Kyouko's Graduation Test was withstanding Ren's advances, and perhaps giving in to him. It was commonly acknowledged at LME. What wasn't commonly known about was Ren's first test of love.
Kyouko's womanly cycle hit her with a vengeance. Working together on yet another movie, Ren intruded on Kyouko's dressing room only to find her crawling towards the door and clutching her stomach.
Ren's reaction cemented his place in Kyouko's heart.
His hoarse cry of her name sent chills through any person within a 12 foot radius, including Kyouko. As they crowded in, they found Kyouko engulfed in Ren's arms, clutching her stomach and tearfully claiming she could continue the shoot. Ren hushed her, and carried her through the crowd to the director, where he immediately got directions to a doctor and approval to leave.
He carried her the whole ten minute walk across the building, and instead of setting her down to rest while waiting for the doctor, he stubbornly refused to let go until, sitting in the doctor's examination room, he was told he HAD to leave. When Kyouko stood up, she was mortified to see blood stains on Ren's clothing. Ren looked down and then….. Well, then he took a huge step backwards in his attempts to win Kyouko's heart.
Ren squealed like a girl and began stripping Kyouko to find where she was bleeding. Amidst her screaming, the female nurses were immobilized by the sight (i.e. nosebleeds abounded), and eventually it took four burly male nurses to finally restrain Ren. The casualties of the office were so high, he was later banned.
As the doctor examined Kyouko for unusual signs, the nurses were forced to give Ren a play-by-play to minimize the damage to the office.
They learned that the hard work Kyouko had done during her growing years had taken a toll on her body, and it was only now, as the physical demands of her body were lessening and the quality of the food she'd been eating were improved that her body felt able to continue her growth into a woman. The delay however caused a stronger reaction through her body, and at 20 yrs old, she'd hit the final stages of puberty with a vengeance. To simplify, her breasts were going to grow more, and her cycle would nearly immobilize her this time and possibly the next two times before it stabilized.
When Kyouko was given new clothes and the necessities, she shyly walked out of the office to Ren, mortified to have bled on him, ecstatic to be on the normal physical path, and ashamed of her weakness. The irritation she felt with Sho for causing this harm to her body was surprisingly fleeting, but she made a mental note to tell him all the gory details the next time he tried to bother her.
In Ren's case, he only had eyes for Kyouko and what she needed. He didn't even feel the need to change clothing (though everyone insisted due to sanitary reasons), and was waiting almost calmly to take Kyouko wherever she wanted to go. His schedule didn't matter (he was only working on projects with Kyouko while trying to win her affection anyway), but he was a little embarrassed at taking off Kyouko's shirt and pulling at her skirt earlier. Mentally dismissing it, he also made a note for Fuwa. There was this thing called an I-line along a person's body...and Ren was certain he could find some time to "talk things over" with Fuwa soon.
Thus, Sho Fuwa found himself bewildered by the pitying gaze of the Beagle's lead singer. His cryptic suggestion left chills running down Fuwa's back as Reino walked back to his own studio.

A/N: So I tried to reply to every review, but I think a few got lost in my rush to read them all. If I didn't reply, review and tell me so. I just might dedicate a chapter to each of you. Of course, if you lie, I will then lose all happiness, so please be careful. ^.^
