"Lost memories and uncertain feelings"
(A/N): Hello everyone! This is xxMay-Hyuugaxx speaking! (for those who are reading this on Sabaku-no-Nav's account) I don't have much to say… but this story will be different than my previous ones. Of course it would be since this fanfiction is not only done by myself. My friend (Naveah), if you have read "Shadow and Sand", wrote with me everyday in school. Between classes, break time, free periods, and even the day we went on a school trip… Yeah, obsessed Naruto fans. And because of that, you will not find this story only on my account. (unless you are already reading this from my friend's account) You will also find an exact copy on my friend's account… which like I mentioned before is, Sabaku-no-Nav.
Another pointer, the structure of this fic will be very much different than how I usually write. Seeing as my friend and I wrote this while we were at school, we couldn't find an easier alternative than to write it as a conversation. A piece of paper being passed on from me to her every second or so… Sound fun? .
This was written for more than one reason,
One: Boredom, we are both not the type to sit in class and listen to lessons.
Two: Our dedication to our favorite characters in Naruto.
Three: An act of friendship.
I hope this clears things up if you find the fanfiction confusing.
Oh! By the way…. To those who know my discontinued fanfic, "The Blossoming of May Hyuuga", this fanfic will give you the basic idea for the replacement I have in mind for said fanfic.
Disclaimer: We both agree with the fact that Masashi Kishimoto looks nothing like us…
Genre: Romance/ Angst/ Drama… (not sure if that's in order)
Rating: T… for slight use of language and fluffy moments.

Chapter 1
Yukiyouma May
A half human, half demon, whose life knows nothing but sadness and lost hope. The first 12 years of her life suddenly vanished from her memory, the little yet important moments she had spent with loved ones no longer lingering in her pure heart. Being 15 with no one but a best friend to keep her company was not easy. Especially when people did not accept her for whom she was.

Hashimoto Natsume
A girl with a mysterious clan name, she was left in a deserted desert at the age of 5. Natsume grew up from a normal girl to a person full of bitterness and selfishness. Although her hands knew nothing but to kill in the past, she was able to grow close to a few selected people.
One, a girl with a similar past as hers. And two, a boy two years older than herself and the son of the man that had found and saved her from that desert on that fateful day.

Neji's flashback
May: -is walking happily around training grounds-
Neji: -notices May walking from a few feet away-
May: -shouts- ECHOOO! -waits then smiles when a faint echo returns to her ears-
Neji: -smirks-
May: -giggles to self-…-continues to walk-
Neji: -walks up to May- what are you doing?
May: -turns around in surprise-… -smiles-… Neji-sama!
Neji: -starts to walk slowly beside May- you like echoes?
May:-nods happily- Mhm…they're nice to hear…
Neji: -looks at May calmly, a ghost of a smile appearing on his face- …indeed…
May: -smiles happily, eyes widening slightly-… Neji-sama! You smiled! -laughs then glomps Neji-
Neji: Hn… get off…
May: -pouts then gets off-… Gomene, Neji-sama… -smiles-

May: -eyes widen-… -stays silent while tears travel down eyes-
Neji: -wraps arms around May's waist … I understand if you don't feel the same way… but at least… let me hold you for awhile…
May: -stays silent, letting Neji hold her-… Ne-Neji-sama... slowly puts arms around Neji-
Neji:… -looks at May with arms still around her waist- do you feel the same way?

(In Sunagakure)
Gaara:… you're back… -closes eyes and folds arms-
Natsume: Don't want me back?
Gaara: -smirks-… -walks up to Natsume and slightly kisses forehead-… hmm…
Natsume: -smiles-… so what you been up to?
Gaara: -shrugs- running the village… -smirks-
Natsume: Hn… lucky…
Gaara: Hm, you?
Natsume: Nothing much… I was just talking to May about our past… how we became friends…
Gaara: …hn…-closes eyes again-
Natsume: She's lost because of it… she really doesn't know what's going on… It's been three years since I've seen real life in her. Plus, she's starting to ignore me. I just suddenly left today… but I will still try to help her regain her memories…
Gaara: I see… who else is suffering because of Yukiyouma's condition?
Natsume: Hyuuga Neji… they loved each other, but she doesn't even remember the old respectful name she used to call him anymore. He's been heart broken for three years…
Gaara: He should have enough strength to see Yukiyouma like this…
Natsume: Well, -sits on nearby desk- he's acting normal in front of her… but he's suffering from the inside…
Gaara: Any progress after 3 years?
Natsume: May isn't regaining anything and Hyuuga can't get over it… he seems to get worse every passing day. He loved her VERY much, plus he keeps on getting memories about her… so no… -lies down on desk-… I'm trying my best to help… but I'm useless.
Gaara: You can only do so much… The rest is up to them and their hearts…
Natsume: Maybe… but what if nothing changes?
Gaara: Does he still love her? -takes a step closer to the desk Natsume is on-
Natsume: Yup…-still lying on desk while sighing-
Gaara: Just keep your hopes up… -leans down and kisses Natsume lovingly-
Natsume: -looks at Gaara and smiles- It's no wonder I love you… -puts arms around Gaara's neck-
Gaara: Hn… -kisses Natsume again-

May: -looks around apathetically-…
Sasuke: -stares down at May from tree-… Yukiyouma…
May: -turns around-… Uchiha-san?
Sasuke: Hn… -jumps down tree and stands in front of May- What are you doing?
May: -smiles-… I… don't know…
Sasuke: Hn… you're really out of it…
May: -smiles gently at Sasuke- I guess so…
Sasuke: -smirks- Heading somewhere?
May: Hmm… I don't know… maybe… -smiles-… and Uchiha-san? What is he doing?
Sasuke: Nothing… -starts to walk away-
May:… Oh… Ano, I hope… you don't regret coming back… I… am happy you're back… -looks down shyly-
Sasuke: -looks at May from afar and smirks- Hn… -disappears-…
May: -smiles weakly to herself then walks home-

Love… an emotion many claim to understand. Sadly enough, there are those who could care less. Those who seem to play it as a game. And then there are those who truly know what their hearts want; what the emotion really is. And although they know love is bittersweet, not always happy and good moments being shared between loved ones to remember, they hold on… protecting their loved ones and securing the powerful feeling of… love…
May: Hee hee… so? How was it? Anyways, like I said… this was not at all done only by me… in fact, my friend and I shared the characters… making it seem interesting to both of us.
Oh, and the two Out characters? They're my friend and I. May… as those who are already familiar with me… is no one else but myself, Natsume obviously… is my friend. We tried to keep the characters in tact… but hey! We do this in school! We risk our lives writing lines of stuff then passing the paper along…
To those who don't like the fact that we put ourselves with our favorite characters, (Mine is Neji, Gaara is Naveah's), I'm really sorry… Everyone has a favorite character right? And it's only normal to have fantasies right? . But if you like the story yet still don't like the fact that we might like the same favorite characters as you, you can always put yourself in the place of either of the two OC characters.
If you are to flame, I advice you to just stop reading, instead of criticizing over the limit.
Thank you for reading the work of my friend and I, we both hope that it's pleasing to your tastes.
Reviews are very much appreciated; flames on the other hand, will be used to cook every and any type of ramen there is.
May: Take care and I hope to see you in the next chapter…
Nav: Che… Go and never come back...
