    About this ebook

    At the tumultuous intersection of the ties that bind lies Aiyaka "Ai" Fujiwara. Caught among so many worlds, Ai struggles to find her true identity, where even being surrounded by privilege, wealth, status, and possibly even supernatural powers, can't resolve her secrets or painful past.

    Oh yeah, and if that's not tough enough, fate can be a cruel trickster. Since there's the time that delinquent slacker guy, her classmate Kou Huang, who has his own secrets and troubled past, blackmails Ai, only to ultimately trigger a lifetime of servitude...

      Chapter One

      Ai

      A nd you all have officially chosen your new student body council members.  For the president, we have Aiyaka Fujiwara! For the vice president, Zale Ōkami. For the treasurer, we have Yuma Fujiwara! And for the secretary, we have Yua Fujiwara! Dr. Nora Johnson, their elite academy’s principal, announced.

      For a moment, the applause was almost deafening to Ai’s sensitive ears, as she stood up on the stage, overlooking the crowd of her high school peers.  That was before the auditorium exploded into chatter all around her too...

      O-M-G! They’re like the Fujiwara Clan... well... plus one anyway.

      Oh, I just knew it! Aiyaka Fujiwara is our new student council president!

      She’s so cool!

      Sigh... I wish I had curly hair like hers.  It’s so beautiful...

      Kou

      MEANWHILE...

      "Did you hear?  That loser is back."

      Oh yeah, the delinquent, a-k-a, ‘the slacker heir’?

      Ha ha ha!  Yeah, that’s the one.  Still as disheveled as ever I see.  Ugh, he’s so disgusting. He’s such a hot, sloppy mess!

      He was gone for like a whole gap year too, or whatever, and now he just pops back up for the next school year one day, out of the clear blue nowhere, like nothing ever happened.

      Oh no!  That means he’s in our class year, and so now, he’ll be in the same classes as us.

      Well, that sucks!

      Mindless cackling ensued then, filling the entire cafeteria with noxious and obnoxious jeers.

      Kou sighed.

      If there was anything he hated more than going to school, it was dealing with all of these gossipy, rumor mill idiots, who only got in here because they were exploiting their families’ wealth, statuses and connections.

      His classmates could all go kick rocks.  He also didn’t like the teachers.  Oh yeah, nor did he really care for the administration much, like the principal and all of them, either...

      Alright, so clearly, Kou wasn’t really a fan of anyone or anything here...

      Except the food. 

      The food here at Erito Academy was always amazing...

      As people continued to talk smack about him, all around him, whispering loud enough to ensure Kou heard every single negative word they all said about him, he sighed again.

      His first day back at school in a year, and he was already being reminded that clearly, the food had definitely been the only thing he’d missed about this miserable place.

      Despite all of that, or maybe because of the fact that Kou had no real desire to be crammed in a classroom with any of these morons at present, he headed to the auditorium.  Apparently, the school was about to announce the new student body leadership.  Not that Kou gave a crap about that.  He would, however, use any and every possible excuse in existence to get out of going to his classes though.

      That was when he saw her for the first time – President Aiyaka Fujiwara.

      Her resting witch face, complete with an otherwise completely deadpan facial expression, seemed way more genuine to Kou than when she forced herself to give that small, fake smile to all the lemmings who’d voted her in as president.  The prez’s real face, which even now Kou was only getting fleeting glimpses of, was suddenly what he wanted to see much, much more of...

      So how could he make that happen?

      Then, he had an idea.

      With an expression like that, she must be hiding something... But what? I guess I’ll just have to find out! And maybe I can use whatever it is she’s hiding to my advantage too... 

      Ai

      LATER THAT DAY...

      Congratulations went all around to the new student council leaders as they walked through the hallways of Erito Academy.  Eventually, everyone except their now conspicuously missing VP, Zale, made their way into the student council room.  Ai could barely catch her breath and get the door closed before Yua started with... well... being her usual self.

      Alright kaichou onee-sama! We’re officially student council members together!  Yay! Yua said as she proceeded to pounce onto Ai... again.

      Ai stood still and straight, taking the full force of Yua’s weight as the younger girl jumped on, and then clung onto her.

      Ai kept her arms down at her sides and retained her composure as she said, I thought I told you to stop calling me, ‘onee-sama.’

      We have the same last name though, plus you’re my senpai, and I’ve always wanted a big sister just like you... onee-sama.

      "But every time you call me that, and then you proceed to pounce on me, and it’s so annoying."

      But onee-sama, it's fun and I get to greet you every time.

      A simple ‘hello,’ would do, and would be much better... you know, for my back,
