AN: Again, I feel that I have to mention the liberties that I take when it comes to fanfiction and that some of this stuff is probably incorrect but I still hope you enjoy it. I hope that the next chapter has Ren in it in present day with him interacting with Kyoko but I doubt it. I haven't seen any raws or scans so far this morning.

Chapter Two – Family Trees

Ren shifted as he looked at Kyoko whilst she read over the questions to herself. He had trouble answering them for obvious reasons, but now he was worried about her feeling bad about him not being direct with her. He sighed, she had made sure that the Heel sibling identities were well guarded, maybe he just wasn't giving her enough credit.

He sighed as he leaned forwards and looked at her, "Mogami-san, are you sure that we have to fill in these questions? Can't we just copy and paste what is already written of me? I don't really like being -"

"Am I doing it wrong Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko asked as she looked at him and Ren softened in his expression. It wasn't her fault that he had such a long and intricate background. He sighed and shook his head.

"Not at all," he replied

"And if this is about my asking what your real name is then I'm sorry, I really was just -"

"I'm not mad," Ren said with a kind laugh as he looked down uneasily.

Kyoko nodded before going onto the next question, "Oh, is it okay if I ask this?" she said as she looked at Ren and Ren noted that she was shaking with excitement so it must be something that he never told her. He really wondered whether this room was designed to put pressure on him and force him to tell her things that he had been hiding from her. He tilted his head to the side.

"Well, Mogami-san, isn't it your job to ask me the questions on that paper?" he asked and Kyoko nodded, "So wouldn't the president make it easier on you if you just asked me those questions," he tried to smile and Kyoko looked at him before reading the paper.

"What are your parents' occupations?" she asked as Ren paled.

"I don't want that information listed," he said as Kyoko looked down disappointed. Ren felt a pain in his chest as he saw how her excitement level had gone from one-hundred to zero. He stared at the ground, "If I tell you will you promise to not include it?" he asked her and Kyoko smiled but leaned forwards.

"Tsuruga-san, if you're really not comfortable with telling me then I understand. I know that I'm just a junior actor and if your parents are from a low income," Ren laughed at that, "okay, maybe your parents are very high income but you don't want to rely on their wealth. Whatever it is, if you don't want to tell me then I apologize for my nosiness."

"No, it's….it's okay. My parents both do acting work," he told her as Kyoko's eyes lit up and she looked at him even more excited. Ren always found it adorable how when she was really excited about something, her eyes would go as big as saucer plates. He took another breath in. "My parents have been acting since before I was born, they met on set, but my mother is a famous model as well."

Kyoko looked at him as she leaned in closer, "Wow, your parents had those kinds of jobs. Wait," she tried hard not to shake too much with the joy she was learning from this, "When you helped me as Natsu, were you thinking about your mother. You called her the most beautiful woman in the world."

"You're right," Ren nodded, "I was thinking of her. I always loved going to her runway shows when I was younger but it's not cool for a middle schooler to be around models all the time, high school, you bet, but middle school not really."

"I've never heard of a model with the last name Tsuruga," Kyoko commented and Ren coughed at that, "Is she international?"

"No, she's…my family name isn't Tsuruga," he told her and Kyoko paused. She turned to him and blinked. What did he just say?

…..

…..

The fourteen-year-old sat at the grand piano in the living room as he wore the designer suit that his mother had found for a great price and in his size. His parents were always surrounded by friends and Kuon didn't understand why he had such a hard time connecting with people and making those bonds. He had Rick, but even Tina thought that he was weird. The people who attacked his acting skills and his heritage were forcing him to dislike human interaction. Most human were monsters underneath their skin.

Kuon's eyes lifted to his father as he raised his glass and looked at his mother. They would always do this. They would always have these grand parties to celebrate their anniversary. When he was younger, he would always get excited about their anniversary and ask questions about it and their wedding. His parents thought he was cute.

They hadn't even really noticed that he hadn't moved all night. They didn't notice that behind this eerily calm expression he was feeling tortured. Maybe if they had noticed, they had brushed it off thinking that it was his breakup with one of his girlfriends that caused him to be this way. Did they even care about him?

"So many years ago," Kuu said as Kuon took that moment to move to the doorway of the room. "I met this wonderful woman. She is a talented actress and her modelling can not be beaten. She is the most wonderful woman in the world and I see her as even more wonderful that she was able to put up with me all of these years." Kuon snuck out of the room, taking a quick glance to make sure that nobody noticed him. They would never notice him.

He took a few breaths before hearing it, "Out of all the wonderful things that my wife has given me, an acting partner who matches me in every scene, a successful model, a dazzling star, the best gift that she has given me is her love. A love that I will forever feel lucky enough to treasure."

"Great, Dad" Kuon said as he rolled his eyes. "Once again you forget that you even have a son."

…

…

Ren steadied himself as he drifted back from his memory and managed to catch the last few praises that Kyoko made towards his family's careers. He stood and walked to the window as she watched him. She looked down and fell into another bow.

"Tsuruga-san," she said quickly, "If there is anything wrong then I'm sorry. I know that I'm not worthy of helping you with all the troubles that you face but if there is anything at all that I can do or help you with, I'd really like to." Kyoko looked at the ground. She didn't want to admit to being Bo but she really wished that she was wearing that rooster costume right now, Ren had always been able to confide in Bo.

"It's hard, I haven't seen my mother for years and my father I've only seen briefly in the past five or six years," Ren said as he exhaled feeling the pain in his chest.

"Is that so?" Kyoko asked. She didn't want to talk about how she had never met her father and how she had only met with her mother briefly after she had disowned her on national television. She didn't want to say how she had never been lucky enough to grow up with a happy family in a happy home. This was all about Ren and she wanted Ren to feel better.

"Should we continue with the questions?" Ren asked with a gentleman's smile as he came to sit down opposite her again. "You'll get told off for not doing your assignment if you don't ask," he said and Kyoko bowed again before sitting.

"Okay, the next question is, do you have any siblings?" she asked and Ren stared at her with a blank expression.

"The president wrote these questions?" he asked and Kyoko paused as she looked at them.

"I think that he did. Why?" she asked and Ren looked down.

"Because he'd know more than I would whether I have any siblings or not. I don't think I do, I think that he would have told me if I did but I haven't seen my mother for a long time and although my father never said anything about it, I didn't talk to him for a very long time." Ren bowed his head with a sigh. "I don't think I do."

"I'm sure that somebody would have told you if you had a sibling," Kyoko said softly as she saw his depression. "I mean, if the president knew then -"

"Kuon, but don't write that down," Ren said as he looked at her and Kyoko tilted her head to the side with a confused smile.

"You have a younger or maybe an older brother named Kuon?" Kyoko asked and Ren looked at her, his eyes showing how much trust he had in her as he made a weak 'heh' and his eyes went down onto the floor. He was surprised in himself that that had come out but he had to explain it now.

"No, I don't think I have a brother," Ren said before he stared at her. "That's my real name, or my first name anyway but in this country only the president knows it."

Kyoko sat there in silence as she looked at him. She had to admit that that was a very powerful name that would draw a lot of attention. Whereas Shotaro had an old fashioned name, Kyoko had to admit that the name Kuon was even cooler sounding than Ren. It definitely fit him more than any of the names that she was imagining him to have.

"That's just like Kuu-sama's son's name," Kyoko told him, "That's so cool that the two of you share the same name. Am I allowed to call you that?" she asked before seeing his body tense and Kyoko's face turned bright red. "No. I won't call you that. That would be a really bad thing, I shouldn't feel so much pride to call you by your first name. I'm sorry, I'll keep calling you Tsuruga-san until the day that I die."

Ren laughed, "You don't need to go to that extreme but I'd like for only the two of you to know," he said as Kyoko paused, "You and the president."

Kyoko put a hand on her heart, "Don't worry, Tsuruga-san, your secret is safe with me," she promised.

….

….

Inside of Kyoko's mind, the grudges were hard at work with the pictures of Corn and Ren still being displayed to show the similarities between them. One of the grudges looked at the pictures and sighed, "How come Boss doesn't get it?" they asked, "With this new clue it's even more obvious that the two of them are the same person. Is Boss really convinced that because of fairy magic she didn't see what he truly looked like."

"And think about it, sometimes people don't hear things correctly," another grudge said as she pointed to the picture of Corn that had been seen in Guam. "His name isn't Corn, it's Kuon. The two of them are definitely the same person, how can Boss just accept them as different."

"I think she's still convinced that Corn used fairy magic. I mean, she's irrational to say the least," another grudge said as the first grudge looked at the pictures.

"We need to convince Boss that both of these people are Kuon Hizuri before she goes even deeper into denial. He pretty much confessed it to her." The first grudge said, "We need to get those cogs working in her brain."

"Yes, ma'am," the majority of the other grudges said as they set off to do their work.

End of Chapter Two

Thank you for reading

Thank you to those who reviewed Chapter One

Ashenvale: Well, he's starting to open up

Brennakai: I was thinking that too, especially with how he reacts when Kyoko gets the date wrong in the manga. I don't know whether he would have shared his birthday with her as Corn but he might have and she might have that in her subconscious.

Crazy4Animation: Well, Kuon's been trapped but Kyoko is still dense 😊

EmmaLasagna: Glad you like it 😊

Kotoko-98: I hope it continues to be interesting 😊

Megumitasama: Well let's see how well these two get to know one another
