All of this end of school stuff and exams are keeping me away from writing, so bear with me please.

i don't own skip beat.

Ren's bar was a mess, no thanks to Sho crazy fans.

When Sho strutted in with all his past glory, the girls went even madder and started to demand to have him sing from them, how they still loved him no matter what. It made Ren roll his eyes at the way Sho took in all the praise, at least he was a bit more gracious and didn't sign his fans bodies.

Kyoko was looking at Sho's fans in a look of wonder and discuss. Ren noticed and asked what was the matter.

"I learned to act, some on my own and a bit from Takenori, and I felt like I was finds out who I was and what I wanted... To didn't care about fans or being famous, but they are important to actors."

"Fans either build you up or tear you down. For Sho here, they might just bring him back to the top."

Kyoko pouted, "Now I wanna get up there more."

"Get up where?"

"I want to be an actress, so obviously I want to be a part of a company. Me and Moko are actually going to meet LME's president... Ren? Something wrong?"

Ren's face had gone blank, "That man?"

"Do you know the president?"

Ren paused, wondering if he should tell her abut his acting career. "Kyoko, I have something to talk with you about."

"Yeah?"

So Ren told her about his acting career and how he couldn't act out a romantic role. He started from his beginning and how he rose to fame and his love for acting.

Kyoko listened intently and asked when he was over, "Do you love acting?"

"Of course!"

"Then what are you doing running a bar?"

"I..." Ren thought it over, "I'm not sure."

Kyoko took his hand, "Then come back into acting, and I'll meet you there," she winked, "I know you can be romantic. But don't use that charm of yours on other girls." She threatened lightly.

Ren smiled softly and embraced her, "I love you Kyoko, I promise I won't look at another girl."

Kyoko blushed in his arms and hugged him back, "you just remember that."

He chuckled and brought his lis down to hers as Sho started to sing. Kyoko parted her lips for him, and he gently kissed her again and again. His hands roved her back and held her against him while her arms wrapped carefully around his neck.

Ren broke away and took steadying breath, she made go bonkers with longing.

Kyoko went up on her tip toes and kissed his cheek, "Will you go back?"

His answer was a passionate kiss, "Yes, and I'm taking you with me!" and wrapped his arms around her waist and twirled her around, making her laugh, "and I'm taking you with me!"

A grumpy voice back from the bar, "Wasn't there a problem?"

Kyoko looked over her shoulder to see a grumpy looking Kanae and a happy Hiou. Kanae was wearing a tube tank, shorts, and high heels. Her hair was straight with only a few hairs out of place.

Hiou had on a rumpled striped blue and white shirt, dark blue jeans, and a pair of black converse. His hair was messy and it sometimes went in his eyes.

Kyoko grinned sheepishly, "Ah, sorry. I everything was fine when Sho turned up," she gestured to the stage that could partly be scene from their spot at the bar.

"Geez, and after we had to go through all the trouble of getting here." She grumbled.

Kyoko laughed, "You mean rolling out of bed and getting dressed?"

"Actually no," said Hiou, "We ran into a grill outside the apartment. She was acting weird. She was going back and forth between an ecstatic expression of wonder to a depressed to a furious 'I will crush anyone who will get in my way' look."

Ren raised an eyebrow, "That doesn't sound so strange, Kyoko looks like that at times-"

Kyoko's face was red as she put an elbow into her love's stomach.

Ren wrapped an arm around Kyoko's waist, "You know it's true though."

"Oh hush, or I'll elbow you again."

Ren grinned and kissed her head, "I love you," he murmured into her hair.

Kyoko's face blushed deeper, "I love you too."

Kanae turned away from her best friend at that point so they'd geese privacy and went off into the section of the bar that still had some books. Hiou followed the beautiful raven-haired girl who stole his heart, as he had something to discuss with her.

"Hey Kanae..."

Kanae jumped a bit, causing the Shakespeare book she had in her hands crash to the floor. Her cheeks turned a bright pink as she bent down to pick it up.

Hiou crouched down, on eye level with her. Seeing him so close made Kanae blush even further. Then she stood up fast but knocked her head into a shelf, causeing more books to fall.

Kanae touched her sore, throbbing head. That had hurt.

Concerened, Hiou took hold of Kanae's head and pulled her up to his chest. He placed his other hand gently on spots all of her back and kissed her head. The two sat there, with Kanae's head against his warm, comforting chest, relaxing into him, and Hiou breathing in her scent and rubbing small, warm circles on her back.

Kanae's eyes shot open and she leaned away from Hiou, leaving an empty, forgotten warmth against his chest where she had been.

The girl who never loved another man felt so strange, she ached for his touch, his scent, his warmth. Her back, where he had beescrubbing with his fingers, felt so cold without his hand there.

Hiou's hands stayed outstretched for a moment longer, then he lowered them and spoke, "Since this morning, you've had your guard up, a mask that wouldn't let me see what you were thinking... And for a moment back there, it vanished. So I'm asking you, is being with someone with a big age difference that bad? or is it me you can't stand?"

Kanae had her arms wrapped around herself, she was shaking so bad.

"Do you love me? Or do you not care for me?"

Kanae was speechless, her lips parted with no words to speak with.

Hiou looked at her for a moment, planning to leave her there with the fallen books to think. Then, Kanae leaned foreward, threw her arms around his back, and kissed him.

The two crashed into a bookcase, making the novels fall onto of them. But neither noticed. Neither cared.

Tears were streaming down her face and mixed in with their kisses. Hiou detatched himself for a second to kiss her tears away, then he kissed her again. He of licked his tounge over her lips and moaned.

Kanae responded to his noise by opening her mouth and deepening the kiss.

Much to Hiou's dislike, she pulled away, but he kept his arms around her, keeping her only a few inches away.

"Hiou... I do like you, a lot. And I'm not sure of everything cause I just met you but... I don't think I can see myself loving anyone else. Much like I can't see myself being in any career besides acting. But then the age difference..."

Kanae fell quite, so Hiou leaned in and kissherHer skin at the base of her neck, more towards her right shoulder. He kissed and sucked and repeated, and Kanae didn't protest a bit.

He pulled away and saw her blushing furiously, and a nice hickey forming on her. "Now your mine, and no one's gonna change that, no age difference, and everyone will know that I love you."

Her expression softened and she leaned in and kissed him lightly before sitting next to him. "Hiou?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think I'm your other half?"

Hious took her head, leaned it against his shoulder, and stroked her hair softly. Kanae closed her eyes.

"Yeah, I do."

Nice ending :) and I promise for more KyokoxRen in the on coming chapters, I have one more obstinate for 'em.

If you're wondering(side note to Kanae and Hiou) I thought it would be a bit more dramatic to not see/know everything going through their head and just go by actions(for the most part).

If anything was confusing, ask please!
