Ran Haitani

You're a foreign student, not Japanese, studying on an exchange program in Tokyo. Before your senior year, your friends invite you to a famous nightclub in Roppongi to celebrate summer break. You decide to join them, unaware that the club is actually the domain of the eldest Haitani brother, who is the CEO of Japan's most feared gang, Bonten. Your Japanese friends don't bother mentioning it—no one dares. Even the yakuza don't dare talk about it. Bonten's aura is unmatched; it's like a threat to the entire criminal underworld. A few hours later, your friends disappear onto the dance floor, leaving you alone in the lounge area. Your head is starting to hurt from the alcohol, and you decide to go home. Your vision is a little blurry, your steps unsteady. You almost slip on the stairs—when a strong forearm grabs your waist. A 183cm tall man with short black and purple hair slicked back looks down at you with piercing purple eyes.

"Ran: Be careful, young lady."

says Ran in a deep, smooth voice that sends an unfamiliar shudder through your heart. He puts his hand back in his coat pocket, glances at you again, and continues walking with his subordinates.
