I don't own Skip beat!

Their lunch date has ended much to Kuon's disdain. He wanted to spend more time with her but reality is kicking back in. He drive them both to the counsel's office that Aki-sensei has recommended. Truth to be told, he has no idea why Kyoko needs to undergo counseling. He was curious himself so he wanted to see.

A young lady was sitting in the reception when Kuon and Kyoko arrived the office. It was empty. "Hello, how can I help you today?" The said lady greeted the two, well Kuon in particular.

Kyoko smiled and greeted back, "Hi, I have an appointment with Kurosaki-sensei at 1pm, I'm Mogami Kyoko."

"Let me check" the young lady replied. After a few typing sounds she looked at Kyoko and said "Kurosaki-sensei is attending someone at the moment but will be done soon. Please have a seat" gesturing to the sofa set in front of the reception desk.

"Thank you"

Kyoko took some magazines from the rack and scan the pages while waiting. Kuon on the other hand decided to continue his amusement with Kyoko. He blow on her ears making her shriek. "Eeh! Kuon!" Kyoko glared at now the chuckling Kuon. "That's not funny"

Kuon faked his dejected look and said, "but I'm bored"

Kyoko then took another magazine from the rack and throw it in Kuon's lap "entertain yourself then" then goes back to reading. It was an article about certain ways to use avocado in cooking.

"I was entertaining myself with you" Kuon whispered in her ears. Kyoko eyes grew wide from the obvious advance this playboy was doing. Her glare has no effect now, well not with that red stains in her cheeks. "Kuuooonnnn, I'm reading", she whined changing tactics. 'Since he likes making me angry' Kyoko thought.

Of course he can't take it when Kyoko goes all cute and stuff. 'Goodness Kyoko, why are you pouting like that,' he thought tempted to snatch a kiss on her pouting lips. "Okay. what are you reading," he surrendered looking over the magazine she was looking at.

The young lady from the reception approaches the two and informed them that Kurosaki-sensei will be seeing Kyoko now. Kuon wanted to go too, but was stopped by Kyoko. "I'm sure the counsel was expecting to see me, not you so stay here" she said as if threatening him of something bloody if he insist on going.

Kuon raised his hands in surrender, and decided to scan the magazine she threw at him to read. He will wait.

"Good afternoon Kurosaki-sensei," Kyoko greeted politely.

The man raised his hand and greeted "Yo!- have a seat Mogami-san"

"So Aki-sensei have forwarded your case to me. I wanna ask why you decided on doing surrogacy? Well your young I'm sure getting pregnant wont be that hard" he said.

Kyoko felt embarrass with the straight forward question, but she know she needs to answer this "Uhm. sensei, I am a surrogate for someone else, its not for me"

Kurosaki laughed not at Kyoko's answer but her face. Her face is so red. Kyoko thought she was being laughed, about to retort at the counsel's rudeness but he beat her to it.

"Pardon me Mogami-san, but your face is all red, I can't help myself. Being serious now, you mentioned that this baby is for someone else. I wanted to ask if you are sure. This will be hard for you, I'm sure having a baby will be the last of your wants right now, but as time goes by you will be attached to the baby. He will grow inside of you that's why"

Kyoko wanted to say that she doesn't have a choice but decided not too. She was thinking of a proper reply when Kurosaki-sensei spoke, "i am aware that there will be a few days before the process starts, I want you to ponder on this matters Mogami-san. Do you really want to do this? Will you be able to do this? Like what I said, the baby will grow inside of you, getting attached to him is very much possible." He wrote a few notes on her folder when he started talking again, "I want you to comeback, bring the intended parents too-"

"The intended father is outside, sensei"

"Is that so?" He then picked up the phone on his desk and called the reception, "Can you please send the man outside waiting for Mogami-san"

Kuon came in as the counsel requested, the first thing he noticed was Kyoko, deep in her thoughts.

"Good day Mr.?"

"Hizuri"

Mr. Hizuri, please have a seat." Kuon seated beside Kyoko facing the counsel.

"Will your wife join us?"

"No, I have no wife" this surprised Kurosaki-sensei,

"I see. Like I said to Mogami-san here, Aki-sensei has passed your informations to me, but it is a bit hazy so I may need to ask you questions. Please bear with me"

Kuon nodded bothered by Kyoko's behavior.

"So you hired Mogami-san to be a surrogate mother for your baby correct?"

"Yes"

"You don't have a wife. Are you perhaps divorce? Or a widower?"

"I never married before" Kuon answered briefly.

"Single? Why surrogacy? When you can acquire the having a child in the good old fashioned way. Not to mention pleasurably." Kurosaki said shamelessly.

'The heck is this guy' Kuon was getting embarrassed too. He shifted on his chair before answering using his most professional facade "Do I really need to answer that?"

'Smart' Kurosaki cleared his throat, "Not really, Hizuri-san, Mogami-san, I am here to help you get through this surrogacy. It will be more on Mogami-san's side than you Hizuri-san. But I want you to know that according to the law, if Mogami-san changed her mind in this matter, you are not allowed to force her to do otherwise. If she conceived and wanted to back out, you have nothing to chase after, if she gives birth and changes her mind too, you can not do anything. So I suggest that you build a solid agreement on this matter if you are dead serious in having a baby with her"

Kuon was not expecting that. "I understand Kurosaki-sensei."

"I want both of you to come back in three days, build a solid agreement or..."

Kyoko looked at him,

"You can forget surrogacy and have the baby the married couple way." He finished winking at Kyoko. As if on cue, Kyoko blushed red. 'Shameless old man'

"Im not that old Mogami-san. Hahahaha. I'll see you then"

'talking out loud again Kyoko,' she mentally scolded herself. "Thank you Kurosaki-sensei,"

The two left the office with heavy thoughts.

Indeed they have to think this thoroughly.

Author's Note: So, I updated today coz I wont be able to until next week.

Yes, I made Kurosaki-kantoku a shameless, carefree person. I apologize if he is out of character.

As for the surrogacy thing, I remember in the American TV series Parenthood, Julia Braverman-Graham, contracted a young lady to have her baby once delivered coz she doesn't want to keep it due to teenage pregnancy and she was abandoned by her partner, but changed her mind after she carried the bundle of joy in her arms. Julia then gave way to the young lady to have the baby.

Yes I watch a lot of American TV series on my vacant time, which is not very often, apart from Animes. :)
