Sakura back in time ❦ (Naruto BIT fanfic)

9

Five months had come and gone and Sakura and Itachi were dating. The two couldn't really say that those skanky fangirls were happy about it, but they were happy that Fugaku seemed rather... calm about it.

Well, since it had been six months, as promised, Sakura was to get her memories back. One day, while Sakura was out fetching some groceries for Mikoto, she noticed an elderly lady watching her. The lady's appearance tugged at some strings in her mind, but she couldn't say where she'd seen the woman.

"Sakura," the woman called in a hoarse voice.

She looked at the old lady once more and mentally debated whether she should just walk away before she got into trouble. Of course, she knew that would be rude. She walked toward the lady and asked, "How do you know my name?"

"I know a lot about you, Sakura," the old lady replied. "I know more about you than even you know."

"Y-You know my past!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Tell me, what am I like? Was I popular? Tell me everything!"

"There is no need to," the old lady told her. "I can give you your memory."

"You can... what?"

The lady nodded and poked Sakura's forehead with her index and middle fingers.

"What was that f-" Before Sakura could finish her question, a mad rush of flashes of scenes too quick to decipher ran before her eyes like a movie on fast-forward. She gasped in surprise and fell onto her backside, unable to get any words out. She just opened and closed her mouth a few times in surprise and confusion. "I-It worked," she whispered, looking around the street, now realizing that this was the street from seven years before her time.

"It did," replied the sorceress. "Now is your time to attack, Haruno Sakura. Take as long as you need, but I implore you to do it quickly before you get too involved in this time."

She nodded, not really listening to what the sorceress had been saying.

"Now, I'll leave you to your business." And the sorceress disappeared.

"Sakura- nee-san!" (A/N: I finally got it right! X3) called Sasuke, running toward her. "Why are you on the ground?"

"Oh, uh, I tripped."

"Silly nee-san!" laughed Sasuke, helping her to stand up.

Sakura brushed herself off and asked, "Um... do you want to walk to the market with me?"

Sasuke nodded and walked with her, holding her arm protectively. "I don't want you to trip again," he'd told her. "You could get hurt, Nee-san!"

She blushed and tried to remember that this was not the actual Sasuke she knew and loved. Then, it hit her. She did have romantic feelings for Itachi and she did have romantic feelings for Sasuke back in her time... she would have to kill Itachi to save Sasuke from becoming the man he was long after the time she was in.

What do I do...?
