Chapter One: The Book and The Move

Kyoko was rushing out the doors of LME on her way to Ren's to make dinner when she collided with something. She fell to the ground and the things in her bag scattered.

"Oh god please don't let it be Tsuruga-san again."

. She looked up to see no one. After sighing with relief she noticed that there was someone on the ground however. It was a girl with long blond hair and dressed in a lavender turtle neck and blue jeans. She looked to be in middle school. Kyoko quickly went over to the girl who was rubbing her head.

"I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" she asked helping the girl up.

"Yes and Thank you, and it was my fault too. "She quickly said and began to get her things. "Oh I've got to get going! I'm sorry bye!" and with that the girl was gone.

Kyoko thought the girl was pretty and nice as she gathered her things and put them back in her bag. She was somewhat happy to be going to Ren's but hoped that his eating habits would get better so she wouldn't have to impose. Kyoko then rushed out of the building and grabbed her bike.(Yashiro had asked her to go over, after Ren had already left.)


Ren was sitting on his couch watching TV when he heard his doorbell ring. He sighed, but was also happy since he had a good idea of who it was. He went to the door and opened it. Sure enough Kyoko was standing there with a smile on her face, and was holding a large bag.

"Mogami-san to what do I owe the pleasure?" he asked already knowing her answer.

"Yashiro-san said you haven't been eating properly again and I thought I would come over to cook you dinner. I hope I'm not imposing Tsuruga-san." She told him.

"I knew it." "You're not imposing at all Mogami-san, in fact I quite enjoy your cooking." He told her as she walked inside.

Kyoko blushed and went straight to the kitchen to start getting dinner ready. Ren couldn't help but smile after seeing Kyoko blush but also had to suppress himself.

"I'm glad I can have that effect on her, but I don't know if I can hold back the next time she blushes like that."

Kyoko made a quick dinner while Ren waited in the living room and brought two plates out. Ren thanked her for the meal and as usual she told him it was no problem.

"Her cooking skills never fail to amaze me." Thought Ren as he took a first bite.

"How is it?" Kyoko asked.

"Its wonderful as always." Ren told her and was once again amused when she blushed.

"Thank you." She murmured.

After dinner Ren insisted that Kyoko spend the night since it was getting late and she couldn't help but agree, and although 'it was getting late' they sat on Ren's couch and began watching some of the old reruns of Dark Moon, and commenting on each other's acting. It wasn't until Kyoko went rummaging through her bag for a new script she got, that the beginning of something that would change their lives happened. She looked curiously but also with sparkles in her eyes when she pulled out a picture book titled 'Cinderella', but what she found strange was that the princess on the cover had no face. Then she snapped out of it and thought when she acquired such a strange looking book.

"Oh no!" she thought out loud.

Ren looked at her concerned. "Whats wrong Mogami-san?" He asked seeing she was holding something tight in her arms.

She looked at him, but them turned her head quickly knowing that she was blushing slightly.

"Um…..I bumped into a girl today, and I noticed that i must have accidently picked up one of her things." She said.

Curious Ren asked "What is it that you took by mistake?"

Kyoko unwrapped her arms from the book and held it out for him to see. He couldn't help but smile that she had picked up something that she would love, but also thought the book looked strange. He took it from her and flipped through the pages.

"Mogami-san….do you know why the faces of Cinderella and the prince are all missing?" he wondered.

She took the book back and quickly flipped through the pages trying not to zone out.

"Your right only Cinderella and the prince's faces are missing…I thought it was only the cover." She said.

Then a thought clicked. "Tsuruga-san, maybe it's one of those books where you put someone's picture as the face." She suggested.

"Your right….although I've only seen one once or twice that's what it probably is." He agreed.

He then had to shake his head a bit to get the thought of Kyoko as the princess out of his head, missing the gaze Kyoko had when she thought of Ren as the prince…..her prince.

"Tsuruga-san, I think I'm going to head to bed now." Kyoko said standing up.

"I think I should too." Ren said picking up the remote and turning off the TV.

Kyoko once again squeezed the book to her chest, her arms wrapped around it and headed towards the guest room. It had took all her might to not do something that Ren himself was trying not to do….hugging the other one good night. So Kyoko decided she would settle with something else, but she had to make some kind of move. As Ren was about to pass her on his way to his room she stopped him.

"Um….Ren?" she said looking down.

Ren stopped hearing her murmur and turned to face her wondering if he wass hearing things.

"Yes Kyoko?" he said hoping she wouldnt freak out.

"You can do this Kyoko."

She hesitantly put her arms around Ren's neck making both their hearts beat faster. She then pulled herself up to his level so she was face to face with him and kissed him on the cheek. Quickly she pulled away and whispered a "Goodnight." As she retreated to her room. Ren was stunned but after realizing what happened he smiled a smile that would have made any girl in a ten mile radius faint. He went to his room knowing that, that just gave him the courage he needed to tell her his feelings and hoping that she felt the way she did when she kissed him, even if it was on the cheek.


Somewhere in another part of Tokyo Yukihito Yashiro sprang up from his sleep, his fangirl senses going wild. He squealed with excitement, praying Ren would give him all the details the next day. He then reluctantly went to sleep and dreamed of Ren and Kyoko getting married then having kids that would call him 'Uncle Yashiro'.


Kyoko had just gotten inside the guest room and was blushing furiously. She hoped Ren would not dislike her after that. After changing she climbed into bed and sat up. She had decided, after mush self conflict, that it should be ok that she read the Cinderella book if she was carful. Kyoko grabbed the book off the dresser she had placed it on and opened it, forgetting all her worries. She smiled and her eyes lit up with every word. Soon though she got drowsy and her eyes got heavy. Just a few more pages into the story and Kyoko was asleep, her head slumped back on the pillows.
