"What can I give that money can't buy?" she questioned unsure of what she had that was so special. Lory and Ren looked at each other and smiled,
"It's simple Kyoko-chan all I ask is for your love. Now Mogami Kyoko, will you accept my offer?" she smiled one of her dazzling smiles full of true happiness,
"How could I refuse?"
The adoption papers were faxed straight over and there in front of Kyoko, Lory signed them. He had the biggest smile on his face as he did so. Ren felt almost a little jealous but when Kyoko squeezed his hand and drew his attention back to her, the fact she was still holding his hand swept the jealousy clean away.
"I'm sorry for making you leave the set Tsuruga-san, but I'm very glad you were here with me." she said with a sparkling smile as his heart sunk slightly.
We're back to a last name basis again.
he thought as he suddenly decided he wasn't going to accept that any more.
"Kyoko-san, you are no longer to call me by my last name. I give you permission to call me by my first name. Lory is like family to me and now you are part of that family so we will treat each other as so is that understood?" Kyoko blanched slightly as he gave her his most dazzling smile.
You cheeky bugger.
Lory thought as he stamped the last few pieces of paperwork for Maiko.
"But senpai, wouldn't that be rude of me, to act so formal and close to you." Lory chuckled inwardly at his new daughter as he listened to see how he would get himself out of this one.
"Of course not, Kyoko-san. I would be more than happy to be classed as one of your close friends, I would be honoured in fact." Lory was dying, the laughter inside him was at such a level he didn't think he could hold it in as he listened to the love struck fool basically tell her how he felt.
"OK then, Ren-san, I would very much like that also" that was it for Lory. He burst out laughing in full at how cute and naïve his new daughter was.
GOD, I doubt my life will ever be boring as long as those two are a part of it.
Kyoko, Ren and Maiko all looked at him as he calmed his laughter.
"What's so funny, President?" Kyoko asked looking at him with slight concern. She was worried he was having second thoughts as Lory instantly thought up an excuse for her.
"Oh I was just thinking how angry my good friend Kuu will be that I've stolen his daughter or son was it?" Kyoko looked shocked at his words and Ren saw what was coming and also saw the humour in it.
"Oh no! Do you think he will mind? Will he hate me for not talking to him first? Oh God, what if he hates me?" she looked completely distraught by what Lory had said and instantly both men fell about consoling her.
"Don't be silly, Kyoko-san. Kuu will completely understand and you can have more than one parent. What do you think is going to happen when you marry?" Ren asked her seriously but she looked at him completely shock.
"Who in their right mind would marry me, Ren-san?" she asked completely seriously.
Ren wanted to scream out that he would gladly marry her, but as the president had already said, today was not the time or place for that type of proposal.
"Now don't you dare think like that my Kyoko-chan. Who wouldn't want to marry you? I hope you know if I think they're no good or I dislike them, I will be chasing them off with my stick." she giggled at this thought of Lory chasing after the none existent men with a stick, but Ren felt the man's gaze upon him as he continued,
"Any man that wants my Kyoko-chan will have to gain my approval first." Ren shivered the length of his spine but looked back at the president with unwavering eyes that seemed to speak man to man,
I will do anything for her.
Ren's eyes seemed to say as Lory smiled ,his eyes radiating the words,
We will see.

Kyoko didn't move in that day to Lory's mansion, but he went with her to see her landlords and after many tears, hugs and kisses. They both told her that she was always welcome there. She was like family and so her brother and new family would be also.
She cried as she packed up her few things and carried them out to the waiting car. Lory handing over his address and all contact numbers to reach him, promised them access whenever they liked. It cheered Kyoko up as they chatted away like old friends. Little did she realise it was due to love of the same girl that they could be this way.

She went back to her hotel room after visiting Jelly in the trailer. Cain was already waiting for her. Sitting and smoking on the balcony, she would have the 2 more planned days of filming and then this Saturday, they would be meeting her new baby brother for the first time.
"Nii-san what are you doing out there? It's cold, come inside." she scolded falling into Setsu mode. He sighed but did as he was bidden.
"Setsu, I wish you wouldn't fuss so." he whined as he closed the balcony door and stood, watching her. As she tidied up his mess, she scowled at him.
"And who would look after you. my dear Baka Nii-san. if not I?" she queried as she stood up straighter.
"Or are you trying to tell m there is another who does a better job." she pouted, turning away from him. Cain felt bad for his words. Walking over he wrapped his arms around her and apologised,
"I'm sorry Setsu there is no other for me than you." he whispered in her ear. Still in his embrace, Setsu turned returning his hug.
"I'm tired Nii-san, let's go to bed." Cain was shocked when after changing into her sleepwear in the bathroom, Setsu walked over and got into bed with him. He never spoke as she looked at the pillow.
"I've had a hard day Nii-san just let me feel close to you for a bit and then I will go to my own bed." she begged like a little child who had, had a nightmare. He smiled at her kindly.
"Of course Setsu." he said as he wrapped his arms around her."
Little did he know that Kyoko, after being away from the situation, was feeling insecure about everything that had happened that day. She needed the reassurance that it wasn't all a dream. As he pulled her close, she sighed contented and quickly drifted into happy dreams as Ren watched her lovingly. He had guessed it had been Kyoko asking for the reassurance, not Setsu. He could even guess why, but it still surprised him immensely. At the same time it made him happy.
I'm finally free Ren.
She had said this. Does that mean she was also going to be free to love again? He really hoped it did, but still he wouldn't rush her. He loved her too much to rush.

Murasame was extremely pissed off the next day when the Heel siblings turned up as if the day before nothing had happened. They greeted the Director, or Setsu did, as they walked towards their dressing room he had finally had enough. Stepping in front of both of them, he sneered.
"Can't have been much of a family emergency if you can return to work the next day. Let me guess, you were just playing hookie?" He was trying to act tough, as Cain went to lunge at him. What shocked the cast, crew,director and even Cain was the fact Setsu got there first. Wrapping her tiny hand in his collar, she yanked him down to her eye level. Glaring at him with a little help from Mio, she paralysed him with fear as she almost shouted down his ear.
"Don't you ever speak to anyone of what you could never possibly understand you piece of shit." she screeched as she shook him like a naughty puppy.
"For your information, even though it's none of your business I was informed yesterday of my mother's death due to a car accident. So don't you ever talk to me or Nii-san like you could ever possibly understand." Ren could see Kyoko's anger boiling over as without warning, she kicked Murasame between the legs and stalked off to the dressing room, leaving the man withering on the floor. Director Konoe approached Cain slowly as Cain glared down upon the fallen man, hate in his eyes as he just glared at him.
"Heel-san is what Setsuka-chan just said true?" he asked quietly, but he knew everyone in the studio would hear the answer. You could've heard a pin drop as Cain turned to the director,
"It is true, yes" he spoke clearly and firmly, turning and kicking Murasame in the same movement, he headed for the dressing room Setsu had entered. Ren worried for Kyoko's state of mind at that moment for her to react like that. At this very trying time he would not NG her, she had enough on her plate to worry about.
Director Konoe scowled down at the curled Murasame and shook his head. No one seemed to pity the fallen man as they all just continued with their work. Serves him right. Lately it seemed to all of them he was the one that made all the trouble, not Heel-san.
"Are you OK, Setsu" asked Cain, closing the door behind him. Looking down at Setsu, with her back to him sitting on the sofa.
She didn't reply. He walked forward and wrapped his arms around her from behind, hugging her close.
"I'm sorry about that Ren-san, I lost control for a moment." she said in a whisper. She sounded heartbroken at her slip, but Ren just hugged her tighter.
"It's OK, Kyoko-san. If it was me, I doubt I would've even been able to act at all after what you went through yesterday." he whispered back. She just chuckled at him,
"Yes you would, Ren-san and you would do it perfectly." he very much doubted that, but he loved the fact she had so much confidence in him.
She turned to him slightly, with a wicked grin on her face.
"Is it bad that it made me feel better?" Ren just smiled at her, a full shining smile which made her heart sore.
"No Setsu, it's not a bad thing. It made me feel better just watching it." she smiled and they fell back into character.

Kyoko couldn't believe that two days had gone by so quickly. She and Ren were picked up by Sebastian, who drove them to her new home. Kyoko had been here before but never would she have ever imagined she would one day call it home. It still felt like a dream to her as they pulled through the iron gates and up the driveway.
"ONEE-SAMA!" the excited squeal came as she exited the rush of ruffles and golden hair grabbing her around her middle made her laugh with joy as she bent to hug Maria.
"You and me are really like sisters now, aren't we Onee-sama?" she cried happily as Kyoko couldn't help but leak tears from her eyes as she hugged the young girl she had always loved.
"Yes Maria-chan, we are like real sisters." she held Maria's hand, as together they entered through the front doors. The picture in front of her could not have been more perfect. Lory stood there with Kuu and the most beautiful woman on his arm. Kyoko suddenly realised she must be Julie. They had spoken on the phone but not yet met in person. Next to them were the Taisho and Okami-san smiling broadly. Chiori and Kanae stood next to Yashiro with Jelly woods finishing off their gathering. Alarge banner was spread above the stairs behind them, reading "Welcome Home Kyoko and Toru."
She couldn't help it, she burst into tears as they all gathered around smiling and consoling her. She hugged them all in turn with Julie refusing to let go the second time as she looked her over.
"What a beautiful daughter I have." she said, dragging her into another embrace as Ren, Kuu and Lory shared knowing looks.
The sound of another car pulling up outside made them all pull apart. As Lory took Kyoko's hand and led her to the doorway, 3 people stepped out of the car. One was Maiko, who smiled up at them both. She introduced the driver as her senior Karin as the 3rd lady pulled a car seat out of the back of the car. Kyoko caught her breath as the lady they had introduced as Hana carried the seat over to them.
In that single moment, Kyoko panicked,
Could she do this? Could she really love her half brother who her mother had loved when she was unable to love her?
Lory, sensing her confusion, squeezed her hand. It was his simple way of reminding her she was not alone. The instant the car seat was turned to her revealing the child, all of her doubts and all of her fears faded as she looked into the golden eyes of the child she instantly loved as her own.
