The wild thunder roaring and the lightning flashing was the background of the Amano residence. It was raining and gloomy, the night was already scary enough for Kyoko Amano. But an old lady wearing kimono with her men knocked at the wooden door only made it worse.
"Lady Amano, the Madame is here."
Natsume heard the call and yelled. "Mom! It seems like Grandma is here!" Her mother's eyes started to widened; she fidgets as she approached her dear husband and begged in front of him.
"Dear, please open the door for me?" She said to her husband.
"Why are you scared of your mother anyway?" her husband asked as his wife hid behind the couch.
"Why am I scared...? Mother is very scary…very scary..." Natsume opened the door since her parents were still arguing.
The old lady entered the living room and saw her daughter hiding in the chamber. "Kyouko, what are you doing? You are a Tsuchiura you should act one!" she scolded her daughter.
"Mo-Mo-Mother!" Kyouko sat on the couch with her husband and daughter. "Please do sit..." she insisted.
Her name was Mitsuki Tsuchiura; The old lady was like in her 50's. She was wearing a violet kimono and carrying a pouch too. She has bodyguards placed all over the Amano residence.
"Where is my first granddaughter? What was her name again? Umm Ichiru... Ichino—" she tried to remember.
"Ichigo, mother," Kyouko said. "Ah yes, where is Ichigo?" She asked.
"She's at her school, Oba-sama," Natsume said as she tied her hair.
"School? Do you know what time it is?" her grandmother looked confused.
"She's at a boarding school," the man said.
"I'll pick her up tomorrow." The old lady decided.
"eh? What is this about?" Kyouko stood up and looked worried.
"She is the Heiress of the Tsuchiura groups and company, After my husband had died two years ago, he left a will, that once your elder sister doesn't bear a child and becomes a girl with talent, the eldest of my younger daughter will inherit the family and company." The whole family was shocked when they heard the news.
"Ichigo will no longer be Ichigo, but as Erica Lavezzi in the foreign country or Reina Tsuchiura in Japanese, she will be called Ichigo by her only leading family..." Kyouko couldn't stand it she stood up and asked.
"Mother, what happened to Satsuki?" the old lady glared.
"Your sister had a Daughter, but she is not worthy to be next… a party is held tomorrow for the rebirth of Reina Tsuchiura, make sure to wear proper attires." She left the House with her bodyguard.
The next day!
"Ne, Ichigo, if you sleep again and Kashino notices it when he passes by you'll be inevitably killed," Vanilla warned her.
It's as if Kashino is watching my every move, right? Amano Ichigo thought as she heard the bell rang. She got out of the classroom and felt someone was coming. Then men in black came to their way those people were very familiar.
"AH! Grandmother is here, right?" She smiled at them.
"Lady Ichigo!" I saw my grandmother wearing a kimono it was color blue, and it has a lovely design.
"Grandmother!" I hugged her, and she looked at me with a glare. I walked two steps backward and listened to what she has to say.
"As Heiress of the Company and Group, you should be more proper to others. Tonight you will be introduced, and you will meet your fiancée." She felt as if her world will be torn apart. She doesn't want to get married at such a young age.
"But... But" She started to complain. "No more complaining, Ichigo, or should I call you, Reina Tsuchiura, the next heir of the company. You will live a luxurious life and very safe from men trying to destroy you. Ah... Erica is also one of your names so remember that." She smiled. It was my first time seeing her smile. She doesn't want to disappoint her; She decided that she will have to continue business.
"Your absence permitted, we will be leaving now for the party…" she started to walk away, Vanilla and Ichigo followed. "Vanilla, don't tell the others about this... please" I whispered to her, and she nodded.
After some minutes they arrived at the place she grew up, the mansion. She went to her room, and found a red dress with gold outlines, "Reina-sama. We must change your hair style" a man said.
During the party, Ichigo Amano's classmates were all invited. It was a requirement that the professors insisted for them to attend for extra points but what they didn't expect was their classmate to be introduced to the world as the heiress of a big company in Japan. Aidou was enjoying the Japanese desserts that were there, and as for Hanabusa, he was having fun talking to Rumi. But Then the music stopped.
The brunette hears the music stop. Ichigo's cue to stand near the stairs for her to walk gracefully down. But she had to wait for her grandmother's words.
"Good Evening, Everyone! My name is Mitsuki Tsuchiura and today is a very special day for Tsuchiura groups of companies and me. As we finally introduce to the public our heiress, Reina Tsuchiura."
Her grandmother finally finished her words. Ichigo gracefully walked down the stairs holding her gown in.
Her classmates were in deep shock as they simultaneously pointed and talked about the girl walking down the stairs. "Ichigo-chan" They realized that Ichigo and Reina is one person.
Amano's POV
"Before I announce her fiancée, please I ask you this. For all the individuals who are standing in this room, please do not tell anyone about Reina Tsuchiura, her life is maybe at stake." She said. 'Vanilla, come back safely, please' Vanilla before you left it seems like you were worried.
"I now present you her fiancée."
I was shocked, such blonde hair, his same eyes, of all people why him?
