"What are you talking about Kuon…you can't leave Japan after making a name and earning redemption for your past." Kuu said worriedly.
"It's the only way I can separate myself from Kyoko chan without hurting her so much, I don't want her to know anything about us being siblings it will hurt her more than me leaving. After Sakura Love's premier I'll announce my retirement from Showbiz and leave at the same day for America. Yashiro I'll ask you to handle all my unfinished business here and I know it is too much to ask but you are the only one I can trust you with this." Ren said sincerely.
"Ren is your decision final there's another option aside from that isn't it?" Yashiro asked nervously.
Ren nodded sideways and stared at the outside view of the car, while Kuu buried his face in his hands.
At Saena's house
Kyoko slapped Sho as hard as she can to stop what he was currently doing and gave him a deadly glare.
"How dare you play with my feelings twice Shotaro don't you have any honor that you broke your promise and now you assault me?!" Kyoko said angrily hugging herself with tears on her eyes.
Sho sighed deeply, "I'm sorry Kyoko but I am getting frustrated that Ren always wins your heart when I am the one you are obsessed to before."
"It's because I was dumb then but since my Pandora's box was opened when you belittled me all my feelings for you are gone and I even forget what it means to be in love and then Ren kun came along, guiding me not only to be a good actress but have my self-respect and confidence back and showed me what it means to love and be loved in return. That's the reason why you can never win my heart again because the part of it that loved you are locked for good and you can only be a friend to me, but with what you did just now…you meant nothing anymore." Kyoko said crying and ran out of her room leaving a heart broken Sho.
"Kyoko chan why are you running, where are you going?" Shoko asked who was by the main door.
Kyoko embraced Shoko and cried at her shoulder.
"Is it Sho?" Shoko again asked.
Kyoko nodded and Shoko tightened her embrace at the poor girl she eavesdropped at Sho and Saena's talk earlier about her and Ren being siblings and although Shoko admires Sho a lot if he's the only one who can keep Kyoko from committing a sin and even through his drastic measures she'll allow it for Kyoko will understand it in the end.
After Saena was done preparing their lunch she called everyone to eat and noticed her daughter's puffy eyes and Sho's silence as they were eating.
"Did anything happen that I am not aware of?" Saena asked.
Everyone maintained their silence and Kyoko left the dinner table and locked herself inside her room.
Saena raised an eyebrow at Sho and he spoke, "I forced to kiss Kyoko out of her free will when I saw her return earlier."
"And why did you do that?"
"Because she reconciled her relationship with Ren."
Saena banged her fists in the table startling Shoko.
"You do know they can't be together right?"
Sho nodded and said, "I know because she belongs to me because of your contract with my parents."
Kyoko dialed Ren's number and called him.
"Kyoko chan did anything happen to you?" Ren asked on the other line who answered Kyoko's call.
"It's Sho he hurt me again."
Ren clenched and unclenched his fist in anger.
"Ren kun?"
"Yes Kyoko chan I'm still here, what did he do this time?" Ren said with anger in his voice.
Kyoko held back tears and in a shaky voice said, "He forced his self to kiss me again but this time…he even forced his tongue inside."
"What? Where are you now? I'll get you."
"At my mother's house."
"Stay there I'll get you just text to me the address." Ren said and turned his phone off.
Ren asked for the car keys from Yashiro.
"Are you going somewhere? I can drive for you are still recuperating your lost energy Ren."
"I can drive myself Yashiro I have recovered enough." Ren said and snatched the keys from Yashiro and drove to the place Kyoko texted him.
Kyoko was about to leave her mother's house but her mother called her who was at the living room.
"Kyoko chan why did you leave lunch so suddenly and where are you going?"
"I don't want to see Sho mom that's why I am leaving. If you will excuse me I shall be staying back at the house director Musashi provided for the cast of our movie."
Saena wanted to stop her daughter from leaving but she let her and unknown to them Himuro was eavesdropping outside of Saena's house.
"Kyoko chan…so that's the name of my daughter, but why is Saena keeping her from me?"
Inside Sho's room
"We are to leave tonight for Tokyo, your MV shooting for your latest hit is tomorrow." Shoko said while looking at her tablet.
"Can't we postpone that?" Sho said in an irritated tone.
"No. Your work schedules are fully booked starting tomorrow after I cancelled some of your works to go here and visit Kyoko chan in the hospital."
"Fine, but when will I see Kyoko again?"
"At the premier of Sakura Love that is two weeks from now."
"Two weeks?! Darn it a lot of things can happen in that time. Isn't there any movie promotions for that?"
"There is but only the main characters and director Musashi are scheduled to attend movie promotions."
"Seriously?! Shoko can you do me a favor and ask Kyoko her address in Tokyo? She won't talk to me for what I did to her."
"I will, for now prepare your things for our departure tonight."
Ren immediately embraced Kyoko upon seeing her arrive at their meeting place.
"How are you feeling now Kyoko chan?"
"I'm fine because you are now here."
Damn you Sho for hurting Kyoko chan again.
"I'm staying back at the house director Musashi provided for us I can't stay with mother anymore for Sho is staying with us."
So that is the reason why Sho was able to force himself on her. But if Sho is with them could it mean that he already knows about us being siblings for his family and Kyoko's have a long history together which is evident with their betrothal contract?
Kyoko looked at Ren and said, "Why are you silent?"
"Nothing I was just thinking of ways of how I will murder Sho." He joked to keep her from asking further.
"Oh? But you will be committing a crime Ren kun, even though I hate him to the core murder is an unforgivable crime."
Ren placed a chaste kiss on Kyoko's forehead. "I know I was just kidding you."
Kyoko smiled and embraced Ren again.
AN: Next chapter will be all about Ren and Kyoko for calm before the storm. Hehehe anyway I need your reviews to motivate me. Thanks for your continued support on Sakura Love and I am planning on ending this in 65 chapters or less.
