Ding dong

Kyoko's heart nearly stopped when the doorbell chimed, she had been in deep thoughts. She had been offered 5 roles that day and she didn't have any idea of what to choose. First there was a rather boring movie that she discarded immediately, the only thing left was to inform the director, also a rather dull man that smelled of fish. The second movie was more interesting, it was for a computer chick in a police drama. She has a sassy personality, and seems to be pretty fun, the third was out, it was a depressed woman who did nothing with her life. The fourth was a maybe, a drama about an airhead that somehow got through life on luck alone, and the fifth was the annoying girlfriend of the main character. She had finally picked the computer chick and the airhead, they were fun roles and nothing to intense about them. However if there would be any good offers after the last movie she would have to reconsider and maybe turn them down.

Ding dong…..ding dong….

"Yes, I'm coming just a second". She rushed to the door and opened it. Her first reaction was to close them again. Oh, shit. Ren stood outside in full demon lord mode. He knocked and she could feel his wrath in every knock, she held in her fear and slowly opened the door.

"Hello Mogami-san".

Oh, crap, it was one thing to face him full on in broad daylight around people, witnesses that could possibly save her.

"Hello, Tusuruga-san"

They stared at each other, and Kyoko felt like she was a little animal that a hawk had cornered.

"Aren't you going to let me in?"

"I….I…." she couldn't speak, for one he was way too scary but then at the same time incredibly sexy.

"Or do you have guests? Some blond Brit maybe?". He almost spat the last words out.

"No, no there is no one here", she said in an attempt to calm him down. "Vic was just stopping by on his way to the States".

"Okay then there are no objections to me coming in, are there?" He said as he strolled past her and looked around in the apartment. Then made his way to the living room and stopped there.

Kyoko was still at the doors trying to calm down, 'come on where is the Kyoko you were to day that stood up to him and won?' But however she tried she could not get back into that mode.

"Aren't you coming?" Ren called, and she could hear that he was still the Demon lord. She walked to the living room and saw Ren sitting on the couch and his long arms and legs somehow seemed to be a little bit out of place in the rather low sofa. Unintentionally she started to laugh. Ren glared at her, and she stopped laughing, scared to death.

Ren saw that and looked down, bottled down his anger, then he took a deep breath and looked back at her, now wearing a much softer expression. He could see how she relaxed and smiled a little.

"Kyoko", he started, but she stopped him.

"I need to go and get some tee, what kind of a hostess am I?" She said as she ran to the kitchen to get the tee. Ren just watched her as she engaged in a project after project, not letting him have anything to say or do. To her it was an act to separate her from him to collect her thoughts together. Finally after fifteen minutes he stood up, grabed her as she ran past him and gently put her down on the sofa and held her there.

"But the cattle is still on Tusuruga-san, I need to…" she tried to stand up but he held her firmly.

"No the damn cattle can wait, I NEED to speak with you". He said and the tone in his voice made her stop moving around and sit still. He sighed.

"I need to talk to you Kyoko and you have to promise me that you will not freak out until I have told you everything".

Kyoko could feel the urgency in his attitude. So she just nodded and listened to him.

"First of all, you already know that Tusuruga Ren is my stage name", she nodded and remembered when she had found that out, and the thought of the Beagle made shivers run down her spine. Ren noticed and took her hand to calm her, she pressed his hand gently and didn't let go. He continued. "You see, my real name is Hizuri Kuon".

Kyoko's jaw dropped. "What did you just say?". She looked at him with a new understanding, that's why. I mean how could I not notice, all the parts fit, he is so much like father.

"Please don't be mad, I wanted to tell you but I couldn't, not until I had beat my old man and now I have and I can tell you…." He was rambling back and forth.

"Kuon, Kuon, KUON, stop, I'm not mad".

Ren looked at her, "you're not mad".

"No".

Ren felt a load lift of his back.

"Is that all you had to tell me?" Kyoko asked.

"No there are two more things", he paused a little but when she said nothing he continued. "Second is that when we met three years ago, was not the first time. You see I didn't recognize you just yet and when I found out I was sure you hated me so I didn't want to spoil the image you had of me when I was young…." As he was talking all the bits and pieces started to fall into place and she whispered "Corn".

Ren stopped talking and looked at her. "So you realized it".

"Just now I did, why aren't you blond?" She said in a cheerful and a little annoyed tone. Then a little tear fell down her cheek. "Long time no see". Ren smiled, she was not angry now ether. He leaned forward and hugged her, "I missed you". They sat a while and embraced each other finally they pulled back and it felt like the argument earlier in the day never happened. For a while the talked about old times and about their life between seeing each other.

Finally Kyoko asked. "What was the last thing?"

Ren looked at her and a nervous knot started to form in his stomach. She looked at him and her eyes glowed with excitement. He took a deep breath.

"I…".

Ding dong.

Mwahahahahahaha I'm so evil. Suffer Ren, suffer. Everything was going so well for him I needed to do something to throw him of his horse. But what will happen next?

I will find out when I start to write the next chapter, but that will be the moment I post this one because I'm way to excided to know what happens next, I have some idea about it but nothing exact.
