Pride and privilege go hand and hand. But when pride and ignorance relate to a disease of the mind, they become dangerous. Akito Tanaka and Mashiro Watanabe were "destined" to be together. You could look at this in many different ways. First, they were promised to each other through family ties. They grew up together and spent lots of time getting to know each other. What happens when one mind assumes that nothing can ever be changed in a relationship? What becomes of the relationship when one looks at the other as an equal partner? And the other considers one a sibling? What chaos can this cause in a young girl's emotions.

And what happens when the boy who is eager to become a man loves another woman? Chaos tears people and separates emotional baggage. Greed, lust and miscommunication cause many untold strife. What would you do if you were in a situation you had no control of, and destiny did not cooperate with your plans. Would you tempt the red string of fate by cutting it off at the source, or would you pray that God's will be done?

At Fujikawa Academy a city within a city known for its academics, sports, and theater. The academy had shopping plazas, a food court and different shops. Students lived in dorms or at home. Students received a monthly stipend that was used anywhere in the academy. Students from all over the world fought to attend the academy. Lunch time arrived and Akito and her best friend Nana, discussed Akito's relationship with Mashiro. Nana allows Akito to go on and on about her relationship with Mashiro, fed up Nana lets Akito know exactly how she feels. "Let me stop you before you drown further in your delusions.

"I am not sure why you think that I am delusional. I know deep in my heart and soul that he loves me. Yes, he loves me as a sister but, that is how a relationship will stand the test of time. When I close my eyes, I can picture walking down the aisle and having lots of children with him. I get chills and butterflies when he looks at me. Mashiro is so passionate that he does not mind public displays of affection. Hugs, kisses on the cheek, flowers and chocolates on White Day, what more could a girl ask for"? "What a wonderful dream. It must be nice to live in denial. Reality can be daunting. I wish I could be carefree and a hopeless romantic like you. It's funny how much you are oblivious to the truth. You must be sicker than I thought, maybe you should go lie down in the nurse's office".

"Why do you feel that I need to go to the nurse's office, I'm not ill? And what may I ask is my sickness"? "I would say it is love sickness, but I am afraid that it's worse than that". "What is worse than love sickness"? "Erotomania"! "What in the world is that"? "It is the delusional belief that a person is in love with the affected individual, despite contrary evidence". "How could you be so nasty? Is that what you actually think of me? And for your information, I have never been delusional in my life. In fact, I am rather rational. I told you what is going on with our families and that is that". "I am not disputing that at all. I am saying this man does not love the way you think. You are so blind when it comes to him. I am scared that the delusions will control every aspect of your life. Have you looked at his social media page lately? Look at his page, on his main screen he is in a relationship. Adria is his girl; I see you are listed as one of his friends. On your page, Mashiro is your boyfriend. I don't want you to look bad in these tōri. You are a pretty girl and I know lots of guys who would love to be with you; just open your eyes and your mind. If any man makes you feel like you need to change your entire being, then he is not the one for you. You have a superficial life and to be honest I am embarrassed for you. Because I am your friend you deserve the honest truth and I don't want you to get hurt later, I feel that I must protect you before you invest so many years into loving him".

"I hear your argument and it is very sound. I feel that you want to be me so bad that you are making up this drama in your mind. I pray that one day you get a love that is real like ours". "For the record, you are like my sister, and I know deep down inside you know the truth. It is painful to hear from a close friend the truth. You're hurt and deep down I know you know the truth; the pain is talking so I am going to excuse your behavior today. When you look in the mirror, are you actually happy with you, who you see staring back at you"? "Nana, I appreciate your candor but sometimes I wish you would mind your business. Are we still on for shopping later? Just great; Here comes Himura". "Well that is my queue to leave, see you tonight".

"Hey Akito, how is my favorite girl doing today"? "I am not in the mood Himura. What do you want"? "I can't say hi to you. I saw your heated discussion with Nana, and I wanted to check on you". "Isn't that sweet, Mr. Yakuza has a heart". "You are never to mention that again". "Next time mind your business. "That's fair, I've got something important to tell you. Mashiro is dating Adria and its very serious. So, what are you going to do about it"? "Stop spreading lies, I don't want to hear it". "If you want proof, just look over there. Mashiro and Adria are kwiseon walking into the movies together". "I can't deal with this, it's a complete nightmare. He is cheating on me, I never thought he would ever do that". "Okay, how is he cheating on you when you are not even together"? "Do you want me to talk to her? I can make her change her mind about dating him?

"How would you do that? How can you ensure that she will not be a factor"? "I have my ways; I can be very convincing". "I wish she would go back to where she came from. It's so annoying seeing her dark skin on campus". "Wow; racist much? What is it about that girl you hate? "Please don't get me started, there is not enough time in the day. Her skin is so dark it's sickening. She walks around with her curly hair and is a giant. Boys like small and petite girls with fair skin. The lighter the better. Boys like girls like me, with straight hair and influence". "So, the real reason you don't like her is because of Mashiro. You may have been good friends if you gave her a chance. You are right about one thing; I do like girls who are petite with straight hair. You should forget about Mashiro and date me".

"Fine Himura, just do what you have to, I want them broken up as soon as possible. Jut handle it "Mr. Y". Do it sooner rather than later. I want to wipe that ugly smile off her face." Akito's day was going from bad to worse. She became enraged and wanted revenge on that dark, curly headed giant. Akito was saving herself for Mashiro and he betrayed her in the worst possible way. She hoped Himura could come through for her. Adria had to be punished for ruining her life. Akito feels that Adria has to pay no matter what the cost.

If Akito really wants to make a deal with the devil, then she better be prepared to sleep with the enemy. Akito needs to understand the danger Himura poses to her soul. Himura's family is one of the biggest crime syndicates in all of Japan. They all have hidden tattoos that can only be seen under a magical black light that has been passed down for generations. The Kobayashi's are ruthless, only members from the Kobayashi clan are allowed magical tattoos. Each senior member has to get a tattoo. Each tattoo needs to feed off of the souls of its victims. The larger the tattoo the more kills you have under your belt. Once the soul has been removed, the victim's body turns to ash and disappears.
