Y/n's estate
Westbrook
11:00pm
I was sitting on the couch in the large mansion. I never really left the house unless I was escorted by bodyguards. Wasn't my choice, moreso my mother's.
Scrolling through the channels was pretty boring, as most of them were about how Night City came to be. Move on from the past already. I hear the door open and in walks Yorinobu and Evelyn Parker. Never was a fan of her, just something about her made me think that she has a hidden agenda.
"I wasn't expecting you to be up so late," He states curiously. I shake my head at him and and narrow my eyes at how Evelyn is holding his hand. Fake love.
"Is your mother here or did she head back to the hotel?" I shrug.
"Maybe, while you were banging some chick, she mentioned she had to go out somewhere, not sure though," He frowns at my choice of words. I look behind him and Evelyn is confused. Makes sense as she doesn't seem to understand Japanese.
I don't know why my home has to be my uncle's getaway. He is usually at the hotel, but no.
"I was with Evelyn not some chick," This makes me chuckle, I do a mock bow directed at Evelyn.
"I apologise my lady,"
I take the remote and switch off the T.V and walk upstairs to my room. The sound of my uncle comforting Evelyn made me sick.
"Don't worry, Y/n isn't usually like this, she is playful. She is probably on edge," Idiot. Why would he say that? I'm not on edge.
I shut my bedroom door, locking it right after. My bedroom, extremely big I must say. I'm my opinion the richer you are in Night City, the more dull life seems.
Nothing interesting happens in Night City, except for your usual crimes, but I don't really watch news. I can't stand bad news.
I take a seat on the edge of the bed and release a dark breath. Turning to the window, in all it's glory, is the city. It makes sense as to why they call it Night City. It's beautiful..at night.
A presence sits on the bed and hands begin messaging my back. I groan at the feeling. It's soothing.
"You seem tense Y/n, you should relax," Yoshi states. My own personal "joytoy'. He is there to comfort me in any way possible. For a person who doesn't have any friends I must say Yoshi is the best friend I ever had.
I don't remember my father, but I was probably too young anyway. My mother and I are really close, but she is usually very busy. This makes no sense to me as she is pretty old. I guess being an Arasaka means to never give up.
Yoshi stops messaging me, knocking me out of my thoughts. He pushes me gently to lie down on the bed. I turn to him. He gives me his gorgeous smile.
I don't really like the word joytoy, it's demeaning, however Yoshi doesn't mind it. The first time he arrived he mentioned how he chose this life because he didn't have any money, he lived in Watson near the slums and being a joytoy saved him from starving to death. He is a joytoy and he won't deny it. I take a deep sigh. Not all people are as lucky as I am.
Yoshi. His vibrant green hair and dark black eyes with his chrome around his eyes, shone in the moonlight.
"You should sleep, don't you have a conference tomorrow," I shake my head.
"Yes," My voice is soft, but I don't close my eyes. I just don't feel at peace. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel as though something big is about to happen.
Yoshi gives me a gentle kiss on my forehead as I cuddle into him. I doze of to sleep with Yoshi's humming in the background.

Arasaka Tower
City Center
09:00am
"I'm actually happy that you're my driver, I don't know what I would do if those stoic bodyguards had to drive me," Yoshi chuckles at my words. I pull a face at the thought. The Rayfield Caliburn, a beautiful car and yet I can't drive it. My mother didn't find it a necessity. My daughter will never have to work a day in her life. Her words not mine.
The car stops and I look out the window. The Arasaka Tower. I don't get why I need to be here, no one has even seen my face. Yes that's right. The press knows that Hanako Arasaka has a daughter but they havent seen my face. It's like Isaid, I'm not 'allowed' to go out because of the possibility of being identified as one of the far future heirs to the Arasaka industries.
This makes me wonder why I need to be at the conference and not someone else. Although I remember them saying that I need to be part of the business or I wont have my family to protect me of I'm unaware of the business in Arasaka. Not like I care either way. Nothing interesting ever happens in Night City anyway. What do I need protection from?
"See you later Yoshi," He nods. I take in a deep breath and exit the car.
The seven bodyguards escort me into the building, luckily I'm wearing my large black sunglasses which helps me hide my face from the large crowd and their uncomfortable excitement.
"Is that the daughter of Hanako Arasaka?!"
"No way!?"
"She looks sexy as hell."
I release a sigh once we enter the large building. I walk to the elevator, passing staff members who bow respectfully as walk by them.

Arasaka Tower
Conference room
13:23pm
"That's why we do an experiment. Connecting the psyhce of a person to a biochip," Yorinobu presents.
I look around and the entire family is here. Being the youngest Arasaka has it's cons. I yawn grabbing the attention of my grandfather. He gives me a stern look, I just bow my head and pout.
I don't want to be here.
"Like a soulkiller biochip?" My mother asks. Yorinobu shakes his head.
"Not exactly...but yes," Yorinobu corrects. We've been here hours and this topic is still being talked about.
"I'm sure Y/n understands," My uncle places me in spot. Everyone turns to me. I hum in agreement.
"Y/n use your words," My mother gives me 'the look'. I groan internally.
"Yes, I understand, but won't you need someone to be willing to become the experiment? Because when I saw an ad about this 'soulkiller' biochip, it seemed unsafe," I mention. My family gives me a look of approval.
"Good observation, but seeing as this concept is on alpha phase, we will be using joytoys," Yorinobu clarifies. My eyes widen at his plan.
"Wait what?!" I exclaim.
"Y/n," My mother says with a warning tone.
"Yorinobu, use volunteers, it's best people know what they are signing up for," My grandfather suggests with his authoritative voice. My uncle seems that he wants to say something but decides against it.
The glass doors slide open and in walks Takemura with his all so serious demeanour.
"Mr Arasaka, you have a conference call from Tokyo, Japan," Takemura bows. My grandfather nods his head and a bodyguard wheels him out with his wheelchair.
"So...I can go home now?" I ask my mother hopefully. She looks away from her pad and turns to me.
"We will go downtown, I have some business to take care of," I look curiously at my mother.
"But you don't like it when anyone meddles in your affairs," she smirks.
"It's time you get acquainted with the real Night City, my child," she stands up as soon as a bodyguard enters the room. I follow her but my uncle stops me.
"Be careful out there Y/n, Night City is not a place to play around," This leaves me in confusion. I follow my mother and we are escorted to the roof where an AV waits.
My mother enters and takes a seat, gesturing to the one beside her.
"Come have a seat," I climb inside as the doors slide closed.
"Mother why did you decide to include me in your business this time," I ask her. She takes a glass of exquisite champagne probably.
"Today you will be taught the deep and darkest secrets of the Arasaka family," I frown at her, not completely understanding. My mother notices my confusion.
"Today I will teach you to become a netrunner."
A/n Cyberpunk 2077 is a pretty fun awesome game! ....mind the glitches.
I really wanted to write a fanfic about it because why not.. :)
