Chapter 1

"Reeeeeen", she busted into the room shouting his name, looked around for him then ran toward him and flung her arms around his waist, squeezing out his breath.

"He did it again…" she cried, tears flowing off her cheeks as she buried her face in his stomach.

He patted her head, allowing her to cry for what must have been the third time that month.

He hated Sho, he had endured his existence so far as to not upset Kyoko who seemed to retain some blind love for him, but the past few months, since they had come to Tokyo, their relationship had gone from bad to worse.

He knew Sho had never truly loved Kyoko, while he had held onto his unrequited feelings for the girl in question, for ages. And now, Sho had gone too far. It had indeed been the third time that month that Sho had dumped Kyoko only to make up with her the next day, and Kyoko had always been glad to accept him back in.

He had always regretted leaving them in Kyoto when his parent moved from Japan. Of course, he had had no choice as he was only ten, but still, even then he had envied Sho, his eternal rival for Kyoko's love, because Sho wouldn't have to miss a single day in Kyoko's life.

Now, when they had finally met again after 10 years, Kyoko had been taken by that jerk only to be dumped every once a week.

He had contemplated their relationship with anger and pain, and had suffered in silence each and every time she had come running to his apartment crying her eyes out to him.

Now too, as he patted her head, he had to refrain himself from thinking about how to kill that stupid-bastard-jerk of a Fuwa for hurting his beloved so bad. However the most difficult thing was, not thinking about how close she was, as he was naked, just covered by a towel that seemed to be dangerously close to falling from his hip where it had been tied after his shower. She always seemed to come in at the exact time where he had wanted to go to bed so he was in his bedroom, standing next to his bed, so it would always be more tempting to push her on the bed... and make out with her?...

He couldn't help but think that the gods in person wanted to torture him with this 'cruelly oblivious' characteristic that seemed to define Kyoko.

Every time Sho dumped her, she would stay at his apartment and would want to sleep in his bed clutching his pajama top and lying with her head on his chest, not shifting from that position for the entire night.

He waited for her to stop crying to ask her if she would be staying the night again. Hoping, yet also fearing a positive answer. As he didn't know what he could expect himself to do.

"Uh… R…Ren… could… could I stay for a little longer…" she asked him. He froze for a moment not getting why she would ask such a thing then replied.

"There, there…" he gently tugged her chin, making her look in his eyes -a mistake, now it was even harder to hold himself back from doing something to her as he could now see her overly cute face and her gorgeous golden eyes stare into his, a small blush spreading on her cheek. "Kyoko…" he thought for a bit, and then decided to go with what he knew she would want to hear. "You and I both know that you two will make up tomorrow and that you won't need to stay longer than for tonight…" he forced to say it with a smile on his face but mentally hit himself.

"B…B…But… I don't want to get back together, Corn… all he does is boss me around and make me do chores…that ****."

'Shit, almost comforted her with a kiss' he thought and again mentally hit himself for not being able to resist her tempting yet innocent looking hurt eyes that rivaled those of an abandoned puppy on a rainy day, hoping to be picked up.
