ANFA (A note from author)- Sooooooo this is YAOI. You have been warned. Basically the story is about Neji forgetting what happened at a party with himself and Sasuke. He will eventually remember which will lead to all kinds of drama. This is linked to another story of mine which was a Bleach crossover. This one will have mentions of Ichigo and the others but as of now they won't be directly involved in the story. Also when Neji had flashbacks of the party it will be a little hazy for him so he'll have trouble matching voices with faces and what not. I really needed a story I could just have fun with which is why I decided to do this one. I'll probably finish my story, The Side Effect, before posting another chapter so if you like this bare with me til I get that done. Other than that I hope this story turns out ok, I've tried writing a couple other yaoi's and didn't like how they turned out but enough of my ramblings. Enjoy ;)
Neji Hyuga had a headache. It was the first thing he realized when he opened his eyes. Normally he'd be up and getting ready for class but at the moment he only wanted to close his eyes again. It felt like maybe the headache was going away until his little sister bolted into the room squealing.
"Neji! Guess what?" She didn't wait for an answer "Daddy said I can have a birthday party!" He groaned in annoyance before pulling the blankets over his head. A memory suddenly came back to him
"Neji I'm going to get food, you want anything?" Someone asked him
"No thanks, I'll wait out here until you get back" He said. He stood in a beautiful garden watching the night sky.
"Magnificent isn't it?" Another voice said standing beside him
"It is"
"I love being in nature. It can be much better than people"
"The superstar model turned doctor thinks that?" Neji asked with a bit of sarcasm
"When Sasuke wants to be alone he sits out here" His companion ignored the comment
"To be honest the only reason why I'm here is because Naruto bugged me. You know your brother and I don't like each other much"
"Do I? Tonight should be fun then"
As quickly as the memory came, it also faded just as fast leaving Neji with an even worse headache. He thought for a moment about the person who had talked with him in the garden. It was probably Itachi, Sasuke's brother.
"Why aren't you listening?" Hanabi whined.
"Leave him alone, he fell pretty hard yesterday" Hinata said. He pulled the blankets down to see Hinata standing in the doorway, her school uniform on and a book bag in hand. She dropped it on the floor and came to sit on the bed. They weren't technically brother and sister, they were actually cousins but Neji's parents died when he was three so he was taken in and raised by his uncle. People even thought Hinata and Neji were twins. She smiled.
"How do you feel?"
"Terrible, my head hurts. What happened to me?"
"You don't remember?" She cocked her head slightly "Mom isn't going to like this. Maybe we should've taken you to the hospital"
"Wait! What?" He sat up.
"What DO you remember?"
"Well..." He sat quietly for a few seconds before answering. "I went to Uchiha's party because Naruto wouldn't leave me alone about it. I remember everything up to talking with Sakura and that's it" Hinata's eyes widened "Did I get drunk?"
"No... I mean you had a little to drink. I could tell when you came home but that isn't what did it" Neji arched an eyebrow. He was notorious among his friends for not being able to hold alcohol well the few times he had it so he wondered what could be worse than that. "When you came home you slipped while outside and hit your head on a rock. You've been out since late last night"
"Damn, me slipping did this?" He put his head in his hands
"We didn't think you'd have memory loss"
"Naruto and his friend are here" Hanabi announced before skipping out the room. Sure enough Naruto and Sasuke came in some seconds later. Both had their uniforms on. Apparently they had stopped by on the way to class. Hinata greeted them while Neji sulked. Usually he was the calm, collected one. Having memory loss can change things.
"What's wrong with you Neji?" Naruto grinned. He had taken a seat on a chair near Neji's desk while Sasuke leaned against the wall.
"He doesn't remember what happened to him last night" Hinata relayed the story of how he hit his head.
"Wow" Naruto laughed
"I don't find this funny Naruto" Neji said coldly
"I'm sorry, its just usually people might forget because they got drunk. In your case you were just a klutz" He laughed even harder getting death glares from the boy he was laughing at.
"You don't remember anything?" Sasuke asked quietly. Neji thought he saw a flash of some kind of emotion on his face however as quickly as it was there it was gone.
"No Uchiha" Sasuke actually seemed to flinch slightly when he called him by his last name. What was wrong with him? He and Sasuke weren't exactly friends but they weren't enemies anymore. For the longest time Neji had despised him for hurting his sister when the two dated. He was always cheating on her. Even when they broke up Neji didn't like him but Hinata forgave him, they had even become friends. Over time Neji's anger had started to fade though that didn't mean he was trying to become best buddies with him.
"So what happens now?" Naruto had stopped laughing though he still had a stupid grin on his face.
"Well I'll tell my Mom, he probably shouldn't go to school today" She grabbed her bag. The boys moved to follow her. "Just relax Neji, I'll get the work you missed" He nodded and with a small smile she was gone. Naruto waved before going out while Sasuke paused at the door as if he wanted to say something.
"What is it? It was your party, did I do something stupid?" He asked. Sasuke simply shook his head and walked out. Neji spent much of the morning trying to remember what had happened. He texted TenTen and Lee, his best friends, for answers. They had no clue since they had been forced into helping their grandmother and hadn't gone to the party with him. He texted Sakura who only said they had been talking before Neji had gone off to find Naruto. By noon he was frustrated since when he texted Naruto the blond told him he never saw Neji the rest of the night since he became absorbed in a Street Fighter tournament at the party with a bunch of other guys. Eventually he gave up and simply stayed in bed. A maid brought him lunch. He had at first refused to come from under the blankets. When she threatened to tell his mother he gave in. As he stared into his bowl of soup another memory came to him
"I want you" The figure uttered arrogantly
"What?" Neji genuinely didn't hear them
"I said I want you!" The voice said in annoyance
"Bullshit, you must be drunk. I'm not your type"
"How would you know what my 'type' is?" Suddenly Neji was slammed against the wall. The figure seemed so familiar...
"Damn" He whispered snapping out of his memory. He had been so close to figuring it out. Deciding that staying in bed was a bad idea Neji climbed out. He changed into sweats and a tee shirt then headed to the private dojo his father had built for him connected to the house. Neji, Lee and other students recruited by Lee's dad trained at the dojo. Just as he reached it he felt his pocket vibrate from his phone. Sliding it open he saw TenTen, Lee's sister, had left him a text that said
B over after class. Naruto told us about u hitting ur head before Hinata could. Lee told Dad who now wants to come over and get u feeling "the joy of youth again". See u then. Oh and Uchiha looked especially pissed at lunch. U idiots get into it when they stopped by earlier? Naruto said he had been upset since they left ur house
Neji thought back on their conversation that morning, not that it was much of one. He shrugged off Sasuke's moodiness. It wasn't his problem then went to stretching. After that he went into practicing his karate. He wanted to be perfect for a tournament in the summer. He lost track of time as he practiced. When he finally come to a pause sometime later he was hot, slightly tired and much more relaxed than he had been earlier. He pulled his long hair into a messy bun.
"Its about time" Neji turned around to see Sasuke still in his school uniform watching with crossed arms from the doorway. Neji rolled his eyes then grabbed his water bottle off the floor.
"What do you want?"
"I left a textbook over here before. Came to get it on my way home" He answered
"How long have you been watching me?"
"Long enough" Sasuke said cryptically. Neji eyed him warily as he drank his water.
"NEJI! MY BOY! GLAD TO SEE YOU TAKING IT UPON YOURSELF TO PRACTICE!" Guy, clad in a green jogging outfit, yelled from behind Sasuke causing Neji to choke on his water. TenTen laughed as she walked in and slapped him on the back.
"My friend we were worried" Lee said. The other students started to come in. Neji then realized Sasuke had been there but when he looked for him he was gone.
"If you're looking for Uchiha, Hinata pulled him away to talk" Lee whispered while his father went to the front of the class. Neji nodded and tried to look as if he cared less. The truth was he felt something important had happened between them.
"Why do I get the bad feeling it had to do with the other night?" He mumbled. He didn't know how right he was.
