STRANGER IN THE MIRROR

Chapter 1

A memory is something one would not want to lose. It is a part of who we are; it defines us. But what would you do, if one day you wake up and find yourself missing the most important memories? What would you do if the memories shared with the best person in your life are gone? Would you fight to get those memories back or live the life you now know and forget about the forgotten memories?

*v*

It was a cold, somewhat quite evening; inside a clean white room, Akihito stirred from his slumber. He tried to open his eyes but the seeping light seems to hurt his eyes, he tried to move a little but his body felt really heavy as if he was bound in chains; although he his eyes and movements are impaired, his hearing s sharp he can hear people talking but he cannot figure out who. Where am i? was the only question he have in mind.

"How is he? Any changes yet?"

"None so far; He would stir on his bed but he hasn't fully awakened yet."

"Had the doctor checked on him?"

Doctor? Am in a hospital? I don't remember falling sick. What is going on here? Akihito thought.

"Yes, the doctor said his vitals are normal and stable. Once he awakens they will be checking if there was any further damage."

Damage? What the hell happened to me?

Hearing the conversation of the two men was making Akihito worry, he will get his answer soon; for now he felt really tired that he drifted to sleep.

"If there is any change, call me."

"Yes Asami-sama." Kaito, the guard in-charge of guarding Akihito replied. Sensing that his boss wanted to be alone with the young man, Kaito left the room.

Asami quietly went towards Akihito, his face may be devoid of worry but inside he felt otherwise. Looking at the young man now; who would ever thought that this was the same feisty boy who always fought against him, the boy he tried to break once, but got back on his feet. Akihito was just lying there motionless; an IV line attached at his right arm; a pulse meter clipped on his left forefinger; a bandage around his head and his left forearm; he also had a neck brace; there were some bruising on his arms and face. Asami was relieved that Akihito did not sustain any fractures.

Rest well for now, I'll see you in the morning. He quietly said. He placed a gentle kiss on Akihito's lips and left. Akihito, although asleep felt comforting warmth engulfed him.

The following morning, Akihito was awakened by the soft warm light that touched his face. Slowly he opened his eyes; Where am I? Somewhat a little drowsy, he allowed his vision to adjust as he took in his surrounding; he was positive that he was not in his apartment. He then remembered he heard two men talking about him. "But why am I in here?" Akihito was a little surprise to see his arms bandaged, with his free hand; he gently touched his head; he wince a little when he graze along some of the bruises; he even found wearing the neck brace really uncomfortable. "What the hell happened to me?"

Akihito was completely awake; he still trying to remember how he ended up in the hospital; he had no recollection of what happened to him. He was absentmindedly staring outside his window when he heard a soft knock.

"Good morning Takaba-kun." The man in a white coat greeted. "I'm Koji your attending physician." Akihito just gave him a small nod.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Like I weigh a ton."

The doctor gave him an assuring smile before saying: "That is normal for now, you were involved in a hit and run; but you're still lucky that you did not sustain any major injuries other than a head concussion; of course we will still need to keep you under observation."

The doctor did the routine physical examination, everything was normal.

"I will be asking you some routine questions to see how much you remember."

Akihito just nodded in response.

"What is your name?"

"Takaba Akhito"

"Age?"

"24"

The door suddenly opened revealing Kou and Takato; the doctor somehow displeased with the intrusion

"I'll be asking both of you to leave now."

"No wait, its fine. They're my best friends Kou and Takato." He simply answered. The doctor was pleased that Akihito knows the young men who came in. he allowed the young men to converse with Akihito, while he did his assessment based on the conversation.

"Man, we were worried about you." It was Kou who spoke first. "So how are you?"

"Don't scare us like that; we don't want to lose our dear Aki-chan" Takato tease.

"I feel like crap, my whole body hurts. And Takato stop calling me Aki-chan, I'm not a child." He was looking at his best friends and felt relief wash over him

"Good thing that Asami sama told us what happened," Kou continued.

"Asami?" Akihito looked at Kou with questioning eyes. "Why would he be informing you anything about me?"

Kou and Takato stared at each other.

"Akihito, you do know Asami Ryuiichi, right?" Kou carefully asked.

"Of course I know about him, who doesn't? He owns the two most popular clubs Sion and Draceana; he is a member of the elite society; and one of the most successful businessman in Japan."

"And what else?"

"Huh? What do you mean what else?"

"I mean in a personal level?"

Before Akihito can answer; a man wearing a very expensive three piece suit, came in escorted by two burly men. Akihito was amaze, the man was exuding power and danger; but what caught his attention were the two piercing golden orbs, he found himself unusually drawn to them.

"How are you feeling Akihito?" The man's cool voice broke him from his reverie.

How does he know who I am? Akihito wondered.

"I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks for asking. But who are you?"

Everyone in the room just stared at Akihito; an uncomfortable silence consumed the whole room. Akihito wondered why everything went perfectly still and quite.

"Uhmm. Akihito do you not recognize this man?" Kou broke the silence

Akihito gave Kou a puzzled look "Should I?"

Akihito looked back at the golden eyed man "Who are you, and how do you know me?"

"Aki this is…" before Kou can finish his sentence Asami walked out of the room, the doctor followed suit.

Still confuse by the turn of events, Akihito stared at his best friends, who as of the moment were giving each other knowing look. "Come on you guys, is there anything I need to know about that person?"

"Aki are you really sure you don't recognize that person who was just in here?" this time it was Takato who asked.

"Arg! How many times do I have to say that I don't know that man?"

"We apologize for stressing you out Aki, but can you tell me what year is it?"

Akihito gave his friends an incredulous look before answering "2011"

Takato and Kou gave each other a puzzling look before answering "Aki, it's already 2012"

"You're joking right?" Akihito stared at Kou and Takato dumbfounded. He tried to convince himself that his friends were pulling a fast one on him; he stared at their faces and realized they were serious. 2012! What the hell?!
