"Well, at least that answers one question." Kyoko said as she read the P.S.

"We really are married." Kuon said as he held her in his arms tightly.

"Any idea who Mark and Carl are?" Kyoko asked as she looked at the letter. Kuon shook his head. Reaching for the phone on the sideboard he dialed the number,

"No, but I'm going to find out." He didn't have to wait long before a smooth and mellow male voice sounded down the phone line.

"Hello, Mark speaking?" was the polite voice that echoed in Ren's ear.

"Hello Mark, my name is.." but he was suddenly cut off mid sentence by an excited little scream that reminded him so much of Yashiro's fan girl episodes.

"Carl...Carl, seems they're finally awake!" he must have pulled back from the headset as it did not deafen Ren but he could hear it clearly.

"OK, sweetheart you're probably wondering who I am and how I know you, but please don't worry. We will be over in 5 minutes to explain everything so make sure that the front desk knows to expect us." Ren didn't even get a moment to speak before the phone was put down. Ren turned and gazed at Kyoko.

"So? Do we know anything?" she asked softly, Ren just shook his head.

"No, but they're on their way over now to explain." Kyoko giggled in her own sweet way.

"Well, at least we may get some answers." Ren nodded as he picked up the phone once more.

"It's not too late back home, I'm going to give the president a call." Kyoko looked terrified.

"What are you going to tell him?" she whispered almost faintly. Ren sighed as he held the phone in his hand,

"What else can I tell him but the truth?"

Lory had finally gotten Maria into bed. As he sat once more to enjoy the glass of brandy he had poured for himself, he felt exhausted for the first time in a long time and wondered whether he too should just go up to bed, but he refrained,

I will only wait for a little longer...

he thought as he stared out at the near darkness outside the window. He could see shapes and some shades of colour but full dark would be here soon. Maybe then he would go to bed.

*RING RING...RING RING*

Lory jumped at the sudden noise, but his heart leapt,

Was it them?

Putting on his most serious tone he answered the phone,

"Hello Takarada Lory speaking?" he said as he counted the second for the answer.

"Hello boss, how are you?" Lory's face split into a wide grin the moment he heard Kuon's voice, for it wasn't Ren he was speaking to it was definitely Kuon. Controlling his smile as even across the phone a smile can travel, he set his face gravely.

"What have you done with my Mogami-san, Kuon?" his voice was like cold steel as Kuon muttered and stuttered a little but eventually he was able to speak. If Lory would have seen the reason for his voice he would have been having fits. As Kyoko walked forward, wrapping her arms around Ren, she held him as he again found the words he wanted to speak.

"I'm afraid there is no longer a Mogami Kyoko, boss." Lory listened as he paused,

"What do you mean, Kuon?" he asked, unable to keep the concern out of his voice. Had Kyoko reacted badly? Had she rejected him? Lory's mind was a cavalcade of mixed emotions as he waited with baited breath.

"Boss, I mean exactly what I said. There is no longer a Mogami Kyoko, she will be known from now on as either Tsuruga Kyoko or Hizuri Kyoko, but at this moment we are just waiting for confirmation of which." It was too much. Lory couldn't pretend anymore. He whooped and yelled for joy as he screamed down the phone.

"You finally did it my boy! You chased her until you caught her! I'm so proud of you, though I must say," at this point his voice took on a very serious tone,

"I'm not too happy about how or where you chose to elope." Ren chuckled and Kyoko giggled as she could hear every word Lory was saying.

"So how is my dear Kyoko-chan?" he asked finally after a rant about how to do things properly and how he should have done things. Kuon didn't mind since he was too happy in that moment to care.

"She's fine boss, we just both need a little more time. As I said we are awaiting some more information. We will call you back tomorrow." Lory nodded happily, he had already placed the puzzle together in his head that they were young, drunk and in love. It was bound to happen. He was just happy it hadn't backfired.

Kanae looked down at the message she had just received,

Sorry I missed all your calls and messages Moko.

Please don't say you're not my friend any more.

As soon as I've sorted everything out, I will call you and tell you everything,

I promise!

Your best friend,

Kyoko

Kanae sighed as she read the message for a third time still unsure of what to say. She was angry and if she had to say it, a little hurt by Kyoko's sudden eloping. But she also understood it had not been intentional and it wasn't something planned. It was just a spur of the moment thing with drunken antics that had gone too far. She swiftly typed a reply message and waited. She couldn't sleep, she had been trying to for quite a while now. Still tired from her travelling, she wondered if Kyoko would reply to her short message of: "Are you happy?"When her phone signalled a new message, she jumped up instantly her fingers almost fumbling over the phone.

Kanae smiled fully for the first time that day as all of Kyoko's feelings were put into one word:

YES!

Kanae lay down finally and slept, happy in the thought that her best and truest friend had finally found a little of the happiness she deserved.

Yashiro looked down at his phone, dreading who it might be this time. As he dared peek at the name, his heart soared as, slipping on his glove he picked up his phone:

Yashiro,

I'm really sorry for the mess I left you in,

but I know you won't be sorry by the outcome

it has achieved.

Thank you for always being not only my manager,

but also my friend too, I promise I will fill

you in on all the details as soon as I can

Ren.

The message was simple and to the point just like their friendship and even though the workload from Ren's disappearing act was large, Ren was correct. Yashiro couldn't have been happier for either of them.

Ren and Kyoko opened the door together, to find a large bouquet of red roses blocking most of the doorway. A tall blond man stood holding them as the slightly shorter, brown haired man laughed.

"Hello Kuon." the blond said with a twinkle in his blue eyes. Ren visibly stumbled back a few steps as he came face to face with his own cousin. Carl Matthews smiled at the astounded look on his cousin's face as he laughed whole heartedly,

"You think you had a shock! Imagine going to pick up my partner only to find my intoxicated cousin in the store buying engagement and wedding rings to secretly elope? These are for you, you Honeybee." he said handing the roses to Kyoko, who blushed furiously as Ren, finally regaining his composure pulled Carl into an embrace. After introductions, Carl and Mark Michaels were welcomed into the suite with open arms, Ren called for their 24 hour butler service to bring up food for them and their guests as they sat, ate and talked.

"I can't believe this, it's just too strange to put words to." Kuon said again as Carl smiled,

"Well, like I said, it was the biggest shock I think I've ever had. You with your beautiful honeybee inside Tiffany's, buying rings."

Carl was an accomplished clothing designer while Mark designed and created beautiful jewellery. Kyoko found it a little odd to begin with. Thinking of them as a couple, it was highly frowned upon in Japan, but sitting there watching the pair talking with them, she couldn't see what was wrong with their love in the slightest.

"Erm, if you don't mind me asking why do you call me honeybee?" Kyoko asked hadn't spoken much, only when spoken to or asked direct questions, but this had been something she had been wondering about so she needed to ask.

Mark smiled his slow sweet smile and chuckled slightly,

"Because my dear I have never seen eyes like yours. They remind me of golden honey and when you were drunk last night you told me you like the name so to call you as such. You really do have beautiful eyes. I think some nice amber jewellery would set them off beautifully." Kyoko blushed scarlet at the praise as Kuon decided it was time they started talking about last night.

"Can you tell us exactly what happened last night?" he asked, slightly embarrassed himself as Mark and Carl laughed.

"Don't worry Kuon, I've got you covered."

Reaching in his bag, he pulled out a Samsung video camera, a Nikon Digital Camera plus what looked like 2 DVD's and a large rectangular item wrapped in white cloth. Carl was just about to speak again as the phone rang. Excusing himself, Kuon answered it and spoke quietly for a few moments before replacing the receiver. Kyoko saw Kuon's face. It was deathly pale as he turned around slowly, she was up out of her chair instantly,

"Kuon, what's wrong?" she asked almost running to his side. As he turned shocked eyes to her he whispered,

"My parents are here."

Kuu and Julie waited as the door handle slowly turned and opened revealing a tall blond man.

"Hello Aunt Julie, Hello Uncle Kuu what a wonderful surprise!" the two Hizuri's stood stock still in surprise,

"Carl what are you doing here?" Julie asked, as he smiled at her lovingly, motioning for them to enter.

"Well, at the moment I'm welcoming you in while your son and my partner try and talk the beautiful Honeybee out of the bathroom where she has locked herself in." Julie and Kuu both looked shocked.

"What's wrong with Kyoko-chan? Is she OK?" "Is she ill?" they both started bombarding Carl with questions as he again smiled his warm smile.

"No, no. As far as I could gather, she dashed from the room saying something along the lines of being a disappointment to you, and not being worthy of your son." he gestured to the left and Kuu was gone through the open door towards Kyoko. Julie stood firm a moment longer and turned to Carl.

"So why are you really here Carl?" she asked slowly, she would feel very hurt if Kuon had contacted her own nephew before his own mother and father.

"Don't worry Auntie Jules, we met completely by accident yesterday afternoon, so I just made sure that I caught their big moments for you." her eyes twinkled as he motioned towards the cameras on the table. Julie squealed with excitement.

"Oh you are an angel Carl!" he just laughed as she ran off towards the other room and her new daughter-in-law.

Well I better warn the staff if Uncle wants to eat

Allowing the others to talk Kyoko out of her temporary hide away, he rang down for more room service as all of the big hotels in the business knew.

"Yes, hello? I would like to place an order plus extra for Hizuri Kuu." that meant calling in the big guns.
