A/N: Okay, Warning: There is cursing in this chapter.
Everyone watched Sho and Ren fight. They were exchanging blows and kicks at a rapid pace. No one had ever seen Ren fight like this before. It was scary.
Nobody knew what the hell was going on. All they knew was that Tsuruga Ren was pissed off and that Fuwa Sho seemed pissed off right along beside him. Yashiro pulled out his trusty camcorder and was filming this fight.
"Tsuruga Ren and Fuwa Sho! Stop this right now!" Everyone looked and saw Kyoko standing in the door of the Inn holding the little girl that came with Hizuri. Ren and Sho stopped instantly and were breathing heavily. They were covered in scrapes and bruises. She sighed and set Amanda down so that she could grab the first add kit from the staff. She walked over to the boys and said, "Just because we all received news that none of us are thrilled about, does not give you cause to kill each other. Now sit down." Ren sat but Sho protested.
"Fuwa Sho get your scrawny ass on that bench right this second or I will sic Amanda-chan on you." Amanda smiled sweetly up at him. "Please don't make me have to chase you down cousin." Ren turned his head to the side and laughed into his fist. "Shut up Tsuruga. She is your little sister!"
Ren smiled and said, "And as my little sister and a female, my dad has probably already started training her on how to fight. Ow!" He held his hand over the cut that Kyoko had just disinfected. "I don't want to hear it. It is your fault that you are in this mess." Ren pouted. "Actually, all I was going to do was some stretching and some kick boxing."
Sho glared at him while Amanda sat in his lap. "Looked to me like you were about kill the tree over here." "Then this idiot has to come and pick a fight. I wasn't in the mood to care about anything." "The conditions were: No killings, broken bones or sprains." "And we held to that."
"Ren, you are an actor and a model! Sho, you are a pop idol! People look up to you. What do you think their reactions are going to be when they find out that you two fought?"
Ren and Sho shared a look. "That it was a fight between cousins."
There were several gasps. The four turned. "Great, we have an audience." Sho said sarcastically. "Be nice Sho/Fuwa/Ahou" The three older ones looked down at Amanda who smiled at them. "Did you just call me 'Ahou?'" Ren ruffled his sister's hair and said,."How old are you Amanda-chan?" She held up five fingers. He smiled, "Do you have trouble with you 'S' sounds?" She nodded. He leaned down and smiled widely at her, "Want to know a secret?" She nodded her head. Ren picked her up and said, "Big brother had the same trouble when he was your age. Now, repeat after me, slowly, SH..O' Or Fuwa as I call him."
"S...s..sh...o. Sh..o. Sho." Kyoko kissed her forehead. "Good job Amanda-chan." Amanda clasped her hands and giggled.
Kuu, Julie, Hikari, Ryuji and Lory all stood on the door step watching the scene. They chuckled when they heard Amanda call Sho, 'Aho'. Julie gasped and turned to Kuu who raised his hands in a defensive gesture. "She does have trouble with the 'S' sound sweetie. Just like Koun did when he was younger."
Selena walked past them and mumbled, "This is one messed up family. I am out of here. I hope to never see any of you again." They glared at her. Lory spoke in a calm voice and said, "Ichigo would be disappointed in the way you turned out. He is probably rolling around in his grave at knowing what you did." She got up in his face and said, "Don't you dare tell me that Lory-san. It is because of that bitch right there that he is dead."
Kyoko gasped when she heard her mother. Ren hugged her and Sho placed his hand on her back. Amanda looked on not understanding.
"Do you know why your son was out at two am that morning? Because that bitch made me have a craving so strong that it sent him out. The week after his funeral I tried go get an abortion, but I was too far along. When she was born I couldn't even look at her. The reason why my husband is dead. I left when the little murder was-" She was cut off when a hand came out and slapped her across the face. She looked at the hand and then the arm. She then connected the arm to the shoulder and then to the face. Tsuruga Ren was standing in front of her, with hate filled eyes.
Sho held Kyoko back as she made to go to him. Everyone else stared in shock. Tsuruga Ren had just struck somebody. And a female at that. Granted she was pissing people off by what she was saying, But this was Tsuruga Ren, Master of Cool and Composed.
Ren stood in front of her and said in a calm voice, "Shut the hell up you sorry excuse for a woman. So that is the real reason why you put Kyoko thru hell for 18 years? Because your husband died while on the run to settle a craving you had? Honestly, you are one dumb bitch. Can you honestly not see that he loved you two enough to do that at two am? If I was in that position, I would bend over backwards to keep my pregnant wife and unborn child happy. If I happened to die before the child was born, then hopefully my wife will love that child enough for the both of us because it would be half of me and half of her. Apparently you went off the deep end and blamed your unborn child who had no control over anything." He sighed. "You are pathetic. I hate women like you. Thankfully Kyoko take after the other side of the family. I honestly don't see any of you in her."
Selena growled and attacked him. He just calmly held her hands as they tried to scratch him. "Okay, bitch is the proper term for you." "SHUT UP! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW ANYHING!" Ren looked at her and said, "You are right, I don't know how you feel, I am just telling you how your daughter feels." He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at Kyoko. "Look there, do you see how she is shaking? LOOK. Do you see how she won't meet anyone's gaze? Do you see how she flinches away from the mere sight of you!? DO YOU SEE THESE?!"
Selena jerked her head out of his gasped and looked away. Ren bent down and growled in her ear. "No child should ever be afraid of the parent. If I died and somehow found out that my wife was mistreating our child, I would come back and haunt her for the rest of her life. That is unforgivable in my book. Now get the fuck out of here. If I ever see you around Kyoko again, well... It's just better you not be around her." Selena stumbled away from him and grabbed for her keys. She got into her car and drove off.
Ren took a deep breath and turned around only to stumble back as Kyoko threw herself against him and cried into his shirt. He looked down and hugged her to him. "I'm sorry." He whispered to her. She just clung to him tighter. He bent down and picked her up. He walked over to a tree and sat down under it. He stretched out and laid her between his legs, while still resting on his chest. He looked up and saw that the tree they were under was a Sakura tree. He picked up a blossom that had fallen on the ground. "Hey Kyoko, look at the blossoms." Kyoko lifted her head and saw the flower. She gave him a small smile. He pulled her hair back and placed the flower behind her ear. He kissed her forehead and then leaned back against the trunk and wrapped his arms around her. The Sakura blossoms fell around them.
Everyone stared at them then at the people by the front of the inn. Sho walked over with Amanda in his arms. "Well, that was interesting. Who knew that Ren had it in him to be hardass." Kuu glared at him lightly while he took Amanda from him. Hikari gasped and everyone turned to her. "What is it mother?" Sho asked worriedly. "I forgot that the modeling shoot was today." Kuu, Julie and Lory chuckled. Lory smiled and said, "Hikari-san, I don't think that will be a problem." He pointed to where a photographer was taking pictures of Ren and Kyoko sitting under the Sakura tree. Hikari smiled and said, "They make a cute couple. Oh. I have to go get breakfast started. Ryuji dear, since they are so late getting started and it is mainly our fault..." Her husband smiled and said, "I already put a notice on the door saying that we are closed for the day due to family emergency. Now, why don't you and I go to the kitchens and round up some food for these people here." Hikari smiled and followed he husband.
Kuu watched them leave and then looked down at his wife, "So, all the cooking skills went to your younger sister?" She chuckled at him. "Shut up Kuu. Let's go help them." She turned to Sho, "Would it too much to ask you to watch over Amanda for us?" Sho just nodded and Kuu handed her back. "We'll be outside for a while." "Thank you Sho."
Ren leaned his head against the tree and pulled Kyoko tighter to him. She sighed and wiped her eyes. He pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to her. She used it and the snuggled up more into him. He kissed her hair and said in a teasing voice, "Well, while I may not like your mother, your grandfather isn't all that bad." She chuckled. "Your Aunt and Uncle, I don't really know about, but your cousin is one hell of a fighter." She laid her head on his chest and looked at him. "They are your Aunt, Uncle and cousin too." He smirked, "Not Tsuruga Ren's..." She kissed his chin and said sweetly, "The Tsuruga Ren doesn't have a cute little sister." He gave her a puppy dog look. "Low blow there." She just smiled at him. Ren looked down at her and gently grabbed her chin. He bent down and pressed his lips against hers.
"Onii-san and Onee-san are kissing!" The two jumped apart and looked over to see Amanda standing ten feet away with a smug looking Sho. "Yes Amanda-chan they were. You are not allowed to do that until you are much older." Ren glared up at him and said, "Isn't that supposed to be my line?" "Don't worry Koun, your father already told her she can't date until she is twenty." Julie said walking over to them. Ren chuckled, "How have you been mom?"
Yuuri turned to Yashiro and asked, "Mother? Sister? Cousin? Just what the hell did we miss inside?" Yashiro didn't reply, he just called out, "Ren, is your real name Hizuri Koun by any chance?"
. . . . . . . . . Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed.
Ren stood up and looked toward his mother and sister, then at his girlfriend. He looked at Yashiro and replied, "I am."
The shoot went quiet. A few people were on the ground openly staring at him in shock. Maaki was the first to recover. He looked at everyone and said, "Hey! Don't you guys have pictures to take? Get your butts in gear. Just because Demon Lord revealed who he really was don't mean ya gotta stand around gapping like idiots."
Ren and Kyoko chuckled. "Thank you for those inspiring words Maaki-san. You are right. We have cameras to model for."
"But not before a healthy breakfast." Hikari said from the doorway. "Everyone, we have prepared a late breakfast for you all. Please come in and enjoy it."
Growl.
Everyone looked over at Amanda. She just shrugged and said, "Excuse me. I must be hungry." Ren turned to his mother and said, "Does she eat as much as dad?" She laughed and shook her head. "No, she just hasn't eaten in several hours. Now come on, let's go eat. I am pretty sure Yuuri-san is already going over the photos that he took of you two under the tree."
Ren sighed and picked his sister up then grabbed Kyoko's hand. He looked down at her and said, "I have a feeling that it is going to be a looooong day." She looked at him and said, "I have a feeling that you are going to need to put your shirt back on." He looked down, sure enough, he had never put his shirt back on.
A/N: Okay, before you leave me a review saying that Ren was OOC, I truly don't think that he is. Remember, he plays one hell of a Cain Heel, who is the human version of the Grim Reaper. Right then, he was channeling Cain Heel. Or the darker version of Koun Hizuri. Whichever one you prefer.
I will try to update a chapter, or two if I can manage it, once a month. Along with my other Stories. So please be patient. Thank you!
