A slight AU in which Kira meets Yumeko in a strip club. What happens when the hard-headed president of St. Domnic's, Kira Timurov, can't seem to control herself around the new student and temptress, Yumeko Kawamoto? Will Kira be able to fight her desires or will she eventually succumb to them? enjoy! :)

yumekira slow burn but not maeriri👹 lil bit of yumary... Practically a season 2 in my opinion. Picks up at the next semester. I'm gonna assume they were sophomores..idek. Each chapter will switch back and forth between Riri+Mary and Yumeko + Kira ⚠️TW. ⚠️Will have triggering issues. Like mention of SA. Smut etc.

She came to play, stayed to ruin the game.

Kira Timurov has spent her life fighting for her father's approval, forged into steel by Arkadi's relentless expectations. Now, she finally has her chance to prove herself - leading her family's bid for a high-stakes gambling venture. Everything must be perfect. Everything must be controlled. Enter Yumeko Jabami - the heiress with a perfect smile, the media's darling, and Kira's greatest rival since their teenage years. Reckless where Kira is disciplined, fire to her steel, Yumeko has a way of pulling her off balance - on the boardroom floor and behind closed doors. What begins as rivalry and manipulation twists into something neither of them can deny: an obsession, a chemistry too sharp to ignore. Between power struggles, smear campaigns, and the ghosts of their fathers' empires, Kira and Yumeko find themselves torn between destroying each other and burning the world down together. They were raised to be heirs, pawns, enemies. Instead, they became fire and steel - rivals, lovers, unstoppable.

Kira just wanted a quiet summer, its all she asked but when the one person she didn't want to see shows up shes stuck juggling her complicated relationship with her sister and a growing headache that comes in the form as a dark haired overly excited gambling addict she might just go insane.

She was fire. I was the smoke that lingered. We loved in secret, kissed with poison, and parted like gamblers with no cards left to play. Years pass, but some love stories don't end-they just echo. This is the memory that stayed. This is the way I loved her.

What happens if Miku and Clara made a ¿LITTLE? mistake while they're filming BET? This could change their lives for good or for bad? They could handle all of this? Tbh they don't know....

Kira Timurov never had good control of her emotions, but things get worse when new transfers Yumeko and Yuki Jabami arrive at St. Dominic's, shaking up the whole school and how she runs it. Yuki has only ever known taking care of her little sister and making sure she would help her get revenge for the loss of their parents' lives, but it all changes when she sees a Broken girl who hides behind her power and blue lipstick.

"How are you holding on?" It was Yumeko who broke the silence first. Her voice was soft and quiet, and she didn't stop staring forward-almost as if she knew that if she looked at Kira, the other girl would shut down completely. "That's none of..." Kira started, but then exhaled heavily. Was there a point in lying? Yumeko had already shown her that she was on her side. At least for now. "Not sure yet. Father's angrier with me for framing him. He thinks I did it because he chose Riri, and that I'm 'rebelling' like a lost teenager." She scoffed and finally looked to her side before continuing. "Shouldn't I be asking you that question? You killed a man." Yumeko hummed in response. She could feel Kira's eyes studying her face and let the silence stretch a little longer. "I feel alive," she finally said, "and ready to work my-our-way through the rest of them. They deserve it." In a gilded world of power, secrets, and betrayal, Kira Timurov and Yumeko Kawamoto were never meant to align. One is the icy heir to a ruthless corporate empire; the other, a wild card with a vendetta buried under manic smiles. But after a murder sparks scandal and opportunity, the two find themselves sharing more than a summer estate-they share a mission. Bound by blood, manipulation, and the slow-burning need for vengeance, Kira and Yumeko form an uneasy alliance to take down the corrupt board members behind the death of Yumeko's parents-members deeply intertwined with Kira's own family. Enemies become co-conspirators. Partners in crime.

For as long as Kira Timurov can remember, her life has been dictated by her father's ruthless vision for their family legacy. At seven years old, she learned her future was already decided: an arranged marriage to Yumeko Jabami, the daughter of a powerful Japanese family. Summers were spent together under watchful eyes - some were bright with laughter, others heavy with resentment - until the bond between them frayed into wary silence. Years later, St. Dominic's Academy becomes their battleground. Kira, cold and calculating, refuses to be caged into a future she didn't choose. Yumeko, all patience and quiet defiance, wants only to reclaim the childhood friend she lost. But in a school where power is gambled and won at the table, every smile hides a strategy and every glance could be a wager. Told through the push and pull of the present and summers past, their story unfolds in high-stakes games, reluctant alliances, and moments neither of them can quite forget - a scraped knee and whispered comfort, a stolen kiss under drunken lights, a dare that lingers for years. As the games escalate and family pressures tighten, both must decide what they are willing to risk: the power they've fought for, or the person who's always been at the other side of the table. Because sometimes, even in an arranged marriage, you get to choose how you play the hand you've been dealt.
