It's the semester following Yumeko's arrival at Hyakkaou Academy. Michael's father is dead, and Yumeko is left to face the aftermath. Kira promised to help her-but can Yumeko truly trust someone who once openly declared herself her enemy? Will they keep fighting each other... or will they join forces against a greater threat? As their bond grows, the lines between rivalry and something deeper begin to blur. Is this connection just friendship, or is it evolving into something far more dangerous-and far more intimate? A new player has enteredYumekor the game. She's bold, fearless, and willing to bet it all-for Yumeko... and for her heart. She didn't come just to gamble-she came to win Yumeko over completely. But what happens when Yumeko's heart is no longer hers to give to just one?

(COMPLETE) She was supposed to challenge her. But some games don't end in victory, they end in surrender. Yumeko Jabami transfers into St. Dominic's Academy ready to break its corrupt system-one gamble at a time. But she doesn't expect Kira Timurov, the ruthless Student Council President with a collar in her hand and a kingdom under her heel. They were meant to be enemies, but tension this sharp can't stay clean. Kira rules with silence and control. Yumeko answers with chaos and temptation. Every glance is a dare. Every game, a test of limits. And when power slips between fingers and obsession takes hold, someone's going to break the rules. Or someone's going to kneel.

Clara Alexandrova and Miku Martineau are both young, famous, and loved by fans-but they can't stand each other. For years, they've tried to outshine one another with awards, shows, and interviews. Everyone knows about their rivalry. One day, they both get cast in a big movie called Silver Strings. It's about a rock star who falls in love with a fan. Clara plays the rock star. Miku plays the fan. Neither of them knew the other had been cast-and when they find out, they both want to quit. But it's too late to back out. Now stuck together, they have to act like they're in love. That means spending lots of time rehearsing, doing interviews, and traveling for filming. At first, it's hard. They argue, avoid each other, and struggle on set. But as they get to know each other better, they start to understand each other's past and pain. Clara opens up about her health and love for music. Miku shares her quiet struggles and how martial arts helped her stay strong. Their friends, families, and their one mutual friend Eve all watch the change happen. Now the question is: Will Clara and Miku end up falling in love for real-or break each other's hearts?

When the elegant and enigmatic Yumeko Jabami transfers to St. Dominic's Academy, she has no idea that the school is ruled by a powerful student council - and that nearly all of its members are vampires. At the top of this deadly hierarchy is Kira Timurov, the cold, calculating president with piercing blue eyes and an icy heart. Their first meeting is electric. Kira is drawn to Yumeko in a way that terrifies her. Yumeko, meanwhile, senses that there's something monstrous lurking beneath the surface of this prestigious school - and inside herself. As secrets begin to unravel, Yumeko discovers that she might not be entirely human. Haunted by flashes of strange memories and an instinct she can't explain, she begins searching for answers about her true nature. With the help of her human friends Mary, Ryan, and Michael, Yumeko uncovers the hidden history of the school, the vampire council, and the alumni who still pull the strings from the shadows. As she draws closer to the truth, she finds herself caught between two worlds - and between her growing power and her growing feelings for the one person she was told never to trust. But when enemies from both the vampire and human sides threaten to destroy the fragile peace, Yumeko must choose who she really is, and what she's willing to fight for. Can a girl caught between bloodlines and buried secrets truly survive falling in love with a monster - or is she one herself?

At St. Dominic's Academy, power is everything-and love is the most dangerous gamble of all. Kira Timurov is untouchable. Cold-blooded. The queen of calculated games. Yumeko Kawamoto is reckless. New. And entirely too fearless for her own good. When their rivalry turns into something darker-something addictive-they begin to play a game no one else can see. One move at a time. One dare too far. One kiss that shouldn't have happened. But the deeper they fall, the more they risk. And not every girl walks away from the table whole. In the end, the game never loved them back.

They were childhood friends - daughters of powerful men from two different worlds. Yumeko Jabami, the frail heir to the Yakuza. Kira Timurov, bold and bright-eyed, born into the Russian mafia. In the brief calm of a gathering meant to unite their families, the girls found each other beneath the stars. But time, distance, and tragedy erased everything. Now at St. Dominic's University, they meet again - strangers. Yumeko, a quiet transfer student, has been given one final assignment before she can fully claim her place in the Yakuza: protect the daughter of the late mafia boss Arkadi Timurov from those who want her dead. Kira, now the cold and brilliant campus queen, has no memory of the girl who once stood behind her like a shadow - and no idea that danger still circles her family. They don't recognize each other. But their lives are already bound by blood. In a world shaped by power, secrecy, and legacy- what happens when two forgotten hearts are forced to collide again?

At St. Dominic's Academy, where power is currency and gambling determines social rank, two elite families-the Timurovs and the Jabamis-arrange a strategic marriage between their daughters: the elegant, cold-hearted Kira Timurov and the fiery, thrill-seeking Yumeko Jabami. The marriage is a political move meant to unite two empires of influence and wealth. But neither girl wants it. Kira, trained to follow duty over desire, hides her resentment beneath icy control. Yumeko, born for chaos and freedom, is furious at being turned into a pawn. When the engagement becomes public, the academy erupts in gossip and high-stakes drama. Kira and Yumeko go head-to-head in games, trying to assert control over their fates. But amid the rivalry, an unexpected tension builds-one that feels less like hate and more like something deeper, more dangerous. As secrets unravel and alliances shift, both girls must choose: destroy the system that caged them, or use it to rule together.

When a hit goes wrong, rival assassins Kira Timurov and Yumeko Kawamoto are forced to work together. But the mission hides deeper secrets-ones tied to a black-ops project that connects their families. As enemies close in and trust grows uneasy, the line between survival and something more begins to blur. Or, Two rival assassins. One shared past. Zero room for mistakes-and too much room for feelings.

A new school year begins, and Yumeko now sits on the student council, a dangerous force hidden in plain sight. Behind closed doors, she and Kira share a secret alliance, working quietly to bring down the corrupt board from within. But as their hidden partnership grows stronger, so does the unspoken tension between them. Kira's curiosity about Yumeko begins to blur with something softer, more intimate-an unacknowledged feeling neither of them dares to name just yet.

"I'll see you next semester partner." Giving her a sharp pointed nod, Her partner responding back with a tiny hesitant nod. Yumeko quickly darts back downstairs through the other exit, she's left alone, standing back as she looks towards the small of her back. 'Yet again.' A yumekira fic in Kira's perspective!
