Just a warning I am Dyslexic so my stories will not be perfect but I now have one Beta reader to help me along the way :D
Thank you so much to Roshelle Diall for offering to work with me :D
Hello my sweeties :)
Well my dears thank you so very much
In 24 hours I received so many reviews, PM's and even 3 phone calls
telling me they would love this story to continue :)
Truth is I've got loads more I can do with this story and
loads more to tell you and say but I was just
feeling a little worried when some one said to me
I need to learn when to stop.
So I propose that I will just keep going now until someone
tells me to stop
or you all lose interest and stop asking for more :D
that way I don't feel I'm boring you
and you have the say in how far this story goes :)
OH and why I remember
ShadowHawk
Crazygeekweirdo
My friend has decided you are either my best friends or my worst enemies
as its lucky not many people read reviews or
they would be learning future chapters through you XD
If either of you want to chat at some point PM me
that goes for everyone :D
Enjoy..

The room was silent all but for the child's shallow breathing in slumber. Kyoko lay her head resting on Kuon's shoulder as they both watched him silently. He had been moved to a private room to stay overnight and be monitored just to be sure he didn't have a relapse.
"Mom was telling me about all the words he can say now. She was so pleased when she was telling me about him calling her 'Duie', she said it was really sweet." Kyoko smiled and nodded.
"Yeah he's been doing really well with his words. I think he knows most people's names now and tries to say them. Though I do admit he has taken to calling Kanae, Moko. Luckily, she doesn't seem to mind too much." she smiled and Kuon grinned at her.
"He's a real little star." she nodded and a sad smile passed her lips as tears started to pour from her eyes.
"Kyoko what's wrong?" Kuon asked, grabbing her in his arms fully as she sobbed against his chest.
"He missed you so much, he asked for you all the time. On boy's night, even though both dads were there and others came he would get really fussy and start crying for you. I hate myself for it. I let him cry or I distracted him or I would just leave him with whoever was there at the time. I was so bitter and twisted Kuon I was just like her." she stopped as she looked up at him with tear-filled eyes.
He wiped them from her face as she continued, "As long as he did not mention Dada things were good, but I couldn't stand it when he cried for you. Each time it felt like my heart was bleeding, like I was drawing the pain out of me and I hated myself. I hated the me I had become, the me without you. I never want to be that person ever again Kuon. I never want to lock away my heart again as I'm afraid next time it won't only hurt us but Toru also." Kuon held her tightly as she cried, shushing her words. They hurt him too much and he didn't want to hear any more.
"You know I thought about it a lot Kyoko. What would have happened if I had told you sooner? What would've happened if I had asked you that day?...If I would've told you the day you dropped your stone and I found it at LME, what would have happened? I think you would've hated me even more. I say that because you hated me enough back then as it was. Saying that, maybe hate would've been better for both of us rather than being in love. Maybe the pain wouldn't have been so strong." there were tears in Kuon's eyes too. He cried silently while she wiped away his tears which made him smile slightly.
"That's something I will always remember about Sho." Kuon's face stiffened at the name, but Kyoko smoothed his pride with a gentle hand against his cheek.
"Don't look like that Kuon. I am now and always will be yours, but this is advice I think is good to share." he nodded taking her fingers and kissing them while she continued.
"When he first asked me to come to Tokyo with him, at first I tried to stop him from leaving. I said maybe he could wait a bit longer, talk to his family again and the words he said will always stick with me." she paused thinking of the memory. "He said that sometimes you can talk things to death and it would make a blind bit of difference. Waiting for the right time may mean you never get to say what needs to be said so sometimes you just have to take the plunge and hope for the best. You held back for so long with your feelings and with the truth searching for this so called right time. Kuon I may not be proud of my own actions but I'm glad you told me rather than waiting any longer for the right time." she wasn't sure if what she was trying to get across was worded right but she hope he could understand what she was trying to say.
"I missed you so much these last weeks Kyoko. You and Toru. I'm just glad I don't have to pretend I'm happy when I'm not anymore, though I think the gossip magazines will be pretty annoyed with me. Maybe Lory was right. I am boring and I need to give them something to talk about..." his words drifted off as he thought about it until Kyoko got his attention. She was smiling again.
"So what are you going to do to make them happy again?" she said smiling as she looked up at him.
Then she felt her knees go weak as she was now looking into the face of The Emperor of the Night who only grinned back at her.
"Maybe something daring." he said as he nibbled her ear gently. She jumped a mile and he burst out laughing at her.
"I was joking Kyoko, I would never ask you anything like that just for my reputation's sake. Not until you're ready anyway." he gathered her up in his arms and pulled her over onto his lap
"Though I wouldn't say no to a kiss." he said with a small smile as she blushed scarlet.
Though of course after all that time apart all she wanted to do was to kiss him, touch him and make up for all the time they had missed.
The passion in her kiss startled Kuon at first, but after a few seconds he matched her kiss with his own, the pent up need and desire overwhelmed them both as they clung to each other. Kyoko's hands travelled over his smooth muscled chest as she longed to feel what was currently being covered by his shirt. She slowly turned her body so she was facing him manoeuvring her leg so she straddled his as she sat on his thighs. His hands travelled down her back and she shivered in delight. Her skin felt like ice but at the same time it sent fire through her system.
Their hands were wandering, their lips never leaving each other except when the need to breathe became too much. For a few moments they would part only to crash together once more. In one move, Natsu's blazer was removed and each was unbuttoning the other's shirt. As Toru stirred in his sleep, Kyoko snapped out of her lust driven state as she stood abruptly and rushed to the bedside, stroking his head softly as she began to sing to him softly.
God that was close.
Kuon thought as he listened to her beautiful voice.
"Hush a bye don't you cry, go to sleep my little baby. When you wake you shall have, all the pretty little horses."
She sang and Toru's sleep resumed. As she smiled at him, Kuon smiled at both if them. He had promised never to let her go again and that was a promise he had no plans to ever break.
October 29th
Kyoko looked at the man sitting opposite her, holding Toru playing with his acoustic guitar. He was smiling and Toru was smiling back as he sang a silly little children's rhyme, the woman next to Kyoko just shook her head amazed.
"I never even imagined he would be good with children." Shoko remarked as Kyoko signed the contract for the PV. Sho and Toru had become fast friends. Kyoko laughed.
"He will be fine until he cries. Then he will just freeze up and look like he's a deer caught in headlights." not 5 minutes later her prediction turned out to be true as Toru got his finger stuck under the guitar string and started to cry.
Shoko wanted to laugh at the look on Sho's face as he sat spinning his head around looking for Kyoko, completely unsure of what to do. With his eyes as big a plates, Kyoko was there in seconds freeing the finger and soothing the crying child all in one brisk moment. Sho regained their calm as he looked on lovingly, but shook his head Shoko had already realised.
He won't chase Kyoko any more. He couldn't cope with being number two to anyone, he was too selfish yet, he needed to grow up just like Kyoko has.
She watched the young woman. She looked like a mother, she had grown so much since their first meeting. Shoko knew with the right help she would become a phenomenon and who better to do that than Takarada Lory, her new father.
"So what's this new song about and what will my role be?" Kyoko asked as Toru settled again. He wriggled to get down and like any child went straight back to what he had been playing with whether it had hurt him or not.
"You will find out on the day you arrive." Sho answered as he let Toru play with the guitar again, this time making sure to hold the neck away from his small fingers.
"Why on the day? Wouldn't it be easier if I have an idea so I can get my character straight in my head?" she argued as Sho smiled.
"Oh don't worry about that. Just come as yourself and, come to think of it, bring Toru." now she was really confused.
"Bring Toru? I'm a professional Sho! I cannot just carry my child with me to work! He wouldn't even be here now if I had not been called to come here at the last second." she said a little annoyed he would think her that type of person.
"No you misunderstand me, Kyoko. I meant bring him and he can be in the PV too." Now she was entirely confused. What type of song would need Toru?
"Sho unless you give me some kind of idea what we are going to be doing, I will remove myself from the contract this instant. I'm sure my father would have no problem assisting me with legally doing so." that stopped Sho short as he looked at her solemnly.
"The song is about the passage of time so I was just thinking we could have children take part too." this did kind of make ,so Kyoko accepted his answer.
"I will see what my schedule is. If I am able to bring Toru with me but still perform my later duties then we will be here." her phone started ringing unexpectedly and instantly Toru turned and was crawling over to her.
"Dada bbbbee, dada beeebbee." Kyoko excused herself, picking up Toru as she answered the phone.
"Hello?" she hadn't looked at the ID but there was only one person who would be calling her and Toru knew who too.
"Dada. Dada." he said, trying to grab the phone from her hands as she shut the door behind her.
"Hello, Kyoko. Have you finished yet?" she smiled.
"Almost. Shoko and Sho have popped over with the contract for the PV so I've just finished reading it and signing it." she didn't have to be next to him to know he was angry.
"Ren, please. Sho helped us out of the situation we were in and I agreed to do this." she heard him take a deep breath.
"I will never forgive that man for what he did to you, but maybe you are just more professional than me. if he touches you in any way I will not hold back is that understood?" she smiled at his possessiveness, remembering the time in the hotel room where Cain no Kuon had got angry thinking it was Sho calling. It made sense now, it was jealousy.
"Unlike you, I doubt Sho or anyone for that matter, would want a woman tied to a child that is not there own." Ren contemplated this.
"Then they're stupid. Toru only makes me want you more." she smiled at his pouting words.
One second he doesn't want another man near her, the next he was calling them stupid for not wanting her. What was she going to do with him?
"I'll be finished in 5 minutes. Did you need me for something?" she could almost feel his mood change as he answered.
"I wanted to take you and Toru out for dinner. Can I pick you up in 5 minutes? I got the afternoon off as the shoot has been cancelled." she smiled.
"Sure where shall we meet you? Oh but I will need to pop up and tell Dad first." she remembered as she smiled. It was nice having someone that worried if she wasn't there for meals.
"Fine. Then I will met you there. I needed to speak to the Boss anyway so take your time."
"DADA!" Toru shouted, not happy about being ignored. Ren chuckled.
"Let me speak to the little monster." she put the phone against Toru's ear and heard Ren speaking. Toru giggled.
"Mama, briii briii." he said, mimicking the phone as he grabbed for it from her hands. She deftly shifted his weight and moved the phone in one go.
"Well if I want to get to you today I better get this sorted out, so I will see you in a little while OK?" she smiled as Toru again tried to grab the phone. Tickling him with her hand, he giggled.
"I love you, Kyoko." she could never understand how he could say such embarrassing things so easily. She looked around checking to see if she was still alone.
"I love you too. See you in a bit." she put down the phone and turned back to the door only to be confronted with Sho
"Sho how long have you been there?" she asked, stunned as he frowned at her.
"It's him, isn't it?" he said slowly as he looked at her, not moving, just staring at her.
"Does he expect you to even with your circumstances?" Kyoko was shocked by this question.
"I don't see why it matters to you Sho?" she answered, trying to walk back through the door but he stopped her.
"Because Kyoko you have just found something that makes you really happy. I don't want to see you give it up for any man, not even for me." her breath caught in her throat. He wasn't prying, he was worried about her.
"What on Earth, Sho? You almost make it sound like you care." she said, trying to break the tension by making him angry with her. But it didn't happen he just took a deep breath and looked at her straight in her eyes. He was being serious.
"I was wrong. I hurt you before and later on I paid the price when I realised what I lost Kyoko. Now you are at a place I cannot go, not just yet anyway. But if he is a man that can be there to look after you, to protect not just you but Toru too then I can accept that. I just don't want to see you hurt." Kyoko and Shoko who had stood up when she sensed there may be trouble both stopped.
Is this really Sho? They haven't swapped him with a mind mutated clone have they?
Kyoko pondered as she looked at him slowly. He was really being serious.
"He accepts everything I am and everything I have." Sho just nodded then walked back into the room. Picking up his guitar he looked at Shoko who still stood there bemused.
"We had better go. She has places to be." with that he walked out of the room, patting Toru on the head on the way past and walked onward down the corridor.
"Maybe I should get him to do a drug test." Shoko pondered out loud and Kyoko laughed.
"For once I think he was completely serious. I've only seen that look in his eyes once before." Shoko looked at her.
"When was that?" she asked watching the young woman and the baby lying on her shoulder quietly.
"When he asked me to go to Tokyo with him." she replied with a smile that said her mind was miles away in memories.
Shoko took her leave. When she arrived at the car she pretended not to notice but when they were close to the agency, she pulled into an empty parking space and turned to the young man. Taking him in her arms, she held him as he cried.
"You did the right thing, Sho." she said quietly as he nodded.
"Yeah I know, but at least now I know exactly what she meant about heartbreak. It really does hurt more than a kick in the shin."
