Welcome everyone to my new story, Aijou and Amnesia! I'm sorry for not updating my other story, Our Way of Life, Not Theirs, I've just had such a terrible writers block for the story, and I still want it to be a good story. You know what I mean? Anyway, I believe this story is so much better written than any of my other stories, and definitely a lot less errors. Lol! For the title, Aijou means love for those who don't know. I also realized I was forgetting a disclaimer on my other stories, so what better time to start than now?
Disclamer: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. If I did, it'd be full of gay pairings. And less Akatsuki death.
Well, let's start!
~...~
It was dark. Oh, so very dark. A certain blonde was walking down the street, when he saw a flash of light in front of him. It was just the light pole. The blonde continued walking, gripping onto his slacks. He bit his lip hard, but not hard enough to break the skin. Shifting his eyes around, he looked to the right. Darkness. He looked to the left. Darkness. He looked forward. Darkness still. A loud bang was heard behind him, and he jolted to see the cause. It was a group of mice scurrying along the floor looking for food. The blonde let out a sigh of relief, but quickly put his guard up again in fear of being attacked by something or someone. He turned back around and continued to walk forward. It wasn't long before he heard an echoy voice behind him. "Dei..." The blond froze. His heart skipped a beat and then began to beat faster and faster.
He did not want to look behind him, but he didn't want to be afraid of his imagination. When he heard the voice again, he nearly screamed and began to run. He ran faster than he had in far too long and was out of breath far too fast. Breathing heavily, he slowed down to a complete stop and put his hands on his knees while bending over.
"Dei...dara..." The voice came again and the blonde froze once again.
He dropped to his knees and shook his head while muttering to himself. "This isn't real. It's all in my head." He breathed out slowly and back in. Once more back out and stood up. He closed his eyes for a few long seconds before saying aloud, "It's all in my head."
Deidara started walking forward again before opening his eyes, and when he saw a transparent white creature saying his name, he screamed so loud, his mind went blank. He ran forward and continued to yell.
Several minutes later, he collapsed on the ground. His mind was blank, and he was wheezing from running while out of breath. He had no clue where he was, but he saw light so he decided it was good enough. Right there on the cold hard ground, he passed out.

"...in shock. He could have woken up anytime from a few weeks ago to in a few months." A female voice said.
Nngh... where am I?
"Is that so? That is very unfortunate." There were shuffling sounds and the male spoke again. "Well, I'll be off. Don't want to disrupt anything."
Everything is so white... Too white. A horrible color.
"I gave him the shots a half an hour ago, so you're not interrupting anything." The woman spoke again and the footsteps stopped.
White? A hospital? What?
"Well, then I guess I could stay a little bit longer." The footsteps began again and they got louder until they stopped and there was a thump in the corner of the room, as if he sat down, and another thump as if he set a bag on a seat next to him.
"How..."
The two people jerked their heads to the bed with white cover sheets.
"How long... Was I out?" The blond tried to sit up, but the nurse rushed over to him and told him to lie down again. He obeyed, and looked around the white room when his eyes landed on the man who had just sat down, but was now standing.
"Three weeks. Well, three weeks and two days. Today is the second, and it's around 6 at night." The nurse answered.
"..." The blonde looked at the ceiling and seemed to be in a deep thought.
"I have to go through the standard questions now. Please answer them honestly." The blonde looked at the nurse and nodded. "Ok. First off, how many fingers am I holding up?" She held up her hand.
"Three."
"Good. What is your name?"
Deidara looked at her with wide eyes and tried to say something but his throat felt suddenly dry. He shook his head instead.
"Not good." The nurse sighed and said, "Amnesia... Alright. Well, over there is the one who found you. I need to give a report to the head doctor and then I'll be back."
The blonde nodded and the nurse left. The blonde slowly looked up to the ceiling and down to the man in the corner to the far left from where the blonde was laying.
"..."
"..."
The two were silent until the blonde spoke up, "Do you know me?"
The other man looked up and met his blue eyes. The blonde saw his eyes waver a little before looking away.
"Yes..."
"Then who... who am I? Who are you? What happened to me?"
The man sighed and looked at the ground. "I am Sasori... We know each other very well." The redhead stood up and walked over to the white bed with the blonde laying in it. He placed his hand on top of the other's and leaned down to meet the his face only a few centimeters apart. He could see the blonde turning cherry red, and the redhead smirked. Instead of kissing him, though, Sasori pulled the blonde into a warm embrace, saying "I'm sorry."
Once Sasori let go, which was not for a few long minutes, the blonde asked him, "What are you sorry for?"
"For not protecting you. If I was there on that day, you wouldn't be here."
"That... day? What do you mean, Saso-"
"I'm back! The nurse said in a sing-song voice.
The blonde's face fell at the sight of her and said, "what?" with a bored tone.
"Well, the head doctor says that you have to go through all the physical tests before you can leave. The tests are one sex session with the doctor every day for ten days. If the head doctor says you pass, then you get sent to a whore house. He also said that if you fail, you have to continue the sex sessions until he is satisfied." Her face became creepy and almost psychotic while talking and the blonde felt shivers down his spine.
"-me? Did you hear me?" The nurse moved over to the blonde and lightly touched his back.
Responding to the touch, the blonde jumped and slapped her hand away. He gave a confused look to himself, and apologized to the surprised nurse.
"So how many failed the test?" Deidara asked.
"What are you talking about?" The brunette nurse asked completely confused.
"The physical tests. The ten sessions for ten days... Passing and leaving, or failing an more sessions..."
"Is that what you heard me say?"
The blonde nodded.
"Well, then I have to add two more things to your list. Delusional, and jumpy." She sighed. "Do you remember anything?
"No..." Deidara gave a face of deep thought before brightening,"I remember a tree."
"Like what kind of tree?" Sasori interrupted.
"Hmmm. A large tree. It has a lot of bark, and it's really thick... Climbing... Clouds... A flag... Carving... Our... Names..." Deidara said slowly, trying to exploit the image in his mind.
"..." Sasori looked down in deep thought.
"Do you know the tree?" The nurse looked at Sasori.
The redhead nodded.
"This boy needs to rest up for a few more days, just in case, but once he is released, can you take him there?"
Sasori nodded again. Out of habit, he looked at his watch. "Oh shit, I'm going to be late!" He shouted too loud and the nurse looked dissaprovingly at him.
The redhead grabbed his belongings and started to leave the door when the blonde shouted at him.
"Wait!"
The redhead turned around and looked at him. "Hm?"
The blonde's face turned red, and he slowly said,"W-will you... c-come here to-tomorrow?"
The redhead gave a slight smile and exited.
The nurse looked between the two, wondering what was happening but didn't think on it too long when she remembered that she had to finish her questions.
"Do you remember having any past associations with alcohol?" The nurse asked reading her list of questions. After a moment of silence, she looked up to see the blonde looking out the window with a smile on his face. He looked peaceful, and the nurse sighed and exited the room saying, "I'll come back tomorrow and ask."
The blonde continued to look out the window, thinking about the redhead: Sasori.
