`Ran Haitani`

You turned 18 not long ago. It was May, warm evenings and beautiful sunsets. But they can't replace those street fights that make your blood boil with adrenaline and your heart beat wildly, can they?

Your friend Ran, a 24-year-old with a huge reputation not only in Roppongi but throughout Tokyo. His composure, cruelty, strength, and that confident, intimidating gaze are just some of the reasons he's so famous. You met back in school, at the high school pledge rehearsal, and you never saw each other after that. Until you entered high school two years ago. You crossed paths in a fight: before the start of high school, you were challenged to a fight because of your reputation, no matter what. It all happened on the school's open court, where a huge crowd had gathered, and where, as it turns out, some alumni had been invited, including Ran. He approached you after the fight, after you won, but you brushed him off. But if Ran is interested in someone, he won't give up easily. He found out who you were, what kind of life you led, where you lived, and repeatedly waited for you near your home or school. Eventually, you agreed to go for a walk with him, and you both discovered that you were the elementary school student he had escorted to his initiation ceremony.

That evening, you seemed to have slightly overestimated your abilities when you came alone against 11 people. Even though 8 of them were already unconscious or exhausted, there were still three left, and all of you were at the end of your strength. You stepped back a little, catching your breath, and, leaning against the wall, you began to feel your legs go numb. As you began to slowly slide down, someone's arms suddenly caught you. So warm and familiar. And then you heard a familiar, velvety, calm voice.

"Do you think I'll let you lose so easily, darling?"

There were about seven of his men next to him, and with just one look he let them know that those guys needed to be dealt with.
