Kazuya fell into a long deep sleep that night. He was able to piece together fragments of his memories during his short rest at the hospital but it was still just one of the parts of it. It was during his long slumber that he was able to really see and hear what kind of memories flooded into his mind after seeing the car that they apparently rode in before him and his mother got into the accident that changed the course of his life.

He tried to see as much detail as he could in this memory so that he may catch anything suspicious. This memory may already be obsolete but it was still something that haunted him in his past life. He may not have let it bother him much but now that he was experiencing and learning about the past he never remembered, knowing as much as he could about it had become important to him now.

"I see…" Kazuya slowly rose from his bed and looked at the clock. It was almost afternoon and he was indeed left to sleep alone for the whole night.

He had a sharp look in his eye as he looked towards himself in the mirror as he washed his face. Looking at himself, he couldn't deny that there was a certain resemblance between him and his father. This made him recall the face she made when she saw the picture he drew. He knew he and his so-called father resembled each other a little but was she reminded of him whenever she looked at her son?

His looks were one of the things he cared little about from his previous life. His appearance in his previous life on earth was different from this one since the accidents left scars on not only his body but also his face. He was only able to look at his intended appearance after his body was fully healed and purified when he was summoned to Edea. He couldn't believe what happened at first but from the explanation of grand mages from the academy, it seemed that it was true.

This was one reason why he let his mom take care of it for him. She insisted on a few things like letting his hair grow out and fixing it when she had time in the morning. This made him look strangely at himself but Mei and Kyouko were happy about it so he really didn't care about it too much.

A question of whether she wanted him to look a lot less like his so-called father came to his mind after seeing him for the first time in his apparent memories from his past life. From Kyouko's tone last night, it didn't seem like she had any more positive feelings towards the man who he was never interested to meet in the first place.

"(Father or not, you and that b.i.t.c.h you chose over mom will regret if you still decide to do the same thing in this life)" unrestrained killing intent filled Kazuya's room as he recalled what he had seen and heard in his recollection.

"Kazuya?"

"Kazu!"

The boss and a.s.sistant duo entered his room in a rush and found him after he finished changing clothes. They felt the change in the atmosphere and found the source of it in his room and were worried. They thought that someone was trying to hurt him but instead found the source to be him instead.

Kazuya of course was surprised at the sudden intrusion. The two women have grown really sensitive to people's intentions. They were already quite adept at it by reading people they deal with in their business but now they can even tell by reading their auras which made them more intimidating if there was anyone they were dealing with in their deals.

"What's wrong Kazuya? Did you have a bad dream?" Kyouko wasted no time and tried to hug her son.

"Why are you here mom? What about work?" He dodged the question and asked her a question instead.

"How can I go to work after what happened to you yesterday?" She took a good look at her son and felt relieved that his complexion was normal and so was his temperature.

"I'm fine mom. I just needed to rest"

"What happened Kazu? What made you so angry so early in the morning?" Mei didn't want to let go of the opportunity and asked. "You figured it out didn't you?" she was the one who gave the theory regarding their apparent car accident

The two didn't force any information out of him last night. Both of them were concerned with how Kazuya had just remembered, but his own health was more important. Kyouko didn't want to see him giving that pained expression again and wanted to wait but the picture Kazuya showed before he went to rest the previous night shocked both of them.

He had neither met nor had they ever mentioned Kurogane Nagisa to him and Kazuya wasn't even interested to learn the name of his father so how could he have drawn the two of them so accurately? That wasn't all, he said that these two visited their residence. Kurogane Nagisa was known to be very hostile towards Kyouko so who would ever believe that she would visit her home?

"It's good to see you awake young master" Fujiyama knocked on the opened door and entered. "Would you like to have a meal? It's already too late for breakfast and the two mistresses have been waiting for you to eat a meal together"

"Thank you granny Fuji, I'll have a meal with them" Kazuya was saved for the moment but he already knew that the two women wouldn't let him go that easily.

So he led the two into his research center where he was sure that they couldn't be overheard after they had their meal. Kazuya felt a little guilty towards Yumi who was working hard in the office but there was no way his mom could work in peace unless her curiosity was satisfied.

"Before I begin… I want to ask a question I really didn't expect to ever ask" Kazuya turned towards his mother. "What is the name of the man that was supposed to be my 'father'?" his expression was cold and held no hint of positive feelings over finding out.

"Kurogane… s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o" Kyouko hesitated but she decided to tell her son the name of his father. She always felt nervous about it because he used to ask her about it before he lost his memories but she never really gave a straight answer.

"I didn't have much time to really understand everything I saw in my vision. I only understood a part of it but…" Kazuya started to explain after they made themselves comfortable.

He understood that even if he had these memories, he couldn't have been able to piece together what really happened in his previous life. There was one thing that was apparent though, Kurogane Nagisa didn't spare any respect and bared her fangs whenever she could.

Kurogane s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and his wife went to the Kouzuki house for one purpose, it was for Kyouko to sell her shares of the Kouzuki Corporation to them for an unreasonably cheap price. It was from their conversation that apparently happened with him present that he found out more about his father he didn't expect at the time.

He had his eyes on the Kouzuki Corporation after they had entered the technological scene and had gained ground against one of the Kurogane Conglomerate's allies; the Muimina Family and their Ringo Corporation.

Kurogane s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o was an extremely ambitious person who played with Kouzuki Kyouko's heart. She was but a young and innocent person who was just handed a company over by her father and it was where he found the opportunity to make his name soar in the family by using her to take over.

What Kurogane s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't expect was how extremely talented and dedicated Kyouko was to her work. Although she was very warm and emotional, she intended to make the company that was entrusted to her flourish. Their relations.h.i.+p lasted for a while but disaster struck when Kyouko was about to break the news to s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o that he was about to be a father.

He neither informed her or warned her about it but ever since Kyouko took the helm of the Kouzuki corporation, she had paid attention towards news concerning the business scene and it's people. She learned that s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nagisa had been engaged and their family businesses would merge after their marriage.

She refused to believe what happened and immediately went to s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o who she found was together with Nagisa who had no idea that her fiancé had been in a relations.h.i.+p with Kyouko for a long time. s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o didn't even bat an eye when he told her the truth that he was only after the Kouzuki corporation but he had run out of time. The family had already decided his marriage and it was a shame that he couldn't add the Kouzuki corporation under his belt in his attempt to be the Kurogane Conglomerate's successor.

He was not reprimanded for his actions after coming clean but was instead praised by the head of the Kurogane Conglomerate who was also present at the time. Kyouko was made out to be a pursuer who didn't have the chance to be with s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o at the time and even Nagisa tried to vent her jealousy towards her. Thus Kyouko gave a startling statement before leaving.

"[I hope the two of you enjoy your tainted marriage. The child inside me may be yours but I'll make sure that he will not be even remotely like you. You better wish that it's not a boy because he will always be the very first heir once you do achieve your ambition]" little did she know that it was this statement that would make them come visit her in the future after her son had grown to be almost a decade old.

Kouzuki Kou returned some time after that and learned that he was going to be a grandfather. He immediately started a war with the Kurogane Conglomerate along with his companions. This made s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o lose all the benefits he gained after his engagement with Nagisa. This was what originally started the feud between the Kurogane Conglomerate and the Kouzuki Corporation.

What they wanted was simply said but it was in exchange for s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o to give up all parental rights over Kazuya. The conversation that happened between them after that was something that Kazuya didn't hear because Kyouko had asked Lee who was also present to take Kazuya and Nagisa away so she and s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o could have a private conversation.

The two of them may have come alone but the Kurogane members had a habit of flaunting themselves so they always came with a set of guards so that people would deem them as influential and important. This was however the vanity that made Kazuya connect the dots though not at the time.

Nagisa didn't really know how to hold back as she mocked how Kyouko lived. She then mocked the newly bought car that was used by them at the time. Kazuya really wanted to call this lady out but Lee stopped him. He didn't find it suspicious at the time because he looked up to lee and everything he said was right by his knowledge.

It was only after a month later that a man claiming to be one of the mechanics from the car dealers.h.i.+p went to their home. He informed them that he was there to check if one of the components in the car was deemed inefficient and needed to be replaced because of a manufacturing error. This man was unmistakably one of the hired guards that went with Kurogane s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o and Nagisa at the time they visited their home and Kazuya explained that he couldn't be wrong about this from his memory.

Needles to say, it was on the day before their trip that this man claimed to have changed parts for their car. He didn't know what happened to the investigation of their accident but from what he was able to tell from his memories when he woke up, they never really found any evidence or it was covered up in the end.

"That was what happened in the vision…" Kazuya moved to give his mother a hug because he knew that it was hard for her to hear all of this. "Don't worry mom. If those two indeed step inside this property then the fate of the Kurogane family will be sealed" Kazuya said with all seriousness.

"thank you for your honesty Kazuya but I'm alright" Kyouko appreciated her son's concern but she didn't want to show him her weak side. "I could very well tell how that conversation went" she turned towards Mei who grew a grin.

"Huh?"

"His threats were a bluff Kazu. He would have never won a custody battle after what he did and he would even be penalized if he tried" Mei giggled. "Mother-in-law had covered all basis after she regretted informing him that you were going to be born.

"I see…" Kazuya was a little relieved. He was worried about Kyouko and s.h.i.+s.h.i.+o when he saw that they were going to have a private conversation so he was glad to find out that their plan to use him to blackmail his mother.

"What are you two looking so relieved for?" Mei looked a little irritated. "What we learned is that guy still has his eyes on the Kouzuki Corporation and since they are the main culprits of the accident, even though we already prevented it from going to the slimeball Lee, they may still try"

"It's strange though… I know the course of events have changed but didn't you say that our company had broken through the technological scene?" Kyouko pointed this out because they were still unable to do so in this version.

"I may have caused something…" Kazuya pondered. All his intentions and were towards the benefits of his mom and big sis. Just what did he do to cause the change?

"Kazuya!? Kyouko!?" a familiar voice reached their ears. It sounded a bit panicked so Kazuya wondered if something happened.

"What is dad doing here?" Kyouko was the first to react.

"Where is my grandson? Is he alright?"

"The mistresses are in the young master's building" they heard Akane informing him nearby,

The three of them stepped out of the research building and went to see what was going on. Jirou and Kou immediately looked at Kazuya who apparently looked fine.

"What happened?" Kou looked at Kyouko and inquired.

"Aren't we forgetting something?" Kazuya interrupted and looked at Kou with narrowed eyes. "Have you come to a decision?"
