Author's Notes: ok so here it is! The battle between Julie/Kuu V.S. Saena! Took me a while to write but I think it was worth the outcome!
Warning: This chapter includes more cussing, for Saena doesn't care about any young people who may be reading, and Julie sometimes just can't control her anger…(Plus Saena deserves it)
Chapter 2: Model Mother and Fantastic Father V.S. The Money Grabbing Bitch
It was a windy afternoon, when a beautiful couple strode up to the Fuwa Ryokan, arms hooked, disguises that consisted of black wigs in place, a young boy striding right behind them, and an even younger girl, who was holding hands with the young boy, walking as fast as she could. Anyone who saw them would think them the perfect family. The only out of place thing was the fighting aura surrounding everyone except the little girl. An aura that said "I won't give up until you give me what I came for."
Saena made her way down the stairs and then entered the lobby. She wasn't all that surprised to see the man from the day before there. The thing that made her upset was the woman next to him. She had figured his wife would be beautiful, but looking at the woman she knew now that she didn't have a ice's chance in hell, unless the woman was as dumb as she was pretty. Saena smirked. There was no way a woman that beautiful could be all real, or nearly as smart as her. Whatever they wanted she could just trick the woman and seduce the man. As she approached them she saw them turn to her. Yet Saena didn't feel just two sets of eyes glaring at her, but three. She looked over a bit and saw a boy, probably ten, that had his parents black hair. What surprised Saena though was that her useless daughter was clinging to the boy. Once more Saena smirked. Her daughter still feared her. She still had power and she liked it that way. Manipulating people was one of her favorite hobbies.
Kuu recognized Saena right away and pushed Kuon towards the garden. Kuon understood his father and lead Kyoko outside with him. Julie stepped forward to introduce herself.
"Hello Mogami-san, please call me …Julie…We are here to discuss matters about your daughter." Julie had decided not to reveal them as the Hizuri family.
"Well Julie, thank you for coming to me formally, I don't see why you would want anything to do with her, but let's talk in my room." Saena replied.
Kuu could see pure waves of hate coming off both of the women in front of him, what scared him was that Julie was holding back. Both Kuu and Julie nodded to Saena and followed her up the stairs. They came to her room and entered with her, then sat down.
Kuu spoke up first. "We were wondering if you would be kind enough to let us adopt your daughter." Kuu stated out right.
Saena snorted. "Why would I give you my only daughter, and why the hell do you want her?"
Julie leaned forward as if getting ready to attack, but Kuu held her back.
"We really enjoy your daughter. She is loving, kind, smart, and I'm sure she has a special talent. We have not been blessed with a daughter and find that our son is very fond of her." explained Kuu.
"I have no idea how you find her all those things, but are you saying you want her to marry your son when older?" Saena asked.
She knew now she could not seduce the man, yet she was curious about the woman, who emitted such hate waves.
"Not necessarily. We do think they would make a nice couple, but that's not our primary reason. My wife and I, enjoy Kyoko's company very much, and believe that she would also be happy coming with us." said Kuu.
Saena twitched upon hearing her daughter's name. "Hmm, what makes you think that? What could she possibly gain from going with a couple of strangers who don't seem to know how to judge a good child?" Saena provoked the couple.
Kuu took a deep breath. Any more comments like that and his wife was going to start ...'talking'. "Mogami-san, we only want the best for your daughter. She deserves it. If she comes with us she would see other places, new things, and she would be with people who enjoy her company." Kuu stated.
He couldn't keep it up much longer either. He had hoped Saena wouldn't be so stubborn, but now she was pushing him to his limits also.
"Ha! Why should I care about what she can gain? She has never done anything for me, so tell me, why should I give a crap what happens to her?" Saena wasn't going to lie about her feelings towards her daughter, how would that help her?
That line did it. Julie stood up and looked down upon Saena. Her glare was colder than ice. "You know what, that girl has done more than anyone else could ever do for a bitch like you! She has loved you! She has tried her best, all for you! All you have ever done is criticize her and treated her like trash! It's time that little angel found a home with parents that don't wish she were dead!" Julie practically yelled.
Saena chuckled and stood up. "How would you know what she deserves? You're just a stupid, ignorant, trophy wife, who probably can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Judging by your looks you're a model, why should I trust my daughter with someone who is at least 50% plastic?" Saena said.
"She has done it now." Kuu said to himself. No one called Julie Hizuri a trophy wife or stupid.
Kuu would have punched the woman himself, but he knew it was his wife's battle.
Julie was fuming. She threw a punch at Saena, who wasn't expecting it and fell to the floor. Julie then took the liberty of sitting on Saena's stomach and stared down once more at the harsh woman. "You know what? I have never had plastic surgery in my life! I am 100% real bitch! You want to call me stupid again then fine, but I was top of my class in high school and collage! You don't deserve someone as kind and caring as Kyoko!"
Saena was shocked. No one had ever talked to her like that. She quickly scrambled to put her persona back up. Julie stood up and Kuu followed her to the door. They both turned to the first woman they had ever truly hated.
Saena was already standing and smirking. "You think you will get her now? Tough luck, unless you are going to offer me something in return." She said.
Kuu's aura turned darker. "We will not buy Kyoko as if she is an item. You can expect to hear from us. Whether we have proof or not, we do have connections and I'm sure there are people willing to take a coldhearted bitch like you down." Kuu stated.
The couple left Saena's room, upset with the outcome, but a fire burning even deeper inside.
As they were about to go down the stairs they heard a whisper. They turned and saw a hand signaling them to come into a room a door down from Saena's. Kuu went ahead and Julie followed behind. After approaching the door the saw a familiar face. It was a man, probably in his early 30s, wearing a nice black suit. He led them into the room that seemed to be the largest in the Ryokan. Upon entering they saw yet another familiar face and were very surprised to see him there of all places. A tall, tan, man with slick black hair, a mustache, and wearing a yukata was sitting down and sipping tea.
He looked up. "I heard the whole thing. Now old friend, why don't you tell me the story from the beginning. You were defiantly right to say you knew people willing to take the woman down. Plus I think that girl would make the perfect daughter for you and a perfect bride for your son." The man smiled.
Kuu smirked knowing they could win with this friend on their side. Kuu and Julie sat down across from him. "It's a long story…." Kuu said.
"Well I'm sure Kuon would like to play with that angel for a bit longer." Said the man. "Alright then, you are after all, the Boss." Kuu smiled and began with Kuon bringing Kyoko home.
These events happened while the Hizuri couple was talking with Saena…
Kuon led Kyoko outside, knowing that if that woman was as uncaring as he had heard; Kyoko would need to stay away. Suddenly Kyoko slipped her hand out of Kuon's and ran. Kuon looked up from his trance to see a little boy, with brown hair, being dragged over by Kyoko.
"Sho-chan this is Kuon." She smiled. Kuon felt a prick of jealousy but gave 'Sho-chan' his first gentlemanly smile. "Hello Fuwa." Kuon said remembering the name of the family who owned the Ryokan.
Sho crossed his arms. "Kuon eh? Well, Kuon I'm going to be the best singer in Japan, so I don't have time for you." He said holding his head high.
He then left, making Kyoko a bit sad. Seeing this upset Kuon and he ruffled Kyoko's hair. "Don't worry Kyoko, he is only being that way cause he is upset you're with me." He reassured her against his own will.
"It's ok Kuon, I just wanted him to meet you." Kyoko sighed.
Kuon smiled a bit glad that she had said she wanted Fuwa to meet him, and not the other way around.
"Kyoko!" they heard the Okami call. "I have some snacks for you and your friend."
Kuon followed Kyoko over to the porch area and saw the Okami holding a tray. "I made some tea and rice balls, so you won't spoil your dinner." She said.
Kyoko bowed. "Thank you, oba-san." She said.
Kuon did his best to bow. "Thank you, ma'am." He repeated.
The Okami smiled at Kuon's manners and then left to resume her duties. Kyoko and Kuon sat on the edge of the porch and ate their snacks, while Kuon listened to Kyoko talk about the Ryokan.
"They really are nice people." Kyoko mentioned.
Kuon leaned back and looked up at the sky. He was really enjoying his day so far, especially just a moment ago when he heard his mother yell. Yes, he loved his mother for being a very loving parent, but he thought it cool how she could bitch out someone like Saena. Of course whether or not Kyoko heard, she probably didn't since she was still telling him about the Ryokan. It wasn't that he was ignoring her, no, he could never do that, he just wished that he had more time to talk to her about America, just in case his parents didn't succeed. (Which he knew even IF they didn't they still wouldn't stop trying.)
"Oh and Kuon, I really hope I can come with you. Your home sounds really interesting!" Kyoko beamed.
Kuon leaned over and gave Kyoko a hug. "I hope you can come with us too. All of us would really enjoy you being part of the family."
Kyoko hugged Kuon back. "Thank you, Kuon!"
Lorry smiled at the story he had just heard from Kuu. Yes, he did feel bad Kyoko was treated so badly by her own mother, but he wanted to squeal with excitement, since he had just found a potential wife for his 'nephew'. He laughed evilly scaring Kuu and Julie a bit, making them actually feel the tiniest bit bad for Saena. Lorry spread a giant piece of paper across the table and started drawing out plans while Kuu and Julie grabbed their own pens and began to help.
Saena was biting her nails. For once in her life she felt intimidated, especially since the couple had emitted such hate waves. She was looking at adoption papers in her hand. She had been planning to make the Fuwas take her, but it looked like things had changed. Suddenly an idea came to her. She would make them think they were winning for now, and come back later with a huge winning streak. She chuckled. There was no way they would see it coming. Saena stood up, with the adoption papers in hand, and went to the front desk, down stairs.
"The next time you see that kids parents…" she pointed to Kuon. "…give them these." She said.
The receptionist nodded and took the adoption papers that had Saena's signature on them.
Saena smirked and made her way back to her room.
Kuon had gotten tired of waiting for his parents and led Kyoko upstairs, since he had seen his parents go that way. While looking for them, they came across the man in a suit, who Kuon recognized, and were led by him to a large room.
Kyoko was holding Kuon's hand, and as they entered the room she looked up at the man in the suit. "Thank you, Sebastian." She smiled.
The man smiled and nodded. Kuon looked a bit surprised, but then chuckled. When they entered the main part of the room they saw Kuu and Julie writing on a giant piece of paper, along with a very tall man.
Kuon sighed at the sight of Lorry, who was now wearing a duke's costume. Lorry looked up and smiled. "Ah, Kuon, Kyoko please join us."
