Chapter 1 - The girl

That voice called out to me again, a voice that belongs to a girl but I'm hesitant to respond to her call when I can't even remember how I got here and it's taking my all just to stand up from here, I feel week and different in weight but that won't stop me from getting up and taking a good at the place I found myself on.

There she is, it looks like she didn't notice me standing here at the far end of what it seemed to be a huge mansion with the architectures art work similar to a palace of a fairly kingdom, she yelled my name again and yet I don't have a good response I can use as a way to respond as I don't remember anything about myself as I just wondered hiw I managed to remember something from a book I read, but I didn't want to make her keep shouting that name so I approached her.

"Haru!" She scream that name once more.

"I'm here" I responded to her but it ended up startling her because she was looking towards the east as I came from the west side of the area.

"Where have you been? Why would you disappeare like that, you know the madam doesn't like it when we are busy moving up and down when he's coming" She said.

It seems I'm part of this family that own this huge place, but I can't let down my guard as I don't know what kind of people they are.

"Let's go before the madam finds we are gone." She quickly grabs my hand and pulled me with her and just like that we left that area but I still wondered why I couldn't remember anything, my head is still hazy and the only thing I could recognize was that buildings structure and this feeling of misplacement in my heart. *As we left the area at the time I didn't notice the figure at the window that was watching everything that was happening on the ground*

Later that day before evening as I was washing the dishes, how ironic I thought to myself as I noticed what my position was in this mansion, a maid.

"That should be the last one. Let's go now." So she told me but I had to clear out something between us because it would be had trying to talk to her without knowing her name and I thought it might bring back my memory of this place. "Sorry I forgot but can you tell me your name again?. So I proceeded with the question.

"I know you don't talk much but forgetting my name is one thing." As she said that, she proceeded by stepping closer to me and leaned over to me as she asked me another question. "Are you feeling ok?"

"I fell from a tree, and hit my head so..." I just stood their sweating like if I just sentenced myself to be executed but that was my savior, the onky way I could stay low and get more information about myself here was to lay low, because had seen something that has already confirmed my suspicion about this place, rather this world, I noticed a later of ingredients on that table and that language is something I have never seen before, this place isn't my world and who ever I am, isn't me, I don't know why I can't remember everything but little by little my memory is coming back, but what I really don't understand is how I got to be here.

"You should be more careful, but I think you should be resting why didn't you say anything earlier, my name won't do you any good." So she said but, this is my chance and I'd rather not draw unwanted attention from other individuals. "It's not that bad so you can tell me your name again." I couldn't help but to notice that I started feeling as if I'm desperate.

"It's Akane." She said.

"Hm?.." I didn't think she would give up the name so soon.

"Nozomu Akane, my last and first name, 20 years old and still single." So she said.

"Huh?... Single" that surprised me since I didn't think she would say anything else moreover her relationship status.

"It's not fair isn't it? so what where you doing there by the way?" Akane asks.

"Hm?..." She confused me with the two questions.

"Though the owner of the house is a real hottie too bad he's getting engaged soon, but if fate and destines are real do you think I might have a chance, you can't know, no you wouldn't know, why am I asking you, anway not only that but his the successor of the position as the head of the Zaikai family from he's father Zaikai Ryūichi."

"Huh?. . . ." I'm grad I know about the family a bit, but what's going on with her?.

"Ooh lord Takanori Zaikai. Oh sorry for going off rail there, I meant just to that other question, what where you doing in the tree?" Akane asked after clear losing herself to her fantasies.

"I can't remember." At that moment I decided that this would be my excuse if I happen to encounter a question like these one involving my past.

"Okay, anway let's go to our room, let me show you where it so you don't get lost on your own, Just kidding let's go." So she said but now she left me wondering, is Akane Nozomu a kind person?.

Later that evening right before dawn, I decided to check out the area I woke up from hoping to find a clue as to why I'm here in this world. As I searched the ground and found nothing I was only left to watch the golden clouds as they where drifting closer to me it seems, I sat on the ground as I started to figure out what might of caused this phenomenon to happen, down in my chest I could feel that I didn't belong here but why am I here, it is a question that I mast solve it seems.

"What are you doing here alone? Haru" that isn't a voice of someone I met today no someone I recognize, who it might be. But the golden light hides his face so I can't see very well light.

"Who are you?" I asked the question. "How about you get here then, take a look for yourself if you dare." He said but I'm the type to run away when facing a simple challenge, so goy up and walked towards that voice but as I was about to stop at a preferred position, life failed me, I tripped over a brick and had fallen into his arms. He's eyes and mine met but I couldn't take the silence that followed after.
