Chapter 4


"WHAT?!" Kyoko's eyes were wide and she had been overwhelmed by the information that the document contained. "Please tell me that there's a way out of this. That it's not legally binding!" She begged.

Lory shook his head. "It is legally binding; however, we did find a loophole and that's where you come in Kuon. That is, if you are willing."

Kuon raised an eyebrow. "If I can get her out of this situation, I'm willing to do anything that is needed."

Lory smiled. "Good..." He stood up and four people entered her room, Susumu Todoh, Saena Mogami, Yukihito Yashiro and the hospital chaplain. He placed two documents on her bed table, handed both couples a pen and smiled. "Sign..."

The two males signed confidently and the two females signed with shaky hands and hearts filled with nervousness. The two females stared into each other's eyes.

"Kyoko... I'm so sorry about all of this." She swallowed hard. "I should have been more careful and paid attention to what it said." She confessed.

Kyoko shook her head. "It's okay Mother, you weren't in the right state of mind when it happened and he took advantage of the situation." Kyoko looked over at her father. "But... If you ever hurt my mother... hell won't even be a safe place for you to hide... Papa." She flashed a smile that was a little bit of a Mio and Natsu mixed together and a shiver crept down his spine. "I expect a full explanation when I'm out of the hospital."

Susumu smiled softly. "I'm sorry Kyoko... and you will definitely know, but for now... These documents need to be filed immediately." He told her as he handed them back to Lory for safe keeping.

"Ruto, I need you to take these to my friend at the Registrar's Office and have her personally file all of them. Do not leave until you witness it yourself and be sure to bring back copies for the newlyweds." Lory instructed.


This was perfect. He would have his victory over him and she would be back where she belonged, in Kyoto as a maid. She wouldn't be able to damage his reputation by opening her soul-sucking trap as his future wife and Tsuruga would be out of the picture. Who would have thought that his Uncle could be that devious? Sho smirked at the thought. There was no way that plain, boring girl from Kyoto would be able to find anyone to marry her before she turned 18 next month. Tsuruga wouldn't do it, his fan-base would take too big of a hit if he did. By the end of December, she would be back in Kyoto living out her life as a maid with the last name of Fuwa. She would be out of his way and his mother would stop nagging him to make up with the stupid girl. Life didn't get any better. It was almost ironclad. What made it even better was that she couldn't get married to anyone, but him unless her mother tracked down her father and got him to marry her and who would marry that ice queen? Hell, the whore didn't even know who he was, according to his uncle. It would never happen.


"So it's all true... I am 100% your daughter." She whispered in awe as she stared at the test results in front of her, laying on her hospital table. "It disgusts me how Katagiri-san used us all and thought that we wouldn't do anything about it. Thank you for remembering that agreement you signed with him Mother." Kyoko told her as she leaned back into her bed.

"I think it's completely despicable that someone would use people like that." Julie fumed as she doted upon her new daughter-in-law.

Saena agreed silently.

"How do you think we feel? Had he not done that, we probably would have been together years ago and we could have avoided all of this mess in the first place." Susumu gently squeezed Saena's ring adorned hand and kissed her temple, causing her to blush like her daughter was prone to around Kuon.

"Well, you ladies have family now and family protects each other." Kuu announced. "He may be a good lawyer and have connections, but I assure you he doesn't have the clout that we do."


Sho smirked smugly as he strutted confidently down the hospital halls. She was supposed to be released from the hospital today and he was coming to pick up his future wife, surely his uncle wouldn't have a problem with that. "She thinks she can hide from me by changing her last name to Hizuri? I'm Sho Fuwa, I've got connections. How stupid can she be?" He took in a deep calming breath, it wouldn't do him any good to play all of his cards at once. He flung open the door to her room, ignoring all the occupants and strutted in. "I'm here to pick up my future bride!" He announced.

Kuu chuckled and Kuon growled.

"I think you may have the wrong room Fuwa-san." Kuu announced.

Sho shot a look to the action star and then the green-eyed blond male in the room. "Who the hell are you?" He spat out. Was he really so self-centered he didn't realize the identity of the people in the room with her? Yes...

Kuu motioned for Kuon to stay put. He knew he would kill this ass if he let him. "I'm her father-in-law and it I believe my son would disagree with you and your status in his wife's life. I'm sure her mother and father would have something to say about that also." He motioned to Saena and Susumu.

"Ah, Fuwa-san... I would like to say it's a pleasure to see you again, but I would be lying and I promised my wife and daughter there would be no more of that. However, we do have a small parting gift for you." He turned and pulled a small folder from his briefcase and handed it to the stunned singer. "I believe that Katagiri-san should be receiving a copy of this document along with all of the supporting evidence sometime today."

Sho looked down at the file in his hands. "What the hell is this?"

Saena stood and walked to her daughter's bed and sat down. "That would be a restraining order, Fuwa-san. One that had been filed two days ago along with evidence that you have been physically abusing, sexually harassing, verbally abusing and have even gone so far as to abduct Kyoko. Your uncle will also receive witness statements from five of the witnesses that saw you attack her and push her over the railing at the television station. We couldn't convince the two your uncle paid off to make a statement, but when those girls were shown your true colors, they were more than happy to assist." She gave him a smirk that reminded him of Kyoko's Natsu character he had seen on her drama, BoxR.

"I suggest you leave Fuwa." Kuon growled. "Before I have you forcibly removed from my wife's room by security."

Three large uniformed men entered the room. "Is there something you needed Hizuri-sama?" The eldest one asked.

Kyoko smiled and pointed with her uninjured hand. "Yes, could you please see that Fuwa-san is escorted out?"

"Of course Kyouko-sama." He answered and one of her biggest fans had the privilege of escorting the stalker of his favorite actress out of the hospital and onto his ass on the cold hard sidewalk in front of the hospital, kicking and screaming.


On the desk of a demonically angry lawyer lay, two marriage certificates, a DNA test, two family registries, multiple photos from several security cameras, a thick stack of witness statements attesting to a variety of abuses, phone records indicating that calls had been made at least 87 times a day to specific actress and two restraining orders. He could only sit and wonder when the lawsuits would begin. When would everything that he and his nephew had done be revealed to all of Japan? Surely those two little bitches would have an axe to grind with them, all because of his stupid nephew. He nodded to himself. Yes, that is what he would do. He couldn't erase his mistakes from the past without anyone noticing, but he could fix any that may have the potential to pop up in the future. Todoh had mentioned to him to keep the rabid little beast away from his daughter, perhaps this would buy their silence on the matter. He thought as he picked up his phone and dialed.
