Act 60b

Authors Chat: I couldn't wait anymore to read the side chapter so I typed the Spanish version in google translate. No spoilers here people, just a lot of excitement and ! _!

Here's the second half of Act 60. Kyoko drew it in another direction than i had intended, and made it longer. this one was a little tough to weite. had to go back and review a few chapters of the manga for characterization!

That being said... -thoughts- "speech" *sounds*

Disclaimer: all the usual applies. Characters etc. the work of Nakamura Yoshiki.

Ren rolled Kyoko in his arms, raising her to meet his own mouth as his desire grew at her words. There was just something about her that drove him to tease her. Her innocence was one of the things he loved about her, and that sparked his playfulnes into overdrive. She was irresistible, and he let her know through his actions.

His kiss was slow, deliberate, and full of passion. His lips unyielding as they roverd over hers, gently forcing her mouth open as his tongue delved into her mouth, twining with her own in its own passionate embrace.

Time stood still for a moment while the world fell away around them. His lips parting from hers for but a moment as a soft whimper graced her lips, calling his mouth back onto hers.

He gently laid her down on the floor, lieing half beside, half on top of her as his hand slid painfully-slowly down to caress her face and neck, tracing her collarbone down to meet her chest and brushed the side of her breast as his hand moved further down and out to her hip.

He pulled her leg across his own then slid his hand back up her thigh , butt, then back, crushing her to him as he kissed hungrily at her soft lips.

"I told you those moans turn me on" he whispered huskily against her mouth as his lips played on hers, burning the places where they touched.

She tried to respond, but 'Kyoko' had short circuited, leaving a puddle of warm cream in her place. Her lips moved as she tried to find her voice, but the sound which came out did not emit from her mouth.

*ggurrgrgrggrrggle*

Ren's and Kyoko's eyes went wide as the sound filled the heavy silence, then Ren let out a laugh as he laid his head down on the floor by her head.

"Defeated by food."

He chuckled as he moved to help a frozen Kyoko up to sit.

"I'm so sorry Ren!" Her cherry cheeks flushed darker in embarrassment.

"It's alright. I wouldn't have resisted much longer anyway. This dessert was sweeter than anything I've ever tasted." He gave her a quick kiss and looked into her eyes, then turned to face the table.

Kyoko scooted up to the table, the new embarrassment forcing her eyes to bore a hole in the table. "Ittekimasu" she said softly before placing a small bite of the simple rice bowl in her mouth.

Ren sat watching her with a silly grin.

She wouldn't make eye contact, but watched him from her pereffrial vision. He sat forward to the table, adjusted his jeans at the unnatural bulge, then picked up his chopsticks.

Kyokos initial discomfort at their first 'Lesson' was forgotten as her mind processed his words.

-Sweeter than anything he's ever tasted? How many 'desserts' has he tasted!?- the corners of her lips tipped into a frown. -is he implying my lack of experience? Well so-oory for not having any partners for practice!-

Ren could see the wheels turning in her head and her smile disappear.

-Shit. Did I push too much again? I need to stop pushing or she'll run again.-

He reached a hand out to touch her shoulder.

"Hey. I didn't mean to push you again. You okay? was it too much?"

He wasn't prepared for the fire in her eyes as she looked at him from the corner of her eyes.

"I thought you didn't like sweet things." It was a statement, not a question, and Ren couldn't help but feel there was no right way to respond.

"Foods, not much, but... this isn't about food. What is this about? Why are you mad?"

"I never said I was mad, but I am angry - yes!" She stood up and took her bowl to the kitchen, then stalked to the hall bathroom and slammed the door in Rens face as he trailed after.

Ren stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the door. His mind reeled, playing back everything that had happened this evening, trying to figure out what he did.

Kyoko hid behind the door, realizing she was trapped.

-Baka! Why didn't I just get my coat and leave?! Would have been safer then staying here and risk being eaten up at least! No... Ren-San would never allow me to walk home this late. Ugh! It just rankles that I'm just adding up on his list of conquests! How many others has he 'taught' things to!?-

She ripped the door open, much to Ren's surprise.

"How many others?" She gllared at him.

"What? ...I'm sure I don't know what you mean."

Her eyes narrowed as her grudges tried to come out.

She slammed the door again, effectively slamming the door on her grudges. Despite how she felt, she refused to step back in her growth. It had been a long time since her grudges came out and even longer since they came out for Ren.

"Hey. You can't stay in there forever you know. Why not come out and talk to me sooner rather than later so we can get past this. ...at least tell me what I did wrong."

After a moment to consider if she really could stay in there forever, she slowly opened the door then crossed her arms across her chest.

A brief staring contest later, Ren said "you'll have to talk first so I know what you're angry about."

She huffed a sigh. "Fine. I'm angry because the things you do to me are things you practiced and perfected on other people! Maybe it's selfish, but I feel angry by it!"

-She's jealous? Really?- "Kyoko... I wish you were the first person I could ever share these experiences with, but you can't hold it against me when I hadn't even known you."

"Oh really? How many were there? And how many of them since I started at LME?"

"Four, and zero. Okay, make it five, and zero. The person who taught me was never really a girlfriend, just... just someone who used me for my body."

"And how many more do you have waiting?"

"... I'm sorry Kyoko... I think you're mistaken. You seem to have me pegged as some unrestrained playboy! That is far from the truth. In fact, every one of my past relationships was because they pursued me."

"T-then... they weren't... conquests?"

"FA-A-AR from it! I'm surprised you would even think that. Actually, now I think I'm mad a little. Just what kind of man do you take me for? The only woman I have ever pursued is you, and I certainly never intended for things to go how they did with the Box R situation." Ren raised his hand to ruffle his hair in agitation. "I'm no good when it comes to making a woman feel their worth. That's why every one of them left me." Sometimes it's hard to admit your own faults.

"I have always felt valued," Kyoko said softly.

"Then there you go. This is a new experience for both of us. Just because I have experience in some things doesn't make me an expert Kyoko, and besides. It's better that one of us knows what we're doing, right?" He chuckled nervously.

"I suppose you're right... but it still bothers me."

"And that's okay. Just don't hold it against me, and remember that everything I know, makes things better for you."

A faint pink tinged her cheeks as she stepped out of the bathroom and into an apology-hug.
