You're My Love Price in Viewfinder is a manga of the yaoi genre that I couldn't get over with. It was fun reading how the characters changed throughout the story. The latest chapter I read was chapter 53. It's exciting to know what will happen next. Well since updates are a little slow I thought writing a fanfic would be a good past time.

For your entertainment and mine.

Something Lost

Akihito stirred awake and found the man next to him in deep sleep. He shut his eyes close to ease the dryness and opened them again. There was no mistaking it. Asami was still asleep. It was rare for the man to wake up late. Most often than not Asami would be up early leaving the blond alone on the cold wide bed.

Perhaps he got tired from last night's exercise Akihito thought but changed his mind immediately. Naah it was unlikely because more often than not Asami would wake up feeling reinvigorated after a night of passionate exercise. Akihito on the other hand would suffer the aftermath. He would wake up with a sore back and swollen bottom.

Akihito carefully removed the arms circling him. Thankfully Asami didn't wake up. He winced as he stood up. His lower back hurt. Damn Asami for straining him. The man knows no restraint when it comes to sex.

He trudged to the bathroom to for his morning ritual. He stood in front of the toilet ready to take a piss when he noticed something. He looked down then up. He closed his eyes and opened them again hoping it was just an illusion. He looked down again. This time he shrieked.

Asami woke up when he heard the noise from the bathroom. He got up immediately when he found Akihito gone. He took the 9 mm pistol that he hid inside the secret drawer under their bed. He was ready to shoot whoever had the guts to get their hands on the only person he treasured the most.

"Akihito!" Asami called as he walked to the bathroom. When Asami opened the bathroom door he saw the young man sitting on the floor. Immediately he hid the gun behind his back. The blond never liked the sight of it and Asami was determined to keep things that reminded of his underworld involvement away from Takaba.

"I'm alright," Akihito said. "I just slipped. Stupid me. Haha."

He made it sound so convincing but somehow Asami did not believe that even for a second. How could anyone slip when the floor is not even wet? Something's telling him there's more to it than what the blond had told him. Despite that he kept his doubt to himself and pretended to believe what Akihito said. "I see," he muttered. Then he helped Akihito to get up.

"Since we are here why don't we take a shower?" Asami said with a husky voice while his arms circled around the blond's waist.

Upon hearing this Akihito immediately moved away from Asami. "I think you better go first while I make some breakfast. You probably have an early meeting to attend or some other business that needs looking into." He was already at the door when he finished his sentence.

~x~

There was definitely something going on otherwise Akihito would not act so strangely. To Asami the young man was an open book. His occupation requires him to read people on a daily basis and reading Akihito was a piece of cake. Now this situation had got him curious. What was the kitten up to? Whatever it was he would definitely find about it he thought as he was taking a shower.

Asami came out fully dressed with his jacket on his arm. He placed it on the couch. Moving to the kitchen he saw Akihito preparing some pancakes. The young man was wearing a dark blue shirt with black jogging pants. Asami raised his brows at the sight. There was something odd with the way the blond was dressed because most of the time Akihito would just go around the house wearing nothing but his boxers or short pants. He did not comment on it though.

"Smells good," Asami said.

"I am not boasting but according to my family and friends my pancakes are the best," Akihito said with a smile. "These are all finished. Let me get you some coffee." Akihito placed the pancakes on the dining table. He moved back to the counter where the coffee maker was and poured its contents on the mugs.

Asami sat down and took a bite of the pancakes. "It does taste good," he said.

"Thanks," Akihito blushed at the compliment. He placed the mugs on the table.

When Asami had gone out after finishing breakfast Akihito felt relieved. He hoped the man did not notice anything. He was a bad actor but he thought he managed well since Asami did not say anything. Whatever was happening to him he had to solve it before Asami comes back. He went to the bathroom to check again. He placed a hand where it originally was but the only thing that he felt was a smooth skin. He pinched himself to confirm that he was not making things up. It hurt.

He sat down on the bed and struggled to think rationally despite the numerous thoughts running on his mind. How the hell did this happen he thought. He felt the situation was getting weird by the minute. A shiver ran down his spine. He needed answers.

~x~

"This really has to be a nightmare," he said out loud.

He picked up his phone and dialed the only person he knew that would probably know the answer. He waited for a few rings before it was picked up by a woman.

"Hello! Takaba residence." The soft voice of the female on the other end of the line soothed his nerves.

"Hello Mom, is grandma there?" Akihito asked.

"You rarely call and you don't even ask how I am and you ask for your grandma immediately," his mother clucked her tongue.

Akihito chuckled. "I'm sorry mom. How are you?"

"Well I am good. Your father is busy with the shop. And your grandma is so absorbed with meditating. She had been going to a mountain temple without telling us. We only learned of it from the other elder women whom she had gone with."

"Uh oh," Akihito blurted out. His grandma was interested the occult, mysticism, and anything supernatural.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" Ayumi asked in a voice filled with concern.

"I think I might be cursed," Akihito said softly.

"Why?"

Akihito took a deep breath before he explained. "I know this may sound ridiculous but I am not making this up. There's something wrong with my body. I'm sure it wasn't caused by a disease or something. It's just too strange, too... how do I describe it... too supernatural. It's going to affect my life. I am sure about it. I can't go to work like this. I need your help Mom." Akihito said.

"Akihito," Ayumi said calmly. "I will talk to your grandmother about this. Meanwhile I want you to take care of yourself. Don't even think of doing something stupid. Don't hurt yourself okay and if you have time I think it's better to come back home."

"Yes Mom."

The call ended. Now Akihito could do nothing but to wait.

It was mentioned in the manga that Akihito's family consists of his parents and a grandmother.

I edited some parts. I was having a hard time putting chapter 8 on words. The plot is not yet fully finished since I have to place a resolution for the problem that is brewing.

If you have some ideas feel free to comment. I love reading reviews. It is probably the only reason that I check my email.
