Kyoko went outside the spring house to the large tree, took a seat under it and gazed peacefully at the moon and the stars. Ren followed her all the way there and seated beside her carrying his bottle of sake.
"I thought you were inside enjoying the drinks with them?" Kyoko asked.
"I was but when I saw you went out, I followed you."
"It was not necessary to follow me here and disrupt your drinking session, I'm sorry for that." Kyoko said smiling.
"I carried a bottle of sake with me here to drink so my drinking session was not disrupted. I was worried something might happen to you in this unknown territory." Ren said before taking a sip of his drink.
"Unknown territory but this place is privately owned by our producer and we are the only people in here so nothing fishy will happen."
"How do you explain the incident in Karuizawa?" Ren said who looks serious.
"It was a different thing besides nothing happened to me because Sho rescued me."
The name Sho rings a bell in his mind it just makes him mad thinking of that name and now hearing it from Kyoko, Ren gulped everything from the sake bottle he was carrying and crushed the bottle with his right hand.
Kyoko look scared upon seeing what Ren did, she was not able to move from her place but seeing a bloodied hand from Ren returned her thoughts to reality. Kyoko tear a piece of her kimono to wrap it around Ren's bloodied hand.
"Tsuruga san are you alright why did you break the bottle with your bare hand?" Kyoko said in shaking voice.
Damn it what did I do, I have broken the bottle with my bare hand in front of Kyoko? This is stupid Ren you just scared her! What must she thinking right now? I must make an excuse for her not to worry.
"I'm fine, maybe I am drunk that's all. I'm sorry for scaring you." Ren said as he placed his left hand on top of Kyoko's head.
"I should have not left and this would have not happened." Kyoko said feeling guilty.
But he maybe reacted like that because he remembered the events in Karuizawa . I should be careful not to mention it again in the future or he will just burst his anger out like this.
"You did nothing wrong I also wanted to get out of there for Kijema's jokes drains me." Ren said laughing.
"Is that so, what are his jokes about?" Kyoko asked curiously.
Ren's face turned red before answering in a low voice, "Green jokes."
"You have no interest in such things?" Kyoko asked in a surprised tone of voice.
Tsuruga Ren is a man and yet he has no interest in things like that, it is unusual Sho likes such things and yet Ren does not? Maybe that is the reason why he does not have a girlfriend right now and the reason why his past relationships did not last.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"Nothing it's just unusual."
"Unusual? Are you implying something Mogami san?" he asked with his left eyebrow raised up.
He raised his eyebrow he must be getting mad with what I said, I must divert his attention somehow.
"Tsuruga san, do you like looking at the stars?" Kyoko asked to divert Ren.
Ren's attention was diverted and he looked at the sky to see the stars. "Yeah I like to look at them, how about you?"
"Very much. I remember looking at them every time when I was young. They remind me of Kuon."
"Kuon, how come the stars remind you of him?"
"He's an angel and angels are up in the sky like those stars, that is why they remind me of him. He's like a star shining brightly for me and now you can also see him up there."
"Do you want to see him more clearly?"
"Of course but how?"
Ren hold into his left hand Kyoko's chin and brought his face near her and stared in her eyes that was glowing, it made her hurt pumped so hard that it pumps 120 beats per second and as he caressed her hair with his right hand it made her feel an electric shock.
"Can you see him now?" Ren asked and was closing his face near Kyoko about to kiss her but suddenly Kijema called him.
"Hey Tsuruga Ren, why did you left me drinking there alone?" Kijema asked in a drunken tone of voice.
Timing why did Kijema suddenly came here looking for me?
Ren removed his hand Kyoko's chin and patted her head with his right hand to make her return to reality.
"It's getting late you should be getting to sleep at this time." Ren said as he stood up offering his right hand for Kyoko to hold on to as she gets up.
That's strange did he try to kiss me just now?
"Where have you been I am looking all over for you, (seeing Ren's right hand) what happened at your hand?" Kijema asked looking disoriented due to the effects of alcohol.
"Nothing I just had a little accident with a bottle of sake that's all." Ren said as he placed his arm around Kijema's shoulder to help him get a steady gait.
"Oh is that so? Let's go inside and have more drinks then." Kijema said as he walked with Ren back to the room where everyone was drinking.
Kyoko was walking behind them with Kijema not noticing her. She was silent since Ren tried to kiss her with her thoughts running of what happened with them. From the odd reaction he have when she said the incident in Karuizawa to the almost kiss with him.
Maybe because he's drunk that is why he acts strangely tonight. I should get to sleep now.
Kyoko went straightly to her room to sleep while Ren continued to drink with the rest of Sakura Love team.
It was 9 am when Kyoko woke up, she walked through the hall and saw Ren sitting on a branch of the tree where they talked last night.
"He's up already? Tsuruga san must have a hangover I should go there to give him a warm drink." Kyoko said as she rushed to the kitchen.
After Kyoko prepared a freshly brewed tea for Ren, she rushed to him.
"Tsuruga san, get down there I have prepared a tea for you!" Kyoko said with her head tilted upwards for Ren to see.
Without a moment of hesitation Ren jumped off from the tree making him fall in front of Kyoko.
"Thanks for preparing a tea for me Mogami san." Ren said as he drinks the tea Kyoko made for him.
"Hang over is it?"
"Yeah but not as worse as Kijema's."
Kyoko was a little hesitant when she asked Ren, "About last night, do you remember everything that happened last night?"
