Take you driving
Ren walked down the hall taking deep breaths to calm himself before he arrived in the foyer where Kyoko would hopeful be waiting with his parents. He slowed his steps as the double door appeared before him; he paused for a moment at the door to shake away the last of the anger from his body before he opened it. Ren looked around and felt a deep happiness fill him as he observed how Kyoko interacted with his parents the future flashed before his eyes, Kyoko in a wedding dress, family dinners ,his parent dancing with a little Kyoko look alike as he hugged Kyoko on the sideline ,Kyoko talking to his mother over cups of tea in there house .
"Ren are you coming?" Kyoko asked awakening him from his train of thought he nodded "yes, sorry I got lost in thought"
Kyoko reached out and grabbed his arm "anything I can help you with." she asked gently the warmth flowed into the spot her hand was placed on his and she smiled up at him
"it's alright I was just thinking of what to do with the Hizuri's this afternoon" Kyoko smiled doubled and she looked towards them "Hizuri-san asked for me to cook a Kyoto style dinner tonight for him and Julie-san and I was wondering if I could use your kitchen ?"
"of course you can Kyoko as long as I get some as well, but we'll need to go shopping beforehand" Kyoko nodded she then dropped her hand from his arm and Ren resisted the urge to grab her hand and put back it onto him. "Thank you Ren, we should join Hizuri's and let them know where to come tonight"
Kyoko walked towards Julie "Ren said we could use his house tonight for dinner" Julie looked over at Ren and smiled
"Thank you Ren"
"You're welcome Julie but honestly I'll do anything to get some of Kyoko Kyoto style cooking"
"You and my husband both "reply Julie giggling lightly "I may need to kidnap her once this movie is finished"
Ren laughed and enjoyed the shocked look on Kyoko face "you'll be in for a real battle to try and steal her away"
Kyoko blushed lightly and Kuu pull her towards him "now Ren my friend I do believe Julie and myself will be able to win that battle after all there are two of us and only one of you" Kyoko watched on in shock as Ren just shook "We shall just have to see about that, how about tonight we do battle and Kyoko here can pick the winner" Kyoko shook her head "Ren, Kuu please stop being silly my cooking not that good"
The guy just waved her off "I accept your challenge young sir "Kuu bowed towards Ren "and my lovely wife shall make the challenges we have to compete in, that way we both be equally unprepared"
Julie placed her hand over her heart and said in a completely serious tone "I shall be honoured to set your competition challenges tonight"
Kuu smiled pleased with his wife response "Then to the victory goes the spoils but don't worry I'll let you see Kyoko-Chan ever couple of months if I win"
Ren held out his hand to Kuu "May the best man win"
Kyoko just looked on trying to figure out what was happen when she sudden begun noticing how similar Ren and Kuu looked when they stood this close together ,both were tall with board shoulders ,there facial stature was based on the same shapes ,they had the same chin and body build , They looked like they could be father and son. Kyoko smiled Shingai-san had picked well for the roles
"Well Ren I look to tonight we shall be at your place around six o'clock "said Kuu waking Kyoko from her observations
"Are you leaving so soon, I thought we were supposed to be showing you around" she inquired pointing at Ren and herself as she talks before she looked from Kuu to Julie who both shook their heads in response
"No sorry we have an interview that we must attend at Panko studios" answered Kuu watching the look of confusion cover her face before she bowed slightly to him
"Oh good luck with your interview and I'll see you tonight"
Julie reached over and hugged her "see you later dear" before she stepped back and looped her arm around Kuu's elbow and walking out of the lobby.
"Ren didn't you say they were waiting for us?"
"They must have just wanted to set up tonight's dinner, I'm sorry if I mislead you"
Kyoko battered her eyes "oh that makes sense" she bit her lip slightly ", do you have anything you have to do now?"
Ren smiled "just some food shopping, shall we go now or we could go visit Tokyo dome and kill an hour or two before we shop"
"Ren we can't go to Tokyo dome what will people think if they see us together "she asked "it'll be fine Kyoko, I have a hat and sunny in the car and no one will be expecting us there so even if someone call the press we'll be gone before they get there" Ren grabbed her hand and looked at her with puppy dog eyes "Let's go have some fun"
"Yes ok let go to Tokyo Dome just stop with the eyes please" Ren smiled and started walking them towards his car at top speed so that she didn't have a chance to change her mind.
Ren opened the door on his passenger side of his car for her, closing it gently once she had seated herself and then rushed to the driver side to get in. Within seconds they were driving at what Kyoko considered to be a rather excess amount of speed ,the trees and building flashed by in a blur of colours Kyoko looked over at Ren and felt her heart start pounding against her chest was this feeling of longing every going to go away Kyoko somehow doubted that was very likely when Ren kept doing thing that made her feel like she was the only girl in the world .Kyoko started to feel depressed he loves someone else she needed to stop thinking like that .As if sensing the shift in her mood Ren reached over and grab her hand "Hey are you ok you've gone quite" Kyoko looked down at the hand holding her hand, enjoying the feeling it sent into her body and decided it that moment that no she wouldn't stop thinking like that. Maybe it was time to stop fighting herself and start fighting for what she wanted and that was for Ren to love her. She squeezed his hand lightly
"I'm fine Ren, just enjoying the view"
