Chapter 1 : I want to live!
Hinode Residence
The smell of coffee early in the morning really wakes up Kahina. She must have her coffee before starting her day. She slowly takes her time enjoying it while watching the news and updating herself about the current events.
"Megamind Corp will launch a new game app this summer... hmm… That is interesting." Kahina mumbles slowly. She already predicts this to happen. Her plan is already in motion for this situation. She will make millions again. Megamind Corp is always under Kahina's radar. Their strategies and planning always pique Kahina's interest. Megamind Corp always comes up with unique and unexpected ways to shake the entire world. Feeling satisfied, Kahina walks towards the shower to get ready for work.
She stands in front of the mirror feeling satisfied with her outfit today. She is wearing a pink peach printed blouse and knee long black A-line skirt and pair with red blood stiletto. On her face, light makeup with brownish naked eye shadow, a hue pink of blush and final touch up with a maroon colour lipstick. Yup, bold colour for her lips. She likes it very much.
With confidence, she walks to the courtyard. The courtyard has a U-shape design specific to ensure that every room has a view towards the central courtyard. The design of the house is the combination of outdoor-indoor design with a modern reinterpretation of a traditional courtyard residence. For the central courtyard, they implement the design of the Japanese garden. With a waterfall in the centre emits the tranquil vibe to the house combined with the reflection of morning sunlight adds more serene morning atmosphere. A few bamboo lanterns are arranged to emphasise that the beauty of light along the winding path leads the eye past the stone pagoda. The Japanese maple shows its zigzag branching pattern. Arching branches with red colour reach over the contrasting ground cover and reflect in a nearby pool of water. Inside the pool, the golden and platinum koi fish happily swim without worries.
"Subordinates greet Young Mistress!" a line for black-suited men bows upon seeing Kahina. The line comprises around 30 people waiting for Kahina respond. They are people under Hinode Group. Hinode is the second largest group in Japan with 30, 000 members and divided to 200 clans. Kahina is the third child of the Head of Hinode Group. She is the only daughter in the family. Growing up with two brothers and raised by the rule of conduct of yakuza, she is not a simple, soft and gracious woman. She is more to tough, cheeky and manipulative but always smiles as bright as the sun. The smile emphasises the beauty of her.
"Morning! Did you guys sleep well last night? May you all have a great day!" She greets them with a cheerful smile. Without waiting for their reply, she just walks past everybody to hug a man standing at the end of the line.
"Morning, Father! I miss you so much."
She acted spoil while hugging her father. Then she gives him a peck on the cheek. Leaving the lipstick stain on it. Her lips curl up upon seeing it. Everyone helplessly glance their boss but nothing they can do. They know how naughty their young mistress and their boss dotted her so much. She always gets away every time she does something mischievous and this lip stain act is her routine to tease her father.
"Morning! How is my baby today? Oh! Your mother will come home tomorrow. We will have dinner together, okay?"
"Yeah! I miss mother so much. I won't miss it for the world. I'll go get mother her favourite cake later." After half an hour of conversation about the current status of the company and organisation, she heads to the office.

Ueno Park
Touma Anzai walks along the Shinobazu Pond. He really enjoys the vignette of cherry blossom flowers bloom. He always comes here to think and escape from the hectic life of his Anzai Group. Yup! He is the successor of Anzai Group. The largest group of yakuza in Japan. His father is in the hospital right now after having a heart attack yesterday because of him.
"I wish I was born to a normal family," he sighs softly. He just told her father he doesn't want to succeed the family. He will pass all the power to his uncle.
"Young Master, please reconsider. It is for the best if you just follow the Master's wishes. You are the best candidate. Second Master will always help you ease the burden." Ando pleaded desperately. He has assigned him to serve Touma since he is 15 years old. He knows what Touma really desire, but he really hopes Touma understand the weight of his decision. For him, Touma is the best candidate to lead the group. He is intelligent and always sees a different perspective in every matter. It proves with him as a CEO of Megamind Corp, the company nourishes and prospers under him. Megamind Corp was almost bankrupt before and Touma saw a window of opportunity and bought a 51% share of the company. Within 5 years, Touma construct everything and now Megamind Corp is one of the leading Gaming Development Company but no one knows that what Touma really wants is to be a veterinarian. His love for animals is beyond anyone's comprehension. He obsessed with them, but he knows his father will never approve.
Logically yakuza family doesn't need veterinarian as the head of the family right? It will never give the group benefit at all.
"Please get me some ice cream. Chocolate flavour, thank you." He gives a simple order so he couldn't continue the pleading and nagging. Once Ando starts his nagging, it can continue for hours. Plus, ice creams always cheer him up.
"Young Master..."
"Faster please..." he looked at Ando with puppy eyes. That is Ando weakness. He can't bear to deny him when he looks at him like that. Ando always pampered him since he is five years old. He looks at the back of Ando as he walks to fulfil his wish.
After he couldn't see him anymore, he walked to the bank of the pond. Suddenly a group of kids ran towards him and accidentally pushed him in the river. Splash of water appeared in the pond!
He fell in the water!
