A/N: You may not like this one, but it's just a little AU idea, because not all future Mother's In Law can be candy sweet.

Julie's Mistake

"Why?!" He hissed at the sobbing blonde woman in the room. "Why did you let this happen?" He demanded.

"I... I just wanted you to stay here with us. I didn't think she would do that. I didn't know she would take it so hard, Kuon. I didn't know she was serious about you." She plead with him.

"Well, she was. Now your little games have hurt her, broken my Kyoko. Because of you, she's laying in this bed without me knowing when or, if she's going to wake up! Are you happy now? Yes... I'll be staying here but only until she wakes up, then we're leaving. You were worried about me not staying here because of her? Well guess what? I'm leaving because of you. I don't want to be anywhere near someone that is willing to hurt her in any way." He told her.

"Kuon..." She sobbed. "I didn't know she would do this! Please... I didn't mean to hurt her like that."

"You knew what she had been through, with that singer, with her own mother and you still set Miranda on her. You introduced her to that lying, conniving little selfish, cheating bitch and told her that I was still in love with her. What did you think was going to happen? She doesn't have anyone else in this world and you did that to her." He leaned into her with tears in his eyes. "If she doesn't make it out of this... Expect me to follow her. I don't want to be in a world that doesn't have her in it. Now get out..." He sat roughly on the chair next to Kyoko's hospital bed and took her hand. "Kyoko... Baby, please wake up. She lied to you. Please wake up."

Julie left the room and collapsed to her knees outside of the hospital room door. "I'm so sorry, Kuon. I only wanted you to stay here."

"What did you do?" Kuu's angry voice lilted to her ears.

She looked up at him with wide fearful eyes. "Kuu... She would have kept him away from us. He would have stayed in Japan. Please, I didn't mean for her to do that."

Kuu held up his hand. "Well now that you've gotten your way this time and she's out of the way, is he going to stay?"

"No..." She sobbed. "He hates me now."

"Good... He has every right to after what you've done to him," He opened the door to enter the room and turned to her. "and you can add me to that list. You aren't the woman that I married. The woman that I married wouldn't hurt others to get her way. When she wakes up... I'm going with them." He entered the room and shut the door, leaving the sobbing, selfish woman to cry alone.

Golden eyes fluttered open and noticed two familiar men in the room. The moment she saw the young one sitting next to her hospital bed, she closed her eyes in anguish and rolled to her side away from him, then let the tears fall freely.

"Kyoko..." He whispered with relief seeping into his tone as the other male slept. "Kyoko, please look at me."

"Why didn't you just let me die? Go back to the one you love, Kuon. I understand. I want you to be happy." She whispered in tears as her heart further crumbled.

"I can't Kyoko... You're the one I love. She lied to you. Both of them lied to you." He gently turned her to look at him. "Please look at me Kyoko." He begged as he gently caressed the bandages on her wrists.

She turned to look at him as he requested.

"They both lied to you. I love you and only you. I've never loved anyone else and I refuse to allow anyone to ever come between us again, not even family. If they want to separate us... They aren't family, they are enemies." He told her with conviction then pulled her tightly into his arms.

Never once did she believe that she was doing something wrong. That girl would break up her family. She would make Kuon follow her and live far away in Japan, after all Kuu had done the same for her when she asked him. He dropped everything and cut all ties to Japan when they married so that she could be near her family. Why wouldn't Kyoko do the same? Why wouldn't Kuon, who was so much like Kuu, do the same? Didn't all men marry women like their mother's? Wouldn't that mean that Kyoko would throw tantrums, pout and demand that they live in Japan or, she would leave him, just like Julie had threatened Kuu in the early years before Kuon? Yes... He would eventually see the light and come back to her. She was his mother after all. He wouldn't possibly stay away for that home-wrecker that seemed to ensnare her son and husband. They would eventually see the light and she would be ready for them when they did. She would smugly tell them "I told you so." and then begrudgingly forgive them and everything would finally fall into place, then she would find Kuon a proper wife. One that she approved of that was close to home.

Months went by and soon a large envelope made its way to her office. "Hmm, The Viride Law Offices, Tokyo Japan... I wonder what this is?" She turned it over in her hands. "The office of Saena Mogami, ESQ." Julie opened the envelope to find, to her horror a thick document entitled Divorce Decree. She dropped the document and its envelope on the floor and broke into tears. "What happened?"

She needed to find out what was going on, find out why things weren't working out the way they were supposed to. She picked up the phone and called her manager. "Joseph! I need to go to Japan." She demanded and with that declaration she was on her way.

She stared on in horror at the results of her actions and the many, many months of her failing to apologize to her family for trying to destroy the woman that they had come to love as their own. She watched in the quiet little, out of the way corner of the restaurant as her soon to be ex-husband sat uncomfortably close to the dark haired stoic woman, smiling like a love-struck idiot and as her son canoodled with the young woman she believed had ruined her life. She watched as the man that had kidnapped her son, entered dramatically and greeted them and her heart was ripped from her body when she heard him greet them.

"Congratulations to the happy new couple, Kuon and Kyoko Hizuri and I would also like to extend my congratulations to the future Kuu and Saena Hizuri. Kuu, I would like to say I am very sorry about..." He started and was cut off by Kuu.

"Boss... I would appreciate it if you didn't mention that particular person in my presence. That part of my life is in the past. The woman next to me, is my future." She heard him declare.

"Has she signed the Divorce papers yet?" Lory asked.

"No... But there are other ways. I don't need her permission to get away from that toxic, selfish, manipulative woman." He smiled gently at the woman next to him. "I would rather not talk about that right now though. Were here to celebrate before our children leave for their Honeymoon." He told him as he grabbed the bottle of champagne and popped the cork before pouring.

"Here, here!" Lory cheered. "To the happy couples!"

She had done it. She had finally made her soon to be ex-husband sick of her childish behavior and pushed him past his limit. She never dreamed that this would happen in her lifetime. Had she known the end result, she would have never forced him to leave Kyoto for her when they were young. But what is done, cannot be undone.
