Cards and Books

{Drama Club Room}

"So wait, you're telling us you have amnesia!?" Kyou exclaimed as everyone stared at Naruto in shock.

"Yeah, according to my grandmother, the accident had caused some damage to my brain. She called it Retrograde Amnesia, but from what she said; my memories will come back with the right triggers." Naruto responded.

Tomoyo spoke next, "So you are saying that when you saw me in the hallway, I was one of these triggers?" Naruto nodded before answering.

"Yeah, and just before you, Tomoya had triggered some of my past as well. You were the focus of my high school and love life, and Tomoya was the trigger for my middle school. I remember some side details like when I called Nagisa, Nagi-chan, but there are still many things that are still a blank."

"So that's why you couldn't remember me or Kyou." Ryou deduced.

"Right," Naruto looked at the people all around the room "I am sorry that I forgot about you, but I want you guys to know that I am trying to regain my memories as fast as I can."

Nagisa was the first to speak, "Don't worry Naru-kun, if you already got some of your memories back then it is more than possible for you to remember anything."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Tomoyo, who was sitting close to Naruto, went up to him and gave him a hug. He wrapped his arms around her and they stayed like that for a few moments before they were interrupted by aww's surrounding the room. The couple separated with small blushes on their faces as the other girls in the room giggled a little. Naruto looked at Nagisa as she smiled at him, he didn't know how; but he knew her smile was a little forced.

"Nagi-chan, I-" He started to say.

"Naru-kun, it's alright. I know this must be harder on you because of all the people you forgot." Nagisa interrupted.

"But still, from what I heard; you and I were close. So I can't help but feel like I need to make it up to you somehow." Naruto said as he stared at the ground in sadness.

"I have an idea." At this Naruto looked up at her.

"What?"

"I don't want you to force yourself, so call me Nagi-chan when you get your memories back alright?" Nagisa was giving a comforting smile as she said that. The others were a little surprised at that; while Naruto nodded. The room was filled with silence; for about five seconds before Sunohara spoke out.

"Well anyway, since we are all here. What should we do for the festival?" The others looked at him and stared, "What?"

"How can you think of that when we were talking about something serious just now?" Tomoya questioned as Kyou hit Sunohara on the head with a textbook.

"Hey! It's not like the guy's memories will fix themselves if we talk about it; we should focus on the festival coming up and then focus on helping him get back his memories! It is only a few weeks away!" Sunohara exclaimed, a giant lump forming on his head.

The others looked surprised for a second before turning to each other; Tomoyo was surprised she forgot about that for a moment, especially since she was the Student Coucil President. Naruto looked around the room to see everyone was thinking.

"I think bleach-boy is right, my thing can wait for a bit. You guys just focus on whatever you were going to do. I can leave you guys to planning." He got up to walk towards the door and as he got closer he heard Kotomi speak out.

"You can always join the Drama Club." The other members looked at her, "If you were allowed to come into the school than that makes you one of the students that attend here." The group looked at Tomoyo and Nagisa for confirmation; they both nodded their heads. "Also if you were in a coma, than it is more than possible that you were not part of a club, so you can be a part of ours, since almost everyone here has some connection to you; it might also help you remember."

Naruto thought about it before looking at a few of the people in the room, he could see that they were mentally asking him to join; it was written on their faces. Naruto sighed a little before nodding his head; he could hear shouts of excitement.

"We got a new member to join." Nagisa cheered.

This continued on until they decided to go through the props and other that , their advisor had brought. He seemed to be aware of Naruto's condition from his parents and welcomed him to the club, before explaining details of certain things, such as a keyboard that can be used for music effects. Sunohara had tried to be funny with the keyboard, but that ended with him getting punched in the face by both Kyou and Tomoyo. After that Tomoyo had to leave to continue her council president duties for the day, she gave Naruto a kiss before walking out the door. While they were going through the supplies, Tomoya brought a question to Nagisa.

"Nagisa." He said trying to grab her attention.

"Yes?" She asked

"A long time ago, you said there was some play you wanted to do. What's it like? Can you tell me the name at least?" He question, Nagisa looked to the ground with a little sadness; everyone stopped moving to hear more about this play.

"Actually…I'm not exactly sure." That answer surprised everyone.

{On the way to Naruto's house}

"So wait, Nagisa says she knows what play she wants to do for the festival; but she doesn't know the name of it?" Tomoyo asked as she and Naruto walked to his house.

"Yeah, there wasn't enough time for her to give us details so we decided to meet on Sunday to discuss it and who will be in charge of what. Kotomi-san had suggested we make it into a picnic while we're at it and I asked I could invite you. So are you free this weekend?"

Tomoyo looked at the sky in thought before nodding her head in confirmation.

"Yes I should be free; I would like to come if it's not any trouble." She answered.

Naruto shook his head, "It's not going to be trouble, Nagisa has no issues with you coming. Besides you the Student Council President right? So technically that means you also have to know about what most of the clubs are doing for the festival to make sure they will not be inappropriate." He pointed out.

"I guess your right about that. All right, I'll go too." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Great! Let's go to my house; I bet my family will be glad to see you and that some of my memories are back." Naruto said, returning a smile.

The reunited couple walked to Naruto's house; Tomoyo holding Naruto's arm the entire way.

-Timeskip-

It was now the day of the picnic and the Drama Club gotten together at the park. Almost everyone had brought something to the picnic, and now they were chatting happily as they ate. When they finished eating they decided to discuss the play.

"Okay Nagisa, now that we are done eating; what is this play we're doing?" Kyou asked.

"It's the same play; I may not know the title, but it's a story I heard when I was young." Nagisa said.

"We should still do it, even if we don't know the name as long as know how it goes then we will be fine." Tomoya added; the others nodded at that.

"Was there anything about this story in the library?" Naruto asked.

"Sunohara and I had looked, but there was nothing there." Tomoya answered.

"Okay Nagisa, what is this story about?" Kotomi asked

"Yes, please tell us." Ryou said to which Nagisa gave a nod.

"Like I said before, I heard this a long time ago so I don't remember the name or if I read it in a picture book or someone told me or what. But anyway, the story is about a little girl who is all alone in the world; it is very lonely for her, very sad and very difficult. There is no one else in the world, but one day she decides to make a friend. She takes a bunch of odd and end to make a mechanical doll, and then as if her wish was answered, the doll begins to come to life. The girl's loneliness begins to go away…" Nagisa described as the other listen to her story.

'This story sound very familiar.' Naruto and Tomoya thought to themselves as they continued to listen to her until Kyou interrupted.

"Nagisa, do you think you could write a script?" She asked

"Hmm. Maybe; I think I can do that." Nagisa answered with a nod.

"Great; that way we can know what exact scenes to do sound and such." Ryou said. "Now all we need to do is assign duties to who do what."

"Well since it is Nagisa's play, she should be the one to do the acting." Kotomi suggested, everyone agreed.

"I'll do my best you guys." Nagisa said.

"That leaves sound, lighting, producer and stage director." Kyou noted.

"Oh I want to be the producer or the director!" Sunahara exclaimed enthusiastically.

"No way in hell." Kyou and Naruto said at the same time. They looked at each other for a second before nodding at each other.

"I think Tomoya should be producer." Nagisa gave her opinion.

"Me/Him!?" Tomoya and Sunahara shouted.

"Well…Tomoya is more reliable so that would make sense." Kyou said as she nodded to herself "All for Tomoya being producer?"

"Yes!" Almost everyone voted in agreement.

"But, but…Fine." Tomoya relented.

"Okay, I think Kotomi and I can handle sound since we will be able to handle the keyboard equipment." Ryou said as Kotomi nodded.

"You two will be the best choice since I think we all agree that Sunohara should not go near that thing again." Tomoyo stated much to Sunohara's dismay.

"Okay so that leaves lights and director; I think Naruto should do the directing, since it will be easy for him to do." Nagisa said, Naruto nodded at that.

"Then that leaves Sunohara and me to do the stage lighting." Kyou stated.

"Great, so everyone has something to do." Tomoya spoke.

{At the end of the meeting}

The group had decided to split so they could enjoy the rest of the free day that they had left before they started preparation and they would have almost no time to do whatever. Nagisa had reminded Naruto that he and his family would be coming over for dinner, which Naruto actually looked forward to. Naruto was waiting at the gate for Tomoyo, who was stopping at the fountains to get a drink, when he started hear someone talking; he turn around and saw 3 boys talking to a girl who look like Ryou, and she did not look comfortable.

"Come on babe, just hang out with us for a bit" one of the guys said

"N-no thank you, I am w-waiting f-for someone" Ryou said trying her best not to be scared but then the other two guys next to the leader grabbed Ryou's arms roughly. When Naruto saw this his head suddenly got a lot of pain before dying done.

"Don't worry Ryou-tan; Kyou-tan and I will always protect you."

"You promise?"

{Play Inoue Joe Closer English version I feel like it go with this part}

Naruto start to walk towards the guys with his hair covering his eyes, he grabbed the leader's shoulder, catching his attention and the thugs watched him, wondering what he was going to do.

"Huh! What do you want punk, get l-" was all the leader could say before Naruto hit him right in the nose, breaking it, jumped a little and kicking the leader's head; sending the guy a few feet away.

"Why you little ass" said the 2nd thug as he ran at Naruto, sending a punch forward.

But Naruto got a hold of the thug's fist and squeezed it really hard, breaking it; Naruto pulled the thug's arm, making the thug come forward, and punched him in the stomach, right where his solar plexus was, causing the thug to pass out. He threw him at the 3rd thug who was trying to hit him from behind, making them slide towards their leader.

"Who the hell is this guy" asked the 1st thug holding his nose

"Get out of here." Naruto said with a little venom in his tone, a shadowy image of a ten-tail creature appeared behind him, though the thugs were the only ones that saw it.

"Wait! His eyes are silver! N-no way, he the Orange Beast of the South" the 2nd thug said with fear as he picked up his unconscious comrade.

"So the Saint Beasts are back, we better tell the boss" the 3rd thug said as they all ran away.

As Naruto turned around to face Ryou, an old memory that was similar to what just happened came to him. It was actually how he met Ryou and Kyou.

{End song}

{Flashback}

"Hey, are you ok?"" asked a young Naruto holding out his hand the girl, who was a young Ryou nodded and took his hand.

"I'm Naruto Namikze, what's your name?" ask the young Naruto

"I-I a-am Ryou Fujibayashi." said the shy young Ryou, "T-thank you for helping me."

"It alright, I hate bullies. Why were they picking on you anyway?"

Ryou looked away for a second before showing his a deck of cards. He stared at them for a bit before realizing they were regular playing cards.

"Playing cards?" Naruto asked.

"I-I'm actually learning how to use them for fortune telling." Ryou stated as she closed her eye, waiting for him to start laughing at her.

"That's so awesome!" Naruto exclaimed causing Ryou to jump in surprise, "I don't know why they pick on you for that, but that is so cool. I bet your friends think that too."

"…I don't really have any friends." Ryou started to tear up, "The only person I show it to is my sister Kyou."

"Then I'll be your friend, Ryou-tan" the young Naruto said with a smile, "So you can't say you have none."

"R-really? You mean it?" Ryou happily inquired. "You'll be my friend?"

"Of course, I never go back on my word." He said before he saw Ryou start to cry, "Hey, why are you-" The next thing the young Naruto knew, he was sent flying by a book hitting him in the head.

"What do you think you're doing to my precious sister!?" An angry young voice called out.

Naruto quickly got up to see two Ryous staring at him; one had a worried look and the second one had an angry look on her face. He looked back and forth, confused.

"There are two of you?!"

"Of course not, I'm her older sister Kyou, now why were you making my sister cry?" Kyou demanded.

"No sis, he wasn't doing anything bad. Please don't be mad at my new friend." Ryou cried out, worried about her sister and new friend; making Kyou pause.

"New friend?" Kyou asked. Seeing her sister nod her head and after hearing about what had happened, she turned toward Naruto. "I just I should say I'm sorry…"

Naruto shook his head, "You don't have to, and you were just being protecting your sister. That's nothing to apologize for." Naruto said with a smile, making Kyou and Ryou smile back.

"Anyway I'm Kyou Fujibayashi, Ryou's older twin sister. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, I'm Naruto Namikaze." Naruto replied, "Do you guys want to go to the playground?"

His answer was a nod; the three kids had a small race, laughing all the way there.

{End flashback}

Naruto walked toward ryou

"Are you alright Ryou-tan" Naruto said holding out his hand like he did when they first met as Ryou's eyes go widen.

"N-Naruto, you remember me?" Ryou asked, taking his hand.

But of course Ryou-tan, like I said back then, you're like a princess who needs a knight and I will always be there to protect you." said Naruto as he helped her back to her feet.

"But a knight is only dedicated to protecting their Queen, and Tomoyo is yours." Ryou reply looking down

"A knight can be dedicated to protecting his friends as well, and you are a close friend, remember." he said ducking, dodging an air born book moving at Mach Speed. "Hi Kyou-tan you won't get me this time." Naruto said, blocking a flying kick.

"You idiot! I told you…to stop…calling me…that." Kyou froze as she registered what Naruto had said. "Wait did you just say."

"Yeah, I remember you and Ryou now; I guess unknowingly reenacting how we met was one of the triggers. I remember some of my childhood, but there are still some blank areas." Naruto explained as the twins started to smile.

"Alright, you're starting to go back to normal! You'll get all your memories back in no time!" Kyou cheered as she wrapped her arm around Naruto's neck.

"Yeah!" Naruto cheered as well.

"Am I interrupting something?" a very slightly irritated voice called out, they turned slightly to see Tomoyo looking at them with a blank look. But Naruto could tell that she was annoyed and was a little worried and quickly attempted to defuse the bomb that was sure to come.

"It's not what it looks like." But as he said that Tomoyo was already walking away, ignoring Naruto pleas, "Come one Tomoyo-chan, wait!" He ran after her leaving the twins alone.

"Um…Sis?" Ryou finally spoke.

"Yeah?" Kyou replied

"Do you think he'll be okay?"

"Yeah I'm sure Naruto will be okay."

{With Naruto and Tomoyo}

"This is definitely not okay." Naruto said.

Naruto had finally caught up will the miffed Tomoyo and tried to explain to her what had happened when she was getting a drink. She was a bit stubborn for a bit before Naruto had to agree to pay for all her shopping for the day and carry all the bags; Tomoyo was happy that Naruto had gotten more of him memories back. At the moment, Naruto had several bags covering his arms and following Tomoyo to her house.

"Why are you complaining? You were the one who offered to pay and carry my shopping bags." Tomoyo noted as she looked back to send a teasing smile at her love.

"That's because you wouldn't listen to me about what really happened. Do you really think I would do anything with a girl who isn't you?" Naruto questioned, making Tomoyo stop completely before moving in front of Naruto, stopping him from walking.

"I know you wouldn't do that," Tomoyo started as her eyes drifted to the ground "but I can't but worry that you might have second thoughts. I mean not only was I the reason you got hurt and lost your memories, I doubted you when you gave up a huge opportunity to stay with me and now you are regaining those memories and part of me feels like you were rushed back into this relationship."

"…Tomoyo…" Naruto spoke, making her look up in time to feel his lips touch hers. They stayed like that for a while before Naruto pulled back. "I was never rushed and you are too precious to me."

"But still…"

"Do you want to know what my first memory was?" Naruto asked.

"Your first…memory?" Tomoyo questioned

"It was a beautiful girl with silver hair." Naruto stated, making Tomoyo's eyes widen.

"I was the memory?"

"Yes, you will always be important to me no matter what." Naruto said as he brought Tomoyo into a hug. They separated after a few minutes. "Come on; let's get your bags to your house."Nauto hefted the bags over his shoulder and brought a hand out to Tomoyo.

She stared at the hand for a second before smiling and grabbing it.

"…Yeah." They continued to head to her house.

{Later that day at the Furukawa's}

Naruto and his family arrived at the Bakery as the sun finished setting, Mito has riding on Naruto's shoulders as Kushina and Minato walked behind them a few feet back. When they got closer, they heard shouting come from the rooftop; looking up they saw Tomoya sitting with Akkio, who was starring at the stars. Kushina grew a small smirk on her face as an idea came to mind.

"Hey! You two should be peeping on the other house from the roof!" She shouted causing the two to turn in her direction. Akkio shot to his feet and pointed at his sister.

"Be quiet Kushina! Where I want to peep from is none of your business!" He shouted making Tomoya look at him with a look of indifference.

"You're not even trying to deny it what she said. Wait…You actually peep on people up here?!" Tomoya exclaimed in shock.

"Of course not!" Akkio responded, crossing his arms "I just don't like my sister telling me what to do."

"Yeah yeah, can you two come down from there so we can eat? I can smell Sanae's cooking from out here and I don't know about you guys, but I wanna eat." Minato said, making everyone nod their heads. Akkio and Tomoya made their way down just as Nagisa came outside; a smile came on her face as she saw her aunt and her family.

"Kushina-obasan, Minato-ojisan good evening." Nagisa greeted before turning to Mito and Naruto, "Hello Mito-chan, Naru-kun."

"Nagisa-oneesan!" Mito cheered as she hopped of Naruto's shoulders and wrapped Nagisa in a hug.

"Since everyone is here, why don't we get inside to start eating? I'm starving." Akkio said as he headed inside. Naruto and the others followed him; Sanae greeted them before she and Kushina set the table and everyone started to eat.

The huge family ate and talked about things that happened during the week; Kushina and Minato talked about a new music album coming out, Akkio and Sanae had talked about some events that happened the other day, Nagisa had talked about the picnic earlier and what everyone would be doing for the play. Then Naruto talked about what happened earlier with Ryou and Kyou, and everyone was surprised that he remembered more.

"So you remember your childhood now?" Kushina asked, getting a nod from Naruto. "What have your remembered so far?"

"Well I remember mostly everything; elementary school, middle and high, some other details. But the only thing I can't really get a grasp on is my personal life…I get details sometimes but nothing much, I think it might be one more trigger before I get all my memories back." Naruto replied as he reaches out to grab another piece of food. But as he chopsticks were about to grab it, Akkio's grabbed it at the same time. "Let go Uncle…I am eating this."

"Not gonna happen, this piece is mine." Akkio answered.

"Like hell!"

Their chopsticks clashed as they tried to get the piece; it was funny and full of action at the same time. But as they fought, Mito grabbed and ate the last piece, making everyone laugh at the scene. Tomoya noticed that Nagisa had a look on her face and he had a feeling on what it was. Naruto had remembered almost everyone except her and their family, it was hard to imagine what she was feeling. He thought was caught short when he heard Mito giggling about something; turning his head, he saw her holding a keychain. It was the dango family key chain that Nagisa had found earlier in the shed.

"Nagisa, isn't that the keychain Naruto got you when you both were in elementary school?" Kushina asked.

"Oh yeah, I found it when Tomoya and I were going through the shed, we were trying to find anything that I could have possibly heard or seen the story from. We weren't able to find anything before Dad sent us out of there." Nagisa said, not noticing her mother flinching a little at the mentioning of the shed; Naruto and Tomoya did however and Tomoya remembered what Akkio had told him a little earlier.

"All these old memories resurfacing are bad enough for me; I can only imagine how Sanae must be feeling."

Tomoya's thoughts were interrupted as Naruto voice called out,

"Since we're done with dinner, why don't I get the dessert that I made?" He got up and headed towards the kitchen, Sanae getting up to help him serve it.

"YAY, Naruto's dessert!" Nagisa, Akkio and Mito cheered, "What did you make?"

Naruto came out of the kitchen with a big shortcake in his hands and Sanae was following him with plates and forks. They placed it on the table and divided the cake up between them and Sanae made on last trip to the kitchen to prepare some coffee to drink with the cake.

"I made strawberry shortcake for tonight, I hope you guys enjoy." Naruto said with a smile

"I am surprised you still remembered how to do all this, though I guess you were always weird like that." Akkio spoke with a small amount of amusement in his voice.

"…Just for that…you don't get a piece of cake." Naruto stated with a serious look on his face.

"WHAT!? I was kidding Naruto, come on." Akkio protested.

"Nope."

"Please!"

"Nott gonna happen"

"Kushina, Minato, tell him to let me have some cake too."

"Sorry nii-san, you reap what you sow." Kushina replied as she ate her slice of cake,

"Damn it!"

The laughter of the family carried throughout the house; and for a small moment, the events that had happened and the ones to come were not important to them at the moment. Tomorrow they would go back to normal and be really busy, but that didn't matter the family sitting and eating. All that mattered to them at the present was the fun they were having together.

{Hidden World}

{play Kingdom Hearts II Music - Organization XIII's Theme}

A girl with long black hair who looked about 14 years old was walking in a dark castle, talking to herself.

"Now what to do when I get Otou-san soul…hmm maybe I get him and Okaa-san to take me out to the beach" the girl said holding a small light blue orb in her hand, inside the orb was none other than Kurotsuchi.

"Yeah that what we do Okaa-san" the girl said before she felt a blade on her neck.

"You're getting to slow Naruko" a man in a black coat similar to her masters.

"What are you doing here?" the girl now known as naruko said with disgust in her voice

"Just popping in and seeing how you're doing, so why is the master wanting your dad dead for anyway?" the hooded man asked

"Well if he dies then I can get his soul then I will have both my mother and father with me forever. I do not care what happens to Otou-san's body for all I care master can put one of his 13 hearts in there as long as I get his soul am happy." Naruko said with a creepy smile (soul eater smile)
