Family's Reaction

Takarada and Yashiro were watching the interview from the sidelines. Sebastian was standing behind them holding a small video camera.

'I wonder why Maria wanted a recording of Lory's and Yashiro's reactions.' Sebastian gave a mental shrug and turned the video camera on.

Yashiro had his hands clasped in front of his chest imitating a female high schooler. He was doing his utmost to not squeal out loud. 'This is so perfect! Ren, I'm so happy for you. You and Kyoko both deserve this!' He took a steadying breath and unclasped his hands. Now if anyone were to look at him they would only see the very organized manager of Tsuruga Ren.

However Takarada wasn't fooled. He could feel the excited energy radiating off of the man standing next to him. 'I bet Yukihito is more excited about this interview than anyone else.' He thought with a slight chuckle. 'Maybe I should tell him to take it down a notch or two.'

Just then the opening music started to play and the stage lights came on.

'Seems to be a fairly standard so far.' Takarada thought after a few minutes. He smirked, 'if you count the Heel siblings then they definitely have been dating for at least two months. Just how many times has Kyoko gone to Kuon's place to cook him dinner? I'll have to ask Yukihito later. Hmmm. I wonder if I even need to be here.' He was just about to turn around to signal Sebastian when the interview took an unexpected turn. 'Did Chieko just ask them about marriage!?' Takarada looked at the stage stunned with his mouth hanging.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow when he saw Takarada's expression. He had moved to the side to get a better video of Takarada and Yashiro. 'Well this should entertain Maria. I didn't even know that Lory could make such a face.' He glanced at Yashiro and had to suppress a smirk. 'Did these two really not think of this as a possibility? Maria, I'm glad that you persuaded me to bring a camera for this.'

'It is a good thing that Ren finally made a move. Now that Box R is showing Kyoko-chan is going to have many more male fans. Some of whom I bet will be other actors.' Yashiro thought with a smirk. 'If he had waited any longer Kyoko-chan might have been snatched away from him.

'Is that really all that they have done for date so far? Home cooked meals? I know that they have technically only been dating for about two weeks. However, Ren you should be able to come up with more than that!' Yashiro shook his head. 'I almost feel like crying. That guy has dated before, right? I better make a note to give Ren some tips.'

Yashiro had pulled out his notebook and had started writing when he froze. He quickly looked up at the stage, letting his notebook fall to the floor. 'They're already talking about marriage!?' He's eyes got big and sparkly. He looked as though he was about to jump up and down cheering. 'This is wonderful! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I can't even hold it in!'

Takarada was brought out of his paralyzed type state when he heard a loud thump next to him. He looked over and frowned when he didn't see Yashiro next to him. He then looked down and was shocked again. 'He fainted? I've see Yukihito do some very intense fangirling but this is the first time I've actually seen him faint.' He glanced up at Sebastian who gave him a small nod before moving closer.

'It's a good thing I put the camera away right after Yashiro fainted. This is one video that Lory doesn't need to know about.' Sebastian stepped closer to Yashiro and picked him up. He slung Yashiro over his shoulder like a fireman would.

"You should take him to a the dressing room."

Sebastian nodded and left.

'I wish that I could be there to see Yukihito's expression when he wakes back up. I have a feeling that it would be a very good one for a picture.' Takarada chuckled as he turned his attention back to the interview.

The interview ended just a couple minutes later. Ren and a very pink Kyoko stepped down from the stage and made their way to Takarada.

Kuon came to the surface once they were standing next to Takarada. "Boss, did you have anything to do with the marriage questions?" His face was unreadable, while his voice seemed to be a mixture of exasperation and amusement.

"While I am all for you two getting married right now, I had nothing to do with those questions. I was just as shocked about them as both of you were. Though, whether you believe me or not is entirely you're own choice."

Kuon didn't looked convinced but didn't press the issue. Instead he turned to Kyoko and took her hand, causing her to look up at him. "Are you okay?"

She nodded.

Kuon smiled, "Glad that its over?"

"Yes. I was so nervous."

"I know but its over now. And see? Nothing went wrong."

"B-b-but what a-about when Chieko-san asked about us g-getting..."

"Getting married," Kuon helpfully supplied.

Kyoko nodded again.

"I'll admit I was shocked at her asking about that. However that doesn't mean that the idea is unpleasant. I do want to marry you Kyoko but not this quickly. I want this relationship to be special. For us to do things on our own way, in our own time. Understand?"

Kyoko had gotten even pinker while Kuon was talking and all she could do was stare at him with wide eyes.

Kuon gave a small sigh. He glanced at Takarada and instantly wished he hadn't said anything until he and Kyoko were alone.

Takarada looked at them smiling with his eyes full of tears. 'Kuon, that was beautiful! I could cry. If only Kuu and Julie were here to see this.'

Before Takarada could say anything Kuon lead Kyoko out of the sound stage and into the hall. 'That boy moves too fast.' Takarada thought shaking his head, his eyes once again dry. 'I think that the party is going to have to be moved up. Which means I have a few phone calls to make.' He pulled out his phone and started walking toward the exit. When he was in the room he talked with Chieko in earlier he hit one of his speed dials and waited for the person to answer.

Kuu was sitting on the sofa with and was snacking on some popcorn from large bowl in front of him. Julie walked in carrying two glasses of water. She set them on the coffee table and sat down next to Kuu. He put his arm around her shoulders.

"I'm so excited!" Julie told her husband. "We aren't talking to them but we get to see our children in real time!"

Kuu smiled and kiss Julie's cheek. "I'm excited, too. And just think we will get to see them in real life in just a few days."

"I can't wait to finally hold my baby boy again! Or to actually see Kyoko face to face! When I see her I'm going to give her the biggest hug she's ever had. I'm going to take her shopping and to get her nails done! We'll have mother/daughter nights and-"

'I hate to stop her but the interview is starting.' "Julie, I really do want to hear all of your plans just maybe not now. The interview is starting."

Julie was instantly silent with her eyes glued to the screen.

Kuu chuckled slightly. 'Almost exactly the same as when I brought back that video message from Kuon.' He kissed Julie on the cheek again and turned to watch the interview.

They were both silent during it until near the end.

"They better not get married today!" Julie shouted angrily. She got up and started pacing around. "How could our children get married without us there!? I'm going to Japan right now to smack some sense into Kuon!"

"Julie, wait!" Kuu said quickly as he got up from the couch and grabbed Julie's hand. "They aren't getting married today. Kuon said that they want to wait to get married. Of course we'll be there when they get married. You're going to be the one to make Kyoko's wedding dress after all." He gently pulled Julie back to the couch and they sat down again. "Also I won't let anyone else escort our daughter down the isle."

Right then Kuu's phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the screen. Seeing who it was he quickly put it on speaker phone and answered. "Hello, Boss. How can I help you?"

"You and Julie need to pack your bags. You're coming to Japan today."

Julie was back up and out of the room in a heartbeat. Kuu looked after her in bemusement for a moment before taking his phone off of speaker phone and talking to Takarada again. "You have certainly made Julie's day. May I ask why were are coming to Japan on such short notice?"

"Are you complaining?"

"Of course not!" Kuu practically shouted. "I just want to make sure that everything is alright. We weren't supposed to be there for another week."

"Everything is fine you don't need to worry. We're just moving up the party that's for Ren and Kyoko. It is now going to be the day after tomorrow. My private jet will be there in about eleven hours. You will be getting here around ten tomorrow morning."

"In that case I should go help Julie pack!" Kuu said enthusiastically as he hurried out of the living room. "Thank you, Boss."

"You're welcome," Takarada said with a slight chuckle. "I'll see you two tomorrow." With that parting phrase he hung up the phone.
