Disclaimer: FoR not mine. Story not really mine. -_-;; what do I own? If you know can you tell me?

Also can you tell me what Mikagami's master's name is because I only know of his Chinese name -_-;; Also, I have to use Tokiya instead of Mikagami because both Fuuko and Tokiya are Mikagamis.

In Japanese and Chinese there's a little difference in the English use of masters. Master I will use as head of the ENTIRE family. The children of the family, who are also the masters of the servants will be referred as young masters. Like, Mori is master, and Kurei is young master, if you get what I meant.

And I forgot to mention in the prologue, the descendents were taught not to trust women.

Ok, enough chat. Please enjoy!

Chapter One

"Candles? Check."

"Steak? Check."

"Fresh flowers? Check."

Mikagami Fuuko was checking her items once again. the cleanliness of the room, the color, and the romantic set up of the house. She even dressed up in a lacey blouse and long skirt. Why was she so excited? Today was her fifth anniversary in marriage. She spent a whole month's time on this set up. From advice of her mother, she decides to "seduce" her husband.

She shook her head in her hand. What kind of woman seduces her husband?

Anyway, she was trying to "seduce" the man that took her away from her normal life when she was 18, Mikagami Tokiya, now she's 23. Truthfully, she's not even too familiar with his looks. With all the occasions that she saw him, it could be counted all in her ten fingers. Fuuko didn't even know exactly how he looks until she started looking in newspapers and saw his face matched with his name.

Another thing. Fuuko was still a virgin. What kind of woman married for five years is still a virgin? The only thing that he really kept in touch with her was money. Mikagami Tokiya in her eyes was a mysterious, weird……thing… He can't blame her for describing him like that. What can he expect from a wife that doesn't know him, unsure of his age, job, and birth date?

It all started with Fuuko's family troubles. Her father's Kung fu/karate school couldn't hold on, her brother was sick and had to stay in bed. Thus her mother turned to her two daughters. Mrs. Kirisawa was going to sell her youngest daughter, Meno, to the whorehouse. But Fuuko was about to break the bone of any man that was going to lay a finger on her little sister. She was planning to support the family on her own. but nothing went according as she planned. All of a sudden, this Mikagami Tokiya suddenly just appeared. Just upon hearing 10 million dollars, Mrs. Kirisawa agreed for Fuuko to be married to him, the man she didn't even meet for more than an hour. Whatever. Selling to serve more than one man is selling. Selling to one man is selling. It's all the same to her. Mrs. Kirisawa didn't care as long as she got her money.

Because Fuuko had to support her family especially her brother's medical bills, she obliged. Mostly because of her confidence in her martial arts and strong personality, she accepted. She felt that she wouldn't have any losses in this deal. Because of this, she stupidly got married when she was 18. she still remembered when she left with him at the end of graduation. Everyone congratulated her on finding nice a rich and hot looking husband. That's happiness isn't it? But what really confused Fuuko was that, why did he marry her? It can't be love at first sight. Fuuko wasn't ugly, but to be loved at first sight is kind of hard to believe. These five years, the only thing he did was give her money. Every time he came to see her was to give her her monthly living fees and "allowance". It pissed her off to make it seem like she only cared for money. It was just her mother who wanted the money. But $10,000 a month did give her a lot of benefits.

Just in her second year of marriage, her mother used the same tactic and "sold" her sister as well. The beautiful title as "marrying". She was "sold" to a stock holding company's eldest son, who was a very perverted and dirty man, Fujimaru. Of course the money she received wasn't little. They only took poor little Meno because she was from a humble and poor family. Their son was so "free" and they were scared that the wife he'd take would be just like him, "free" enough to go cheat on him. They picked a little girl who wouldn't even dare to think such things.

Meno already had two kids with her husband. Unlike her, who was married for 5 years and wasn't even touched! This urged her mother to try to make Fuuko have kids with Tokiya. The best way to keep your husband was to have kids. Responsibility would tie them.

Fuuko looked out the window. It was already late. 9:00. Looks like he didn't come for the fifth anniversary either. She went through all that preparation, the food, the set up, and even as going as far as going for facial, all that for nothing. That was stupid! Why the hell did she listen to her mother? She isn't a romantic person, why did she even bother to try to set that image up for him? Fuuko sighed. I have to see you soon. There are some things I have to ask you. She thought. She really did want to meet him. maybe possibly even love him.

Suddenly, a familiar car came into view. Fuuko's eyes widened and she started to fix her self up again. If she wasn't wrong that should be Tokiya's car! She tugged at the lacey collar of her blouse. Shit! I shouldn't have wore this stupid shirt! I knew I shouldn't have dressed up! jeans and shirts are style I shouldn't try to trick him. She hurried to the door.

"Fuuko-sama!!" a male's voice called from behind the door.

Fuuko-sama? That shouldn't be her husband. Fuuko frowned and opened the door. A man in his mid twenties greeted her. "Good Evening Fuuko sama."

"Hello, Saicho." Fuuko greeted back.

"Stop with the formalities. Saicho." A cold voice behind him said. Fuuko averted her eyes to the man behind Saicho. A man in a light sea green suit stepped in, ignoring all those present. He had long silverish hair tied up in a high ponytail that still reached his lower back. His deep blue eyes wandered around the room.

"Tokiya!" Fuuko said shocked. He ignored her.

"Saicho. Go do your thing." He ordered coldly.

"But Tokiya sama! Fuuko sama here…" he was cut short by a cold glare directed to him by Tokiya. "Hai." He replied meekly and went inside the study of the house.

"You should have been sleeping by now." he spoke, not bothering to acknowledge who he was talking to.

"I..I…Was….was… waiting for…you…" Fuuko stammered. Shit! I had everything I wanted to say, how come I cant say it in front of him?

"You don't need to wait for me." He responded, emotionless. Then he turned around and started to leave.

Fuuko stared. This was the man she waited for all night? That wasn't even 3 minutes! She stared at his fading back. She waited the whole night, just to speak one line with him? And not even a good bye? He left again. who knows when will be the next time he returns? Fuuko continued to stare.

Saicho emerged from the study. "Sumimasen, Fuuko sama." He said before following his boss.

What the hell was that? This was what she waited for? As she heard the car pull away, she grabbed the door and swung it shut with all her might. BAM! His mother! That bastard escaped again! Fuuko was pissed off. Who the hell did he think he was? As if she can't survive without him! I'll show you! She looked around the house. All this month's work for nothing. It made her even angrier.

"Starting tomorrow, I'm going to get a job, and live my youth! I'm not going to stay here and rot!" she declared to herself.

"MIKAGAMI TOKIYA!! I WANT A DIVORCE!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in the car…

"Tokiya sama…ano…about Fuuko sama…" Saicho was trying to help Fuuko. He felt pity for her. He thought hard on how to phrase it. "Weren't you too cruel to her?"

Tokiya remained silent. Ignoring his young master's coldness, Saicho continued. "Master's orders are already spreading…that in a few weeks you'll be 25…if you still can't find the 'key'… you'll have to produce a child to inherit this responsibility… the next descendent of the "Koori no Hebi", Tokiya sama."

"Since when were my matters a concern of yours? Saicho." Tokiya said in a harsh tone.

"Sumimasen, Tokiya sama! I was wrong to interfere into your matters!" Saicho apologized immediately. Even though they can be considered best friends, they grew up together, Saicho would still be chilled by his ice cold attitude. Tokiya was actually a very compassionate person, and kind hearted, even though his appearance was like that of the 'ice snake'. But Saicho was partly responsible for the matter of the heir. It was a tradition in the family, the Ice Snake's descendents were to get married at 20 produce an heir at the age 25. this was a rule unbroken for thousands of years. But this matter was quite important so he started again.

"During these five years, Master's been ignoring that fact that you haven't touched Fuuko sama. But now that you're almost 25, he's getting annoyed. I'm worried Tokiya sama. Um…..do you want me to schedule a time….for you with Fuuko sama alone? Or… how about just have a kid first? So master wont pester you? Or… what the hell am I saying? As long as-" Saicho massaged his temples.

"I have my plans for this, Saicho." Tokiya silenced Saicho with his statement.

They arrived at the Koori no Hebi Security Corps. That was his company. Near his office, there is a small room that was made especially for him to live in. he didn't stay at Fuuko's neither could he stay at home after he got married. 48 stories high, his company was. Inside that room, was deprived of everything, except solitude, loneliness, coldness. Tokiya preferred to keep this all to himself. He didn't want anyone else to feel what he did. Sitting down, on his sofa, he remembered Saicho's words. Speaking of which, his wife, who married him when she was 18…she' about 23 now right? The naïve little girl probably finally grew up by now… he wasn't too sure but that was just a marriage made by his grandfather. As long as "Koori no Hebi" had a descendent, all was fine. No love needed. No feelings. Emotions.

Long ago he had already lost his feelings. Became cold. Distant. It was so natural he despised it. Why should he produce an heir to the snake to endure this pain and torture as he did? To search everywhere for the "key" lost 5000 years ago. No one even knows what it looked like. Only their first ancestors, who first possessed the key. How was he supposed to search for it? Why was it so important? The Mikagami family's done enough. Let it end with him. never again will another woman suffer. Women were ignored in the Mikagami family. They were regarded with caution. Just like his sister in law……Mifuyu.

A single tear slid down his pale face. He didn't bother to wipe it. This is all going to end. This will be the last generation… Tokiya promised himself. He wasn't about to follow his grandfather's orders and produce an heir. Sure, he can get one. In HELL. Old bastard. But he knew he was weak to go directly against his grandfather. In the end, no matter what he thought, he chose the easy way out…running away from it.

"Kirisawa Fuuko… this is the only way in my power that I can make it up to you…" Tokiya said lowly as he looked upon his wrist. A long scar ran along his arm. This scar was given to him by Mifuyu. The last thing she ever gave him. This reminded him of what he had to do. To end this curse. He'll be the last generation. Kirisawa, this is the only thing that I can do for you…

ok, in that line where Tokiya says IN HELL to his grandfather. Before that line he LITERALLY (from the book) was like: he'd somehow 'crip' himself in his reproducing abilities but will have that physical relationship with Fuuko as his grandfather wanted. But he wont be able to have any children so his grandfather can have his grandchildren in hell. I just didn't want everyone to think of Tokiya like that. The book says it like that but it's not TOKIYA. If you get what I mean.

Remember to give me his master's name, I can't use his grandfather throughout the story -_-;; and title is still temporary help with title!! *pleads*
