Animal (Double) Crossing Part Four
I can't believe it, Mr. Tsuruga has been home for two days and I've barely been able to talk to him, let alone ask him advice. Kyoko was slicing an apple for Coco, while Ren read over a few scripts. She handed the apple to Coco, but the monkey just threw it at Kyoko's forehead with such force, it immediately began to bruise.
Kyoko took a deep breath and then just let…everything…go. "I am sick and tired of having to pander to you! All you ever do is hurt me!"
Ren could hear the screaming and screeching and bolted out of his chair to diffuse the bomb.
"All I wanted was to talk to him! Just talk, I don't even care if I get any advice from him about the job offers anymore! I just want to spend time with Mr. Tsuruga! I am tired of being jealous of a monkey!"
As Ren got to the door to the kitchen he saw Coco smacking at Kyoko's face while Kyoko lay unconscious on the floor
The doctor patted Ren on the shoulder before she left to get the release forms for him to sign. "Kyoko, they have you on a little pain medication for your concussion, but they say you should wake up in about a half hour." Ren sighed. "Jeez, you've…you've given me the worst three hours of my life little girl." He takes her hand and strokes it with his thumb, that little contact comforting him. "If you wanted to talk, you could've just told me, but then…I guess we're both pretty stubborn, huh? An attribute we share that makes the president and my manager think we belong together. I'm not saying I disagree, nothing would make me happier than knowing you were happy with me, it's just, I don't think you need that right now. We're both still muddling through who we are as people, putting the question of who we are as a couple could end up being too much." He puts his other hand over the two of theirs. "When it does happen, I don't want it to fall apart because we weren't ready. But I do want it to happen." He pats her hand and stands up to get a cup of coffee from the machine in the hospital's lobby.
By the time he comes back she is awake and apologizing for her behavior. Before she can drop to the floor and perform a dogeza, Ren puts up his hands and sits her down on the bed while he resumes his seat in the vinyl upholstered hospital chair. "Calm down Ms. Mogami, now I understand you need some advice on a few job offers.
Lory Takarada had been thinking about going on a trip ever since Ren came back from Rio and when her doctor said Kyoko was fine he hopped on his private jet and headed to Rio himself.
He was wearing a bright pink and purple, frilly shirt with puffy sleeves and an ascot tucked in the collar, while tight sparkling black pants were perfectly paired with shining black knee-high heeled boots. He was unpacking his bag with a flourish while swiveling is hips and humming a Carnival tune.
With his back to the other suit case, he finished assembling his costume for the parade, and did not notice the zipper unzipping, and a furry ballerina slipping out.
That is the end of the story; I hope it satisfied the requirements for the challenge,
but more importantly I hope all of you enjoyed it. ^_^
I would like to thank my family before helping me and offering advice, including my little sister who, when asked what the characters should do, said "Turn off the computer and play pokemon with me, like you said you would." The girl is seven(:
I am also sending well wishes to J Luc Pitard and the challenger, Neheigh Fluffydoodle. Thank you both.
I shake you warmly by the hand, all of you, and may you be merry, however Boxing Day may find you,
