'Yukiko Shinkai.' She's still not used to that name. It feels strange and foreign to her. Seventeen years growing up, being told that whoever she marries will need to take her family name to inherit the Amagi inn, and it all goes up in smoke because the inn needed a financial backer, badly... and had wanted something precious in return.

Her parents had, much to her shock, acquiesced. Yukiko still can't believe it. Part of her wishes she'd just run, but she could never betray her family, biological or otherwise, at the inn.

Which is why she's married now. To be blunt, it's not great. Her husband's not unattractive, true, but he's so much older than her.

And sometimes he's rough. She doesn't know how to deal with it. If she fights back too much, he just threatens her family and the inn.

More than ever, she feels like a caged bird. Only this time there's no Investigation Team coming to save her.

Their day-to-day was always a little bit different. He had work and she had school. Sometimes he would pick her up and other times she was free until he returned at night. Other days he was available the whole day, and sometimes made her skip school so they could play.

Yukiko was still terribly unhappy with the circumstances and always got him that much more excited. He always preferred when she resisted him.

That day he was home early and rather than pick Yukiko up from school he decided to wait at home and surprise her. Having an excess of wealth, their home was big and lavish and just outside the city proper.

When he heard Yukiko opening the front door, he went to meet her in the entryway with a wicked smile on his face.

"I've been waiting for you, honey," he would say in greeting, followed by, "Take your top off and come here."
