Alpina felt the hot blood dripping off from her tail, it felt quite unpleasant because she had mysophobia, she didn't even care about the pain. She was quite used to it. In her previous life she was often neglected by her parents, so she had little physical contact, that was until her dad died after drinking one day in a car crash.

Once her mom found out, Ichika got plenty of physical contact from her mom, but not in the right way. Ichika had many scars from drunken scuffles from her mom and it became an almost daily occurrence. When she was 12 her mom started bringing men home with her. Let's just say there was too much physical contact. It made Ichika very reserved and she started hating germs.

When she was 13 her mom died from choking on her puke when she got a little too drunk one day. She was sent off to an orphanage later where she was neglected once again, there she learned not to expect anything from other people.

Her life at school wasn't the best either, she was bullied because of her mysophobia and lack of interest to have friends. She learned to not care about it because she knew not to expect anything. Don't get her wrong, she wasn't depressed nor did she lack emotions, she just didn't have anyone she trusted enough to show them to.

Once she became an adult she moved away to a big city and began her career as a businesswoman, she became known for her quiet yet professional manner and was very good at her job. She read all kinds of things in her free time, manga, novels, manhuas, manhwas, the likes, you name it she read it.

She died when she was 26 years old and reincarnated as a dragon.

Ichika Fujita was an otaku businesswoman who led an above standard life, about to get promoted at her job; until one day she was walking to her car and looking at her phone only to hear honking, looking up from her phone she saw a truck speeding towards her she thought 'if it isn't the infamous truck-kun I hear so much about, if I'm going to die like this I might as well reincarnate as a dragon or something', she then felt the truck slam into her and everything went blank. 

'hm, not the death I was expecting, though I feel very cramped right now.'

......wait, cramped?

she fractically tried to touch her body, expecting to feel skin, instead she felt...scales?

Why not try my new books: Angel of Death and King of Film

The butler served the dishes in the dining area. Laurice was hesitant at first but the moment she smelled the aroma of the food, she suddenly felt hungry her mouth instantly watered. 

Her eyes swelled when she saw the table filled with sumptuous dishes. There was a steaming lamb stew which is according to the butler a traditional irish stew, colcannon which is also an irish dish that pretty much resembles that of a potato mash only with kale and spring onions, and a pub salad with a tangy tarragon dressing. 

She gulped. 
'Looks yummy! and hearty!'

Sid was pleased to see the look on her face and immediately pulled her a seat on the table. He was feigning his hunger from the beginning but looking at the woman beside him with her bright and shiny eyes he was starting to feel hungry himself. 

He just could not decide what is it he was actually craving for.
...

Laurice was surprised with the sudden gesture and thanked him rather shyly.

'Oh! What a gentleman!'

She wasn't aware that another person was in fact more surprised than she was. Butler Han was starting to feel giddy from his young master's actions. He did not expect him to be such a gentleman especially towards the woman. Back at the villa, he has already seen some differences from his young master but thought it was just out of respect and a way to appease his son and that he was only being hospitable to a guest but now that he was seeing another side of his young master, he was starting to realize that the man has really become quite odd but absolutely gentle and caring and may be a little too bold, towards Laurice. Only towards Laurice.

The butler thought the man was indeed interested with this beautiful woman. 
'Oh! He had finally found the answer! He will inform the madam right away! Such good news and great luck indeed!  

He thought that finally atleast one of the brothers was beginning to show some interest with the opposite sex. He sure hopes to be able to help the madam plan their wedding soon! 

...

On a certain part in Dublin, Capital of Ireland.
An old but beautiful woman was doing her early morning yoga routine sneezed three times in a row.
'Who is it? Who's cursing me? Ruining my zen time.'

If only the woman knew about a particular butler's good news, she might forget doing yoga for the rest of her life and book a flight back home immediately.

...
Back at Woodville Homes.

Both Laurice and Sid was eating quite happily on the table while chatting. It seemed Laurice was indeed a food enthusiast and could not help but keep asking him about traditional irish cuisine. Sid might not be a good cook but atleast he knows his roots well so he was able to respond to her queries. 

"Can you teach me how to make these?" She asked while pointing at the dishes. "And more?" Her eyes was pleading as she bit her lower lip.

Sid really likes it everytime the woman bite her lips whenever she was getting shy or nervous and excited. Her eyes will always complement those feelings. 
It was rather cute and he did not find it annoying at all.
He was even getting curious if she was actually the clingy type when in a relationship.

When he thought of her being in previous relationships already, he was somehow feeling remorseful and envious. 
His eyes deepened.

Sid cleared his throat and said, "You can come at the villa if you want to. I'll have the chef arrange a special demo for you."

'So smooth young master, why don't you just let her live at the villa to save us all the trouble. Everybody happy.' 
An eavesdropping butler was chanting inwardly. 

"I'd love to! Thank you!" Laurice said happily, her eyes were gleaming. She did not realize that her agreeing will not only let her learn how to cook irish in the future but will also make her indebted to the man himself with a high price forever.

...

The two finished off their meal and Laurice insisted on washing off the dishes herself but the servants did not allow her so and just took charge of it and even handled the sorting of the groceries themselves. They just asked her to rest a bit together with the young master at the back porch instead.

Laurice could not refute and could only sigh in submission. She went out of her way to the back porck after she bid her thanks to the servants.

Her lanai was an extension of the living area separated by a floor to ceiling transparent glass sliding door. She went out and saw Sid who was already sitting on the single couch with a book on his hand. 

The moment Sid felt her presence, he immediately asked, 
"You like graphic novels?" 
Laurice noticed that it was her book on his hand that he was skimming.

"Yes, very much. I actually love reading fiction in general better than watching films." She said. Laurice felt there was no harm on telling him about her hobbies and such.

Sid: "Hmm. I see. You also write, don't you?"
Laurice lightly chuckled.
Laurice: "What made say so?" 
Sid: "Just a guess. Well?" 

Sid looked straight to her eyes. Her heart seemed to have missed a beat when she saw those electrifying deep cognac brown eyes. She remained rooted to the ground.

Laurice let out a breath out of her chest and averted his gaze before replying, "I do. I'm into prose and poetry. I do write novels when i'm in the mood. And my favorite so far is actually writing children's stories with graphic arts."

Sid: "You can also draw?" Sid knows the woman was already extremely talented and hearing everything that she was fond of and interested about, was making his heart even more proud of her. 

Laurice was stunned for a second and replied with a 'Hmm'.

She did not say anything else afterwards. 
She just remained standing there. She seems so near and yet so far from him it was making his heart swell.

Sid continued to blatantly look at the woman while she stare blankly in space. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes that's making his heart ache. He hated seeing her like that. 

He rose from his seat and went up to her. 

...

Laurice did not notice that Sid was already right next to her and did not know how long he was standing there for. She just felt a sudden weight on her shoulders. 

She tilted her head to the side and saw that the man was actually leaning on her shoulder. Her eyes flew wide-opened. Her heart started pounding. His face was so close to hers she could almost hear his even breathing. She was caught momentarily by his stunning features and could not help but stare at it. 

The man's eyes were shut. 
'She thanked the heavens for that else she might not have the guts to scrutinize the godly man before her.' 
His lashes were long, His brows were dark and full and arched rather handsomely. His straight greek nose and his full and moist lips are so attractive as if carefully sculpted to complement his gorgeous face. And his hair, his short hair ... his soft-raven black hair which was surprisingly smooth as it gently brushes along her nape was giving her tingling sensations down to her feet. Her toes curl. 
" ... !!! "
The man was sinfully sexy. 

'If only she could touch his face.' She thought while unconsciously lifting her free hand towards the man's seemingly sleeping face only to stop mid-air. She retrieved the hand and gently pat her chest.

'What am i doing?! Calm down heart!' 

She was having difficulty on what she should do at the moment as her heart rate increases until the man leaning on her finally spoke, "Im sleepy." 

Laurice: " ... "

He said he was sleepy?! 
'What the he*l is she supposed to do?!' 
...

Inside the living area, a certain butler was also shocked by what he saw. His jaw dropped.

Butler Han: " ... "

Extra Scene: 

"I like you." 

The man was still lost in his thoughts when he heard the words. It was almost inaudible. Like a careless whisper.

"Y-you like me?" He uttered.

"W-well, i don't h-hate you." Laurice stammered. 

The man arched his eyebrows in amusement. He grinned at the woman who was being defensive. A playful glint flashed past his eyes.

"Can i kiss you, then?" Sid asked.

Laurice: " ...???!!! " A kiss?

After a good show, transaction is finally completed. Graphic Groups was sold for $7 million and Al has promised to inject more $5 million more and move the company from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

George Lucas and Spielberg congratulate him for a success transaction.

"Al, come with me everytime I have some business transaction, maybe they will afraid of your bargaining skill." Spielberg joking.

"Okay but I want comission 20%." Al said with smile.

"You are ripping me brat." He just smiled and shake his head. Then he saying farewell to him and continue to discuss the <Indiana Jones> post-production results with Lucas.

He already call Ari Emanuel to find a good office in LA and found them in Playa Vista for $70,000 a year.

The new President will be Alvy Ray Smith, and Al will meet some of the rest 40 employee to discuss the Graphic Group problems.

The next day, they arrive at Graphic Group office in Richmond, California. He meets with some of the co-founder of Graphic Group.

All of the Graphic Group employee knew that Edwin is quitting and some of them resign and follow him, so now the company only have 25 people left, most of them are young people.

"Okay, I want to ask what this Graphic Group has made before?"

Alvy said, "Well we have this program called REYES, a 3D converter computer program, and also an Image Computer, we called it Pixar Image Computer, used for working on CGI and we also trying to work on animation department, John Lasseter here have made animated the short film The Adventures of André & Wally B."

He tell his new boss what they have planned with Edwin before, to sell Image Computer and make an animated film.

He was afraid that his new boss would disregard the their 3D animation dream and focusing on making CGI effects.

Al smile and nod, and said, "Okay, I won't cancel any of your work before, but the opposite. Firstly I plan to rename this company name, its too old fashioned, I will rename it to Alfheim Studios."

"Alfheim?" Alvy ask, "It means realm of light elves." Answered Al.

Alvy ask again "Weird name, is it greek?" Al just shrugged and said, "No, its from norse mythology."

"A good name." Everyone else also nod.

"Then this company will be focused on 3 things, as you said before I will continue the animation department, not only 3D but also 2D."

Everyone feel happy about it, especially Alvy and John, Edwin is not here to see this day come. Too bad he is underestimating this boy, sometimes he is too arrogant and felt humiliated to work under a boy.

"Second is to continue the CGI works, but I need improvement and new technology. So this department will be combined with research department. I want to make the effects as good as possible and all of you here going to help me to realize it."

Everyone agrees to this idea. Al really plan to bring a 2020s CGI, VFX, and motion capture technology to 90s. He will make many aqcuisition to some special effects company and bring it under banner Alfheim Studio.

"Third is to make a game developer department, but this won't be realize until 3 to 5 years. Current game console is only have 8-bit processor, I plan to make 16 ... no, 32-bit and make this best game company, but due to lack of graphic expanssion slot in some computers and console, we plan to delay this first, just make some foundation."

Now everyone see Al in different light, he really understand about computer and graphic technologies, not only that, he aim it higher .... no, highest.

After some discussion, they agree to make Malcolm Blanchard as Vice President, John Lasseter as Alfheim Animation Leader, Ralph Gugenheim as Special Effects Leader. For game, he will do some outsourcing.

The Alfheim employees also surprised by their boss knowledge of programming and made many suggestion to improve the software capabilities of REYES.

The only problem is how the hardware could not cope up with their software. The current technologies is suck, no graphic slot enchancement in regular computer, how the hell he supposed to do any rendering.

So they just improve slowly, wait the right time for hardware develops, and they are focusing in improving Pixar Image Computer first.

The Alfheim Studios will move to Playa Vista next month after New Year 1984 and no one in Alfheim Studios has problem with it.

Well, 3 of the 9 realm has completed, Muspelheim Film, Nidavellir Finance, and Alfheim Studios.

The next thing is he really need to go back to orphanage before Christmas or Mrs K and Mary will be very mad at him.

-----------

Today is a Christmas Eve, so the 7 of them are decorating the Christmas tree, now they are glaring at Mary who relaxing and drinking her cofee.

"Oh come on Mary, really?" Al said, complaining to Mary, while the 7 other kids are also repeating his words.

"Oh come on Al, its my first day of my vacation, yesterday was really tiring! Let me relax a little." She complained.

"Mrs K!! Mary won't help us!" He call Mrs K, "Solve it on your own Al, I'm too old for this." Mrs K said and made Al have a black line.

Then Al sneak behind Mary and pull her into the Christmas tree, with the help of other kids of course.

Now Al's height has reach 168 cm or 5'6" and now bit taller than Mary. So he easily carry her to be sacrificed under the christmas tree.

He now has a lean and strong muscle due to exercise program and food diet he plan. He also force the boys to join his training programs. The girls also joined too, well only Annie but she is a singularity that can't be corrected even when the Counter Guardian came.

After they made Mary to help them, Mrs K bring them a hot chocolate and few cookies. They gather at living room and Mary had a little talk with Al.

"Please Mary, be CEO of Yggdrasil! You have promised that if I made a company, you'll be the CEO! Even Toby and Jon also want to join my company!" Al begging her.

"Yeah Mary, we can be co worker." Toby also encourage her.

"Oh really Toby? I'll make sure you become my errand boy for 10 years Toby." She smiled evilly

Toby's face become pale and immidiately said to Al "For another thought Al, I disagree to let Mary join Yggdrasil."

"Marrryyyyy." Al whinned. She smiled and said, "Okay okay, I can't believe I made that promise years ago. Guess I will babysit you again until you're an adult."

"Woohoooo, Mary finally join!" Al and others are cheered, except Toby.

"But I won't join now, wait at least 1 year, I need to finish some business in my current work first."

"I will wait but not long, or I'll find another person to become CEO of multibillions media company!"

After some debacle created by this munckin, they have another relaxing night, the time is showing 9 o'clock and they are watching some tv series together.

This year's winter is colder than before. A small rain occurs this morning and now only drizzle can be seen from evening.

There is no snow in LA, even in winter, the last time snow appeared in LA was on late January 1962.

Suddenly, the front door bell is ringing and everyone is confused. Who would have come this late night in Christmas's Eve.

Al came to the front door, open it and see the image that will haunt him forever.

After (y/n) talk with Neji about his obsession with destiny, something changed in the young Hyuga. He stopped obsessing about his destiny and would use his time when he could to help train Hinata. Wanting to help her when he could. Not only that but he would stop obsessing overtraining as much. He would take time off either spending it with (y/n) or helping Hinata. (y/n) meanwhile was going more into research trying to figure out who Madara was. Even sneaking around trying to find any files she could. But nothing worthwhile and everything she looked at was from years back. Back to the time of the First Hokage. (y/n) had just closed another file only to find nothing. Why did Itachi mention his name if these files are correct he should be long dead by now. So why would Itachi mention his name she asked herself. After looking through another file. Before putting it to the side. After a while, she let out a sigh and decided to give up for the day. She stretched her arms and went to put the files back where they belonged before heading home. Now (y/n) would need to handle her newest mission GET RID OF KAKASHI'S NOVELS. The reason wasn't that she had anything against him reading them. He was an adult but reading them in front of minors who are naive or are too young wasn't acceptable. Worst-case scenario if a kid got ahold of it they might be exposed to something they didn't know. Even worst-case scenario they may be scarred for a while because of it.  (y/n) had attempted this mission many times before all ending in failure. He always seemed to have an extra laying around. But no more today would be the day she would finally succeed. Kakashi was out drinking with Gai. And knowing both of them they will be out late. Giving her plenty of time to sneak in and get the "novels" and dispose of them. At least that was supposed to how it work out. But when (y/n) got home she found Kakashi sitting on the couch reading one of his "novels". "Uncle Kakashi I thought you were out drinking"


  "Well, Gai challenged me to a fight. And I used a thousand years of death I thought he would dodge it. But I hit him and it landed him in the hospital"

 "Damn", (y/n) cursed her plan would be ruined if he was home. Well at this point she couldn't go back. She quickly grabbed his "novel" before he could do anything. Tossing it out of the window before performing fire justu burning the "novel". And just as she did this Kakashi pulled out another from another hiding place. She grabbed the "novel" and kept doing it again and again. Yet he was able to keep pulling out "novels". (y/n) was getting frustrated. "Damn it how many copies of your "novels" do you even own", (y/n) asked getting more and more frustrated with every minute. 

  "I have enough copies that if I die I will have some in my coffin. Plus I preordered the newest book so that it will be delivered to my house. And I even have copies outside of the village ", Kakashi explained then smiled.

    "Don't you anything else better to do besides reading your "novels". I don't know like get a life", she said.

"I have a life it's right here with you and this book. And I know what you are applying with that. This book isn't like that it is just a novel about adult men and women doing adult things", Kakashi said then smiled.

  "Yes and that totally makes you reading your "novels" in front of minors justified", (y/n) exclaimed in a sarcastic voice. Before a smile came upon her face. She did the body flicker justu and came back with Neji. 

   "Why am I here", he asked not happy he had been grabbed randomly while he was eating. 

  "I need to borrow your byakugan for a bit. Can you find these books and tell me where they are", (y/n) asked before handing Neji a copy. "I suggest you don't read the contents for your own sake"

  "Fine", he said before using his byakugan searching around the apartment telling (y/n) where each copy was. (y/n) tossed each out the window before doing a fire justu to have them burn up. Every so often she used a water justu to put out the flames.  Kakashi had a panicked look on his face. He knew that if this kept up all of his books would be destroyed. He couldn't escape the Hyuga clan's byakugan. He decided the best thing to do at the time would be to run. He picked up another copy put it into his pocket and then ran with a fuming (y/n) running after him. Reminding him of Minato-sensei's wife Kushina and her anger. But right now that didn't matter all that did matter at the moment was that he got all of his "novels" out of (y/n) reach or she might just burn all of them. And stop hiding them in the house or else (y/n) would use Neji to find them all. (y/n) teated Neji in exchange for all his help. Neji grumbled but ate with no questions asked. Kakashi meanwhile was more careful with hiding his "novels" in the house and reading them in front of minors. Or at least reading them in front of (y/n).

What if Kakashi adopted an Uchiha of all people as his adopted daughter. A favor for his late friend. What will happen? What will happen to her as she gets older?

"What took you so long?" Callea complained as Deive get off the car. "I am bored here waiting for you."

Torque left with Marina and Luna for a joy ride. Her cousin wanted her friends to go someplace else. While she was left at Villa Celesta alone. She also wanted to leave the villa for a while and see new sights. It has been a long time since she left Nagcarlan. Her destination was always Villa Celesta and the mansion. It was starting to become a bore. But she wanted a place that has no people around. She just wanted the view and nature.

"Do you want to attend a cosplay event?"

"Cosplay?" She clasped her hands and she saw stars as she thinks about people wearing different costumes. It didn't matter who they were because they were in character. They were not obliged to show their real self. What's important is they could represent the character well and could show their creative side. "I love that."

"There's a cosplay event in SM Mall of Asia. It is still early. We can get there on time." It was eight-thirty in the morning.

"As in right now?" She didn't know what to do. She was excited. It was her first time to attend that kind of event. She wanted to ask her cousins to bring her to those kinds of events before but they were killjoy. They said that it was only for teenagers. She ran inside the mansion to change into a costume that Pipay, her friend designer, sent her recently. She stopped suddenly when she remembered Deive. "H-How about you? Will you wear a costume?"

He nods his head. "Yes. I will be Shadow Knight. Pipay gave me a costume for me as a gift. She said that she wants you to have a partner when you feel like being on the character. I might as well use it." Shadow Knight was a character in one of her graphic novels.

"Then I will be Calliope so we can be partners." She stood in her toes and kiss his cheek. "Thank you, Shadow Knight."

In less than five minutes, her costumes and makeup kit were packed. Good thing Marina prepared it near the treasure chest and her knee-high boots were waiting for her as well.  Calliope's costume was perfect. It had a veil that covered her face. Nobody would know what she looked like behind it.

 At the car, she already wore the veil. Her body was buzzing with excitement as I answered Deive's questions about his character Shadow Knight. She didn't notice how long their trip lasted.

He said that he owned a condo near SM Mall of Asia so they changed their clothes there. It took an hour to fix her hair and the makeup. Calliope was a Gothic Lolita character. She let her hair down. She was wearing a long back tulle dress with petticoat. She also had a black lacy fan that could dispel evil spirits. She decided not to put on makeup since she would be wearing a veil.

Her breath hitched when she saw Deive in his Shadow Knight costume. He looked like an aristocrat vampire. His elegant black cape collar coat was perfect for his lithe body. Even the black lacy baroque pants were so on point. She never thought Shadow Knight could be this sexy until Deive personified it. Unlike her, he ditched the mask and it showcased his beautiful face. He didn't even need his jeweled sword because his piercing eyes could easily melt souls.

She was so amazed when she entered SMX Convention Center. Cosplayers were milling around and they were wearing costumes from her graphic novels. Her heart was about to burst. To see her characters come to life and loved by many was heaven.

But she was there as a cosplayer and not as Xylara, the mysterious author.

She suddenly got cold feet when she saw the tarpaulin hanging above the escalator and the entrance to the convention center. Xylara's Book Signing.

She blinked several times. That was her pen name unless there was another Xylara she was not aware of.

She looked around the convention center's lobby once more. All of the cosplayers were wearing her character's costume. Some were even holding copies of her graphic novels. The event was for her. Exclusively for her.

She felt trapped. She would be forced to talk to all those people. Strangers. A lot of strangers had come to see her. They were taking each other's photos and for sure they would take her pictures, too. What if they insist to see her face? What if they tried to hurt her? No. She couldn't do this.

She started running out of breath then stepped back. What would she do with those people?

Deive blocked her with his body before she could retreat some more. "Stay, Callea."

An arranged marriage to a perfect bride.

To keep him in line, playboy Deive Hontiveros needs to marry Callea Lopez so he could start his own business. He thought he got lucky when he sees how beautiful and caring Callea is.

She lives in a haunted mansion though and he got plagued by a mysterious ghost of a woman and her cat from hell.

He must protect his bride at all cost. 

But what if Callea is one with the darkness?

Lara's Pov:

I woke up to my mom yelling on the phone. I swear if not for the fact that she was my mom, I would have bashed her head in 3 years ago. She's always yelling, I really hate that about her. I open my phone and read the time, [6:00]. It was the first day of my sophomore year in highschool. I unenthusiastically got off bed and headed for the bathroom. What was the point in going to school when I had no friends. It's not like people actually go to school to learn, they just huddle in groups. always talking and playing around. It always annoyed me. I hate school. I pick out my uniform before showering. A black and red striped sweater vest, a ocean blue skirt, a white collared under shirt, and a simple red bow. it's a pretty disgusting color scheme, It made my belly feel weird. What retard thought that ocean blue, red, and black went together. I hate my uniform. I head into the shower and automatically turn the water to warm. after spending an eternity in the shower I roughly get dressed and comb my short brown hair. I braid the sides and tie them around the back of my head. My mom showed me how to braid my hair like that once and it pretty much became a daily routine. after I was done I headed to the living room, where my mom was still yelling on the phone except now I could hear what she was saying. "What do you mean my book was too cliche!? Of course it's gonna be cliche it was written for children!" My mom, Myah, yelled to the man on the phone who I presumed to be her editor. My mom was an artist, she wrote some children's books, and did other graphic novels.  She was actually pretty good at writing, probably because young people understand young people. She did start off young and is still pretty young to be a mother today. My mom is 31. I'm 16. She gave birth to me when she was 15. I don't know the details or anything, probably some middle school relationship gone wrong. Anyways she stopped yelling when she noticed me heading in her direction. "Oh hey sweetie, sorry for all the yelling in the morning" Like sorry would cure my head ache. "Breakfast is on the table" She points in the direction of the dining room table where a plate of French toast and orange juice was waiting for me. I sat down and ate for a while enjoying the taste. I took my time since there was still a lot of time before school started. Once I finished, My mom gave me a good bye kiss on the cheek "have a good day at school honey!" she always licked her lips before kissing me, making the kiss extra wet. I don't know why she does that, it's just disgusting. I walk down the front door step and before I could raise my hand to wipe away the nasty kiss she yells "And don't you wipe that kiss!" I could hear her giggling in the distance. Why does she got to be so, ugh. I hate her.


first chapter end.

wow, she really needs to learn that hate is a strong word. O_o
