A/N: Thanks for reading this far! Loving the reviews. ;) Sorry for how long it's been...Summer will be here in 4 days, and then I can update my stories more. :) Anywho, back to the story.
It's been three weeks. We moved our location twice, and both times Karin glared at Sakura's seemingly lifeless body in my arms. I just ignored her and continued on. So far we haven't had anyone from Konoha cross our path. For all we know, she was on a solo mission and hasn't been missed by anyone yet.
I've been trying to keep my mind off of her by training, but you can only go so far. I check on her every night when everyone else is sleeping. Every time she looks at peace, but I wonder if she really is. The nurse said that she is having normal brain waves again, and should awake any day. I want to be there when she awakes just to see if she does have amnesia. I want to see if she remembers the dobe and me.
Tobi has been watching me lately. He makes jokes whenever he sees me, so I try to avoid him as well. He probably knows that I visit her every night, but I don't care. She's just an old teammate.
I still feel the touch of something, only now it's more like flower petals gliding across my skin than butterflies. It's so soft and soothing. I imagine myself covered in petals from all kinds of flowers. Suddenly, I am in a steamy room, and I am, in fact, surrounded by flowers. I scoop up some into my hand and they disintegrate into water. I sink down into the pool of flowers, and almost like having the golden touch, each turns into liquid. I continue to sink until my head is all that's left in the open. I sit here for what feels like eternity.
I start to smell something, and it isn't sweet. I recognize it as rubbing alcohol, and my nose twitches. Out of nowhere, I feel something grab my waist, and I go deeper under the water. I try to scream but find my voice is lost yet again. Instead I swallow the scent of the alcohol. I try to squirm away, but I am still the loser. I look up and barely see the light being mirrored by the water. I close my eyes, finally giving up to the dark waters below, only to feel myself being brought back to the top. Whatever is around my waist releases me as my velocity speeds. I open my eyes, and breath in heavily. I can't see because it is pitch black around me, but I find my voice and scream.
It's midnight, and I am on my way to secretly visit the pinkette. I hear a shriek come from her room and immediately speed up. She's awake. I get to her door and throw it open, only to see her head in her hands and mouth quivering. Sweat is dripping from her broad forehead into her blanket, leaving salty residue. Without thinking I run over to her and start to yell for the nurse, only to see her on the other side of Sakura.
I sigh as she checks Sakura's pulse and brain waves. "Sakura Haruno, are you in pain?" Sakura blankly stares at her, then shakes her head no. "You are Sakura Haruno, right?" She again has a blank stare. "Uhm...y-yes." I nod. She knows her name. "And who are you?" The nurse introduces herself as Yuki, and then Sakura turns to me. "And you?" I stare at her for a moment. "You don't remember?" She frowns. "If I knew your name, I wouldn't have asked." I feel something in the pit of my stomach. She doesn't remember me. "Sasuke Uchiha." She grins. "Nice to meet you, Sasuke." I nod again.
"So where am I?" Before I could answer, Tobi wanders in. "You are in our underground lair. Don't you remember? I guess not, huh, Sasuke?" I ignore him. And get up from her bedside. "What do you mean?" She questions. "You really don't remember, do you?" Tobi laughs. She looks at me. "Tell me what the heck he means, Sasuke." I glare at Tobi. "Hehehe, you're part of our team, Sakura. You were training with Sasuke and you injured yourself. You've been in a coma for weeks. But you're back now." I can tell that Tobi is smiling behind his mask. Liar. Sakura stares at me. "And you let me injure myself? Great friend you are."
"Actually, 'boyfriend.'" I hear Suigetsu say from the doorway. I spin around and give him a death stare. I feel her eyes on me. "You're my boyfriend and you let this happen?" She jumps out of her bed and stands right in front of me. I'm a head taller than her, but she obviously doesn't care. She gives me an icy stare. "I'm tempted to break up with you, but I don't exactly remember how our relationship is normally. I'll give you a few days." She smirks. I know Tobi is waiting on me to play along into his scheme. "Hn. You won't."
"Have I ever told you that you're cute when you scowl?" She turns on her toes and goes back to the bed, not seeing my surprised expression. "Many times." I finally reply. I see Suigetsu chuckle in the corner of my eye. "I guess we will leave you two alone, Sasuke. Bye Sakura." He waves and leaves the doorway, with Tobi following behind. "I'm next door if you need me Sakura-chan." Yuki bows. "Thank you, glad to know since I have such a clumsy boyfriend." She chuckles as Yuki walks out.
She turns to me as I sit down at the end of her bed. "Since I can't remember anything, I have a lot of questions." I nod, knowing this was my time to decide on her fate.
Thanks for reading! :D I like it actually. Hehehe. Suigetsu is a butt to Sasuke. and so is Tobi. And Sakura apparently has a clumsy bf. Yaaay. Hahaha. PLEASE REVIEW.
