Yo guys!
I wanted to post something extra, because it felt incomplete. And don't worry, it is just an extra of how they both fell in love. I feel obliged to complete the triangle.
She was sitting quietly as she recalled him trying to speak to her again. Even though she hinted it to him last time that she wasn't interested in him, he kept advancing towards her.
He looked around to make sure no one was watching. It was the night he had left the Patel residence right after he met her and he was standing right outside the target. He looked around if he could find any unintended intruder, and also for a way to climb the wall.
His eyes landed on the thick water pipe that ran till the roof. He expertly gripped the pipe with both hands and placed his toes on the metal that kept the pipe in place. and forced his body to move upwards.
It took some time before he could reach the room and took a deep breath when he was just a foot further.
She was humming to herself while cutting the vegetables. Then she heard the most ear piercing scream of her life.
AAAAHHHHHH!
She snapped her head and saw a tall man fallen upside down in her broth that was simmering near the window over the gas she had started.
She quickly helped the person up and gasped when she realized who it was.
"Mr. Tsuruga!" she exclaimed.

He kept wincing as she applied the cream and tried not to blush when her hands ran on his chest.
When she finished, she got up and looked at her work, before looking back at his face.
"Pfft." she covered her mouth and suppressed the laugh that tried to escape.
He growled and winced when his face hurt from the burn. "Hey! Madam, it isn't my fault that you started the fire near the window. I just wanted to speak to you."
"You could've simply come the next day."
"Well, you seem to be avoiding me."
"I am not."
"Then why were you hidden in this tower?"
"I..." she started but stopped as she realized that she was about to reveal.
She looked away and he slowly rose. He looked at her gently, and whispered, "You don't have to pretend anymore. I know your secret."
She looked at him puzzled, "What do you know about me?"
"I know for a fact that you are the actual adopted daughter."
She stood shocked as he took her hands in his and looked in her eyes pleadingly, "You don't have to endure this, I can handle this case from here on. You can run away and no one will know."
She gave him a sad smile and said, "This is my fate and I have to face my problems alone. If I run away, then I will be a coward."
He knew she was lying but he held his tongue. But then looking at the broth he winced. Noticing this, she suppressed another giggle.
"Please, Ms. Emma, don't tell anyone about this." he pleaded
"Why should I not?"
"Because you wouldn't want your secret to be out, would you?"
She pretended to think and gave him a childish nod as he let out a sigh of relief.
She sighed as she drank the broth she placed in front of herself, offering him some too.
"Your food is simply splendid."
She gave him a shy smile. "Thank you."
Then her face fell as she realized that this man would never like her, even she held strong feelings for him. He took another meaning of her sorrowful face.
"Then how about me telling you that this isn't your fate?" he challenged.
"What, pray tell, are you trying to imply?"
"That you are here for a case, not simply because they simply found you. But you offered yourself." he declared, watching as her face coloured in different shades of shock.
"Kyoko, are you sure this guy you met in the party and who came in that house is the person you are trying to help?"
She stopped dusting the walls and replied, "Yes."
"He seems so..."
"I know, mysterious. But he is gentlemanly. "
Kanae narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms diligently, "Don't tell me you have taken a liking for that snoopy man."
"You don't have to be hostile, Kanae. He was very kind, but he was polite enought to reject the other women's offers."
"I wouldn't still believe if you too told me that he hasn't even looked at another woman."
"I don't think...But how do you know...?"
"Oh I-I" Kanae stuttered, knowing that she was trapped.
"Who told you?" she asked curiously as her friend's face coloured bright red and she looked away.
"It was Yukihito."
"Yukihito?"
She ran away, as Kyoko laughed, seeing how her friend was clearly smitten by some guy.
She watched him as he spoke to Mrs. Morris, her supposed mother.
She clearly could see how he grabbed her full attention.
No longer unable to wait, she resigned to sitting on the edge of the fountain, and this started writing a letter to Mr. Yashiro.
And then her breath was caught in her throat as he approached her and listened to her with great interest.
Even though her heart had been closed for so long, she can clearly feel her heart racing.
Which meant he was trouble.
And then she sighed, recalling how in the first place she decided to close her heart.
Then when she met him again, she felt her locks breaking open slowly.
And she couldn't do anything to stop it.
Author's Note:
I would have written more, but I didn't get anymore ideas. I hope you have liked this little extra chapter, this was soemthing I felt incomplete even if some of you felt that the story was absolutely fine. I cannot assume that some of you may be feeling incomplete, But I can say, that maybe someone out there was wiishing for more RenxKyoko moments.
Rest of it I leave it to you.
Goodbye, And have a good day!
I sincerely hope you'll have good lives and problems that are easier to handle, because they are inevitable.
