Chapter 4
The Immortal Butterfly
"You ready?" Ren kneeling holing his wife's knees and giving her a soft kiss.
"I'm excited and nervous, but I am glad to be back." She said, she had make up on and dressed for the scenes.
"You'll be alright." Ren chuckled, "I know you better than anyone." Her husband is aware she never lost her touch since all those years she has been assisting him in practicing his lines by playing the other roles. "This would be just a piece of cake for you."
Ren and Kyoko are currently on the set of his new movie, it is supposed to be jam packed with action and adventure. With the director hearing that Kyoko is open on the idea of acting again, the writer of the said movie has been inspired of adding some spice to the full action and adventure piece, especially most fans are begging that Kyoko to be added to it.
The make-up and wardrobe did not have any issues when it comes to making the couple look younger because they looked like a pair of vampires that do not age since they still look young despite having a teen child already. "Guys, director Shiba said you're on by fifteen." The producer entered with her clip board, and witnessing the couple having a comforting moment she giggled leaving.
Ren dressed in all black combat except his top was a suit while Kyoko on her fitting stretchable dress with her thigh holster for her tiny gun prop, Ren on the other hand is rigged, they came out holding hand from the trailer and everyone turned their head to see how perfect they are to each other, Kyoko put her game face on looking stunning on her dress and cold look, Ren did the same as he glared at every men around them since his character is a stone cold agent.
"Is camera two ready?" Shiba called in excitement since she always wanted to see the couple together in a scene again, and when the crew gave her clear signal, "We're on three, two, one! Action!"
Loud gun fires can be heard as the armed man pulled the sexy woman in short dress, they were sweating as they run through the hotel hallway and into an empty room trying to avoid the CCTV, once they entered, "You do realize that you helping me is going to get you into a lot of trouble?" She smirked.
"I am aware." He flatly said, "But I chose to do it, but promise me do not get yourself involve to this anymore." Grabbing her jaw and kissed her roughly and biting each other's lips. When they heard loud shouts, "Promise me." He growled again, instead of responding him with another smirk, she gave a soft smile and one last kiss.
"I promise and goodbye Suzu-kun" she said and disappeared after she went through the window, it was the twelfth floor and no one will able to know that she went out from the window, immediately Agent Suzuki went out from the room and made sure to casually walk in to another floor looking like nothing happened and made his exit from the fire entrance and called in to his team that he lost her and he is on the bottom floor.
"AND CUT!" The lady director's eyes sparkled after seeing the couple in action and without any mistakes and their kiss was so hot that most of the staff were all red.
Kyoko re-appeared and Ren wrapped his arms around her, the female producers were all squealing at how sweet they are off camera, "Okay guys good job, and wow, that was hot!" She fanned herself, "Let's get ready for the other scene!" She called and they transferred to another room that is located inside the hotel, Kyoko blushed knowing that her partner and co-star is her husband and seeing a bed where they are going to lay together made her thing of the usual things they do naughtily, and especially their next scene is where she would be in a body suit since she would be making love to Ren.
The scene went quite well, "What was that?" The producer was stunned as they went off script and started to improvise, meanwhile the couple turned their heads since they are aware that it was their personal feelings at that time and poor Ren got turned on, good thing he was able to hide it.
It didn't take a full day for them to shoot the flashback scenes, and once Kyoko is free for the rest of the day, Ren took her home and they called it a day since Ren for the past years after their son turned eight or nine, he asked for less roles or offer since he wanted to spend time with his family, now he would be on a job half a day or depending on the schedule he had for the roles he was needed.
Spending the day together, they were at the kitchen talking while Yashiro is out by the pool relaxing on his favorite hammock, the couple gave him some break since the teen wasn't around to give him any heart attacks. "So how was the taping?" Asked by Kuu as he arrives from LME with his meeting with Lory.
"Fun!" Kyoko's spark was back and Kuu was delighted to see his daughter-in-law in that zone of happiness again.
"What you got there, dad?" Ren saw him carry a huge box.
"Oh, you mom told me to get this home fast since this is for Aki-chan~" He hummed opening it and showing a plain white, gray and black shirts with dictionary style prints with their son's silly English words like 'Num-Num' with its meaning on it. Kyoko laughed at it.
One of her favorite is 'Thank you, mama' where it was meant for 'When your mom give you a plate full of food, say thank you to her.' Ren had to get it and wear it and ask Kyoko for pictures. For the rest of the afternoon, they were in the kitchen uploading some silly pictures with captions, Yashiro missing out the action because he is giving his poor heart some break after his favorite nephew is not around yet.
With a loud bang of their gate and bike noises, "Tadaima!" came to greet them.
For dinner Kyoko made as usual mountain of dishes for her son and father-in-law. And before sleeping Kyoko checked her social media only to see that the platform was flooded with behind the scenes shots of her and Ren being sweet. Amused at the reaction commented by their fans.
The next day, Ren is about to shoot his run away scene where some of the streets were blocked off for car chases, and they would straight to the studio to shoot the helicopter scene where Ren need to jump on it and escape. Throughout the scenes Kyoko was on standby and sitting beside the lady director and while on break, "My favorite nephew is good friends with your baby big boy~" The Shiba told Kyoko until she remembered that her son had a classmate named Tatsuya Shiba.
"Tatsuya-kun?" Kyoko asked and the woman nodded.
"He speaks highly of you, thank you for being good to him, he grew up without a mother and he is cold as an ice mountain." she sighed, "Glad he is friends with your bubbly son, he's a good influence."
"I am honored that my boy is going good to him, and he is always welcome to our home you know." Instantly they became close after some few exchanges. But since Kyoko's scenes were supposed to be shot to beach resort, and they are supposed to travel a bit far. For the next two weeks, they were scheduled to go to that location.
"Kyoko-chan, you're up!" called by one of the crew and she went for make up to have a retouch. The area is not as beautiful as the island of Guam but it is pretty enough, there was huge mansion with a wide swimming pool since it is a villa and Kyoko would own it for the scene.
Ren on standby riding the helicopter with few other extras roaming the said villa as guards and servants. "We're going to roll on three, two, one! Scene XX take three!" and with the snap of the clip Kyoko snapped back to her character.
"How was the ride?" She asked with a smirk. Suzuki stepping out the aircraft was shocked to see the gorgeous woman in her sexy sleeveless summer dress and shades, "Cat got your tongue?"
"Chitose-san, why help me?" He asked.
"I had a debt, and I need to pay for it. I hope we are now even? And as for your other plans on escaping, I'm going to help you too since your organization had major flaws when it comes to their puppets." Suzuki is already aware of it and he wanted nothing to do with the said organization anymore and since this woman who he saved is paying off some debt he would take what he can get.
"Well, then pay for your debt." He said coldly while the woman smirked.
"And PERFECT!" Shiba shouted as she is delighted that the couple perfected it, "Get the baby ready!" she called, one staff was a little reluctant and guilty for making a baby cry however.
"Uhm… how do I make him cry?" She asked and everyone sweat drops, Ren laughed.
"Can I try?" And Yashiro burst out laughing remembering the past when Ren done some acting causing baby Aki wail. Some staff pulled out their phones and secretly want to record him making a baby cry.
Ren skillfully took the baby to his arms and started bouncing him making cute words until he tapped the side of the aircraft with a loud bang and rubbed the baby's head trying to console the child even if he wasn't hit, and moments later loud cries can be heard, "Tryst me, this little joke sent me to the couch, garage and dog house multiple times, and I am glad this joke was useful for once." He said and Kyoko shook her head.
"You sent him to the dog house?" One of the hair dresser looked at Kyoko in awe.
"What can I say, I hate it when he jokes around Aki and makes the baby cry." Kyoko sighed shaking her head.
With the baby wailing they were back on the scene.
"Awe, is Yuzu-chan hungry?" the nanny handed her the five months old baby while Suzuki stared at the two in shock, "Yuzu, meet your papa." She nonchalantly said which confused the man, "This is your spawn." She snorted, "And come, you might be tired." She urged him to follow which he did, the child stopped crying and looked at him gurgling.
"Here, hold him." She trusted the man and handed her child to him which he skillfully took.
"CUT! Tsuruga-san." The couple turned to the director, "I mean Mr. Tsuruga, you are supposed to hold the child awkwardly." She instructed.
"Sorry, it's just force of habit, can we try that again?" and they did, this time he got it. Kyoko was in for some more scenes with him for the remainder of the three days they are to stay at the villa since they have to shoot all the scenes where Kyoko is involved since she is one of the main reasons on how Ren escaped the shady authority organization.
With a plan that they would make it look like that he died witnessed by the people that is after him. They have a onetime shot where he is given a medication that suspends his heart from beating and he would look dead, they have to make a show out of it and Kyoko's men will extract Ren from the said scene after to make sure to erase his existence and have him live as a free man.
The writer is pleased since her bland action adventure had some depth to it after adding drama and romance to it. It's been long since Ren took some romantic roles and this is quite refreshing that he is involved to it again, indeed their chemistry is nothing like others.
For their last day, Kyoko decided to grace everyone of her cooking on their little beach barbecue, and while everyone is occupied eating and mingling Ren and Kyoko are in some corner checking on their supposed baby sitters, and to their amazement their son orchestrated a slumber party with Kuu in his fluffy monster's inc onesie laid with the boys watching some cartoons in their theater room. Yashiro took the chance and take a picture of their reaction and posted it as a response.
Their fans were all amused at the cute family reaction to the shenanigans that Kuu does to his grandson.

He spoke in perfect English since it is his second language, "And today, we're going to be making an easy Katsudon because why not and it is lunch time and my parents aint around." Funny how he placed his camera inside a fridge and talking to it as he opened the fridge door.
"So grab your apron and spatula, we're making some good food!" He cutely smiled and started to make the dish.
"Hey kiddo, what are you doing?" the blonde singer came to join him.
"Oh, uncle Sho, I'm just making some Katsudon since mama and papa are out and so as Jiji and Mamita." He explained, "Care to join me?" He asked and the singer did not decline and put on his own apron.
The content was wholesome and funny after Sho keeps on telling the teen not to eat while cooking. "Wow, mommy's big boy is making food?" Another person came to join as she brought some other dishes.
"Fairy food mother!" He said in delight.
"Ruki-san." Sho greeted the teen's godmother with a smile.
"Fuwa-san, I'm glad you checked up on Aki."
"Of course, Kyoko specifically called me and since he's my favorite kiddo of course I'll come and what did you bring?" he asked and took a peek on her bag.
"Not much." She shrugged however she unloaded tons of food.
Aki then ended his little cooking at home vlog and ready to edit it later.
