The Butterfly Effect. (Skip Beat! Fanfic)

The Telling.

It was 3 days later when Kuon and Kyoko arrived back in Japan. With their parents in tow, Kuon's discussion to come clean to the the world had been their turning point. They would be there for their son when the time came. A simple blacked out Limo awaited them at the airport with Kanae. Before Kyoko did anything else she was down in dogeza before her best friend who, shouting ,pulled her to her feet and hugged her tightly.

"Mo! You baka do you know how worried I was?" she half shouted at her best friend as Kyoko cried.

"I'm sorry Moko-san it really wasn't planned." after ushering them into the Limo they headed straight to the Takarada mansion, the safest place against reporters and press that had been staking out all of the places Ren and Kyoko may return to. No statement had been issued by LME to accept or deny the claims that two of their actors had travelled to Las Vegas to elope. All that had been said of either actress or actor before the picture release was that they had been given leave due to family issues. Well Lory hadn't really been lying, they were family now.

"So show me the rings!" Kanae ordered as Kyoko stretched out her left hand.

"Mo! That's a handful of diamonds there!" she nodded her approval at Kuon who smiled.

"Neither of us can really take credit, I'm afraid. We don't remember purchasing anything." he admitted sheepishly as he and Kyoko blushed. Julie and Kuu giggled.

"Well, they do say you show your true heart when drunk, and I think these are the perfect choices." she said as she looked out of the window at the approaching gates surrounded with reporters and camera crews.

"Well into the rats race again we go." Kanae commented. As they slowly tried to make their way through the crowd, cameras were pressed flush against the windows trying to get pictures of the people in the car.

"Mo! Stupid people, do they have nothing better to do?" Kanae admonished as Julie laughed.

"My dear Kanae-chan, they are just doing their jobs. They mean no harm, even if they do write some bull shit now and then." Kanae was stunned by the beautiful lady who spoke so straightforward and even used her given name. Julie noticed her startled expression.

"I'm sorry should I call you Kotonami-san? It's just I've heard so much about you from Kyoko-chan I feel I know you already." Kanae blushed and shook her head.

"No Kanae is fine, Hizuri-sama" she said a little quietly, it seems even Kanae would show acknowledgement to some stars if not all.

"Call me Julie. I'm not Japanese so I don't hold with honorifics, and we use first names in the US so I feel more comfortable if you would do the same" Kanae nodded softly and bowed.

"Of course Julie-san, I am honoured to know you." Julie smiled at Kanae.

"I like you Kanae-chan, you look after my little girl so well. We will all have to go shopping one day." Kuon laughed as Kyoko tightened her grip on his arm. They had gone to Las Vegas with one small bag each. Kyoko was now coming back with 5 suitcases worth of clothes and shoes Julie had bought for her on one of her so called shopping trips. The thought still scared her now.

Kuon and Kyoko sat before the reporter Harumi Akari. She smiled at them both as they waited for the signal they were to go on live on air.

"Thank you for doing this." Akari said as she bowed to the couple. She had been really polite and friendly. Both Kyoko and Kuon thought Lory had made the right decision. They needed to release this out of LME jurisdiction. Lory had already set Bridge rock up for the first promotional interview, but for the actual reveal they would release it through TBM with the help of Harumi Akari. She hadn't been told of this cause no one knew but those who had been in the room with Lory that morning they had watched the video. But now it was time. Kuon felt nervous, yet with Kyoko by his side he had rehearsed exactly what he was going to say.
