Chapter 2
Jason Edwards was a very complicated man. At the tender age of 21 he seemed to have it all. Stunning good looks, wealth and he was next in line to become head of the most successful law firm in Japan. However despite all of his good fortune, something was missing in the young man's life. But what was it exactly? He had followed the plans his parents had for his life like a good son. He had gone to law school and graduated at the top of his class. He hung out with all the right people, went to the right social events and dated all the socially suitable women his mother picked out for him. Yet the unhappiness inside Jason was so deep that at times he felt he could reach out and touch it.
Jason had been home for little more than hour. His best friend Malcolm, a successful dentist, had chided him all the way home for trying to catch the bus.
"Why in the world are you riding a bus", the platinum blonde dentist asked. "You have a Porsche, a Benz, and a stretch Hummer!"
The blonde had simply shrugged his friend off but this wasn't the first time he had been at the bus stop. He was so tired of his boring day to day routine that he often tried to do things to spice up his life. Why he was so dissatisfied with his life, Jason couldn't say. It was his dream or as his father put it "his destiny" to take over the family law firm. But these days Jason wasn't so sure what his dream or his destiny was or if it even mattered.
The young man roamed his vast, empty home until he finally entered the kitchen. His cook Isabelle had left his dinner in the stove. Jason grabbed it and headed to the living room to watch some television. The large home was so empty and quiet it disturbed him. It was even worse than the home he had grown up in. His mother and father always gone to some social functions and him left behind with the nannies and servants. Is this what my future holds? Slaving away at the office just to come home to an empty house? Is this really my destiny or am I living my father's dream? The lawyer ran a hand through his short blond hair and decided to pour himself a drink before his thoughts completely overwhelmed him.
After he finished his coke and rum, he headed upstairs to his home office to get some work done. His wondered to the cute girl he'd meet at the bus stop earlier that day and he remembered her sass with a smile. She had been the one bright spot in his day and Jason wanted to know more about her. He turned on his computer and looked up the last name Hino. The Hikawa Shrine and information about a man in politics with the last name Hino came up in the database. Jason smiled as he wrote both pieces information down, one of these had to be associated with her.
"Firecracker Hino", he said with a smirk, "I told you we wouldn't be strangers for long".
& For the first time in a long, long time Jason felt something light up inside him.
