Alrighty I do believe I have worked through my writers block. Yippie!!! PLEASE REVIEW. I am begging you guys. Reviews make me oh so happy and I was hoping to have like 50 reviews by the end of this fic(I'm thinking it will be about 10-15 chapters) but I don't think that will happen. It's ok though I know people are reading this so that's all that really matters! If you read this I'm sorry you had to hear me rant.

Bold is Inner-Sakura

Bold italics is Sakura talking to inner-Sakura

Chapter Four

For the second time in her memory Sakura climbedup the stairsto the Hokages office. Running her hand along the smooth rock wall she sighed. How many times had she climbed these stairs, how many more times would she look at things around her and feel nothing, nothing at all toward them? When if ever would things become normal? What was normal anyway, Sakura wished she knew the answers to all of her problems. Talking to Ino had helped Sakura to understand her life but just talking to some one would never bring back her memories. Sakura remembered how it had felt to look upon her team mates after she had come too again. How many more people would seem like strangers only to turn out to be her closest friends?

Resisting the urge to rip out her hair Sakura took a deep breath- and ran into Sasuke. He was standing in front of the door to Tsunade's office his hand raised to knock on the door. When Sakura crashed into him the impact sent him reeling forward landing with a thud against the door. Sakura-now that Sasuke was squashed against the door leaned against him. Shizune pulled the door open at that moment and the twogenin weresent sprawling across the floor.

"Sorry..." Sakura whispered only to receive a glare from the Uchiha

"Umm...Tsunade-sama isn't in right now. May I help you? Oh, Sakura! Hello, how are you? Do you need some thing?"

Yes I need some thing, my memory!!!

Shut up she doesn't know I lost it.

"Well actually when I was on a mission Ilost my-"

"She received a hit on the head and developed amnesia." Sasuke cut her off and Shizune put her hands to her mouth "She remembered your name so we thought you might be able to answer some questions."

That's funny. He makes it sound like it was his idea.

As long as we get some answers then I'll be happy. Sasuke can take all the credit he wants.

No way if we get our memory back ourselves then I think we should get the credit.

But he's showing us around...

Yeah well he can just go to-

"Sakura? Were you listening to me I asked you want you wanted to know."

"Oh, well you work for Tsunade right? And Tsunade is my teacher, I think, so can you tell me about her."

Smiling and nodding her head Shizune sat on the edge of Tsunades desk and began to talk, "I actually am also Tsunades apprentice but I act as her assistant too."

"Wait you're her apprentice?! But, but, but she's only like five years older than you!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Five years older than me? No, no. Tsunade-sama is around fifty, she just likes to look young." Shizune finished in a whisper.

"So then since we're both being trained by Tsunade do we train together?" Sakura still looked incredulous about Tsunade's age.

"No not often, I've been working with Tsunade-sama longer than you so I already know most of the things you're learning." Shizune didn't know how much longer that would be true though. Just the other day though she had seen Tsunade teaching Sakura a jutsu that she hadn't learned until she was seventeen, and Sakura was only fifteen. Yes Shizune was jealous of Sakura but she didn't hate her. It was more of a sibling rivalry type of thing, she saw Sakura as a threat to her progress.

"Thank you. We need to meet Naruto now." the first part of Sasuke's message was directed at Shizune the second at Sakura.

"Um ok. I'll see you around." Shizune open the door for them.

Walking- Sasuke said they were going to a place called Icharaku- Sakura decided to question Sasuke. This would be the perfect opportunity to learn about her team mates and teachers. Wait wasn't that a ninja-like thought? Maybe she was meant to be a kunoichi.

What's a kunoichi?

A female ninja. Hey wait-

CHAAAA! We are so getting our memory back!

Maybe but if we just keep getting bits and pieces like this we could be dead by the time we get all of them.

"Hey Sasuke?"

"Hn."

"What can you tell me about Naruto and Ka- Kaka- Kakashi?"She struggled to remember their names.

"Naruto's an idiot but he's always trying to prove himself."

"And Kakashi?" She prompted him. Jeez could this guy be any more tight lipped?

"Ask Naruto."

"Why can't you just tell me?" She persisted not noticing either the building looming ahead of them or the blonde boy approaching her.

"No, your annoying."

You take this one. And with that Sakura(or rather inner-Sakura) exploded "What have I done to you to be called annoying?! Maybe I did something in the past but I don't remember that! And have you forgotten whose fault that is?! And you obviously don't like me so here's some incentive to help me- if I don't get my memory back soon guess who's gonna have to help me?"

Taken abackSasuke blinked twice and replied "Yelling makes you even more annoying." That wasn't true though, the fact that Sakura had yelled at him was intriguing. If more girls acted normal around him instead of just being sickly sweet maybe he would like some of them.

Before Sakura could go off on another tirade Naruto bounded up to them. It seemed that he hadn't heard her yelling because he greeted both of them with his standard "Hello Sakura-chan!... and Sasuke."

Turning to him the pink haired kunoichiasked "Who are you?" as if she were meeting him for the first time(which to her knowledgeshe was). Naruto sweat dropped and Sasuke replied rather coldly for him,

"This is Naruto our team mate." and then to Naruto who was looking extremely confused "Sakura lost her memory while on a mission."

Naruto stood there for a moment as if waiting to be told that Sasuke had been kidding. After realizing that he wasn't and there was no way his raven haired team mate would "kid" anyway Naruto scrambled over to Sakura.

"Are you ok? What happened? Have you gone to see Obaa-chan yet? When will you get your memory back?"

Laughing she answered him "I'm fine. I hit my head on a rock. Who's Obaa-chan? And possibly never."

"Never? Don't you remember anything?" he gasped.

"Maybe some things." She sounded unsure of herself though.

Irritated(even though he knew he shouldn't be) that Sakura seemed to enjoy talking to Naruto and hadn't punched him yet Sasuke interrupted their conversation "We should get to the bridge Sakura, Kakashi should be there soon."

"Hey I'll come too. Maybe we could train! I'll quiz you to see how much you know when we get there ok Sakura-chan?" Naruto continued to walk with them. You shouldn't be annoyed Sasuke told himself, but he knew any way that he was.

At Ino's house

Sighing and washing the breakfast dishes Ino reflected back to the mission. Shikamaru had said that Sasuke had only saved Sakura because he was used to looking out for her but Ino wasn't so sure. Sakura had never shown signs of wanting to be friends with Ino after their fight over Sasuke even though Ino had tried to be friendly countless times. Eventually she had decided that Sakura didn't like her any more and stopped trying to be nice. But this new Sakura had seemed so sweet and innocent that Ino hadn't wanted to tell how heartless they had been to each other before. So instead she had lied and told Sakura that their bantering had mostly been for show.

A knocking on the door interrupted Ino's thoughts and she ran to see who was there. Opening it she was surprised to find Shikamaru standing there frowning.

"Hi Shikamaru! What are you doing here?" Ino did her best to sound cheerful.

"Asuma's taking us out to eat before we train today. Are you coming?"

"Oh I- I can't I have to work today." She did want to go but she was afraid that some one from her team would ask her if any thing was wrong and she would end up telling them the whole story.

"Ino it's Monday. You never work on Mondays. Your coming."

"Fine but only because I know it's not like you to actually order me to do something. Let me just get changed.

Faintly Ino heard Shikamaru murmur "How troublesome" as she walked to her room. When she had such good friends as these maybe she could find it in her heart to forgive Sakura.

Ok I tried to make this chapter a little longer. Please review! Not much else to say so just please review!!!
