"How do you feel?" The concerned manager asked Kyoko who was packing her things.

"I'm fine Yashiro san, are you concerned because of what happened earlier?" she said as she tops what she was doing to look into Yashiro and smile at him.

He knew he was not ok he can see it through her eyes but what can he do he's just the manager of Ren the man who should be here comforting her. Still he wants to do something for her as a friend and Ren's trusted person to take care of her in his absence. Slowly he approached her and placed his long arms around him and pulled her close.

"I may not be Ren but you can still use my shoulder when you need someone to lean on Kyoko san."

When she felt his warmth of friendship that was when she burst herself into tears that she was holding. Her sobs hurts him for she is her friend what more to Ren who loves her so much he thought to himself.

"Thanks Yashiro san for always being there." Kyoko said in between her sobs.

He scoffed and said, "Anytime, I am your friend Kyoko san."

I'll protect your relationship with Ren Kyoko san.

The cold night breeze was going through Ren's clothes he was sitting by the bench outside the house patiently waiting for Kyoko. The cold weather did not bother him for seeing Kyoko will bring warmth to him.

After waiting for half an hour they finally arrived it made him happy inside but Sho was the one who approached him first.

Sho was grinning when he was approaching Ren and whispered at his ear, "Kyoko was a good kisser, she was able to taste my mouth with her tongue skills."

His words made Ren's stomach turn upside down his calm face turned into his demon lord persona and clenched his fists tightly breathing heavily and was ready to strike him but his arms were stopped by his father.

"Let it go Ren, don't let his mind games intimidate you." Kuu said prompting Sho to leave.

Sho left smiling to his heart's content that was when Kuu removed his grasp from Ren's arms.

"Remember what I told you Ren." Kuu said before he took his leave.

Ren sighed as he remembered what his father had told him to do.

"Tsuruga san!" Kyoko said smiling as she was running towards him.

Seeing her smiling brought light to his now dim mind he missed that smile. He smiled back at her and embraced Kyoko when she was in front of him. Kyoko missed him also, his scent his embrace everything about him.

"Excuse me." Yashiro coughed.

Hearing Yashiro made Ren break his embrace to Kyoko.

"How's your head?" Kyoko asked staring at Ren's temples.

"It's fine nothing to worry about." He said. "You must have been tired from whole day of shooting why don't you take your rest now."

"Yes sir" She said mocking a salute.

It made both men laugh at the sight of her saluting in front of them. She was a bit irritated but laughed along with them and tiptoed in front of Ren to kiss his forehead.

"Migraines will not hurt you anymore." Kyoko said blushing at what she just did and left immediately embarrassed at herself.

Both men were surprised at what Kyoko just did, she kissed Ren's forehead without any of them expecting. The thought of it made Ren blush and then his father's words ran through his mind again making him shift back to reality.

"How was her shoot?' He asked to prevent Yashiro from bombarding him questions about Kyoko's sudden impulsive move.

"It was fine although something got a little out of hand."

"What was it?" Ren asked looking a bit concerned.

"Her kissing scene with Sho it got a little overboard, though it was his fault. Kyoko was deeply mad and sad form what happened so I asked her to cry on my shoulder to release her emotions." Yashiro said, calmly to Ren.

Good thing he sent his manager to Kyoko, now he understood why Kyoko was lively when she approached him and gave him a kiss on his forehead. Yashiro is someone he trusts the most even the most important person in his life can be entrusted to him in his absence.

Kyoko cannot sleep she was thinking of her kiss to Ren, it was simple but all of her love was there in that kiss like a charm that will prevent him from getting migraine in the future.

Did I just kissed Tsuruga san's forehead? It's not like me I act like I was not myself back there, oh no how did he react is he mad from what I did?
