Fear and the unspoken answer

Ren stood under the shower for a longer while. Those hours spent with Kyoko went so quickly… Everything was so hasty… They couldn't stop talking almost two nights and the whole day. Now, when many important past matters were clear… he finally got some time to stop and think about their current situation.

First- she loves him, he loves her= check!

Second- they are supposed to marry some day (hopefully soon) = check!

Third- they both revealed their secrets and sorrows, there was nothing coming between them right now= check!

Forth- They were on a holiday, which for both is rare= check!

Fifth- They were alone! =check, check, check!

Even though realizing that made him excited… There was also a very unhappy thought. What if she couldn't forget about Fuwa? What if she changes her mind? It hurt them both speaking about him.

Ren smiled sadly. There was something Yashiro was always saying… That he is the most wanted person in whole Japan for woman to hold tightly… yet Kyoko is different. She is the only girl, who he couldn't deceive with his super-gentlemanly- smile. She was the only one who could make him blush… and show up many other faces…

Somehow he was in the same time sure about her faithfulness and yet unsure if he himself was able to make her happy. He was scared to lose her love and yet he desired her with his heart and body.

Suddenly conscious about her presence made him nervous. The day which was suppose to be ahead of them… He wanted it to be special for her. Even if the future shows up to be different form his dreams, he wanted for her to keep the memory of this day as a treasure.

He smiled with toothbrush in his mouth. That's what love is all about, huh? To keep thinking about the other… not only yourself. There was something he was also confirmed about- the best philosophy comes in the most unexpected ways (or situations).

For the first time since a long, long ages… He smiled brightly and felt as if he was flying. He prepared the best clothes, put on his best cologne… He brushed his hair too many times (nerves)… and entered the kitchen, HER sacred place.

Kyoko prepared the breakfast and she done the bed. Ren occupied the bathroom for a longer while which made her recall THAT evening, when they started for the fist time as Cain and Setsuka in a hotel room. She blushed at the thought. It was the first time when she had the chance to see a man naked and she screwed it. Her Ren's doll is still not perfect; there is some important detail that is lacking.

Stop thinking about it Kyoko! This is a sexual harassment you are thinking about! It is impure! Illegal! Immoral! Just wrong! Her angel appeared and warned. On the other hand there were an army of little demons behind her: You want your doll be perfect? Do it! Just do it! You are going to DO it soon, so what is the difference- now or later? Seduce him! Use him!

Kyoko froze. DO IT? OMG! OMG! OMG! Kanae asked me about it earlier! She was even surprised Ren didn't make me do perverted stuff! She was convinced that we already had s…s…sex! Does that mean we were supposed to? Is it the way it is? Sho didn't even kiss me… but I guess he didn't count… What am I suppose to do?

Ren entered the kitchen and wanted to smile widely just from looking at Kyoko. It was obvious her mind was overdoing. He couldn't however see her face so it was all her body language told him. She was holding her head with both hands and her body was shaking side to side. He smirked and slowly, quietly walked to her. Probably because of her screaming mind, she didn't notice him staying behind her.

His smile widened even more. He suddenly grabbed her in waist and pulled into embrace. That seemed to woken her up from talking to her angels and devils. She jumped in sky, only his hands stopped her. His hands tightened the embrace and he bent to kiss the base of her neck.

"Why?"

He was taken aback. Her question was odd and he didn't know what to answer.

"…You… kiss…"

He released her from embrace to look closely into her face. She used this occasion to take a few steps back.

Ren couldn't help but to grin seeing her flustered expression. He always dreamed about her being conscious of him and finally his work had paid off. He took a step forward and she took four back, blushing horribly.

"Why, you ask…. Well… I got to kiss you BABE just because I can…*"

His expression suddenly changed and she didn't wait any second more. He became Emperor of the Night and that meant only trouble. She turned around and quickly ran for her life. She could smile and laugh with Corn, work with Tsuruga Ren, talk and spent time with Kuon… But with Emperor… it was different.

When Emperor is in action, there is no way to think rationally- that is for sure! And right now she needed time to rethink The Sex Problem. There was only one solution- find a place to hide. There was also only one place to do so- bathroom.

He was better in a longer distance race. His long legs gave him the advantage and he could thanks to them catch up to the prey quite quickly. This time however the distance was short and she took quite a few steps away from him at the beginning. There were also the turnings, where one needed to be very agile… With large body it was impossible to do them better than her.

She locked the door just in time.

"Now my turn to shower, you go ahead… eat breakfast!" Her voice was shaking a little.

He murmured with dissatisfaction. But minute later he smiled to himself again and quietly said: "You can't stay there forever, can you?..."

Ren listened when she turned the water on and then he used this moment of noise to walk out of the apartment, locking it from the outside. He smirked "Just you wait…"
