History FanFic / Seduction

* SmellsSexy: Tora smells like really nice, really expensive cologne that Sarakshi simply can't stop herself from drooling over . On the other hand, Sarakshi herself smells like lavender and chocolate.

* WomanScorned:[[spoiler:Kurumi is pissed that Sarakshi and Marjani are so close but more than that is the fact Marjani would prefer a commoner like Sarakshi rather than an ojou like her, even though she admits that neither her nor Marjani actually want the engagement in the first place.]]

* PluckyGirl: The sole reason the fanfiction ''exists'', is because of Sarakshi's "pluckiness."

* SmellsSexy: Tora smells like really nice, really expensive cologne that Sarakshi simply can't stop herself from drooling over sometimes. On the other hand, Sarakshi herself smells like lavender and chocolate.

* XanatosGambit: Tora loves these. [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma So does Kaon.]]]]

* ShoutOut: Sarakshi's last name is a shoutout to {{Bleach}}. Marjani Suoh's? You guessed it, OuranHighSchoolHostClub.

** [[spoiler:MoralMyopia: The fact that at any given time, he's surrounded by anyone who's female, attractive and willing? Normal. An attractive man levels a genuine smile at Sarakshi? Grounds for Tora to have the poor sod destroyed financially, [[DisproportionateRetribution you understand.]]]]

* [[spoiler:GreenEyedMonster: Tora to anyone monopolizing Sarakshi's time other than him. [[EveryoneCanSeeIt No matter what he says]].]]

* [[spoiler:LadyKillerInLove: Tora as much as he tries to deny it.]]

* LastNameBasis: Sarakshi and Tora to each other. Marjani to Sarakshi in the beginning, even though she always calls him Marjani.

** [[spoiler:MoralMyopia: The fact that at any given time, he's surrounded by anyone who's female, attractive and willing? Normal. An attractive man levels a genuine smile at Sarakshi? Gounds for him to have him destroyed financially, [[DisproportionateRetribution you understand.]]]]

* {{Foil}}: Tora Igarashi and Sarakshi Ishin: He's a CardCarryingVillain occasionally doubling as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, she's a NiceGirl with [[{{Tsundere}} a decidedly snarky streak]]; he's a {{Stoic}} [[BlondGuysAreEvil blond]], she's an exemplary FieryRedhead; Tora [[{{Understatement}} does NOT]] get along with his father (though he and his mother get along well enough); Sarakshi wasn't just DaddysGirl but Momma's Girl too. Despite [[RichBitch living in the lap of luxury for all his life]], [[TheCynic Tora]] seems incredibly [[RichBoredom bored with his life]]; despite [[DeadParentsAreTheBest both of her parents being dead]] and [[StarvingStudent working two jobs just to make ends meet]], [[ThePollyanna Sarakshi]] is pretty happy with her life.

* [[spoiler:BadassDamsel: When Kurumi kidnaps Sarakshi in later chapters, she does not make the experience easy for her. When she escapes, Sarakshi gives her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech while in the midst of a minor HeroicBSOD.]]

* WhenHeSmiles: Marjani.

* AllLoveIsUnrequited, LoveDodecahedron: Marjani loves Sarakshi. Linda wants/loves Marjani. Sarakshi has strong platonic love for Marjani that could easily become something else if she let it and isn't sure what she feels for Tora. Tora probably loves Sarakshi but would make out with nearly anything female and attractive. Yuki loves Tora but doesn't stand much of a chance with him. Fenshani likes Sarakshi.

** Marjani and Tora become this for Sarakshi, with Fenshani as [[ThirdOptionLoveInterest Cheryl.]]

** [[spoiler:MoralMyopia: The fact that at any given time, he's surrounded by anyone who's female, attractive and willing? Normal. An attractive man levels a genuine smile at Sarakshi? Gounds for him to have him destroyed financially, [[DisproportionateRetribution you understand.]]]
* HeroicBSOD:[[spoiler:Sarakshi has a minor one after escaping Kurumi's clutches in chapter 16. She does not take well to [[DamselInDistress feeling helpless.]] To her (and his) surprise, Tora pulls her out of it, because he ''also'' doesn't take well to her feeling helpless.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: Yes. One ''can'' make a case for Tora.
