CHAPTER ONE
'Where am I?' He thought quietly.
His eyes opened and he saw blinding light shining on him from above. He noticed belatedly that he was in a small wooden boat, lying on the flat surface inside. Currently, the boat was moving in a certain direction and he wondered how he got there.
He couldn't remember anything, not even his own name.
He took the time to sit up and see for himself that at the moment, the boat he was in was floating in a stream. Then he heard loud rushing sound and he turned his sight in front of him. His eyes widened as wide as saucers. Resisting was soon proven futile and together with the boat, he was completely in the mercy of the strong current, reaching the end of the stream and was now falling very quickly down the very high waterfall.
While falling, he saw images floating all surrounding him like a protective shield. Out of curiosity, he reached out to a floating image… and a part of himself seemingly woke up. Curiosity became more and more intense, he reached out toward the images one after another and soon he remembered many things, but not everything.
Then his trip ended and he reached the bottom of the waterfall where there was nothing but intensely shining light. The light enveloped him completely and he knew somewhere in his mind that what he was about to face… It was a new beginning.
He was pretty sure that he was supposed to be bigger than he currently was. He wasn't supposed to be an infant. He wasn't supposed to, but he was.
He could remember roughly most of what seemed to be his life, but could not for the life of him remember any human identities and any relation he once had with other humans, his own identity, whose child he was, whether he had siblings or whether he was an only child… everything slipped through his mind. Any and all humans that appeared on his memories were faceless and soundless, strangely put.
On another hand, he could remember vaguely that he once had a best friend, entered 'elementary school', going to trips abroad, being bilingual - English and Japanese - on daily basis, graduating from 'university', etc. Everything was vague and jumbled up with no clear start and end but he could remember them and it was all his. He was sure of it.
And this made him an anomaly. For a very long while, he stared and observed every single thing around him in silent bewilderment, or only silence. He felt too much out of place and he didn't know how to express how he felt outwardly. He couldn't cry or scream at the unfairness because he couldn't connect his emotions with his vague and jumbled up memories. To him it all he felt like when he finished reading a chapter of a book and wondered what would happen next only to find a random chapter afterward. It was rather sad but he felt no attachment toward what happened in his own memories and couldn't bring himself to care about it.
It was a hassle, if he could be honest. He wished he could think as simply as his infant peers. He couldn't because he had known a life where he had responsibility, where he had things to do and time waited for nobody, where he was involved. But no more… He had no such privilege now. Whether he wanted to or not he had to accept that he was chained to the very feeble body of a newborn with very limited things he could do. He had no freedom and he only felt bored since he couldn't get excited over baby toys bought for him. Truly, he wished he was oblivious. At least that would also lessen the embarrassment and humiliation he felt as his mother - and sometimes even his sister - changed his diaper and undergarment and rocked him to sleep close to their chests.
He repeated, he felt very humiliated each and every time they did that to him. He wished they would stop doing that or at least he could brainwash himself in thinking that no, his sister didn't just strip him naked entirely and wiped everything on his lower half without his permission! He had received diploma and had been working in one of the most elite companies in the whole country and yet, and yet! He was reduced to a dependent piece of meat whose ability was to only cry, sleep, secrete, and eat, it was unbelievable.
"What is it, Denki-chan? Have you gotten hungry again?" His older sister cooed. His sight was improving but he could only see clearly her bright blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Everything else was still blurry.
Her finger was in his grasp and he held it tightly. "Oooa…" he gurgled. That actually meant, "No stupid. You just fed me with disgustingly tasteless milk five minutes ago. What do you think I am?" or something with similar meaning to it.
"Aww… you're so precious! Fine, I'll take you outside, but only for a bit okay!" She chirped before turning to a direction and exclaiming, "Kaa-saaannn, I'm taking Denki-chan outside for a bit okayy!" He was glad she couldn't actually read his mind because she wouldn't be so nice otherwise. Believe it or not, he needed that fresh air right now or else he'll snap from seeing his jail bars, namely his wooden crib bars, for too damn much.
"Be careful and pay attention, Raion!" Their mother's voice came muffled from the other room which he assumed was the kitchen.
"You heard her, bro," she said brightly to him.
Warmth bubbling in his stomach as he gurgled some more. Honestly, he loved his older sister and his current parents. They're very wonderful people despite their penchant to make him feel utter embarrassments and whatnot. 'Yes, anything for fresh air, sis!' he thought happily.
It's also sad (for them) that he couldn't bring himself to think much of the family he had left, if he had any. They probably have gotten over his death too anyways. Probably. After all, like it or not, all living being would eventually adapt to their surrounding and environment, and if he was adapting to his new lifestyle then slowly but surely, his family over there (again if there was any) would adapt with a life without him too. He had faith in this fact even if it was baseless.
Now, if only he could acquire more mobility and independence than what he currently has, that would be perfect.

He knew his name was Denki. He just didn't know of his surname.
His family never brought him too far from the house either, so he was in the dark of his current world. It didn't help at all really. He eventually chalked the country he now lived in as Japan since everyone was talking Japanese, so when his big-hearted sister placed him inside his stroller gently, took him out for fresh air, and coincidentally met someone she knew who greeted her with a cheerful "Hello, good afternoon!" He was first confused but not from what was said obviously. It was from what he saw.
"Good afternoon Rumi-chan!" His older sister chirped, returning the greeting.
"How have you been?"
"I feel great, but anyways! Meet Kaminari Denki-chan!" She chirped, introducing him. Denki did not catch on what his sister had said because his eyes - and his whole attention, curse baby short-span attention! - were locked to the appendages sticking to his sister's friend's head. His sight was bad, but he could definitely tell that the appendages on top of the girl's head were moving on their own.
"Whoaa… you're so cute!" the other girl gushed. "Hiya, I'm Usagiyama Rumi!" She exclaimed energetically. He found that he cared less about anything other than the girl's long white hair with rabbit ears on top. White rabbit ears.
What.
"Aaa…" He responded, rather dumbfounded. His eyes were still transfixed to the two moving rabbit-ear-like apparatus on top of her head because there was no way a rabbit ears headband can move like that.
"Look he's staring at your pretty ears, Rumi-chan!" His older sister's laughter confirmed his suspicion. It didn't help him snap out of his daze.
Your (pretty) ears. He didn't hear wrong right?
The girl's face turned cherry red as she whined to her sister, "Stop it, Kaminari-chan… You're making me blush!" They were having fun on their own that they didn't notice how his eyes widened as he repeated what the young girl called his sister.
Kaminari. His sister's given name was Raion while her surname was… Kaminari? That made his surname Kaminari too right? So it means his name would be… Kaminari Denki…?
As if on cue, images and images of spiky-haired-blonde-with-black-highlight who was also a pervert, an idiot, a dumb-looking person, someone who failed his midterm exam, and placed last in the class rankings, came to mind.
(Cue dark sky background with lightnings shooting behind him, then finally a thunder)
WHAT.

(That was why you should pay attention when people talked, Denki *sweatdropped*)
HEY GUYS! TF here!
No! Don't. Say. Anything. Okay?
I know I should focus on one story at a time, but there was no OC!Denki story yet. I could not resist, you know. In any case, we all agree that I'm the first to start the OC!Denki story right? Right. I sure hope I am. I think Denki was too underrated as it was. I mean, seriously! Who can hate Denki?
Anyway, I hope this story will be to your liking. Please rate and review of this story with enthusiasm so I become enthusiastic in working on updates~ I know that that's not how it worked, but technicalities...
So there! I look forward to your R&R! See you in the next chapter~
