Chapter 1: WTF ARRANGEMENT?!

-flashback-

At a manor, a daughter and father were arguing at the living area. The whole place was grand. Blue colored walls that's decorated by expensive wolf paintings, howling wolf draperies hung atop the high ceiling, dark blue curtains covered the windows and a fireplace which was lit by a roaring fire illuminated the room.

Two maids were calmly dodging each and every porcelain figures that the woman threw around and skillfully caught anything that has high value. The two are in heat of argument and everything was flying round.

"dammit old man! You know I hate arrange marriage!" a female voice said in anger.

"but cub, you're my oldest daughter and you know that the Kyoto branch is being targeted by those Artai scums." A male voice pleaded.

"but dad!" the female whined.

"this is what your grandfather said on his deathbed. You are to be engaged to the heir of my bestfriend and you shall be married in a moth after the engagement!" her father said in a cold commanding tone.

She growled and took a wood from the side of the fireplace and threw it hard to the fire which caused uproar in fireplace. The fire illuminates her emerald eyes that show anger and frustration. She gritted her teeth and huffed a deep breath. "why don't you do something about it dad?! You are my father thus it's your duty to assure your daughter's happiness!"

"you have to do this, for tradition! For 'her' sake! If not, your whole inheritance would be pulled out and you know what would that do." Her dad commanded. Her dad honestly didn't want to put her in that situation but the looming threat to the Kyoto branch of their company would definitely be a loss and the arranged marriage which her grandfather had conjured up for her is a law to them.

She cursed under her breath and stomped out of the living room. she yelled out: "FUCK TRADITION! IF THAT'S HOW YOU WILL PUT IT THEN FINE!"

-end of flashback-

Loud engines of a Ducati Street fighter could be heard across the freeway. A leather biker suit clad biker's revving her bike to max speed and on its way to Kyoto, a four hour, 500Km run from Tokyo.

She was Natsuki Kruger, step daughter of Kenji Searrs. She's officialy the heir to their large scale company at the age of 17 and now, at her age of 24, she's the vice president of their company. She's called the ice princess since she's a stubborn and rebel type of girl. There are only a few are the ones who she actually interacts with and not get pointed with a gun in the head. And the recent declaration of her having to be engaged to a person she hasn't even met.

'damn tradition! Three days ago he just came to home and declared that. Stupid dad! He better take care of her while I'm gone!' she angrily thought, revving up her bike and passing the cars that blocked her way.

-500km away from Tokyo-

At a five-star hotel, a massive crowd of reporters, paparazzi and fans filled the entrance. Guards and hotel staffs took crowd control and gave way to a certain woman with a honey colored hair. She was wearing a slender violet kimno, her hair was dropped down to her waist and swayed to the breeze which made everyone awe in adoration. Her eyes are covered by a pair of dark shades and she showed a smile and wave to everyone.

"Viola-sama! Please look here!"

"Viola-hime, can I have your authograph?"

The woman called Viola smiled at them and bowed her head in apology. "Kannin na everyone, but I have a meeting with my manager inside so I must decline with all of your request. I do hope that won't make you stop from being my fans." She said in her thick Kyoto-ben accent and a smile that seemed like a façade.

All of her adoring fans (even the reporters and paparazzi) have cheered for her and yelled out that they are devoted to her. she gave them a final smile and wink before entering the hotel.

She's Shizuru Viola, age 25. She's one of the most renowned actress and daughter of the Kyoto business tycoon. She's famous all over Japan and as showbiz trend, she has a boyfriend and he's one of the male hottest actors there is.

Inside the hotel, she was greeted by her manager; A blond haired woman and a mousy haired woman that wore a pair of glasses.

"you're mate Bubuzuke!" the blond scolded, tapping her foot to the carpeted floor.

"it's 'late' Haruka-chan. But Shizuru what took you so long?" the mousy haired woman asked, adjusting her frames.

"that's what I said Yukino! Damn bubuzuke, your father left you a message that I bet you'll freak out when you know." Haruka crossed her arms and sighed.

Shizuru quirked up a brow and looked at the two with a perplexed look. "wha does Haruka mean Yukino?" she asked.

Yukino looked around to see if there was anyone in range of hearing. When there was none, she asked for them to go to the hotel suite to talk about it. Shizuru agreed and all of them went to the elevator to take them up to the photel suite which Shizuru was currently residing.

The suite was colored like the sky and the furnitures were all top quality. A king size bed was placed at the middle of the room, a flat screen television hung to the wall infront of the bed, brown sofa was seen by the side of the room with a brown wooden coffee table and the light blue curtains that hung from the veranda of the room.

Haruka sat down to the sofa and beside her was Yukino who sighed in relief as soon as she felt the comfort of the couch. Shizuru just smiled at them and took her already prepared steaming kettle of tea and placed it to a round tray with three cups. She took the tray to the coffee table and offered both Haurak and Yukino a cup of tea.

"may I know what news did my father left for you?" Shizuru asked, taking a nice sip of her tea.

Yukino shrugged. She placed down her own cup and twiddled with her index fingers. "umm… Shizuru.. your father…" she looked at Haruka who was poking the ceramic cup.

Haruka looked at Yukino then to SHizuru. She sighed and faced Shizuru with a weak look. "look bubuzuke, you do know that truth be told, I fate your boyfriend." Haruka said.

"it's 'hate' Haruka-chan." Yukino corrected.

"that's what I said! Anyway, your father had left you a message that you are to be engaged with one of his friend's heir. So…" she rolled her eyes and looked at Yukino for support.

Yukino figited and faced Shizuru with an apologetic look. "uhm… Viola-sama stated that it's already tradition that you marry you omiai in a month's time after you met that person." Yukino said.

Shizuru gently placed down her tea cup and smiled at both Haruka and Yukino. "ara, ara, papa is indeed bad. He know too well that I love my boyfriend yet he still insisted an arranged marriage. But I must decline that and I must do whatever it takes to stop it." she proclaimed with her smile that shows venom.

"but Shizuru, your family has always been with tradition and you know… that toothy smug is not really for you. I don't feel that he's all loyal to you." Haruka said while playing with her straight cutted bangs.

"ara! I'm happy that Haruka's worried about me but rest assured that both Reito and me are deeply inlove. Therefore I would decline-"

Before Shizuru had finished her sentence, a loud thud was sounded outside her suite. The three of them stood up and opened the door only to see a bellboy laying down to the carpeted floor and a leather biker suit woman with a helmet on her head was standing infornt of the bellboy. The woman flipped open her helmet's visor and glare at the bellboy.

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CHECKING MY ASS YOU PERVERT!"

The bellboy scurried away when he saw a deep killer glare from the woman that made him feel like he was going to be thrown out of the building via 50th floor window.

"I must hand it to her, she has guts!" Haruka exclaimed. She pumped up her arm and smirked.

"Haruka-chan, shh!" Yukino said, clamping her hand over Haruka's mouth to keep her quiet.

The woman took off her helmet when she heard some people talking and swayed her head to recompose her long midnight blue hairstyle. She looked at the three people at her left and gritted her teeth when she saw Shizuru. "you! the girl with shades, take this!" she said, throwing a red box to Shizuru.

Shizuru caught the box with ease and looked at the blunette. She couldn't see the blunette clearly so she removed her shades that revealed her crimson eyes and eyed the blunette. "ara? are you one of my fans?" she asked. Sure the woman that threw her the box was a beauty but it didn't clicked to her. she was straight for all she know and she love her boyfriend.

"yeah right, you wish. The name's Natsuki Kruger. For the baddest luck in my life I had to be arranged to you so that box contains your ring and directions to my house. Since your father and my stupid old man forced me to this. You're not allowed to decline or I'll lose everything to me!" she roared, not even looking at Shizuru. She stormed off and left the baffled looking Yukino, the pumped up Haruka and the surprised Shizuru.

"well bubuzuke, I'm guessing that you're officially engaged to a very energetic woman which I might add I am in favor of since she has guts!" Haruka said with a wide smile on her face.

Shizuru was still surprised. She opened the box and saw a amethyst crested ring with a silver band. She shook her head and tightly held the box. "no… no.. no! this cannot be! I'm madly inlove with Reito and I'm straight!" she protested. Shaking her head in disapproval.

Yukino placed a hand on Shizuru's shoulder and gave her a small smile. "Shizuru just talk to your father. Maybe he will reconsider."

"but I blunder… what does that Kruger mean by 'I'll lose everything'?" Haruka pondered.

Yukino sighed and held Haruka's hand. "it's wonder' Haruka-chan but I think it's time for us to go. I'll call you tomorrow for your schedule Shizuru." Yukino said, dragging Haruka to the elevator across the hallway.

Shizuru sighed and went back inside her room. she flopped down to her bed tiredly and buried her face to the pillow. She inhaled deeply and yelled out her frustration to the pillow.

Outside the hotel, Natsuki was twirling her keys when her phone rang. She took out her phone from its holster that's strapped at her thigh and flipped it open. "Kruger here… oh hi honey! How are you?" she said happily.

After talking to the phone for a few minutes, she bid her goodbye to the caller and flipped her phone closed. She held her phone close to her and shut her eyes. 'one month… I just have to endure this for one month…' she mentally noted. Putting back her phone to its holster, she mounted her bike and turned on the ignition. She tested out the roaring ignition of her bike and drove away to her new residence.
