"No mom…three more minutes…"

"Three minutes my ass. You're supposed to be watching over your patient, Miss Haruno."

"…stop…more sleep…"

(sigh)"Dammit…fine…we'll do it the hard way…" (clears throat) "…HARUNO!!"

The pink haired nurse shot up like a rocket and smacked her head against a certain raven haired man. The female yelped in surprise as the male cursed under his breath.

"Jesus Christ, your forehead should be classified as a weapon."

"…how long was I out?"

"Almost an hour."

Haruno fell back onto the clumpy bed and closed her eyes, thinking back on what happened before she fainted. I was talking to Teme…he was telling me something important…his brother…his parents…and something else…

OH FOR THE LOVE OF CAKE, TEME'S REAL NAME IS SASUKE UCHIHA! SASUKE UCHIHA YA HEARD?! YOUR CHILDHOOD FRIEND FROM LIKE 10 YEARS AGO! DUMBASS!

Sakura's eyes widened as she felt the sudden shock of the memory hit her full blast. Sasuke Uchiha…Sasuke Uchiha…Sasuke Uchiha…

"Oh…my…fuckin…gawd…"

"What?"

"You…you're Sasuke Uchiha…from the Uchiha clan…"

"hn."

"Do you remember anything else…anyone else?"

The male hesitated, as if unsure of his memory or not wanting to tell Sakura the truth. Patiently, the green eyed nurse waited, giving her patient all of her attention. Her widened eyes slightly freaked him out.

"No."

"What about the girl's name? Do you remember that?"

"No." The only characteristics that Sasuke knew of this pink haired child from his past were the things that he had already confessed to his nurse. She had such deep green eyes…beautiful green eyes…

"So…what else do you remember?"

The Uchiha blinked. Though his memories were coming back quickly and—most of them—clearly, little of the flashbacks had seriously important information. Actually, the only fact Sasuke Uchiha was sure about was that his name was indeed Sasuke Uchiha.

"Nothing."

"I see…can you…just wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

Without waiting for an answer, Haruno dashed out of the recovery room. Though there were hundreds of people that worked in the same building as this nurse—and many were very good friends of hers—Sakura could only confide in one person about this. And it wasn't Ino or Hinata.

Gracefully squeezing in between the clusters of patients and employees, Haruno made her way up two flights of stairs, down 5 hallways, and into a small corridor, where she stopped in front of a large white door. Ignoring the 'DO NOT DISTURB OR I'LL KICK YOUR PRISSY ASS' sign hanging ominously below the doorknob, the nurse rushed into her boss's office.

"No I don't want the white sake from the southern country…I don't give a shit whether or not its high in calories…no I already said…GIVE ME THE SAKE OR I'LL—"

"Tsunade-san?"

"—GO TO HELL!" (slams phone)"—what's with the white face Sakura?"

"I-I…it's like…well he…"

"Spit it out."

"…Sasuke remembered his name and I am so frickin scared cause I know him from when I was a little kid and he was my best friend and I used to have a major crush on him but he was always being chased by a bunch of fangirls so I was always afraid he might hate me if I was like them and then I had to move and this is the first time I've seen him in nearly a decade and I have this funny feeling inside my stomach but he doesn't remember anything about me and I don't know what to do so should I tell him I knew him or should I leave him to remember by himself or what?"

"…Even though you were just talking at ninety miles per hour into the little crack in the floor under your feet my super Tsunade powers allowed me to catch some of what you said. So…your patient's name is Sasuke huh?"

"Sasuke Uchiha."

"Damn. The prissy, almighty, rich family. You've got yourself a handful there kid."

"He doesn't remember much else about anything. Should I…"

The buxom women stopped her employee's sentence with a wave of her hand.

"No. In order for his recovery to be a full success we cannot endanger his mind and tell him about his past—since I'm guessing you used to be acquainted with him. He has to remember every detail of his life by himself, with no help from strangers. You are allowed to bring mementos that might speed up the process but do not risk damaging his mind."

"Yes Tsunade-sama."

"Alright. Haruno, you are excused."

The green eyed nurse stepped out into the hallway. Her pale hands were about to close the door to her employer's office, when Tsunade's voice rang out.

"By the way, if I were you, I wouldn't risk telling anyone else your patients true identity. Women can get aggressive when it comes to men…and they're downright vicious when it comes to the male population of the Uchihas."

"Yeah, I know."

Though Sakura was a bit of a clumsy ditz sometimes, she knew better than to throw away her sensei's advice. When Tsunade was serious about something, she knew what she was talking about. So if the old lady said that it was better to let Sasuke regain his memories by himself, then Sakura would not let out a peep. If Tsunade said not to tell anyone about her patient's true identity, then Sakura would not tell anyone. Especially anyone from the female population.

Haruno's mind was still wandering around somewhere above her head when she entered her patient's room. The raven haired man turned around at the sound of her footsteps and waited for the nurse to speak.

"…hey."

"Hm? Oh. Hi."

"That took a while."

"Yeah."

"What were you doing?"

"I had to ask something."

"…hn."

Sasuke…I can't believe this is really Sasuke…taking advantage of her patient's lack of ability to see, Sakura stared, as if hypnotized, at the bandaged up face. Ever square inch of his mysterious features were covered with dirty bandages. The only parts of his face that Sakura knew about were the color of his eyes. Without bandages or glasses obscuring them, Sakura had a perfect view. His eyes were elegantly shaped, with long, midnight black eyelashes casting shadows over his bandaged skin. The pupils were onyx, and had a slight cold and harshness to them that made the female want to curl up in a tight ball. The eyes she remembered from her childhood had been warm and soft, and filled with emotion…at least when he had looked at her. When other people were around…they were like glass shards, sharp enough to pierce through skin…

"What are you doing?"

The pink haired nurse startled. He was staring in her direction, as if a sixth sense had warned him of her eyes' inspection.

"N-nothing!"

"Didn't you say I was getting some bandages off today?"

"…Shit! I completely forgot!"

The pink haired nurse dashed out the front door, leaving an annoyed Uchiha alone in his room. The silence was comforting to the man. His thoughts wandered about in his head, filling his mind with familiar feelings…but no memories. The tired male closed his eyes, drifting into the memorable senses of his mind. He'd rest his eyes for a bit…just a short while…

-Flashback-

"Oy, Sasuke!"

"hn."

"Don't 'hn' me! That's all you ever say to other girls! I want a real responseUchiha!"

"…what?"

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT!!" So cute…that pink haired girl looked eyen more adorable when she was angry…

"…aa."

"FRICKIN SASUKE UCHIHA, GIVE ME BACK MY TEDDY OR I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"

"Teddy?"

His winsome smirk enraged the girl even more. Her ears turned a dangerous color of violet while her pale face flushed with color.

"Yes, my Teddy bear. Hand it over Uchiha!"

"Hm…no."

"…SSSAAAASSSSUUUUKKKKEEEEE!!"

Furious, the little girl tackled her best friend, not wanting to hit him, but wishing he'd hand over her stuffed bear already. That brown animal meant so much to her. It had been her 7th birthday present…from him…

"OWW…what the…stop it that hurts…stop—"

The green eyed fairy was tickling her dark prince to death. If she can't get her bear by force…then she'll giggle it out of him.

"No…stop…Sakura!"

"Give me my Teddy Uchiha."

"No…I don't have it…"

She tickled him harder. His face turned purple.

"OKAY! I give…up! Just…stop tickling me…"

Smiling with triumph, Sakura stood up and held out her hand to pull the enemy up. Smirking, the raven haired boy grabbed her arm…and yanked the surprised girl to the floor.

The next few hours were filled with giggles and tickle fights. Sasuke could have sworn he had never laughed that much in his life. She was so happy…so adorable…his happy-go-lucky Forehead Girl.

Hours later, as the setting sun sent shatters of soft color across the sky, the two children sat still, side by side, in silence.

"Oy, Sasuke?"

"hn? What do you want now?"

The smile she sent him filled her deep green eyes.

"I'm happy you're my friend."

"…aa."

"…and thank you for giving back my bear."

"…whatever."

"…Sasuke?"

"hn?"

Her white teeth glistened with the fading sunlight. A cool breeze swept up her windblown hair, and curled around her dimpled face. At that moment…she was all he could think about…but his child brain didn't know why.

"I love you!"

End flashback.

SLAM!

"OY! SASUKE, I'M BACK!! AND I GOT NEW BANDAGES FOR YOU TOO! And guess what part of your body we get to check up on today!"

Her over-bright, too cheerful voice sent the Uchiha into a suspicious mood. His dark eyes narrowed on her panicky ones.

"…what?"

"W-WE GET TO UNCOVER YOUR GROIN!!"
