So…it literally has been forever since I've updated. D: And I'm so sorry about it. I guess chapter stories aren't my thing. I'll finish up here and then you won't have to wait any longer! Sorry everyone! 3

Sakura POV

"Bye Tsunade! Thanks for everything!" I called out as I skipped from the hospital. Today was the resume of my current life and a start of a new one. With Sasuke. I loved him once, right? Then surely, I could do it again. But where to start…As I walked around the village, I stopped by the Ichiraku Ramen stand, where, of course, I spotted Naruto and Hinata. Perfect! Just maybe I can get some information out of them. "Hey guys!" I called out cheerfully as I sat next to Hinata.

"Oh, Sakura! How are you, now? I heard the surgery was a success!" Hinata exclaimed. I smiled and laughed. Naruto smiled along with us, but eyed me warily. And with good reason, too. He is Sasuke's best friend. I'm sure he knows about my situation.

"I'm just fine, actually! Tsunade said I made a full recovery. Except for one thing…" I said, looking down." It didn't take long for her to inquire. "You see, I don't know who this Sasuke person is to me. Tsunade told me he was my lover. And of course I believe her. By the look on his face when he came to see me yesterday…that tells me it's true, too. So I've come to the conclusion: I fell for him once, didn't I? I definitely can do it again. But I don't know where to start. I thought since you two were some of my closest friends…you could help me out?" I pleaded, looking up and giving them both doe eyes. Hinata just looked at Naruto for a moment in fright, and he just nodded.

"Oh, Sakura, I'm so sorry. Of course we'll help you!" She turned to her ever-so-lovely boyfriend, who happened to have ramen shoved in his face, and elbowed him in the ribs. "Right, Naruto!" He coughed for a few seconds before managing a reply.

"Yes. Sasuke's my best friend, and you meant, wait, you mean the world to him. I'm sure he'd do anything to get you back. But, Hinata, was that really necessary?" He whined. She gave him a no-nonsense look, and he playfully kissed her cheek. I gave a rueful smile. It's time to get my life back in order. And I mean all of it.

"So…where do we start?"

Sasuke POV

I knew this could happen. Goddamn it, I should have prepared myself. This is unacceptable; I've got to keep my spirits up. She's not gone forever…she just doesn't know who I am. I sighed, and rolled over. I've been lying in bed for a few days, moping and thinking about what I should do. I sighed again, not being able to think of anything worth trying, when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID. Ugh, what could Naruto possibly want?

"What do you want, idiot?" I said harshly. I wasn't in the mood for playing games.

"A little rough, there, don'tcha think?" He said, chuckling. I rolled my eyes.

"Just get to the point please?"

"Sakura wants to see you. We're making dinner tonight. Cheer up, and be your usual self." I could tell he walked into another room since the voices in the background died down. "She wants to love you again." I heard a click, signaling the end of the call. I looked at my phone for a moment, and smiled. If Sakura can keep her head up, then so can I.

Sakura POV

"Are you sure this looks okay?" I asked Hinata, a little worried. She just smiled at me.

"Of course, Sakura. You're always beautiful." I smiled and hugged her. I had to borrow some of her clothes, because, as far as I know, all of my clothes are at Sasuke's house. I wore a long-sleeved fitted black shirt, with a collar that stopped at my shoulders. I also wore a pair of super skinny jeans that hugged my legs nicely. Quite simple, but I liked the look. I took a deep breath, and gathered my confidence up. Just at the right time, too; the doorbell just rang.

"I'll get it!" I called throughout the house. My heart was hammering in my chest as I walked to the door. I paused and took a deep breath, and I opened the door. I could tell that he was nervous. He was brushing his hand through his hair and he had a deep sigh that resonated in his chest. He glanced at me, and smiled. "Hi there…" I said breathlessly.

"Hey." He stated, and gingerly held his hand out to me. "I know you don't remember me at all, but I really missed you." I gave him a small smile and took his hand. I felt the pure strength of his muscles as he pulled me into a hug. I froze, not knowing what to do as his shoulders shook. I gently wrapped my arms around him as well. And it felt right.

"Sasuke! It's been a while, bro!" Naruto's excited voice called to us as he bounded our way, and we broke apart. "Oh…sorry for interrupting…" I was about to speak, but Sasuke beat me to it.

"It's cool. It has been a while." We all moved into the kitchen as we exchanged pleasantries. It was quiet as we sat down and began eating. After numerous awkward and silent moments, I couldn't take it anymore. I slammed my hands to the table and stood up, staring at everyone individually for a few seconds each.

"Goddamn it, you guys…Will somebody tell me who the hell this guy is to me? I can feel that he's so important. I feel it. And, God, I know I have something for him, but I just don't know who he is! I don't want to be missing out on someone as great as I'm sure he is…" I could feel the tears welling up and I cursed to myself as I fell back to my knees.

"Sakura, come on." Sasuke said, standing up and reaching his hand out to me. "Let's spend some time together, okay?" I took his hand, wiped my tears, and stood up. "We might be back later, guys." He led me out of their house, and paused for a minute after we shut the door.

"Something wrong?" I asked. He only looked back at me with a look I couldn't read, then smirked.

"No, nothing at all. Close your eyes, okay?" I simply nodded. As we proceeded to walk, I felt nervous, and walking with my eyes closed was nerve-wracking. I felt myself stumble and held on to Sasuke's arm tighter. He chuckled a bit and squeezed my hand. "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you." After a little while, Sasuke began to talk, telling me everything that had happened to us in the years that I've known him. So I was quiet and listened. And I cried. How could I forget this person?

"Sasuke, where are we?" I said finally as we sat down on a bench.

"This is the bench I laid you on when I left the village." I just looked at him for a moment, and smiled. A few seconds later, we both leaned in and kissed. It was short and sweet, but just what we needed after what we've been through.

"I'm sorry I forgot, Sasuke." He just smiled and shook his head.

"Don't be, Sakura. You're here now, and that's all that matters."

END. :D
