Tsubasa watched as the country flew by. He was currently on a train to Liverpool. His parents died when he was really young. His uncle Toru and aunt Aika took him in as they had no children and brought him up as if he was their own child. Tsubasa felt that he owed them. He took every opportunity to repay them back. He was now 20. It was absolutely necessary that he find a job. To repay his kind uncle and aunt he took up a job as a tutor for one Yu Tendo.

This kid lived at Liverpool. From what he had heard, Yu had also lost his parents and was under the care of a wealthy and short-tempered guardian, Ryuga Kishatu. All his former tutors returned after a week or two, being unable to cope with Ryuga's demands. Tsubasa had accepted this work only because his uncle was in serious debt.

For a tutor, thought Tsubasa, the pay is really high. The family must be really rich. I hope the child is not so spoilt like my former students.

Just then the train halted; he had reached Liverpool. The station was in a hustle-bustle of activity. The luggages were unloaded and passengers scrambled to get out of the train. Porters were here and there offering their services to the passengers. A number of families stood beside their respective wagons, waiting and scanning the crowd of passengers.

Tsubasa took his trunks* and his briefcase and looking through the crowd for the one who was supposed to pick him up. He didn't even know what the person looked like. Perhaps, thought Tsubasa, the person might know him.

Soon, Tsubasa spotted a small boy among the crowd. There were two young lads behind him. They seem to be waving to him. One of them came up to him and said,

"You must be Tsubasa Otori. I am Dan and he is Reiki" he said pointing towards the other one, "And that kid is Yu, your student. We were asked to pick you up by Mr. Ryuga."

"Nice to meet you, Dan. You too, Reiki." replied Tsubasa shaking hands with both of them.

Then Yu spoke up, "So you are my new tutor. My name is Yu Tendo."

"Nice to meet you, Yu. We are going to be best friends, right?" Tsubasa replied, smiling sweetly. This child was really cute and he looked so innocent.

Yu replied excitedly, "That is so good. Dan, Rei, did you hear that? Tsubasa's going to be my best friend."

So he was also sealed off the rest of the world, much like the other kids.

Reiki stated looking at his watch, "Oh my God. It is already 2:30 pm. We should get going."

So Tsubasa's journey began, once again. After passing by numerous mansions and ranches and farms, with Yu chatting all the way, they finally reached their destination.

It was a really big mansion. The trees surrounding it gave a creepy feeling. The mansion was surrounded by high walls decorated by many species of wild creepers. The sound of birds could also be heard. The sign in front of the gate indicated the name of the house – 'Dragon Hill' it said.

What a strange name for a house.

As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted by the caretaker; her name was Hikaru Hasama.

"Oh! Come in, come in. You all must be cold. Yu, you shouldn't have run off like that. Mr. Ryuga was really furious when he didn't find you in your room. Now go, apologize to him; he is in his office. Also please tell him that Mr. Otori is here."

Yu ran away, muttering, "Ryuga is going to kill me. I should not have gone away without his permission."

Hikaru showed Tsubasa to his room. It was large and looked very grand. Soon he arranged all his things and took a quick shower. Dinner was ready by the time he had finished was shown to the dining room.

As expected the room was grand and spacious. There was a magnificent chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The dining table was long and covered with white satin. Different varieties of food were kept on the table. Various types of cutlery, he was sure, made of the finest silver were arranged neatly.

Yu called out to him. He was sitting to the right of the one who was supposed to be the master of the house. No one was seated in that particular chair so Tsubasa gathered that he was not late like he previously thought.

After five minutes of waiting and listening to Yu's whining about how late Ryuga was, he finally entered.

Tsubasa looked up to steal a glance at his employer.

Ryuga had tanned peach skin and white hair with a red streak on it. He also had blazing yellow eyes and wore a white jacket; which indicated that he had just returned from a long walk or, perhaps, a visit.

Looking at him only one thought came to Tsubasa's mind,

Perfect.
