I don't own Skip beat!
Author's Note: I intended to update again after the last, but we had a few people staying over in our place. And its like a jungle with a lot of kids, my thoughts keeps getting disturb.
i wrote a few words everyday just so I know I still have the momentum when i first started this story. Sorry for the long wait.
"Kyoko, I will be going to your check ups until that day, so can we please stop this nonsense now."
"Koun-san, I can handle it on my own, also the doctor asked for me"
"That doesn't mean I can't come"
'He can be a child sometimes' Kyoko thought.
They have this going on for the past hour. Kuon insist that he will go with Kyoko during the monitoring period, Kyoko on the other hand thinks its unnecessary. She knows how busy Kuon is,
"Corporate Executives are needed in their office more Hizuri-san"
"Aren't you glad I have Yukihito to look over things while I'm away" Kuon said with a hint of arrogance.
"Arrghh. Your impossible"
"I know" he chuckles
"Kuuooonn, please, I wanted to go on my own. I will call you when I finish visiting the doctor"
"Sigh... Alright. But you have to update me"
"Okay. I will. i have to go now, I need to prepare for work"
To be honest, Kyoko is not sure if she can handle seeing Kuon right now. After the day he kissed her, something inside Kyoko stirred. She decided to ignore it,partly afraid of what she will discover.
The man has been nothing but sweet and gentle but that does not mean he likes her. He was looking after her well-being because she will be carrying his baby, babies, whichever. So she needs to put herself on check and stop being attracted to him.
'And it will only be possible if you stop seeing him' Kyoko mentally chided.

"Mogami-san, it seems that the pills are working just fine. If this continues, its possible for you to have twins." Aki-sensei explained cheerfully. "I understand that you are a surrogate, correct?" Kyoko nodded. "While we are monitoring you, I would want you to undergo counselling."
Kyoko furrowed her brows, she was seriously confuse, "Its for you own good. I'll refer you a person who can do it"

It was late that night when Kyoko comes home from work. Her mind is full of unwanted thoughts. The kiss, Kuon, what she feels for him, it keeps haunting her mind so she decided an extra shift will blow it all away.
It did. But she is also dead tired, lunch rush and dinner rush are surprisingly busy today. She helped in the kitchen and with the tables. She didn't have time to think about Kuon all day.
As she came closer to the Kotonami household,she noticed Kuon's car parked outside. 'Why is he here? Its already late' Kyoko asked herself. She approached the car and startled when Kuon had the window go down. "Good evening Miss," he greeted breezily.
"Kuon-san, what are doing here? This late in the evening" Kyoko asked.
"A certain woman promised to call me after her doctor's visit, sadly she didn't. I tried calling her but her phone was off. Imagine my surprise when I came to her place and found out she was still at work" Kuon said. His brows are scrunched together.
"I'm sorry. They need extra people at work so I had to take extra shift."
Kuon then opened the car door, went out and faced Kyoko, "I thought we have agreed that you will not take extra work."
"I did not. It was just today. I'm sorry" Kyoko sincerely apologized. She knew what she did was wrong but she will not tell him why she did it. It sounds creepy even just thinking about it 'I had to take an extra shift cause I was thinking about you the whole day.' Creepy.
"Would you like to come inside for a tea?" She asked, looking up at Kuon.
"I would love to. But I can't Yashiro wanted us to go out tonight" he said then looked at his watch, "I have to go Kyoko. I'm glad to see your safe."
Kyoko smiled in response. Kuon then climbed his vehicle and took one last glance at Kyoko before leaving.

Kanae saw their small talk outside the house thru her window. Ever since the rich rat's first visit, she already sensed that something was off with both him and Kyoko. She chose not to put so much thought because she know Kyoko. And falling in love was in the last of her list. Still she needed to confirm it.
She looks at Kyoko like a mother catching her daughter kissing when she entered the room. "What did he want this time Kyoko?" She wasted no time in asking.
"Just checking on me, that's what he said" Kyoko explained as she took off her jacket and put it on the rack.
"Why does he need to check on you?" Kanae pressed, her eyes are getting big.
"Moko-san, I don't know." Kyoko looked at Kanae, and pouted. Why is she getting questioned anyway.
"Mo Kyoko, I am warning you. We both know that the guy is a playboy, don't you dare deny it. Smooth talking bastard. Don't you dare fall for his words they are not real."
"i know" Kyoko whispered.
Kanae walk towards Kyoko and made Kyoko faced her, "I don't want you getting tangled up in his mess. We don't know what's playing on his mind. Kyoko I don't want you getting hurt." Kanae said it with so much sincerity. She really did care for Kyoko.
"Don't worry Moko-san," she gave Kanae her best smile, "can we get ready for bed now. My feet are killing me"

Sleep was hard to come by for Kyoko. She keeps on turning in her bed rumpling her futon. Kanae was situated on the other side of the room so waking her up has a small possibility.
After a few more tossing and turning, she gave up and sat down. She's confuse, what's with Hizuri Kuon that her mind can't stop thinking of him. She admits that he was attractive, certainly. And that smile of his, it should not be allowed to be shown on public. Little by little her heart is beating faster. She liked how he looks after her, making sure she is well and unharmed.
'What is this?' She thought. 'How would I know'
She thought of how her Daddy treats her Mommy. Kyousuke was never a romantic type but he has his own ways of showing his love. She thought of how her Mommy reacts to his Daddy's surprises, those blushing moments her mother had, her joy when they visit her at work, or when they go out for lunch. She was not sure how it came,but she might be falling for Hizuri Kuon. 'Oh joy!'
Kuon is drinking too much than he originally planned. He needed Yashiro's help into something that has been confusing him but he know the man will just make fun of him.
A woman came by there table and sat beside him, startling him from his thoughts and Yashiro, who was talking in the phone.
"Hi" the woman said. She was wearing a red corset one size smaller than her making her chest looks like its about to pop out and a skirt which is leaving very few to one's imagination. She was looking at Kuon like he was a dessert, "You look familiar, have we met?" Killing it with a smile. On normal occasion, Kuon would grab the opportunity to bed this woman but not since the last one.
"No. Sorry" He replied not even looking at the woman. He was gulping the last remnants of his drink and ordered another glass.
Saying Yashiro was surprised is an understatement. This is the first time Kuon said no to a woman. He might have misheard it so decided to pretend talking to the phone and listen more.
"You did not even look at me?" The woman said pouting.
Kuon glanced at her briefly, "Still no."
Nope. Yashiro heard right.
"You want to dance? We can get to know more" she whispered in Kuon's ear feeling triumphant as she snake her arm on Kuon's waist.
Kuon brushed her hands away and gave the woman a look thats promised death, then smiled "I'm not interested" the woman should run for it, but Yashiro think she left her brain in her house.
"I can make you interested" she said crossing her arms putting emphasize on her chest.
Kuon laughed, mocking the woman, "You should go". And go she did.
"Thank the stars, I thought your gonna butcher her for a second there." Yukihito said looking at Kuon, "Hey whats the matter? You have this gloom cloud over your head."
"I don't know Yash" letting out a weary sigh.
"Are you having second thoughts on surrogacy?"
Kuon snorted. "No, i still want kids, but Im not sure I want to obtain them thru a surrogate mom."
Yukihito furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"
"I think I lover her" Kuon admitted drinking his fresh batch of alcohol.
'Did I hear it correctly, Hizuri Kuon falling in love?' Yukihito thought.
He tried playing along, "love who?"
"Kyoko" Kuon answered in a flash.
"the baby mama?" Yukihito confirmed. Kuon nodded.
"What makes you say that?" He asked. 'Kuon must be drunk if he is so willing to share.'
"I haven't felt this disturbed Yash. The last time I had bedded a woman I felt guilty like i committed adultery and i don't have a wife. I felt like I cheated her. Lately, I was being this love sick fool i don't even recognize, caring for her, worrying. I even went out of my way visiting her to work and the place she stays." He was thinking how that changed, he never cared for the women he sleeps with but this one jolts his system just seeing her. "i wanted to see her more, talk to her more, spend time with her. Arrghh.." He was bumping his head on the table. "I think Im gonna go insane, if something happens to her"
Yukihito was baffled. Just when did it all happen. "Maybe because she is the surrogate mom Kuon. i think its best to change the candidate"
"But the process has already started" Kuon reasoned.
"Not the insemination Kuon, you can still change her"
"That's the thing, I don't want to change her, I just want to change our relation. I want her to be the 'mom' and not just a surrogate mom."
Dun dun dun dun. Hehehe until next update.
