Summary:YutakaTsukene is the daughter of the wealthiest man in Tokyo, Japan, but she soon becomes unaccompanied with the wealth when she engages in a car accident, that kills her family. Now she is the only one left in the family, or at least of what she knows of, because she then has amnesia, that makes her lose her memory. Now she’s in a world where she can buy anything and everything and she doesn’t even know how to act around this privilege. However, when people in school start being nice and claim to be related to her in some way (or even her long lost fiancés) just for the pure advantage of being part of the wealth, she becomes even more confuse. Especially when one of them is telling the truth… now the people must find a way to convince her that they also have a part in the wealth. She must now choose whose telling the truth before her 18th birthday when the wealth is officially hers and only hers. Can you help her make a decision?

[[[Chapter: ONE]]]

It was in the middle of fall now and outside was freezing. The leaves of the trees had fallen and the branches were frozen. Of course, not all this stopped the people that seemed to have a party going on. A woman had stepped out. She covered herself with a fashionable and expensive mink coat.

“Ah, thank you so much!” the woman said.

“Oh do hope you had a wonderful time!” another woman had said standing next to the entrance of her house, the door partly open.

“Oh yes, hun. I had a marvelous time!” the woman said waving happily. She was heading to the car, but stopped in her tracks, “Tsukene? Where are you?”

“Right here mom” a voice came from behind the car.

“What are you doing?”

A young woman around the age of 17 stood up dusting her skirt. She had curly shoulder length golden orange hair. “I saw some oil leaking out of the car, so I decided to take a look”

“Well come on. Home is rather far away,” the mother said with a swift gesture of her hand.

“Mom to be truthfully honest, I’m not sure we can drive home. Well, not in this car.” Tsukene said.

“Nonsense. Our chauffeur had the day off. You insisted on it. Did you not?” The woman said. She was getting rather impatient and getting colder by the minute.

“Yeah, but mom—…”

“You said you wanted to drive so go ahead drive!” the woman opened the back seat and went inside.

The young girl sighed quietly and she too got in. I was hard being a teenaged daughter, but it was more difficult of being a VERY rich teenage daughter that happened to be a billionaire… BIG difference.

“Where’s your father?”

“He said something about getting some beverages from Mr. Tanaka”

“Ah, I see. Well for now put up the heater dear”

“Yes, mom” and Tsukene switched on the heater, suddenly warmth wrapped around her inside of the black jaguar.

After a few minutes had past, her father had distracted both Tsukene and her mother’s train of thought by yelling goodbye to his friend and finally sat in the passenger’s seat.

“Ah it’s so warm in here” he gave a smile to his daughter and she gave him a weak smile.

“Okay, so let’s go” her mother said in apprehension.

*** An hour later ***

“So then I told Mr. Tanaka that my business was well over 32 billion a year!” Tsukene’s father said in disbelief, “can you imagine that?” he looked over to Tsukene apparently speaking to her.

“Tsukene?” her father called her name when she didn’t respond.

“Hm?”

“Well, isn’t that amazing?”

“What is?”

“32 billion dollars a year!”

“Thrilling…,” she said dully. Truthfully, she couldn’t careless how much money she would be getting a year. Who ever said money was happiness, that wasn’t true at all, not for her anyway. She always grew up in her mansion that seemed more like a palace. Servants at every corner, it gave her no space to live and this really bothered her.

Tsukene turned to the sound of an opening can. She saw her father take a swift of beer. “Dad, you know drinking isn’t good” she knows her words did nothing. Her father was a rich man that worked hard for what he got and now he has the power to do what he wants.

“At least I’m not drinking and driving” he chuckled lightly seemingly obvious that the last two cans of beer had already gotten to him.

After a few minutes of thinking about her life, Tsukene quickly awoken to the sound of a trucks horn, “Oh my god!” she screamed and quickly turned the steering wheel to dodge the truck that was heading towards her and she did.

“Tsukene!” her mother yelled out her name, “stop the car!”

“I- I can’t!” she yelled. The car had been swiveling along the empty highway. Tsukene tried best to keep her steering wheel steady as she kept a steady pace on the car, but of course with no brakes to slow her down that was going to be very difficult, almost impossible. Almost.

“Stop the goddamn car!” her father yelled.

“I can’t! The brakes!” she repeatedly tapped her foot on the brakes, but it didn’t slow her down. The brakes seemed too easy to press, each tap on the pad seemed as if it would brake, it was slick. As if… oil had spilled…

“Go righ… dammit! go righ…ri…” her father, slurred.

“Go left Tsukene!” her mother screamed in fear.

Why did she drive? Why did she drive in this car? Se told her parents that there was something wrong, but they never listened and because of it… it would cost them their lives.

Tsukene drove recklessly up the highway. One wrong move and she would drive right off the cliff. It was easy since the railing that outlined the cliff was so thin, so breakable.

“I can’t stop it!”

She silently prayed. If this was how she was going to die then so be it, but it wasn’t going to happen without a quick prayer and a little hope left. Just a tiny one. How can she have hoped to survive? Think about it. Being stuck in a vehicle that is going at 70 miles per hour, with no brakes, no way out. In a steep cliff that seemed only no more than an inch away. Tell me now, do you think it was hope and faith that kept them still alive?

Tsukene still struggled against the untrained car, but it was that moment that she felt her life flash before her eyes, ‘This is it… Oh my god’ she thought as headlights came into view.

 ‘I’m never gonna get married…’

She was swerving right to the headlights,

‘I’m never gonna have kids…’

“Jesus! Stop the damn car!” her mother cried out in exasperation and fear. She knew that they weren’t going to survive that hit. It would take a miracle. Miracles don’t come very often or at least that what she was brought up to believe. 

‘And you know… for all my 18 years of living I never heard my mother or father say to me how proud they were. They never told me the words…that a kid growing up should hear…’

The car headed full speed towards the car. It was almost impossible to doge what was coming, it was almost impossible to survive a crash like that. Almost. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure. It seemed as if it was in slow motion, she looked through the window and saw a man that seemed rather young standing outside of his car, a familiar man. She saw the look on his face and he thankfully dodged the car.

Then…

:::CRASH:::

***2 weeks later***

“Ah, yes, I know”

“Poor thing”

“Doesn’t remember a thing, or at least that what the machine had stated”

“Lost her memory”

“Yes… well, with bruises like that… an accident like that, let’s thank god that’s all she lost”

“No… she lost more than that…”

“Yes, poor thing…”

That’s all she heard, voices talking to one another. Young gentle voices, what were they saying?

“Does she have anybody?”

“Who knows?”

The girl’s eyelids fluttered open, her caramel colored eyes rested upon three nurses. It took a while before they noticed, but when they didn’t they were more than pleased.

“Oh dear, you’re finally up. Oh thank the Lord. You’re a very lucky girl Tsukene,” one of the nurses said sweetly, while one of the nurses called the doctor.

“Tsukene?” the girl said weakly, tried her best to lift herself up, and succeeded.

“Yes, that’s you’re name”

The girl looked at the nurse in awe, “My name?” she asked in bewilderment.

“Yes, it appears you have amnesia.” The nurse said quietly.

“Amnesia…?” Tsukene sighed aloud. She was lost completely; everything was a mystery to her, even her own name.

“What happened to me?” Tsukene asked after sinking in the small facts the nurse gave her.

“I… Well--…”

“You’ve had an accident” the voice cut the nurse off and Tsukene placed her eyes on a man that seemed in his mid-twenties at the most. He had blonde hair and dark eyes that were behind thin-rimmed glasses.

“Oh, Doctor Kaiel…” the nurse began, but again he silenced her with his words. “Thank you very much Merci. I’ll handle it from here”. The nurse nodded her head and left along with the others.

“So, how do you feel?” he asked kindly, sitting at the edge of her bed.

“My head hurts…” she said quietly, touching the bandage that had covered her head.

“Yeah, that’s understandable. Severe injuries on the your head had caused amnesia”

“So I heard”

“We’re positive that, well, it’s permanent,” he said carefully. Tsukene gave the doctor confused eyes, of innocence and the doctor restated what he had said, “Actually, there is a possibility that you might get your memory back, though I’m not a hundred percent sure”

Tsukene stood quiet for a moment, “but, what happened to me?”

“It’s seems that you were involved in a car accident.” The doctor tried to chose his words carefully, “Involving you’re parents.” 

“Oh my god, are they okay?” Tsukene asked. She didn’t remember her family, but it was a family and she was worried even if it wasn’t hers.

“Um, Tsukene…” the doctor let out a sigh, trying to find enough courage to tell her, “you see, the accident was mostly due to lubricant disclosure. When it collided with the other car, it had cause dangerous friction. Impair damage of fire spread quickly through and--…”

“Doctor, I don’t need a whole explanation. I want a straightforward answer. What happened to them?” Tsukene’s face was serious and showed no sign of apprehension, but that didn’t mean that she had none it just wasn’t visible.

“You’re parents… they didn’t survive” he said out slowly, he said Tsukene’s eyes fall down, “I’m so sorry” he put a hand on her shoulder.

After a few minutes of silence Tsukene came to another question, “You mentioned another car?”

“Yes, yes I did.”

“Well was anyone injured?”

“No, surprisingly no. The young man wasn’t even in the car at the time. He must had sense something was wrong and had gotten out on the nick of time. I not sure if he was the one that pulled you out of the car though”

Tsukene arched her thin eyebrow, “Someone pulled me out of the car?”

“Yes. He actually brought you here to the hospital, but we didn’t know who he was, before we could ask him any questions he had left”

“Strange…”

“Yes, very.” He looked at Tsukene she was immobile for now and seemed so weak, “get some rest” he stood up.

“I did get rest. For how many hours?”

“Two weeks in counting”

“What? Really? I’ve been sleeping for that long?”

“More like in a temporary coma” he started walking away, but stopped in his tracks, “oh. I had come to check on you those days and while you had been in a coma and I had seen that mysterious savior of yours beside your bed, holding your hand. When I had confronted him on who he was he didn’t reply and left so suddenly.” He looked at Tsukene whom had a clueless expression on her face. “Oh well just forget about it. Tomorrow, if all goes well you’re on your way home. Isn’t that great?”

“What home?” Tsukene asked quietly.

“Look out the window” the doctor, ordered.

“Why?”

“Just look,” he said pointing.

Tsukene turned her head towards the window, it was night and it looked pretty windy judging by how the branches blew. Tsukene didn’t know exactly why the doctor had ordered to look outside the window, “What’s the purpose of this?” she asked confused.

“You see that big house right there?” he pointed to a large house that stuck out like a sore thumb through all the houses that had lined up against it.

“Wow, it’s a mansion”

“Not, just a mansion. You’re mansion,” the doctor said.

Tsukene turned around to the doctor, “What? No way!”

“Yup, it is” he nodded his head.

“But what would make me live there?” she looked down lost in thought, “oh I get it, I’m like a maid or something right?”

“No. You’re father was Yutaka Hiiro, the wealthiest man in Japan. Probably on of the wealthiest in the world.” Doctor Kaiel said with a smile.

“Wow! Doing what?” Tsukene asked happily.

“Various business work. International companies…things like that.”

“I can’t run a business by myself”

“Well until we find your relatives, that place is yours and so is the business. It says so in the will your father gave to you in case of anything happened. If you have relatives or that have any close relation with the family they must show up before you’re… I believe, your eighteenth birthday”

“Oh” Tsukene had to take a moment to sink this in, “so let me get this straight, I got amnesia due to a car accident that killed my parents leaving me to be a rich women at a mansion that seems more like a palace and it can officially be mine unless my relatives or someone close to me gets to share it?” Tsukene inhaled deeply.

“Yup, that’s about right” the doctor chuckled softly.

“My gosh… that surprised me. I don’t think there’s anything else that would surprise me more” she gave a low laugh.

“Um, Yutaka Tsukene?” a feminine voice called her name.

Tsukene looked up at the nurse, “Yes?”

“Well, someone is here to see you”

“Oh?”

“Claims to be your, well, fiancé”

Tsukene’s stomach suddenly exploded, ‘What did she just say?’

“I’ll…um, get him for you” the nurse then left, feeling the sudden tension of Tsukene.

“Well, well, your fiancé, aren’t you lucky?” the doctor teased.

Tsukene should feel special and lucky, but she didn’t. If this was her fiancé… she was suppose to remember him, she didn’t, and it, really hurt her.

She finally broke from thought when a masculine, male voice startled her, “Yutaka, My darling…”

Author’s Note: How was it? I know it might seem kinda boring, but it does get better, with romance and comedy. I just had to explain some things first. I wanted to be blunt and quick, cuz knowing myself I might take 5 chapters just to write the beginning. So please review and tell me what you think… thank you!
