'Struggle of Sadness'

By Tusuke Kounami

Prologue

Yukino's POV

Ever since I can remember, I've strived to be the very best…

The very best at everything that I do.

Just the very thought of being praised and adored by others, gives me joy to no end. I can't imagine a better feeling. I guess that's why I'm in the situation I'm in now; standing before the now former CEO/Owner and Founder of Hoshino Corp… accepting my new position as the new CEO/Owner of the exact same corporation…

…Short brown hair, unusual red eyes, 5'5" in height and 132 in weight; I'm 23 year old Yukino Miyazawa. And I wouldn't change me for the world.


-"…And so Ms. Miyazawa, it gives me great pleasure to bestow the title and position as the new CEO and Owner upon you, on this day of August 3rd, 2006!"

(applause)

(random whistling from select people)

-"You go Miyazawa!"

-"Miyazawa you rock!"

-"Marry me Miyazawa!"


Yukino's POV

Like I said before; I adore being praised, and I wouldn't have my life any other way…

Arima's POV

My name is Souichiro Arima. Arima for short. There's not too much to me, except I work as 'Director of Advertising' for Hoshino Corp.

I have short black hair, brown eyes, and I stand 6'1" in height.

Here I am standing amongst my co-workers, applauding the new CEO and Owner of Hoshino Corp. Yukino Miyazawa. There's something about her that entrances me. I can't think straight when I'm around her. My hands become clammy, just at the mere thought of her being in the same room with me. I don't understand this emotion at all. It's very unlikely that this emotion I feel is love. More along the lines of a dark feeling. Malice? Jealousy? Rage? I'm not quite sure…

(sigh) I don't understand at all. But I will find out. Hmh…mmm…she's hiding something. I can see it written in her eyes. The façade she puts up is so clear. It's a wonder no one else has caught it. But I'll be good…for now. I'll let her enjoy her moment…slowly…surely… I will find out Yukino Miyazawas' dark little secret…

(licks lips sensually)

…And I'm going to enjoy watching her contorted face of horror… when I find out.


(applause)

-"Congratulations!"
