Aww, I know, I'm so mean, lol. Thank you for reviewing me! It means a lot :)) And I'm in friggen FLORIDA guys! Cool, huh?


I stared at him.

This was my brother. My brother that I cannot remember and may actually help me regain my memories. My brother that had just apologized to me. I wondered why. Why in the world would he apologize to me? Had he done something wrong? Did he do something horrible?

"I'm sorry. Why are you apologizing to me, Kioshi?" I asked, my head tilted.

His eyes widened. He looked up at me and my confused face as Kanna walked up behind me. Instantly feeling akward for asking that, I stroked Kanna absentmindedly. She tilted her head into my hand and sighed slightly in our minds.

'Amay-chi, he's used to you calling him Aniki, even though that's more of a boy's way. Just so you don't call him something weird.'

I looked at Kanna. Aniki? I guess it sounds like me.

"Eto, well then, Aniki, right? Why did you apologize just now?" I asked again.

He sounded like he was mumbling something. "Ugh....happen...early....why....motakku..."

I blinked. He looked up at me. "Look," He began, "This was not supposed to happen yet. I cannot regain your memories, but I can turn off your Asturi."

How did he know I lost my memories? Why does he know that this was supposed to happen? My thoughts quickly cut off when he swiftly stode to me and cupped my face, leaning down to my ear.

"Irusat." He whispered quietly, and suddenly my regular vision came back.

Everything seemed blurry for a moment; I couldn't make out much, but then soon I could see again, but everything seemed strange because I could no longer see that eighth color. There was less of a sharp and crisp look to the world now. Suddenly, he kissed my forehead.

"Meet me two miles east of here tommorrow at sunrise." He whispered quickly, then turned back to the two girls he was with.

"Aniki..." I whispered.

He looked over his shoulder and grinned.

"Got that, kid?" He grinned.

Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of de-ja-vu shot over me and I replied.

"Who're you calling kid, baka?"

He chuckled. "Only you."

Suddenly, as if on some strange internal timer, all three of them shot up and into the forest. Deidara stood there, not entirely sure what had just happened. Deidara sat there on his bird, when suddenly I noticed. A strange prickling sense on the back of my neck had me looking around. I looked and looked, but I couldn't find anything, but Kanna had caught their scent and relaxed, so I supposed it was alright. I jumped ond Deidara.

"We're camping here tonight." I said.

I heard him sigh, so I took that as a yes and popped myself a bed. Hopefully this one wouldn't turn into cabbages.


"Sh-She almost saw us boss...!" One furiously whispered.

"I know! Girl's got senses like a hawks!" The captain stated, with an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

"B-Boss! She's scary!" A few scowled.

"Of course she's scary! But she's also so cuteee!!!!! Look at her, all snug in the bed she just poofed from nowhere! Ain't she cute?!?" The boss stated.

A drunken member said "Hell yeah she is! If the head didn't care if we interfered, I'd be all over datttttt!" He slurred.

Suddenly a girl shot up and said "Look, Y'all need to stop letting me know how cute she is! It's driving me crazy, ya damn idiots!"

"Oi, shut up Keke! You just jealous 'cuz you ain't gettin' none!" Another drunk slurred.

Twitch. Twitch.

"Hell wit' you!" She said, punching him in the face, then going back to sleep.

"I still think she's cutteeee!!!!" The boss said.

Que punch.

"Shut. The. Hell. Up."


I awoke when it was still dark out. I could tell the sun would rise soon, so I created a note to Deidara saying that I'd be two miles east from our camp. I soon headed out, and when I got there, I had recognized it. 'My Secret Woods'... It was actually quite hard to get here. You had to avoid briars and low-branches, but I made it there as soon as the sun began to rise. Soon, Aniki walked into the little clearing, and I saw his eyes look up lazily at me.

"Sleepy?" I asked.

He gave a low nod. I walked over to him, and bonked his head.

"Don't make appointments that can make you sleepy! You'll fall asleep while you tell me something! I know it!" I said.

He chuckled and muttered. "Ever the same, ever the same, even after she loses her memory---twice..."

He picked me up, and I let out a startled noise.

"You're so heavvvyyyy...!" He said, looking down at me, amused.

"No I'm not!!!" I said, huffing.

"What've you been eating? Five cows a day?" He asked, jumping into a tree.

"No! You're so mean!" I whined.

It felt...nice. Like I was re-living something that I probably would never remember. Like I had a permanent part of my family. Solid, and like everyone else, but I know that it's not going to last long. Nothing good ever does. I began to soak up all of his teasing and all of my whining, trying to keep it in my heart, because I know this will end soon, and I know that I will not like parting with my brother.

"So, I came here to tell you that in our selective part of the branch off of the Kitsuki clan, every few generations is gifted with the ability to either see the future and past or make things appear; it is rare for them both to happen in the same generation. I got the fortune telling, and you had gotten the ability to make things come from nowhere. Of course, they looked into it and propsed that something was going to happen. Soon after our clan fell apart, I saw you. You had forgotten everything and I had gotten a glimpse of an old prophecy that was told to be false. I believe that you are part of it. I think you should find the prophecy; read it and find what is in store. Complete the tale, Amaya. Alright?" He stated.

I followed his entire speech.

"I will try my best, Aniki." I stated.

We talked about many things, him often telling me about tales of what we had done. All the fun things we did together and all of the trouble we got in. One of my favorite stories was when we once replaced mom's stuff with dads and hid the coffee maker. They both came out in strange clothes, and immediately upon really waking up they both scolded us and went to go get changed. Me and my brother; we were troublemakers. We had all the fun in the world for ourselves. We would run through common marketplaces and play ball with some of the other kids; and we actually broke many windows in the progress. He said his record had been twelve in one day, and mine had been nine. We would always challenge eachother to contests of all sorts, and I would only win every once in a while, and every time I lost, he would bonk me on the head and say 'See, kid? Just can't beat me.' and I would always yell back how I wasn't a kid. It was beautiful, our relationship.

My brother; I had noticed; was actually pretty handsome. He had long bangs and his eyes were a much deeper blue than mine. His hair was also black, and he was about as tall as Deidara.

"Alright; Deidara is probably wondering where the hell I am. Get me down from this damned tree." I said, feeling a little stiff.

He picked me up and smoothly got us to the ground.

"I'll see you sooner than you think."

And with that, he was gone. Like a whisper on the wind.

I smiled sadly.

Soon.


I had actually finished it and THEN added in the Amaya/Kioshi memories. I was like 'Hell, let's make it longer.'

Review! :)
