Hello, this is going between the two couples again, whom I do not own. :) I couldn't stand to see them all alone in their indavidual chapters.

Kyoko seemed nervous the whole ride to the airport. Kuon was grinning. He believed she was starting to understand that this marriage thing wasn't just an act. Kuon got off to daydreaming.

Kyoko looked over and her eyes widened.

"Kuon," she moved close to him and took a tissue out of her bag and put it on his upper lip. Kuon looked confused. "Oh, ah, your nose was bleeding." she said.

Kuon looked at the tissue. Indeed there was some blood on it. 'Oops.'

"Sorry." Kuon said. "That happens sometimes."

"You should stay hydrated." Kyoko said. "If you get a bloody nose while filming a scene..."

"I'll take care of it." Kuon assured her. "It won't happen again."

Kyoko nodded and Kuon breathed in relief. 'I don't know how long I can live without her knowing how I feel.' he thought.

President Lory Takarada sighed. Kuon, Kyoko, Yukihito and Kanae would be walking in his office at any minute, but that was not why he was sighing.

'Neither couple did anything while they were on the plane.' he mentally complained. 'The best I got was Kuon and Kyoko holding hands and Yukihito helping Kanae out of her seat. Why don't any of you at least give your spouse a peck on the cheek!'

He sighed again. At least everything was where it was supposed to be.

'All will be well in three weeks. ...hopefully.'

"President, they just walked onto the property."

"Go bring them here, Sebastian." Lory said. 'And now for phase 2.' he grinned and did and evil laugh. He looked around. 'Maybe this Mafia theme is getting to me.' he thought rubbing his head.

He sat in his chair and waited.

Kuon immediately missed Kyoko's warmth by his side when she jumped out of the car as she saw Kanae. He was hoping to trick her into kissing him before they left the car.

'Oh well.' he thought. 'I'll have some time tonight I suppose.'

Kanae fell on the ground from Kyoko's hug.

"Mo!" Kanae hit Kyoko off her. "What was that for?" Kanae asked rubbing her head.

"We haven't seen each other in days, Moko-san!" Kyoko said jumping up energetically.

"It's only been a few days." Kanae objected.

"What have you been doing, Moko-San? I want to hear everything!"

"Be quiet, you're making a scene!" Kanae yelled.

Yukihito and Ren nodded silently to each other in greeting and watched their wives converse, in a very odd way.

"Sirs," Sebastian walked up. "The president would like to see you and..." he looked over to Kanae and Kyoko.

"We'll go up now." Kuon said. "Kyoko," he put a hand on her shoulder and Kyoko looked up at him. "The president wants to see all of us."

Kyoko pulled Kanae inside and Kuon and Yukihito looked at each other.

"So," Yukihito started as they walked. "How was your honeymoon?"

Kuon glared at Yukihito's hinting tone. "What about you? How was your honeymoon?"

Yukihito coughed. "I see your point. I will pry no longer."

They rode the elevators to the top floor and walked into the presidents office. The extravagant mafia theme did not faze them as they walked up to his desk. The president smiled and welcomed them.

"So, how was your vacation?" Lory asked.

"Productive." Kuon said.

The president nodded and looked at Yukihito. "And you?"

"Ah, restful." Yukihito tried.

"Also productive." Kanae said. "We know each other tolerably well now."

"Good." Lory said. "I see rings." he said leaning forward. "But Ren, Yukihito, don't you have any?"

"Not yet." Kuon said. "I need to get it fitted."

Lory turned his gaze to Yukihito.

"Um, I didn't think about it." Yukihito admitted. 'Considering I thought it was a sham to to get Ren to sign, I didn't think I would need to get one.'

"This was only stage one," the president began. "Girls, you now have men at your sides to help keep you safe, and you got to know them. The next stage is setting up a routine."

The president looked at each face before continuing.

"Here's what's going to happen: Ren, Yukihito, you will bring your wives to work every morning. Take them to your home every evening, don't leave them to go home by themselves. At least try to keep tabs on them. Don't be stalkers, just know where they are. Girls, I had your things moved to your husband's residence."

"President," Yukihito started. "You aren't planning something are you?"

"Oh, now what would I be planning? What could I possibly gain from playing matchmaker?"

"Plenty." everyone but Kyoko chimed.

"Oh! I should be hurt by how you see me!" the president said dramatically. "But I won't get into that now. You're all probably really tired. You must want some rest. You must go home. Ren, your car is in the garage. Yukihito, I have a car downstairs for you for today."

Ren got in his car and smiled as he put his hands on the wheel.

'It feels good to be home.' he thought. Considering he spent more time in the car than at his apartment...hotel room... house? It didn't matter. The point was he liked being back in his car. His smile widened when he saw Kyoko next to him.

He almost had to force her in the front seat.

"Come now," he had said "I can't have my wife sit in the back. What kind of image is that?"

Sure it was only a few moments ago, but her face was something he would not forget.

He started his car and drove down the road to his place. From now on Kyoko would always be going home with him.

'I am really liking this. I wonder how quickly I can get Kyoko to completely relax and...'

"Kuon, your nose is bleeding again." Kyoko said handing him a tissue. "If this continues you're going to have to get it checked out."

"I'll take care of it." 'Don't let that happen again!'

"Stop by the store," Kyoko said. "I want to get some food for dinner."

Yukihito and Kanae sat next to each other while the man drove to Yukihito's house. Kanae had to admit she was curious to see where the man lived.

To her great surprise the driver stopped at a house, not an apartment. It wasn't extravagant, but it wasn't shabby like her family's house.

"Not expect what you see?" Yukihito asked.

Kanae closed her open mouth. "I guess not." she said.

They took their luggage into the house and the driver left.

Kanae looked around a moment. It was neat. Not too small, rather nice.

'It's great for one person, and it can fit two people easily. Even a third if necessary.' an image played in her head and Kanae shook it away quickly.

"Something wrong?" Yukihito asked.

"No. Any idea's for dinner?" she asked.

"I have some frozen burritos." he said. Kanae gaped at him. "Oh, they're homemade," he said. "My sister bakes and I don't. She worries about me so she brings over some food she makes and puts it in my freezer."

"You just didn't seem to me like the kind of guy who would eat frozen meals." Kanae said.

"Well, the way Ren's schedule works I hardly have time to eat. When I get home I don't want to go out to eat and ordering something is a hassle sometimes."

"I see. Well, the burrito sounds pretty good." Kanae said.

Yukihito turned around then stopped and faced her again. "I suppose I should show you around." he said. "Over here's the kitchen."

Yukihito and Kanae went to the kitchen and Yukihito turned on his oven. He showed her the rest of his house.

"This is the extra bedroom..." he opened the door and his jaw dropped.

"What's wrong?" Kanae walked in the room and she stopped abruptly. She looked around. "I thought you said this was a...?"

"Well, it was my extra bedroom." Yukihito said.

"President." Kanae hissed as she looked at the Jacuzzi that practically filled the room.

"Um, I guess you're not staying in here." Yukihito said.

"I guess not. Oh well. I give up. Where's our room?" she asked.

"Down the hall." Yukihito showed her the farthest door in the hall.

Kanae took her bag and put it in the master bedroom while Yukihito put the burritos in the oven.

'This is horrible.' Kanae grimaced. 'So why do I feel relieved... almost, happy?'

Kyoko stepped into Kuon's apartment and took off her shoes. She was used to being there from when she cooked for him.

Kuon brought in the luggage and Kyoko put to groceries in the kitchen.

Kuon heard Kyoko begin to put things away and he took the opportunity to put his things away. He was going to put her things away too, but he decided she would never find anything unless she put it somewhere herself.

Kuon went out into the kitchen and leaned against the wall.

"Are you making dinner?" he asked.

"Of course." Kyoko said. "We're both hungry."

"What time will it be done?" he asked.

"About forty five minutes, maybe an hour." she responded.

"Alright. I'm going to take a shower." Kuon said walking towards the bathroom. Kyoko a long time ago had forbid him from helping her in the kitchen. It may have had something to do with Brian...

Kyoko heard the shower running and thought about the day so long ago when they were acting as brother and sister. She blushed deeply and focused on her food before she cut off her finger or something.

Kuon stepped out of the bathroom without his shirt. His excuse was he was putting his dirty one in the laundry, but he wanted to see Kyoko blush. Yeah, he was cruel.

He threw his dirty clothes in a bin. He heard a knock on the door. He opened it and Kyoko stood there.

"Dinner's done." she said barely looking at him and she ran away.

Kuon threw on a button down pajama shirt, but didn't bother to button it up.

All through dinner Kyoko was hiding a blush on her cheeks. And Kuon was basking in every moment of her discomfort.

Yukihito and Kanae had finished dinner and were watching tv. BoxR happened to be on.

They watched the show for a while. Around nine pm Yukihito cleared his throat.

"Kyoko-chan really is scary sometimes." he commented.

"You don't know the half of it." Kanae said. "I almost feel bad for Tsuruga Ren having to live with her."

"Yes, but he loves her. They'll be fine."

"And what about us?" Kanae asked. "Will we be 'fine'."

"Everything's arranged." Yukihito said. "You'll be safe, I will almost be non-existent in your image and everything will be fine in three years."

"If the president's plan doesn't work." Kanae said.

Yukihito froze. 'It already has' he thought. But he smiled "Right." he said. "If it doesn't work."

'But it has worked.' Kanae thought. 'It really has. I think- I think I might l...'

The clock chimed.

"I'm going to bed." Yukihito said. "We have an early morning. Ren drives me to work so I'll be up at six thirty. We need to be ready to go at seven thirty."

"I'll go up with you now." Kanae said. "I'm going to be up around the same time as you. I need some sleep. I'm tired." almost as to prove it she started to yawn.

They walked up the stairs and down the hall.

"There's a bathroom right here." Yukihito tapped on the door next to the master bedroom. "There's a door leading to the bedroom on the other side."

Kanae went into th bedroom and grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom. By the time she walked out she found that Yukihito was also dressed.

"You dress rather quickly." she noted.

'I don't want to wait for the bathroom.' he thought. 'Besides, if you come out earlier than I expected, I have no objection.'

"Which side do you sleep on?" she asked.

"I thought this was determined back at the hotel." Yukihito saw taking off his glasses.

Kanae got in the bed and Yukihito turned off the light. She felt when he got in the bed with her and she immediately wanted to move closer to him.

'I will not let my habits of cuddling with my nieces come back now! I must not move from this spot.' But she adjusted her position and just happened to move a little closer to the man. 'This is ridiculous.' Kanae thought. 'It's like I'm playing a game!'

She heard Yukihito's soft even breathing and she moved close to him. She rester her head on his arm and breathed in his scent.

'I could get used to this.' she thought and fell asleep.

As Kuon and Kyoko finished their meal Kuon did the dishes, as usual and Kyoko, who usually sat in the living room waiting for him to take her home, went to get changed.

She dressed herself, glad Kuon hadn't touched her bags. She walked out of the bathroom and saw all the lights were out except the hall and the bedroom. Her heart was thumping in her chest, she didn't know why.

She turned out the hall light and walked into the bedroom. Kuon was closing the blinds. He looked over.

"Get in bed, I'll join you in a moment." he said.

Kyoko jumped in quickly and covered her head with the blankets.

Kuon smirked.

Kyoko breathed deeply. She was surrounded by the scent of Kuon. She smiled. And relaxed in the bed.

She felt Kuon get in on the other side of the bed. She felt the covers lift from her head.

"Don't tell me you're going to sleep like that all night?" she heard Kuon chuckle.

Kyoko straightened herself out. It was dark now, Kuon had turned out the lights. She heard Kuon's soft even breathing.

'He's asleep already.' she thought. She felt an arm snake around her waist and she clamped a hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. 'He's asleep. Let him sleep. He must be very tired.'

Kuon pulled her close and was careful not to take a deep breath. If she knew he was really awake she would jump away.

'I'll deal with her giddiness in the morning. Tomorrow I'll tell her. We'll see how far I can push my luck.'

Kyoko snuggled close into Kuon's embrace.

'I'm sorry for always taking advantage of you, sempai.' Kyoko thought. 'You're always doing so much for me. Even now. I am decided, I will do anything I can for you. I really will make you the perfect wife, even if I have to act the whole time.'

Kyoko has made a promise to herself... but can she keep it?

Kanae is falling in love? Oh boy. This could be interesting.

Kuon might not be able to control himself much longer.

Yukihito is learning what it means to restrain himself.

Oh the things I do to entertain you readers. :)

Kyoko, Kanae and Yukihito glare at me. Ren is smiling (evilly)

Me: What? I got to do something.

Ren: but did you really have to force us into marriage?

Me: that's the plot line. You should see what I have for you next...

Yukihito: but honestly, couldn't you have left Kanae and I out of it?

Me: I could have, but what's the fun in that? I love torturing you characters!

Everyone glares and I begin backing up.

Me: um, guys? You know I still like you right? This is just for some fun.

Everyone keeps stepping forward. G2L turns and runs for life.

Me: HELP ME!

Everyone: GET THAT WRITER!

Me: HHHEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP!

Lol, couldn't help it. Anyways that burrito thing is actually something I do. I can cook and bake. I have many siblings, we make a lot of food and then freeze it. EG Burritos, Taqitos, chedder dates (sounds weird but tatse great!), pie, curry sauce, pizzas, chicken broth etc. yum. :)
