Wow! I've been getting some great feedback from this,
especially from Nonki-san! Domo Arigatou!! By request,
Chapter 5 will be about Asai.
(BTW, the general disclaimer applies once more.)

Chapter 5: Asai
---------------
My parents raised me to be a perfect lady that any wealthy gentleman would love to marry. What I thought or cared about didn't matter as long as I was beautiful; a respectable lady. My mother had spent her entire life trying desperately to appeal to the elite. After she had met and married my father, she felt that her only remaining responsibility in this world was the ensure that I shared the same fate. I was prohibited to settle for anyone less than the best. For this reason, I latched myself to Doumyouji Tsukasa.
I don't think that I felt any real attraction to Doumyouji. The only things that I cared about were his looks and his name. If I could snag such as him, my mother would be satisfied with herself, and more importantly, me. From the time I was born, many people assumed that I was a spoiled brat and that because of who I was, I could not possibly wish to associate with those less fortunate than myself. Because of this, I adopted the attitudes that the masses forced upon me. All I ever did in life was try to live up to the expectations that others had for me.
Then the weed came. She embodied everything that I was taught and expected not to be. Nevertheless, she managed to capture Doumyouji's heart despite all of the effort I put into attaining any form of notice and approval from him. Not only had she taken Doumyouji from me, but that weed distanced me from my mother. Mama was upset and frustrated at me and also at herself. She believed that she was incapable of fulfilling her dreams through me. I was merely an instrument to ensure that mother would always have the best men in her family. Yet I had failed at the only goal I was ever meant to accomplish. All because the weed embodied everything that I was taught and expected not to be. All because the weed came.
