There was a buzz in the room. That buzz was rather low in volume, only making his ears twitch before pulling the sheets over his head and rolling over to his side. The buzzing continued however, wanting him to get up and press the off button.

The man sighed, seeing no reason to let the ringer go on and on. A hand reached out feebly, groping at the bedside table and feeling for the alarm clock. Eventually his fingers found the button and they pressed down, silencing the stupid buzzing noise.

Pulling the sheets back over his now cold arm, he snuggled into his bed and began to fall back asleep. A few moments of sleep passed over him before his brain screamed at him and forced him to sit upright in his bed, gripping the sheets in fear.

This was not his bed.

His grey eyes surveyed the area, and only after a quick scan did he realize that this was not his room either. The sheets dropped down as he felt for his head, pressing his palms against his temples. Licking his lips and looking around, the man kicked off the sheets and stood up.

The room was dark, and moving towards the curtains to his left he thrust them open, seeing the sunlight blind him. He shielded his eyes until they adjusted, blinking a few times to get rid of the haze that seemed to fill his vision. He regained his sight, and looking out the glass he almost fainted.

A city greeted him this morning, the skyscrapers and buildings gleaming in the early morning sun. The shimmer to the left of the city was the ocean that harbored gulls that flew past his window with such speed that he had to take a second look to make sure they were real. As he pressed his hands against the glass, he looked down to see the people below in the streets, bustling about and going towards their destination. The city was alive and running normally, as if this was his own world.

"Mister Hiwatari?"

The sudden call startled him, Kai jumping towards a phone that happened to be sitting on a desk that occupied this space. He pressed on the intercom button and spoke rapidly, his voice shaking.

"Y-Yes?"

"Sir, it's ten minutes after your curfew. Are you feeling alright? Shall I send someone up to give you your morning coffee?"

"Coffee?"

There came a silence on the other end, making Kai believe that whoever was on the other end hung up on him.

"Mister Hiwatari, I'm sending up your assistant. Maybe you need something to drink to clear your head. I know the deals yesterday had you all riled up, but we can fix that problem." A click came, leaving Kai even more confused then he already was.

Standing up and going towards the bed he sat down again, shaking his head. His breathing slowed now, his eyes shutting and his mind trying to make sense of everything around him. However, his brain to accept multiple stimulus at once which caused an overload in his receptive systems.

He was completely confused.

Revamp Kai. What the hell is going on?

He breathed out, trying to calm his already fried nerves. Alright, when I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that this wasn't my bed. This isn't my room, this isn't my…

A sudden thought came to him, and as he rushed towards the bathroom (which was left open for some reason) he took a look at himself in the mirror. Kai ran a hand down his face and then through his hair, almost sure that the person who looked back at him was not him at all but some other entity that resembled him. A doppelganger.

His eyes were still the same color, his hair was still the same silver grey color, but something about him was different. His cheekbones were more pronounced, his skin was much less glossy. His muscles were more tone than before, and he had hair in places he didn't know he had hair before. He was not Kai.

The man stepped back, feeling the stubble that lined his chin and the sweat that was already building under his arms. The first thing he had to do was take a shower.

Kai stepped back towards the bedroom, his head and body shaking from the entire stimulus. Upon further examination he realized that the floor was farther than he remembered as well. He had gotten taller somehow as well.

What the hell is going on?

Flexing his fingers and trying out his 'new' body, Kai went over to the desk from before and gazed upon the surface. A calendar lined the top, with all the dates crossed out until the supposed day that was today. His eyes fixated upon the year, and for a moment his knees went weak.

2012.

But… the year… the year was only… His brain screamed and tried to make sense. It was 2003 when I last checked… what the… where am I? WHEN am I?

Kai licked his lips, silencing all the voices in his head and listening to the only one that seemed to make any sense.

I was fifteen in 2003. It's 2012. It's nine years later. Fifteen plus nine equals…

The mental math made him want to faint, but yet it all made sense. He was here in this time, for some reason, older and stronger than he was before.

I'm twenty four… this is my new body… this is me? What is going on?

"Mister Hiwatari?"

Jumping back in surprise at the voice a figure came into view that made him want to kiss the ground. A familiar face appeared before him, holding a tray of coffee and a few things to eat for breakfast. The man was clad in a white pressed shirt, his pants black and official looking. Kai stared at him for a moment before speaking.

"Tala?"

Tala blinked, almost taking aback by Kai's statement. "Sir? Are you feeling all right? You never called me by my name before."

"What?"

Tala stared back at him now, almost tilting his head in confusion. Kai looked Tala over, seeing the now older Tala walk over to the desk and place his tray down. He was slim and quiet, almost shy in comparison to the Tala Kai knew. His hair was still red, but instead of an up and out hairstyle, this Tala's hair was posed in a business cut. His eyes were still the same color as well, but a pair of glasses hung over his nose. Kai would still recognize him.

"Sir, are you sure you're all right? You haven't fired anyone today and it's over an hour since your alarm clock woke you up."

"How did you know about that?"

"You wake up at five in the morning everyday and expect a cup of coffee with your breakfast. Sir, do you not remember any of that?"

Kai slowly shook his head and proceeded to sit down upon his bed again, seeing that he was dressed only in boxers. He immediately flushed, but Tala seemed to take no mind to that. Swallowing and speaking, Kai could feel his heart fluttering in his chest.

"Tala… where am I?"

The man narrowed his eyes at Kai, speaking slowly.

"You're in your office Sir. This is the Hiwatari Oil Enterprise. You're the owner of this establishment."
