When a person loses all of their memories, everyone becomes a stranger to them. Thus the person who happens to be their significant other will become a complete stranger. As such when Karura loses her memories, she doesn't recognize Rasa as her husband. The forth Kazekage on the other hand struggled with confessing to her in the first place, and struggles yet again with approaching her about his feelings. He finds himself becoming instead her secret admirer, with amounts to re-wooing her from a distance, and not being sure if it will work. Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto. The story is an AU where Karura doesn't die when Gaara is born, but instead loses her memories. Outside of this event, the story is completely canon compliant. Note - This was written for Fanfic Friday, but I was only able to complete two chapters for the contest. Since the contest is over, I'm now working on finishing it, and I don't have to worry about the word cap now. Thus this is also going to be my Just Write It piece for this month.
