The Fallen Women
Ch. 28
Demonic
Julie smiled as she watched Kyoko sip gently from her golden cup. The entire question she wanted to ask kept popping into her; if only she could disentangle herself from the costume department ladies for more than a minute .Which seem likely a highly unlikely disposition at the current moment.
Sighing she let her eyes wander around the room till they came upon her son, who was walking away from Yashiro-san and toward her by the looks of things.
Indeed Before she could even finish that observation he was stood before her.
"Julie, I was hoping to have a word with you "his eyes surveyed the crowd behind them "in private, about my jacket for the next scene"
Julie putting up on the not so subtle hint her son was laying down "of course, shall we head to your fitting room that way you show me whatever the problem is."
"yes that sound perfectly fine" Ren moved and nodded to the ladies who stood behind them." If you ladies don't mind, of course "
"That fine "was the chorus of replies.
The pair quickly walked away from the crowd. Ren guided her along the hallway before opening his door for them and shutting it firmly behind.
"Did you tell dad yet" he asked as he turned to look at her.
"No, I haven't had the time."
"Oh, would you consider not telling him till tomorrow night?" he asked rather sheepishly.
"That depends on why and what you'll tell me to prolong my silent" Julies eye glinted evilly.
"It just I'm planning a big date for tomorrow night and well you know Dad."
"Indeed I do, alright I'll hold my peace. So you're dating huh even if it's clearly not exclusively. I mean if the pictures in the paper this morning are anything to go by. That still a big step son, I'll sure you'll win her"
Ren aura grows darker at the thought of Kyoko going on dates with other men flashed across his mind.
"No we are going to be exclusive, that date with Lin was just a misunderstanding. Which I'm in the process of making clear to her and hopeful the world when the time right."
Julie felt pride blossom in her chest. Her son had turned into a healthy, happy, smart and loving man. There had been a time when she had truly worried he would never become any of those things and even she could admit (to herself only) that Lory kidnapping her son had been for the best.
"I see would you like any help with that."
Ren reached over and pulled her into a warm hug "No thanks mum, I think I've got this one covered."
"Just so you know Kuon, I couldn't be more proud of you .Than I am right now"
Ren blushed," I've come a long way since California but I'm finally feeling like everything falling into place. Even if at times I'm a boring man, like Lory and Yashiro believe"
"Yes that true, But I love you Kuon even when you're the straight laced boring Tsuruga-san"
Ren laughed "I'm not so straight laced or boring anymore mum .I'll pretty sure Kyoko has destroyed all myself control, I wanted to murder Lin when Kyoko first told about their date, It was own fault really I should have been clearer from the start. It's just that I at times still don't understand how she doesn't know I'm completely head over heels in love with her."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kyoko listened as the conversation moved from one topic to the next flowing like an ever moving river from the sets to the upcoming scene and then moving onto things like the latest music and all the latest gossip. Kyoko briefly wondered what Ren was talking to Julie about, she had seen them walk from the room earlier and they still hadn't returned.
"Everyone breaks over if you could all go and get ready."
Shingai walked up to Kyoko "You'll need to be in the Red dress for the next scene"
"Hai sir, I'll go get changed."
Kyoko was walking down the empty hallway toward her dressing room when she saw Ren's door, she moved closer to it and gentle turned the handle and started opening the door. She stopped when she heard Julies voice. Not wanting to interrupt but unwilling to move away
"Indeed I do, alright I'll hold my peace. So you're dating huh even if it's clearly not exclusively. I mean if the pictures in the paper this morning are anything to go by. That still a big step son, I'll sure you'll win her"
Kyoko heart beat stopped as the word son hit her, still she shook it off maybe she meant it in that American way like as in a dear young person who's like a son.
"No we are going to be exclusive, that date with Lin was just a misunderstanding. Which I'm in the process of making clear to her and hopeful the world when the time right."
Kyoko smiled hearing him say that to another person made happiness blossom inside her for surely he would tell other that if it wasn't true. Kyoko nodded to herself and was about to turn and leave when Ren spook again freezing her to the spot "No thanks mum, I think I've got this one covered."
"Just so you know Kuon, I couldn't be more proud of you .Than I am right now"
Kyoko felt herself being sucked into a vortex "No thank Mum, Mum, Son .Ren is Julie son, Ren is Julie and Kuu son, that meant that Ren wasn't Ren at all.
" I've come a long way since California but I'm finally feeling like everything falling into place. Even if at times I'm a boring man, like Lory and Yashiro believe"
"Yes that true, But I love you Kuon even when you're the straight laced boring Tsuruga-san"
Ren was Kuon and Kuon used to disappear in Kyoto .Kuon had blonde hair, Kuon was Corn .Kyoko had accepted that. But now this Kyoko wasn't sure if she could handle Ren being Corn, images of all the times she talked to him about Corn flashed across her mind and all the things she told Corn .what a complete fool she must have looked like and he had known all along.
Kyoko felt like her world was falling to pieces and found her running as fast as she could to her changing room. Where she promptly slide onto the floor, before curling herself into a ball.
Her demons circled around her whispering to each other plotting their vengeance against the evil one who was responsible for their current state of near extinction.
