AN: Its been years but somehow I felt motivated to write again.
I have grown up, so its easier for me to write about matured feelings. Story tags might change. The characters are aduts. I am just trying to figure out if I am capable of writing steamy scenes :v
Will anyone even read this? At this point its more about me finishing what I started on a whim as a freshmen. I feel like an old lady :v
I don't own any of these characteres.
Time seemed to stand still while they kissed. Kyoko's head swam with the overwhelming sense of being consumed. Because that's what it felt like being kissed by Kuon, there was no room to think of anything else, no room to think period. She didn't even question what was happening, a part of her that came to admire him over the course of these few weeks just felt giddy to be showered with the attention. It took all but two seconds for her to get on her tiptoes to kiss him back.
The moment Kyoko came alive in his arms, Kuon decided that this was it for him. No more denying himself of what he truly wanted.
He wanted her.
It wasn't love, how could it be love when the very thought of her not being with him, kissing someone else made him furious.
He will take her, no question about it, whether she liked it or not.
Does it matter if she was pursuing someone else? Not one bit.
Did he need to tie her down? That could be arranged.
She could be unhappy being with him, so what?
She would be with him.
He felt her hands wrapping around him, molding herself to his frame and God!! She just felt so good, so right, so intoxicating.
Fools, every single one of them, who crossed this woman's path and didn't take her for themselves. But he won't make that stupid mistake. If its just lust so be it.
If its just possessiveness, even better.
People got married for even less.Yes, thats it, he will bind her to him, legally. Oh how he has fallen, the very idea of Kyoko being his wife, living with him, being with him made him grab her with more force.
Kyoko winced at the sudden change in Kuon's demeanor. At the sound Kuon loosened his grip and broke the kiss.
Kyoko suddenly realized that she wasn't properly breathing and gasped.
"You need to breath. It's okay we have all the time in the world to practice." Kuon smirked realizing her lack of experience. Startled, Kyoko looked at him with questioning eyes, the gravity of his words suddenly dawning on her.
None of them realized the audience that they had for this exchange.They both were so immersed in each other that only a thundering voice yelling at them broke them apart.
"What do you think you are doing!!", Tatsuya, Kyoko's dad exclaimed.
Kuon reluctantly let go of Kyoko's face. Her eyes were glazed over and after a few seconds realized that her dad walked in on her kissing the demon lord!!! Of all people!
She whipped her head around and tried to get away from Kuon who seemed to have the opposite idea.
She looked at him with disbelief that even in this situation he held onto her waist, keeping her close to his side, looking onto both their dads as Kuu was holding Kyoko's dad back.
"Kuon, explain yourself this instant! Are you two together?" Kuu asked, his voice sounding rational in comparison.
"Yes, me and Kyoko, we just confessed our love for each other", Kuon replied, making Kyoko gasp in horror. He lied so smoothly that for a sec even she believed it.
"Kyoko is that true?", her dad asked, looking intently at her.
Before she could reply, Kuon interjected,
"The truth is, I confessed. I have been feeling this way for a while now and seeing how my brother was happy, made me want to be honest with my feelings. Thankfully she feels the same and was generous enough to give me a chance to be with her".
Tatsuya looked at his daughter again, as if willing her to say Kuon was lying. So that he can take her back to his side, he didn't like the possessive hold this boy had on his daughter.
Kyoko tried again to create some distance between Kuon and her, that made him grab her even harder, smiling at her and whispering, "If you don't want me to tell everyone what really happened and tell my brother to call off the engagement, you better play along Kyo-ko".
Kyoko's blood ran cold at the threat. She teared up in panic and looked at her dad.
"Outo-san, I love him!", she said quiely and brust into tears. All of them were shocked a her sudden reaction. Kuon loosened his grip on her and as soon as she was able to be free she ran to her dad and hugged him, still bawling her eyes out. Tatsuya tried to calm her down but he was always useless when his daughters cried. He looked panicked, but Kuu suddenly took over. He patted Kyoko on her head and told her reassuring words.
"Well if you are not completely against it, I would like to make it official Tsubasa-san." Kuon said steadily.
"I would like your blessings to court and marry your daughter, as soon as she is willing to have me", he declared.
There was a small scream of joy from the entrance and all 4 of them realized that Julie just walked in on her sons confession, followed by Umeko.
She hurried towards Kyoko who was now crying even harder after Kuon declared his intention for her.
Kyoko couldn't understand why, why would he do such a thing. This just got so out of hand. He wants to marry her? What the actual fuck?!
Tatsuya let his wife take Kyoko from him and walk towards Kuon, he grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Boy, do you realize what you are asking? Kyoko is very precious to us. If any part of you is not sure about this, you better stop right here. I will not hand over my daughter to some punk with half assed infatuation".
He looked straight at Tatsuya, with resolution and conviction, he felt it in his bones. "I want to marry your daughter, please give us your blessings".
Tatsuya seemed to contemplate for a minute and then he patted Kuon's shoulders, nodding as the sign off approval.
Kuon looked at his mother who had happy tears in her eyes and ran to hug her baby boy as soon as Tatsuya moved away.
"Mom, can I have your ring?", Kuon asked, wiping of his mother's tears and letting his dad hold her instead.
"Of course honey, this feels like a dream come true", Julie said, handing her engagement ring to her son.
It was the simplest of all her jewelry. Kuu proposed with his mother's ring, his dad was not as wealthy as Yashiro Chiho so he saved up to propose. It was a simple oval shaped stone with vine patterns on the band.
Kuon knelt down infront of Kyoko holding out his hand silently. "Mom, please hold onto me, I don't think I have strength in my legs", Kyoko whispered desperately. Her legs almost gave up, looking at Kuon kneeling in front of her.
This was so wrong, but everything felt so right at the same time.
She couldn't deny the attraction she felt for Kuon. like a moth to a flame. She liked how he made her feel seen, made her feel alive. But she hated how he had complete control over the situation, things always went how he wanted it. Even right now, a part of her wanted this to be true, that he was there in front of her, kneeling for the right reasons.
Marriage for her was forever.
She knew it in her bones that she would love her husband and that she wanted her husband to love her. Didn't have to be explosive, just had to be resilient like her parents' love for one another.A man loving her, like her dad loved her mom, like Kuu loved Juliana, like Yukihito downstairs, not being able to take his eyes off her sister.
Kuon didn't love her. The way he holds her or kissed her might express him being attracted to her but he doesn't love her.
On the contrary, he might just hate her now. He jumped into the worst conclusion in this whole Satoshi mess.
Her hand trembled when she reached out to hold Kuon's hand. Kuon didn't ask her to marry him when he sliped the ring on her finger.
He didn't ask anything at all.
He simply stated, "Now, with this, you are mine"
The ring fit perfectly, Kuon's lips on her hand felt even more perfect.
He stood up and pulled her to him, all the while their parents hugged and cheered around them.
"We will give you a moment my babies", Julie told them and ushered the other three out of the terrace. After they left and were out of earshot, Kuon let go of her hand and backed Kyoko up against the railings.
Kyoko was trying to look anywhere else but Kuon's face. He tilted her face and leaned in."You didn't think I would actually propose did you? You have no idea the lengths I would go to, to make sure you stay away from the bustard downstairs".
Kyoko looked startled. "I thought you didn't believe me"
"Oh I don't not believe you. You might not even have done that on purpose. But that man definitely wants you. He is going to get what's coming from him for sure. My sister deserves better than that. But that doesn't mean I trust you. You seem to have a knack for seducing men that are simply not available".
"I didn't seduce anyone. That man lied, never even mentioned he was married, to your sister of all people."
"I don't really care anymore sweetheart".
The endearment made Kyoko blush until her ears were red, amusing Kuon.
"You are going to marry me," he added.
"It can't be forever, we don't have that relationship"
"You aren't going anywhere. I am sorry if you thought that I am going to marry you just because. I am taking you, forever. You are going to learn how to live with me, be the perfect loving wife, maybe even the perfect mother to my children. I was prepared to have an arrangement anyway, so I will just think that this is just an arrangement I made. Do your best to stay out of my way, don't expect me to love you for real Kyoko. Loveless marriages are a thing, but I will make sure you don't go around breaking other people's marriages".
Kyoko was at a loss of words. She didn't know what to say to this. Kuon was intently looking at her lips. It made her subconsciously lick them. Kuon leaned in as if to kiss her again."You should be prepared to act like a loving fiancé when we are around family, my colleagues and the few friends I have. You step out of line Kyoko and you will regret it. Yes it is a threat."
"Why?" Kyoko whispered, his words bringing fresh tears to her eyes.
"You don't want to know the truth, what really goes on in my head when I look at you. What I truly want, because it will make you want to run away from me. That will be the last thing you will ever do."
He then kissed her soundly on the right cheek.
"You keep touching me" Kyoko said, breathlessly.
"You should get used to it. Don't like it? Well too bad, because I will not let anyone for a second doubt that we are not in love with each other. The sooner you get used to it the better."
With that Kuon let her go and grabbed her hand to join the family downstairs.
There were cheers and hugs as soon as they reached the living room.
Kanae however was concerned and took Kyoko aside to ask her if this was what she wanted. How long has this been going on and why didn't she tell her.
"I didn't know how he felt about me", Kyoko said softly. She still couldn't believe what was happening.
Yuki walked to them soon as she sort of explained what happened, "Congratulations Kyoko-Chan, I think I should get to call you that as my lil brother is finally getting his happy ending with you. I believe you would be able to make him really happy."
"Lets go back to the living room." Kanae said.When the walked back, Jude was hugging Kuon, happy tears in her eyes. Kyoko's heart broke a little seeing everyone smiling.
But her eyes met Lory's and for a brief moment she was sure, that Lory knew that all of this was a lie.
He had a knowing look on his face. It unnerved her.
"Well I guess its safe to say that Kyoko isn't going to be working for Kuon anymore", Kuu piped up.
"Yeah, I was always against it anyway. But she is still inheriting the restaurant, I know she is becoming your daughter in law and everything, but as long as my kid wants it, she will be working.", Tatsuya said in a calm voice.
"Of course, I agree with both of you", Kuon said.
He thought it would be best to maintain a healthy distance with Kyoko. Looking back on what he did impulsively upstairs, he was inwardly panicked.
What the actual fuck just happened. He can safely say that he had no intention of doing what he did and now its done.The most surprising part?
He was fucking doing it again if he got the chance to redo.That's what scared him.
He was feeling too much for her. He was acting unlike himself. He didn't even know who himself was anymore.
Kyoko felt relieved. She didn't want to be around Kyon for the foreseeable future. She needed to clear her head.
Even leave Tokyo, if putting miles between them might make her feel more in control so be it.
She would do it.
They all started saying their goodbyes after a while.
Jude came upto her and expressed how happy she was and she thought how lucky Kuon was to have her.
"Wouldn't it make more sense if you said how lucky I was?", Kyoko asked.
"Nope! Kuon is my brother but that doesn't mean I overlook how surly he is. But I guess its my duty to tell you that if you hurt him, my sweet sister, I will make sure you get what's coming for you.", Jude replied in a singsong voice.
But Kyoko knew how serious Jude was. This exact moment she looked like Kuon, ominous.
She just smiled and nodded as a response.
Jude called Kuon over to them and she automatically stopped smiling.
Kuon walked over to them, looking intently at Kyoko.
"Come on, kiss each other goodbye you two, no need to be shy." Jude said with mirth in her voice.
Kyoko looked at her panicked and at Kuon who didn't move.
"If she wants one she can come and get one herself.", Kuon smirked.
Kyoko felt like this was a test. This sibling pair was testing her. She was between a rock and a hard place.
In the corner of her eyes she saw the bustard Satoshi looking at them, trying to see what she would do.
That slime had this horrified look on his face when Kuon came downstairs with her. The ring shining on her finger.
Steeling her resolve, Kyoko maintained eye contact with Kuon. She will do it, playing the role of the love fiance, the loving wife. She would make him break.
She won't lose to Hizuri Kuon.
Slowly she got close to him, just like the movies she thought.
She was shorter than him, quite a bit.
She got on her tiptoes and anchored herself by placing her palms on his shoulder right over his heart.
Kuon subconsciously leaned in, he was planning to make her work for it but he couldn't help himself.
Kyoko kissed him right on the side of his lips.
Disappointed? Yes!!
He was instantly frustrated, abd severely turned on.
Kyoko got back down and whispered, "Goodnight, darling".
Kuon looked at her in shock. Oh this woman was going to drive him crazy.
Soon the Tsubasa family left with their daughters.
On the drive home, Kuon got this foreboding feeling.
He got home, showered.
Still couldn't shake off this nagging feeling.
He got into bed. Trying to get some rest since his mind wasn't calming down.
His phone started to ring, Yuki was calling him. He looked at the clock, it was past 12, this must be urgent. As soon as he picked up Yukihito started talking.
"Kuon, get yourself to the Darumaya. Someone broke in and took her!"
"Took who?", he asked, his blood running cold.
"Kyoko-chan, someone took her at gunpoint."
Kuon was out of the door as soon as possible.
Jude called him on his way. He let it go to voicemail.
"Kuon, I heard what happened. The Security team is working on it as we speak. Do not do anything reckless. We do not know everything. I am heading there as well." Her voice floated in the car.
He realized how hard he was gripping the steering wheel.
How he was holding his breath.
How angry and unhinged he felt.
He wanted to destroy something, mainly the face of someone who took his Kyoko.
It would be in their best interest to make sure he gets her back in one piece, unharmed.
Or He will make them suffer.
He could still feel her lips on him. The thought of her never doing it again, not being with him again, not touching her again made him want to burn everything down.
He will get her back.
