What is the relationship between the ruling class and warrior class in Japan and Europe? I know that in Japan the Samurais were the warrior and ruling class till the Edo period right? but what about Europe?

Europe was pretty much the same. The monarchs would be comparable to the Emperor and the knights,earls,princes, etc. would be comparable to the samurai.
In both societies there was a merchant class, and a serf class.

Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett, is an excellent historical novel to help you understand medieval society -- in this case based in England, but you get glimpses of France and Spain in the 1100s, too.

Did they ever get in trouble like were they were abused?
Thank you for the recommended book Writeacher.
As for the relationsip between them, my information say that spanish conqistadors met japanese samurais as they were traveling the seas looking for territories to colonize, and they engaged in battle not knowing who they were facing. Although this first skirmish was won by the conquistadors it seems that the japanese were able to repel the spanish or we would probably see Japan a catholic country like the Philippines today.

Further to find the answer to this question, I am sure looking at the popularity of building pyramids will give some clue as to why they rose at the same time and in a very similar fashion.

Although this and similar questions are of interest to me, I am compelled to testify of my faith in Christ Jesus, whose kingdom is not of this world. He will certainly save the souls of all that believe when jugdment day comes and we all must answer for our actions.

God bless you all in Jesu name.
