After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii , in December, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan . Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. a few days later, the nation became fully engaged in the second world war.
U.S. involvement in the Second World War was quickly followed by a massive mobilization effort . With millions of man and women serving overseas in the nation's armed forces, most of those who remained at home dedicated themselves to supporting the war efforts in whatever means was available to them.
It has let the great massacres and has shown us the evil that exists within the souls of humanity, a tragic and centuries old phenomenon, has brought untold suffering and destruction to humanity throughout history.
The air was thick with the smell of smoke. The once vibrant city was now a desolate landscape of destruction, the aftermath of the Allied bombing campaigns. Building lay in ruins, their skeletal remains a haunting reminder of what had been lost.
The staccato burst of machine gun fire , the anguished cries of the wounded. The streets were filled with the displaced, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. The worst of humanity in this war, the atrocities committed by both sides.
On May 8, 1945, Germany surrendered. After the atomic bomb was dropped on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945 and the second world war come to an end. The war cost the lives of more than 330,000 American soldiers. Many more were permanently injured or maimed and people still fight for their lives

Akamine Ichimaru, the illegitimate daughter of a Japanese Lieutenant General, she work in a bathhouse due to her circumstances.
Akamine shows a cold expression to the U.S. Army
"Why would I need to served with the one who killed my mother".
One of the soldier pulled Akamine hairs
"What are you talking about? Speak in English, you rat".
Akamine try to escape from the U.S. Army she fought back
"Don't touch me!"
She slapped one of the soldier
"This brat".
Akamine was so scared, she glare with a cold expression
"Don't touch me, don't you dare to undress me!? Stay away from me".
Akamine's reluctant to engage with U.S. Army personnel, she try to run away accidentally she bumped into some employees, leading to a confrontation that results in her falling into a Japan and U.S Army officers dinner meeting room where Akamine father's present.
Akamine was so angry and hurt when she saw her father, her father the man who abandoned her sitting in the VIP room of the bathhouse. She couldn't believe it. He was the last person she wanted to see, especially after everything she had been through, but her father ignored her existence.
Waylen stared Akamine and his mind flashed back to his suspicions and he felt a surge of unease
"Who are you?"
As soon as madam noticed Waylen facial expressions she started fake smile
"Oh my! Lieutenant Commander she's just employee".
As soon as Akamine saw madam signal she bow her head
"I'm sorry,....I'm so sorry for interrupting your important dinner meeting".
The madam scolded her in front of everyone, told her that she was the worthless and would never amount to anything. But what hurt her the most was seeing her father, the man who abandoned her, sitting in the VIP room, enjoying himself while she was struggling to survive.
Waylen's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on Akamine as she poured shake for a group of rowdy soldiers. Her dark hair was tied back in a simple knot, revealing the scars on her neck and shoulder. He noticed the way she moved with quiet confidence, her eyes flashing with a hint of defiance as she met his gaze.
Akamine felt shiver run down her spine as Waylen's eyes locked onto hers. She quickly looked away, focusing on her work, but she could sense his gaze still on her
The Old Madam, noticing Waylen's interest, sidled up to him
"Ah, Lieutenant Commandar, you've found our little Akamine-Chan, she's rare gem, that one".
Akamine was so confused
"Eh?"

"Two of you, get out for a moment"
The madam also noticing Waylen's interest, smilies knowingly
"Ah, you've caught the eye of the American officer, Akamine-Chan. He's a man of few words, but his actions speak louder
Akamine felt so disgusted
"Don't get the wrong idea, also I hate American army"
The old madam glance Lieutenant Commandar Waylen
"Lieutenant Commander, do you want tea or coffee?"
Waylen's expression remained stoic, but his voice was low and even
"I'll take her, Name your price"
The old madam smiled sensing a lucrative deal
"Very well, Lieutenant Commandar. But be warned, Akamine-Chan comes with.... baggage".
