AN: This fic was inspired by the fact that people say Yashiro is the same and lovable in every fic he's in so I wanted to give a whole new take on Yashiro using brain injury as the cause. I hope you enjoy. It's one of the two I have planned which are not about the Kuon-Kyoko relationship.

Also this is a short chapter, following chapters will be longer.

Bad Yashiro

Chapter One – Car Accident

Yashiro was almost never late and when he was he had a very very good reason and that was something that was causing Ren to be nervous about the situation. He still had a good chunk of time before his first assignment but he was wondering whether to leave without his manager. This definitely wasn't like him.

Ren pushed a hand through his hair as he paced. They would usually go places together and he had no real cause to be rude to Yashiro-san but then again, wouldn't Yashiro feel better if he could make his own plans to go to the set. Ren sighed again. He really wondered what was keeping him.

As he struggled to work out a plan for his day, Ren heard his phone ring and so picked it up. His eyes caught hold of the caller ID and he felt a bit nervous. The caller ID said that it was from the hospital and that didn't sound good. He paused, why would they be calling him? Maybe a survey? He hadn't had a physical done recently and he wasn't expecting any test results but hanging up on a hospital felt like bad karma.

He chose to pick it up.

"Hello, this is Tsuruga-san speaking," he said with a worried look on his face. He wondered if – no, if it was Mogami-san there'd not be much chance of her wanting him to be called as an emergency contact. He might even rank lower than the president and he would definitely be lower than Kotonami-san. He sighed and put a hand on his neck, rubbing it a little.

"Ah, Tsuruga-san. I'm calling because a patient has listed you down as his second emergency contact and since we're having difficulty getting ahold of the first contact then…" Ren paused. Someone had listed him as an emergency contact with the correct phone number. It wasn't like the Japanese just to randomly pick someone like him to be. "Yukihito-san was involved in an accident," the caller said and Ren's eyes widened.

Okay, this was making a lot more sense. Yashiro wasn't dating anyone and aside from his family he was the person who had the most…okay, he had more contact with Yashiro than his parents did but Yashiro was close to his mother…who had gone on a cruise if he remembered correctly.

"I'll be right there," Ren said as he shifted his bag onto his shoulder. He looked down hoping that everything would be all right. He would accept being Yashiro's emergency contact and he just hoped that his manager was okay. "Can you tell me anything about his condition?" he asked and the caller sighed.

"Unfortunately, we can't do that until you're at the hospital," they replied.

"I understand," Ren sighed, "I'll be there as soon as I can. Thank you for calling me." Ren paused, he would have to contact his next job and explain that the schedule might need to be pushed back a little bit but without knowing the extent of Yashiro's illnesses he didn't know how much additional time to request.

Well, hopefully things would sort themselves out.

…

…

"So, he's more or less okay?" Ren asked as he followed a doctor down the hallway. Since he had been listed as an emergency contact and no family member could be contacted, the hospital had agreed to let Ren in on some more confidential information. However they hadn't really explained the extent of his injury.

Somehow, when he was travelling to LME, Yashiro had been involved in a minor car accident where he had hurt his shoulder and hit his head on the dashboard of the car. They couldn't find any bruising or broken bones and he more or less seemed okay but the extent of the brain injury would have to be tested over time. Still, he would be released from the hospital today with the medical staff being vague on what that meant.

"See, Yukihito-san has had a shift in his personality or should we say that he…well, he's got amnesia which has been brought on by a severe concussion and he's not really himself or at least as far as we can tell. He seems to believe that he's a sixteen-year-old," the doctor said and Ren blinked hard to try to let that information sink in.

Yashiro-san thought that he was a sixteen-year-old?

Well, it could be worse although it must be devastating for him. Yashiro was most likely just like Kyoko was. He was polite, well mannered, and obedient. It could be worse. He could have violent tendencies like he had had himself at that age. No, this was going to be easier than he had originally thought because he couldn't imagine Yashiro-san being a bad or troubled kid.

"We want to release him into your temporary custody until we are able to get in contact with his mother," the doctor said, "Would that be okay with you?"

"Sure, yes, yes, I can do that," Ren said quickly. He owed Yashiro a lot and if this was one small way in which he could make up for having such a great manager then he would willingly give it a shot. He wasn't sure whether Yashiro would be able to take care of himself but if he could provide him with what he needed then that would make up for some of the things he had put Yashiro through.

"I do have to warn you though that he doesn't seem to be as we would imagine," the doctor said and Ren looked at her curiously.

"Why do you say that?" he asked and the doctor sighed.

"Well, he's a complete brat. He's already made two of the nurses cry and he's saying some truly awful insults," the doctor told him and Ren stared at them in utter disbelief. No. Yashiro wouldn't do that. He was so different from Kuon, so more well-mannered.

"I'll talk to him, see if we can get this whole thing straightened out, maybe he's just nervous," Ren said as they got to the door and the doctor sighed.

"I don't know but if you have any ideas then I'd be open to hearing them," they said and Ren opened the door. He saw Yashiro sitting in the bed with a magazine in his hands.

"Hey," Ren said as he approached him, "The doctor was just filling me in."

"Maybe she should fill in your chest, hard to believe you're a model whilst lacking muscles like that or maybe it's your face, it's a good thing that you're in the hospital because that is definitely going to need some fixing up," Yashiro told him and Ren stared at him in shock.

Was this some kind of elaborate prank.

"I know," the doctor sighed before smiling, "but he's your problem now."
