Sakuno Ryuzaki, is an average 15 year old girl who had always went against her mother fever since her father's death. Her mother, Tsuta, didn't even care for Sakuno anymore. Tsuta had gone insane, and started dating Hisashi, who was now Tsuta's boyfriend. They both intend to marry in the month of June, which was only a few weeks away. Sakuno couldn't care less, and before she tries to run away from her mother. However, since Hisashi is one of the top 3 wealthy family, Sakuno would always be surrounded and spied on by his bodyguards for some reason.

Sakuno was laying on her bed, while listening to her i-pod and also reading stacks of japanese comics. *KNOCK KNOCK* Her mother came into her room. Sakuno, looking fierce ignored her mother as she walked in. "Don't you ignore me like that missy!" yelled her mother.

"I really don't care what you do because you've been disgracing my father's name", said Sakuno, as she kept on reading.

Tsuta snarled and looked out the window.

"I don't even know why I am still keeping you. But I am just doing so because of Hisashi", said Tsuta.

"And what do you both idiots plan to do to me?" questioned Sakuno, as she looked at her mother.

"We're planning to get rid of you by marry you off to one of Hisashi's best friend's son, of course," replied her mother.

"Yeah right… like that's ever going to happen," raged Sakuno.

Tsuta gave Sakuno a little evil smile and left her room. Sakuno threw the manga across that room, and took off her headphones. She knew her mother had changed since her father's death.

The next morning, Sakuno walked to school, like always, and stayed by the brick wall where her friends would always meet her. She waited and waited. Ten minutes had gone by, and Tomoka arrived.

"Mother problems again?" asked Tomoka, as she observed Sakuno's face.

"Yep…and the two idiots plan to marry me off, which is like so gross," frowned Sakuno, as she sighed.

"Your mother really did change. Even though I haven't seen her since your father's accident. I'm sorry," said Tomoka.

"It's ok. I wish she could see the real me again. It's like she's blind seeing me. She sees that stupid rich man," said Sakuno, as she looked down.

While the two were busy talking, Horio saw Tomoka and came running towards them. However, a guy purposely tripped Horio. *BANG* Sakuno and Tomoka saw the incident and quickly ran towards them.

"Are you alright Horio?" asked Tomoka.

"No…that bastard purposely tripped me!" yelled Horio, as he was grunting.

Students came running, and surrounded them. Sakuno, who was really upset, raged, and gave a mean look towards Ryoma. Ryoma's friends came running, and pushed the students away and surrounded him, as if he was a rich guy who had bodyguards. Ryoma quickly stared at Horio and Tomoka, but he gave a long stare at Sakuno. Sakuno stood up and went right up to Ryoma and his friends, as if she wanted to battle.

"You're a human being…why don't you have a heart to let people pass you?" yelled Sakuno.

Ryoma only remained silent. The students were all looking at Sakuno as if she was crazy to go up against Ryoma. The principle and the hall monitors quickly came and told everyone who wasn't evolve to back up.

"Back up please," said one of the staff monitors.

Everyone backed up, and Ryoma still remained silent, looking straight at Sakuno.

"What's going on here?" asked the principle.

"That guy purposely tripped me…and now my knee is bleeding," explained Horio.

"That's it?" asked the principle.

"What do you mean that's it? That's abusing!" yelled Horio.

"Apparently… we have been given order that no one is allowed to get into Ryoma's way. He is the son of Nanjiro Echizen, and Nanjiro is the big boss of the area. I'm sorry…but I don't know what to tell you," said the principle.

"That's not what is call fairness," said Sakuno, as she looked right into the principle's eyes.

Ryoma and everyone else looked at her. Sakuno turned and looked at Ryoma.

"You think you can get away with whatever you want just because of your wealth. Well… sorry, I don't agree with what you guys are saying. Being all bratty isn't going to help you at all. All you rich people only care about yourself, and you look down on the poor people. Well…at least help change the world," said Sakuno, as she help Horio up on one side and Tomoka on the other.

The three of them slowly walked away, while Ryoma glared at Sakuno.

"Mr. Mori…who is that girl?" asked Ryoma.

"Her name is Sakuno Ryuzaki. She's a sophomore, and she's in… class A," replied the principle.

The other students heard, and they laughed. Some of them chatted about Sakuno.

"So,,,she's the one. Not bad," Ryoma smirked as he think.

The school day went by, and the bell rang. Students came out of their classes and went home, or even went on to their tutorial class. Tomoka hugged Sakuno, like always, before going home. While walking, Sakuno knew something was weird today. It felt like today was a brand new day, but she ignored it. On the way, she saw Ryoma with his bodyguards standing by the cherry tree, thinking that he wanted to see her for revenge. So she got scared, but she intended to walk anyways.

"Hey!" yelled one of Ryoma's bodyguard.

Sakuno looked at them, but ignored them. So she crossed to the other side of the street, and kept walking.

"Master Ryoma…do you wish for us to stop her?" asked his bodyguard.

"Yes…we have things to discuss," replied Ryoma.

After given their orders, the four of them quickly ran across the street, and blocked Sakuno's way. Sakuno knew that they were up to something.

"What the heck do you guys want?" asked Sakuno.

Ryoma slowly walked over towards Sakuno, and Sakuno demanded to be set free.

"Did you wanted revenge for what happened this morning?" asked Sakuno.

"Leaves us," commanded Ryoma, as his bodyguards left and went back to wait at the car.

"Did you need something…idiot?" asked Sakuno.

"I like your temper. You're just what my father's friend said. I think I'm going to like you," said Ryoma.

Sakuno remained only silent after hearing what he had said. While she was being silent, Sakuno's mother and Hisashi saw them, along with Ryoma's father. So they walked towards the children.

"Looks like you've finally met him sweetie," said her mother.

"Him?" questioned Sakuno, as she turned to look at Ryoma.

"That's right. He's going to be the one taking care of you now. That's only if he likes you. If not…then too bad," chuckled her mother.

"I'm his father, Nanjiro Echizen", said the man standing next to her mother, "and we folks have already planned for your engagement", said Ryoma's father.

"An engagement? Huh? What a waste of your time?" said Sakuno, as she looked away.

Ryoma's father looked quite determined when he heard Sakuno's attitude towards the engagement. Sakuno's mother only looked away, as if she didn't know her daughter anymore.

"I like your attitude... but you're going to have to be hook up with me anyways. Whether you like it or not, we both are getting engage by this week. I'm also looking forward to it," said Ryoma.

Sakuno was shocked of what she heard about her engagement with the guy she saw earlier. She didn't even know him at all. Everyone all looked at her, and smile as if she had to no choice of what to do but to get engage.
