Chapter 2 ,, Confusion & Progress.


The rest of the day went by as usual for both Ren and Kyoko.. As Soon as Ren was finished with his work he went to pick up Kyoko from the studio. Kyoko was walking out of the TBM studio after finishing her work as Bou,, when she saw a Silver Porche waiting for her in front of the studio…. Upon Identifying the car she smiled and walked toward's it.

Bending a Little in front of the car she said "Good Evening tsuruga-san"

"Good Evening Mogami-san.. finished with your work?"

"Yes" replied kyoko and sat in the front seat of the Car.. " where's yashiro-san"

"He had some work to do at the office so he said to leave without him" answered Ren. All the while thinking about the teasing he had to bear all day long and how his Manager/Friend was Happy leaving him Alone with kyoko.

"Okay.." Said kyoko a little nervous about being alone with Ren." Stop around the convenience Store Tsuruga-san .. I need to do grocery shopping for Dinner"

"Sure" Said Ren and started driving…."So Mogami-san How was your day?"

"Well it was a bit hectic and acting as Natsu really takes a lot of effort But I love every moment and I still have to fullfil the promise I made to myself .. So I have to work hard" Replied kyoko while playing with her dress.

"" She's So Beautiful… I wish she was mine for real not just as an act "" Thought Ren .

"I'm sure you will do great seeing how talented and hard working you are, In no time you will be the best in japan" Ren said while lovingly gazing at her..

Kyoko could not hide her blush seeing as how Ren was looking at her…And for a moment Wished…." If only I was that high school girl Ren Loved"

And her mood was not so good after this thought.

Ren Knew something was wrong with kyoko and asked " Is something wrong mogami-san?"

"How was your day tsuruga-san.?" She said Diverting the attention from herself.

Ren knew She was changing the topic but decided to let it go for now…"As Always.. The Modeling shoot had to be canceled for the day because the female lead for it couldn't make it today,, other than that everything went well"

While talking about their day they reached the Convenience Store and only kyoko went to shop for the groceries as Ren would have been spotted by the public the moment he got out of the car.

After She was Done they Left for Ren's Apartment.

…..

Upon reaching the Apartment kyoko was nervous as she would be alone and they have to practice acting as a couple.

Inside her head the Demon's were having a meeting of their own.

Demon 1: "How will Mama deal with all this?"

Demon 2: "We have to help her somehow so that she does not reveal her true feeling's."

Demon 3&4: "Yes! We Will Save mama From the King Of Darkness So that she does not get hurt again."

Demon 1: "Okay then It's settled."

-San ,, MOgami-san,,,, KYOKO!" called Ren for the fifth time.

"What.. What Happened?" Asked a very distraught kyoko.

"U have been zoning out for a while now. Is everything Alright""Yes, Yes its fine so what would u like to have for dinner Tsuruga-san" she hurriedly asked

Sensing her Hesitancy Ren did not push the matter forward and Answered " how does Hamburgers sound"The light in her eyes came back full speed at the mention of her favourite food..

"Really.. U don't want something else" "No. But if you want something else…before he could complete his sentence kyoko started cooking.

Upon seeing her in his house, his kitchen working like that Ren could not help but smile..

"" If Only I can make it happen for lifetime. Maybe I can tell her my feelings at the end of this event…. Oh how happy I would be if she accepted me but for that I have to tell her the Truth. I don't know if I'm prepared yet ""

And so he went towards his Bedroom to take a shower with his own thought's of their future.


Ren came back to the living room after taking a shower. While kyoko was finished with dinner.. He helped set up the table and both started to eat in silence , as ren was looking at her and she was trying to find a way on how to Act as a couple and hide her real feelings.

"Mogami-san." he started.

"Yes? Tsuruga-san"

"Firstly now that we have to act as a couple we need to call each other by our given names, is that okay with you."

"Noooooo! I'm just a lowly kouhai of your's Truruga-san and you are japan's number one actor how can someone like me call u by your given name, that would be so disrespectful.. "then what you are saying is that we are not friends' ren said being a little hurt " and I cannot call you kyoko , while Fuwa calls you without any honorifics"

Upon hearing the name of her nemesis kyoko's grudges were on Attack mode and coming out from around her….

Demon's All Together: Ahhhhh! The Darkness of Anger that's surrounding us ,,

Leader: "That Good For Nothing has given mama so much pain ,, have to kill him".

Demon 2: "Should we strangle him to death boss?"

Demon 3: "Let's just throw him off a cliff."

All Together: Let'ssss Do iT…!

Planning was in order on how to Kill Shoutaro. While forming incoherent words like " that Baka" " Jerk" When suddenly her Anger radar started responding Due to ren's fake smile. But not knowing why he was getting angry she continued… ( Here Ren knew what she was thinking from her expressions so he got angry)

" But I'm just a Plain, boring woman why would u want me as your friend-

"Stop Mogami-san," Ren took both her hand's in his bigger one's and loved how they fit into his so naturally " you are nothing of the things Fuwa mentioned, you are a gorgeous, loving, and most of all a caring and understanding women who everyone love's""but Truruga-san- she started again a little startled by his action's but not pushing him away.. Ren stopped her again

"It's Ren"

" But sempai how can I call you by your given name that's just not right"

"why"

"because you are Japan's top actor and I'm just a lowly kouhai of your's."

"Kyoko" said Ren sternly while a shiver ran down her spine by hearing her name come out of his mouth.. "Do you not consider me more than a sempai?" he asked

A small pink tinge rose upon her cheek's as she answered him..

"Ofcourse I do.. I condsider you a friend" and she averted his eye's from his gaze or would have seen the love in his eye's. Ren smiled at her answer with a gaze filled of love told her " then call me ren "

"But-

"please Kyoko" pleaded Ren. "Yes r..Ren" she half whispered ,, But Ren still heard her and gave her his real smile which was only reserved for her and no one else upon which her blush only intensified.


After that they discussed on how they will behave in public … Kyoko was quite jealous of the fact that ren had many girlfriends and started muttering "playboy" but could not help it as she knew that now he had a girl he loved dearly…..

" I wonder who is the girl Ren loves so much" was what she thought.

Ren helped kyoko with the dishes afterwards and then they watched a movie featuring ren for a while and then he dropped her at the place she lived in with her taisho and okami.. after reaching the Draumya they exchanged there Goodbye's.

"Goodnight Re...ren" she said with a hint of blush after getting out of the car.

"How I wanna make her blush even more just for me, And do much more to her and never let her out of my reach while I make her mine….. No … Ren behave yourself ,, she's only 17 and still not ready to love" thought ren.

"Goodnight Kyoko, rest well" He said with a charming smile on his face which the media would love to have many shots of.

Kyoko then walked to the front gate still blushing with a light smile on her lips and with a last back glance she entered the Draumya, and ren drove off back to his apartment. " Finally some progress, I can at least wish for something to change right" he asked himself on the way.

So kyoko entered her room while thinking of everything that happened today.. "get a hold of yourself kyoko he only like's you as a friend,,, you are only acting as a couple for a week ,, Ren has someone he loves" she thought sadly and a tear rolled down her cheek and with such thoughts she fell asleep.
