Kyoko's head was one solid ache. It pounded as she rolled over to look at the clock on the bedside table. It was almost 11 am.

What the hell? she thought as she tried to sit up suddenly and only moments later realised how stupid this was as she vomited the entire contents of her stomach over the large king sized bed.

Ren heard the gagging. He had left the door open so he would be able to hear if she woke up and he sprinted down the hall and into the bedroom. He didn't look twice at the soiled sheets, just ran straight to Kyoko's side rubbing her back with his large hands. He held her steady until the convulsions stopped and handed her the glass of water.

She looked away from him with tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry Kuon. I will clean it all up right away." She tried to climb out of the bed but he pushed her back as he gathered all the bed sheets up and carried them out of the room. God he probably hates me now. Look at the mess I made of his bed and now it stinks in here. The tears flowed down her face as she imagined Ren sending her back to Darumaya. Not that she didn'[t want to see her mom and dad but she loved being here with Ren. She was happy living here with him, even if it had only been for a few days.

Ren walked back into the room with clean sheets slung over his arm. Seeing Kyoko crying on the bed he rushed forwards. Dropping the sheets on the end of the bed he sat beside her eyes full of concern,"Are you OK Kyoko? What's the matter? Does your head hurt? Do you still feel sick?"

She shook her head softly, the motion itself making her feel nauseated. "You're going to send me home aren't you?"

Ren looked completely puzzled by her question as he held her shoulders she felt clammy. So reaching back he flipped out one of the clean bedsheets and wrapped it around her tiny frame. "What are you talking about princess? You are home?" Just those simple words were enough for Kyoko. She flung her arms around him crying into the crook of his neck as he slowly held her close to him consoling her."What's got into you? Are you still feeling a little drunk?"

she shook her head lightly and quietly replied, "I thought you were going to send me back to my parents house." She sobbed as he held her close her arms holding on to his solid, strong body with what little strength she had. He felt so safe. She felt at home in his arms. Ren chuckled as he stroked her back softly .

"You thought I would throw you out for being sick. Oh princess you are silly," he said holding her close so happy that he could hold her like this and hear her upset at the thought he would be leaving him.

"I wasn't only sick. I came home at a stupid hour and I was drunk and underage and I've probably ruined your bedsheets." She sounded so small and fragile as she spoke but his chuckle made her feel at ease.

"The sheets are already being washed. You coming home drunk is the very last thing I would be bothered by. You had a fun night out with your best friend and if I was to shout at you for drinking underage I would be damning myself 5 times over. I was already drinking at the age of 14."

Kyoko pulled away a little shocked at his words. "14? But that's so young," she whispered.

He smiled at her with a cheeky smile, "What can I say? I was a very bad boy."

She giggled as he made a mischievous face at her. Gently wiping away the last of her tears with a soft thumb he kissed her head gently. "Now here is something for your headache. And when you are feeling a little better I will go grab us an early lunch what do you think?"

She smiled at him as he handed her some pain killers and reached again for the water on the bedside table. "You're too good to me Kuon," she said smiling as she knocked back the tablets with the water. Gently laying her back down on the bed he opened up the other sheets and placed them over her as he opened the window slightly to give her some fresh air.

He sat and watched as she slipped off back to sleep. I really am the luckiest guy in the world, he thought as he smiled down at her.

*Ding Dong*

Ren dried his hands quickly on a towel as he walked to open the door and smiled when he realised who it was. Pulling it open Yashiro and to Ren's shook Kanae entered.

"Hello Ren-san. Hope I'm not intruding I came to see how Kyoko-chan is feeling and met Yashiro outside."

Ren smiled at her. "You are always welcome here Kanae-san."

She smiled and looked around, "Still in bed?"

Ren nodded. "Go on back though I'm not sure if she is awake yet. Oh and be careful. I think her head is feeling a little delicate."

Kanae chuckled as she took off her shoes and padded silently through the living room towards the bedrooms. Yashiro looked a little bit startled by Kanae's instant knowledge of Ren's apartment and Ren knew instantly why.

"Don't worry Lory sent all them over with Maria-chan to help Kyoko settle in. They took great pleasure in telling me how they left no door unopened and no cupboard either for that matter."

Yashiro chuckled as he walked forward carrying the bag of food Ren had asked him to pick up on his way over. "I brought loads. I thought we could all eat together."

Ren smiled at his manager. "Sounds great." He started pulling plates from the cupboards and glasses for drinks when he heard Kanae burst into laughter from the bedroom.

Yashiro cocked his eyebrow as Ren replied, "What's the bet she has just told Kanae that she thought I was going to send her back to her parents house all because she was a little sick on the bed this morning?"

Yashiro looked at Ren dumbfounded as he thought about what Ren had just said. "She thought you were going to send her home?"

Ren nodded smiling as Yashiro chuckled shaking his head, "If only she knew that now that you have finally caught her you will never let her go."

Ren nodded smiling as they fell into companionable silence each intent on his own task.

Ren was right Kyoko had indeed just told Kanae about her morning when she burst out laughing at her friend.

"Mo! you baka! Ren-san is not going to send you home for something as silly as that!" she chuckled more as she watched Kyoko squirm in embarrassment. "Now why don't you go have a shower and I will pick out some nice clothes for you?"

Kyoko looked at Kanae's smiling face. "You seem happy today Moko-san."

Kanae looked back at her from the entrance to the closet. "Mo! What are you trying to say? That I'm never happy?"

Kyoko shook her head forgetting the terrible aching that the tablets had lessened but not taken away. Kanae giggled as she grasped her head. "Let's just say I have a very silly best friend who has made me smile by doing and saying silly things. Now go shower."

"Baka," she said giggling softly as she pulled out a pair of skinny black jeans, a nice light white flowing top which was off the shoulder with three quarter length sleeves and pair of flat red pumps. Grabbing a casual suit jacket she placed them neatly on the bed.

15 minutes later Kyoko entered the living room looking a little brighter. Her 2 friends and Ren were sitting around the table laughing and drinking tea and coffee.

"Feeling better?" Kanae asked as she looked over her handiwork. She looked good even if she did say so herself. The outfit made her look mature and sexy all at the same time and from the look in Ren's eyes he approved.

"Come sit down Kyoko-chan. I've brought something to fight off the evil hangover," said Yashiro pointing to a tray full of New York style bagels with different fillings. She could see salmon, cheese, bacon and so many more. She didn't know what to think. "Ren asked for these specially for you. He says he was quite fond of them when he was living at home," he continued as she looked at the selection.

Ren stood and pulled out a chair for her. As she sat down he asked,"What would you like to drink? Tea, coffee juice or water?"

She smiled at him. "I think coffee would be good."

"Well don't stand on parade. Dig in everyone."

It was an enjoyable lunch with everyone laughing and joking together as they slowly made their way through the tower of bagels.

It was 5:30 and Kyoko sitting in the front of Ren's car with Kanae and Yashiro in the backseat wondering what was going on. Kanae had insisted she let her do her make-up before going out and she had done a really nice job. She wasn't so sure about the bright red lipstick but Kanae assured her it looked good so she didn't moan.

Pulling up in the underground parking lot for TBM Studios Kyoko looked around.

"Why are we here?" she asked as the other 3 exited the car.

Ren looked at her. "I thought you may like to come and see how your senpais are and to cheer Chiori on. Don't forget she's not been playing Bo as long as you have." Kyoko blushed at Ren's hint to her secret time as the chicken mascot Bo. As they all entered TBM Studios together he held her hand and squeezed it lightly. "I always did have a soft spot for chickens."

She laughed leaning her head against his shoulder with Kanae following behind with Yashiro. He smiled as he took her hand and squeezed it and let go.

hmm who thinks Ren may not be being entirely honest with Kyoko?

Oh well better wait and see what happens :P
