Forgotten Love- Chapter One
Just a dream?

The night turned into day as the sun rose and shone onto Sakura's sleeping form. The beam crept across her face and woke her from her slumber. She slowly opened her eyes but squinted at the blinding sunlight as her eyes adjusted to the brightness. Sakura sat up and noticed the cloak on top of her.

"Huh?" Then flashbacks of last night filled mind. Her mind connected all the pieces and it all began to make sense. Her eyes widened in realization at the thought. "Sasuke-kun…" She whispered. 'So he let after all… my heart was not enough…' Tears began to fill her eyes, as she did not want to believe the reality. She looked down at the cloak clutched in her hand and began to search for the tag of which it belonged to even though it was pretty obvious. On the tag, she found the Uchiha fan embroidered there. Hope lit up in her eyes. 'He cared about me…and he left this cloak…' A determined look replaced her saddened face. 'I will hold on to it until the day he shall return…' "Please come back soon Sasuke-kun…" With those words she got up and walked home, with the cloak draped over her shoulders for comfort.

She took the day off training. She knew that Kakashi-sensei would've understood. Upon reaching her house she opened the door and headed straight for her room, ignoring her mother's worried questions about where she was last night. She locked the door behind her and leaned against it. Shutting her eyes tight, she tried to relieve her throbbing headache by massaging her temples. Whilst reaching up, she felt something slide shoulders. Turning around and looking down at the floor she saw the beige coloured cloak fall into a bundle. 'Oh! Sasuke's cloak!'

She quickly picked it up and held it close to her chest. 'This is the only thing I have left of him, and the memories of the times we've shared…' Her eyes began to fill with tears once again at the thought of him. He was gone and still Sakura continued to refuse the truth. She could not forget about him and the feeling of his missing presence just pained her even more.

'Stop crying girl! God, if you keep this up, your eyes will never dry! Let alone possibly drain your body of all of its fluids and you'll die of dehydration!' Inner Sakura scolded the weeping girl.

'But…'

' But what! He's not going to appear magically infront of you just because you are crying your eyes out!'

'I know-'

'If you know then stop this useless crying! Geez, and I thought that you was smart-'

'Hey! What's that supposed to mean!'

'It means that you are dumb.'

'Oi!'

'And stupid and useless and-'

'Ok! Ok! I get the point! I'm not crying anymore.'

Sakura slumped onto her bed, and buried her face in her pillow. She didn't care about the dirt on her dress or all the tangles and grease in her hair. All she needed now was rest. A nice long sleep, was all she wanted now, even though she already had one this morning. She shut her eyes and soon drifted off to sleep.


--(Sakura's dream)--

"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura called out as she ran towards Sasuke. All she could see was his back with the Uchiha fan imprinted on the black shirt he was wearing.

"Sasuke-kun! Chotto Matte!" She continued to run with a bright cheerful smile on her face. She caught up to him and wrapped her arms around him from behind. Her body pressed against his as she continued to hold him in an embrace.

"Sakura…"

"Hmm?"

He turned his head and looked at her over his shoulder. Sakura looked up to meet his gaze only to see the comma-like dots begin to swirl within his sharingan.

"Sasuke?" She breathed out in shock as she loosened her hold on the Uchiha. She took a step back and held her hands close to her chest. A spine tingling laugh began to fill the atmosphere. Sasuke turned around to look at the Sakura with fear written all over her. Sakura stared back in shock, only to find that this was not her Sasuke-kun looking straight at5 her. His eyes were still red, meaning that the sharingan was still activated. "Y-You're…not S-S-Sasuke-kun…"

He chuckled evilly.

"Foolish girl. How can you have mistaken me as my weak and pathetic brother?"

She stumbled back at his cold words. It was Itachi. He turned around and Sasuke's figure morphed into Itachi's black cloak, which symbolized his place in the Akatsuki. He began to walk towards the retreating Sakura, with the cloak swaying in motion behind him.

"If you are looking for him though, you do not need to look any further."

"W-What d-do you mean?" Sakura asked with wide eyes. He continued to advance towards her and Sakura continued to retreat. She tripped over something and fell over backwards.

"See for yourself." He responded as he towered over her form that was trembling in fear. With another swish of his cloak, he revealed another figure that lay sprawled on the floor beside him in a pool of blood. Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she recognized whom the figure was. It was Sasuke. Kunais and shuriken lay pierced through his body with blood still dripping off the ends. The huge wounds were still fresh and soaked the blue material he was wearing. His wrist looked dislocated and red liquid were continued to leak out from his bruised lips.

"S-S-Sasuke…? S-S-Sasuke-k-k-kun?" She breathed out in disbelief. Sakura began to crawl towards the figure. Her bottom lip quivered out of fear along with her shaking body. As she drew nearer tears began to well up in her eyes for the figure before her got clearer and the wounds appeared to be more and more severe. She reached out with a trembling hand wishing that this were all just an illusion. His face felt cold and icy beneath hers. With the other hand she stroked his hair and it felt sticky, due to being drenched with blood and sweat. Silent tears rolled off her cheeks and dripped onto his pale face.

"No…t-t-this can't b—"

"Oh but it is. You see, foolish little girl, he lost in our battle. The battle he has trained his whole life for. And, as you can see—"

He motioned towards the lifeless body on the floor.

"It was not enough. He did not have enough hate."

Sakura continued to stare at the wounded body.

"…S-S…Sasuke-kun!"

She broke into even more tears as she lifted his head gently off the floor.

"And now, enough of this useless talking. Since you want to see him so much, I'll be glad to send you to the same place I'd sent him." He spoke as he drew out his katana.

Sakura took a sharp intake of breath at his words. She tore her gaze away from her Sasuke-kun and looked into the blood-red eyes of Itachi. Fear could be seen in her eyes and within a blink of an eye; Itachi slashed his katana across her abdomen. The whole world blacked out around her.


Sakura woke up from her dream panting heavily. Her eyes were wide and beads of sweat trailed down her forehead along with the tears that were silently leaking out of her eyes. She looked around her surroundings, and then sighed in relief once she knew where she was.

'It was only a dream…'

She looked over to her bedside table to see the time- 4.35pm.

'OMG! I've slept for so long!' With that thought she jumped out of bed, grabbed some new clothes from her closet and headed towards the bathroom.

Once there she ran a bath for she decided to relax her body and take some thinking time. After undressing her self, she slipped into the bubbly formula toe first to test the temperature. Once satisfied, she lay there resting her head on the end and closed her eyes in thought.

'Great. First Sasuke leaves and now this nightmare.' She sighed. 'That dream was so weird…and scary…I hope that it won't come true…I wouldn't be able to bear it if I found out that Sasuke-kun was dead…'

'OMG girl! It's only been one day and you're already having nightmares about his death!'

'Its not like I wanted to have a dream about it'

'Yeah, well, what really confuses me is that his brother was there. I mean, you have no idea what his brother would've looked liked cause you've never seen him before, yet, you were able to have a clear image inside your dream.'

'Yeah, that's really weird.'

'Maybe that dream was trying to tell you something'

'What? That Sasuke-kun is… ...'

'I don't know. Heck, this is hurting my brain.'

'Hmm…'

Her eyes sprung open and she decided to finish her bath and grab something to eat. Come to think of it, she hasn't had anything since last night. She missed breakfast, lunch and was about to miss afternoon tea as well.

Sakura came out of the bathroom all clean and refreshed. She placed her dirt-covered dress in the wash and headed towards her room to put the bed sheets in as well.

Whilst ripping out the covers, she noticed a brown cloak sprawled on the floor at the foot of her bed. Upon remembered whose it was she abandoned her task and hung up the cloak in a nice corner in her closet. She smiled slightly before returning to her blank face as before and continuing her earlier task.


Once completed, she headed towards the kitchen to make something for that growling stomach of hers. On the fridge a note was attached that her mother had left there. This is what it said:

Sakura,

I've gone to work and won't be back until 2 days later. I've left some food in the freezer and you can just reheat and eat. When I get back I would like a full explanation about your whereabouts last night. But until then, take care of yourself!

Lots of love from

Your Mum.

After reading the note, Sakura let out a heavy sigh. She did not want to recall the events of last evening, they were too painful and she did not wish to relive it all over again. Even at the thought of the incident brought unwanted tears to her eyes. 'No…I have to be strong…No more useless crying…' She suppressed her tears and took a deep breath in hope to calm her emotions. She wiped her face using the sleeve of her shirt and continued to make her meal.

Afterwards, since she was the only person within the household, she decided to go out for a walk. She thought, maybe some fresh air would help her forget about her broken heart. Little did she know that someone was expecting her presence…
