Chapter 1

You are mine, you always were.
You are mine, now and forever.
You are mine, till death do us part.

Prologue

Kyoko sighed as she stepped into the lobby of Akatoki agency, holding an envelope containing a letter from President Lory. He had told her to give the letter to President Hanako. These days normal people would use email, but of course, Lory wasn't normal. Heck, he made her come in this rediculous hairstyle, on top of that rediculous outfit!

It was sickeningly pink. Yup, you guessed it. The hair band, hair clips, and hair tie were all neon pink, matching her LoveMe outfit. People turned and stared as she walked to the elevator. Kyoko's eye twitched in annoyance. She turned and walked towards the stairs, which were closer.

After climbing five flights of stairs, Kyoko arrived at a floor which was relatively quiet. She scrambled up to the door, pulled it open, and stuck her head out. She looked left. Right. The coast was clear.

There was an elevator near the stairs. Kyoko walked up to it, panting from running up stairs. She pressed the button to go up and waited.

After what seemed like forever, the doors slid open with a "ding!". Kyoko stepped in. The doors slid close a second later and she punched in floor 10.

"Yo." Standing beside her was the last person she wanted to see; it was none other than Fuwa Shotaro.

"Hey." Kyoko returned calmly, even though her mind was raging. She tried her best not to strangle him, and surprisingly her body obeyed.

"What's up?" he said awkwardly after a short silence.

"Nothing much. The usual." Kyoko glanced at his slightly shocked face and grinned.

"Wipe that look off of your face," Sho demanded, noticing her grin. "You look like an idiot."

"Why am I grinning? Because you looked like an idiot, of course. More than I ever will."

The door slid open and Kyoko stepped out before Sho could utter a retort. Before the door closed, she turned to face Sho and smiled. "Bye, idiot."

Kyoko could see Sho's mouth open and close, too stunned to say anything. She, who was usually hot tempered, was cool and calm. He, who was usually the one to anger her, was now shocked of how much she changed.

Before long, Kyoko reached President Hanako's office. One of the servants let her in and sat her down in a chair. The room was like Lory's; big, stylish, and luxurious. Vases, statues, and paintings were everywhere. It was a typical rich person's room.

"Hello, dear. You must be Kyoko." A woman in her forties walked over and sat down across from her. She had long, curly, blond hair and wore an elegant white dress with red lacing.

"Huh, no wonder Sho decided to work for Akatoki Agency," Kyoko muttered under her breath.

Hanako raised an eyebrow. "Pardon?"

"Ah, nothing!" Kyoko stammered and changed the subject. "President Lory wanted me to give you this letter."

Hanako took the letter and handed it to her servant. "Thank you, I'll read it later."

Suddenly Kyoko saw something move on the armrest of her chair. It was small and black. Her second worst enemy: a cockroach.

Everything happened too fast and before she knew it, she had smashed a million dollar statue.

"Cockroach!" she screamed and spun around, trying to find something to hit it with... Accidentally knocking over a statue beside her.

She gasped. The statue had easily shattered into a million pieces. It was glass with lots of jewels embedded in it, along with gold and silver.

"Oh no, what have I done!?" Kyoko turned to Hanako and bowed in apology. "I'll pay it back, I promise!"

President Hanako looked shocked. Her mouth was open and her eyes were wide with surprise. Then she looked over to Kyoko.

"That was six million U.S dollars," Hanako said with a hint of anger in her voice. "But that was more than ten years ago. The price for this antique has risen to seven million. It was my favorite too."

"I'll do whatever it takes to pay it back!"

Hanako sighed. "And just how long will that take?"

Kyoko bit her lower lip. "I... Don't know. I'm so sorry!"

Hanako nodded. "You said you'll do whatever it takes?"

Kyoko nodded eagerly. "Yes!"

"All right then. Remember that you are in debt to me. I will let you know when I need help."

"I will do anything you tell me to, and I will succeed!"

One year later, Kyoko made her second trip to Akatoki Agency.

"You know Fuwa Sho, right?" Hanako asked her.

Kyoko grimaced at the thought of Sho, but for the sake of her debt...

"Yes, I do know him. We were childhood friends."

"Great. He's been so grumpy these days he'll ruin Akatoki's big concert, which is coming up next year. Kyoko, I want you give him more motivation. Him falling in love with you is the most stable way. You will work for Akatoki Agency disguised as a different person until the concert. You can come up of your character's personality and name according to what Fuwa likes."

"So," Kyoko said slowly, "you want me to act as a different person and become his girlfriend?"

"Exactly."
