Chapter 1

Piles of papers left unfinished, workers coming in and out of the building, cars double parked outside, just another ordinary day at the Kirijo office building.

"Why the sad look Mitsuru-san? I thought you would be happy finally being able to fill your father's position as the head of the Kirijo group."

"I know Fuuka…it's just that… why do I have to get married to be able to success my father? Isn't it enough that I'm his daughter?"

"Mitsuru-san…."

"sigh do you have an idea what my fiancé is like?"

"No clue. All I know is that the Kirijo group would be the ones to find a suitable husband for you and it was to be kept confidential until the right time approaches….But I heard you'll meet him tomorrow."

"I see…."

"Mitsuru-san, can I ask you something?"

"Go on ahead."

"Do you by any chance miss Akihiko-sempai?"

"What?! What would drive you to that conclusion?"

"It's just that I noticed on certain days when I enter your office to collect the finished papers I notice the newspaper on your desk is always turned to the sports section."

"So what if I like sports? Of that is the only evidence you can present me with then your conclusion should have remained a hypothesis."

"I also notice that you only buy newspapers the day after Akihiko-sempai's boxing matches…and since he has become a famous boxer now his pictures are all over the sport section of the newspaper."

Mitsuru stuttered "Th-That is merely a coincidence."

"Also, this bill arrived for you regarding the paper view subscription you applied for to view the championship match of Akihiko Sanada."

"So….I have a sudden interest in boxing. Is that so wrong?"

"Mitsuru-san…. You were never a good liar."

"…I have to go. My head is throbbing from thinking about this sudden engagement."

"I see…Then please take care."

Mitsuru proceeded to exit the building but before she could do so something caught her eye. It was a guy who reminded Mitsuru of a certain someone but before she could confirm it was indeed him, the man had already rode the elevator.

"Akihiko….? No..it can't be. Why do I keep thinking about him? Then she suddenly remembered something someone had said to her."

"Maybe your in love?" She remembered what Minato proposed about what she felt about Akihiko when they walked home together one day. But of course Mitsuru quickly denied it, maybe to hide what she truly felt.

In the elevator…

"The Kirijo office eh…been a long time since I last saw this building but never did I imagine I would get to enter it someday." Akihiko said.

"Sanada-san is this where Kirijo-san works?" asked Akihiko's little accomplice,Ken

"You mean Mitsuru? Yeah this is it. What are we doing here anyway?"

"You had to meet your manager here along with some members of the Kirijo group to discuss about them sponsoring you."

"Tch…What is my manager thinking? I already have enough sponsors…"

"Well you know getting the Kirijo group to sponsor you has great advantages. Like for one the Kirijo group owns almost everything in this town so you could get almost anything you want and since they own the hospital here too, your hospital bills would be covered each time you get injured from a match. Also, them being your sponsor increases your chance of seeing Kirijo-san."

Akihiko was shocked at what his young companion had just said.

"What are you driving at?!"

"Oh nothing…I am simply citing the things you want to hear."

"Mitsuru eh… I haven't seen here in a while. I wonder how she's doing right now."

"I hear she has to marry before she can fill her father's position. Apparently, they believe that Kirijo-san is incapable of leading the group without a husband to back her up."

"She is getting ma-married?!! To who!?"

"That information has not yet been released by the Kirijo group. All I know is that they would be the ones to select a suitable husband for her."

"I see…I never thought the next time I would hear from her she would already be engaged." Akihiko said disappointedly.

"Me too.. I honestly thought you two would end up together. I even estimated that you would confess to her before January 31st 2009 (Judgement day in P3) but I guess my calculations were wrong. Turns out your pride was stronger than what I had anticipated." Ken cited.

"Hey!! I resent that! Why would you think I'm in love with Mitsuru?"

"Please Sanada-san I am smarter than I look. I have observed your behaviour ever since I joined SEES."

"Uh…Why?"

"You were my idol you see." Ken answered as a matter of factly.

"So you stalk and observe your idols. You're weird. Anyway I do not have a thing for Mitsuru!"

"You don't eh? Shall I read to you my notes then ..ahem…

5/29/09- you claim Mitsuru was your weakness which points out you have a soft spot for her. 6/8/09-you showed great concern when Mitsuru was held captive by one of the 12 shadows.11/4/09-when Mitsuru's dad told all of you about SEES being disbanded you stared at Mitsuru with concern plastered upon your face and she seemed to stare back at you."

"He's right…that time I didn't want SEES disbanded just yet. During SEES gatherings/missions are the only times I get the chance to bond with Mitsuru. During the day is impossible because she's very busy with student council and all and I have my boxing practices"Akihiko pondered

"11/5/09"-You said "Mitsuru is a very strong person inside, but Its as if she just got her insides ripped out. I hope she's alright." You saying this emphasizes how concerned you are for Kirijo-san. 11/8/09- You said "Mitsuru will be gone for a while longer. Leaving her be is the best thing right now, huh… I wish there was something more I could do." If you ask me Sanada-san you could have done something like confront her, talk to her, or hold her but I guess your ego is just plain big."

"That's not true… I didn't know what to say to her and I was afraid to hold her. Maybe I was just scared she would push me away or she would reject me. God, I hope this elevator stops soon! Why does the Kirijo building have to be so huge!! I can't take this anymore."

"Continuing…11/10/09-you said "Mitsuru has finally returned, But sigh she is still bummed…I guess she needs more time." Here I saw that you really showed great care for Kirijo-san."

"I…just think of her as a valuable friend." Akihiko quickly argued.

"Really now? 11-14 you said "were going to Tartarus, huh? She may not be worried but that doesn't mean I'm not worried." Here you finally admit that you ARE worried about her."

Akihiko was at a loss for words.

Elevator stops and Akihiko and Ken continue to move to the meeting room.

"Finally! Oh and where did you get some of that information anyway… I mean the ones during 5/29 and 6/8 you weren't even there yet?"

"Arisato-san helped me. Apparently he wanted the two of you to end up together."

"That idiot!" Akihiko thought out loud.

Finally Akihiko and Ken arrive at their destination.

"There you are Akihiko!" Akihiko's manager shouted. "Please sit we have some matters to discuss."

"Alright." Akihiko said while taking a seat and Ken did likewise.

"The Kirijo group has decided to sponsor you…But there is just 1 condition."

"And that would be?" Akihiko asked his manager.

"They would agree to sponsor you if you agree to marry the heiress of the Kirijo group."

"Do you mean Mitsuru Kirijo?" asked Ken.

"Before Takenaru died he had his eye on you being his future son-in-law and successor. He saw what he was looking for in you." A member of the Kirijo group said.

Akihiko wasn't listening he was simply struck by the idea of a sudden engagement but he had to admit he was happy it was Mitsuru.

""Mitsuru... my future wife?." The thought of it made Akihiko smile a little.

"Admit it. You feel happy" Ken whispered to Akihiko. "I guess Sanada-san got what he wanted after all." Ken thought to himself.

"Pls. Meet back here tomorrow at around 12: 40pm. We'll make it official and discuss additional details about the agreement. Mitsuru will also be here tomorrow. Good day."

"Mitsuru…." Akihiko sighed.
