A/N: Hello there! This is my very first Post-war/Canonverse Multi-chapter story and I'm very excited to write this.

Ever since I can remember, I really wanted to write a story with Sakura having an amnesia and only forgetting her memory of Sasuke. And upon re-watching a couple of Hana Yori Dango 2's episodes, TADAAH!

I've never been inspired so bad. This story is inspired by several Sasusaku fics that I've read for years and by HYD2's couple last episodes.

So here it is. I hope you guys could enjoy it. ｡◕‿◕｡

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

"I'm trying to forget you, but my heart says no."

After Team 7 defeated Kaguya and Madara, the people of Konoha seems living the harmonious life. Now, the shinobi world went into tranquility. Going back to the normal life and rebuilding the structures that the war had destroyed, Uchiha Sasuke is assigned by the Hokage to help the villagers in rebuilding their life once again, a part of his probation treaty.

After finishing his probation job just outside Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke had received the news that his teammate, Haruno Sakura had already arrived from her six-month S-class mission but she was now in an unconscious state. Probably her team werre attacked by several missing nins, since the Kumogakure no Sato was known for its notorious defectors and criminals.

Not that he cared or anything, but his girl teammate became one of his precious comrade along the blonde ninja idiot.

After defecting from Konoha and seeking Orochimaru's power, he became not trustful with other people especially now that he's on probation and not all villagers acknowledged his return to the village. They still saw him as a traitor and deserter.

But he doesn't care what other people think about him. He came back to Konoha to protect what his brother, Itachi failed to do. He will continue it and he will restore his clan's dignity and former glory.

Now he's back in Konoha, he still values his teammates, especially Naruto and Sakura. Of course, forgiving him wouldn't be that easy, but many things had happened and they are sorting their differences step by step.

After finishing his probation task, He then hastily went towards the hospital and he saw Uzumaki Naruto waiting nervously outside an ICU room.

He then proceeded to the blonde's side and anxiously asked,

"Is she still unconscious?"

The former village deserter creased his forehead when Naruto simply nodded at him.

Sasuke then heard him sighing and saying, "Baa-chan said she'll be fine,"

After several minutes, the dark-haired ninja glanced towards the ICU door expecting that their pink-haired teammate would be fine and awake, but they were still caught by silence and the beeping of a machine, then promptly they heard a familiar voice coming down from the hospital hallway.

It belonged to the Yamanaka girl who brought flowers and fresh fruits who had arrived along with her teammates, Shikamaru and Choji.

The cerulean-eyed girl anxiously asked, "Sakura…is she still…?"

She was then answered by Naruto, explaining the situation to the new comers,

"Yep. The doctors said they needed to run some tests again because it's been a while now and she's still not waking up."

Meanwhile, Sasuke's attention is drawn when the ICU room suddenly opened and the Fifth Hokage is seen exiting the room.

She then walked towards them and announced,

"She's already awake now, we already tended her head wounds and it's a miracle she survived that fall from her mission."

Tsunade smiled and gestured the kids to visit the pink-haired kunoichi,

"But we need to run some tests and observe her. You are now allowed to visit her."

.

.

Naruto bustling entered the room followed by Team Ten and the former avenger.

The pink-haired kunoichi was peacefully sitting idly on the hospital bed.

Naruto first asked, "Sakura-chan! How are you feeling now?" Smiling delightfully at her form.

She then croaked, "I feel a bit light-headed now, Naruto. But I feel fine."

After placing the flowers and fruits on the other side of the table and upon hearing her answer, Ino then followed his question and asked,

"I know you're a tough weed, forehead. I'm glad you're okay now. Oh—we should celebrate this! Right guys?"

But she was simply interrupted by Shikamaru,

"C'mon Ino, Sakura just recovered from her S-class mission. I don't thi—"

Ino then sent a deadly glare towards the Nara ninja and said,

"Shut up, Shikamaru! I know that, it's just it's been a while now since we got a get together with the rest of the Rookies."

Shikamaru dejectedly sighed, but he still continued his interrupted speech,

"—nk it's a good idea. This is too troublesome. Ugh."

He then clucked his head towards the pink-haired kunoichi and groaned,

"Oh well. Sakura, good thing you're alright now. Choji and I will be going so that we can prepare for our an upcoming mission this evening, let's go Choji."

Sakura's attention is drawn by the two ninjas.

The pink-haired kunoichi just answered a simple,

"Thanks guys."

Choji and Shikamaru nodded and proceeded to exit the room. Meanwhile, Naruto, Ino and Sasuke were left inside the pinkette's ICU room.

Then the former kyuubi container spun his head and grabbed something on his pouch and revealed,

"So Sakura-chan, do you want to eat something? I brought some ramen if you're hungry."

But the cerulean-eyed kunoichi glared angrily at him and rejected his offer instantly,

"Ugh! I don't think she needed that kind of junk food, Naruto."

He then walked towards the Yamanaka girl and murmured to her ears,

"But the hospital foods don't taste quite well. I figured Sakura-chan wanted something to boost her energy, 'ya know?"

Sakura let a light laugh at the friendly banter of her two best friends.

The Yamanaka girl sensed the awkward sensation inside the room and she noticed that Sakura's other teammate was still visibly quiet. She then came up with a very good plan to leave the two alone to catch up some things, she elbowed Naruto, but it seems the former kyuubi host doesn't get what she's conveying.

Ino then announced,

"You're stupid; anyway I'll be back with some decent food from the cafeteria. Naruto, could you help me carry it?"

But the blonde-ninja raised his right eyebrow and confusingly asked the cerulean-eyed kunoichi,

"Why? Can't you carry it by yourself?"

Ino's expression turned sour upon hearing Naruto's protest,

"…Just come with me, okay?"

When they're about to leave the room, they heard a voice from the pinkette,

"Uhm…Ino, you didn't tell me you have a boyfriend. I think it's kind of rude to leave him here."

Uchiha Sasuke who is standing alone on the other side of the room, with his crossed-arms and quietly listening to his co-ninjas bantering and what nots, but his ears perked up when he heard his teammate Haruno Sakura has said something odd that made him jerked up.

The blonde just retorted,

"What?! What, boyfriend?"

Sakura then pointed her petite finger towards the dark-haired ninja's direction,

"Him."

After Naruto and Ino heard what she's talking about, they stared worriedly at the pinkette,

"Are you kidding me right now? He's not my boyfriend! Wa—wait, Sakura…You mean…"

But Sakura's expression didn't change, she was still confused and it seems like they've seen a ghost or something.

Then Naruto hurriedly went to her side and anxiously asked her,

"Sakura-chan! You know me right? What's my name?"

She then laughed and answered him instantly,

"You're Naruto, silly!"

Her cerulean-eyed bestfriend went next to question her,

"How about me? Do you know me?"

Sakura then hurriedly answered her with a taunting tone,

"Why should I forget your annoying face, Ino-pig."

The Yamanaka girl walked towards the Uchiha survivor and pushed him towards in front of the pinkette's face. She then pointed his face and asked her,

"Then, can you tell us his name?"

Sakura then confusingly stared at the dark-haired brooding boy while she creased her forehead, but she deeply thought if she met his face somewhere from before, but she can't still remember him,

"Hmm…Is he your boyfriend? Uhh…I don't know, I don't think you had introduced him to me before."

Ino then shockingly stared at her and tilted her head towards Naruto.

The pinkette then heard the blonde ninja,

"Sakura-chan, are you trying to pull a gag on us?"

Then a truculent voice was heard from the hospital room, it was from the Uchiha boy. He looked towards her emerald orbs and announced,

"Sakura, will you cut that out? This isn't funny."

Naruto let out a worried sighed,

"Sasuke…"

The Yamanaka kunoichi thought something's not right and hurriedly went outside to find Tsunade, leaving the confused pinkette with her own teammates.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke was left inside Sakura's room.

Still, confused and bewildered, Sakura was still staring towards Naruto who is walking back and forth in front of her bed.

She started to get dizzy from his fast paced walking and she continued to ask him,

"Naruto, can you walk slowly. My head hurts while watching you."

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, but how can you remember us and forget—"He was then interjected by the dark-haired ninja who was staring outside the window.

Uchiha Sasuke puzzingly thought if this was a sick joke played by his pink-haired teammate, but if it was, it's still not funny in any way. He had already visited her and learned that she's in a good condition after being in a comatose, but it seems like she didn't even remembered his name.

Knowing his presence isn't needed inside the room, the dark-haired ninja announced, "Dobe, I'll be going now."

He then turned his way towards the door and when he was about to go, Naruto stopped him.

"B-But, Sasuke! Wait!"

.

.

.

Naruto asked him if he could come with him and talk to the Fifth hokage about "Sakura's sudden forgetfulness".

Sasuke sighed and accepted his best friend's request and when they arrived at the Hokage's office, Ino was already there asking the same thing,

"Tsunade-sama, I think something's wrong with Sakura."

The two boys had arrived at Tsunade's office right on time. After hearing their explanation to why her student is acting strange, she immediately went outside and decided to check upon her to know what's going on.

"Wait here."

After several minutes and upon checking her student, she went back to her office and she explained to the rookies what had happened.

Naruto and Ino blurted out in sync, "Memory loss?!"

The Fifth Hokage explained the demise of her former student, "Sakura, she possibly suffered a partial memory loss."

While Sasuke was still listening quietly to her explanation, they heard Naruto asking, "But how and why has she only forgotten about Sasuke?"

The Fifth Hokage gulped the remaining tea on her cup and further explained that,

"After several tests and after analyzing her lab results. She probably lost a certain part of her memory and that memory was YOU, Uchiha Sasuke."

The Yamanaka kunoichi sadly looked towards the dark-haired ninja whose expression was still ambiguous. She mused, 'This is bad, of all the people. Why Sasuke-kun?'

Naruto's expression changed and asked, "She will eventually regain her memory, won't she?"

Tsunade cannot do any means to speed up her recovery, it is up to Sakura to remember the things or people she had forgotten, she explained to the trio and added, "Let's just observe her for a while."

After hearing those words, the dark-haired boy quickly jolted the room. Sasuke left the hospital building without saying any words and he suddenly decided to go home.

.

.

.

Uchiha Sasuke is exhausted by the sudden memory loss of his pink-haired teammate. Also this isn't helping his anxious state to get better.

Naruto and Ino didn't notice that he is unaffected by the incident inside the hospital, but deep inside it was eating him. It troubled him to think that Haruno Sakura, the girl who used to have a crush on him, the girl who confessed her dying love for him before he left the village, the girl who still loves him dearly after what had happened in the Iron Country and the war.

The girl who stood by him after all this time, can't remember his face alone his name. The feelings she once had to him had already been threw away. Sasuke exhaled and faced the mirror inside his bathroom. He thought he saw Sakura's face on the mirror, or maybe he was going crazy?

He then punched the mirror in front of him and the little shards of glass wounded his arms. Blood trickled on his palm. Numbed by the pain, he washed his hand as the trickles of blood landed on the sink.

He didn't notice that long ago, he already accepted that girl's love. But he was stubborn enough not to accept it. He had a task to do to eliminate his brother before and to know what the truth behind the murder of his clan. But after all, when he went to Orochimaru, he clinged on to that stupid girl's love confession. He clung to the hope that she will wait for him and understand what he had to do.

But now, it looks like he wasted all that time. He then stared at the broken mirror enraged and whispered to himself,

'Is it too late?'
