My name is Saiyomi Togu. I am 16 and the only daughter of Haine and Takanari Togu. I am heir to the Kamiya Corp. I am also one of the members of this year's Student council members with my cousin, Daisuke Togu, my best friend. Along with our other close childhood friends, Sukio Amamiya, and Yori Hanabusa. And our Emperor is Yukitsu Yamagata. He's an arrogant ass and I tend to avoid him as much as possible. He's the 50th Emperor at Cross Academy. I'm still adjusting to being around him. Believe me, it takes some getting use to.
"Saiyomi!" I looked up at my name and frowned.
"Yukitsu-sama?" His ebony hair was bouncy as was his personality. I hated him. He smiled brightly at me and pulled out a stack of files.
"These need the Council's signature!" I rolled my eyes, taking the stack from him and turned away from him, my cousin laughing.
"Yuki-sama, why do you tease her?" I glared at my cousin as he grinned at me and ruffled my hair in a brotherly manner. I opened the files and began reading, ignoring Yukitsu as I usually do. Yori's brunette hair blocked my vision as she leaned over me. No one could ever say Yori wasn't beautiful because she was and just as cheery as everyone else in the council. She was the daughter of two past council members and close friends of my father and mother. Maora and Maguri. Both are guys. She was adopted by them. Yukitsu eyed me from behind and sighed when I didn't turn to him.
"Yukitsu-sama…" He turned quickly when he heard my voice call his name and I threw two files back at him.
"Those are requests from some female students to be your platinum." He stared at me before I turned back to my work. Daisuke chuckled again till I slammed my fist into his chest, ending his laughter. Sukio's laughter started as he leaned onto Daisuke's shoulder.
"I still can't see how you're related to her Dai. Girl looks and acts like her grandfather." I frowned at the mention of my grandfather. Kazuhito Kamiya. My mother's father. I have three grandfathers. My mother has two fathers. Itsuki Otamiya is her biological father although she found out near the end of her 2nd year around graduation. Kazuhito was married to her mother and was supposed to be her father. It's a very long story and all of these people knew the whole story. How I could possibly look like Kazuhito is a big mystery to everyone but I do. Daisuke however could pass as my parents' child. Don't ask me how that came to be but it did. His father is my father's twin brother. His mother was a childhood friend of both brothers. She was in Europe when my father and his father were going through the shadow trial. It's all very complicated. Very complicated indeed. Daisuke snorted at Sukio's comment and merely smiled.
"Hey don't judge a book by it's name. She's her own person. Absolutely hates it when she's compared to anyone. Don't ya Sai?" I smiled and nodded my head. He knew me so well. We might as well be siblings. We live in the same home. Our fathers are brothers. Our mothers are best friends. We've been inseparable since we were babies. Yori smiled at Yukitsu behind my back and I rolled my eyes knowing neither of them could see me. It's been a secret between me and Daisuke that I had once fallen in love with Yukitsu in elementary school until we entered middle school I came to terms with my heritage and his. I hate him. Yori on the other hand loved him and I encouraged it. Maybe he'd leave me alone.
"Hey we have that new freshmen class trip coming up don't we Sai?" I nodded and looked up at Daisuke's clever smile.
"Whose setting up the rooms?" I shrugged my shoulders and Daisuke smiled again.
"You are, aren't you? Jeez, is there anything you don't do?" I shrugged my shoulders again before throwing another file at Yukitsu's head.
"I don't choose who's going to be the Platinum!" Yukitsu smirked as he came up behind me and bent down to whisper in my ear.
"You could be platinum you know? Just say the one little…" I slammed my fist into his face and Daisuke burst into laughter again.
"Again you tease her Yuki-sama!" Yukitsu rubbed his nose and frowned. I pretended not to see the hurt that flashed across his face as Yori came up beside him, rubbing his shoulder.
"It's alright Yuki-sama. Every guy who asks Sai out gets the same answer. It's not you, it's her." I clenched the pen in my hand tighter. I should've known Yori would play that ploy. I knew her well enough to know, she was jealous of me. Both of us were beautiful but because I was hard to get, most guys wanted the challenge of winning me. When they gave up on me, they'd settle for Yori. It got to her. I know it did. I wasn't my father's child for nothing. I noticed everything around me. Even things other people didn't think to notice. I saw her leg inch closer to his and I cleared my throat as I pulled out a chart.
"Here's the room assignments." Daisuke snatched it from me and smiled.
"Alright! I'm in a room with…Sukio…man!" He slapped the paper and glared at me.
"I wanted to room with you Sai! What's with this?" I merely smiled before lifting another sheet and keeping it out of reach of his swiping hands.
"That's a decoy. I know how you like to snatch things out of my hands. Anyways to let you all know I didn't have total say on the room assignments. The school director had some say." Yori bounced on her heels and smiled. I noticed and rolled my eyes. She thought she'd get a room because she slept with the school director's son but I still had that much control in the rooms. I held the paper in front of me and read off the rooming.
"Sukio, you and Yori will share a room. Dai, me and you share a room. Yukitsu-sama has his own room." Yori stared at me as did Yukitsu and Daisuke hugged me.
"Yes! Thank you! Wait…" He looked at the sheet over my shoulder and I held in my groan as he snatched it out of my hands.
"It says here, me, Suki, and Yori are sharing a room and Sai, you're staying in the same room as Yuki-sama!" I rolled my eyes.
"I'm changing it." Yukitsu then stole the sheet out of Daisuke's hands and shook his head.
"Says here you can't. And I wouldn't let you!" I snatched the paper out of his hands and put back in it's folder before glaring at the other members.
"None of us are happy with the arrangements, we can go to the school director and change it." Yori and Daisuke nodded but Yukitsu and Sukio shook their heads.
"I'm fine with my arrangement."
"Me too!" Yukitsu smiled at me and I frowned.
"No you're not. You're getting your own room!" He frowned at me and I turned away from him. I couldn't look into his eyes too long. My heart would start skipping beats for some reason.
"No! As emperor, I will not allow you to change the rooming assignments." I stood quickly and to face him, glaring.
"It's not up to you! If I have to room with you, I'm not going!" He stared at me and then began to glare.
"You are going! Your father wouldn't allow you to stay!" I took a step forward.
"Like hell he wouldn't! You don't know what he'd allow me to do!" He took a step toward me and looked down at me, seeing as he was at least a foot taller than me.
"If I had a talk with your grandfather, I know you'd be going." I froze at the mention of my grandfather and Dai took a step toward us.
"Yuki-sama, that was uncalled…" He froze when I slammed my hand across Yukitsu's face and I glared.
"Do not ever use that! Ever!" I turned and ran out of the room as the tears in my eyes began to fall. Daisuke groaned and turned to Yukitsu, frowning.
"That was low, Yukitsu-sama. You know she doesn't like how much control other people have on her life. I hope your face hurts." He turned and walked out of the room, after me and Yori ran toward Yukitsu.
"Are you alright Yuki-sama?" She ran her hand across the red mark and Yukitsu smiled and nodded.
"I'm fine. Perhaps I did go a little overboard." Yori shook her head and Sukio approached them.
"Perhaps you should apologize to her, Yuki-sama. She is probably in the gardens. You know how much she loves the gardens." Yukitsu nodded and began to leave the room just as Daisuke came back.
"Girl's not talking to anyone! Not even me! I'm her cousin! I mean come on! Where is he?" Daisuke looked around the room noticing Yukitsu's absence. Sukio smiled as Yori pouted.
"He went to apologize."
