Chapter 1
Who am I?
Kyoko stared up at the ceiling. She'd been in the hospital for a week now. There was a sudden snore that came from the mouth of the yellow haired boy. What was his name again? Oh yeah…Naruto. Did she really know him before she lost her memories? Naruto and the other boy (Was it Sasuke?) had been visiting a lot during the day. Sometimes Sasuke would come visit during the night, and Kyoko would wake up in the morning with him fast asleep on the chair next to the bed. He was weird, that boy. He didn't say much, but he sure seemed to care a lot about Kyoko. What had happened between them? Kyoko worried all the time about what she was going to do when she got out of the hospital. Where would she stay? Can she trust anybody enough? For all she knew, these were practically all strangers to her. Naruto snored really loud again and rolled over on the chair. He and Sasuke had spent the night again. Sasuke seemed very annoyed when he found Naruto here too. She didn't think they like each other much. They never argued in her room, but she hears them outside sometimes arguing over who's going to come see Kyoko today.
Sasuke had been forced to sleep on the floor, and he was beginning to stir.
"…Kyoko…" Sasuke said still half asleep. Kyoko eyed him suspiciously.
"What am I too you?" Kyoko asked out loud. Sasuke suddenly sat up from the floor, and saw Kyoko was awake.
"You're awake! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to fall asleep!" Sasuke said apologizing.
"It's okay, everyone needs some sleep. I can't blame you for that"
"…hmm…" Sasuke muttered. "I said I'd keep watch over you though"
What was with this guy? Didn't he have a life of his own?
"Don't worry. I don't think anyone is going to come in and suddenly attack me in the hospital, right?"
"I guess so" Sasuke said, but he still kept a close eye on me.
Finally the other boy woke up.
"Hey, everyone's awake already! Did something happen?" Naruto asked.
"Idiot, we were going to take turns keeping watch. You fell asleep on you turn!"
"Oh yeah…sorry Kyoko"
"Ummm…it's fine really" Kyoko mumbled.
"No it's not, something could have happened!" Sasuke said.
"What do you mean? I'm not in danger, am I?" Kyoko said scared.
"No, it's just a precaution Kyoko" Sasuke said soothingly, stroking her hair. Kyoko shied away from his touch. Who did he think he was? She barely knew him, what gave him the right to do things like that already!
"Sorry" Sasuke mumbled, and dropped his hands.
Suddenly the nurse walked in.
"Good morning Kyoko…hello boys…" She obviously didn't like the fact the two of them had spent the night here. "How are you feeling today?"
"Much better"
"That's good dear." She came over to the bed and checked Kyoko's pulse.
"I think you're already to go home today!"
"Really? That's a relief, but …home…" But Kyoko didn't really have a home to go to.
"Well, we've set up a little house for you to stay in. But you need to make sure you get plenty of rest now"
"Oh I will, Thank you" The nurse nodded and walked out. Kyoko went and changed in the bathroom, but when she came out Naruto and Sasuke were both there waiting for her again.
"What are you guys still doing here? You don't have to watch me now, I'm all better!"
"I thought you might like some help finding your new place, but if you don't need me…" Sasuke said starting to walk out of the door with a smile on his face.
"Wait no! I'm sorry for being rude. It's just you guys are still like strangers to me"
"Well, we'll have to change that won't we" Sasuke said smirking.
"Come on let's go!" Naruto said and dragged Kyoko out of the room.
"Wait my stuff!"
"I got it" Sasuke said.
They didn't have to walk very far; it only took them 10 minutes to get to her new home. It was a one story house with just the necessities. It had three rooms, the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.
"It's so twee! I think I'll like it here!" Kyoko said looking at the house with admiration.
"Well that's good then" Sasuke said and smiled at her.
"Well, see you soon Kyoko!" Naruto said and ran off. That boy always seemed to be running off somewhere.
"Okay, thanks for your help!" She waved goodbye, and turned to go in her new house, but something was blocking the way. She looked up and saw Sasuke smirking down at her. She blushed and said "Umm, you're kind of in my way, so excuse me"
She tried to push by, but he still wouldn't budge.
"Can I get by please" She said this time, pushing with a little more force. He still wouldn't move. She stood back and said "Okay what is it? What do you want!"
Sasuke just laughed. " Kyoko, I don't intend to ever leave you alone again. Not after what happened last time"
"What? B-but, what happened last time"
Sasuke froze, and his eyes went dark, like he'd said too much.
"It's nothing to worry about. I'm here now, so there's no need to worry" Sasuke said holding onto her shoulders. Kyoko shrugged him off.
"What do mean? What happened?" Kyoko shouted angrily. "Why won't anyone tell me anything? I feel like I'm left out of some big secret, and it's about me!"
"We just don't want to worry you yet, you're still recovering. You hit you head pretty badly."
"Huh? …So, whatever happened to me… was the reason I was in the hospital?"
"…Yes, but I promise everything will be explained soon enough" Sasuke wrapped his arms around her.
"But why not now?"
"It's better, if you start all over" Sasuke had obviously realized he had said the wrong thing, because Kyoko suddenly went rigid in his arms.
"What's that supposed to mean? Just-just who…was…I?" Kyoko said looking up at Sasuke. When he didn't answer, Kyoko wiggled out of his arms, and ran inside slamming the door.
