"Damn that Tsuruga Ren he really gets on my nerves." Kyo said angrily while Shoko applies an ice bag on his jam.
"He wouldn't hurt you if you did nothing wrong." Shoko said.
"So even my manager is on his side right now?"
"It's not like that Sho, but Ren is a man of few words for him to do a violent thing to you only means you did something that made him mad."
"If there is someone who should be getting mad that would be me. For him to act as if she owns my girl that means something!"
"Does that mean you still feel something for Kyoko chan?" Shoko asked in a worried tone of voice.
Sho embraces Shoko to ease her worry. "You are important to me Shoko san because you are my manager."
Shoko cries in Sho's shoulder, "Like Kyoko chan you also used me like her for your own good!"
Sho pins Shoko down to the futon and started kissing her. Shoko wanted to separate her lips from Sho but the feelings she feels for him was way too powerful that she submits herself to the desires of Sho.
Ren was about to return to Kyoko when he saw a young girl crying about the age of 6 that reminded him of Kyoko back when they were still children.
"Why are you crying little girl is something wrong?"
"My mother is not satisfied with my low grade in my quiz earlier in school."
"Why what was your score?" Ren said half kneeled in front of the girl.
"90." The child said starting to cry again.
The events that happened in the past flashed back to Ren after hearing the young girl, her first encounter with Kyoko and all the memories he had with her during that time. Ren wanted to stop the girls crying bought a keychain bear plushie at the store near them and gave it to the girl.
"A beautiful girl like you should not be crying because you are starting to look ugly with that sad face on you."
The girl smiled after Ren gave the keychain to her and thanked him by kissing him on the cheek.
"I shall remember you mister, my fairy who took my tears away may I know your name? My name is Sakura."
Ren smiled and said, "My name is Re-(pauses) Kuon. Don't cry again next time Sakura alright?"
"Yes." The child said smiling.
She reminds me of Kyoko a lot the teeth that has spaces, the crying the smile.
Ren bought a bag of candies for Kyoko to eat when he returns back to her.
I should have bought candies for Sakura chan also but she immediately left after I gave her the keychain. I wonder how Kyoko would look like seeing this bag of candies.
For the duration of the day Kyoko was silent unable to speak with the events that happened with Sho running through her mind. Kijema not saying anything for Kyoko's good remained silent guarding her. Kyoko noticing Kijema's effort finally breaks her silence.
"Kijema san I think it's ok for you to leave me." Kyoko said forcing a smile.
"Are you sure about that Kyoko? What if Sho attack you again unexpectedly?"
Kyoko was about to speak but her door opened with Ren smiling.
"Tsuruga san."
"How is everything back here?" Ren.
"Nothing unusual happened." Kijema answered.
"I really appreciate your help Kijema."
"Don't bother thanking me; even if you did not ask me to I'll protect Kyoko because I know just how important she is to you." Kijema said before leaving both Ren and Kyoko alone.
Ren handed over to Kyoko the bag of candies he bought for her.
"Munch them as much as you want Mogami san."
Kyoko was surprised to see a lot of candies inside the bag making her forget the incident with Sho earlier that day.
Ren puts his right arm at Kyoko's shoulder and pulls her close to him.
"I'm sorry if I was not able to protect you with Sho and left you alone to attend to a personal matter. I know those candies aren't enough to erase the trauma but it can make a girl's tears go away."
Kyoko was touched at Ren's words, she rested her head on Ren's shoulder and said, Thank you Tsuruga san."
After Sho was done with Shoko, he decided to call his mother to talk about something.
"Mom it's me Shotaro."
"It's a miracle for you to call me, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing really, I just called to ask you about something."
"What is it you will ask about?"
"About the deal, you had with Mogami Saena."
