Everyone froze when they heard the shot. Kuu yelled and jumped from the roof onto the balcony then toward the ground. Julie screamed and followed him. Kuon laid there shocked.
Lory spat out his drink and leapt from his chair. Kanae screamed and fell to the floor with tears falling down her cheeks. Chiori dropped her mop and stumbled back into the wall, slid down and buried her face in her knees. Yashiro yelled and stood up. "Kyoko-chan!" Kizu silently stood in front of the TV before turning and punching the wall. "Get up Kyoko." Sho growled and kicked the chair next to him into the wall. "Get up Kyoko!"
Kuon, slowly brought his hands up and wrapped them around his silent girlfriend. "...Ky..o..ko?" He slowly felt along her back and up to her neck. He froze when he felt where the bullet had hit her. But breathed a sigh when he didn't feel any blood. He gently rolled her off of him and felt her pulse. It was there...just a little slower then normal.
He froze when he heard the gun being cocked again. His eyes narrowed. "You put your finger on that trigger dipshit and I will cut it off." He warned in a dark voice.
The guy just laughed. "I have waited for this moment for fifteen years." Kuon locked gazes with him and slowly stood up. "You look familiar. Have we met before?"
The guy lifted the gun and pointed it at him. "You were just a sick brat back then." Kuon tilted his head to the side and smiled. "Ah. Didn't I break you knee last time?"
"And knocked out a few teeth." He placed his hand on the trigger. Kuon just stood there smiling. "Do it, if you dare." His finger pulled back and Kuon disappeared. The gun whent off right as Kuon placed his hand under his hand and shoved it upwards.
The guy paled with his face right in front of him. Kuon gave him a dark look. "You made a big mistake shooting my girlfriend." He brought his leg up and kneed him hard in the ribs. The guy fell to the floor gasping. Kuon bent down and picked the gun up. He cocked it and pointed it down at his head. The guy shook.
Kuu ran toward him while Julie knelt to check on Kyoko. He placed his hand on his shoulder. "Don't do it son." Kuon looked at him and the guy smiled. He jumped up and kicked the gun out of Kuon's hands. Father and son sighed before they each brought a leg up and kicked him backwards. He landed right where Kyoko had been laying not two seconds earlier.
Suddenly he was lifted up and then slammed back into the ground. "I don't take kindly to people shooting me."
Kyoko smiled her Mio/Natsu smile down at him. "Please stay down or you might get hurt." The guy didn't listen. He made to get up but she jumped and brought her leg down hard on his back then sat on him. She pulled his leg up and bent it backwards. The guys yelped. She just smiled. "I did try to warn you." The guy reached back to punch her but she jumped up and twisted mid air, landing lightly on her feet. "Hup!"
She smirked as the guy stood up and ran. "I do love it when my prey run." She jogged lightly after him before jumping up and wrapping her legs around his neck and twisting around on her hands. "And the cycle goes spiiiin." She spun him around a few times before letting go and he flew into a tree. She jumped back to her feet, pulled out her tranq gun and fired. "Please sleep a little longer." The dart hit him in his Adam's apple and he slumped forward.
Matt ran over to them and quickly cuffed the guy. Kuon pulled her into a tight hug. She winced. He looked her over and quickly pulled the vest off. He saw the whole where it had hit and gone through her shirt. He quickly unbuttoned the shirt midway and busted out laughing. Kuu turned to them in shock, before he too burst out laughing. Kyoko was wearing another vest underneath.
Julie smiled at Kyoko. "See dear, I told you wearing two vests would come in handy." Kyoko smiled before wincing again. Kuon stopped laughing and laid his forehead against hers. "Never and I mean never do that again. You scared the hell out of me."
She nodded and he kissed her cheek before pulling her into another hug. "Ah!" She gasped and pulled away holding her side. Kuon quickly sat her down and unbuttoned the rest of her shirt. He pulled it off and hissed. There was the bullet lodged at least three fourths inside the vest. Julie lifted her shirt to protect her from wondering eyes while Kuon unfastened the vest.
He slowly pulled it off and winced. His hand came up and slowly trailed the side of her ribs. She winced and gasped again. Julie looked down and gasped. "Oh sweetie!" Kuon looked at his girlfriend. "We are taking you to the hospital. Jo arguments." Kyoko tried to twist around to look at him but he stopped her. "How bad?" "Let's just say that you would be dead right now if that bullet had gone a millimeter further."
He held the vest up to her. "See, the bullet is pushing against the inside. That right there is what saved you from having a bullet enter you and doing massive un repairable damage to your organs. You would have bled out in less than two minutes."
He flagged Matt down and Julie slowly helped her back into her shirt. He held the vest up and handed it to him. "There's the bullet. We need to get Kyoko to the hospital. Massive bruising on her right side. I don't know if any of her ribs are cracked or not."
Matt nodded. "Do you want to drive her yourself, or have the paramedics take her?"
Kuon looked at his girlfriend gasping with ever move she made then at the paramedics. "Let them take her. I will rode with them." Matt nodded and flagged them over. Kuon knelt down. "Babe?" She turned to look at him. "The paramedics are going to take you to the hospital. I will be riding with you. I need to know though if you are allergic to any medications."
She slowly shook her head and closed her eyes. He reached forward and steadied her as she swayed. "No...allergies." He nodded and slowly bent down and picked her up, careful of her bruised ribs. He laid her out on the stretcher and watched as she got loaded into the back before climbing in after her.
Kuu turned to him. "Call when you find out where they are taking her to." Kuon nodded right as they shut the door. Julie turned to her husband and sagged against him. "Kuu?" He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her hair. "Yeah honey?" "How soon till we can move?"
He was about to answer when his phone rang. "Hell-"
KRKRKRKR KRKRKRKR KRKRKRKR
Lory paced his office while the phone rang. "Hell-" "What the hell is going on Hizuri Kuu?! I want answers now! Is everyone alright? How is Mogami-kun doing? Why was she carted off in an ambulance?"
Kuu held the phone away from him and cleaned his ear. "It's the boss." He whispered to Julie as he looked around. "Ah." He spoted the camera crew and walked over toward them. "Can you see me know boss?" He asked as he waved into the camera.
"You look like an ass Kuu. But yes I can. Everyone in all of Japan can see you. They saw everything. Please explain what is going on."
Kuu sighed and looked at the newscaster. She nodded and motioned for him to speak. Julie came up and stood next to him, offering silent support. He took a deep breath and began. "Everyone, sorry for making you worry. Yesterday fans over ran our home and endangered our family. We spent the night in a safe house. This morning we made the decision to take back the house. We all wore protective gear and used tranquilizer guns. Unfortunately a couple of the people that did not head our warning were people who wanted revenge from several years back. They tried to kill Kuon, but Kyoko saved him. She was shot in the process. Thankfully the bullent didn't penetrate the skin. It did however hit her with such firce that it went through not one but nearly both of the vests she was wearing. It bruised the ribs on her right side. We do not know anything else at this time, we will let you know when we get more details."
He looked down at his wife and nodded. She turned to the camera and spoke. "We are pleased to let you know that we will be moving back to Japan when Kuu and I have finished everything here. We need a vacation and will be taking a year off of filming in America. We decided to move to be closer to our family. Please support us as we move."
They bowed and walked toward the house. Kuu lifted the phone back to his ear. "That answer your questions boss?"
Lory sighed. "You Hizuris never do anything by the halves do you."
Kuu chuckled wearily and said, "Boss... I was right when I said that Kyoko was going to be scary as she grew."
"How do you mean?"
"I mean, today was the first day she had ever held or fired a gun. She was shooting like a pro. She was even fighting with bruised ribs."
Lory laughed. "Ah yes... She is a special one. Now hurry up and give me deatails on how she is when you get them. I will then handle the press on this side."
"Thanks Boss. Oh, I have to go, Minato is on the other line." He disconnected the call and answered Minato's. Once again he held the phone away from his ear. "What the fucking hell Kuu?! You let my daughter fight and get injured! You have some fucking explaining to do before I come kick your stupid ass all the way to Japan and then back!"
Kuu turned to his wife. "My bad, it's Kizu. I forgot that Minato gave him his old phone."
"Are you listening to me Hizuri Kuu!?"
"Yeah yeah.. Keep your damn short on you old prat. Neither Kyoko nor Kuon were supposed to be here this morning. Julie and I left without telling them. They showed up and immediately got prepared. Now stop tying up my phone, Kuon will be calling shortly to let me know how she is doing."
Kizu sighed. "Fine. Let me know the moment you hear from him."
Kuu nodded and smiled. "Of course old friend. You will be the first person I call."
"Even before the President?"
The actor chuckled. "He isn't human. He is an overgrown cupid in adult clothing."
"I heard that Kuu!"
Kuu jumped and looked at his phone. "Wha! I thought I disconnected the call."
"Apparently not. Hello President."
"Kizu. While I have you both on the line, Kuu, when do you and Julie plan on moving back?"
"Hopefully around Christmas, if not right after the new year. My last job ends December 23. Julie's the 22. It just depends on how fast we can get everything packaged and shipped over."
"Do you two have a place to stay at?"
Kuu sighed and nodded. "I inherited my grandfather's place when he died. I just haven't been there to look at it in about eleven years."
"Grandfather?"
"Chief of Police Huzunari Tokomae."
KRKRKRKR KRKRKRKR KRKRKRKR
"T...t...To..Toko..mae?!" Lory screamed into the phone shocked. "THE Huzunari Tokomae? The badest Chief of Police ever?!"
"Um...if you say so. I never really knew him."
"The Huzunari Tokomae that founded the training academy for the Special Police? And who also founded the two biggest franchised gyms all over Japan?!"
"Um... I honestly do not know. Like I said... I barely knew the guy. The last I saw of him was when he threw mother and I out when I was seven. That was the last I saw until I got a call saying that he had died."
Lory sighed and sat back down in his chair. "Okay.. So you and Julie are going to be staying there. Do you know what all needs to be done with it?"
"No. No one has been in it for eleven years."
"Okay. How about I grab a few people and we take a look at it. I will let you know."
"Thanks Boss. I appreciate it. Oh, Kuon is calling Julie's cell. I need to go. I will contact the realator's office and let them give you a key. I will call you back in a few minutes. Goodbye!"

Sho walked into the LME building and spotted two girls dressed in pink overalls sobbing. One in the middle of the floor and one against the wall. He sighed, knelt down in front of the one that was in the middle of the walkway and picked her up. People immediately got out of his was and watched as he carried her to one of the couches. She didn't even react as he laid her on it. He then went to the other and and did the same. He then sat down across from them and put his elbows on his knees.
Yashiro walked into the building in casual clothes and noticed everyone was silent and watching a group in the corner with pitying eyes. He looked and saw the people that he wanted to see. He made his way over to them and greeted Sho who nodded in his direction but said nothing. He sat down in the chair next to him. "Any word Fuwa-san?"
Sho shook his head and bowed it. His shoulders slumped. "None. Hizuri-san made an announcement saying that the bullet didn't penetrate her, but she does have bruised ribs and is going to the hospital for further evaluation. Tsuruga went with her."
Yashiro nodded. "Has the president said anything?"
Sho just shook his head again and looked to the floor. His eyes not focusing on anything. He looked up when he saw Chiori shiver and shrugged his jacket off. He walked over and wrapped it around her shoulder before sitting back down.
"Hey, who made Kanae cry?" A boy asked walking over to them. "Whoever did, I will kick their butts."
Yashiro looked at him. You must be Hio-kun?"
Hio nodded. "Yes. And you are?"
"Yashiro Yukihito, Tsuruga Ren's manager and Mogami Kyoko,'s temporary manager."
"Aaah... You know the demon lady then?"
Yashiro looked at him before chuckling. "Kyoko-chan can be a demon sometimes." Sho snorted. "Please. Every time I have seen her in the past two years she has scared the crap out of me."
"And who are you? You're not part of this agency?" Hio turned to him.
Sho lifted an eyebrow. "Fuwa Sho, musician. Akotaki agency."
"Then why are you here? And why is Kanae crying!" He knelt next to Kanae who was curled up in a ball and placed a hand on her shoulder.
Yashiro looked at him. "Do you truly not know what is going on?"
Hio looked around and noticed for the first time that it was quiet. The normally busy loud building was quiet. People were just standing there. He turned to Yashiro. "I have been out of the country since the Awards Ceremony. Tell me what all has happened."
Sho snorted. "Tsuruga Ren is actually the son of Hizuri Kuu. He and Kyoko are childhood friends. Those two have been dating since the Awards Ceremony. They are in L.A. on vacation with his parents. Fans went crazy, over ran the house. The four of them tranqued nearly seventy crazed fans. And somebody tried to kill Tsuruga. Kyoko saved him but ended up getting shot. Thankfully she was wearing two protective vest and the bullet didn't penetrate her skin. All we know is that she has bruised ribs due to the force of impact. We are waiting for more information."
Kanae sniffed and started to shake. Hio looked lost before he took his jacket off, gently picked her up and sat down. He laid her head in his lap and covered her with his jacket. Yashiro pulled his phone out and took a picture. "What was that for Yashiro-san?!" Hio asked blushing.
Yashiro just took another picture and smirked. "Just something cute to show Kyoko-chan when she gets back. Sho let out a short chuckle then went back to staring at the floor. Conversation died down. Yashiro crossed his legs and arms before tilting his head back and looking up at the ceiling. Hio sat there and ran his fingers through Kanae's hair. She slowly calmed down to where she was barely crying. Chiori looked around at the group and slowly made her way to where Sho was. She sat down on the floor, pulled her legs up to her chest and leaned against his chair. He looked at her and sighed before pulling the jacket more securely around her.
Yashiro smiled softly and took a couple pictures of them. Sho caught him and glared at him. They looked up when Shoko walked in and headed over to them. She satin the seat between the two of them and handed him a power bar. "You haven't eaten in several hours Sho. I know you are worried about Kyoko-chan, but you need to keep up your strength."
Sho sighed, but took the bar. He turned it over in his hands before setting it on the table in front of him. "Sorry Shoko-san. I don't think I will be able to stomach it right now." She just nodded and pulled some tea from her bag. She placed several cans on the table. "Everyone please...help yourself."
Hio looked at them. "I don't know about you guys but the press are outside wanting to come in. I don't think that the girls would want them to be seen like this."
Sho turned to Yashiro and stood up. "Love Me room?" He nodded. "Follow me." Sho bent down and helped Chiori up then walked over to Hio, "I'll carry her." He nodded and let sho pick her up. She just mumbled and buried her face in his shoulder. Shoko gathered up the supplies that she had bought and Hio helped her. They quickly made their way to the back right as the press entered the building.
Yashiro held the door open for them and closed it after they had entered. Hio sat down in the couch and Sho laid Kanae down. Shoko set everything on the table. Chiori grabbed a blanket out of the closet and laid it over Kanae before she sank down in a chair and laid her head down. Yashiro sat down next to Shoko while Sho sat next to Chiori.
Sho reached into his pocket and pulled out a deck of cards. "Anyone else have a better way to pass the time?"

Lory sighed as he hung up the phone. Kyoko was fine. No cracked ribs or internal bleeding. She will just be very sore for the next few days. They were going to keep her in the hospital for a few more hours to double check and make sure that everything was okay. She should be home within a few hours.
He stood up and walked out of his office. His secretary turned to him and held up a stack of paper. "All the calls we have been getting asking about Kyoko and Ren. I told that we do not know much but that you would be making an official announcement later when you receive more information."
He nodded. "Thank you June. Do you know where I might find Kotonami-san and Amamiya-san?"
June nodded. "I believe that they are all in the Love Me office."
"All? Who all are with them?"
"Let's see, Hio-kun, Yashiro-san, that musician Fuwa Sho and his manager Shoko. They have been in there ignoring the press that is camped out in our lobby for the past couple of hours. Kanae-chan didn't look good when I checked up on them earlier."
Lory nodded. "Would you please tell the press that I will be making an announcement in twenty minutes after I have informed the girls first."
She nodded and they made their way down to the elevator. He took the back elevator, while she took the one near the entrance.
He sighed and took a deep breath as he raised his hand and knocked on the office door. It was opened by Yashiro.
Yashiro sighed in relief when he saw the president. He opened the door wider and let him in.
"Grandfather!" Maria called from her seat next to Sho. "Please tell us you have good information regarding onee-sama."
Everyone looked at him and he smiled. "She is just bruised. She will be sore for the next several days but is expected to make a full recovery."
Everyone breathed a sigh if relief. Lory looked at them then at the empty tea bottles. "You are all more then welcome to stay here and have dinner. I will have some food ordered and brought to you while I go meet the press."
"Thank you President." Everyone said. He nodded and looked to where Kanae was laying, staring off into space. How long has she been like this?"
"Since Kyoko was shot." Chiori replied quietly. "She was sobbing for an hour straight earlier. We were able to get her to drink some tea earlier, but she just laid back down and stared at nothing."
Lory nodded, stood up and grabbed a water bottle.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR YOU PERVERTED PRESIDENT?!"
Lory laughed and ran out. He felt much better.

Kuon sat next to the bed and held Kyoko's hand as she slept. Kuu quietly knocked on the door as he entered. He placed a hand on his son's shoulder. "I'll sit with her son. You can go get something to eat from the cafeteria."
"I'm not hungry d-"
"That wasn't a suggestion son. Your body needs nourishment and you can't do anything while she is asleep." "I can be here for her when she wakes up."
"Considering the drugs they gave her...that could be a couple of hours from now. I will sit with her while you go show your mother and sister that you are okay."
"Dad I-"
"Now Kuon. Just go grab a sandwich or something then come back."
Kuon sighed and stood up. "You will let me know-" "-the moment she awakens. Yes of course. Now go." Kuu literally shoved Kuon out then room and shut the door. "Stubborn as your mother you are."
He sighed and sat down in the chair and held her hand. "Thank you Kyoko, for saving my son in more ways than one." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "I think you found your Tsukasa. Don't worry, I won't tell Kuon."
A/N': YAY! It took me most of the night but I DID IT!
Kyoko is fine...ish.
I had to put some sort of action scene that shows Kyoko fighting and figuring out how to portray Tsukasa.
Um...anyway...yeah... That's it. Next chapter will be happier. Yay! No idea when I will update...
Please read and review! Thanks!
