Sorry it has been a hectic month for me.

DISCLAIMER: I dont own Skip beat!
A chime on his phone notified him of a new message. Putting the necklace back on its case, he checked the message.
Its from Kyoko.
"I came to your office today but the receptionist said you are overseas. We are still doing the procedure right? I'm afraid it will be on the next month as my ovulation passed already if that is still okay with , I don't know why you are avoiding me. at first I thought you are swarmed with work but a week without a word from you is different. I'm sorry for that night Kuon. We already had a deal, and I am not backing out now not when you invested a lot of time, money and effort. -Kyoko'.
He didnt know what came over him, it might the alcohol, the exhaustion or the effect of not seeing her but he did what he said he wont.
He sent her a message.
"I wish we meet on a different circumstance Kyoko. I would give up everything for that. -Kuon".

Kyoko was trying not to squirm on her seat. It was decided that she and Kuon will meet today after their last talk. She is restless, the conversation they had on the phone was not the usual ones they usually have.
"I wish we meet on a different circumstance Kyoko. I would give up everything for that. -Kuon".
Kuon almost punch himself after he realized what he did. He sent her another message.
"I will be back in a few days. Work has been piling up. Like I said last time you are not obliged to do your end of the deal. -Kuon"
"You helped me so let me help you too. I don't mind really. :) but maybe we can only have one child? Spare me some slack –Kyoko"
"Whatever you want. Meet me at Hotel XXX in two days –Kuon"
Kuon was walking towards her when she came back from her inner musing. She missed him so much. She almost, almost stand up and ran to him and give him a hug if not for the cold look he was putting on.
"Good day Mogami-san" he greeted as he situated on the vacant seat opposite to Kyoko.
Her heart broke. Mogami-san?
"Hello Ku- Hizuri-san" She answered trying to ignore that prickling pain in her chest.
"Are you sure you still want to be the surrogate?" He asked nonchalantly.
"Yes. I would really like to help you too." She said trying to keep herself together. He was so close to her yet so far. What had happened?
"Very well. I have talked to the doctor who will do the procedure, she just want you to come on your next ovulation and they will do the procedure then. Same agreements apply I will cover all the payments" Kuon explained. This is too hard for him. His love is in front of him looking as beautiful as she was when they last saw each other. He has been putting every last drop of patience and self-control to stop him from crushing her to a hug and pepper her with kisses. He need to distance his being to her so he will not put her into more suffering than he already did. She deserve someone better than him. He reminded himself.
"If that is all Mogami-san, I need to go" getting up from the seat he turned his back on her. He needed to retreat. As he walk away he heard her whisper,
"What is happening, Kuon?"
He stopped, giving her a backwards glance he said, "I don't know what you are saying Mogami-san."
Kyoko closed the distance he created and stopped a step away, "Why are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong?"
Kuon was calculating his answer, he doesn't want to hurt her but somehow he has to if he wanted her to forget him. "It's better this way" with that he walked away not giving her the chance to say anything.
Kyoko was surprised as tears started to fall. Wiping at them angrily she said to no one, "Better for who?"
Kuon was driving back to the Corp. Yashiro called not long ago asking for his presence. Apparently some big shot wanted to meet him. Something about offering him a deal he cannot say no to. That was interesting.
He already know whatever this person is going to offer he will decline but Yashiro said that at the very least, hear the person first. He traveled from far so a little of his busy time should be spared.
Sure why not. Anything that will take his mind off Kyoko is very much welcomed.
He is questioning is stupid reasoning for seeing her. He could have send Yashiro or Kijima to meet her and pass his decision. Or better yet, he should've said it when they were talking via messages. Its not hard to type the words he just told her.
Seeing her made him infuriated. Is he some sort of masochist?
Yes he is.
A stupid masochist.
Kyoko is not giving up.
After his parting words she was indeed hurt, those words were like salt rubbed in her wounded heart but she is not just about to give up. She know that something is bothering Kuon. It was etched on his face.
Determined to get to the bottom of this problem, she is now marching to the Hizuri Corp. If she need to strangle him on the neck or hang him upside down, she will do it, so long he spits the answer she needed to know. he owe her that much.
Author's Note: Yo~ I am regretful for the late update.
