A Surreptitious Love Affair

 

 

 

 

The story of my life thus far has been nothing but Bitterness, Anger….Just a few of my many hidden feelings that I have to keep in the darkness of myself. I come from a rich and puissant family, which many of you would consider that I have everything that a person could wish for and lead a mellifluous and carefree life, but that's not how I actually live. Many people believe that someone of many riches, such as me and my family act nothing but stolid, acrid, selfish and indomitable, but this is one teenager that doesn't. As I already mentioned, I have to keep secret many emotions and actions that I can't outwardly speak or do. My family has high standards and responsibilities to live up to and I have to act the part of `rich, snobby, and vainglory daughter' whenever we are out in the presence of lower class families.

My family name, Higurashi, is one name that carries strong and harsh influence on the island in which we live, on the island of Shikoku, where life differs from the main island. My father, a well-known and irascible businessman owns the biggest shipyard and seafood companies on Shikoku and on the nearby island of Kyushu. His influence is quickly spreading onto the main island, Honshu and will soon expand his profit and business. My father already has land claims on Shikoku and Kyushu, so we might well own both.

Shikoku is a different place where life is not as simple as Honshu. Here, aberrant inhabitants, known as Demons, are nothing but low, filthy, and uncivilized to the humans that preside here. They are slaves, noisome and useless as they have been to us since we first put foot here. They serve the wealthy families and can't live as free and vividly as they used to. But, I really don't believe any of that for a minute. The Demons here are nothing but creatures that have been forced to abide and serve us against their will. And as fate would have it, I myself, have fallen in love with one such being. As my feelings, I have to hide my love, as any relationship or friendship with such a vile and wild creature is against any and all laws and rules that are in place. This is one such girl that doesn't give a damn about any laws that forbids such things. My passion and love for a certain demon, or a half demon, is one that will take me through the most difficult and stressful roads of life that has been presented to me. And this is where it starts…
