Time passed, days, months, years... well, actually it was just days, but his mind made it look like a long time
Neji couldn't stop thinking about his conversation with Kaede... his eyes couldn't deceive him, he knew that both the Kaede who talked with him that night and the Kaede in the village right now are the same people
He talked with his uncle to know what happened to her, and he got to know that the Yamanaka patriarch read her mind during an interrogation
the specifics of that he had no clue, as his uncle couldn't tell him, because it was a secret information
tch...
but that made him think
maybe that is why she can't remember?
maybe those incompetent Yamanakas made her forget? or they blocked her memories?
He didn't even notice his thoughts getting weird, influenced by Kaede that day, his mind was not in the right place
he decided to ask Kaede one last time, this time paying attention to her body movement, to try to see if she is hiding something
probably a waste of time, but it was his only option right now...
so he found her and asked the same question again
Kaede sighed
How many times does she need to answer this idiot the same thing?
maybe because it was outside of the chapters, but he asked her this at least 10 times already
'Amnesia must suck, huh?' she thought
<Probably> Ceres agreed, a foreign concept for her, as she had perfect memory from even before having consciousness
'Probably what?' Kaede asked back
<...Having amnesia> Ceres repeated unsure
'Oh, right... Amnesia must suck' Kaede thought
<Didn't you just say that?> Ceres asked
'Say what?' Kaede asked back
<That amnesia...> Ceres was interrupted by Kaede midway through her sentence
'Right, Amnesia must suck, huh?' She thought
<... sigh...> Ceres sighed, she knew what Kaede was doing... as aways
Maybe she even knew from the start, but decided to pretend not to... who knows?
being so smart must amnesia, like having suck
...
wait, that's not it
"So?" Neji asked, finally finishing his monologue
what monologue? I don't remember...
'Amnesia must su-'
<ENOUGH!>
'...'
<...>
'Seesh, are you mad?'
Since Ceres didn't answer, Kaede turned to Neji
"I have told you before, I don't know what you are even talking about" Kaede answered, trying to not sound as annoyed as she was
Neji heard the answer again, same as before
but what wasn't the same as before is that he grabbed Kaede's wrist as he said with a weird face
"I know what must be the problem
it's the Yamanakas who messed with your memories, if we go after that, you will surely remember!" He said, a bit too excited about this
if Neji was in a Sane state of mind and saw how he was acting, he would probably dig a hole to hide in, because that was a very shameful way to act
"What are you even on about?" Kaede asked as she pulled her hand away from Neji, but he didn't let her go
"You own me this" He said
at this point, even I am not sure of what he is on about
"Let go, I don't own you anything!" Kaede exclaimed as she pulled her hand with a bit more strength, but she couldn't use chakra, so it was useless
'For fuck sake, will I have to break my act because of a crazy idiot?' She thought
<Amnesia must suck, huh?> Hearing Ceres's voice Kaede was confused
'What are you talking about?' She asked
<It was you who did this to him, did you forget? maybe it's Karma>
'...Karma? really? you of all people are going to blame Karma?' and indeed, for someone like Ceres, who is wisdom incarnate, using a vague explanation such as Karma is a bit out of place
<... sigh...> Ceres sighed, why was she even joking right now? Kaede is mad because she thinks her act will have to be broken because of a crazy idiot
it was obvious that she would be a bit mad
"It's my right to know!" Neji said
"You're hurting me!" Kaede said, her wrist red because of her act-*Cough* because Neji was really hurting her
But, just when Kaede was about to break ger act and send Neji to see his dad earlier than usual, a sword was placed in front of Neji's neck
"Let her go" A cold voice said
Neji glanced at the sword, he was about to snort and attack whoever was behind him but... he couldn't
he couldn't move his body at all!
'What the...?' He thought, looking back at the sword, to see if he was poisoned without knowing
it was improbable, but not impossible, right?
But when he looked back, he only saw a red eye looking straight at his eye through the reflective side of the blade
he was surprised, albeit he knew that a Sharingan had the power to immobilize someone within a glance, that shouldn't work on him
He has a Byakugan!
How is that possible?
How could he even think that Sasuke got a boost on his eye power because of Rimuru? or that he was the reincarnation of IDontKnowWho which gave him immense eye power?
Only if he was mentally ill would he think of such bullcrap
which... is kinda ironic, really
Neji tightened his fists in anger, how can he be affected so much by a single glance? His ego was hurt
His inflated ego, that Kaede created some time ago
*Crack*
"Agh!" Kaede 'screamed in pain' as Neji put so much force on her hand that it broke
what a drama queen
though, it wasn't even wrong, as if she really didn't have chakra he would have broken her hand
Neji only heard her pained grunt before everything went black
Sasuke's Sharingan was spinning in anger as he looked at Neji, who he put to sleep with a genjutsu
He wanted to cut this guy to pieces right here and now, but he contained himself
For now, he is better off taking Kaede to a medic-nin, luckily for him Useless 2 was a medic so that was not a problem
aa he left with Kaede, a single question popped into my mind
what about the 'I will see her body movements for lies' bullshit that Neji was going to do?
Apparently, he forgot
Amnesia must suck, huh?
