Wednesday 31stJuly
The waves lapped lightly at her toes as she slowly lowered Toru down to feel the water. He squirmed and giggled as the water played with his toes. It was beautiful, they had been here 3 days already on her dad's private island. No press could find them here, no more stressing over how much trouble she was causing everyone. She had hated every second of the last week and had wanted to crawl under a rock and hide but every time her friends would pick her back up again and would tell her it wasn't her fault.
God even Sho was sensible about it
She thought as she remembered watching him reading the letter from Saena. He had looked at Kyoko then at Toru in her arms and agreed immediately to help her out for the price of being in his next PV. Of course she agreed instantly since her new family meant more to her now than her petty squabbles with him. She was actually very happy when Sho gave Toru the cookie he had brought him.
After the Heel siblings role she had worried about the conversation they had in the car park but he seemed to be acting more grown up all of a sudden. Still in her mind that was a good thing. She couldn't believe Mimori could do such a thing. What had she ever done to her?
This wasn't the time to think about these things though. As she moved a little way up the beach and sat Toru down on the sand she started to play with him, building a sandcastle with their hands. Toru loved the sand. The first day he had tried eating it which had scared her but a laughing Lory said it wouldn't hurt him as long as he did not eat too much and that he was learning so it was good for him.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket, she pulled it out and smiled at the message:
'Hello Kyoko-san,
I hope you and Toru are OK
and I hope the little monster is enjoying the beach.
Missing you both
and can't believe we are missing our boys night!
Have a great time,
get some rest.
Ren
She read the message twice; once to herself and then out loud to Toru who was patting the sand with exuberance, sending it flying all over the place. She paused slightly at the 'Missing you both' and the part about 'missing boys night.' She smiled to herself; every Thursday since Toru had come to live with them Ren would come over for a few hours for what he called a boys night. For that night, she could do whatever she wanted. A lot of the time other boys, as Ren had put it, would come. Yashiro, Lory and even Kijima had visited during the last week
"To meet the President's love child." Kijima had joked, but before leaving he had hugged Kyoko tight, saying he would help in anyway he could to get their names cleared. He knew she was more than just a pretty face.
She took a picture of Toru playing in the sand and attached it to her message as Maria had taught her
Hello Ren-san,
Me and Toru are fine, thank you.
He really does love the beach
as he woke up early today.
I think Toru is missing you and I know
he will miss his boys night!
I hope you are well and I've not caused you
too much trouble.
We will see you very soon
Kyoko and Toru xxx
She looked the message over again and sent it with the picture. She sat and watched as Toru started to crawl across the sand then stood and followed him as he explored. She had been reading some books Okami-san had bought her and it talked about the importance of supervised self learning so she let him roam around, only stopping him if he had tried to put something small in his mouth.
He crawled over to the sun loungers and to her amazement pulled himself up to stand beside it. Kyoko clapped and praised him as he toppled back over onto his bum. He giggled and tried again. This time she videoed him as he pulled himself up and smiled at the camera. She praised him and stopped filming.

Ren's phone beeped. He grabbed it eagerly as he read her reply, his heart sank a little.
Only Toru misses me?
He thought to himself as he sat and tried to think up a good reply, but it shocked him 20 minutes later after his shower when he got another message. Running to grab his phone, he found a new message from Kyoko and smiled
A special smile just for you.
Uncle Ren look what I can do!
Under the message was a video, opening it up he watched as Toru stood up and smiled at the camera.
Oh wow you clever boy.
His heart felt heavy. He wanted to be there with them, to see Toru standing up for himself.
When Yashiro jumped into the car that morning he could sense instantly that something was bothering his friend.
"What's up?" he asked after the formal greeting. Ren looked over at him.
"Nothing. Why do you ask?" re replied, with a fake smile plastered on his face.
"Now I know there is something up. Are Kyoko and Toru OK? They haven't been found, have they?" Ren shook his head and fished his phone out of his pocket.
"No they're fine. I messaged Kyoko this morning. Take a look at the video and picture she sent me of Toru. He looks like he's having a great time." Ren opened up the picture message first and smiled at Toru happily tossing sand around then he looked watched the video and grinned broadly.
"He really is growing up fast isn't he?" Yashiro commented as he handed Ren's phone back and removed the glove he wore when touching anything electrical. He watched Ren fall into gloom again as he drove towards LME.
He's really missing them, the big softy.
Yashiro flipped to tomorrow's schedule in his diary,
Hmm I wonder?

Kyoko showed Maria and Lory the video of Toru over breakfast. Maria couldn't help but jump up and hug her little brother telling him how clever he was. Lory said he would make sure the camcorder was fully charged so they could get some nice videos of him again today. Kyoko was amazed he still had any disks left to record on. Every time she saw him he was recording Toru, even now as Kyoko was feeding him his rice porridge Lory had the camcorder on him. Toru giggled and gurgled, happily playing with the rice porridge more than eating it, sticking his tongue out as Kyoko tried to put the spoon in his mouth so it would slosh everywhere.
She had gotten better at this. The first time she had fed him the mess was everywhere, the housekeeper had been in fits of giggles for ages afterwards. She showed her the best way for weaning Toru and Kyoko was very grateful. As it was a small island, there wasn't much to do but Lory had said if they wanted they could go out on the boat today. Maria had taken this news with much enthusiasm, so after breakfast they packed a lunch and boarded the boat. It was a pleasant journey. The boat as with everything Lory owned was extravagant, having a large deck at the back with a living room below the cockpit and bedrooms and a toilet below the deck. Kyoko hated to think how much it was worth but as with everything with her new dad she had decided from day one not to ask.
Lory's phone beeped and he looked down at the message and then smiled broadly as he replied, watching his two favourite girls and his favourite little boy as Kyoko and Maria slowly holding Toru's hands walked him around the deck.
I really do think that's a splendid idea.
He sent another message before safely storing his phone in his pocket and grinning wolfishly to himself as he hummed an old love song.

"OK Ren, hop in." Ren looked at Yashiro with complete and utter confusion.
"What are we doing, Yashiro-san?" he asked, looking back at his manager and friend.
"They are going to take you to your next appointment. It's a bit out of the way so I asked Lory for special permission to use private transport." he answered, unperturbed.
"So where are we going then?" Ren asked, looking a little suspicious.
Why was he using this as private transport?
But Yashiro gave nothing away as he answered slowly,
"You better hurry Ren or you will be late. Now stop asking silly questions and GO!" he pushed Ren forwards and smiled as he waved his friend off.
You enjoy yourself, you big lovestruck fool.
He thought as he watched them go out of sight.

They had a wonderful day. They had stopped at another little island for dinner, eating lunch on the boat before doing a bit of swimming. Toru had been floating around in his little dino dingy having the time of his life, splashing Lory as he pretended to fall over every time the splashing child got him wet. Kyoko loved every minute she spent with her little family, but as the day wore on she found herself returning to look at Ren's message. She didn't know why but she felt rather lonely without being able to see him. She really enjoyed boys night, sometimes she had gone to see Moko or spent time on her work. Other times she had just loved to cook in her small kitchen and watch as Ren and Toru played.
I love watching them together.
She thought as she looked over at Maria with Toru wrapped securely in her arms as they slept on the daybed in the cabin. She too closed her eyes and lulled by the waves and the noise of the ocean drifted off to sleep.

Now Ren knew why Yashiro had insisted he get inside and he promised he would speak to Lory on behalf of his friend and manager to get him a raise even if it came from his own pocket.
They stepped out onto the jetty, Lory passing Toru across to Kyoko before he helped Maria across.
Ren couldn't keep his eyes off of Kyoko. She was in a plain white sundress with a large brimmed white sun hat, the slight breeze rippled the light material as he slowly made his way down towards them, she looked stunning. Toru was dressed in a simple red t-shirt with the slogan 'I love my Granddad' on it and little blue shorts with brown sandals.
It was Toru that noticed him first as he bounced in Kyoko's arms babbling.
"Da da da da... Dada." she had never heard him say this before so she looked around to see the tall muscular figure with dark hair and dark eyes. He was wearing a loose cotton shirt with only 4 buttons fastened up and some black shorts. Kyoko was stunned as Maria cried out, 'Ren-sama!' and raced to meet him on the jetty. Kyoko's heart leapt at the sight of him, beating so fast and so hard she thought there was no way thy others couldn't hear it. As Toru cried out again,
"Da da da. Dada." Ren approached them with Maria in one arm.
"Hello, little monster." he said reaching his free arm out for Toru, who if he could would've jumped across the distance to snuggle into Ren's chest as he hugged him. Kyoko was still standing there dumbfounded when Ren decided he would break the silence.
"Well I couldn't miss boys night now could I?" he had received a message from Yashiro after landing to say he had the next 2 days off and to have fun. Kyoko just gave him a true, deep smile.
"Of course you couldn't." she said, smiling even brighter.
"Did he just call Ren-sama Dada?" Maria asked curiously as Ren and Kyoko realised he had indeed.
"I never taught him that." Ren said frowning and he knew Kyoko wouldn't have
"Maybe its just something he associates with you." Kyoko added confused. Unbeknownst to both of them using a photo of Ren Lory had been teaching Toru to call Ren dada and even now Lory secretly recorded every moment as he felt tears in his eyes. He watched as Kyoko's eyes scanned all of Ren for the third time.
Just grab him like you want to, my girl.
He wanted to shout, but he knew she wouldn't. Not just yet anyway. But he could see it clearly, her defences were crumbling.
