Kuon's POV

I sighed as I walked into LME. I had given up trying to persuade Maria to leave Yuki's and Kyoko's luggage at my apartment. A few days later, the president called me back and asked me to come down. As usual just walking into the building gained me gazes, some admiring others wary. As I waited for the secretary someone ran into me. I looked down to see a petite black hair woman with icy brown eyes wearing a Love Me section uniform.

"Sorry." She mumbled looking up. As soon as she recognized me she practically flew back 10 feet. She was about to sprint off on her task when someone called out to her.

"Michi-chan, where are you going? I was just about to start the acting seminar." A petite blonde with amber eyes said coming up behind her. I felt my eyes grow as I took in Kyoko's new appearance. The woman named Michi-chan shot me a quick glance which did not escape Kyoko's attention. She glanced at me and smiled.

"Hey, Kuon. What are you doing here?" She glanced around. "And where's Yuki?"

"Maria whisked him away to the president's mansion."

Kyoko sighed."He's getting too overprotect."

Michi-san looked at Kyoko amazed.

"Hongo-san, you do know about Hizuri-san's reputation, right?" She asked Kyoko slowly.

"Of course I do, and I can't believe they make him out to be such a bad guy. He's actually quite nice if you're not Fuwa Sho, Reino of Vie Ghoul, or someone he's angry at."

Michi-san glanced at me unsure. "If you say so, Hongo-san."

I raised a questioning brow at Kyoko. She waved her hand in dismissal.

"Oh, look who we have here. The demon king himself cornering a member of Love Me section and the new Love Me section supervisor." A man said behind me. I turned to see Yato Jun, the biggest thorn in my side since Fuwa and that beagle. Yato-kun spread vicious rumors about me tormenting Love Me section member for no reason, and shacking up various woman.

I smiled at him. "Hello, Yato-kun."

"Kuon." Kyoko said sternly behind me. Damn, forgot she was here. I let the smile drop but kept my face impassive. "Yato-kun, what did you do to make Kuon mad?" She asked him sounding exactly like the okaa-san she was. The bastard had the nerve to look innocent.

"I have no idea, Aiko-chan. And how come you address him as Kuon and not Hizuri-san?"

"That's because I've known him for…" She trialed off trying to remember how many years it had been.

"Thirty years, Aiko. Remember, you were six back then?"

Kyoko bopped herself on the forehead. "That's right."

The Love Me section members stared at us.

"You two knew each other before you became actors?" Yato-kun asked in disbelief.

I nodded. "Yeah, old friends. I hardly recognized her, though, when she first started working at LME as part of Love Me section."

"You're kidding? She was part of Love Me section? I thought the president was lying."

"Not at all. In fact Aiko was the very first Love Me section member."

Yato-kun glanced at Kyoko and went into a laughing fit. I couldn't contain a small smile seeing little Kyoko demons slither towards an unsuspecting Yato-kun. I don't remember when but a few months before we started dating I began to see Kyoko's little demon minions. At first I thought I was going insane but a quick chat with Kyoko had cleared it all up.

Yato-kun stopped laughing as little Kyoko demons began wrapping around his neck. He clawed at the demons but to no avail. After a few seconds, Kyoko called back her little demons satisfied with their work. Yato-kun gasped for air, bewildered.

"What the heck was that?"

I smiled and leaned down so I was next to his ear. "That was my girlfriend, Hongo Aiko." I whispered and straightened to see his face. I was pleased with Yato-kun's "oh shit" expression.

Kyoko's POV

I was about to start lecturing Kuon about scaring people when someone put a hand around me waist. I ripped the hand off my waist and twisted it.

"Ow, ow, ow ow!" Yuki said trying to get his hand out of my grip. I immediately let go of his hand.

"Yuki, how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me?! Remember the last time you did that? I almost broke your wrist!" I scolded him, carefully inspecting his wrist.

Yuki shrugged.

"I'm fine. I mean, come on, I'm feared in half of France I can handle a broken bone every once in a while."

I scowled at him. "That's it. I'm taking Moko-san shopping tomorrow and I'm going to convince her to leave Hime- chan with you."

Yuki's cheeks started to turn pink. "Hey, you promised not to play cupid."

I smirked. "Yeah, but this is punishment for not listening to your okaa-san." He growled.

"I don't see how it's a valid punishment."

I shrugged.

"It's not really, but it's a win-win for me."

Yuki cocked an eyebrow.

I smiled impishly. "If I help out I can get grandkids sooner!"

He froze. Kuon was leaning against the receptionist's desk, with a hand over his mouth and his leg shaking wildly. Even the members of Love Me section couldn't keep smiles of their faces.

"Kaa-san, I don't want to even think about that yet." Yuki said slowly, his cheeks a crimson color.

I sighed. "Yuki, I'm not getting any younger, and you're my only hope for grandchildren right now. So I'm going to make you think about it."

That was the last straw. Kuon and the entire Love Me section were clutching their stomachs laughing, while Yuki became a darker crimson. After recovering from his laughing fit Kuon put a hand on my shoulder.

"Aiko, for now just leave Yuki alone. He's not ready for those kinds of things yet."

I pouted. "But I want grandkids before I'm 60!"

Kuon chuckled. "Aiko, remember who Hime's parents are. Would her otou-san appreciate you playing cupid between them?"

I grumbled.

"Hiou-kun would get mad at me, probably. But who knows? He might actually prefer Yuki to another boy, because if Yuki try's something too soon Hiou-kun knows exactly who to call so that Yuki gets straightened out."

Kuon snickered glancing at Yuki who was scowling at me.

"Kaa-san, I will not even consider asking her out until she's in high school. For God's sake, she's only in seventh grade!"

I shrugged. "It's only a three years difference. I mean there's only four years between your otou-san and I. Look at Moko-san and Hiou-kun. There's five years between them, and Hiou-kun started, er, courting Moko-san when he was 14."

Yuki rolled his eyes. "Kaa-san, Moko ba-chan is older than Hiou ji-chan, and Otou-san didn't even start courting you until you were 20. I'm 15 and a half and Hime-san is 12."

I sighed.

"Fine, I'll wait two years. But that's it, Yuki." I warned him.

"Kyoko, we have a problem. One with bleached hair." Kuon whispered behind me. I turned to ask him exactly what he was talking about when I spotted it. Sho had just walked into LME a wide smirk on his face.

"How is he out of the hospital?! I thought you said three months in the ICU, not three weeks in the hospital."

Kuon was too busy glaring at Sho.

"Oi, earth to Kuon." I said waving my hand in front of his face. "Kuon, answer me." I was starting to panic. Yuki put his hands on my shoulders and started dragging me away.

"Kaa-san, something is very wrong with Fuwa. I don't know what it is but it's strong enough to put my demons in a panic."

I was getting really scared. If Yuki's demons were reacting that meant the threat was big, dangerous, and nasty. Kuon stood his ground as Sho walked up to him.

Kuon's POV

I glared at Fuwa as he walked up to me.

"What kind of devil did you make a deal with, Fuwa?" I asked him, not even bothering to put up a gentlemanly pretense.

He shrugged. "I didn't make any kind of deal, Hizuri. Yeah, I recovered faster than expect, big deal."

I growled at him "I know of a many stronger men than you Fuwa who were in the ICU for months after that kind of beating. There's no way you could just walk out of a French hospital three weeks later."

I glanced over my shoulder, keeping one eye on Fuwa. Kyoko and Yuki were gone meaning something was definitely wrong on a supernatural level. Things were not looking good.

"Kyoko's okaa-san filled me in and helped me recover faster. She wants Aoi and I have no problem with that. For all I care she can have Yuki too."

I gritted my teeth. "Do you want her to fall into despair, Fuwa? She loves those two more than anything in the world."

He shook his head. "Not, anything. I don't know why, but I know she loves you more than her kids. Or should I say your kids?" He asked teasingly. "Now, you have ten seconds to tell me where she is before I kill you and the rest of the people in this building, excluding Kyoko, of course."

I smirked. "I hate to tell you, but at the moment I have no idea where she is." It was true. Yuki didn't know the layout of the building so he could be anywhere. "Now, I have made my own contract with a devil. It was many years ago but that contract is still in effect. It's a very unique contract I must tell you. Only four were ever made. So how does that compare with your contract?"

Fuwa frowned. "You don't have a contract. Each person who has made a contract has a certain aura to them, if you will. You have no such aura."

I smiled arrogantly. "That's part of what makes the contract special. Technically there is no contract. It's a one-sided deal. The devil gives the human what they want without anything in return. That is what's special about my contract. Now, what's one of a kind about my contract is that I didn't ask, the devil just gave, unconsciously so." I was slowly piecing together the puzzle that had been bugging me for a while. Why was I able to see Kyoko's little demons? Why was I able to sense that beagle's evil presence? Why was I able to tell something was off with Fuwa? The answer was that Kyoko had made this "one-sided contract" with me. Truth be told, I was making this up as I went along. I had no idea if anything I said was even close to the truth and from the look of it Fuwa believed every word. He was also starting to doubt his new power.

"Kyoko made a contract with you?" Fuwa seemed to not just doubting his power, but also himself.

I couldn't help a smiled. "Damn straight, Fuwa. So why don't you scamper back to that gold digging bitch and tell her exactly what's she's messing with. Oh, and tell her Takarada Lory said hi."

He didn't hesitate to comply with my order. Now, how exactly am I going to explain this to the members of the Love Me section? I thought, turning around. I was surprised to see the lobby completely empty. Not a good sign, especially when about two minutes ago it crowded with people. It was physically impossible to move that many people in such a short time. Something was very, very wrong.
