When Ren saw Kyoko drenched her own blood and her lifeless eyes staring at the nothingness, his heart clenched at the scene that lay before him. As tears began to form in his chocolate brown eyes he let out a distressed, raspy scream,
"KYOKO!"
No response.
Wasting no time to get to her, he ripped a large piece of his shirt off and wrapped her bleeding wrists as fast as he could. Taking out his phone and called 911, when the ambulance was on its way, Ren's persona shattered and Kuon was awakening, looking down at her.
For the first time in many years, tears started to fall down his smooth cheeks; screaming at his love Ren said , "Kyoko! Please don't die on me! Don't you dare die! YOU HEAR ME! Please! "
At that moment the ambulance had arrived; the paramedics ran over and carefully lifted Kyoko onto the stretcher. After strapping her in they loaded her into the ambulance. When they were about to close the doors, Ren jumped in to be with his beloved. On the way to the hospital, tears kept slipping down his cheeks as he held her cold, lifeless hand. He had never felt so broken in his life. When he lifted his head to gaze at his beloved's face, the paramedics realized who was in the ambulance in with them. Not caring to look at the faces that were gazing at him, he kept his eyes on the one that mattered most in his life. When they arrived at the hospital, they rolled Kyoko straight into the operating room leaving Kuon outside the room. He tried to follow but they wouldn't let him. Begrudgingly he went into the waiting room to wait for her to come out. Thinking it would be a good idea to call Lory, he dialed his number,
Lory picked up instantly. "Hello, Ren did you find her?"
Ren, not even able to fake his ''Ren'' persona, softly said, "Yeah, I *sniff* did. "
Lory said anxiously, "What's the matter Ren?!"
Ren said haltingly, "Lory *sniff* ahh Kyoko is in the hospital."
Lory nearly screeched in disbelief, "WHAT! WHAT HAPPENED?!"
Ren whispered, "She tried to commit suicide, but I found her just in time."
Lory said hurriedly, "I'm on my way, Kuon . Hold on."
Hanging up the phone, Kuon started to nervously pace around the room. When Lory arrived, he found the most broken man in front of him. Just as he was about to comfort Kuon, the nurse came saying that she was stable and was going to make it. Hearing that she was going to be okay took some weight off his shoulders, Kuon bolted up from his seat, then asked what room she was in. After frantically running to her room, then seeing her with tubes and machines attached to her everywhere made his heart clench painfully; as he started at the small, broken form underneath the white rushing over to her side, he took her small, fragile hand in his large, smooth hand and breathed a sigh of relief. She was going to be okay. Then the doctor came in saying,
" Mogami Kyoko is a very lucky one."
Ren looked up at the doctor with sorrowful expression saying,
"How is she doing?"
The doctor looked down at his medical papers and said,
"Well, first of all she's extremely malnourished. She probably hasn't eaten for days; maybe a week. So we put a tube in her side and connected it to her stomach so we can start feeding her broth and liquids.."
Nodding slowly as he went over this new Information he waited until the doctor continued,
"Also I don't know if you were aware or not. Mogami Kyoko has been cutting herself very harshly. In this day in age it's really common to find young girls punishing themselves. Do you know why? "
Looking the doctor in the eye Ren said directly,
"No, sir I do not. I knew something has been bothering her for a while. But every time I asked, she wouldn't let her guard down. I could never figure it out. "
Staring at Ren questionably the doctor said,
"There's another thing.. And I want you to speak truthfully. Do you who she got those injuries from? The bruises that cover her body?"
Staring back at the doctor with eyes that burned like hell's fire, Kuon said,
"No, sir. I do not. If I did know who did it, I would hunt them down and make them suffer like she did. "
Seeing the burning fury in his eyes for the girl, he knew that the man before him was innocent. "
As the doctor was about to walk out he was stopped by an arm keeping him from leaving.
"Doctor."
"Yes?"
"What's your name? So I can call you if we need you when she wakes up."
"You can call me Dr. Sato."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It had been three days and Ren hadn't left the poor girl's side. He had helped the nurses as much as they would let him. Ren was worse than a mother hen with her chickens, he was driving the nurses crazy. He would always be breathing down their necks, staring at every movement they made.
After five days, the nurses said that they would decrease the sedative's dosage for her to awaken. So Ren quickly phoned his father and the president that Kyoko was going to be awake in a hour or two.
When an hour passed, Ren, Kuu, and Lory were all in the room together waiting for her to awaken.
Minutes later she started to awaken,
"Nnnnmmmm"
As she slowly opened her eyes, she realized that she was alive. When her sight became clear, she was met with three pissed off faces staring at her. She broke down as she clenched her fists and tears running down her face she sobbed,
"WHY? Why?! Why didn't you let me die! I didn't deserve to be saved! I'm lower than the dirt you walk on! "
Taken back by her outburst the three look at each over with painful expressions then back at Kyoko trembling with anguish. Gracefully walking over to the quivering girl, Ren laid a hand on her hand. Not wanting to be touched, she moved her hand to her chest before he could lay a hand on her.
Seeing her shying away from his touch, made his heart clench with agony. Dejectedly he stepped away from her giving her her space, knowing he should take this slowly.
After Ren had tried to make contact, Kuu felt like it was his turn to try to talk to her.
" Kyoko ,son, how could you do this? What possessed you to do something like.. like . Kill yourself."
Staring at Kuu she then screamed,
" IM A BURDEN TO EVERYONE! THERE IS NO PURPOSE FOR ME TO BE HERE! I'M WORTHLESS IN THIS WORLD! THERE'S NO HAPPINESS IN THIS LIFE FOR ME,THERE HAS NEVER BEEN.."
About to lose his temper, Kuu said
" Son! Don't say that! You are not a burden! You do have worth in this world!"
Unleashing her demons she screamed,
" I'M NOT YOUR DAUGHTER! QUIT TRYING TO ACT LIKE YOU CARE! I KNOW WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO AND DON'T THINK I WILL FALL FOR THAT AGAIN. I HATE YOU, I HATE ALL OF YOU! WHY CAN'T JUST LEAVE AND LET ME DIE! "
Having enough of her outbursts, Ren's anger spiked saying,
" Enough!"
Briskly walking over to Kyoko, then taking hold of her thin arm and turning her to face him he said sternly,
"Kyoko we're going to have a long talk. Lory, Kuu please excuse us."
" NO! Let go of me!"
As she weakly fought him, he tightened his grip on her arm slightly. When she finally stopped trying fighting, Ren looked up at Kuu and Lory.
Seeing Kuon's fury written all over his face, they complied without saying a word and exited the room quietly. When they were gone Kuon commanded,
"Kyoko sit up now!"
" I'm tired... And I don't want to."
" That's your fault for fighting me and wearing yourself out. Sit up now."
No movement... No response..
"Kyoookooo. Now!"
Glancing over at him, she shook her head. When impatience got the best of him, he lifted her, careful of the tubes and wires though, earning a squeak from her. Holding her weak form in the air, he slipped underneath her and set her in his lap carefully. Once she was in his lap, he covered them with the blanket just below his feet. Still not meeting him eye to eye, Kyoko turned her head further away from him. Seeing this, Ren slipped his hand around her pale, bony chin and forced her to comply to his wish for her to look at him. Finally looking eye to eye with each other, Ren's gentle face turned serious.
"Kyoko, I'm going to tell you something and you're going to listen even if I have to hold you down. You're going to listen. "
Hearing this, she knew in this state she wouldn't be able to slip away from him. She was trapped in his lap, unable to escape. Kyoko didn't like this one bit. All she wanted to do is crawl in a hole and die.
"Now first of all I never want to hear that you are lower than the dirt we walk on. "
"But it's true! I'm mmmffffthffff "
Silencing her by putting his hand over her mouth he says strictly,
"I want to tell you that you are not lower than dirt. You are more than that. I never want you to think otherwise."
Hearing this she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"No! I'm nuisance to the human existence! I'm not supposed to be here! I'm supposed to be dead!"
"Kyoko! Enough."
"I have no worth here because I'm a mistake! I was never have supposed to have lived! I *mmmffff* "
Silencing her once again by covering her mouth with his hand, he said
"Kyoko! Please stop! Who has brainwashed you? "
"I'm not brainwashed! It's the truth! "
"No it's not! You're here for a reason! Just like me. Everyone else in the world. "
"It would be nice if that were true. But when you're a mistake you have no reason; you just roam the earth with pain and suffering. No one cares about me!"
Feeling an ache in his heart Ren shouts,
"I DO! I'm here in this bed with you. I care!"
"Ha! You care for the moment, but when the time is right you will dispose of me when you're done."
Getting frustrated with her Ren lifted her chin up to look her into the eyes and with such passion he sternly said,
"No! Kyoko. I would never do that! "
"They all said the same thing and made the same mistakes."
Holding her little, fragile form tighter he said,
"How can you say that I don't care about you when I'm right here holding you; If I didn't care, I would be somewhere else. Please Kyoko, don't push me away."
"Please just stop! This is too much! No one will ever love me Sho said that I..."
Kyoko gasped that she had let it slip.
Hearing that bastard's name, Kuon's blood boiled with hatred,
"Fuwa made you like this? This is HIS doing?!"
Looking up shyly, she then turned away...
"Well, ummm..."
Quickly taking ahold of her chin, he forced her to look at him demanding answer.
"Answer me! Did HE do this! "
As watery tears streamed down her pale, starved face, she couldn't answer.
But when she saw the beastly fury in his eyes, she couldn't hold it in any longer what she had bottling up inside. Finally after eight months of cruel torture, Mogami Kyoko let go.
Ren was looking expectantly at her for an answer. All of the sudden he saw the poor girl shatter in front of him when she shyly spoke one word,
" Yes."
Clutching his shirt like it was her lifeline, she sobbed miserably. As she sobbed saying,
"He told me I was worthless! *sob* He told me that I would never be beautiful enough for anyone! *sob* In Kyoto, he made me scream that I was lower than dirt. *sob* He said that it would be a miracle if someone ever loved me! *sob*"
Ren stroked her back gently while he pulled her closer to his muscular frame as she sobbed in his arms.
No matter how much he wanted to correct everything she said about herself and say it wasn't true, he knew that she needed to vent. He just needed to give her support and let her explain.
"He said that my mother never wanted me *sob* He said that no one will ever care or miss m-me if I leave *sniff* He said that I was a burden to everyone around me *gasp* * sob* He said I was fatter than a whale *sob* So I stopped eatting for long periods of time. "
Listening was so hard for Kuon; he couldn't believe that someone could do this to her. We yeah he could believe that sho-TARO could.
"He made me feel so worthless. I thought about death all the time."
Hearing that, he gently said, "Why didn't you tell me when this first started? Why didn't you come and talk to me?"
"I couldn't. I didn't want to burden you with my troubles. "
"Kyoko. You. Are. Never. Burdening. Me. With. Your. Troubles."
Taking his strong, but soft hand he lifted her pale chin to look at him and he gently said,
"Are we clear? I don't want you shutting me out any longer."
Seeing his eyes full of passion, her tears started up again,
"Yes."
Running his finger over her black eye, he asked
"Was he the one who hurt you?"
Nodding slightly, then burying her face into his wet, silky shirt.
"Are you sure I'm not a burden to you?"
"NEVER. And you will not ever be a burden to me."
Seeing her like this was unnerving, but he knew he had to be the strong one there for her.
Staring into his chocolate brown eyes she saw that he was telling the truth to her and not lying. For once in a long time, she believed that the person holding her spoke the truth.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Lory! It's been two hours! I want to see her! "
Sighing, Lory was having a hard time keeping Kuu from running into Kyoko's room.
"Kuu, your son is the only one that can get through to her. If you run in there, it might ruin all his work. Be patient! "
"But! "
"Kuu.."
"Fine. *sigh* *pout*"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After talking to Ren and being by him, Kyoko was starting to feel better. It was a work in progress; she still had doubts but time would fix that.
Looking down at the broken angel he had become to love deeply, he saw that the conversation they had earlier had worn her out. Watching her eyes close then feeling her body relax in his strong arms, he smiled that he got somewhat through to her before it was too late. He was making progress with her. It would be a long process of recovery but Kuon was more than willing to help her though it. As the broken girl lay in her protector's lap, he too fell into a deep sleep. Knowing that she was safe in his arms, where she should be.
Not able to hold Kuu back any longer, he went in to see his sons. Kuu was ready to give his son a lecture she would never forget but when he went into the room, he found that his son was in his other son's arms asleep. Seeing that he couldn't give a lecture to the sleeping couple, he shut the door quietly not wanting to wake them.
After sleeping all night, Kyoko woke up in a tight, warm embrace. Looking up at the man that claimed to care for her, she started to cry once again. She always felt so safe in his arms, like nothing could ever hurt her in his arms.
What is this feeling?
Waking up to the sounds of sobbing, he jolted awake to comfort her.
"What's the matter Kyoko?"
Sniffling, she quietly said,
"I'm so scared he will come for me."
Wiping away her tears with his soft pad of his thumb, he looked at her sincerely in the eye saying,
"I will NEVER let him hurt you again! NEVER!"
"Promise?"
"I promise."
Then he pulled her into a embrace; she winced in pain. Seeing that he hurt her, he said
"Kyoko I'm so sorry. What hurts?"
Still feeling the stinging pain she said,
"It's okay I'm fine. It's just that the drugs are probably wearing off. "
Concerned for her, he asked a little bit more sternly,
"What hurts? Kyoko?"
" I'm fine really..."
Seeing right through her white lie, he said sternly,
" Kkyyyookkkoo, stop lying... What hurts?"
Hearing his stern voice she complied and told him,
"My back's a little raw that's it."
"Let me see it. Sit up. "
Blushing profusely she said,
"No it's fine Tsuruga-san! There no need for you to trouble yourself. "
A little irritated that she used his last name, he said,
"Ren ... Kyoko .. Ren .. I want you call me Ren and you're no trouble to me at all; now sit up. "
Sighing, she sat up, with her back facing him.
When she sat up, Ren started to untie the bows at the back of her hospital gown. When the first bow was undone, his breath hitched at the purple and green marks. As he undid the next one bow, the marks were a deeper shade. When he has undid them all, and was staring at her horribly bruised back. His blood boiled with anger.
Feeling her demon antenna vibrate, she quickly said,
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Completely confused to why she was apologizing Ren asked,
"Why are you apologizing? "
"It's all my fault. If I wasn't so useless this wouldn't ever happen!"
Getting frustrated, Ren said sternly,
"THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT! You are not useless! "
"But.. "
"No. It's not. How many times do I have to tell you it not your fault?"
Peering back over at her back then gently as possible laying a hand on her beaten back, he just had to ask,
"Kyoko? What did he do? To make it like this?"
Feeling his warm, gentle touch on her back she stiffened a little. To know he was beside her and that she wasn't alone made her feel wanted. So she retold the story of what had happened at the clearing and when she was done. She was met with the fate of the demon lord that was just thirsting for HIS blood to be spilled EVERYWHERE!
"Ren.. Ren? Ren? "
"What?"
"You were staring at the wall like it was your worst enemy. Giving it death glares."
While calming down, he tied the gown that was loosely hanging on her bony shoulders then said calmly,
"It's okay, I'm fine. Hey it's getting late Kyoko. I hate to leave you but I need to go do something. I'll be back in the morning."
"Ren?"
"Yeah."
"You promise you'll come back?"
His eyes softened at her weak voice then smiled at her saying,
"Always."
With that he went out of the room into the streets.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Walking through the streets, Kuon hunted for his prey. Once he came upon Queen Records, he went inside to find out that he just left. Running down the stairs to the parking garage, he found the fake blond bastard walking. As he looked down on his prey, Kuon smiled wickedly. It would have been almost pitch black, if it weren't for the dim overhead lights the perfect spot to pounce.
When the bastard was about to get into the van, a large, strong, muscular hand pulled him backwards and forced him onto the cold concrete floor. Looking up at man before him, half in the pitch darkness and half in the dim light... As he laid his eyes on the mysterious face, he paled at the sight before him. Before he could say a word, he was roughly picked up like he weighed nothing and slammed against the cold concrete wall.
"DAMN YOU FUWA! Kyoko told me what you did to her. Now I'm here to make you suffer. I'm not gonna kill you. That would be too easy, but you're gonna wish you were dead once I get done with you!"
With that Kuon put all his strength and punched Sho in the stomach as hard as he could. Smiling at the sound of breaking ribs and the high pitched scream coming from his victim, Kuon would enjoy every second of causing this bastard pain. Then he let out a couple punches to his miserable face, then finally letting go of the poor excuse of a man, Sho fell to the floor howling in pain. Once again pushing him back up to his feet, Kuon punched him again and again. As Sho tried to fight back, Kuon then snatched his hands and pinning them atop of his head. Seeing that his opponent was trapped, he reared back his fist as far as he could go then socking him in the chin. As he watched his ememy stumble and fall to the ground Kuon squatted in front of the washed up Rock Star, then saying with much disgust and pleasure in his tone of voice,
"Hahahaha! You think I'm finished! Kyoko told me how you beat her. Well? Let's see how you like it? "
Seeing Kuon unbuckle his belt and whip it from his jeans, Sho's eyes widened in fear even more at the man before him.
As he took aim, he put all his anger into the belt onto Sho.
Lashing again and again, the cries of pain were like music to his ears. After he thought he had enough Kuon stopped then walked up to the weeping figure and said in a harsh tone
"YOU HURT KYOKO, SO I HURT YOU. YOU ARE NEVER EVER ALLOWED TO COME NEAR MY KYOKO AGAIN! "
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After a couple of hours of no sleep, Kyoko laid there in bed. What she didn't know was that someone was watching her from afar. Hearing shuffling in a corner, Kyoko started to tremble a little; then said,
"Who's there?"
Knowing he had been caught, the man stood up tall and proud then walked over to the girl saying,
"I bring you no harm, young one."
After hearing his voice she recognized it, her eyes widened; it was Dr. Sato...
"Dr. Sato? What are you doing here?"
He knew he should stay away from her, because he had made a promise to her mother to stay away from the girl.
"Yes, it me."
"What are you doing here?"
Taking a deep breath he said,
"I just had to see my daughter one last time. "
" WHAT! what is it with you people! I'm not your daughter! I wish people would leave alone! "
He knew she would go into denial, but he kept on,
"Yes, you are my daughter. Your mom made me promise I wouldn't make contact with you."
Looking at him like he was mad she said,
"My father is dead. "
"I am here my child. For I am not dead."
Still not believing she said,
"You don't have any resemblance to me."
Trying to keep his cool, he took out a contact box from his pocket and took out his contacts then showing her his eyes.
They're gold like mine!
Once the contacts were out, he pulled at his brown wig and revealed silky black hair. The man before her was in every way her father, it was undeniable now.
Black hair like mine!
Almost speechless that her father was indeed alive and right in front of her. Tears started to fall as she said,
"Why! Why weren't you there when I needed you?"
Knowing that was coming he knew he would have to explain,
"Your mother didn't want me to see you because at the time, I wasn't too great of a person. So she made me promise never to interfere with your life. That's what I did too; I would watch over you, even though I couldn't reach out to you. Just being there and seeing you play was enough for me to be happy. For years I watched you grow up from the shadows, I always loved you and always will. On that same day I made that promise to your mom, I also made a promise to myself that I would tell you one day when you were older.. "
"Is your last name really Sato? "
Sighing he said,
"No, I had to hide my identity so she wouldn't find out that I've been watching over you... My real name is Mogami, Len, I had to change my name to be able to be close to you. You see your mother doesn't want me to be by you because one day before you were born. We had a really bad fight about you, she didnt want to have a family. Your mother said over and over 'I don't want a family an I don't want you either', I wanted a family , I wanted you... After five months of arguing, I had struck a deal with your mother that if the you could have my name, and I could send money for you I would leave...I didn't stuck a deal with that woman because I cared for her, but the reason I asked for my last name to be yours, was so that I would always know where you were and if you ever needed me I would be there. It surprised me years later that she changed her last name to fit yours
Tears bursting at the seams, she said,
"Father, come give me a hug."
His eyes widened at her calling him father but quickly came and gave her a warm embrace.
"Father, does this mean I have to keep it a secret that I met you?"
"Yes, you must not tell anyone. If your mother found out we talked to each other it would be very bad. "
"Thank you for telling me!"
"I'm glad too my daughter. I'm glad too."
Hugging his precious daughter one last time, he left with his last words saying,
"I will always be watching over you! I love you! My precious daughter! I have to say goodbye for a while but I see you're in good hands."
After putting back on his contacts and wig, he looked at his daughter saying,
"Remember Kyoko, I'm your doctor when you see me in the morning for your check-up, okay?"
As the tears streamed down her face, a small piece of her heart was healed because she knew that she had a living father.
After he kissed her forehead, he saw that she had just fallen asleep from exhaustion of their conversation. Smiling down at her he said,
"I shall return.." ****
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arriving at the hospital early this morning to see his Kyoko, when Ren went into her room to find her awakening. Smiling at her sleepy face, he went over to her bed and held her hand whispering sweetly,
"Good Morning."
" nnnnnmmmmnn"
"I'm going to sit you up okay. "
"Okay."
Reaching over, Ren placed his hands underneath her arms pulling her into a sitting position.
"How are you feeling?"
"Weak and tired."
At that moment the nurse came in with two cans of broth giving it to Ren. Seeing the cans of broth, she stared at him questionably then saying,
"If you're thinking I'm gonna drink that forget it."
Ren's eyes hardened a bit at her refusal for food but sternly said,
"You must eat, because you are extremely underweight. That's why they put a tube in your side so that we can starting feeding you."
Her eyes widened at this new information, she didn't like this idea one bit.
Rolling her over on her right side, Ren pulled the blanket down to her hips then untying a couple bows of her hospital gown. Slowly he pushed the gown over to reveal the tube. After took the cap off of the tube, he opened the can of broth then pouring it into the tube careful not to spill any.
As he poured the broth into her, Kyoko was freaking out that she was eating! Her eyes widened in panic, no she couldn't eat. Even though it felt so good to have food in her stomach, she couldn't. Trying to move but couldn't because she had used up all the strength she had with the conversation with Ren and her father.
Glancing over at her face, he saw pure panic written all over her face.
"Kyoko what's wrong?"
"Please please stop I can't! I can't! "
"You can't what?"
"I can't eat. Please no more. I'll gain weight!"
"Kyyoookkkoo, yes you will eat and you're going to gain weight because you're skin and bones!"
"No! No! I can't! "
"You can and you will... Now that's final."
"But!"
Ren glared at her, meaning this conversation is over; then opened another can of broth and pouring it into the tube. While he poured the broth in, Kyoko pouted and didn't even glance at him. After snapping the tube shut, Ren said playfully,
"Now that wasn't too bad. It didn't kill you to eat, did it? Huh."
Hearing his playful tone, she glared at the wall not even glancing his way.
After he pulled the gown back together and laced it up, he turned her weak form over onto her back. Before he say something about her pouting expression, Dr. Sato came in.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Sato. How are you feeling? "
Looking up the man, she said,
"Weak."
"That's expected. Ahh I see you've had some broth. That's good. We need to get your strength back up. Now Mr. Tsuruga could you step out for a minute? I need to change her bandages."
Nodding, Ren walked out and waited outside the door.
Once Ren had closed the door, Dr. Sato approached Kyoko and started to unwrap her old bloody bandages on her arms first. When he saw the torn flesh he quickly cleaned it then wrapped clean white bandages on her cut wrist and arms. After he was finished, checked the rest of the cuts and bruises that were on her chest to make sure they were healing properly. Seeing that she was recovering properly, he decided that she could go home tomorrow if someone was with her at all times. Writing a prescription for antibiotics and pain relievers for her, he looked at her one more time then exited the room.
When Ren went outside the room, he was greeted by Lory and Kuu about to step in the room.
"The doctor is giving her a check-up at the moment. "
Nodding, they sat and waited until the doctor returned. Before they knew it, Dr. Sato came out.
"Ahh just the people I want to see."
Walking over to the men, Sato said,
"I need to know who's the guardian over her, I their signature for her medication."
Suddenly, Kuu turns to Lory and pouts pitifully,
" I want custody! She's my son!"
Taken aback, Dr. Sato was perplexed about the whole situation.
Wait.. Son? Yours? I think not, she's mine. I'm 100% positive that's MY daughter. And what's this whole son thing! She's a GIRL not a boy! I'm so confused!?
Sighing Lory, said
" No, Kuu she's already in my custody. Sorry."
Slumping in his chair, Kuu pouted and Ren smirked.
"Very well Lory, Can you sign here and here."
After Lory had signed the paper work, Ren asked,
" What kind of medication will she be needing?"
" She will be needing some anti-depressants, some pain meds, and some anti-biotics."
Lory spoke up saying,
" I'll have those picked up at the pharmacy for her. "
" Also I've decided to let Kyoko go home but on one condition. That she has someone to care for her. She'll still very weak and cannot walk. It says on her record she lives with an elderly couple? "
Ren spoke up saying,
"Yes. That's correct."
"She needs a new atmosphere. If she goes back to where she was, she will go back into her old ways. Maybe re-live old memories. So she needs to be placed somewhere else that she can be cared for."
Standing up, Ren said,
"She will stay with me; I will do it."
"If her guardian allows it then that will be the best choice."
Ren looked at Lory with pleading eyes, sighing in defeat, Lory consented.
"Now that's settled, here are some of her prescriptions for her to start taking tomorrow. Bring her back to see me in ten days to do another check up on her. Another thing Tsuruga-san, don't leave her alone. She needs around the clock care. She might look like she is alright now but inside she is extremely insecure."
With that the doctor walked away, not letting them say another word.
Lory spoke up saying to Ren,
"I will have her things in your apartment by tomorrow. "
"That will be great. Thanks."
With everything settled, they all three went into Kyoko's room to tell her the news.
