Chapter 1

The Start

/Akashi's Oreshi POV/

When I was born I was different from the rest for two reasons. The first reason was the fact that I was the one and only heir of the Akashi family. They made it pretty clear from the moment I started to talk and walk. They expected from me lots of things. Great things. I had to be the best at everything. That included school, personal life and in general anything I would turn to. My life was pretty cruel but my mother saved me because she taught me basketball. I loved this sport and I wanted to be the best at it without having anyone telling me to.

The second reason was the fact that I had two personalities. During my time at a private school for kindergarten and primary school I used to get bullied all the time. All I wanted was to have friends but they only made fun of me. One day I got really angry and I felt a switch flipped in me. My other self took over and put them in their place. They never disrespected me again.

My other personality was cool but savage. He was cold and wouldn't accept anyone to look down on him. I believe that he would be the perfect son my father always wanted. It was funny at the beginning as he would always reference to himself as "Boku/Bokushi" but I got used to it. We came to an agreement at the end. He would take over when I needed him to and he would do his thing. My mother agreed too. My father was better to stay out of it.

December 20th

Today is my birthday and I am thinking about my past. It's not like turning 13 will change anything in my life. It is going to continue to be controlled as always. My mother from the other side was awfully energetic today. She was dancing and humming with every step she was taking.

''Seijuro, you are so cute!'' my mother told me and kissed my cheek when she turned me around to check my clothes. I looked away from her embarrassed. It wasn't like I didn't like her affection, it's just I didn't like the maids' reaction to it. Chuckling. ''Oh my little boy is becoming thirteen! I am so proud of you!'' my mother continued with the same big smile. I gave her a small smile in return which made her extremely happy making me look away once more and the maids to chuckle again.

''Mother… we shall go…'' My mother nodded and walked out of my room, me at the front and her following me closely. I really wanted this whole circus to end and get over with it. It was called a birthday party but there was nothing that would describe it as a birthday party. Like the rest of them. I don't really remember having a birthday party that it was just me, my father and my mother or even some friends. No. I didn't have any friends and father wouldn't stop using my birthday as an excuse to invite other businessmen to do… business. Birthday parties were not an enjoyable event for me. However, I never spoke about it. I knew that my mother was doing her best every year to make those gatherings as much enjoyable as she could. She would sneak me into the kitchen and have me blow some candles on a birthday cake that she had baked for me. Those small moments, I really cherished. Of course, I wish I had friends to celebrate by birthday but I couldn't make any friends the past years cause of the bulling and him. But I decided that this would change starting next year.

We started to descend the staircase in the middle of the house when my mother spoke again. ''Seijuro… please be a good kid.'' Her words were almost threatening. It was like she was expecting something to happen and she wanted me to behave well. I didn't turn to face her but I did give her a side look. I could feel her smiling for some reason. I couldn't even fathom what was expecting me to discover it so I just let it slide. After a few more stairs we were almost in front of the entrance of the dinner room. I could hear light music and voices from behind the door. I guess they expected me to arrive late and make an entrance. I sighed. I really hated it.

However, I didn't have any time to think about it more as the door opened and a girl with light brown hair and big honey colored eyes appeared in front of me with a huge smile on her face. I took a step back startled but my mother pushed me onto the girl. We stood very close to each other, our noses were almost touching and I was staring straight into her eyes. I could feel my face turning red from the embarrassment but she just kept looking at me, smiling widely. I felt like she was insulting me.

'Why are you that happy?' I thought and I immediately got angry. I didn't understand why but he had already taken over me. He gently pushed her away and with confidence walked pass her. But she didn't react at all. She just kept smiling. I hated that smile and I didn't know why. She was giving a vibe of a carefree person, completely free to do and feel whatever she wanted, something I couldn't do. I hated that. I found it so unfair.

My father came closer to me and he introduced a friend of his to me. His name was John Rose. He was there with his wife Hiori Avinchi and his two daughters, Irina and Amelia. Irina had darker hair and eyes than Amelia. She was also older than us. When we shook hands I saw something like dislike in her eyes. It seemed like she disliked me from the first moment she saw me. Then Amelia came as well. She just kept smiling at me. Silly girl. I can't stand silly people. Irina from the other side was the total opposite of her sister Amelia. You could see that she was a person with responsibilities and misery, like me. Cold.

My mom started to speak next and excitedly announced that Mr. Rose and his family would start living with us in this very house as he and my father would make a good deal between their companies. However, this new piece of information didn't surprise me at all. I thought that maybe they would stay here for a few days, or months until the deal was done with and then they would just leave and go back where they came from. He only nodded without saying anything.

"Now, if you excuse me," he said and started to walk away from them. It was the right move because I wasn't really interested in anything they had to say. It wasn't like my opinion would matter anyway. Nothing would have changed even if I was to say that I didn't want them into the house. Nothing at all. For my father, the company was first and then the rest of us.

I exited the dining room and I got control of my body once again. I wanted to get the fuck out of there as fast as possible. It felt so suffocating being between those older people and giving fake smiles to everyone. But it was what I had to do as the next Akashi in line. I looked around me to make sure that nobody was there and I found my way to the garden to take some fresh air. I wanted to sit somewhere in peace and enjoy my misery on my own. I found a bench somewhere in the garden, away from the windows of the dinner room and I threw myself on it. I covered my face with my hands and I sighed heavily. "I hate my life…" I murmured and shot my head back, my eyes now looking at the starry sky. My warm breath was creating small clouds into the cold atmosphere. Maybe it was going to snow soon as the sky was white. I liked snow. I had missed it a lot. Playing with snow made me really happy.

Happy…

Amelia's face came to my mind. That smile she had. I hated it. How could she be so happy? Then my mother's words came to my mind, 'They will stay here with us because…'. They would be with us in the same house… That means that this girl, Amelia, would also be living with me. Her whole family left their house and they came to live in my house. How could she be so happy about it? Wouldn't she supposed to sad? Or angry?

I wouldn't be able to take it. Seeing her smiling like an idiot while I was suffering inside this house. It would drive me crazy. And speaking of crazy I heard some footsteps near me, and then I saw her... I saw that one person that I didn't want to see, Amelia. She was sitting a few meters away from me, under a lighten up sakura tree. She had that much free time that she wasted it by looking at a damn tree. What the fuck was wrong with her? I couldn't hold my anger anymore.

"Hey you!" I called her in order to draw her attention, something that worked. She turned around and when she saw me she smiled at me. Again that damn smile! Why was she that happy seeing me? We don't even know each other! I wanted to slap that smile off her face so badly. "Listen to me!" I said still walking towards her making her turn around to face me. "You will be living with me in this house! So you will be listening to me,'' I warned her.

''Ok...,'' she said slowly yet playfully. She was making fun of me. I could feel it deep into my bones.

''And starting from now, you will stay away from me, '' I yelled at her again.

''Yes…''

I turned around and left her side when I heard her again.

''Goodnight Seijuro!''

The next three days I realized that she didn't listen to a single word of what I said to her that night. She continued to do whatever she wanted. For instance, during breakfast, she would smile at me and wave at me to sit next to her. I would just ignored her and sit next to my mother. But that girl wouldn't flinch! She would smile and continue her breakfast. She just wouldn't take the hint! I didn't want to sit next to her! Then she would greet me with that damn smile every time she would see me. I would just ignore her. Again she wouldn't flinch. What the hell was wrong with her? How can she continue smiling like that? Then she would come over while I was studying, asking me to come and play with her. Luckily, in times like these, my tutors would send her away. These were the only moments that I was thankful to them. In general, I didn't like them as well.

Then, the day before Christmas came. My mother, Ms. Rose and Irina left to buy presents to exchange for the day after Christmas. My father was out with Mr. Rose for business as well. So at the house was only me and Amelia, along with the other employees. Compared to the days before, on which Amelia would follow me around and constantly annoy me, on this day the house was strangely quiet.

'That is weird… where is she?' I thought as I went towards my room to study while I was on guard at the same time in case she would jump from around the corner. Then many hours passed but she hadn't appeared to bother me yet. Even my tutors were surprised with her absence. I had to admit that I started to feel lonely, so when I was done with my studies for the day, I decided to look for her around the house.

I knew that I was getting myself involved, however, for some reason, I was worried about her. I looked for her at the kitchen, the living room, her room, her sister's room, her parents' room, my room again, the bathrooms but she was nowhere to be found. It was like she had vanished. I recalled lots of times when I told her to disappear and now that wish maybe became true. I started to feel bad. Maybe I was too cold towards her. I mean, it wasn't really her fault for being raised differently than me, or for having a better childhood than me, or for having more free time than me. That was the primary reason for me to hate that smile of her. A person who can smile like that means that possibly they have a good life.

I had already looked all around the house and I asked the maids, but nobody had seen her anywhere. I started to get even more worried but there was one more place where I still hadn't look. The back yard. I had seen her many times from my window, sitting down there while I was studying. Huh, I was studying and she was wasting her time by looking at nothing. That made me even more angry. But in the end, it was my problem, not hers. So I walked towards the door that was leading to the back yard. When I walked outside everything was white. There was snow everywhere as it snowed heavily the night before. Then I noticed a brown cap moving around.

'Don't tell me…' I said to my self. I felt somehow relieved but angry at the same time because she made me look for her all around the house when she was here playing with the snow. Again… it wasn't her fault at the end. What was wrong with me?

I got dressed and jumped into the snow. ''Amelia!'' I shouted at her. The cap stopped moving and it got higher up. Amelia looked at me confused yet she gave me a smile. Her nose was red and her hands were into the snow.

''Idiot! I was looking for you! What are you doing?'' I asked with a cold tone in order to cover my worry.

''I am making a snowman…," she said without care. I didn't know how to answer to that. She was saying the truth after all and I saw that she had already made half of the snowman. She stared at me for some time as we stood in silence and then she spoke again. "Wanna join?'' she asked, smiling again. Not a single feeling of guilt for making me worried sick about her. She was living apparently into her own world. I felt jealous of her but...

''Sure…,'' I whispered and I joined her. I was angry with her but I couldn't resist. I wanted to play with the snow as well. So I helped her with the snowman. After all I hadn't build a snowman for so long. She seemed really happy when I joined her. She was like a little kid who was eating her favorite candy. We gathered snow, completed the snowman's body and then worked on his head. Everything was fun and I couldn't help but have a smile on my face. In the end, she wasn't that annoying. She was very kind actually and very helpful. Maybe I judged her too harshly after all.

"What are you doing?" I asked her when I saw her taking off her scarf.

"I am giving it to Mr. Snowman!" she shinned me a smile. She looked really cute. Then I noticed that she wasn't wearing any gloves as well.

I sighed heavily. I took off my gloves and handed them to her. ''Wear them. You are hurting your hands.'' She nodded and took them. Then I took off my scarf and enfolded her tightly with it. She looked up, deep into my eyes. Her eyes had a confusing look.

''Seijuro… I think that you are the one that needs them. You are all red. Are you sick?'' she asked with the most innocent look and tone I have ever seen and heard. I hadn't realized my blush and she also didn't realized that I was blushing so I let it pass.

''You should be more careful next time,'' I told her with no emotion and I walked back to the house.

''Where are you going?'' she called.

''Back. You should come back too. You will catch a cold,'' I warned her and left her there.

I entered the house again, closing the door behind me. I could feel my heart beating a little faster than usual. Why was she so cute? I shook my head and tried to calm down. I had to study. Break time was over. I climbed the stairs and I went directly to my room. Once I sat on the desk I noticed that the window was still open. I went to close it and I noticed her cap moving around. So instead of closing the window I just stood there looking at her for some time. She was still working on the snowman. She had too much free time after all.

At some point the cold became harsher so I had to close the window. I took one last look at her, to make sure that she was ok and I returned to my studies, which I hadn't finished as I had believed. Our parents returned home a few hours later. A maid later called me for dinner. When we all gathered around the table I notice that Amelia wasn't there. I asked one of the maids where she was but she didn't know.

''Jee! Today was so cold! In the beginning, it was ok but then it got worse! A snowstorm hit all of a sudden!'' I heard Irina complaining. Then it hit me. Amelia was still at the backyard when I left. If she is not here right now, then there is a possibility that she was hit by the snowstorm. I got up and left running towards the backyard. I could feel my heart beat like crazy from the worry. That idiot went and got herself into so much trouble! When I opened the door that was leading to the backyard a strong cold air hit me in the face. I almost lost my balance but I pushed my body towards and jumped into the snow that now was higher than before. I tried to move into the snow but I wasn't big enough to make big leaps towards the place where she used to be a few hours ago. After some time I found my self in front of a destroyed snowman. The strong wind must have threw it over. I looked around for her and for a moment I thought that she had been abducted but then I noticed the top of her cap in the snow. I knelt down and started to dig. Soon after I found her. Her face was white, nearly blue and cold. She seemed like she was sleeping. I immediately got her into my arms and hugged her tightly so I could at least warm her a little.

''Amelia… come on…,'' I almost begged her. '...that idiot…'

''Seijuro… give her to me…'' I heard her dad's voice from behind me. He got her from my arms and left. My mother came to me and covered me with something warm and she took me inside as well. Amelia's father rushed upstairs to get his daughter on the bed and warm her while my father was on the phone with a doctor. My mother took me to the living room where she asked me what happened. I started to explain to them everything and I admitted that I had left her alone into the snow to go study. I felt so guilty for this. If I had taken her with me while I was leaving, or if I had looked outside when the weather got worse…

''It's not your fault, son…,'' her father told me when he came down and heard the story. ''It's just that Amelia doesn't realize what is dangerous for her…'' Irina rolled her eyes and sighed heavily.

Everybody laughed and left me alone in the living room. I was tired so I leaned back until I fell asleep only to be awaken by a maid to inform me that Amelia was awake. I jumped up and ran to her room. I had to make sure that she was ok with my own two eyes. When I opened the door, without knocking, she was looking outside the window being covered with lots of clothes. I smiled faintly and I felt relieved. She was ok. She was alive and I was feeling guilty for her condition.

''Seijuro! You are here!'' I heard her calling me. She was smiling again.

''Amelia… I am sorry…,'' I apologized.

''Hm? About what?'' she asked completely oblivious.

''For letting you alone in the cold,'' I explained calmly.

''But you had to study,'' she excused me.

''How do you know?'' she caught me off guard.

''Eh? My mother told me that you had to study so I shouldn't bother you. That is why I went to play with the snow.''

''And when it got colder why you didn't come back?''

''Because I wanted to finish the snowman!'' She was an idiot.

''The snowman is done…'' I said slowly.

''Did you finish him?''

''No... there is no snowman.''

''EH? WHY?'' she was shocked.

''Because of the bad weather you idiot!'' After all this she was still caring about the damn snowman?

''I couldn't protect him!'' she started to tear up. No I was the one who couldn't protect you...

''Why would you protect a snowman?'' I yelled at her.

''Because…. Because… Because he was my friend!'' she said and started to cry for real.

''What are you talking about? A snowman can't be your friend! Don't you have other friends?'' I shouted at her trying to understand her way of thinking.

''No! All my friends are back in Europe!'' she cried.

''I see…'' I regretted even asking her that. So she felt sad for leaving her house.

''Hm Hm!'' she nodded.

''Were your friends back in Europe snowmen too?'' ok… I did that on purpose.

''Noooo! You are so mean!'' she started to cry harder.

''I am stating the facts!'' I crossed my arms in front of my chest and I looked at her with pity. It was fun to tease her. I have to be honest about it.

''You are doing nothing! You are just making fun of me because I wanted to make a snowman so I could play with him!'' she got angry now.

''You said it your self. This is not normal!''

''Neither having two different personalities is normal!'' she shout back at me.

''It's normal for me!'' This was a foul. She went too far and I got really angry.

'''Then it's normal for me to have a snowman as a friend!'' she fought back.

''No, it's not!''

''It is!

''It's not!''

''Your eyes are different again! You weirdo!''

''Thank you for your compliment! Crazy!'' Ah… he took over again.

''I am not crazy!''

''You are.''

''And you are pervert!''

''I am not!''

''Prove it!''

And that is how the rest of the day passed. During Christmas things weren't better either. We fought almost all day until we fall asleep. I found it weird how she knew about my personalities, so I asked my mother about it and she admitted that she was the one who informed them about my condition. But only the ladies of the family knew about it. She said that they had to know it as they were living in the same house with us. I understood that so I didn't get angry with her. Then I realized that I was at fault with Amelia's case as well and that I had to apologize. I was the one who was always harsh at her. She only wanted to play or have some company. I teased her a little too much and that I why she used my state as an attack. Thankfully she also apologized for calling me weird and we started to talk like two normal kids in the same age group. We made a new start.

"My name is Akashi Seijuro. Nice to meet you," I said and I gave her my hand.

"My name is Amelia Rose. Nice to meet you! Seijuro!" she said happily and gave me her hand as well.

"Let's become friends!" I suggested.

"Yes!"

Our relationship got better as days passed. I made a friend finally! I was really happy about it! We would talk and play and I would even help her with her Japanese as she would attend the same school as me the next year. All was good until New Years, when my father caught me off guard.

''Father… what?''

''You heard me. Me and Mr. Rose decided that a great way to seal the deal between our companies is marriage. The marriage between you and Amelia. You have the same age after all and we saw that you have a good relationship, so when you get old enough, you will get married. Your kid will inherit both of the companies and-''

"Wait wait wait. Marriage? KID? Weren't they supposed to stay until the deal was done with?" I asked. Things were getting very complicated and really fast.

"That was the plan… but because of some unfortunate events, Mr. Rose and his family can't go back to Europe for now. Maybe later. So they will stay with us until they manage to solve their problems there."

"This is all crazy… I don't want to get married to someone I have no feelings for! We don't even like each other like that! What does Amelia say about this?"

"Amelia? Amelia knew that this could be a possible future arrangement beforehand. Her father assured me that there won't be any problem."

I felt betrayed. Basically everyone knew expect me. Even Amelia knew. I was expecting it from my parents. Of course if they were to inform me beforehand I wouldn't be cooperating so easily, but Amelia? I thought that we were friends. She should have told me! However, now everything started to make sense. She knew it! Of course she knew it. That is why she was acting like she was. That is why she was only smiling and was trying to be closer to me, because she was trying to make me like her in order to make the deal go through. That is why she wasn't reacting at all and she was so kind to me all this time. Because of the deal… not because she wanted to be my friend.

I left my father's office and went to my room. I was so angry. I felt so betrayed. I felt like a fool. I started to feel a mix of disgust and helplessness… I didn't want to see her or speak to her again. I just hated her. And I made it pretty clear to her. I went to find her immediately. I found her easily as well. She was at the garden looking at the kois.

''Oh! Sei! Sei! Look at them! Aren't they big and happy?'' she smiled at me. That smile… that smile she was using to deceive people… that fake smile again.

''Amelia…''

''Yes?''

''You knew about the wedding?'' I asked. She froze. She stood up and looked at me.

''I knew… but why do you know about that?'' she asked with a serious tone. A tone I hadn't heard again in the past.

''My father just told me,'' I said back with the same tone as her.

''I see…,'' she only said and turned away from me. I waited for her to say something… anything to help me forgive her… for some reason I wanted her to help me to forgive her. Anything. I wanted her to say something. Anything. But she wouldn't speak. I cringe my teeth and felt a huge disappointment deep inside of me.

'' 'I see...?' That is the only thing you can say? I thought we were friends Amelia!''

She didn't answer. She wouldn't even face me. I felt so disappointed and humiliated.

''Amelia… from now on you and me are over. We are not friends anymore… And don't call me 'Sei' or by my name anymore. And at school act like you don't know me and like you never knew me,'' I spatted and walked away. I waited for her usual characteristic goodbye remark but nothing. I would really miss it. This and her calling me 'Sei'.

Ok! That was the first chapter! Different from the one in the past. I hope you liked it. Thank you for reading! See ya in the next chapter! ^_^
