Sorry, that this chapter is SO short. I just start started summer courses at my college and they expect me to learn 18wks of stuff in just 4wks. I'll definitely make chapter 3 better(hopefully)

Obviously, I don't own Skip Beat! or any of the characters.

Chapter 2: Just A Bit Scary.

She turned around to tell Ren that dinner was almost ready, only to find him right behind her! Her heart leaped out of her throat, she let out a small scream.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!", screamed Kyoko. Ren was in his 'emperor of the night' mood. Kyoko slammed her left hand the stove, while it was still on.

Ren didn't know what to say. He was just watching her, admiring her, gazing at her...

Kyoko suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her left hand.

"AHHHHH!!!!" she yelped. She raised her left hand to her face, only to find it with blisters and burns. Ren moved closer to her, to help her hand.

"GET THE HECK AWAY FROM ME!" Kyoko let out another yell. Her hand was starting to blister all over. Ren was taken back by her reaction.

"IF YOU HADN'T BEEN STARING AT ME LIKE A HAWK, I WOULDN'T HAVE PUT MY HAND ON THE STOVE!" she yelled again.

"THAT WAS YOUR OWN FAULT! IF YOU HAD BEEN PAYING ATTETION, THAT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!" Ren snapped back. It was his instinct to snap. He was angry, you could tell just by the evil aura rays emitting from him. He was angry though, at himself, because he got caught looking at her.

Kyoko looked shocked, dumbfounded, and scared. She hadn't seen Ren like that for months now. This was someone she didn't know. She started to cry a little because; Ren looked just like....her mother.

"Y-you're right....I....should've.....been..." Kyoko was choking the lump of tears down her throat. Ren realized what he just did. His face stiffened. I...didn't.... he couldn't get the words out.

"No, Kyoko," he said Kyoko with such tenderness.

"It's my fault; I shouldn't have scared you like that. Let's go wrap up your hand." Kyoko sniffed, and nodded.

After her hand was bandaged up, Kyoko said "so much for dinner..."

"Yeah..." sighed Ren.

"Look, I'm really sorry for yelling at you Mogami-san."

"No, I shouldn't have been so careless" she smiled. It felt good to be taken care of for once. She always cared for other people, but this time, someone was caring for her, and that felt good. She couldn't describe what she felt at that moment, but, it felt good. Plus, her demons weren't bothering her at all.

Ren looked up at Kyoko. He was on the floor; Kyoko was above, on the couch. Her face is so beautiful thought Ren. He sighed a little and sat by her on the couch.

Kyoko immediately stiffened. Tsuruga-san's shoulder is right next to mine! Wait, who cares? He just a famous actor, that's all.

"You know Mogami-san; the way you played Mio in Dark Moon was fantastic." Ren smiled.

"Tsuruga-san is complementing me?! Of all people....wow....that's something coming from you." She felt special, like he said this to no other girl. Wait, so what?! Ren is 'emperor of the night'! Of course he'd say this to other unsuspecting girls!

"Tsuruga-san, I should go now, if I can't cook anymore, I'm of no use..." she was about to get up when Ren pulled at her wrist.

"What makes you say that? Kyoko, please stay." Ren felt Kyoko's rapid pulse on her wrist. A smile came to his face when he realized it was because of him.

"I-I-just ....please call me Kyoko-Chan; not just by my name." she managed to get out. Ren was about to object, when suddenly, the lights went out. It was pitch dark. Kyoko couldn't see Ren, and Ren couldn't see Kyoko.

"What happened? There weren't any thunder storms, right?" Kyoko squeaked.

"No, I think it might have been construction workers..." yeah right, it's probably Yashiro cutting the wires in the electric panel. Darn that man, always butting in my life!

Yashiro was at the electric panel. And you know what happened next? He sneezed...I wonder what Ren will do now? Heh, Heh, Heh...operation 'Ren confesses his love once and for all!' has finally been put to motion!
