XXVI. Uchiha Itachi

Not so many years ago before he was here in the Kyoto Medical Hospital studying and teaching medicine and Ophthalmology, he swore he had a different life, but....... he doesn't remember.

The raven was told by the people who had found him that he was left unconscious near a riverbank. He remembered almost nothing when he woke up, but there was something left in his wiped out mind. His name is Uchiha Itachi and he has one goal. He didn't know why he had that goal, he didn't even know how he lived his life before or why he was determined to achieve his goal. Was he alone before?

Was there someone he cared for?

Why did he want to study medicine and eyes so badly?

4-5 years had passed and he still didn't know. He was on a foreign place, and no one claimed to know him and same it went for him. Yet, he was able to live his life, which he was deeply thankful for, because of the people who had helped him throughout the way.

He didn't know why they welcomed him to their home with open arms and open hearts, but they did. The married couple were old and gave nothing but kindness to him, they had a daughter as well: Izumi.

For years he had lived with them, they clothed him, fed him, gave him an opportunity to study what he wanted and taught him ways he was never aware of. Doctors said it was a rare case of amnesia where you even forget how to live life normally, but Itachi managed the restart. The married couple was fine with it, they were there to guide him, Itachi was like a son they never had. Izumi had welcomed him as well, and the first time she had seen him- there was something about him she couldn't get enough of.

It was as if she had already met him with her past life, but she thought that comically. She was indeed a shoujo manga reader after all.

It was year ago when unfortunate things happened to the both of them, the married couple who adopted Itachi and the birth mother and father of Izumi had passed peacefully, and it was just an hour apart before the other. They held a memorial ceremony and it might have been weeks before Izumi started talking again ever since that day.

Itachi will forever be grateful to her family but decided he should leave their home, but Izumi stopped him, saying she wanted him to stay.

He did.

He had been helping out to Izumi until this very day. They still lived together, but they weren't going out, Itachi would like to think of her as a sister, but he was feeling something more than that which he failed to admit.

But he was Uchiha Itachi and he was about self-control. He knows his limits.

These past few days had been odd to him.
For those years, he never gave up trying to remember what he had before this, and he had nothing.....nothing until now.

He had been seeing glimpses on his dreams.
A boy shouting out his name as if he was being taken from him and then he wakes up startled. Izumi often mentions it at breakfast and how worried she is for his being since it's been happening for days. He assumed he was the boy because they look almost exactly alike, but it couldn't be. Why would he be shouting his own name?

That very day he started seeing the glimpses on his dreams was the very day he had heard the news from the University Council that one of their students had gone missing. He had started contacting his colleagues to know more about it. He didn't know why he felt something coincidental about it.
