Epilogue: Moving Day

One month later

Kyoko carried in the last of her boxes, this one was small and contained things such as her curse doll supplies, and her small box that held Princess Rosa. She stepped inside of the apartment careful not to trip over the few boxes scattered throughout the living room.

Most of the items within the apartment were the same, she hadn't really had too much to bring with her. But Ren had taken it upon himself to spend the last month buying things to make Kyoko feel more at home. These purchases included more specialty cooking supplies, that Ren had had no use for previously.

She stepped into Ren's bedroom. Although, I guess it's our bedroom now. She thought as she set her box on the bed and began unpacking it. She opened the drawers of her nightstand and filled them with her things.

When she stepped into the large walk-in closet she saw that Ren had made sure to leave her plenty of space, although she sadly noticed she didn't have nearly enough clothes to fill that as well as the new dresser he had bought her.

She sighed, staring at the empty space. The sound of footsteps came from behind her and she turned to see Ren. She smiled.

"Here's a box labeled clothes. I figured you might want that in here." He set it down on the floor, then moved to hug her from behind. He rested his chin against her shoulder. "I'm happy you're here. It won't be so lonely anymore."

Kyoko poked his face. "Yes, but now you'll be miserable because you'll be forced to eat breakfast and dinner everyday."

He laughed. "I think I can handle making that sacrifice."

She turned around in his arms to face him. "You really didn't need to buy me a dresser. I don't have nearly enough clothes to fill it and the closet." She scolded.

"Well, that's all right, because soon I'll take you shopping and we can get so many things that you'll run out of space." He ruffled her hair affectionately.

She scowled at him. "I told you, you can't keep buying me things. You're worse than Cain Nii-san."

"Then maybe I'll just have to take Setsu shopping. At least she won't complain."

Kyoko's face flushed red. "You can't take her. Who knows what kind of stuff she'll pick out."

Ren leaned down to meet her mouth with his. The kiss was sweet but brief. He pulled away, a teasing glint in his eye. "Then maybe, Kyoko, shouldn't complain."

She stuck out her lip in a pout. "Fine. I won't complain."

He patted her head again. "That's better." He moved to leave the closet pulling her along after him. He led her to the bed and they sat down next to each other.

"I wanted to let you know, the director from your drama contacted me. Yashiro scheduled a meeting with him for tomorrow afternoon." He paused watching Kyoko's face for her reaction.

She nodded, "Do you know what he wants to discuss?"

"I don't know for sure, but I think he's wanting me to play a guest star role in your drama. I wanted to talk to you about it first though." He gently squeezed her hand. "If you tell me you don't want me to take the part, I won't take it. I don't want to take this away from you anymore than I already-"

Kyoko interrupted his speech with a kiss. "It wouldn't ruin anything." She told him, trying not to laugh at the look on his face. "In fact, I think it's a great idea. Having you in the drama even for just one episode would probably increase ratings."

Ren laughed at her way of thinking. "So you just want to use me?"

Kyoko nodded. "Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what it is." she laughed again at the indignant look he had on his face.

"Well, I'm glad to be of service to you." He said, pretending to be hurt by her words.

She reached up and ruffled his hair, copying his frequently used gesture. "Oh, Ren." She teased.

He grabbed her hand as she started to move it away, and used it to pull her to him. He stared down at her through his dark brown eyes. "I love you, Kyoko."

She stared up at him, and smiled. "I love you too, Ren. I really do."
