Thank you Meli and twilightserius for your reviews it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside And to all others who reply after I post this thank you! I LOVE LOVE reviews.

When the two actors were done changing they met up with Yashiro who had Kyoko's food in one hand and a slightly smug smirk on his face. Ren gave a mental groan at the thought of all the food. They sat down and Kyoko passed the food around and there was silence for a few moments as they took the first bites. Yashiro spoke around a mouthful of rice.

"This is delicious Kyoko chan." The praised girl beamed at him and turned to Ren telling him what food was good for what and how important.

"You have to eat it all Ren San, This is one serving of all the nutrients that is needed by the body." She emphasized her words with a sharp nod and wide eyes, Ren looked at Yashiro and his eyes narrowed slightly making the young manager slightly nervous. He turned to Kyoko,

"Kyoko chan today's acting was really good…ah I remember now you preformed the tea ceremony once before didn't you? With Ruriko San right? I remember you did very well than too and you had an injury no less! Where did you learn it?" Yashiro looked at Kyoko with wide eyes.

Kyoko winced slightly and she looked down her hands clenched and the words that came out were forced.

"Sho Fuwa and I were childhood friends and I knew his parents well….they ran a hotel and it included the tea ceremony. I didn't realize it than but my entire life there Fuwa's mother was training me to take over the hotel one day…in other words she expected me to…" Kyoko paused and took a deep breath her next few words were full of anger and made both men draw back slightly. "She expected me to one day marry her son." There was a moment of silence and Kyoko looked up to see both men stare at her with slightly shocked expressions.

"I would NEVER marry Fuwa I hope he dies!" Kyoko then fell into a miniature rant about how awful Sho was. Her invisible demons lashed around her and the chopsticks she was holding snapped. Kyoko was started and looked at the broken sticks in her hands. She put them down and looked sheepishly at the two stunned faces. Yashiro spoke hesitantly

"Kyoko chan you don't have to answer me but…why do you hate Fuwa so much?" Kyoko looked at him and her words came out slightly broken

"He used me." That was all she said before she fell into silence The rest of the meal was finished in silence along with the car ride home. Ren dropped Yashiro off and then proceeded to take him a Kyoko home. They were almost there when Kyoko spoke suddenly. "Ren San could you please stop at market up ahead, I need to get a few supplies." Ren smoothly pulled into corner market his face neutral but in his mind he couldn't help but think how ironic in was. One of the most famous movie stars in Japan was going grocery shopping. He pulled on his cap and glasses before following Kyoko in. He watched as the young women whizzed though the store grabbing items from different places. He couldn't help but notice that she got the most expensive brands when she reached to grab a soy sauce that was ten dollars when there was one almost the same for three he reached out to stop her.

"Kyoko san why are you getting the most expensive ones?" She looked at him with huge eyes.

"Because Ren San deserves the best." Ren paused for a moment and his eyes warmed. He plucked the bottle from her hand and replaced it with the cheaper one.

"I think this one is fine Kyoko chan I don't have to have the most expensive stuff" He recognized her stubborn face and stopped her before she said anything.

"I don't mind, Really." Kyoko paused and nodded before continue to shop. By the time she was finished her basket was full. They walked to cashier and before Kyoko could pull out her money Ren had a card out and scanned before she even realized it. She gaped as he quickly signed the receipt and hand it back to the cashier before realizing his mistakes. His eyes widen behind his glasses and he spun around as the cashier glanced at the signature. He quickly propelled the girl out of the store and winced at the echoing yell.

"OH MY GOSH IT'S REN TSURUGURA!" There was loud screaming and a hoard of people came pouring out of the store as Ren peeled out of the lot. Once they had lost them Kyoko spoke up. "Ren san I can't make you pay for the stuff! You're already letting me stay at your place! This is to much!"

Ren smiled at her, "It's fine Kyoko san I don't mind, your going to be cooking for me and Yashiro anyway it's the least I can do." His words did not reassure the poor girl who continued to worry over the fact that Ren had paid.

"I'll pay you back!" Kyoko dug in her bag and pulled out her wallet but a firm hand covered hers and she looked up startled into Ren's eyes.

"It's fine Kyoko."

Her mind shorted out at the pure gentleness washing off of him. Her invisible demons started to smolder and melt away giving off screams of agony but Kyoko didn't hear she was still in shock; he had used her name with no added formality. For the rest of the ride she kept running that thought through her head and when they pulled up she numbly got out of the car and pulled out the two bags of grocery out with her. She snapped back to attention when she felt Ren gently take one of the bags from her. She followed him in and set to put the things away with Ren helping. When they were done they sat down in the living room.

"So Kyoko chan what are you going to do the rest of the day?" Ren looked at his watch, 3:00 and he was done for the day. He heaved a silent sigh but snapped out of it when Kyoko spoke up.

"Um Ren san I was wondering…if you would like to go search for a new apartment with me…"her voice trailed off and she looked up shyly. Ren smiled.

"Of course." Kyoko smiled brightly and she rummaged in her bag for a few moments before pulling out a sheet of paper.

"I have a few addresses here that fit my price range." Ren took the paper and looked at it for a few moments before shredding it to pieces. Kyoko stared at him in horror her mouth opening and closing like a fish. Ren looked at her,

"No, these are not good places for a woman to live in especially a budding actress." Kyoko wailed,

"But those were the ones best for my price range!"

"That may be but I still say no, remember our previous agreement; I said that I had to approve of the place." Kyoko looked at him with huge eyes,

"I can't stay here forever Ren san! I have to find a place plus I can take care of myself!" Ren smiled and touched her head gently,

"I'm sure you can but I would worry." Ren smirked mentally as Kyoko instantly clammed up at the very thought of making him worry.

"Come I think we can find something in this city."

…………………………………Three Hours Later………………………………………

Two people sat on a bench one with auburn hair and an innocent face which was currently full of worry. The other figure sitting next to her had a hat and glasses on. He had long legs that were stretched out in front of him and black hair.

"I'm so sorry Ren San"

"It's alright Kyoko san I'm just really surprised that there isn't a single place that will work." Ren leaned back and turned to look at Kyoko he smiled.

"Don't worry you can stay at my place until we find a suitable living place for you."

"EHH! Ren? Kyoko? What are you two doing here?" The two looked up into the surprised face of Lory.

" Takarada San! What are you doing here?" Kyoko sat up and looked at her boss.

"I was taking a walk with Maria" Ren spoke up then,

"Maria is here?"

"Yes we felt like taking a walk and she just ran off a moment ago to pick some flowers. Ah here she is now." A small girl ran up to them a handful of flowers in her hands. When she saw who her grandfather was talking too though the flowers fell and were forgotten.

"REN!" The girl leaped into Ren's lap and sighed happily when he hugged her gently.

"Hello Maria how are you?"

"I'm good, Kyoko nii san!"

"Hello Maria" Kyoko gave the sweet girl a hug. Lory who had been forgotten for a moment whimpered.

"How come I don't get a hug?" Three pair of eyes rolled at this and he pouted "Fine be that way." After a few seconds he brighten up again. "So what are you two doing here?"

Kyoko replied to this one.

" Ren San was trying to help me find a place to stay."

"What happen to your old place?"

"Oh the people who owned it left so I'm staying with Ren San until I find another place."

"You're staying with Ren eh…." Ohohoho this is too good!

"Ah Kyoko chan I can help you with that you see there is a building close to Ren's place that is partly owned by us one of the rooms is ours actually you can live there is you like." His words were barely finished before Kyoko threw herself down at his feet.

"Thank you so much! Thank you thank you thank you!" Lory looked at her oddly before pulling her up.

"Its no problem at all Kyoko chan its time we put that place to use anyway. Come I'll show you the place."

………………………………10 minutes later………………………………………..

"Ahhh! Takarada san I love it! Its perfect! Kyoko stared in amazement at the room in front of her. The apartment was a block from Ren's and only three blocks away from LME, plus a there was a corner market right down the road. The apartment was very large a spacious with two bedrooms and one bathroom. There was a large kitchen and even a balcony. Kyoko turned to Takarada and started at him with tear filled eyes.

"Thank you so much Takarada san. You don't know how much this means to me!"

Lory smiled at waved it off.

"Oh I'm glad you like the place it's been empty for quite a while now. We had a maid come in every three months to clean the place up but other than that it's been empty. Let's see that room has a king sized bed and the guest room has a queen sized very good other than that you will have to get your own furniture Kyoko San."

"That's fine! What do you think Ren?"

"I think the place is perfect Kyoko San."

Lory watched as Ren's face softens slightly as he talked to Kyoko he smirked and glanced at his watch.

"AH! Maria we have to go now your piano lessons start in twenty minutes!" Lory and Maria dashed out the door leaving behind Ren and Kyoko.

"….Well Kyoko san shall we return to my place? We can start moving your stuff in and you'll probably be able to move in by tonight." Kyoko nodded and followed Ren out making sure to lock the door to her precious new home. Soon they arrived at Ren's place she waited as he went inside to grab the storage keys before coming out. He smiled at her.

"Shall we?" Kyoko smiled and followed him together they loaded his car with boxes and bags. After a while they finally finished and Kyoko ran upstairs to gather a few other belongings. She came back down carrying a small duffle bag along with her large vase with her precious rose in it. Ren smiled at the sight of the giant rose that the girl treasured so much. He helped her into the car and after making sure the table tied to the roof was secured he got in and started the car. It only took a few minutes to get to Kyoko's new place and soon they were unloading her stuff.

"Um let's just put things on the floor for now I don't have anyplace to put it yet. I shall have to go and find some furniture soon." Kyoko beamed at Ren

"I'm so happy I found a place to stay!" Ren smiled at her and set down the last of the boxes. He watched as Kyoko quickly and efficiently made the bed ready to sleep on. He had given her a set of extra sheets and pillows for her new giant bed and he smiled as he watches Kyoko bounce on it happily.

" I'm going to leave now ok Kyoko san?"

Kyoko looked up and smiled.

"Thank you for everything Ren San!" Ren nodded and went out the door locking it for her with a key. He paused…her key he didn't realized till now that Lory had given the extra to him he looked around and put the key in the mouth of a statue that was next to her door. He would have to tell her about that later but for now he had other things to take care of. Through the door he could hear Kyoko talk to someone on the phone no doubt it was Kanae San. He walked though the hallway and got in the elevator. As the door closed he couldn't help but feel slightly sad that Kyoko would no longer be in his house. He shook his head he shouldn't have such thoughts like this…

"Moko chan it's perfect! I love my new place its so wonderful! I'm so happy but I'll have to go and but some furniture I think there is going to be a flea market next Saturday I'm sure I can find lots of stuff there!"

"Kyoko you can seriously think of getting stuff from a flea market can you?"

"Why not?"

"….eh" background Kanae! We need you over here!" "Alright coming!"

"Hey I gotta go Kyoko I'm glad you found a place to stay. Ja Ne."

As the older girl hung up plans started to form if she arranged a party for Kyoko people could bring furniture and other things that she would need…but would she throw the party? An image of a smug Ren made her mind up for her. She was going to throw the party and she would definitely beat Ren! A smirk crossed her face as she began to make a mental list of what to do and what she would bring.
