Give Me Hope

Chapter 1

Kyoko tried to suppress her anger at the man standing before. He had said he wanted to talk to her about something really important but so far he hadn't said a word. "Well what is it!" She practically yelled.

Reino smirked at her impatience. He just LOVED tormenting her. "Like I said, I have something important to tell you".

"I'm listening" Kyoko said. She had picked a very crowded place to talk, just in case he tried something.

"I've been thinking about that precious blue stone you have. I think I know where its previous owner is and I could tell you if you really want to know" Reino said, waiting for the amusing girl's reaction.

Kyoko froze at Reino's words.' Does he really know where Corn is?!?!' Kyoko thought excitedly 'Or is he trying to trick me??'.

"Well do you want to know, Kyoko-chan?" Reino asked, knowing well that Kyoko would not say no.

"Are you trying to trick me?" Kyoko asked slowly. She knew this bastard wouldn't do something like this without getting something in return. He probably just wanted to get her hopes up and then crush her.

"Oh no. I really know who he is and where he is right now" Reino smirked as he saw Kyoko's expression was in the middle of confusion and hesitation.

'Maybe he does know where Corn is…' Kyoko thought remembering what that monster had said a while back 'By now that person would be broken or gone from this world'. The thought made Kyoko shudder. She felt tears pricking near her eyes, but quickly wiped them away so that stupid beagle wouldn't see. "Tell me" she said, trying to act calm but inside she was bursting with the hope of seeing Corn again "where is he?"

Reino smiled evilly. He knew Kyoko would come around sooner or later. "With nothing in return for my kind favor?" he asked.

Kyoko sighed. She knew he wouldn't tell her for free but now she really wanted to know and she was willing to do just about anything. "What do you want?" Kyoko said in a very annoyed tone.

"I want you to act in my new PV" Reino said. He liked tormenting the girl and he knew that normally she wouldn't act in his PV in her right mind.

"Fine" Kyoko said. She was desperate.

'WHAT AM I THINKING!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!' Kyoko thought to herself. She had just agreed to act in the PV of that stupid beagle's new song. Normally she wouldn't do that but she was desperate to know where Corn was and meet him again. "Just tell me where Corn is first" Kyoko said. She needed to see if he knew where Corn was for real before she acted in his stupid video.

"Okay" Reino said. If this got her to act in his PV, he would tell her the truth. But if Kyoko lied and didn't finish the deal, there would be consequences. "You've actually met him already. Do you remember what I said to Tsuruga Ren when I first saw that blue stone, Kyoko?" Reino asked.

Kyoko nodded, wondering why he was saying this. 'WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CORN?!?!?!?!' She thought. "You said that Tsuruga Ren was his false name" She said "And he said it was his stage name. What does this have to do with Corn?"

Reino smiled. "Be patient, Kyoko-chan, I'll get to the point in a minute. Have you ever wondered what his real name is? Probably not. Well I don't either but when he grabbed my hand that day, I realized something really important. Kyoko, what do you think the previous owner of that stone would look like if he had grown up?"

Kyoko was annoyed. Why wasn't this stupid beagle telling her where Corn was? Nonetheless, she tried to picture Corn all grown up. She opened her eyes and looked back at the man. "Well……………..Now what?" Kyoko asked him.

"You still don't know? How are you not getting this? Fine, do you want me to just come out and say it? Okay, I will. The previous owner of that malicious stone is your beloved sempai, Ren. Tsuruga Ren."

'No way'
