Chapter Two :: Dogeza

Feeling herself on trial Kyouko bowed forward again, "Ah, Tsuruga-san is something wrong?" she asked before looking up to see an extremely fake smile that only showed his full level of hatred, something of which she had never seen directed at her for a long time.

"Of course nothing is wrong, Mogasa-san (1)..." at that silence flew around as Yashiro's jaw dropped. Kyouko however seemed to struggle in the air before bowing down to him.

"I am so so sorry Tsuruga-san, punish me, put buttons in my ey---" before she could finish what she was saying, she heard his voice beside her ear as he leaned down beside her.

"Wouldn't bowing lower be a little more respectful?" he asked her, she did so but before she could answer, Ren stood back up rubbing the side of his neck with his hand as Yashiro looked at him again.

"Don't you think that making Kyouko do this is a little unnecessary, I don't know what went on between the two of you but to treat her in such a way Ren will..."

Fully ignoring Yashiro, Ren saw the extremely low bowing girl and smiled before seeming somewhat unsatisfied, "You know, i may forgive you if you give a dogeza."

Looking up at him Kyouko blinked before immediately doing so, "Tsuruga-san as your kouhai I'm so sorry that I did something wrong, I'm sorry i didn't make you any truffles, I'm sorry that I didn't know your birthday I..."

"All unmissable mistakes," Ren replied in a kind hearted manner, faking his emotions again, "Yet, not what I'm looking for." Lifting a foot he was about to place the sole on her head but decided against that, tapping her with the side of his foot instead. "You can get up now or do you enjoy looking so pathet---"

"Ren!!" Yashiro barked at him, not able to believe that he would do this to a girl he loved. He had been acting weird all morning and still this, this outdid everything else.

Staring up at him with tears in her eyes Kyouko quickly bowed again, wanting to keep her strong disposition but when it came to Ren saying these things, she just didn't want to hold back, it was as if he was more special than anyone else to her, well aside from Moko-san. She shook her head trying not to hold these feelings, Tsuruga-san was special in a senpai manner nothing more.

"I'd ignore Ren if I were you Kyouko-chan," Yashiro suggested, before leaning forward, "Some thing's not quite right with him, he hasn't been himself this morning."

"Is it..." she asked before her eyes lit up and she faced Ren again, "Tsuruga-san if you're hungry then I...I'll try to make you something using the kitchens. Or, we could go out for dinner..."

"Why?" he asked as she stood there smiling, glad to see that he was following her idea. That marked at least some sign of interest.

"Well in case you're hungry and therefore that is contributing to your bad mood, I know sometimes when I..." she started before feeling Ren's hand on her neck as he leaned closer.

"No, I meant why would I even consider going somewhere with you? Don't lower me to your level Mogasa" he hissed into her ear as Yashiro did his best to restrain him, a little cautious about this since he had no idea how Ren would react under this curse, it seemed, had been laid atop him.

"Eh?" the girl asked before Ren started laughing at that reaction.

"Don't tell me you're confused miss never reached 100%," he smiled coldly as her eyes widened and she tilted her head to the side still not understanding.

"I mean, it's a shame I had to EMBARASS" he spoke his voice getting louder as people turned round, it was never in Ren's nature to cause a scene like this, it seemed extremely out of character, "you but there's no way that I would even consider you ESPECIALLY with that offer of your BODY involved." Seeing her disturbed open faced reaction, and growing dark aura he laughed again, lifting up a hand, "No, in fact i must refuse your oh so self-belittling request."

"I never---" Kyouko was about to say before feeling him about to turn away.

"What would I want the underdeveloped body of a lower-class, unattractive high schooler for anyway?" he asked turning his back on her as she stood there though she started shaking, unsure why Tsuruga-san was acting this way it wasn't like him at all, not like the senpai she had come to know. "For once in your life do as you're told," he turned back with a smug, self-satisfied smile, "Never again consider me your senpai."

Looking down Kyoko balled her hands to the side of her and then looked down, "I'll find out how to cure you Tsuruga, that'll be my apology."

"Cure me?" he asked turning back and pointing to himself with a somewhat clueless expression, "You think that I need to be cured? Do you have that impression?" he asked Yashiro who bowed his head.

"I think that there's something wrong with you," the manager admitted before Ren started laughing to himself, people around thinking that he's insane.

"At least I don't believe in some fairy prince that I met when I was six years old," he spoke before realizing that she had never told him her exact age.

"Ho---How did?" she asked, her eyes widening. Tsuruga-san must also be a friend of Corn's and because the two of them had some special deal Corn would have told Ren not to talk about him and as an actor, Ren had acted that way. Running after him Kyoko reached a hand out and grabbed to a disgusted Ren's arm. "How did you know that I was six?" she asked as he started to laugh.

"Pitiful, you never think other people have any information," he laughed still caught in this trance, the only way in which he could mistakenly have revealed himself.

Grabbing her arms, he took her body and pushed it against a wall before seeing her shiver, "You want to hear the truth Mogasa?"
