    Having a younger sister, Ru always dragged her into trouble. He was quite a handful for his mother, he being her first child. His sister, although they loved her as if she was blood, was the daughter to his father. His mother got married to his current father when he was three, since his blood father did not support the family and had never even married his mother. He enjoyed his new family, constantly playing with his sister and finding her the cutest thing in the world, he even declared that he would wed her when they got older. Overprotective of her, he was constantly fighting other boys who picked on her.

    During his younger years, he spent all of his time in a small Chinese town. He was also popular with the girls in his class. His addiction to chocolate stemmed from the Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), where all of the girls in his class gave him chocolate. On those days, he usually came home sugar high and caused more of a ruckus than usual, dragging his poor sister down with him.

    Two years passed, now five years old, Ru thought his life was bliss unknown to him as it began to change. His father started coming home less and less. First, he began to miss dinner even though he usually was able to make it on time. Then he began to come home later in the night, so late that everyone was usually asleep. Then he just didn't bother coming home at all, and if he did; it would be early in the morning after everyone was already awake. This unnerved Ru's mother, who pleas went unanswered for weeks, maybe months. Even Ru's little sister began to worry, she just wanted to spend time with her father. A year passed, Ru's birthday, and it was the worst birthday he ever had. For the first time in a while, his father made it in time for dinner, even bearing presents for his children. They enjoyed their time together until late night. As everyone slept, Ru's sister's mother decided to make a visit, revealing that she had been sleeping with Ru's father devastating the family. A divorced was finalized.

    Heartbroken, Ru's mother separated the children, bringing him to the USA with her. Ru dreaded this moment, missing his sister dearly. But, living in the USA was a turning point in his life. Even though he struggled with English and found it hard to make friends because of how wild he was, he eventually did make some close friends with the 'outcasts' of the school. Students who also transferred to the school and had no friends. One girl in particular, Ally, a girl who had to transfer schools because of her parents getting a new job, soon became best friends with Ru. Often teasing him for his accent and struggles with English, he would often tease her back for her lack of music skills, being the worst singer he'd ever heard. Years passed, he and Ally became best friends even promoting to girlfriend and boyfriend. He even got her a promise ring. Starting then, he would only give Ally chocolates, even on Valentine's Day, although he would still accept chocolate from anyone else.

    He also faced household struggles. His single mother struggled to pay the bills. Because of this, Ru found himself helping out around the house; cooking, cleaning, and anything else he could do. It was during this time that he began to mellow out. Being more focused on the trials of relationships and home life, but he also found himself slacking in school as he had no interests.

    When his mother decided to begin dating again, Ru was ecstatic. Coming home with a nice, and rich, Japanese man, Ru approved. Multiple dates, Ru really got to know the man. Eventually this lead to a proposal. Ru's mother accepted. Unknown at the time that this would involve Ru moving out of the USA and to Japan. Angered, Ru ran away from home and into Ally's arms. Ally was the one that convinced him to move, remain with his mother. When they become adults, he could return to her, and if they retain their feelings than they could continue where they left off. He hesitantly agreed.

    Moving to Japan, his father and Ru constantly bickered. He bought Ru an expensive Japanese coach, Ru learned quickly when he wasn't trying to avoid the sessions. This continued to anger his father. Ru was barely home. His allowance was gone within a day, usually on loud music or games. Annoyed by his behavior, Ru's father decided to enroll Ru into Ikehara High. With Ru's mother tearing up, he broke and agreed to attend although he did not promise the best grades, or even attending class.
