Thanks for reading, I hope you like this new chapter.
I stared at my mother and I was sure the anger was eminent on my face. "I'll ask you again, what the Hell are you doing here?"
"Kyouko, I came here in order to find you." She said with a blank expression.
"How do you even know that I would be here?" I asked, with menace in my voice. I really didn't want to talk to her right now.
She strode over to where I was standing and went right passed me, stopping a little ways behind me. "I'm going to be gone for a few months. I believe you can manage the house for me while I'm gone." She stated, not even bothering to turn around and look me in the eyes.
I started to laugh, but it wasn't a happy sound, it was sort of a sad and weak laugh. I don't even think I smiled.
She was gone and I was here alone again. But for some reason it didn't give me the same peace it used to. It was almost like I had found the peace of Corn somewhere else, but I had to leave it behind.
There was a rustling in the trees and I quickly turned towards the noise. It looked like something was coming, and it was something big.
Before I could do anything, someone flew right out of the bushes. He soared through the sky, right over my head. Landing with his back toward me, but I knew exactly who it was, Corn.
"Corn, is that you?" I asked trying to wipe away the few tears that were still clinging to my eyes.
Before I could say anything else more noise came from behind me in the bushes. I turned to see someone else coming through them, but this person was definitely not a fairy like Corn. He was making a lot of noise and was tripping over everything. He finally stumbled through the last bush and I almost screamed with anger.
"Sho what are you doing here?" I sneered; he had no right coming to my special place.
"Um, he brought me here, said that if you were upset then we would probably find you here." He said pointing behind me.
I turned to see, not Corn, but Ren. "Kyouko, we want you to come back with us." Ren said matter-of-factly.
I stood gaping at them, how did they know that I'd be here? And why did Ren bring Sho with him?
"Look, I brought Sho here to remind you that you swore revenge on him. Now how are you going to get revenge if you stay here?"
"Ren go home, and take Lassie here with you." I said pointing towards Sho, who stood there rubbing his arm where he hit it against a tree on the way in. He looked like a lost puppy.
"Not until you come too,"
"How did you even know I'd be here, I have never told anyone before and now, all of a sudden, everyone knows how to get here?
He sighed, looking down at his feet. Apparently there was something he didn't want to tell me, and I was going to make him.
"I might think about going back if you told me how you got here?" I lied
"No you won't" He said finally meeting my eyes. It was the wrong thing to do, because I saw his submission in them, and he knew that I had and immediately tried to hide it.
"Ah, I'm still here you know, you guys can please stop ignoring me now." Pleaded Sho from the sidelines, and I almost felt pity for him, almost.
"Well, Ren are you going to tell me or not, because I have other places to be." I lied again, and he knew that too. How exactly did he read me so well?
He walked up to me and stood a good foot higher than I did. "Who did I remind you of when I flew over you?"
I was confused, "You reminded me of Corn; he used to show me how he flew all of the time, until he left that is."
"And if I can fly like Corn, and I knew where your and his secret hiding place is, then who do you think I am?" He locked eyes with me then and wouldn't let them go; it was like he could literally hold my gaze. It was terrifying the way he made me feel, yet I would always want to feel this way, I just knew I would.
"You're Corn," I whispered, I was pretty sure Sho couldn't even hear me and he was standing right next to me.
Ren filled in the gap between us in one stride, grabbed me and wrapped me in his arms and hugged me tight. It made me remember the day I left, and I went like jelly in his arms.
"Yes, I'm Corn, even though my name is actually Kuon. You were too little to say it when I met you, and you were crying to hard that you must not have heard me correctly." He teased, and I could hear the smile in his voice.
I pushed away from him enough to look into his eyes. "You're Kuon?"
"Sh, don't let Sho know, I have to keep it a secret to everyone."
"Except me,"
"Yes except you of course, but just so you know, my father keeps asking me how you're doing, so why don't we go visit him and my mother?"
I thought about it for a moment, "How about you take me home first, I really miss home."
He laughed into my hair, "I would love to take you home, my little princess."
I glowed with joy, and I knew it was obvious. I had always wanted to be a princess and have a prince come and save me. Now my dream had become a reality, except for the fact that Sho was here, but I guess this was good enough.
"I don't know what's going on, but can we go already?" Sho sneered through clenched teeth, he was obviously pissed that he wasn't the prince.
Ren chuckled and it sounded so sweet, like honey. "Okay, let's take our princess home." He said putting his arm around my waist and leading me out of the bushes. I could hear Sho having a hard time behind us and a smile cracked out across my face. Any trace of sorrow was now gone.
We were almost to the car when I heard someone calling my name; I turned to see my teacher coming towards me, looking kind of worryingly at Sho and Ren. Clearly he didn't recognize them, just like no one had recognized that I was the Kyouko from TV.
"Kyouko where are you going and who are these people," He asked, but then he saw the smile on my face and looked even more confused than before.
I laughed and then answered him truthfully. "This is my prince," I said motioning to Ren. "Ren Tsuruga. And this is Sho, he just followed Ren."
His eyes brightened, "These are the real Ren and Sho?"
"Yup, and they're taking me home."
"But you live right around the corner don't you?"
I stared at him and thought of the right wording for what I was going to say. "Teacher, you were right, I wasn't happy. I was made to leave my home, and my friends," I said looking back at Ren and Sho, but mostly just Ren, "and I really missed my job. So now I'm going back home and I would like you to keep it quiet from my mother for just a little while. You can inform her of my leaving once she returns from her trip."
He smiled, "I would be honored to she her expression when she finds you gone."
Ren and Sho started to laugh as well, and I hugged Teacher good bye. "I'll visit once and a while, but if you ever want to see me, just turn on the Television." And with that I got into the car, and we drove away. I looked back to see his confused expression turn into that of recognition.
I was happy; I was gong back to my castle, with my prince, on his stead, also known as Sho.
