Memories of the Blossom Heart

Chapter 8: The Fun Trip

Please read & review!

Early morning came when Sakura was packing her belongings into her bag and adjusted her bed sheets. She used the swiffer duster to wipe off the dust from the mirror, drawers, whereas she opened the curtains in a swish motion to see the sun rising. Four days ago, they all came to an agreement where they decided to go on an island that is safe and fun to have a vacation there. Certainly, the pink-haired kunoichi was looking forward to spending more time with her friends and she was asked if she remembered anything about the latest war that occurred. Gladly, she did. Her loved ones couldn't be even more relieved that she knows other things.

"Sakura! Breakfast is ready!" Mebuki called out from the living room.

"I'm coming, mother!" She replied back, then she glanced directly at her reflection and recalled back to the moment where she and Sasuke came to an embrace. A little blush was appearing on her cheeks, but she quickly shrugged it off.

In the main entrance of the leaf village, Naruto and Sasuke continued to discuss while crossing their own arms.

"How are you doing as a shadow Hokage and your journey of atonement?" The blonde-haired ninja asked casually.

"I'm doing well and I was trying to capture a huge form of figure, but I couldn't figure out what it looks like," the dark-haired ninja answered simply.

"Did you notice if it was a monster or an enemy lurking around the woods?" Naruto raised his eyebrow curiously.

"No. Why?" Sasuke asked blankly in concern.

"Before you came back, Sakura had been attacked by a creature and somehow, she lost her memories. I cannot say that they're all gone or just some parts of it," the blonde-haired ninja stated thoughtfully.

"No worries. In any way, I can help her remember. She's my dearest friend, you know," Sasuke said, smiling determinedly.

"Sounds like the Uchiha does have a heart after all," Naruto grinned smugly as he teased him.

"Shut up," the dark-haired ninja murmured, rolling his eyes in annoyance and trying to stifle laughter.

As they were traveling on the boat together, both of them were standing near the deck railing while the wind was blowing across their faces. The other guys were playing games, whereas the girls were brushing each other's hair.

"Hehe, so the necklace you bought for Sakura. Was it expensive or just average?" Naruto asked in puzzlement.

"Somewhere in between. Yeah, silver is one of her favorites," Sasuke answered with a nod.

"I see that, but you do know that she's in a relationship with Gaara, right?" The blonde-haired ninja reminded as he raised his peculiar eyebrows.

"Hey, guys!" A familiar voice called out to turn their attention towards the three sand siblings walking up to them.

"Kankuro! Temari! Gaara!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin.

"What is up, dudes?" the purple-faced ninja asked coolly.

"Nothing much. Just having a small casual talk as always," Sasuke smirked.

"I told him about Sakura's condition and he's willing to help us out," Naruto informed, but got nudged a little on the elbow by him. His eyes widened urgently and ignored his signal.

"Definitely fine. I mean, she's our friend. There's nothing wrong with that," Temari nodded encouragingly.

"I'm a little shy guy. It's been a long time since I haven't interacted with a lot of people in my life," the dark-haired ninja stated.
