Author's Notes: I suck at naming chapters but I do it anyway. I decided to make the whole gang involved with the blooming love story. When I look back at the chapters they seem somewhat out of order but yeah. I'll be making a revised version of it when I have the time and of course when I'm done. Thanks to UniqueWolfLover and ShyMoonlight for reviewing. Join my forum and on with the story.

Chapter ELEVEN - Pain and Broken Hinges
Kakashi walked slowly away from Ino. Fine, if things won't go my way. THEN I'll make it go my way.

"Okay Naruto, it's not working," Sasuke said as he walked to Naruto who was miles away from the pink-haired jounin sitting in the open grassy field.
"You think?" Naruto lifted his chin to show Sasuke his beat up face.
"Sssss...ouch, well...it was worth a try," Sasuke inched back from his hideous face.
Sasuke sat down and they both looked at Sakura from a distance. She looked like she was meditating. Her eyes were closed and hair went where the wind blew.
"Hey, you remember the guy we saw with her a few weeks ago?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke nodded, "yeah."
"You think she really likes him?"
"I don't know. But, I don't like him."
"Me either."
"Really? Because I was thinking she's be better off with Kakashi."
"Are you friggen serious!"
"Ino talked me into it. When you think about it, they are somewhat perfect for each other."
"He's old! AND he's perverted."
"Then, why don't you marry her."
"No!"
"And why not?" Naruto showed him his face, "Oh right."
"Well, I guess you're right, too."
"You saw him at the hospital...he's changed."
"Yeah..." the wind took another blow, "gee, it seems like you hang around Ino too much. What's up with you guys?"
"I dunno, she kinda makes me happy to see her."
"I'm glad for you, Sasuke," Naruto said nudging him in the rib.
"Yeah? Stop it, Naruto!" Sasuke said getting annoyed, "Okay, how about you? Seeing anybody?"
"Tch, me? I'm not ready to settle down with a woman yet. I'm all ramen and training to be a hokage," Naruto said with a grin.

Hmph...it's not working. Sakura thought as she soothed her sore fists. I wonder where Ino took Kakashi.
Sakura thought as she soothed her sore fists.She sighed and looked behind her. Naruto and Sasuke have been getting along with each other. I must have forgotten a lot. I don't even remember much about Ino. She was one of my first friends but that's all I can recall. Sakura felt her forehead. On the other hand, I don't know much about Kakashi as well.
It's almost sundown. I wonder when they'll come back.
"Okay, Sakura. One more," Sasuke confronted.
"One more, what?" Ino strolled closer with Kakashi walking behind her.
"Hey Ino," Sasuke greeted her scratching the back of his head.
"Kakashi!" Sakura yelled to get his attention.
The silver-haired man withdrew his eyes from the ground and looked at her. Maybe, Ino was right. He was shocked that Sakura was waiting for him. Why was she just sitting there in the middle of the field?
Ino held back and whispered something in Kakashi's ear, "see, I told you." Then she skipped to Sasuke and Naruto.
Kakashi was mixed with confusion and bewilderment. He didn't know what to do.
"Well, Kakashi. I remember you a little bit now," she smiled at him, "when we're supposed to steal those bells from you."
"Oh, well that's a long time ago," Kakashi said.
"I know. At least, now you don't seem like a stranger to me."
Well, you seem to get stranger everyday. Kakashi thought. He was feared that she did actually like him. The only problem is...she doesn't know she likes someone else. Ino wouldn't tell her and it seems she has brainwashed Sasuke as well. Naruto doesn't want to be involved with love just yet. He's still a little immature for that. The only one left that could tell her was himself. He didn't feel like telling her but he will have to sometime.

"Sakura..." Kakashi slowly started.
"Yeah..." She mimicked.
"Ino's throwing you a party in two days," he said.
"Really!" Sakura's eyes brightened with excitement.
"Yeah, she's inviting everyone you knew and I guess, it'll help you remember."
"You'll be there, right?" She asked a little worried.
Kakashi shoved his hands in his pockets as they walked back to his apartment, "I don't know."
"You should, I still don't know you that much."
He sighed. Ino expects me to be there. I really don't want to interfere with her progress. She really isn't progressing when she's falling in love. He looked at her side profile. I can't say no. "Alright, if it makes you happy."
"Yay!" She celebrated. He couldn't help but chuckle.

In the middle of the night, Sakura screamed as she woke up and remembered another detail of her lost life. She had a nightmare of Sasuke on the verge of death. She recited the Shinobi rules as she cried over his body.
Sakura knew for sure that she is starting to remember because she wanted to. However, she wanted to remember only certain things. There something pulling her back from remembering her recent past.
"Holy shit. What's going on?" Kakashi barged through the door.
"Kakashi...you broke the door..." Sakura said.
The door had fallen off of it's hinges almost broken in two on the floor. Sakura laughed a little. Kakashi stared at the door. I hated that door anyway.
"Anyway, what's with all the screaming?" Kakashi scratched his head.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's nothing, really." Sakura said embarrassed. He raised an eyebrow and shrugged as he started to walk away. "Wait...I can't sleep now."
"Why?" He turned around to face her.
"Because the door's broken. It needs to go to the hospital," she joked.
Kakashi chuckled, "well, what do you want me to do?"
She shrugged, " I dunno, could I bunk with you."
"There's another couch, I guess you could," he said groggily.
Sakura took the light blanket and pillow on the bed and trotted over to the living room. Kakashi already had lain down on the bigger couch, so Sakura walked over to the love seat.
"Why is this chair called a love seat anyway?" She randomly asked.
"Because there are two seats," he said trying to make it obvious.
"But what if two friends sat on this chair?" She made the conversation more weirder by the moment.
"Gee, I don't know. Why are you asking?"
"I don't know. I sometimes feel like I know someone but he SHOULD only be a friend."
Oh...could it be me she's talking about. "And you have to discuss it through a chair?"
Sakura laughed, "okay, forget what I said. Say something about me."
"Like what?" He said as he started panicking in his head.
"I dunno, anything," she looked at him as he put an arm under his head.
"Well," he said defeated, "you're hair is pink. It smells like strawberries..."
"Wait...how did you know that?" she sat up a little surprised.
Whoops...time to lie. "Because you used to talk so much about your shampoo when we were training." Yeah that's a good one.
"Because you used to talk so much about your shampoo when we were training.""Oh..." she bought it.
Kakashi smiled, "anyway, I don't really know what to say about you. You're just Sakura."
"I'm JUST Sakura?" she repeated.
"Yup, just Sakura..."
"Hmm...I guess I could live with that," she smiled, "...Kakashi?"
Kakashi thought he was off the hook, "yeah..."
Sakura thought it wasn't appropriate to ask what she was about to ask so she tucked herself in, "nevermind...goodnight."
"Goodnight, Sakura."
