When Plans Go Awry
He was stunned. This did not go as he had planned at all. His parents were supposed to come to Tokyo, see that she was living alone in that dingy little, crap restaurant and take her back with them. Instead he found himself sitting in the backseat of his parent's car, with a contract that was canceled under the threat of him being underaged, employed by Akatoki without their permission and she was emancipated with the blessing of the woman that he thought hated her.
What had happened? Well, after Fuwa Yayoi and Sho's father had met the Okami and the Taisho of the Darumaya, they were satisfied that Kyoko was in safe hands of some very kind and down to Earth people that just so happened to be old friends. In the process of reminiscing with said friends, the Fuwas had been updated on the abhorrent behavior of their son, which was actually the reason for the visit in the first place. Sho couldn't have possibly known that the only reason why the older couple had even allowed him in the restaurant was due to the fact that they had been asked to keep an eye on the pair after they had discovered the identities of said children when Kyoko had filled out her job application.
Yayoi was disgusted by her son's behavior with Kyoko and appalled at the rumors that were circulating about him and his manager, along with a vast number of starlets. What made thing worse for Yayoi was the fact that Saena had called her, just after her meeting with Kyoko and informed her to keep her stalker son away from her daughter or, she would take legal steps to see to it that he never came near her again.
Saena had discovered everything that Sho had ever done, via Susumu Todoh and the wonderful blessing of modern technology. Sho had been careless in his interactions with Kyoko, so his verbal abuses, his physical attacks, his sexual assault, kidnapping of her and even some of his violent temper tantrums that he displayed in the empty halls, along with draping himself over several female directors, producers and photographers, had all been caught on security camera films, recorded by bystanders and posted on the internet and all had willing witnesses.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that when he called his mother and told her that the entertainment industry was corrupting Kyoko and turning her into a loose woman, his parents would investigate first. He had actually believed that his parents trusted him implicitly when they gave his uncle permission to be his temporary guardian. He had no idea that Uncle Ken'Ichi had been informing them of the many times he had used his connections to the man, that it was getting back to his parents. He actually thought that he had been able to deceive them with his "stellar" acting ability and convince them that he was genuinely concerned about her, not stalking her when he called for her scheduling and her personal address along with her phone number. He had no idea that they were in constant contact with Lory Takarada and he had politely informed them of the activities of their son to his #1 LoveMe girl and the reason that she was in that particular position.
When Yayoi had discovered what the LoveMe Section was and why Kyoko was there, she was livid. Kyoko was such a loving and caring girl. It galled her that her son was the sole person responsible for the state the girl was in now. She was ashamed to even claim him as her son when she discovered that Kyoko had to work three jobs and miss her first year of high school, while he sat in the lap of luxury and reaped the rewards for Kyoko's hard work. It was offensive and she was disgusted.
So, all of this was why, after visiting with Kyoko and their old friends for a week, she, her husband and her brother, paid a visit to the president of Akatoki on that fateful day and politely informed her that they wished for the contract to be null and void. Shotaro was released from Akatoki the next day and the money and fame that he so had relished in, was forfeit. His belongings were removed from the apartment of the manager that he was sleeping with and she was now being terminated from her position, along with being sued by Viride Law Offices for having illicit sexual relations with a minor. The information and photographic proof of the affair was also forwarded to the local police precinct for further investigation. They would be keeping a close eye on the managers of underaged talents of Akatoki for quite some time.
Sho ranted and raved at the unjustness of it all. He was six months older than that stupid girl. How was it that she wasn't being taken back with him? That was when his mother had dropped a little bit of reality on his head, which is something she felt she should have done long ago. She informed him that she was not Kyoko's mother and that Saena had given her full permission with pride. Kyoko was considered an adult now because she was emancipated and she could do as she saw fit with her life. Kyoko was more mature than he was and his mother didn't see her following him around Tokyo, harassing him or, doing any of the things he had done. Kyoko didn't sleep with strangers to advance her career and she most certainly didn't shame her family name with her behavior. He however, did. She told him and under no uncertain terms, that was the reason he would not be returning to Tokyo until, no sooner than the day after his 20th birthday, almost three years hence.
