Yuuko Takada is my name. I am the mistress of the Takada clan in Kyoto, while my father is the clan leader. My mother died when I was only a child from a deadly plague that had swept through Japan, because of this I was pressured to take over her position.

Kento Nakajima. The man who changed my life mere months ago. We met at the annual festival. One week after we met he confessed his love to me because he was frightened that he wouldn't return from the impending war. He was a samurai of the Nakajima clan, and his father was the clan leader. Because Kento's father had grown too old to fight in battle, Kento became the leader of his fellow samurais, willing to defend and represent his clan for his father.

After the war, he returned home safely. On the bridge over the Hanabi river, he grasped my hands in his and revealed that throughout the war, the only thing that kept him alive was the thought of seeing me. Kento then proceeded to ask me to court him. I accepted, joyful tears slipping down my face from the touching story. Our parents and clans approved of this match, and so the story of the two fated lovers began.

Hi ._.

So after reading other JE fan-fictions I decided that going back in time would be a new change of pace. The cover image really inspired me to create this story XDD

If anyone happens to read this keep in mind I have school and so does my editor.  Trust me though, being patient for this story will be worth it ;)
