Hello readers! I'm sorry for making you wait! Lots of school work, family problems, friend problems and medical problems have been stalling my writing…when it rains it pours, yes? Indeed. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter! I don't think it's going to be much longer before I finish this story. So! Have fun reading!

Sasuke POV

Flashback.

"Sasuke, there is something you need to know about this procedure before we begin." Tsunade said before I could make my way down the entire hallway to the exit. I stopped and turned around, already dreading what she was going to say. "There are a few ways it could turn out. There is a 90% chance that she will forget all about the incident and the vision as well, making all her scary scenes go away. A 6% chance she'll forget all about you entirely, and a 4% she'll fall asleep and never wake up. Are you okay with these circumstances?" I was frozen on the spot; I could feel the cold sweat drop down my neck, but nonetheless I nodded.

"If it means she'll most likely be okay in the end. My life has no meaning anymore…unless I have her in it." She nodded, and we both went our separate ways.

End Flashback.

That was a few days ago. I now sit in the waiting room of Konoha Hospital. Tsunade had asked me to come in today, to see Sakura. Something sounded off in her voice, but I wasn't quite sure what it was. It didn't bother me to the point where I had to know, so I dropped it. I drummed my fingers on the table beside me as I checked my watch. I'd been here for a good hour and a half. Really, how long was this woman going to make me wait?! I looked up to see her standing by the front desk, looking at me with a weird look in her eyes.

"Well? Where is she?" I asked, rushing toward her.

"Room 204. But Sasuke, there's something you should know." Her voice faded as I moved quickly to find her room number, my hear pounding all the while. I was finally going to see her. After worrying endlessly for days, I was going to see her and she was going to be okay. Finally! Room 204! I tried not to be reckless and noisy as I opened the door.

"Sakura?" I said, cautiously walking in the room. The window was open, and the breeze was nice and cool, blowing her hair gently. She looked over to me and blinked a few times. Relief flooded through me as I walked to her bed, and crouched down by her. "I'm so glad you're–"

"Who are you?" She said monotonously. The horror of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. I just stared for a moment, before trying again.

"You don't remember? My name is Sasuke. I've known you for a long time." She put her finger to the side of her mouth and looked up, as if she were thinking.

"No, I don't remember a Sasuke. Tsunade has been trying to get me to remember for the past few hours. I remember Naruto, Hinata, Kakashi, Gaara, and a lot of other people, but I have no recollection of a Sasuke." She looked down back at me, with those beautiful green eyes of hers. "I guess that's you, right? Were you someone important to me?" I closed my eyes, as it suddenly started to rain, lightening and thunder outside. She made a fuss and quickly closed the window.

"Oh, good, you closed the window before you both got wet." Tsunade said casually as she walked in. I looked at her, horror-struck, so Sakura couldn't see. "Let me take Sasuke away from you for just a moment, okay?" She said, smiling to Sakura as I stood up. We walked out into the hallway. I started to shake with rage and overwhelming sadness. "I tried to warn you…I'm so sorry." Tsunade said quietly.

"I'll be fine." I mumbled half-heartedly. "Tell her I'll visit tomorrow, okay?" She nodded, and I made my way out of the hospital. And just stared into the rain.

SAKURA POV

I watched as the man named Sasuke walked outside into the rain, only turning around when Tsunade came in to talk to me.

"Tsunade? Who was Sasuke to me?" I asked. She sat down and sighed, putting her hand to the bridge of her nose.

"What? Please tell me! I could tell by the look in his eyes…he was very important to me, right? I just…can't remember!" I shouted. "I want so much to remember, Tsunade! Why can't I?" She came to comfort me, putting her arms around my shoulders and rocking me back and forth.

"He was your lover. You loved him very, very, much. I'm sure he still does." She said, and I looked back outside where he was soaking wet by now. I looked very closely. I saw the rain mixed with his tears, and let a few of my own fall down my face. I sniffed and let a small smile onto my lips.

"I guess I'll just need to fall back in love with him then." Tsunade pulled away and smiled at me.

"That's my girl. Always positive."
