Gomen for not updating soon. School's coming up and maybe I won't be going to update more often. Please bare with me.
Remember Me?
first attempt: FAIL
Sakura was standing, or rather floating, in a seemingly endless dimension of what looked like liquid sky. As she looked down at her feet, she saw a girl with short cherry-blossom hair and vivid emerald eyes staring back at her. It was her reflection.
Kind to think of it, she still doesn't know who she was. Her name. Her parents. Everything. It was like being in a whole different world.
Her reflection sweetly smiled at her. Suddenly, people appeared behind her reflection; they were also grinning at her. There were three girls– one with blonde hair who has expertly applied make-up on her face, the other was a simple black-haired girl with lavender eyes, and the last was a tomboyish brunette with hair tied into two buns. They surrounded Sakura's reflection and giggled at each other.
Then one by one, guys appeared beside the girls respectively. The lazy -looking one with a pineapple –like head held the diva blonde so close while the timid dark-haired was carried bridal style by a cute blonde with whisker marks on his cheeks. The brunette wasn't very tomboyish at all when she was sexily ambushed by a long-haired guy with eyes like the timid girl's, from behind.
And now Sakura's replica was the only one left as the couples happily disappeared. Her duplicate sighed, knowing she was the only one with no partner. However, a figure of a guy slowly materialized. He came close to her and offered his hand, to her delight. The boy had black spiky hair and a gorgeous face. He was closing her to a kiss…
The real Sakura watched the romantic scene (to-be) from above. Who were they? The boy just then looked so familiar.
"The chicken-butt dude!"
But why he trying to kiss her (reflection)? She knew it! Pervert! (But there was no denying that a part of her wanted the scene to come true.)
Sakura quickly reached her hand lower but the scene disappeared just before she penetrated through the liquid. The fluid unexpectedly turned into glass, crackling beneath her.
The next thing she knew, she was screaming for her life, falling into the eternal dark depth…
***_oO0Oo_***
Sasuke could feel the movement beside him. Maybe Sakura just shifted her position. But now he could feel her sitting up suddenly. He tried to open his eyes only to see a sweating pinkette gazing back at him.
"D'you had a nightmare?" he asked.
She was still breathing fast, like she had just run in a marathon. "Y-yeah," she managed to say. "It was you…"
***_oO0Oo_***
Despite the shocking revelation and the morning argument of why they ended up sleeping together, they miraculously ate breakfast in peace.
"I TELL YOU, IF YOU EVER TRY TO PEAK…!"
"Yeah, yeah," The Uchiha said nonchalantly. "You'll kill me." Then Sakura slammed the bathroom door. One more blow and that door will be history. Sasuke sighed. Geez, she's still going on about him being a pervert.
He returned to the guess room to where he and Sakura slept. He saw her phone on top of the drawer. It won't hurt to peak a little. He browsed the messages full with gossips. Then he went to the Saved Messages only to find his first message to her.
From: Sasuke
Don't forget the materials tomorrow.
Thanks.
Sasuke remembered this. The message dated when they were still in middle school. Sakura offered to bring the needed materials for their group project. He still didn't trust her then. And now life's catching up with her not trusting him. He put down the phone and noticed a key beside it. This time, he'll make it right.
***_oO0Oo_***
After they took turns in the shower (which took ages for Sasuke's turn), Sasuke led Sakura to his car and started to drive.
"Where're we going?" she curiously asked.
"To your place. To see if you can remember something there."
The house was small, enough for a family of three. There was a garden in front with flowers blooming.
"C'mon." Sasuke opened the passenger door and offered Sakura his hand.
"Do I really live in this place?"
Sasuke didn't answer. To be honest, he only knew little about Sakura. She wasn't the kind of person who opens her life story to anybody. The only one who knew was her best friend Ino.
The two teens entered the house and walked around the living room with pictures hanging on its walls. Sasuke was hopefully glancing at Sakura when he caught sight of a framed photo on the center table: it was a picture of him, Sakura, and Naruto grinning when they were kids.
"Hey, what's tha– whoa! Was she supposed to be me? I looked soo cute!"
Before Sasuke could answer, the picture was snatched from his hands. He sweat dropped as Sakura goggled at her 'cute' self. It's as if she didn't even noticed Sasuke in the picture.
"Do you remember anything by that?" Sasuke snapped.
"Nope. Just the fact that I was so adorable!"
The Uchiha sighed.
***_oO0Oo_***
Sasuke waited impatiently as the phone in the Haruno's residence rang near his ears. Why isn't she picking up?
The Uchiha certainly had not mistaken that this 'she' is the school's official chatterbox or should mostly say "The Gossip Queen". 'She' knew most of the recent happenings (who's dating who is one of the things which she preferred as "gossip material"). 'She' would never spare a call or a message to shut up her curiosity, especially if the one contacting her was her bestfriend, Sakura Haruno.
Hello, Sasuke heard her usual girly accent. This is Ino. Sorry 'cause I'm unattended today. So do me a favor and just leave your message after the really cute beep.
BEEP.
Sasuke cursed as he forcibly put down the phone. Where in the world was that woman? Sasuke was desperate. The Sasuke Uchiha needed her. He didn't need anyone else before. This was the time to swallow his pride. He apparently doesn't care about himself anymore.
Meanwhile, Sakura just came out of her bedroom with a trolley. "Okay! I'm done packing!" the pink-haired announced. "There are so many things I thought I never had!"
That's because you don't know you had them, Sasuke mentally replied.
BLING.
Sakura rummaged in her pocket and got her phone. "Hey, you know who this is?" She gave him her phone and Sasuke read:
From: Ino-pig
Hey, forehead!
Some business came up and I'll be back in 2 days.
Hope you're well! Love ya! :D
Maybe Sasuke still cares about himself: with this amnesiac girl living with him and for him to look after, anything could happen to his life.
Constructive reviews are welcome! :DD
