I was running fast, but I couldn't teleport. It seemed as if someone ate all my chakra. I didn't care. I had to get away. Suddenly my skin tingled and I felt myself being pulled. It was a summoning jutsu! But I had never made a pact...Maki....
The next thing i knew I was lying on my back. I sat up and looked around. Maki was sitting right in front of me her hair shrouding her face.
"Hachi....sit still and just listen," Maki said quietly.
"You didn't have to do thissss Maki," I smiled trying to stand, but a seal froced me back to the ground. "I ssssee it'ssss about that girl."
"Just listen to me," Maki said quietly. She dropped something to the ground. I recognized it as my black knight.
"Ryusemi!" I exclaimed.
"Let me explain," Maki said again. This time I listened.
Maki told me of the time that she first met Suki, and that I had given up all those memories to save her from a darker side. Ryusemi had taken my memories to fuel the chakra need... It all made sense!
"Sssso I did know her....and I....Maki tell me...was there anything between....?" I started.
"Hachi...only you knew that," Maki answered.
"I understand..." I sighed.
I probably hurt Suki tremendously....but I would never be the Hachi she knew...I smiled sadly, and Maki released me from the seal.
"Do what you need to ok," Maki said.
"Yessss."
I ran towards Suki's scent. She was still with Kyuubi, but he still seemed out. When I finally entered the area, Suki stood up looking terrified. She had been crying. Even without my memories, I felt pain seing her cry.
"Hachi..." Suki started.
My movements were fast, and my arms closed around her.I rested my head on her shoulder a bit, and I could feel the shakes of tears running through her. Her head was on my shoulder, but she would not return the hug.
"Suki," I said quietly, "Suki....Maki explained everything to me.....I gave up thosssse memoriessss to sssstop that darker sssside. And I will never get thossse memories back....but I don't want those memories. Suki, all those memories you showed me....they mean nothing to me....but I don't want to stop being your friend. I will never be the Hachi you knew.....but maybe....maybe I can learn to be your friend again...."
"Hachi," Suki said through waves of tears, "Hachi....I'm sorry for making you...forget..."
"Suki I hurt you the most.....I'm sorry.....I will never be...."
"Just be Hachi," Suki said, "Just be Hachi."
