Ren thought his father is having an altered though process for he said something stupid like asking him to break up with Kyoko so he did not take it seriously. Ren urged his father to lay down on his futon to have a much needed sleep the Kuu agrees to.

"I'm serious on what I said Kuon, you must break up with Kyoko." His father said before shutting his eyes to sleep.

Ren was not able to sleep that night there were many things that runs through his mind, first was the breakage of Kyoko's stone that he gave. Second was the way his father looked it and last was why his father would ask him to break up with Kyoko. He can't wait for his father to wake up with the effects of the drugs he took had worn off to ask him directly a lot of questions.

Ren did not want to take his father's request seriously but for him to call him by his real name is something he was alarmed of. Kuu rarely asks something from him that is why he follows his desire but if he really means what he said he might go against his father's desire this one time. He sent a text message to his manager Yashiro to come to him as soon as possible for he might need his trustworthy manger's help in the future.

The shoot for that day does not require Kuu and Ren's presence which was a good thing for Ren as he can sort things with his father, but Kyoko was needed in the day's shoot along with Sho that made him worry. He wanted to come by the shoot to look out for Kyoko but he decided to stay and talk with his father when he wakes up. Ren told Kyoko that he can't join her for he was having migraine when he woke up, Kyoko was worried when she heard him having migraine so he asked him to just rest and not to worry about her.

"It's alright Tsuruga san, Director Musashi, Assisatant Director Ushio, staff and crew of Sakura Love is with us and I know they will not let Sho do anything stupid on me. So just take a rest today and don't worry about me." Kyoko said smiling at Ren.

"I'll make up to you the next time Mogami san. Take care." Ren said before waving goodbye to Kyoko as she left.

Kuu washed his face when he woke up and took a seat in front of the table inside Ren's room where his breakfast is waiting for him, seated adjacent to him was his son who was looking at him.

"I'm sorry for sleeping in your room when I have my own." Kuu said apologetically to his son before drinking his coffee.

Ren only nodded. He waited until his father was done eating and removed the dishes first before he started to ask questions.

"Have you taken any illegal drug last night?" He asked his face was serious a face his father is very much aware of.

"No, I was drunk last night and my eyes were tired that is the reason why I have bloodshot eyes last night. I apologize if I worried you last night by the way I looked." Kuu said with toothpick in his mouth as he was removing any debris left in between of his teeth.

"I'm glad to hear that, you really have me worried, I knew you are just having hallucinations from alcohol withdrawal that is why you ask me to do something stupid."

"It was not from alcohol withdrawal Kuon, I was in the right state of mind when I asked you to break up with Kyoko." He said with his index finger pointed at his son's face.

After her make up was done Kyoko glanced at her script to look at it one more time before the filming starts when Sho approached her.

"How is my fiancé, have you memorized your lines for our scenes?" He asked in an arrogant tone of voice.

Hearing his voice alone is enough to ruin the rest of Kyoko's day but she can't let that arrogant Sho take the best out of her, she had to keep herself calm or disaster might come next. She's a new person now and her demons were exorcised however, her anger might trigger her demons to return. Kyoko inhaled deeply to keep herself calm and for her anger to evaporate away.

"I' m not in the mood to joke around with you Sho, if you are expecting me to burst out in anger you are wrong for I am working now and finishing my work is what matters to me." Kyoko said with emphasis on her words.

"I know. I've known since childhood so I know everything about you from your mood swings to your mannerisms and all, which is why I am the most perfect person to be married to you." He said with confidence in his words.

Kyoko sighed put her script aside and looked straight into Sho's eyes and said, "You had your chance before but you ruined it, there might be legality about the deal your parents made with my mother but no one owns my heart but me and Tsuruga san, and that is something I will never entrust to you again."

Kyoko left Sho after she said what she had always wanted to say. It was like releasing a thorn in her heart it made her feel a whole lot better. As for Sho it was like a thunderbolt that fell from the sky directed towards him, her words stabbed him like a knife and he will not let it go by that easily.

Sho clenched his fists as he was enraged from what Kyoko said to him. No girl said something like that to him even though he played a lot of girl's hearts. No one dared for they were scared of him but Kyoko was not them she is different from those girls who simply let's it go. Kyoko was like them before but now she's a renewed person thanks to Ren.

"I'll be the one laughing in the end not your lover boy Tsuruga Ren remember that! You will be mine Kyoko make no mistake about that!" He screamed for Kyoko to hear as she was a meter away from him.

Ren who was in tailor sitting position was shaking after hearing his father. He cannot utter any words for he respects his father but asking him to break up with the girl who took his heart is something he can't do for doing so will almost kill him.

"I can't do that father. You know I can't." Ren said with his voice shaking like his body.

"Kuu cleared his throat and said, "But you have to, breaking up is what's best for the two of you."

"Is this about the deal between Sho's parents and Kyoko's mom?"

Kuu was not aware of the deal between the Fuwa's and Saena and he can't tell Ren the real reason why he wanted his son to break up with Kyoko. He will use the deal as a reason for his son not to dig any more details from him.

"Yes it is. That deal was legal and if you continue with your relationship with Kyoko, that could only mean trouble for both of you. Think logically Kuon use your head not your heart."

AN: Updated quickly as you all requested. Don't be mad at Kuu he's just a person who is not perfect. Will someone shoot Sho in the head I'll thank anyone who will do that in advance. xD
