I do not own Naruto or any of its characters. I'm just a fan!

Please give reviews! I love to read them!

Chapter 1

Moriko ran. She didn't know where she was going, she just knew she needed to get away. She was completly depleted of her chakra, which was to be expected. She had been running for nearly a day and a half nonstop. But she couldn't stop. He could be right behind her. If she had learned one thing about him, it was that his endurance was endless.

Panting heavily, she continued to run through the green forest. Until her sandal got caught on a tree root. She shrieked, then fell head first onto the ground, rolling a few times from the speed she was traviling at. What finally made her come to a stop was when her head came in smack contact with a large tree.

Pain shot through her. Slowly, she reached up to feel where she hit her head. She winced, it hurt! Pulling her hand back, she examined the red substance on her hand. Blood?

But she didn't have time to be in pain! She had to keep running from...what? Why was she running? She couldn't remember...

It had been a two weeks since Naruto returned to the village from traning with Jiraiya. The 16 year old blond was walking through the border of the village, by the forest that surrounded it, taking in the scenery that he had missed so much.

"Yo! Naruto!"

Naruto turned around to see Kiba riding Akamaru (Naruto still couldn't believe how huge Akamaru was).

"Hey, Kiba!" Naruto said, flashing one of his famous smiles. "What's up?"

"I was gunna a-"

Kiba was cut off by a loud, feminine shriek that came from the forest followed by a loud thud that caused one of the nearby trees to shake, causing all of the birds to fly out of it.

"What the hell was that?" Kiba said, as he and Naruto headed into the forest to check it out.

It didn't take them long to find the cause of the scream and thud. Sitting at the base of the tree and bleeding perfusly from the back of her head was one of the most beautiful girls the boys had ever seen. Her waist length black, spikey hair was tied back into a ponytail that was probably much more orderly earlier, because now it was filled with twigs and blood.

Her face was covered in sweat and her eyes that were equally as black as her hair were hooded as she looked at the blood in her hand like she had no idea what it was.

She was wearing a short, blue-black skirt with fishnet tights that came to her mid-thigh. Her black boots came up to her knee. Her turtle neck sleveless shirt was the same color of her skirt, and showed about half of her toned stomach. She had fingerless gloves that came up to her elbow.

She looked up at them looking as confused as she did while looking at her hand.

Naruto cleared his throat and squatted next to her.

"Um hi. I'm Naruto Uzumaki. How'd you get here? Do you want us to take you to the hospital? Your head looks really bad."

She didn't respond. She just stared at Naruto and Kiba.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kiba asked.

She looked at him. "W-Why...am i r-running?" And with that she passed out.

Naruto looked up at Kiba. "Well what do you think? Should we take her to the hospital?"

"Of course we should, idiot! Do you see how bad her head it bleeding?"

Naruto looked at the beautiful girl. He was by no means a pervert, like Ero-sennin. But something about having to carry her made him blush.

Clearing his throat again, he lifted her into her arms. She began bleeding badly on his orange and black jumpsuit.

"Damn, she is bleeding bad. Let's hurry." He said and quickly turned his back to Kiba before the Inuzuka boy could see how badly Naruto was blushing.

"Hey, Sakura-chan?"

Sakura sighed. Naruto had only been back for two weeks and he was already bugging her like crazy. It was a wonder that she had ever missed the blond. But it wasn't like him to bug her while she was working.

"What do you want, Naruto? I'm working." She said without even bothering to turn around and face him.

"Well, there's this girl-"

"You're here to tell me about girl problems?" Sakura snapped. But for some reason the thought made her feel a twinge of jealously.

"Well no, Kiba and I found her in the forest and she's hurt pretty badly..."

Sakura turned around and gasped.

An unconscious dark-haired girl was draped in Naruto's arms. She was the most beautiful girl Sakura had ever seen. She made Sakura want to cluch her chest in jealousy. The girl was seriously endowed. Naruto was also covered in blood that seemed to be coming from her head.

Immediatly regretting how she had made assumptions with Naruto, she nodded and gestured to him and Kiba who was standing close to Naruto. "Follow me." She said, all buisness.

Naruto and Kiba quickly did as she said as she led them to a white hospital room, where Naruto placed the girl onto the bed. Sakura immediately started to examine the wound. It was even worse then it looked. She had put a pretty big gash through her skull. Sakura's immediate conclusion was that the girl probably wouldn't make it. She looked up to deliver the news to Kiba and Naruto, and stopped.

Kiba and Naruto both looked extremely anxious. "Well? Is she gunna make it?" Naruto demanded.

In any other case, Sakura would've pounded him for demanding anything from her. But he was clearly scared for the girls well being. Once again, she was touched by his kindness. And to a girl he didn't even know, too. She didn't have the heart to tell him that she probably wouldn't make it.

She sighed. "How did this happen?"

Kiba shrugged. "We don't know. We were walking when we heard her scream and we ran to see what happened."

Sakura sighed again. "Well, she is too injured for me to do anything..." The boys faces fell. "But I could talk to Tsunade-sama and see if she'd be willing to take a look."

"Yatta! You're the best, Sakura-chan!" Naruto proclaimed.

She smiled. Maybe that's why she had missed him so much. He was always so happy.

Sakura wrapped a bandage around the girl's head, and applied a cold compress.

"Naruto, could you apply pressure to her head with this to stop the bleeding while I go look for Tsunade-sama?"

"Yeah, sure!" He said and held it to her head as Sakura ran out of the room.

"Tsunade-sama!" Sakura called as she knocked frantically on the Hokage's door.

"Come in." Tsunade said with a sigh.

"Tsunade-sama, Naruto and Kiba found a girl in the forest with bad head damage. I don't think she has much of a chance, but could you take a look at her?"

Tsunade stood up. "How bad?"

"She has a pretty bad gash in her skull and the bleeding doesn't look like it's getting any better."

Tsunade sighed. "I'll come take a look."

Tsunade finished healing the girls skull. She could only imagine the force it must've taken to crack it so badly. What had happened to her? She was completely out of chakra too. She had scratches up and down her body. She didn't have any identification to show where she was from.

Naruto was hovering over her impatiently. "Well, Baa-chan? Is she okay?"

Tsunade grimaced. "Dammit, Naruto, it would be much easier to work if you weren't breathing down my neck!" She sighed. "Yes, she'll be alright."

"Yes!" Naruto cheered.

"Alright!" Kiba said.

"However!" Tsunade said to silence the boy's cheering. Once she had their attention again, she continued.

"The crack in her skull was even worse then we originally thought. The fragments of her skull entered her brain. Chances are, she won't remember a thing. Who she is, where she came from, or how she got here."

"Is there any chance she'll remember anything again?" Kiba questioned.

Tsunade sighed. "There's no way to tell. Probably not. However, I've seen people recover from worse. I've removed all the fragments from her brain, but the damage is done. Either she'll remember or she won't."

"Is there anything we can do to help her remember?" Naruto asked.

Tsunade sighed again. It was so dammed hard to be patient with these two!

"Leave Tsunade-sama alone! She just preformed a very difficult surgery!" Sakura snapped, waving her fist around.

"It's fine, Sakura." Tsunade said. Then she shrugged. "A way to make someone who lost all their memories remember them is to jog their memory. But we don't know anything about her so we wouldn't even know where to start." Tsunade looked back at the girl who was still unconscious on the bed with a bandage wrapped around her head. "She'll probably wake up in a few days." She said to Sakura. "Change her bandages every few hours."

"Hai!" Sakura said and left the room to attend to other things.

Tsunade looked back at Kiba and Naruto. "You two should get home. It's late."

Kiba's eyes widened as he saw the time. "Oh crap! My mom is gunna kill me!" He said as he ran out of the hospital.

"See ya, Baa-chan!" Naruto said as he walked out.

Tsunade couldn't help but smile. But how she hated him calling her granny...

A few days later

"Naruto! Hey, Naruto!"

Naruto groaned as he rolled over in bed to look at the time. Noon.

"NARUTO!" He heard Sakura bellow as she continued to pound on his door.

"Mmmpgh coming." Naruto moaned as he trudged to the door. He opened it and winced as sunlight flooded his apartment.

"What are you doing still asleep? It's noon!" Sakura snapped.

"Mmm yeah I guess it is." He yawned. "What's up?"

Sakura sighed, realizing that was probably the best response she'd get from the spikey-haired ninja. Then she smiled.

"Hm?" Naruto said, confused with her sudden change of attitude.

"It's the girl you and Kiba found. She's awake!"
