Chapter 6

He was tired. So very tired. But when he felt a hand touched him, he knew he needed to wake up. It's like a reflex that had been honed for a very long time for him to grab that hand. He squinted to see a woman in front of him.

"Who are you?" He croaked and couldn't stop the fit of coughing that assaulted him. He felt the woman raised his body but couldn't stop her. He gulped slowly when a cool rim of cup touched his lips. She lied him down after a while.

"Do you remember anything?" She asked. He frowned and tried to remember.

"I…don't know. Who am I?" He gave up when nothing came to mind. He looked at her inquisitively when she hesitated. Finally, she answered.

"You're Raito. Tohsaka Raito."

"Raito?" He said that name in hope to spark something, anything in his memory but still nothing. He said it over and over in his mind but it felt different. Somehow, in his heart he felt that it was not his name.

"No…no. It's not. Tell me!" He panicked. He could felt some deep urgency in his mind that he needed to do something but he couldn't grasped it. He tried to get up but she pushed him down.

"Raito, stop it! You're going to hurt yourself!" That woman shouted over his flailing limbs. He shook his head to clear his thought. A bout of dizziness assaulted him and he could felt his movement slowed. Darkness crept upon him before he realized belatedly that he's going to faint.

Narumi sighed tiredly when 'Raito' fainted. She didn't knew what came upon her to tell him that he's Raito. But when he told her that he didn't remember anything, she took her chance to have her Raito once again beside her. She had suspected amnesia, but she just hoped that it was a long term memory loss. Even if he remembered in the end, she hoped he had started to love her at that point and would not leave her.

She cleansed him the best that she could. She washed his shirt and coat and decided to put it in a box with the star. That two item along with the strange star were a connection to his past. She decided to hide it so that he would took time to regain his memory. She brew some tea and put some calming herbs in it. She walked into the room that she put him.

"You're awake." She exclaimed when she saw he leaned heavily on the wall. She suppressed her instinct to shudder when he snapped his head to her when she entered. She realized on her mind that it was unnatural to have that very good reflex.

"Here, have some tea." She poured some into his cup. He nodded and cradled the cup in his hands. He turned his attention towards the swirling tea.

"I'm sorry." He spoke suddenly.

"For what?" She frowned. He raised his head and looked at her right in the eyes. She blushed with that attention.

"For almost hurting you. I'm panicked when even my name couldn't jogged my memory. So, I'm sorry."

"Understandable. I will react the same way if I'm in your shoes." She shrugged.

"So, I know my name is Tohsaka Raito. But what is yours?" He smiled. She widened her eyes when he smiled the same way her Raito would smile.

"You alright?" The smile vanished and replaced with concern. She nodded her head when there's a lump in her throat.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry. It's been a long time since I saw you smile. It's overwhelming." She managed a weak chuckle. "My name is Narumi. Kousuke Narumi. I'm your fiancée." She answered after she took a deep breath.

"My…fiancée? Really? What happened to me?"

"A week before our wedding, you had been involved in an accident. You had been hit with a car. Doctor told me that you're in a coma, so I asked their permission to bring you home. I hope to try to cure you using medicinal herbs." She told him after she tweaked the story a bit.

He sat passively after she told him. Even the story couldn't jogged his memory. He sighed. Maybe it's not his time to remember his life.

"Do you think you can tell me about myself? My childhood, my career, our relationship. I want to know everything." He decided.

"I'll be happy." She acquiesced while beaming happily.

GUYS Headquarters

"Damn it!" Goh swore loudly while running his hand on his head in frustration. All their search had turned futile. They had searched almost everywhere in Japan and needed to span their search outside Japan if nothing came out. Goh whirled around to get out before a hand stopped him.

"Where are you going?" Dan asked.

"I don't know. Anywhere but here. I can't just sit here and waiting." He spoke while gritted his teeth.

"No. Wait for their preliminary search first. Then we will go together." Hayata reasoned.

"But nii-san…"

"Control your emotion. You don't want Hokuto to catch on your tone of voice." Hayata warned. The three of them turned simultaneously to watch their brother. Hokuto sat listlessly on a chair. He fixated his gaze to the corner. He seemed to block everything from his mind.

"He's alright?" Goh asked softly. Dan sighed.

"He's blaming himself. Somehow, he got a misconception that if he's at the Land of Light, Taro will not missing." Silence for a while. "Maybe, he's right. If we didn't too caught up in human affairs, we will be home right now. Taro will not face it all alone."

"Let the past behind us. We need to concentrate on the present." Hayata interjected even though he agreed with the notion. If they didn't delayed maybe Taro will not face the challenge alone. He couldn't told his brothers about it or they would be crushed.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have new places." Teppei spoke meekly. She handed them a map that had been marked with new potential places.

"Thank you." Hayata accepted with a nod and a smile. Dan walked towards Hokuto and whispered softly in his ear. He nodded to ascertain that he understood. Together, they walked towards their brothers who had been studying the map intently.

"Alright. We will go alone to cover the area so that it will be much faster." Hayata said and gave their respective search places. They nodded to show that they agreed. After a quick briefing, they dispersed to carry on their duty. In their heart, they hoped that today would be the day that they would had any lead on their search after two weeks their otouto had been missing.

Land of Light

Ultra Father walked slowly towards his home. It's been two weeks already but nothing. He tried not to entertained the negative thought about what could had happened to his son. For now, everyone on the Land of Light had knew about the disappearance of his son. Everywhere he went, he would got pitying looks from them. He needed to be strong, not only as the Head of Space Garrison but also as a husband.

"Marie?" He furrowed his brow when the silence greeted him when he entered. He headed towards their bedroom but it was empty. He smiled sadly when he realized where's his wife holed up. He walked to the last bedroom and opened it slightly. There was his wife, sitting on their son bed while staring into nothing.

"Marie?" He touched her shoulder lightly before he sat beside her. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing. Just admiring our son's touch on his room. You know he hate it if we scramble his things here." Ultra Mother smiled.

"Yes. I still remember what happened when Ace took his things without permission. He sulked for three days before Seven and Ultraman managed to coax him to forgive his brother."

"And Jack got a black eye from Ace for laughing in the background." Ultra Father added. They both chuckled before silenced settled in again.

"I'm worried for Taro." She confessed softly. He looped his arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

"Me too."

"Where is my baby?"
