Hello beautiful people, so here is the second chapter, I was going to post it in a couple of weeks after extending it a bit but I decided against it, the story it's still in it's developing phase and I can't wait for the juicy part to start (maybe next chapter or the one after), the drama and the angst and the romance. But for now this was just a bit of an extended introduction. Also I'm still getting used to posting and I'm trying to improve the outline of the story. But anyway, I hope you all enjoy this Sasuke cantered chapter.


He was anxious, he could feel it in the way his hands slightly shake, as soon as he ended the call he knew there was no way he could drive there, so now here he was in the back of a taxi nearly having a panic attack. He can't bring himself to blame his mother for not telling him what happened and sparing him the trouble of guessing, he knew she must have her reasons.

The taxi came to a stop, the time it took for him to reach for his walled and walk down the hospital entrance felt like ages.

"Hello, I'm looking for Uchi- I mean Haruno Sakura's room"

He knew this wasn't the wing she comes every morning to work, so there was no way any of the workers could recognise him.

"I'm sorry sir but it seems that this patient can only receive family visits, if I may ask what is your relationship with the patient?"

Sasuke was getting annoyed, he was told to be here and now it seem that he couldn't even do that, he knew that if he said the real state of his relationship with her he would be denied entrance, but before he could lie about being a distant cousin someone came to his rescue.

"Sasuke, thank God" It was her mother's voice. How long has it been since he saw her, those eyes as kind and bright as hers.

Behind her he also recognised his own mother. He saw them speaking to the receptionist and he knew everything would be taken care of. In no time both woman approached him again and guided in into the white hallways of that dreadful place.

It didn't took them long to reach a door, room 410, why was destiny being this cruel to him he thought. He turned to the two women to finally ask what was going on, he needed answers and he needed them now.

"What happened to her and why am I here?"

And at last Mebuki started, making sure that they were standing in a good distance from the door to prevent Sakura from hearing anything.

"The situation is bad Sasuke, she had car accident, but it seems that the car suffered more physical damages that she has"

He listened to every word she said carefully because he knew the worst was yet to come.

"Her body is fine and the doctor says she should be discharged in a couple of days, but she hit her head hard and now, her memory is…mixed up"

"They said she has temporary amnesia and they don't know exactly when her memories will fully come back" Now his mother spoke. Something inside him still told him this wasn't the worst part.

"Why am I here?"

"She...was asking about you this morning"

"Sasuke, her last memories are from three years ago…" and with that he felt his heart stop, his mind racing he could see the women speak something else but he couldn't hear them. Three years ago, three ago they were happy, three years ago they had hope, three years ago she was his wife.

"Sasuke, are you listening?" Mebuki asked clearly worried by his lack of response. He gave her a nod and she continued

"The doctors say is better to not pressure her into remembering everything at once, to let her brain run it's course, I know what I'm asking is unreasonable and even unfair to you, but…" He knew was she would say to pretend that everything was fine, that they were still husband and wife happy and in love.

"…it's just for a couple of weeks, could you please just do this for her?" She looked at him with the same eyes her daughter looked at him when she wanted something. Thinking about her in this place, again, something inside him clicked.

As if sensing this inner battle his mother's hand gave his a light squeeze, to unsure him that she was there for him.

With a deep sigh he said.

"I'll do it, I'll talk to her" And pretend that everything is fine, was left unsaid it but they all knew what was being implied.

"Just give me a moment alone with her"

The two women agreed as they saw him entering the room, not a single drop of uncertainty in his movements.


Sakura opened her eyes as soon as she heard the door being opened and before she could even see who it was, she knew it was him, finally.

"Sasuke-kun"

He looked at her with an expression she couldn't understand; confusion? Sadness? Both?

Another moment passed and he was still silent, standing at the door, she was getting impatient.

"Sasuke, are you going to stand there all day? Aren't you going to give me a hug? God, I could've died you know, how can you be so…" her speech was cut short when a pair of arms hugged her with so much force anyone would think that they haven't seen each in years. She hugged him back, feeling safe again in his arms.

"You are such a bad bad husband, you dare you leave me here alone in the hospital? Yes I know mom was here, but you know what I mean" her words were supposed to be harsh but the tone was light, she was teasing him, she wasn't mad.

They were hugging, wrapped in each other for what it felt like 5 minutes, until he finally pulled away and looked in her eyes. He wanted to say something, so many things, but he didn't knew how, he didn't want to confuse her, so he settle for saying the one truth she could hear right now.

"I was worried"

She smiled, a smile he hasn't seen for so long and to his surprise she kissed him. This was bad, but he couldn't seem to care when her lips fitted so well with his. He missed her so much, he shouldn't be doing this, this was wrong. But still he returned the kiss with all he had in him.

And when they parted, breathless and smiling to each other, for him it felt like three years ago too.


And it's done, end of chapter two. I hope you all enjoyed, thank you very much for the reviews it makes me happy to read your feedback. Expect this story to be updated soon, the third chapter is almost done.
