Chapter 2

"Come on Shoko Baby. You know it was an accident. I would never do anything like that to Kyoko." He purred into her ear.

She sighed. Of course he wouldn't. Sure, he got angry every now and then because of Kyoko-chan, but he had never really done anything to her, too physical. Well maybe a little slap to put her in her place a while back, but she kind of asked for it by barging into his dressing room and yelling at him. Plus, he had apologized to her for it and he did give her those flowers for Valentine's Day, then took her to lunch after picking her up from school that one day. So, they were actually dating, right? He would never actually hurt her on purpose. Besides, she would only be in the hospital for a couple of weeks and back on her feet in a couple of months. There was no actual permanent damage done. She was going to be okay, and Sho still had his career. That's all that really mattered, wasn't it?

"So, will you do it for me? Get her new information for me, so I can visit her in the hospital?" He looked like such an eager little boy. He wanted to apologize for something that clearly wasn't his fault.

She smiled softly and stroked his cheek. "Fine Sho. I'll get you the information, but you must be on your best behavior. It's a hospital and it won't do if you upset the other patients by being rambunctious. You behave, go in, apologize and leave immediately. Others won't think you're as innocent as you are if you start scolding at her in a hospital and disrupting the other patients." She scolded as she pulled away from him and left their bed.

He smirked and slapped her backside. "Thanks beautiful."

Okay, this isn't quite the reception he had been expecting. His thoughts were panicked and muddled as he pondered the dark demon that had his hand wrapped tightly around his throat and the specter that was reminding him not to kill the VK singer in the background, while the singer clawed frantically at the vice-like grip around his throat for air.

"Kuon?" The female called out hoarsely and Sho was dropped on his ass as the demon rushed to her side, crushing the get well flowers, he had brought, underfoot.

"Fuwa-san, I think it would be in your best interest if you left immediately. Mr. Heel, her new bodyguard, is very protective of Kyoko-sama. This will be your only warning, I suggest you take heed." Ruto informed him.

Sho quickly scrambled to his feet and scurried out the door. It was the most terrifying experience he had ever had. Who the hell was that? He could literally feel the darkness rolling off the guy.

"Sho! Are you alright?" Shoko rushed to him from down the hall when she saw him scurry out the door to the hospital room in a panic.

The nurses at the nurse's station that had let him through, due to his charm and flirtatiousness, looked on in confusion. They just couldn't understand why the attractive young man would come running out of the starlet's room as he did. Certainly he wasn't on her list, but what young woman wouldn't appreciate a visit from one of Japan's top bachelors?

"Demon... Wanted to kill... me." He panted to his manager.

She looked up toward the door to see the third person that Sho had not noticed come out of the room and put on her all business mask. "Excuse me..."

Yukihito Yashiro looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. This woman was one of the individuals on the restricted list, especially after what she and her charge had done to Kyoko-chan. He swallowed his anger. "How may I help you?" He didn't even want to afford her the use of her name.

"What did you do to Sho?" She hissed at him as she stood between the manager and her charge.

Yashiro gave her an incredulous look and chuckled in disbelief. "Really?" He was not about to give her the satisfaction of any admission of what happened to the slime in that room. "Shoko-san, I think you need to take your charge and leave. I don't know how he got past security after not being on the visitor's list, but I highly advise you keep him away from her after what he did." Yashiro told her calmly.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She answered looking around to make sure no one heard their conversation.

Yashiro raised an eyebrow at her blatant denial and shook his head. He knew he was not going to get anywhere in the hallway of the hospital with this woman and these were matters that were best discussed between the Kyoko-chan's protectors and law enforcement and right now, they didn't have the evidence they needed to make any headway. "Alright since you've decided to involve yourself in such a manner, let's do it this way. Kyoko-chan is not accepting any visits from overzealous fans, such as your charge. If he wishes to meet her, he can wait until she makes an appearance at a meet and greet affair."

"Why would I have anything to do with that plain, boring, unattractive, soul-sucking demon!?" Sho protested the implication that he was a fan-boy.

Yashiro turned his icy gaze to the delinquent and smiled. "Good, then I presume this will be the last we see of you. You have no reason to be here or, anywhere near my charge so you may take your...?" He paused, there were so many words that flew into his mind that described this disgusting woman after what he had heard from Kyoko-chan and many others regarding their relationship.

"Manager... I'm his manager." She ground out.

"Ah... So, that's what they're calling it now. Very well. Your manager. Please take your manager and leave. Any business that you may have with Kyoko-san can be submitted to myself or, Lory Takarada when she is fully healed... in about three to six months. A fair amount of time considering her injuries and the surgeries she's had to endure. Although, it may be a bit longer." He paused wondering if he shouldn't throw in the new information for added guilt effect. "Then there is the physical therapy she will possibly need, seeing that the doctor's aren't quite certain if she will be able to walk after this, with the extensive damage that was done from the fall to her lower back, legs and her internal injuries." His eyes pierced the stunned and flinching pair. Good, hopefully they will see what they've done! He smirked inwardly and shook his head. "After all, she is recovering from nearly being killed... by the fall, that is." He threw in.

The pair paled at the new news. Sho's uncle never said a word on how bad it was. He had implied that it was just a few broken bones and some bruises.

"So, Kyoko-san will be resting and recovering in privacy with those that actually care for her." He finished with a cold tone and definitely letting the pair know that they were not included in that exclusive group.

"But..." The spoiled young idol whined.

The angry, stoic, well-dressed, older man held up his hand. "NO! You were told to stay away from her! That was part of our agreement to her for her silence! You broke that agreement! Now here we are in a position where we may have to monetarily compensate her for time lost on the job, her hospital bills, her physical therapy and her personal care-giver! The doctors have only just released to me her injuries from your actions! Hip broken in three places, broken femur, punctured lung and broken ribs, broken shoulder, damaged spleen, part of her intestine had to be removed and her lower spinal cord may have been damaged! I have been informed that it was a miracle that she didn't die from her injuries on the way to the hospital! If you approach her again, I will not bail you out of your troubles! She has my best lawyer and my best investigator on her side this time!" The man's face was red with anger and the young man was cowering in his seat as his manager stood by the door taking in all of the information. "Now get out of my office so I can fix this new mess and take your whore with you!" He commanded and the pair quickly left.
