Changes

Chapter 1

Asami Ryuichi is a cold and calculating man. Everything he does is to further his position or get something he desires. Usually he can force his will upon others. Make them squeal and beg him to take what he wants and leave them be. But this was different. He could not break his newest enemy and had to think of a new tactic. Which is why he stands here now. Wearing a new Armani tux in a church filled with people he cared little about, faking a smile as a woman walked towards him dressed in white.

The woman is Uchibayashi Chihori. She is unspeakably plain and tries to cover that fact with mountains of makeup. If her grandfather didn't have so much power and he didn't need to advance his position in the world this marriage would never be happening. As she finally reached the altar he accepted her hand with a gentle kiss. Romantic vows and over the top reception followed before the two headed out on a luxurious honeymoon, paid for and planned by Chihori's grandfather.

"I know you only married me because my grandfather made you." Chihori said draping herself over Asami's arm "But I know you'll grow to love me like I love you."

"I doubt that." Asami replied in a cold voice.

One month after the honeymoon Chihori was found to be pregnant, something she used to get what she wanted from Asami. Even though he could not stand the woman he had a soft spot for children especially his own. Chihori threw the pregnancy in his face and demanded so much under the guise of "keeping their baby happy". It six weeks into the pregnancy that they discovered she was carrying twins and that meant everything she wanted their had to be two of them, one for each child.

At eight and a half months she gave birth to one boy and one girl both healthy. Both seemed to inherit their mother's looks while only small traces of Asami could be seen. She decided then and there that her children would be spoiled rotten. They were given only the best things in life and wanted for nothing. Everything was perfect for them until Asami decided to try and teach them some respect. It started when they were three. Kazu, the son, and Sui, the daughter, were playing in the living room under the watchful eye of a babysitter while their parents were out.

"Alright Kazu, Sui, time for bed." The babysitter said with a smile as she started to pick up their toys.

"Me no want." Kazu said still playing while Sui shook her head.

"I don't care. It's time for bed." She said again taking the toys from the two.

"Give." Kazu said sticking a hand out for the toy.

"No."

"Give!" He screamed.

"No." She said again.

"GIVE!" He screamed louder.

"NO, it's time for bed." She replied picking them both up in her arms.

"NOOOO!" They both screeched, thrashing in her arms. Sui even bit her shocking her and causing her to lose her grip. They both ran back to living room and dumped their toys on the floor once again. When the sitter tried to pick them up again they started chucking blocks and various other toys at her. This is the scene that Asami and Chihori came in on.

"What is going on here?" Asami asked his cold, commanding voice causing the people in the room to freeze.

"I was trying to put them to bed but they refused to listen. They started screaming at me when I tried to bring them to their rooms, Sui even bit me. Then when they got free, they came in here and proceeded to throw their toys at me." The sitter explained.

"Is this true?" He asked his children to which they nodded.

"We no want go bed daddy." Sui said.

"If someone in charge of you tells you to do something you do it. You have to have respect for your elders." Asami explained crouching to their level.

"But mommy said we no have listen to her." Kazu said pointing to the babysitter "She common."

That was one of the many times Chihori taught their children the "right" way of doing things and her lessons seemed to stick more than Asami's did. In the end spoiled didn't even cover what their children were. Kazu and Sui were selfish and rude with no respect for their elders including, it seemed, their own father. Asami fought Chihori on it and in the end of it all Chihori won. Asami moved them to a bigger penthouse which had enough rooms that everyone got their own. Asami ignored his wife and family as much as possible and only appeared loving towards them when in public.

This was Asami's life and it made him only work that much harder to find a way out of this loveless and horrible life. It was when Kazu and Sui turned ten that the changes in Asami's life began.
