Jeeze. I cant believe I haven't written anything in so long. I guess I just got bored and decided to do this again. I hope you enjoy :) Please let me know what you think. More to come! This takes places when the manga currently is- Kyoko admits to Lory that she loves Ren and they are now in Guam with Ren as disguise as Corn. Just so you know, sentences that are italicized are people's thoughts.

"President?" Lory Takarada's assistant entered with a tray carrying a message from the front desk. "This has just arrived, sir."

Lory took the memo with a peculiar sense of dread, and his fears were confirmed as he read it. "I see. Is she still at the front desk?" I should have known this would happen.

His cloaked assistant bowed deeply "No sir. She has already returned."

"Thank you" Lory sighed as he looked out his office windows and into the horizon, looking for hope of a peaceful ending to a potentially nasty situation. I hope you can handle this one, Ren.

"Kyoko-chan… Would you like me to teach you how adults kiss?" Ren, who is disguised as Corn, deadpanned. "That was quite pathetic."

Kyoko blushed furiously and shook her head with all her might "absolutely NOT!" How could I ever do that to while he looks so much like… him! "A kiss can simply be the touching of lips! That should be sufficient in breaking the curse."

Corn smiled "Indeed…" I have to stop… I don't want to upset her again. Besides… What she said was correct. All that's happened- even Rick's death has led to this. To her. "And I thank you for that. It seems it worked."

Kyoko beamed while her blush still clung to her cheeks. "Tha-" she started as she was cut off by her phone vibrating, shaking her vigorously. "Ah. Sorry." She answered her phone and wandered out of ear shot. "Hello?"

"Hello? Kyoko-chan? Where are you? I called for your room at the hotel and you did not answer. I thought I'd see if your phone worked over here."

Kyoko shrieked "I am so sorry! I couldn't help myself and took a walk on the beach, but I lost track of time!"

"It's fine. I spoke to Ren-chan and he is free for dinner with us tonight." If only he would answer his phone! "We can meet in two hours."

Kyoko bowed on instinct, though she knew make-up artist Jelly Woods, also known to Kyoko as Muse, cannot see her. "I understand. I will be there!"

They then hung up and Kyoko turned around to tell Corn of her departure, only to find him missing. "Corn…?" She walked to where he was before and discovered a note let behind in his place. *Thank you for saving me, Kyoko-chan. We will see each other again someday. –Corn* A tear streamed down her face as she realized her favorite fairy prince was gone. "Goodbye…"

Ren arrived at the hotel and quickly located Muse, knowing he had been gone much longer than expected.

"Ren-chan! There you are! I have been trying to contact you all day. Come on, we don't have much time to change your hair back to normal."

Ren and Muse walked out of the lobby and to her trailer, passing the man at the reception desk was speaking loudly, trying and failing to calm the person on the other end. "I apologize, but there is nothing I can do as she is not currently in her room. As soon as she arrives, I will gladly leave her a mess-", he didn't get to finish as the other person hung up. He sighed and simply wrote down a memo to keep an eye out for a Kyoko Mogami-sama.

Kyoko slowly made her way back to her hotel, contemplating all that had transpired just a short time ago. She walked into the lobby and was immediately hailed by the receptionist.

"Excuse me, miss. This has arrived for you a short while ago, and someone has been calling frequently trying to reach you." He handed her an envelope.

She had anticipated the delivery, but she had not expected anyone to need to call her. "May I ask who it was that called?"

"I was not able to get a name, but it was an older woman who sounded quite upset."

Kyoko blanched but shook it off. It couldn't be. She wouldn't care enough to call. She bowed to the receptionist and returned to her room to inspect her parcel. She looked at it until she saw the one thing she was looking for. Her signature. Kyoko's body shook involuntary, it's okay. She signed it. That's all she needed to do and that's all she will do.

Kyoko shook off her sudden mood and decided to get ready for dinner with Muse and Tsuruga-san. She blushed, realizing that it will be the first time she should see him since admitting out loud to someone that she loves him. I really hope the president hasn't told him anything!

Dinner passed without any hitches, but Ren noticed that Kyoko was acting strangely. She brushed it off as jet lag, but he knew her too well to fall for it. He decided to walk her back to her room in hopes of a moment alone with her. He wondered if she didn't truly realize that he was Corn.

"Mogami-san." He stopped walking and waited for her to turn to face him.

She froze. "Y-yes!?" She stammered, realizing she was contemplating her parcel again.

"Is everything okay?" He stared in her eyes, hoping to see the truth. "You've been acting strangely all evening."

She realized her mistake of not entering acting mode. She started to refute his claim but stopped, suddenly deflated and gave up on her calm, collected composure. "I'm sorry. I just... I received a reply for my passport request... which requires a parent's signature."

Upon realizing just what that meant, Ren struggled to maintain an air of confusion. Tsuruga Ren was not supposed to know what Fairy Prince Corn knew- just how much hearing from that woman would hurt this girl. "Your mother?"

Her face said all he needed to know- Kyoko's mother had contacted her for the first time in years.

"I haven't heard from her in a long time. I sent her a request for a signature to get my passport, but I didn't expect to get a reply so soon…" or at all. Kyoko's shoulders slumped, "I'm sorry for acting like this."

Ren shook his head "Don't be." They finished their walk to her room and he bidded her a goodnight. Returning to his room, Ren contemplated their day and the bomb that had been dropped on Kyoko.

In Kyoko's room, she had been in the middle of preparing for bed when her phone vibrated. Her caller ID showed that it was Lory Takarada. "Hello?"

"Good evening, Mogami-san."

"Good evening."

"I know this is late, but I thought you might want to know. Your mother has been repeatedly trying to get in contact with you here at the office." Lory paused, "Mogami-kun, be prepared. She will come when you return."

Kyoko sighed, "I understand. Thank you for letting me know." So she's looking there too... What's she going to do? What does she want?

"Mogami-kun." Lory drew her back to the here and now. "I know this is difficult, but you don't have to deal with this alone."

She didn't respond and they hung up while she fought the fear overcoming her as a shiver ran up her spine. She walked over to her luggage and found a small purse that held the only thing that could help her feel better- safer. Corn…

"Setsu." His voice drew her out of the spell she was in as he patted her head.

"Brother…"

"You look tired…" Cain states, having noticed the dark circles under her eyes. "Go wait in our dressing room, I won't be long." He moved his hand to her cheek and ran his thumb under her eye, tracing the mark darkening her face. She must have been up all night.

Setsu leaned her head into his hand and smiled, "I won't miss my brother in action."

"Setsu." His expression said it all. "Go… I'll come find you when I'm done."

True to character, Setsu pouted and crossed her arms, unwilling to move. However, she knew better than to defy her brother and turned around to return to their dressing room.

"Wait." Cain grabbed her arm to force her to face him so that he could lean in and kiss her on the cheek. "Thank you."

Setsu clenched her fist, fighting back Kyoko's reactions so that she didn't slip up again. The President may have found out, but Ren never will. She managed to smile, "yeah yeah," she nonchalantly flipped her hand in front of him to create distance between them and walked away.

"There you are, my ungrateful child," she sneered down at young Kyoko. "How dare you embarrass me like this!?" She threw Kyoko's tests at her, causing Kyoko to flinch at the harshness of her words.

Setsu awoke with a start as Cain entered the room, the smell of the ocean still clung to him.

"How was it?" Setsu acted as if she was stretching while she wiped her stray tears away and observed her beloved brother. That day they worked on shooting a fighting scene on the beach, one Cain enjoyed. Bits of sand fell from him with every move he made and he flopped down beside her on the couch she was sitting up on.

"Sandy," Cain responded with his typical one-word answer.

Setsu chuckled and picked stray bits of shells out of his hair while Cain sighed and leaned on her, resting his eyes after a long day in the sun. Setsu continued to play with his hair as he secretly relished her touch. "What did you dream about?" he asked so nonchalantly that Setsu believed she must have made it up. Cain sat up to look at her, brushing away a tear she missed. He examined her face, "Why were you crying?"

Setsu looked away from him, "It was nothing, just a bad dream."

Cain continued to watch her and brought his hand to her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Mogami-san"

Kyoko was shocked. Tsuruga-san… He broke character. Why now...? She looked away again, not able to look in the eyes that made her want to let everything she's held back, out.

"Kyoko-san" he said her name hesitantly. She looked up at him, startled by hearing her name. "It'll be okay."

Tears sprang to her eyes as a sob escaped her throat. "I-I'm s-s-sorry…" she tried to apologize for her outrageous behavior.

Ren gently embraced her, "Don't be… Don't ever be."
