Sakura wasn't quite sure what the Hokage had planned for tomorrow but she was sure she needed plenty of rest. She lay down quietly on top of her bed. She looked around the colorful room at all the pictures.
She didn't feel comfortable; she just tossed and turned on the bed unable to find a good spot. It wasn't that she was uncomfortable with sleeping she soon realized it was the book under her pillow that made it hard. She pulled it out and her eyes filled with hope, by the looks of it, this book was her diary. All notion of sleep gone from her mind she sat upright in a hurry and opened the book.
The first page was full of scribbles. She giggled a little it was almost like she had a split personality. She saw little doodles of Team 7. Kakashi-sensei towered over the small three children, there were small heart eyes for herself and Sasuke and X's for Naruto's. She flipped to the next page, which was where she saw her first entry.
Entry 1
"I am so so happy!! We got put into teams today and I am finally close enough to Sasuke, where he might notice me. I brushed my hair extra long today, because I am sure he loves long hair. Everything would have been prefect if that baka Naruto wasn't placed in our team as well; he is going to be troublesome…hm where have I heard that word before "troublesome?"
She scanned another few pages; most of these entries were about how much she "cared" for Sasuke. How good he looked, how he acted, how strong he was, it was like she was in love with him.
She held the book close to her chest for a moment.
"Was I in love with Sasuke?"
She closed the book and put it on her desk top. As she curled up on her bed, even though she was very tired she just laid awake looking out at the stars thinking about everything she had read.
She thought about Sasuke for a moment, she had to admit he wasn't talkative but he was very handsome. His features were sharp, and even though she had not seen him smile she knew it had to be a killer one. She let a smile escape her lips; maybe she could reconnect to her past through Sasuke.
She flipped to her side and let sleep capture her.
Sakura awoke to a loud knock on her door; she jumped slightly out of bed, but regained her composure as she realized where she was.
She looked at the clock which read 10: 45 a.m., which surprised her a bit since she was an early riser. Her eyes fell upon the diary which she had been reading the previous night, that was the cause of her late awakening.
The knock came once again this time a little bit harder. Sakura straightened her hair and grumbled a few words at the impatient knocker. She swung the door open wide only to find Naruto with a slight grin on his face.
He looked at her a moment and turned around to where his back was facing Sakura. Sakura's face turned from slight anger to strangely confused.
"Hahaha Sakura I see I caught you at a…surprised moment…", Naruto was stumbling over his words and raising his hands in the air as he talked.
"Naruto, I don't know what you are talking about I just woke up that's all, and why are you facing…"
A cold breeze flew in, and made Sakura realize what Naruto was talking about. She was still in her tiny nightgown. The short pink outfit was the reason Naruto was not looking directly at her. Not that he minded, but being a gentleman meant more than being like pervey-sage.
'Pervey-sage would be so disappointed.' thought Naruto has he heard the door slam shut.
He figured Sakura had realized why he had turn around so quickly. The thought made him blush slightly, sometimes Naruto was still just a big kid at heart.
Now it was Sakura turn to fumble around with her words…"I…uh didn't get much sleep…and it slipped my mind to….you know the robe…", she became silent after a moment.
"I'll be out in a few minutes."
After about twenty minutes Sakura emerged from her apartment, a little less embarrassed about Naruto seeing her. She opened the door expecting to see him there but was a bit surprised to see him gone. She figured he must have gotten tired of waiting and headed out to the Hokage's office like planned.
She made her way down the steps but paused as she heard laughter fill the air. Laughter she knew all too well, even with her memory loss. It was Naruto doing what Naruto does best.
There were a few kids huddled around him, it looked like he was telling a story. The children were so captivated by him, the admiration clear on their tiny faces. She quietly made her way over to where the children were seated.
"And so the brave ninja searched everywhere for the beautiful missing ninja, but she was nowhere to be found. "
The children put a small sad frown on their faces.
"Will the brave ninja save the beautiful missing ninja in time?, asked one of the eager children.
Now Sakura looked at her small face, which had a perplexed look, so Sakura didn't really think too much before she walked over to Naruto.
"The brave ninja fought long and hard and traveled far distances to bring back the missing ninja. After all his hard work and training he finally brought her home", Sakura stated with her hands clasped behind her back.
The children looked at her a moment and jumped up for joy. They were so happy about hearing about the brave ninja.
As they began to disperse a small boy who looked much younger than the rest screamed, " One day I will be the brave ninja saving the girl."
"Baka, your too small to save anyone", taunted a cute little girl
Naruto walked over to the little boy and bent down, "Never give up, you never know what you can do if you stop trying, no matter who taunts you."
Sakura walked over and bent down and gave the shy little boy a kiss, informing him that she would love to be saved by a boy with such courage. The little boy jumped away happily his faith in his abilities restored.
"A ninja by night a story teller by day?", Sakura giggled.
Naruto blushed slightly, "I didn't mean to put you on the spot."
Sakura waved her petite hand in the air, dismissing anything Naruto said. She actually enjoyed hearing the story. She broke into a laughing frenzy.
Naruto looked at Sakura as she laughed, her beautiful hair glowed in the sunlight and her hand covered her mouth as she held back some of the laughs. She looked beautiful to him, just perfect he just stood looking at her.
After she stopped laughing she looked at him a bit concerned that he had zoned out.
"Naruto, is everything all right?", she asked reaching out to touch his arm
Naruto just blushed deeper, "Ye-Yes I-I'm fine."
They began to walk toward the Hokage's office, both in silence.
Many of the girls had noticed Naruto's growth from a tiny child to a grown man. Naruto's features were undeniable. His beautiful blue eyes were like the ocean calm and collective, but fierce. Many of the girls played with their hair as Naruto walked by, who wasn't noticing very much.
"So Naruto the girl you are in love with, she wouldn't happen to be one of those girls who are batting there eyes at you right now?"
Naruto laughed, "No she is one of a kind, trust me."
They were running late, and as they entered the Hokage's office the meeting had already started. They hurried in as the Tsuande threw a glance at Naruto.
"Well what do you all think?", she concluded.
Sasuke and Kakashi nodded their heads in union, leaving Sakura and Naruto with blank stares.
Naruto kind of stood up and fiddled with his words, "I totally agree, it is the best idea I have heard."
Sasuke gave him a small smile, "And what idea would that be dobe?"
Naruto let out a nervous laugh, " The idea we just discussed."
Sasuke shook his head in amusement " Dobe, you don't even know what we talked about."
Naruto blushed, "So fill me in already." Sakura couldn't help but giggle at Naruto efforts.
"We have decided to throw a welcome back party for Sakura, which will be held on the Uchiha compound in one week." Tsuadne stated.
"We just thought it would be nice for Sakura."
Sakura's smile went from ear to ear, "A party for me?"
"Yes, and not just a small party, something elegant, so long as we don't have any problems with your health. I would like to see if this would help trigger anything in your memory, your head wound is healing wonderful."
Sakura nodded her head in disbelief did this really mean she could be getting her memory back.
After discussing some other small matters the group filed out of Tsuande's office.
Naruto let out a big sigh, he was very hungry and his tummy wouldn't let him forget it. His belly grumbled loudly as he held it with his hands as not to alert Sakura, who he was walking home.
She turned to look at him curiously as to what that noise had been, when she heard it again. She shook her head and asked if he wanted to eat something.
He looked at her; this would be the first time Sakura-chan ever asked him to eat. He nodded his head in disbelief.
"I also don't need my memory, to know exactly what you want to eat."
They took a seat on the cold stool as there order arrived. Naruto had no problem digging in, he loved ramen. Sakura just sat a moment looking at him, than she stuck her chopstick in the ramen and swirled it around.
As busy as Naruto was he noticed the look on Sakura's face, he placed his chopsticks down and turned to her concerned.
"Is everything alright Sakura-chan?"
"Hai….", she responded softly.
There was a moment of silence until she spoke up again.
"I found my old diary yesterday, I read through it well through the first part of it at least."
"Isn't that good, it may help you get your memory back?"
"Do you think I should try to do the things I used to do, to get my memory back?"
"Well I am not a doctor or as smart about these things as baa-chan, but I think it is a good idea…why wouldn't it be right? I say go for it what is the worst that could happen? "
"Right, your right Naruto, I should try to live my life the way I did before, I should try to have the things I had before I lost my memory.
"Right, see thats the Sakura-chan I know and…", Naruto started but was caught off as Sakura began to speak.
"I will get Sasuke to fall in love with me." - -
Muhahaha Dont you just love drama?
