I'm baaaack! xP Don't own Naruto…like usual. Thank you so much for the reviews!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naomi led the boy through the house to the outdoor bath. Mori stood next to the bath, placing some towels on the cabinet and some soap. Naomi squeezed in the hand of the young man before she let go. The young man looked at his hand before he let it hang next to his body.
"Does Mori need to help you with bathing, or drying up?"
The boy shook his head, a soft blush cheek decorated his pale cheeks. Naomi nodded and she and Mori walked out of the bathroom. Before she closed the door she said; "If you need help knock on the door, we will be in the room next door, okay?"
She closed the door after the boy nodded and walked away, when she had taken a few steps she remembered that she needed his pants if she wanted to wash it. So she walked back, knocked on the door. And opened it. The boy looked at the door, surprised and in some way relieved.
"I need your pants to wash it, can you take it off, please?" she pointed at the black pants that hang loosely on the slim waist of the owner. The man looked down and then at her. Naomi nodded and closed the door. She heard some rustling and the door opened a little and a hand with black pants in it came out of it. Naomi accepted the pants and the door closed again.
The man looked at the closed door and half hoped that it would open again. When it didn't happen after a few seconds he sighed. Then he turned around and looked at the bath. The raven looked around and scanned the area.
Then he took off his boxers and placed them next to the towels. He touched the water wit his foot and he gave a satisfied nod. He gently slid into the water. Unconsciously he shivered but let out a relieved sigh when the warm water touched his cold skin.
The raven took a deep breath and went underwater, running a hand through his hair. He got back up and wiped the water away out of his eyes. The water did miracles to his sore body and the raven checked all the wounds he could find and softly washed the dirt away with a face clothe. He hissed when the cloth touched some of the wounds, but the pain was only there for a moment.
The raven looked at the door again. He smiled. Naomi and Mori sure were nice, helping out a stranger like that.
"I'm Naomi and my husbands name is Mori."
The raven wished he could've have answered politely by saying his own name. But no matter how he thought about it, for some reason he just couldn't remember it. He hadn't realized it at first, when had woken in the forest. A few moments later, when he had taken himself to a safer place, trying to reach the river; it had suddenly hit him. From fear of not knowing anything, he had started to cry and let himself fall on the ground.
If he looked down, he could see his own reflection in the water. Yet he didn't know his name. The person in front of him was somebody. The raven looked closer to the reflection. How old was he? He looked young, very young...too young. For some reason he snorted, he didn't liked it that he looked so young. He splashed the image away with his hand, ruffling the water surface, creating wrinkles.
The raven traced the scar on his neck he had seen in the water with his fingers. It was on the front of his neck, long and thin. This scar was created by someone. Someone who knew who he was.
The raven slammed his fist on the water surface, splashing some water over the edge over the bath. Why couldn't he remember?! Damnit! The raven closed his eyes in annoyance, a frown on his face. The last thing he could remember was the blurry image of the forest he had woken up in.
He could remember what happened after that till now. But nothing from before that, or other important things.
Not his name, where he came from, how old he was, what he like or hated. What the ell he did in the forest and what was it with that stupid mask? Scared the shit out of him when he woke up...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naomi washed the clothes gently in the little river that was just behind the house. She pulled the pants out of the basket and checked the pockets, a habit she picked up from he kids since they always put stones or something else in it.
She put her hand in the left pocket and raised her eyebrows when she felt something. She grabbed it and pulled it out of the pocket. It was a neat folded piece of paper. She slowly opened it.
"Dear Suke,
Buy me a souvenir, pretty please?
From Naruto-sama."
Naomi blinked at the words. So the man's name was Suke? What a weird name, mustn't be very common. Naomi smiled; finally she could call him by his first name. She placed the piece of paper in her own pocket and started to wash the pants.
Meanwhile, Mori picked out some clothes that he thought the man would fit and placed them in front of the door. He gave a knock on the door. "There are some clothes outside, are you coming out? We need to disinfect the cuts."
"O-okay." Was the soft response. Mori sighed relieved, glad the boy started to talk. The he walked over to the living room and grabbed the first aid kit, placing all the stuff they needed outside the box.
"Mori! Mori!" Naomi happily shouted. "Living room." Mori simply said as he could see his wife ran past the door. Naomi walked back and smiled at her husband. "Look, I know his name." She panted. She handed over the paper and Mori read it.
"Suke? What a weird name."
"It thought so too, but it doesn't matter! Is he coming out?" Mori nodded. "Good, I will hang up his clothes."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The raven was sitting on chair, shirtless and a little bent forward, his elbows resting on his knees while Naomi gently massaged the oil on the wound. None of the three had talked yet and you could see Naomi was ready to talk and very impatient.
Suddenly the raven tensed up and hold back a hiss of pain. "Sorry Suke, did it hurt?" Naomi asked. Suke's eyes widened and he turned around to look at her. Naomi just smiled.
"H-how do you know my name?" he asked, stunned. Naomi winked at him and she pulled the paper out of her pocket. She handed it over to Suke who read it. He softly murmured the words.
"I'm Suke?" he asked. "Where did you found this?"
Naomi and Mori blinked and shot each other a worried look. "What do you mean Suke, don't you remember, it was in your pocket."
Suke looked to Mori and Naomi and sighed. What would make the difference anyway? "Actually, I don't remember anything, I only can remember the things that happened after I woke up in the forest."
"Nothing? Not even an image or something?!" Naomi asked shocked. Suke nodded. Mori looked at the piece of paper. "Do you remember this Naruto-sama?"
Suke looked down at the note and frowned at the name. "I don't know it, but for some reason it's pissing me of." He said like an angry child who wasn't allowed to touch the cookie jar.
Naomi let out a chuckle. She kneeled down in front of Suke. "Listen Suke. Do you want to know what happened?"
Suke looked puzzled to her. Naomi shot a look at Mori and sighed. "Sometimes finding out your past isn't something you want. Or you want it but when you find it, you don't want it and then it's too late to turn back. Maybe you forgot it for a reason. Of course, if you want to go back to were you came from, we will help you the best we can, okay?"
Suke frowned. "I-I don't know."
Naomi placed her hand on Suke's shoulder and looked him in the eye. "Until you figured it out, you can stay here, don't worry and take your time."
Suke nodded and smiled. "Thank you."
Naomi went back to his wounds. Suke looked at the paper. 'Naruto-sama.' He thought. Maybe it was his lord or something, looking at the Sama. Or his father or brother. Suke swallowed. Or his lover... he shook his head. No, it sounded more like a leader.
Suke traced his finger over his own name. At least he knew his own name. That was a start, but like Naomi had said; did he wanted to know his past? Suke sighed. There was going to be hard time coming his way...
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
