A FATE'S TALE:

Born into a family of crime bosses, Kaori and her brother Yamato always knew they were destined to take over control of the Seventh Moon after their father's death. Together they ran the organization for years, bringing it profit and success, and even planning an expansion into America.

The plan was simple: Kaori would remain in Japan to control the country, while Yamato would travel to America to establish an international base. Unfortunately for the siblings, some of their subordinates were not happy about Kaori's plan to take command in Japan.

The rebellion was swift and violent. Yamato sacrificed his life to protect Kaori, and Kaori was saved by a handful of loyal members.

Together with her subordinates, she managed to escape from Japan to the United States. When Kaori and her group arrived in the United States, they were greeted by the man was supposed to greet the Yamato. He was not familiar with Japanese names and did not know Kaori.

"Yamato." Kaori thought about correcting his mistake, but...

She decided that the best way to remember her brother was to take on the Yamato name and make his dream come true.
