arrived with the doctor and they began to run towards her room, what with all the screaming. When they got there, Sakura's friends were in a scramble! They were rushing around trying to find ways to help her. Was there anything that they could do! What's wrong with her head!

Sakura didn't seem to be the only one that was panicking…

"Everyone out!" The doctor shouted over the noise. Here, Sakura is screaming in pain and everyone's running around asking her questions. It was giving himself a headache. He was sure that Sakura just wanted to be left alone right now. It took a while, but everyone hesitantly did as the doctor told them… Of course! He would know what to do. He would know how to help her!

"I think you should wait outside with the rest of them," the doctor told Sasuke, who only nodded back.

Outside wasn't much better, Sasuke thought to himself as he watched everyone "freak-out".

"She better not be joking! I'm going to tear out her insides and sell them off to hungry dogs, if she is!" Ino yelled, shaking her fist angrily.

"I do not understand how this could happen… Does she have amnesia?" Lee asked himself and others nodded.

"So, does that mean she doesn't remember anything? She doesn't remember us?" TenTen asked, stroking Hinata's back, who had woken up moments before they were shuffled out and was now starting to cry.

Sasuke just stood there. Like he usually did. Just watching… observing… thinking… planning…

Being a man with few words, he simply walked out. Leaving everyone to stare behind him.

How could he be so calm at a time like this?

A/N: How was that? Yes, yes… Sakura has amnesia. How will she cope! Lol. Please review! I'd really like it if you could all tell me how I'm doing!
