Just Another Day
Chapter 3

Ren sat in his dressing room between scenes staring at his reflection. If one looked carefully enough, they'd notice that around his eyes were dark circles. He had not been sleeping well. Ever since he kissed Kyoko, he'd been on edge. The girl didn't remember a thing.

In a way, Ren mused, that had to be a good thing. If she remembered then things would be awkward between them. So that was a momentary lapse of judgment on his behalf. He would remember the tender kiss and it would stay a memory. The only other witness of the event didn't even remember it so there was no way a legitimate rumor of it could be started.

Everything was okay.

Now, he really should get back to the set.

------

Kyoko was walking back to Ren's dressing room, a coffee in each hand. She hummed happily as she weaved around various crew members and cables.

A hand clapped down on Kyoko's shoulder and she screamed.

The person attached to the hand screamed as well.

"Yashiro-san!" Kyoko gasped. "You scared me!"

"Kyoko-chan, you scared me," Yashiro retorted.

"Kyoko-chan! Are you okay?" Miyako ran over.

"I heard you scream. Is this man bothering you?" Miyako wrapped her arms protectively around Kyoko.

"Oh, no. Miyako-san, this is Yashiro-san, Tsuruga-senpai's manager. Yashiro-san, this is Miyako-san," Kyoko introduced the two.

"Nice to meet you," Yashiro held out his hand for Miyako to shake.

"What? No! That means Kyoko-chan will go away!" Miyako pouted, tightening her hold on Kyoko. "Miyako-chan loves Kyoko-chan!"

And then Miyako kissed Kyoko full on the lips.

Kyoko froze.

Five crew members stopped and stared.

Four of them had nose bleeds.

Three pairs of glasses cracked, including Yashiro's.

Two cups of coffee fell from Kyoko's hands.

And one Ren Tsuruga entered the set.

-----

A dimly lit familiar car.

Thoughts of destroying Shotaro.

A gentle touch.

The King of the Night.

Soft lips.

Darkness.

----

Kyoko scurried back from Miyako and into a wall.

"You kissed me!" she pointed her finger at Miyako. Miyako nodded cheerfully.

"And... and you kissed me!" Kyoko accused as her finger moved to point at Ren. Ren froze, his eyes wide.

Gasps filled the air.

Kyoko immediately fled the set.

"So, it seems like you had fun while I was away," Yashiro muttered to the stationary Ren.

This snapped Ren out of his daze. He glared at Yashiro before chasing after Kyoko.

"Mogami-san!" Ren ran after the pink clad girl. He knew she possessed insane strength but he'd never seen her move this fast. He thanked his lucky stars for his long legs as he closed the gap between them.

"Mogami-chan!" he called as he moved closer and closer. He was able to reach out and grab her around the waist.

Their momentum sent the two tumbling into the grass. Ren immediately cupped one hand behind her head and the other at the small of her back, reminiscent of the time she fell in his kitchen.

"Mogami-chan, please don't run from me," he murmured desperately while burying his face in her hair.

"You kissed me in your car," she whispered. "That's what I couldn't remember. Why? Why would you do that? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

"No!" Ren vehemently denied.

He let out a sigh; then pulled back so he could look Kyoko in the eye.

"Mogami-chan, you... you are very special to me," he started. Kyoko's cheeks reddened.

"You're special to me. I like you. But I don't deserve to have these feelings. And I know you're not ready to romantically care for someone either. I shouldn't have kissed you the other day. I lost control over my feelings. But I won't apologize for kissing you. I want to remember that. It's special to me," Ren awkwardly shifted his gaze to the grass.

Kyoko lay in the grass stunned. He didn't dislike her. He liked her.

"I can't fall in love again," Kyoko said quietly when her brain started to function again. "I can't fall in love but maybe we could be friends. I like spending time with Tsuruga-senpai."

"Yeah," Ren smiled softly. "Friends."

The two smiled as they gazed at each other. Finally, Kyoko felt the need to break the silence.

"As a friend, I'd like to tell you that you're heavy and ask if you could please get off me," Kyoko gasped.

Ren laughed heartily and rolled off the girl. He stood and held out a hand to help Kyoko up.

"We better get back," Ren stated. Kyoko nodded and the pair headed back to the set, still hand in hand.

"So, Miyako-san kissed you too?" Ren couldn't help but grin.

Kyoko groaned, "I thought she liked you!"

----

Back at the set, Miyako had her arm draped around Yashiro's shoulders.

"Miyako-chan likes boys and girls! As long as they're cute!" she exclaimed happily.

She halted all movement when he threw her a freezing glare. Miyako caught sight of Ren and Kyoko returning. She ran over to them and hid behind their backs.

"Miyako-chan doesn't like this manager! Kyoko-chan should stay instead!" she wailed unhappily.

The End


A/N: That's all. Don't ask for more. Seriously. I left it open to imply that they are a bit more than friends but we all know that Kyoko's too oblivious and Ren doesn't think he deserves love. But I believe that they'll eventually get their acts together. As long as it doesn't take the Ryuji/Tsukasa and Akira/Tsukasa love triangle way out. (They're from Tokyo Crazy Paradise another series from Nakamura Yoshiki.) So yeah. Anyone expect that from Miyako? She was needed for Kyoko to remember the kiss with Ren.

I had Ren call her "Mogami-chan" instead of "Kyoko-chan" because I think that would freak her out even more.

Also, vesper-nova had asked if Kyoko's first kiss was with Sho or if she stole one from Corn while he napped. I intended it to be Sho. They've known each other for ages so I guess it was only natural. I think Kyoko would be afraid to kiss Corn because she believed him to be a fairy. An otherworldly being. Like she wasn't good enough to kiss him. You know?

What did you guys think of the BJ scenes?
