Akutsu Jin wasn't one to be in a serious relationship, or be nice for that matter— to anyone. However Echizen Ryoma wasn't just anyone, and she was an exception to many things.

He had never hit a girl before he met Ryoma. Now he down right pummelled them into bloody masses of pulp almost on a regular basis. Just for looking or saying something inappropriately at the tiny emerald haired girl.

He had never tried to get to school on time, and had never even thought about staying a full day of school. Before, school was a waste of time, but now he was the top of his class.

The words 'please', 'thank you', and 'sorry'; weren't in his vocabulary, and 'respect' was something that would never be accomplished.

Akutsu Jin was still the same as he's always was, he beat up random people for the fun of it, but he at least thought before he did things so it wouldn't hurt Ryoma in any way; which no girl had ever done, no matter how hard they tried.

Ryoma didn't set any rules for him, but he was expected to follow four that everyone else— whether they knew about them or not— had to follow as well. One, don't bother her, Two, don't touch Karupin without permission (or better yet just don't touch the devil in disguised), Three, Don't touch her rackets, and four, don't even think about even looking at her Ponta. That was all, and it went for every single living thing in the vast world. So, it was quite easy to get along with her.

He wasn't exactly sure when it happened, but he had started dating the petite tomboy without realizing it. Another thing happened when she praised him in one way or another for his 'good' behaviour.

Before he knew it, he was wrapped around her tiny little finger.
