AN: I really hope you enjoy. It's hard for me to not include too much fantasy-realism in a story so it's nice to make this more crime related. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter Four – Where the Mind Goes

Kyoko turned to her fiancé and his parents as they looked forward to the man who was standing opposite them. "This is my mother's colleague, Todoh-san," Kyoko tried to tell them and Kuon raised an eyebrow.

"The person that you contacted when you went to see her?" he asked and Kyoko nodded. "Wasn't that years ago when you were seventeen?" he wanted to verify and Kyoko nodded again.

"It might be nothing, Kuon, but my mother's a lawyer. I'm surprised that she sent Todoh-san down to see us but -"

"But she didn't," Todoh said as he stepped forwards and looked at the family. "Although I was never a victim of an attempted assassination on live network television, I did have a run in with a young gang the other day so I feel that with my family background in police work, I can tell you who the culprit is."

Kyoko smiled widely and she looked around, even though she had stepped to stand beside Kuu, Kuu was still making it so that Kuon was blocked from the front and Julie wasn't letting herself get distracted in the other directions. If somebody really wanted to kill Kuon, it was not going to be easy for them to do it.

"Maybe not in such a private place," Kuon whispered as he saw Kuu put an arm up to barricade him from stepping forward. "Dad, what are you?" he heard Julie gasp with tears in her eyes as she looked at him and saw Kuu give a weak smile as well despite the situation.

"Alright, so we won't do this in a public place," Kuu said before taking the suitcases again. "We're heading to the car, you can join us if you want to talk," he said before seeing Kuon standing there and just putting his arm around Kyoko. He needed more protection than this. He needed to not be outside.

As they entered a place where they were the only people, Kuu looked at Todoh who seemed to be attempting to blend into the background. "So, what is it? You think you have evidence of who is targeting my son and yourself?"

"Yes," Todoh nodded, "I won't give you the name since the one I have is most likely a false name. Very popular acting name if I remember clearly."

"And that is?" Kyoko asked with a smile, it would be easy to track down an actor with their connections. Lory would take the information and be able to have the man in front of the police station within a small number of hours.

"Hozu Shuuhei," Todoh said and Kuon looked over at Kuu who was extremely irritated at the use of that name. He started glaring at the air before him and Kuon could understand. If someone he cared about was being targeted by a second Ren Tsuruga, he would be pissed as well. "Now, I don't think that it is the actual -'

"What gave it away?" Kuu asked in a deep voice, his eyes showing anger flashing through them which was rare to see. "It's either a different Shuuhei Hozu or -"

"Dad, nobody is saying that you're involved in this," Kuon tried to stand up for his father as Julie rolled her eyes and studied Kuu to see if he could stay calm that the person who was targeting Kuon was using his name.

"Now, I think that the actual person we're looking for is the man Kyoko-san calls her father," Todoh continued and Kuon felt his own anger at this.

"Can I ask you why you – why everyone is questioning my father on this? Sure, our relationship might seem strained on the outside but my father would never send anyone to hurt anyone else and he most definitely wouldn't hurt me. If you honestly think that Kuu Hizuri is capable of having a cold and cruel bone in his body then you have no right to talk to him. I don't care who you are or who you think you are," he growled out as the old Kuon seemed to come out, "you do not get to disrespect Kuu Hizuri especially in front of me."

"Honey, it's -" Julie said as Kuu wasn't sure what type of reaction to have to how his son stood up for him.

"Do you know about my father?" Kyoko asked quietly as she tried to think about what this information meant. She froze as she heard someone in the shadows. She looked around before noticing that there were three people in heavy gang gear, the type of people Erika's attendants had pretended to be, standing there.

"Kyoko, I need you to take my parents and Todoh-san and get them away from here," Kuon whispered before he stepped out in front of the group.

"Julie," Kyoko said before she grabbed the woman's hand, "I apologize," she said before pulling her into the shadows and looked back to see Kuon push Todoh-san away. Kuon then looked to Kuu who seemed pissed.

"Run," Kuon said as he looked back at his father with a fire in his eyes. He saw his dad continue to stand there and get into a fighting position. "Dad, it's not you they are after," he said before Kuu shook his head.

"Do you really think that I don't know anything about this?" Kuu asked as he zipped his jacket up and stood by his son's side ready to take on the opposing men. "Do you even remember who practiced with you when you were a kid?" he asked with a cocky grin that Kyoko had seen too many times on Kuon's face.

She stood back.

Kuon looked at the three men and as one of the men stepped to the side, Kuon turned his attention there. As the man rushed to him it was as if the world had sped up and slowed down at the exact same time. Despite the man holding a knife, his movements weren't that quick and every time he attempted to flip or show off some form or technique, Kuon could detect the weak part of his body. He could tell which places he could hit so that the man would die or that would just knock him unconscious.

He had to go for unconscious.

As he surveyed his opponent, Kuon managed to locate a pressure point on his upper shoulder. With a quick jab, he struck and pushed the man back as he attempted to keep consciousness. That meant that his fight could be with the other two. His eyes widened as he saw how skillfully Kuu had managed to knock the third man out and now there was only one left.

Somehow they had left the most dangerous for last but they were together. If they worked as a team they would be able to silence this third man.

Grabbing his chest, Kuon managed to hold him in position for his father to knock him back and leave him on the ground. Kuon waited for the moment until. He felt something press deep into his arm and he fell down, the world seeming to spin around him in a way that he hadn't felt before. He pressed a hand to his arm and found a syringe there.

He looked up at his father who had rushed to his side and smiled weakly, slipping the needle into his own pocket. "I didn't know you could fight like that," he said before experiencing a painful headache. He looked down feeling woozy but tried his hardest to hide it.

"Julie! We need a medic now! Call an ambulance!" Kuu yelled at his face grew incredibly pale in terror for his son.

"I'm fine," Kuon tried to argue and Kuu looked at him.

"Deep breaths, okay. You need to keep awake, you need to breathe, because whatever you are Kuon, you're not fine," Kuu said as he looked at the man before him. He didn't know how to describe it but his son's eyes were dilated, he was sweating, his body was shaking, and he looked deathly pale. Hopefully it wasn't a poison.

"Corn?" Kyoko asked as she tried to pull him up and found his body extremely limp. She seemed to have the strength to drag him but she knew that trying that would hurt him. "Father?" she asked as Kuu nodded and picked up the limp body of his son.

"Kuon, stay awake, okay?" she told him before seeing Todoh removing the wallets of the men as well as their weapons and taking photographs of the documents with his phone. Kyoko wanted to ask him more questions about her father but her fiancé came first.

"I'll contact you," Todoh told her as he phoned the police and Kyoko quickly went over to where Kuon was.

He didn't look good at all.

Ren took a step inside of the LME agency building. With everything that was happening around him, getting back to acting would really help him. He could go into the agency and find Yashiro to ask him what was going on and what project they were working on next. For some reason, he couldn't remember his work schedule…which was strange.

"Sir, I'm afraid that only professionals are allowed to use this entrance," a young girl told him. She looked at him as if she didn't know who he was. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Kuon attempted to speak but it was as if he couldn't.

"Oh god, someone call the police!" another man yelled as Ren looked down at his hands, there was something growing there like slime. He put a finger to it and then pulled back as he realized that the red liquid was blood. As he came in further to the agency he could hear the sound of a car hitting someone's body and a woman screaming and his heart hurt.

"You've killed him!" he could hear Tina yelling at him, "You've killed him, you murderer! You're just an animal! Killer!" Ren took another step forwards and then found there to be blood all over the ground and he saw Yashiro's corpse. The blood seemed to cover up more of his skin.

He looked forwards and was happy to see his mother and father talking with Lory.

"Dad," he finally called out but all three of the people he was looking at stared at him with a deep disgust and hatred.

"What did he call you?" Lory laughed coldly, "I didn't think we allowed vermin in here."

"Well I certainly don't take claim of him," Julie shrugged as she attempted to ignore him. Kuu looked at him and seemed to sneer at him.

"Well, he's not a son of mine."

Finally Kuon looked up and Kyoko stood opposite him, however she looked to be in a wedding dress. Were they getting married that day? What about the murder? Weren't they going to deal with the murder? "Kyoko,"

Kyoko looked at him as her hate seemed to radiate off of her and her hair changed and a scar formed on her face until she looked just like Mio. "As if I could ever love you," she told him before he saw Fuwa approach her and she leaned up before making out with him and…

…..

…..

"Stop it!" Kuon yelled and his eyes opened to a bright light in the room. This didn't look like the airport. He felt that his arms and legs were getting held down and his head was being held as if people were trying to save him from hurting himself from a seizure.

"Kuon?" Kyoko said as she placed one hand on each side of his face, she had tears in her eyes and looked completely exhausted. "Kuon, are you okay?"

Kuon looked at her, this was the hospital. Why was he in the hospital? Why was his father on one side of him and the president on the other and they both looked exhausted. Where was he?

"I think it should be safe to let go," Lory said as Kuon realized that the hospital had strapped him down but that when he had broken through the straps, his dad and second father figure had done whatever they could to stop him from harming himself.

"Are you sure? Kuon, are you okay?" Kuu asked as the desperation could be seen on his face.

"I'll grab the nurse!" he heard his mother say as Kuon looked around dazed, he stared at his clothes and his body which looked as if they had been torn apart by some wild animal. Had he done this? He could see that some of Lory's clothes were ripped and his father seemed to have a few bruises on his body.

"I am going to charge you the repairs for this," Lory said as he showed his old friend the tears in his costume of a 1920s crime lord.

"How long have I been -" Kuon asked as he looked at them and nobody looked at him. He felt Kyoko grab his hand and watch him nervously.

"I think it's been eighteen hours, you must have been having some really bad dreams," she said to him as she saw the fear in his eyes. "I'm glad that you're alright, Kuon. I can't really be much use to you when the fighting's in your head. I hope that I was -"

"You were in my dream, princess," he told her as Kyoko looked at him hopefully. "I don't think you want to know what you were -"

"It's okay, tell me. If it's one of your fears, Corn, I'll do whatever I can to try to keep it from you. Please tell me?" she asked him knowing that he would usually try to find some way to hide the truth from her but she wasn't in the mood for some lying Tsuruga Ren smile right now.

"You hated me," Kuon said as Kyoko shook her head, "and you were going to marry Fuwa."

Kyoko frowned before standing up, "Now I'm really going to kill that asshole," she said as Kuon looked up at her. He weakly smiled, maybe that part of the dream really was more of a crime to her than the other parts that his mind couldn't let go of.

End of Chapter Four

Thank you for reading

So, I'd like to know if there's any interest to see what happened whilst Kuon was drugged. I'm on the fence about writing about him attacking Lory and Kuu and having seizures or leaving that up to the imagination.

Thank you reviewers Chapter Three
