Act 2: The Revelation

"Mogami-san, if you need help, than ask. You know you can always come to me for help," sighed Ren as they headed out to the car. She always seemed to have a way that made you feel guilty for ever even getting mad at her. "I know you don't care for help, neither do I. But there comes a time when we can use a little help."

"I don't deserve the help," wailed Kyoko. "And you're always so busy; I wouldn't want get in the way, Tsuruga-san."

"When does he usually come around," inquired Ren. He had made up his mind as to help her as soon as he could, whether she asked him or not. He wasn't about to let her suffer.

"He always ruins my lunch break when I'm on set."

"I'll try and see if I get the time to fix that. Maybe he'll get the hint." 'And maybe he'll learn more than I want him to know as well,' added Ren in his thoughts as he pulled up to drop Kyoko off at home.

"Arigato Tsuruga-san. I should be seeing you at the Agency here soon. The President wants me to entertain his granddaughter during a meeting for him tomorrow morning."

"Ah, the same meeting I'm in. Of course. I'll be seeing you soon enough than. Take care, Mogami-san. Mata ne," breathed Ren. He couldn't help letting his guard down around this girl and ended up being much nicer than he intended.

"Mata ne, Tsuruga-can," stammered Kyoko scrambling to get inside as fast as she could. She couldn't handle it when Ren would behave like an angel to her so the sooner she got away the better.

'I've really got to learn to stop running her off. One of these days she won't come back around me at all. But how can I stop something that I don't even know how to stop,' pondered Ren as he headed back home.

"So, what is it you are usually filming when he shows up? Are you going there today,' questioned Ren as he came out of the meeting?

"Well, usually it's Box R. But I'm sure you've got much more important things to be doing, Tsuruga-san," she replied. The president had already took Maria with him.

"I've already made up my mind. I wouldn't be able to work properly knowing that Mr. Stalker is waiting in the bushes for you."

"I wouldn't say he was hiding. Especially not in any bushes," laughed Kyoko. He always had this way of putting her mind more at ease. "Well, as long as you aren't missing anything important, I guess its not a big deal."

"Looks like your learning a little bit. Wasn't so much a fight this time over this. Now, Mogami-san, I'll give you a ride over there. The sooner we get there the sooner we can get this over with," Ren said, 'Maybe now I'll get to see how much this man really know about me,' he thought.

"It sure did take you a while to come out here to me, Kyoko-chan," cooed Reino. Lunch break had finally arrived, and with it came Reino. As he had promise, he was waiting outside for her once again.

"I'm amazed you actually came today. What is the excuse for coming this time," questioned Kyoko already aggravated? She waited until Ren was asked a question by the director to slip out unnoticed. She hadn't ask for his help so she decided to try to get him to leave on her own first. "It really isn't a good day to be here. You should go."

"Now why would I do something like that? I took time out of my schedule to come see you. And doing it every day is even harder," retorted Reino, slowly inching closer.

"Than don't do it at all," announced Ren, walking out the door, already pissed off.

"Ren Tsuruga," Reino exclaimed!! Quickly backing off and into a more suitable position to get away if the need be, he continued, "W-what are you doing here?"

"I'm not surprised. Mogami-san came out here trying to get rid of you first, but she didn't say a word about me being here?"

"N-no. Not a word," Reino stammered. Looking over at Kyoko, he thought, 'I know I should get the hell away from this man, but I wonder if I could make it interesting.'

"Good. You didn't deserve a warning."

"Tell me, Ren Tsuruga, what's your real name?"

"Its none of your business. And what's with the sudden change of topic," Ren inquired, getting more irritated as it went on.

"Just curious. Just like I'm curious as to the circumstances as to why you gave the stone, 'Corn', to Kyoko-chan years ago," smirked Reino. The moment he saw the look on Ren's face after that comment, he split. 'I can see I did what I wanted to do. Now, I best get going before I end up road kill."

"Tsu-Tsuruga-san? What does he mean? You are Corn? But you can't be," stammered Kyoko!?

"I…..I'm afraid that what he said is true, Mogami-san. I gave you that stone….."
