Takanari Shin came from a family that served the Ryuzaki family for a long time ago creating a master-servant relationship. He was a childhood friend of Sakuno and very protective over her. 5 years before Sakuno left Japan he left to train in France. Shin knows the reason why Sakuno loathed her mother. It wasn't for a mere reason that Ryuzaki Celine (I'm getting tired of calling her Mrs. Ryuzaki) left Mr. Ryuzaki and Sakuno for another man but for another reason.
After graduating in a well-known martial arts school he received a call from Celine ordering her to guard Sakuno and to prevent her from escaping to Japan.
He has a cold and mysterious demure that makes him look scary to people who hadn't been a long time around but the same time but very alluring. When he's around Sakuno he's loyal and very caring to her even though he didn't show it.

Sakuno took the seat beside the window of the plane and looked over the ground. She hopes it would be the last time she would ride a plane. Shi took a seat beside her and offered her a drink that she gladly took. After 9 long years of staying in America she is finally going back to Japan.
'I wonder if senpai-tachi and Tomo-chan remembers me?' I wonder if they forgave me for leaving without saying the reason behind it?' these were a few thoughts that ran inside her head before a cat eyed boy with a very cocky smirk gracing over his face flashed in her mind.
'Ryoma-kun…' she shook her head wildly
'He never really cared for me. Sometimes I wonder if he thinks I was just one of his annoying fan girls' that thought entered Sakuno's pessimistic mind.
She continued her trance-like state until she felt a light tap on her shoulder. She looked at the one who tapped her only to see a worried face of her childhood friend.
"Sakuno are you alright?" Shin asked her
"I'm alright I was just thinking of my friends back in Japan. Don't worry" She answered cheerfully and gave him a soft smile.
Shin grunted in response and continued reading his book.
"But Please don't call me Sakuno anymore" Sakuno looked at the floor
Flashback
Sakuno walked past her mother when Celine grabbed her. She looked at her daughter straight in the eye. Sakuno saw a mysterious glint in her 'mother's' (insert sarcasm) eye before she said…
" I was really going to allow you to go back to Japan." Sakuno narrowed her eye. She knew her mother is up to something.
"What's the catch?" she asked with fake enthusiasm. Her mother grinned before continuing
"You can't use the name Ryuzaki Sakuno." She smiled evilly
"Then how would Mr. Kaojin recognize me" she asked trying to hide her curiosity.
Celine's smile got bigger before answering.
"I already called my friend. She's an editor in one of a well-known magazine in Japan. I ask her to announce that the most successful and influential woman in here is going to Japan." She said
"In what name?" Sakuno asked her mother while giving her the coldest glare she could ever muster
"Naumi Arisa" she said before walking past Sakuno
End of Flashback
'That's one of the reason why I hate her. She's very tricky" Sakuno thought before spacing out again.

Kaojin Kai was every woman's dream. He has a black hair that looks like exactly like blood and a pair of enticing crimson eyes. Not only for his looks that many women like him but for his social status and wealth as well. Many women would die just to marry him. Who wouldn't? If you're married to a man whose family was one of the most influential family in Japan.
Since he grew up getting what he wanted. He became spoiled and arrogant. For him if you have money you can control everyone and everything around you. But sometimes money alone can't give anything and he has to learn it the hard way.

Kai paced back in forth inside the meeting room. Irritation and anger was clearly sketched on his face. His business partner was late.
"RITA!" Kai yelled for his secretary
"S-sir?" the secretary asked slightly shivering. A Kai Kaojin that is angry is never a good sight
"Where is that Naumi Arisa?" he asked angrily
It took some minutes for Rita to compose her self before answering
"Her secretary said she'd be here within 5 minutes"
"5 more minutes. Listen I had to cancel one of my appointments because of that…" his speech was interrupted when a woman with long hair that is tied into a messy bun. She was wearing a dual colored sleeveless dress and her long auburn hair was tied in a loose half ponytail with soft curls in the end. Beside her was a man with piercing onyx eye entered the room. Kai gaped when he saw the who entered.
"Well Mr. Kaojin, if you would like to leave than leave. I'm sorry if you have to cancel one of your appointments. The meeting can be continued even if you're not here and I wouldn't want anyone to interrupt me when I'm talking" Arisa (Sakuno) said coldly before taking a seat.
The meeting went well with the exception of Kai almost losing his temper because Arisa wouldn't pay him attention. No one ignored him except for that girl.
"Naumi-san, can I talk to you" Kai said excitedly. Sakuno turned and gave him an impatient look
" I would like to invite you to a social gathering in one of my hotels. Here's your invitation" Kai held out a small black paper with red lettering
"Thank You" Sakuno said unemotionally staring at the pink invitation given to her before turning back.

What career first comes in your mind when you here the name Emiko Asukaga? Super model? Actress? Daughter of a well-known Broadway actress?
Well if you answer all of it you're right. Emiko comes from a wealthy family like Kai. Since she was a kid Emiko always get what she wants. She just points at the thing and her parents get it. That is why she developed an outlook that she would like "What Emiko wants Emiko gets" except for a tennis superstar.

Emiko spotted her beloved prince at the crowded amusement park. She walked towards him ignoring the lustful stares she was getting from the guys and a few disgusting stares she was getting from some girls but decided not to cross her knowing that their lives would be miserable if they said something bad to her.
She approached him silently and put a hand on his shoulder. She saw Ryoma turned around and stared at her.
"What are you doing here?" Ryoma asked her coldly
"I was about to ride the roller coaster when I spotted you" She replied cheerfully ignoring the cold glare she was getting from Yuuna
"Wanna ride with me?" she asked him seductively while batting her eyelashes.
Ryoma was about to answer when Yuuna butted in.
"Daddy I wanna go to the haunted house," Yuuna said before giving him a combo of puppy dog eyes and pout. He couldn't say know to her and Yuuna knew that.
"We'll go" Ryoma said and held Yuuna's hand
"Sorry Miss Asukaga" he apologized without a hint of regrets and walked with Yuuna towards that haunted house. Yuuna turned towards her direction and gave her a smirk while mouthing 'mada mada dane' but she wasn't going to give up that easily she ran towards Ryoma and stopped in front of him and held out a black piece of folded cardboard with red letterings.
"Would you like to go to Kai Kaojin's party at one of his hotels?" Emiko asked
"I'm not invited" Ryoma frowned while thinking 'this woman is so annoying'
"Don't worry this I need an escort. So would you be my date?" she asked
"Hn." Was all he replied but Emiko beamed misinterpreting his answer and dashed away after saying meet me in my house at 8:00 sharp.
'This is so troublesome' he said silently to himself
Finished at last! Again, sorry for the late update. There are many problems concerning one of my friend and me…
