Every member of the cast left to be with Sho and Shoko to the hospital leaving Ren and Kyoko alone in the conference room. Ren was sitting on the edge of the room with his body trembling all over; Kyoko brought with her a basin of water and a face towel to clean Ren's bloody fists.

"Why are you still here aren't you concerned of what happened to Sho?"

"Everyone was with him; I can't leave you alone for I am your girlfriend right?" Kyoko said smiling while cleaning Ren's fists with the face towel.

Ren intentionally pushed Kyoko down on the floor making her drop the towel and the water in the basin overflowing to the floor, Ren's left arm was under Kyoko's head that prevented it from hitting hard on the floor. Kyoko was palpitating and blushing on what Ren did, the feeling to her was like the time when they were acting as Katsuki and Mizuki in his apartment.

Is he losing his self again?

Ren caressed Kyoko's hair with his right fingers that melted her, the feeling was different from the time he caressed her before when he helped her to fall asleep for his caress this time was not out of obligation but of something deeper than that.

"I love seeing you relaxed like that Kyoko chan." Ren said in a voice when he was acting as Keisuke.

His voice was like that of Keisuke is he acting to make himself return to reality? But he called me Kyoko chan that he only did once when he was in delirium.

Ren reached his right hand over to Kyoko's left hand and placed it in his chest. Kyoko felt Ren's heartbeat that was beating rhythmically. Suddenly Ren's head falls over Kyoko's right shoulder and fell asleep. Kyoko placed her left arm around Ren's shoulders to make him feel secured.

Kuu opens the door and sees the two; he coughs to wake them up.

"I was wondering where the two of you went so I decided to return here to check and was surprised to see both of you in that position." Kuu Hizuri said.

With all her strength Kyoko pushes Ren over and turns away from him.

"It's not what you think father." Kyoko said blushingly.

Ren stands up and offered a hand to Kyoko to help her stand.

"We were just sleeping." Ren said.

"Fine whatever, I'll take both of you home then." Kuu said in a grumpy voice.

"No, please take us to the hospital where Sho was taken I have to say my sorry first before anything else." Ren said in a calm voice.

"Fine, he really took a beating from you and I can only tell you inherited that strength from your father." Kuu said mockingly that only made Kyoko and Ren laugh.

Meanwhile in the hospital Sho was being treated by the doctor with Shoko never leaving his side. Nabatame Yuuko and Kijema already left the hospital for their scheduled monologue recording for the day.

"You should have not asked Ren to fight with you."

"I am a man Shoko and I never back down from any fight."

After being treated by the doctor Sho was to be dismissed from the hospital when Kuu, Ren and Kyoko arrived.

"Director isn't that Kuu with Ren and Kyoko?" kurosaki asked.

"Yes it is them." Musashi said.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier director." Ren said with his head lowered.

"There is nothing to be sorry about you only released your anger and that is better than keeping it to yourself and suffering mentally afterwards. Sho was about to be dismissed he's inside." Musashi said pointing the room where Sho is being treated.

Ren knocked at Sho's room and the doctor greeted him. He was let inside by Sho and Shoko left the two of them alone in the room.

"I'm sorry about the way I treated you earlier Kyoko, my morning did not start right so I treated you like my rival but I actually didn't mean it." Shoko said in a kind voice.

"It's fine with me besides it was my fault to bump into you Shoko." Kyoko said happily.

"I should have not provoked you Tsuruga Ren." She said in a calm voice.

"It's already finished Sho, I am here only to say sorry."

Sho laughed and said, "It's not yet over Ren it's just starting."

"What are you implying?"

"The battle for Kyoko, whoever wins her heart per se? You may have won today but I shall remind you something you may have forgotten that the reason why Kyoko is in the showbiz industry is for me, to reach the level of the man she truly loves. "Sho said in a proud tone of voice.

Ren was struck down by a lightning on what he heard but he only smiled.

"You are proud to think that Kyoko still loves you, but I shall tell you that it was on the past."

Ren turns around Sho and walked hastily away from his sight.


REMINDERS: Sorry for making Shoko a little ooc on the last chapters, i just imagined her having a bad day so she was easily irritated and all. xD
