Chapter 18

Two Years Later

The two entertainment moguls sat in an overly elaborately decorated office in one of the tallest buildings in Tokyo to collaborate the American careers and debuts of two of Japan's finest talents. The eccentric human stared thoughtfully at the golden eyed male fairy. "Something on your mind Lory?" He asked. Lory smirked and shook his head at the irony. "I just figured out what kind you and little Kyoko are." Avery looked at him in shock. "H-How did you know?" Lory waved off the concern the fairy had. "No, no. Don't worry. You're secret is safe." He smiled. "I just find it very ironic that Kyoko-chan is a Love Fairy..." They both laughed and then continued the discussion on different aspects of the careers of Kuon and Kyoko Hizuri.

Across town, in a secluded room, at a comfortable restaurant, sat Saena Mogami, Yayoi Fuwa, Julie Hizuri, Kanae Kotonami and Chiorin Amamiya planning a baby shower for the young woman that had made such an incredible impact on their lives while Kuon and Kyoko Hizuri attended what would be their final class of Lamaze before the birth of their identical twin sons that would be at least three-quarters fairy and also be young princes in a family that would surely grow with time. Over the years, many more names would be added in the radiant calligraphy of the ancient tome of names, accompanying the Emperor's name, that sat quietly glowing in his office across the sea.

What Is Lory?

The little fox sat quietly in thought as he watched the loving couple kiss under the falling sakura petals in the quiet park. As a yokai, he wanted nothing more than to make mischief but, something deep inside him attracted him to this thing that humans called love. What was it? How exactly did it feel? He watched as the enchanting little girl cried pitifully under the tree and out of curiosity took human form to speak to her. "What troubles you?" the little boy/yokai asked her. "Ryuu-chan says I'm ugly." She sobbed. He sat next to her. "I don't know who this Ryuu-chan is, but I think you're very pretty." He smiled as he stroked her light auburn hair. "What is your name?" He asked. "My name is Aimi-chan." She answered drying her tears. "and yours?" He sat in thought. "You can call me Lory." He smiled brightly.
