Realizations

Kyoko opened her eyes and found herself in a large bed. After a second or two her mind started rethinking her situation. The moment of consideration was enough to realize, she was in Ren's house, in his room, but above all- in his bed. At first, she wanted to run away, but then it hit her- she agreed to MARRY him. There was no way to escape from words she said, right?

Well, it is not that she didn't want to get married. She always dreamed about it. Beautiful dress, small chapel, family… Of course in her dream she was a princess, he was the prince, and they were ridding a white horse to get to their beautiful castle.

Kyoko was now lost in the thoughts, in her LaLa land. She stood up on his bed and was role playing King, Queen, prince, princess and the priest. That is when it hit her. Ren's parents! She never got the chance to meet them. They must be really beautiful and king-like. That made Kyoko shivers. What if they don't accept her?

Kyoko recalled how she worked hard for Sho and his parents. It took her years to make them accept her. What will she face being with Ren? What kind of skills will she have to get in order to become someone they approve?

Just a thought about rejection made her sink into the covers. The atmosphere became dark. She heard the noises of footsteps coming to the room's doors and she pretended that she was sleeping. She certainly didn't want to worry Ren about her doubts. It will make him only sad and after THAT look, she didn't want to see it again. She had already decided to do everything to make him happy, so she will just work harder in order to do so.

Door opened and Ren came in.

"My princess in still sleeping… Hm… Should I wake her up with the kiss of a true love?"

He was amused, because he heard her jumping on his bed. Now she looked however like if she was in coma, sleeping hard- TOO HARD. His words resulted by her murmuring and rolling to lay on her stomach. That way her face was covered, he had no access to it.

Her reaction was cute and Ren couldn't contain the smile or rather the grin on his face. If he had the doubts about her being awaken, now he was sure.

"Oh she is sleeping. I wander what should I do…?"

He slipped into the bed onto the covers. He could sense she stiffened. Ren expected this kind of reaction. Today's events must have been shocking for her. He however couldn't contain his happiness and all he wanted right now was to kiss her all over. Simple touch would be enough though because he only wanted to know if she didn't change her mind. Her fainting was unexpected and he was a little scared what caused it. He would take her to the doctor in the morning. Lory even made sure they had two days off to made thinks straight in their RELATIONSHIP.

Ren turned also to lay on the stomach and watched her face for a while. Something was bothering her, it was obvious. Was it his presence? It hurt just to think that. He must make her talk to him about it. Just then a marvelous idea came into his head.

He crawled to her and bent to reach her blouse. He grabbed the material by his teeth and pulled it down to reveal more skin. Now he could see her hair sticking in every direction. He grinned. She still tried to pretend she was sleeping. He bent once more, this time to the neck now reveled. He put a kiss on it. She still didn't move. His eyebrow rose. He blew another part to kisses this time going down, revealing more skin. It made her break.

Kyoko couldn't believe the things he was doing. First he wanted to kiss her like in the sleeping beauty and now he was attacking her even more in sleep! Was it the way a fiancé acts?

Kyoko lived in Kyoto serving in an In. She faced many situations, what also included marriages and so on. She got the clue that fiancés are more lovely-dovely… But she was scared now. She didn't know if she was prepared to do THAT kind of stuff with Ren. On the other hand… in her body started to feel hot thanks to his touch.

When he pulled the material too low she couldn't control the escaping reactions. It started to tickle so she wanted to hide from his lips. She turned around and now she was facing Ren completely.

Ren couldn't hide his content when she finally reacted. It turned out surprisingly nice for him. She rolled and her collarbone was now frontally before him. She had scared look in the eyes so he stopped the urge to kiss her again. Instead he leaned down and laid on her.

"Um… Ren?" She still looked like a deer caught in the lights.

"Sh… please let me stay like this. I've got something important to tell you…"

"Important?"

Ren nodded his head which she felt completely with her skin. He had his head on her chest and half of his body was now squashing her, not letting her go. He put his arms around her and sighed.

"Kyoko, this is really hard for me. I never ever told about it to anyone, even my parents. They probably somehow have a clue about my doings… but right now I want you to be the first to know… the real me… You did promise to marry me, but after hearing my story… You can cancel your promise, I will understand it…. So…"

Kyoko instinctively put her hand in his hair and brushed them to calm him down. She could see his suffering and hesitation. Even though it was hurting him, he decided to reveal his identity and his past to her… He wanted to talk about his parents and even mistakes… How could she not accept him? She hugged him to herself, letting him know she will be patient and she won't judge him. This way he could be sure his secret will stay with her.

Ren relaxed in her arms and started his long and painful story. They smile together, laugh together, but mostly cry together. Late at night they fall asleep only to wake up in each others arms and begin the story from where they left it. When he ended, she reached for him and comforted his tired heart. Somehow everything he said to her made him more human and now her sempai was more to her like a long lost friend. He wasn't anymore like Corn but they still were able to find their own little world.
