A/N Hi this is a new story and a new manga for me to write fics for, I am a devout Chitoge/Raku shipper and Nisekoi fan. I don't know what to say about the story buts very different from every other one I have seen for Nisekoi, please read review and return again. Oh and if you like fairy tale or Rosario to vampire I have stories which I'm writing for them too, so feel free to look them up if you want to.

Disclaimer: I don't own but if I did that Marika and kosaki's sister would never enter in to it. But yea don't own it.

Raku stood in the dojo, the paper walls hiding him from the worlds view. Things had not turned out the way he had wanted, he thought as he looked down to his father' katana and robe, incense burning in front of them.

His body refused to move from its spot. The smoke from the incense in his eyes as he stared at his fathers picture, an alter to remember him by. Raku felt his knees give out as tears formed in his distraught amethyst eyes. "How?" his fist collided with the tatami mats below him the liquid seeping into the weave. "How?"

"Bocchan," Ryuu walked over to his collapsed figure, putting his arm over his young masters shoulders. "This wasn't meant to happen, you where supposed a man yourself when you would have lost him."

"BUT I DIDN'T! He's gone and all that's left to see if his sword, a relic and meaningless to me without Tou-sama with it." Raku's voice strained over the words, his throat coarse.

'He's not here; Ka-sans gone and now t-the old man too.' Dragging his hands over his face Raku couldn't stay in this room anymore, "If I'm needed I will be in my room." And with that he left the room.

Sliding his door closed Raku leant against the paper and wood barrier; such a miniscule thing keeping the people he had known his whole life out. They couldn't see him cry, not when he would become their leader; a Boss, something he had never wanted.

Why, why did his day come so soon? Raku had too many questions and he despised that he was without answers as to how to go forward. Coming from knowing what you wanted, to seeing what fate changed. He never wanted the life of a yakuza, it was in his blood yes but he had always been timid to the lifestyle and kept away. That wasn't a choice now, his goals where being pushed aside. He had to do this; no one else could.

Staring at the ground his vision darkened blurring until he couldn't see anything; Raku entered sleep like that, pressed up against his door with tears of sorrow falling freely.

"Knock, knock. Bocchan I didn't want to disturb you until tomorrow morning, but the old mans lawyer is insisting on seeing you now." Hearing Ryuu's the intrusion Raku straightens, rubbing his eyes with his closed fist then flattening and dragging it down his face. Standing Raku opened the door, seeing Ryuu and an older man standing there he opened it further silently allowing them entrance. Ryuu rushed to a closet to the right of the room, opening it to reveal a tea table and cushions, placing these down Ryuu left to make tea.

"So you are Ichijou Raku, your father talked of you quite a bit." The man said, Raku could tell from his green eyes and way of speaking that the man was a gaijin (foreigner).

"Ah, yea." He replied still unsure of how he should be acting.

The man gave a laugh, the sound reassuring Raku; for the lawyer like most people that surrounded his father was an intimidating fellow.

"My name's Howard Yukino and I was your fathers attorney." The man now known as Yukino Howard-san produced a heavy looking file from the inside of his suit jacket, Yukino-san slide the bundle of papers onto the table sliding it across the tables shiny wooden surface. Not diverting his view from the file he looked through lashes quickly, asking.

Getting it Yukino explained, "It's the final will and testament of the senior Ichijou, your father." Having expected that Raku took the papers, flipping it open of the table, "Ichijou-kun left you a letter, he told me you had to read it before any of the proceedings would be carried out." Taking out another bit of paper from his jacket he handed it to the boy, who took it in his hands; they trembled slightly, seeing this he tried to stop it. When the shaking stopped Raku continued to unfold the letter, the first line read just one word his name.

Raku

I don't know how but I'm not there anymore, I'm truly sorry you shouldn't ever be left alone.

I'm hoping I'm with your mother, but you never know, kami may have made peeking at women it bath houses a prerequisite to hell. But if not I'm with Juri and let me tell you she is going to beat me something shocking when she finds out that I've left you there. Though I dare not think of what she would do to me if you had come with!

Hell being heaven aside, you know that the family business falls to you now. We all know it wasn't what you wanted to do in life, but take it from a person who has lived all his life in it. It's not so bad as long as you surround yourself with people you love.

All I want from you as you Tou-san is to see you again as an old man entering the gates with a smile, and many stories to tell me about the man you became, don't let me down on this Raku. Remember that I, your mother and all those around you love you. And as a man you should protect them too. I don't regret dying, because I know I must have done it to protect you.

Your mother left you a letter as well a long time ago; but I could never find a time to give it to you. This seemed a good a time as any, and Raku never forget that promise you made, because it could lead you on one hell of an adventure and that is what life is all about. I know when I made that promise with your mother I never regretted it at all

Love

Rikiku

Droplets of water rained down on the letter, his shaking hands had returned and it was all he could do not to scrunch the message from his father. His hands where out of his control, dropping the parchment on the table he stood and spun; hiding his face from Yukino-san and the newly arrived Ryuu. Hot streaks of tears ran from his eyes his throat so closed off he couldn't breath losing his balance Raku suddenly cantered to the right. Rushing over to help his young master Ryuu was stopped as said boy held him at bay with a single hand in the air. It was plain to see the water dripping off of its surface; he walked a little closer, his masters' hand connecting to his robe front, Raku' fingers clawed at the material, gripping it tightly only to loosen it a second later then tighten again. This carried on for a few minuets until his hold tightened more then it ever had before. Then suddenly Raku flung Ryuu around his body and through the wall, the sound of the thicker wall breaking echoing in the room with only Raku' harsh breathing to intersperse the silence. Looking out the hole Raku saw Chitoge standing there in a black knee length dress, Claude behind her and Tsugumi on her right in similar attire. Seeing her look at him like that he turned his face away, not wanting anyone else to see him this state. But before he knew it she had shuck off her guards and was hugging him through his back, feeling a numb calmness take over his body he sunk to his knees again Chitoge following him in his descent; still hugging him with her warm arms.

(Chitoge pov)

Chitoge couldn't bear to think how Raku must be feeling, to lose both his parents. And even though he had the gang they weren't blood related -at least she thought they weren't- she knew how it felt with her mum being gone most of the time but she was still here and there are chances to see her. Raku couldn't see either of them ever again and it hurt thinking she would never see her friend; her love with the smile he used to wear when they would joke around. Deep in thought Chitoge barely notice that she had been walking until Tsugumi pulled her back as a man with black hair came flying through a wall. Looking at his exit Chitoge noticed Raku standing there, his face blank with salty tears covering it, his arm was still raised from throwing that person who she now recognized as Ryuu through the wall. Catching her eyes Raku turned his face from her, walking from her view Chitoge ran after him forgetting her normal shyness and hugged him.

Raku felt so cold to touch she tightened her hold willing her warmth into him, hoping he would be alright when she felt him fall. Falling to her knees as well she hunched over his back pressing her face into his upper back. She wouldn't leave him alone, she knew he wanted to be alone but as always she thought opposite.

A/N I don't know about you but I cried when I had to re-read the letter section. If you didn't that's ok all I have to say to that is grow some feelings you sound like an Uchiha! (Jokes) anyway I hoped you liked it and don't forget to review fav and follow me and my story. See you next chapter
