Chapter 1 – Tragic News

The door slowly creaked open as Naruto and Sasuke, two 18-year-old ANBU, walked inside the Hokage's office. Sitting calmly in her seat was Tsunade, her poise tall and proud with her elbows placed on her mahogany desk. "Naruto, Sasuke," she greeted the pair with a nod, golden-almond eyes flickering between the two.

Naruto's eyebrow rose, his head cocking to the side out of confusion. "Oi, Tsunade-baachan, why do you need us here?" asked the blond-haired ninja, his tanned arm bending behind his head as he scratched his sun-kissed blond hair.

Tsunade sighed, folding her hands in front of her face. Now, how do I break it to them nice and easy… pondered the Godaime.

"There is something I have to tell you both," Tsunade explained in a cool demeanor. "The two of you specifically."

Naruto's expression immediately changed. He tensed up before loosening his shoulders, curiosity racking at his brain. "What's this about?" asked Naruto in a tone louder than Tsunade had liked.

Sasuke's face remained void of emotions, waiting for the Fifth Hokage to continue.

"It is about Sakura…" She started.

Hearing the name, the tension in the air became so thick you could slice it with a knife. Tsunade's experienced medical eyes also noted how both boys tensed at the mention of their pink-haired teammate.

As possibilities of types of injuries the kunoichi could have face during her mission occupied the minds of Naruto and Sasuke, but overall Naruto's. "What the hell happened?" Sasuke muttered quietly under his breath, his fist clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

The blonde woman sighed, her hands unclasping as they moved to her temples, massaging them.

Naruto growled, his frustration growing as Tsunade "beaded around the bush" with the subject. "Just spit it out already!" yelled the kyuubi vessel.

When Tsunade responded him with silence, Naruto continued.

"Does this have anything to do with the mission you sent her on? The one to the Hidden Rock Village?" Cerulean blue eyes narrowed dangerously, murderously. "I'll kill the bastards that hurt Sakura-chan!"

Sasuke's onyx orbs narrowed gravely. Their female teammate was always a sensitive subject to Team Kakashi, especially ever since Sasuke had left and returned three years later thanks to Naruto.

"Quiet, Naruto!" commanded the medical specialist.

Naruto's mouth shut reluctantly, eyebrows deeply furrowing in response.

"Yes, this does have to do with Sakura's mission to the Hidden Rock Village," Tsunade answered. "But you mustn't jump to conclusions so hastily. Kami-sama, didn't Kakashi ever teach you that?" After a brief moment of an awkward silence, Tsunade sighed and continued. "I know as much as you do about what happened to her. All I know is her injuries were pretty serious, and with her having been my apprentice, it must have been one hell of a fight to get her into that shape."

Injuries?! Naruto thought as an image of a smiling Sakura came to his mind. His heartbeat rose at the idea of Sakura weak and vulnerable, all alone in a hospital room.

"Go on," Sasuke quietly said. Naruto blinked turning his head to the man beside him. The Uchiha hadn't said one word until just a moment ago; Naruto had forgotten he was even there.

The blonde Hokage nodded towards young Uchiha. " As I was saying. Her physical injuries are not grave or life-threatening"—at that Tsunade heard Naruto heave a deep sigh of relief—"However," she continued. "With her mental injuries… I am afraid there is a slight problem.

Naruto's breath hitched in his throat as Sasuke's teeth gritted against one another. Naruto took a side-glance at Sasuke. The kyuubi vessel remembered his many attempts to convince Sakura not to accept the mission to the Hidden Rock Village arguing that it was "too dangerous." He even remembered Sasuke adding quietly how the danger had increased in that area. But even their reasoning wasn't enough, for Sakura retorted many times how she was "strong enough to handle herself" and "didn't need protection."

Naruto hear Sasuke's teeth gritting with his sharp hearing as he gulped. One of his worst fears had come true. Something was wrong with one of his most important people and all because he couldn't be there to protect her.

Threatening Sharingan engulfed dark onyx orbs as the Uchiha's curse seal began to pulse.

Naruto felt the kyuubi's chakra beginning to overwhelm him.

"Now listen Uchiha, Uzumaki, I'm only going to say this once." The female sannin eyed the two men warily. They look as if they're going to lose it. She mentally smirked. They care about her that much, huh?

Taking a calm breath, Tsunade calmly said, "She's lost her memory." A blink. "In other words, she has a serious case of amnesia."

That simple sentence had triggered their anger. Sasuke punched the nearest wall near him, almost breaking the concrete wall of the Hokage Mansion as cracks began to erupt. Naruto punched the ground, the floor under Tsunade's office barely visible through the deep cracks in the floor. "Calm yourselves!" Tsunade ordered. "I know that she's close to you, but honestly, you don't need to break the whole building! As ANBU you should know better!"

"Calm down? Calm down?!" yelled the blond ANBU, his fists on the Hokage's desk as his head was directed downwards, his nose flaring. "Dammit, I told her not to go on that damn mission, I told her—!"

Bloody crimson Sharingan flashed as black tomoes swirled. "Has she remembered anything?" asked the Prodigy of the Uchiha clan, a dark mystique surrounding his deep husky tone.

Naruto glared darkly. "Fuck that question! Where is he?" The Godaime blinked. She always had suspected Naruto had a thing for cursing, especially when he was upset.

"She is in the hospital resting," responded Tsunade tranquilly. "I must warn you, however, that the last time I had seen her she was acting like a completely different individual. She doesn't know anyone, anything, let alone who she is or who she was."

Damn, so it's worse than I thought, Sasuke thought to himself as he blinked slowly, holding his closed gaze for a moment.

"Isn't this bothering you… at all?" Naruto accused, eyes in slits at Tsunade. His fist clenched when she rewarded him with another silence. "Damn it, why won't you answer my questions baachan?!"

"Dobe," Sasuke muttered ominously, "Shut up. Overreacting won't do any good; it will only add to annoyances."

Naruto pointed an indicting finger at the raven-haired man, "Overreacting?" echoed Naruto. "You aren't even fucking reactingyou asshole!"

Both men's knuckles clenched so tightly their skin began to grow white, each glowering darkly at each other. Naruto took a few steps back to stand across from the Uchiha who continued to glare daggers.

Sasuke tore his gaze away, saying in a tone that almost sounded like a command, "Take us to her."

The renowned medic shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't do that. Her injuries as well as herself need more time to recuperate before I show you two to her."

Naruto shook his head solemnly. He lifted his arm and placed it on Sasuke's shoulder. "Let me and Sasuke restore her memories."

Golden orbs eyed the kyuubi vessel warily. "It's too soon," was all she replied with. Just as Naruto opened his mouth to retort, Tsunade continued, "I don't want to give her any more trauma."

Trauma? thought Sasuke, dark eyebrows furrowing together. "What trauma?" asked the man, intimidating Sharingan slowly converting back to calm onyx.

"She woke up and took one look around the room. Immediately, nurses swarmed her, asking questions about how she was feeling as others took tests. According to them, she screamed as she clutched her head tightly before fainting. She hasn't woken up since. The doctors, including myself, think that because she recognized the surroundings, memories flooded her mind and it was too much for her to handle." Tsunade leaned forward, hands clasped in front of her once again as she added, "However, Sakura is pretty strong mentally when it comes to her mind. That fact lets us know how tough or deep her amnesia may be."

"Aa, I see," muttered Sasuke in reply as he took a quick side-glance at Naruto who was currently beside him. Sasuke noticed he was shaking, out of anger he had assumed, noting how his cerulean eyes bored directly into the ground.

"You must come to a realization that she may"—her eyes flickered back and forth—"may never recover her memory again."

"What… what do you mean may?" Naruto quietly asked.

"It all depends on the type of amnesia she has," replied the medic.

Naruto grimaced, the possibility of the dearest person to him never knowing all the good times they had flooded his train of thought. Absent-mindedly, he blurted out, "No, no, she doesn't have amnesia! Sakura-chan will remember me, you'll see! Th-Then things will be back to normal and this whole thing will have never happened!"

The Godaime closed her eyes, her face serene.

Sasuke remained impassive.Amnesia… never being able to recover her memories? The set of his mouth twisted slightly at the thought.

He had remembered her numerously expressing her love to him, especially the time he left her on the bench. Flashes of the event entered his mind.

"I love you with all my heart!" she cried.

"I'll do anything just for you to stay! And… if you can't stay, take me with you! I'll help you with your revenge!" Her emerald eyes held a hopeful gleam to them that lighted from the moon's bright glow, her hands clasped tightly together as they were held to her chest.

He turned around and glimpsed at her, a cruel, bittersweet smirk on his features. "After all these years…" muttered Sasuke. Onyx orbs locked with jade green ones. "You're still annoying."

Turning on his heel, hands dug in his pockets, he continued walking forward. He had heard her take a few steps forward, ears perking when he heard her take a breath.

"If you leave, I'll scream!" she shouted to him.

That had done it. A knowing smirk before he disappeared in a flash. A wind had swept as he reappeared behind Sakura, the breeze sweeping their hair lightly to the side.

He could just see her big, wide eyes and her mouth open in anticipation. "Sakura…" he had began. He heard her gasp at the sound of her name. The corner of his mouth quirked upward. "…Thank you."

A hit to the neck. A thump on the ground. A sleeping girl on a cold bench.

The memory would haunt him every now and then. His eyelids drooped to a close. Sakura… forgetting all her feelings… contemplated he. For her… to never remember… she would be a completely different person. He then began to realize Naruto's proclamation to help her remember her memories was making more sense to him.

The Godaime frowned slightly at Naruto's words. "You must take into consideration she could never remember—"

Sasuke grunted, catching both Naruto's and Tsunade's attention. "We will restore her memories," he stated bluntly, determinedly.

Tsunade raised a questionable eyebrow, "What makes you so sure?"

Sasuke kept his hard gaze, Naruto looking at the Uchiha before nodding in agreement, unwavering from the suggestion.

After a few moments of silence, Tsunade answered, "I'll allow you a try." Naruto grinned until she continued, "But give her a couple days rest. I don't want her fainting on me again when she sees the two of you." The blond's grin slightly faltered before he picked up his usual cheeriness.

His cerulean orbs held gleams of hope, and for Naruto, that was all he needed. Sasuke nodded in understanding.

"Understood," the two of them said simultaneously, one cheery and the other calmly. Turning their backs to the Hokage, they headed towards the exit out of the Hokage Mansion.

Naruto stopped walking causing Sasuke to stop as well, an eyebrow rose in confusion. Naruto turned his head, a grin on his face as Sasuke craned his neck around as well. "Tsunade-baachan…" Tsunade glanced at him. Naruto's grin grew, "Arigato!"

Tsunade chuckled light-heartedly before resuming her work.

"So, teme…" Naruto began as the two ninjas walked silently next to each other. "What do you think?" Sasuke glanced at him from the corner of his eye. The ANBU had both his arms folded behind his bright blond hair as his feet walked slowly side-by-side, taking small strides.

Sasuke didn't bother to answer, eyes closed in a calm demeanor.

Then Naruto felt an idea forming in his head.

Wait a minute… thought the kyuubi vessel. If she won't remember us… then maybe… I can make her fall in love with me! After all, I've known her for years! I know everything she likes and dislikes… I'll be like her soul mate! Then she'll fall in love with me and we'll finally be together!

Naruto felt a small grimace at the thought. Sure, I would be taking advantage of her vulnerable state, but hey, at least something will come good if she won't remember her memories… he thought, feeling a small tinge of guilt at his last few words.

Sasuke took advantage of the silence Naruto had provided him (which is rare when there is ever a silence with Naruto, unless on a mission) using the time to think of his pink-haired teammate. Most of her memories… he thought. He remembered how she used to constantly bug him about dates or other useless things. Most of them revolve around me. For her love for me. In that case…

He wasn't sure if he was lying or not, but he had a feeling he wasn't.

I need to make her remember her love for me by treating her the same way I did before she lost her memory… then she'll remember in no time. However, his sixth sense told him he was gravely wrong.
