Chapter 6: Amnesia
Naruto sees Gaara at the edge of the crowd, eyes glowing a deep shade of violet(1). Like Naruto, Gaara have the power to curse people by knowing their names(2).
Naruto sighed, 'I wonder who it was this time? I hope he didn't hurt the guy too badly.' Gaara doesn't do anything halfway; the last person that crossed with him died the day after. Another thing about Gaara is that he only uses his power for Naruto. Every time someone would pick on him or make fun of him, Gaara would give them hell. Naruto didn't like the fact that these people were hurt because of him, and tried to stop Gaara, but his attempts were futile.
Naruto and Gaara were twins; their mother was a prostitute that worked in the local whorehouse. Her first baby was with a man named Masakazu. Her name was Hana(1), and when she was born, she shocked the inside of her mother's womb. From that moment on, Hana's mother hated her. When Hana was a month old, her mother finally cracked, and killed her. Hana was diagnosed with SBS (Shaken Baby Syndrome(4)) but the killer was never found. Two years later, Hana's mother got pregnant again and had fraternal twins, Naruto and Gaara. Gaara was about an hour older than Naruto, and during that hour, their mother tossed and turned, her body raking with pain. When Naruto was finally born, his mother died of massive bleeding, leaving Naruto and Gaara to the orphanage.
After five year, a man turned up and said that he was their father. Naruto and Gaara were led away from the orphanage and dragged into a new life. They thought that a life with a father would be better, and that they wouldn't be lonely anymore, and in a way, it was. But it didn't stay that way very long. When Naruto turned six, his father found out about the cause for their mother's death, and from then on, life for Naruto has been hell.

Gaara blinked, his eyes turning back to its original emerald green, and turned around to look at Naruto.
"Who was it this time?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?"
"You know damn well what I mean!"
"On the contrary, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Quit playing dumb Gaara, who did you curse!"
"…"
"Tell me!"
"Sasuke."
"What?" Naruto blinked, confused.
"Sasuke." Gaara repeated, "I cursed Sasuke."
"Why?" Naruto whispered, his eyes widening.
"Because he made you cry. Nobody makes you cry without having to pay for it."
"Gaara…" Naruto began, stopping mid-sentence. He took a step forward and slapped him.
Gaara's didn't move, eyes remaining emotionless. "I only did it for you."
"I know." Naruto whispered, and ran off.
Gaara just stood there, not knowing what to do.

Naruto sat in the flimsy hospital chair, hands resting on his knees. He glanced briefly at the body lying in front of him, motionless, as if its soul has been lifted away.
For the umpteenth time, he felt the tears well up in his eyes again. He reached up and tried to wipe it away, but it just wells up again.
Suddenly, the body before him stirs, making Naruto look up in alarm. Sasuke's eyes fluttered open, but unlike before, the eyes hold no emotion, as if his very being was stolen. Sasuke blinked, his eyes devoid of emotion, they were nothing but empty pools of darkness.
"Where am I?" Sasuke asked.
"You're at the hospital."
"Why?"
"Because you were hit by a car."
"Oh."
Silence.
"You don't remember anything?" Naruto asked cautiously.
"No."
"What's the last thing you remember?"
Sasuke thought for a bit, "I…I don't know."
"Think harder."
Sasuke paused again, "The only thing I remember is me playing with aniki when I was five, and then a red flash. I don't know any more."
"Y…you don't remember anything?"
"No."
"What about four years ago?"
"No."
"Oh. Okay."
"Why? Did something happen four years ago?"
"No." Naruto replied quietly.
"Okay."
They just sat there for a moment, gazing into each other's eyes, until Sasuke spoke again, "Who are you?"
"Naruto."
"Are we friends?"
Naruto paused, "Yeah. Yeah we are."
"I see."
TBC…
(1) I'm sick of red eyes whenever something weird happens. I mean, they're kool but way too cliché.
(2) That power is from Fruits Basket. Hana's little brother could do it. He was so cute!
(3) Once again named after Hana from Fruits Basket because of the powers. Hehe…I love Hana, she's so KOOL! People think she's creepy, but I think she's just amazing and I'd LOVE to have her power!
(4) Shaken Baby Syndrome is a form of child abuse, it is when a baby was badly shaken and their brain was bashed against their skull. 25-30 of these babies die from their injures.
I wonder if Naruto will take advantage of poor Sasuke? We'll have to see.
I know it's very obvious that he will, but to tell you the truth, he might not. I haven't decided yet. Review and whatever….
Mwahahaha, another chapter rewritten! Okay, so it's not that different, but it's…a little better…
