Dream Intervention

A/n Darkish territory in this chapter. Will continue through the next and then lighten up after that so please stick with me .

'Stupid Tsuruga-san' She thought as she marched angrily down the street. She didn't even know why she was so upset and that just made her even madder. That slip of the tongue showed that he had some affection towards her didn't it? Hadn't she admitted to herself that maybe just maybe she felt something more towards Tsuruga-san than friendship?

So why wasn't she happy. Why did she feel like she was being betrayed again?

'It's because he's such a playboy' she thought with anger. 'He's probably playing with me. He's probably laughing now which is why he didn't try and stop me.'

But as she walked her anger began to dissipate and she saw the truth of the matter just as she reached home. 'Tsuruga-san is Tsuruga-san and I'm just me.' She thought as a tear escaped her eye. She had thought that Sho loved her and now she thought that Ren loved her. But there was no way to be sure of his affections. After all he had never confessed that he had feelings for her so perhaps he did not. She had thought that she was ready to move on but she was fooling herself. Love just wasn't something that she was meant to have.

That was her last thought as she fell asleep.

Kyoko knew that she was dreaming because Bo the rooster was sitting in a swiveling chair, under a spotlight, with a pipe in his mouth.

"Hello Kyoko," said the mascot in the deep tone that she had used on the rare occasions where the mascot said something.

"Hello Bo-kun," she greeted politely.

"So having a crisis of love are we?" asked the rooster.

"Not really," she said not wanting to talk about what had happened between her and Tsuruga-san even if it was only to a character she played and within a dream.

The rooster got up, staying illuminated by the spotlight as he walked over to her. Before he spoke again he placed his wings on her shoulders. "Why are you fighting love so hard?" the rooster asked.

"I'm not. It's just I don't want to be hurt again. I'm just too scared to try again. I thought I could but I can't. Especially because there is no way that I can be certain how he feels. I don't want to lose my friend."

"You know that he cares for you."

"I do?" she asked startled.

"Do you not remember his own crisis of love during the filming of Dark Moon. The look he had on his face when he told us about that high school girl. Was he not talking about you at that moment? He acted on the advice we gave when he invited you over to practice his Katsuki after all."

'Was that true? Had he really been talking about me at that time' she wondered.

Bo sighed. "I'm not saying that you should run to him and accept his love with open arms but just consider it. Think about it. We have been alone hurting for long enough. We are allowed to be scared but we can't let that stop us or we continue to suffer and the jerk that made us this way ruins our life again."

After saying this Bo started to walk away and slowly everything went black.

Kyoko woke the next morning confused and somewhat mystified. She had talked to Bo in her dream and that had brought back the memories of Tsuruga-san when he needed help. She had been so happy to help him then. But somehow she had failed to realize that he could have been talking about her when they had the conversation about his love life.

She didn't know what to do now. Just how could she face him after having rudely run from him last night? Could it be that he really did love her and if that were the case what would he do now? What should she do?

The answer came to her as she dressed for the day. She would avoid him at all cost that way there would be no need to think on it and she could just forget everything. There was also the benefit that he could not reject her or laugh at her foolishness if they no longer spoke.

When Ren had his slip of the tongue he knew that it was over. The shock and fear in her face had frozen him to his seat for an hour. She knew how he felt, her face had said as much, she had known and she had run from him. That was most definitely a rejection. When he was finally able to move again he went over to his liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink. It was over. She would never want to see him ever again.

He couldn't help but feel had he waited just a bit longer he could have had her and she would have accepted his love.

He let out a bitter laugh. Who was he kidding? It was probably better this way after all now he wouldn't have to admit how many times he had lied to her. He wouldn't have to tell her how evil he truly was. He could just drown his sorrows without a care in the world.

In a sudden burst of anger he threw the glass across the room and watched unfazed as it shattered against the wall. He was such a liar. Oh how he could lie. He had fooled so many but he couldn't fool himself. Kyoko had been his constant and now because of one little slip up he had ruined everything.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Ren didn't care and couldn't find the will to move because it wasn't her. She would never come here again.

"Ren?" Yashiro called as he let himself in. He easily took in the half eaten meal that was still on the table as well as the shattered glass. He wanted to ask but the look on Ren's face made him remain silent.

Ren stood. Somehow he had sat there all night. He went to his room to get dressed because he had work. He would work and work until he exhausted himself. In that type of state he would seek her out and explain everything then. That way even if she rejected him again he would be too tired to care.

A/n 2 Sorry for the depressing feel of this chapter. Once again I claim innocence because the story wrote itself. I wanted it to be lighter but this is what ended up typed. I was going to wait between uploads but I got some response so I will just put up the chapters I have in rapid succession until I reach where I stopped.
