Chapter Eight – Very Significant Others

Kyoko smiled thoughtfully as she was given the final okay for her scene. The production was moving along so well that it might only be a couple of weeks until she was able to come home with Kuon and help him with his new singing career. It was still hard to think about him singing and it was a shame that London didn't have as many karaoke places as Japan did. She would have eagerly booked a room for the two of them just to watch and hear him sing.

Kyoko smiled as she went to her locker room and was surprised to see a couple of girls from the crew standing there. Two of them were from the hair and makeup and then one of them was a writer. She felt a little nervous.

Had she made a mistake that the director hadn't caught?

Had she said a line wrong or with the wrong emphasis placed on the word?

Dropping into a bow, Kyoko looked down. "I'm sorry if my English is affecting…" she apologized before the girls giggled and one of the women reached out to place a hand on Kyoko's shoulder.

"That blond yesterday, is he a friend of yours?" the writer asked hopefully as Kyoko smiled as she thought about Kuon.

"He's my husband, he came to visit me here –" Kyoko said as she smiled happily.

"Aww, shoot," one of the hair stylists said with a teasing grin, she tucked a strand of her own blonde hair behind her ear. "He was really good looking. I was going to ask you for his number."

"Did he come for Valentines Day?" the second hair stylist smiled, "That is so sweet of him. Wish I had a guy like that."

Kyoko placed a hand on the back of her neck and smiled. Why was it that on every continent people would ask her about Kuon? These women wanted to go out with him when really, Kyoko knew that Kuon only looked at her and treated her in the way that made her feel like she was a princess of a fairytale kingdom. As many flaws as he definitely did have, Kyoko felt lucky that he was so loyal to her and proved day after day his love for her.

"His birthday is the day after tomorrow," Kyoko tried to explain. "I want to celebrate it with him every year, this year I was a little scared that I wouldn't be able to."

"How long have you two been together? He looks soooo foreign and has a cute American accent," the blonde said.

Kyoko looked down, "We first met when I was six, but we've only known each other properly since I was sixteen. We started dating when I turned eighteen," she tried to explain. Her eyes lit up as she saw the man in question walking towards them with a gift bag from a famous jewelry company.

"Are you telling people about us?" he smiled as Kyoko got excited hearing the Californian accent. Whenever they would travel to an English-speaking country, she never tired of hearing it. She would have to remember to get him to speak more English when they returned to Japan.

"Of course I am," Kyoko grinned as she went over to kiss him and let his arms wrap around her before slowly letting her go. Kyoko gestured back to the three women. "This is my husband, Kuon Hizuri, he's a very famous actor in Japan and has done some international movies as well. Kuon, this is Amanda and Rebecca who are in the hair and makeup department, this is Ashley who is one of our writers."

Kuon reached out his hand with his dazzling smile, "It's nice to meet you. I really am thankful for all the hard work people in your positions do. I once had a scar that took about two hours to get put on every time I would shoot a scene."

Kyoko smiled as she thought about Mio and how long that process had taken before she had become used to it.

"Oh, that really does sound like something I've gone through, but it was good that the lad was right good looking," Amanda, the blonde, said as Kuon nodded.

"I wish I had a man who bought me jewelry," Rebecca said as she eyed the bag. "You're one lucky girl, Kyoko."

"I'm lucky to have Kuon in my life with or without jewelry," Kyoko said as she took her husband's hand and grinned up at him.

"So, sorry if this is a bit rude to ask," Rebecca said, "but the name Kuon, not exactly an American name, is it."

Kuon shook his head, "I'm only half American. I'm one quarter Japanese and one quarter Russian," he said as Kyoko looked down. She always forgot that he had Russian blood in him, Julienna might hunt her down if she ever admitted that to her. "I can speak Russian and Japanese as well. I also know Spanish, Italian, French, and a few phrases in Mandarin, Tagalog, and Korean."

"So, that's where you get your good looks," Amanda smiled. "Well you've got a keeper there, Kyoko." She winked, "See you tomorrow, nice meeting you, Kuon."

Kyoko smiled as she saw her husband politely say goodbye to them. She opened the door to her dressing room and smoothly pushed him back so they could enter. "Why do you always attract these women?" she asked as Kuon blinked.

"I honestly don't try to do so," he said with a weak smile as Kyoko kissed him again. "You do realize that you're the only girl that I've ever truly loved, don't you?"

"Oh, is that what you told Bo?" Kyoko winked at him and Kuon laughed.

"I told Bo a lot of things, that rooster questioned me a lot. It was almost as if he were spying on me," he grinned as Kyoko started getting changed, she washed the makeup off her face and then reapplied a light coating of her own.

"Are you doing anything this afternoon?" she asked since Kuon had been visiting contacts that he had made over the years in this area. "I thought that it might be a good idea for us to look for MAZE's girlfriend's getup," she said as Kuon smiled.

"How much input am I allowed to give here?" Kuon asked with a smile as Kyoko hummed.

"I'll let you carry my bags," she joked. She started to take off her shirt, glad that Kuon was the only man she felt comfortable undressing in front of otherwise she would have stayed in the shirt for years until he left. "I want to create her by myself but I don't want to create someone who will clash with MAZE or embarrass him so I want creative say but tell me if it's too much or too little."

Kyoko walked over to her husband, only wearing her bra and panties, "After all, I am a blank slate and…" she placed a hand down on Kuon's lap and gave him a teasing frown. "I should put some more clothes on before talking to you about this," she smiled glad that her husband obviously found her attractive.

"Okay," Kuon nodded, "We'll figure it out together later today."

Kyoko smiled at Kuon as they stood in the clothing store, around her neck was the gift that Kuon had found for her. It was a gold necklace that had a little golden fairy at the end of it. It looked like an antique but was made of new materials and very beautiful. Kyoko loved that her husband knew her so well.

"So, I think that MAZE is a guy who likes girls in leather jackets, right?" she asked as Kuon smiled at her.

"MAZE doesn't have much of an identity yet, aside from wearing hoodies and loving to include musical solos in his work," Kuon nodded, "but he is also flexible in how he appears. He's just starting off after all."

Kyoko nodded, "but it feels that he is a visual kei artist or maybe someone who can produce a little softer and more gentle work, but he still seems as if he has an edge to him," Kyoko smiled as she found a leather jacket that also had a hood on it. It had a good, sleek design and had buttons and a zip with lions on it.

"How about this?" she asked and Kuon smiled at it.

He held it before nodding, "It's good and the material's not too thin," he said as Kyoko looked at him.

"Come on, Kuon, we both know that you're not afraid of seeing a woman's body," she teased him. "Especially your wife's…unless you're scared that MAZE might give into his jealousy." Kyoko looked at him and saw that dazzling smile.

"It's not about jealousy…this time," he added quickly as Kyoko blinked. She knew that her husband had a jealous and protective side when it came to her, she didn't believe he wouldn't worry about her if she wore something that would accidentally lead guys on. "I'm more worried about you picking something that you'll freeze in," he admitted.

Kyoko smiled as she heard that, she felt the fabric again. "No, it's good and it's not going to wear out easily," she tried to take it back but Kuon was holding onto it for her. "I can…"

"I'm treating you to this so let me carry it," he smiled to her as Kyoko shifted awkwardly.

"Well, your birthday is coming up and although I've already bought your gift. I don't want you to feel that you can't buy yourself something. MAZE needs some new outfits too," she tried to remind him. She sighed, when it came to her, Kuon was a lot like Cain was with Setsuka. He didn't spend too much money on himself but when it came to her, he treated her like a princess. The only thing that Kuon had really treated himself to were his cars over the years.

"MAZE will get new outfits, but that's not we're focusing on today," Kuon grinned to her and Kyoko nodded before her eyes lit up at some long-sleeved shirts in different stripes such as black and white and red and black. She put them together with the leather jacket. They looked good and paired nicely.

"Have you considered what to do with your hair?" Kuon asked as Kyoko set to picking out some black pants that she could add to the collection. She grinned as she found a pair that came with a belt that was designed to look like a cable.

Kyoko hummed as she thought over that question. She hadn't spent too much time thinking about how she could change her appearance by focusing on her hair but she did like the idea of contacts. Maybe if she even had some purple colored contacts and used makeup so her skin looked paler than usual it would work. She needed to pick a hair color that would look good.

"I'm thinking something short and blue," she said as she touched the back of her neck. "Maybe some punk style or a range of blues. I mean, MAZE has silver hair, he could definitely have that type of girlfriend. Maybe even a lip ring," she thought to herself.

"What shade of blue?" Kuon asked as Kyoko smiled as she thought about the way that she and Corn had been as children and he had told her that the stone would take away her sadness if she tried to send the sadness to it. She then looked at her wedding ring and felt confidence in her decision.

"The same color that I think of every time I remember how lucky I am that you're my husband, Corn" she told him as he smiled.

Hopefully this would work out well.
