Kyoko closed her eyes , her heart racing as the man she loved pulled her into the sweetest and most loving kiss she had ever experienced. He was both rough and unbelievingly tender at the same time, as he ravished her mouth, desperately trying to express his true feelings for her.

Almost unconsciously, Kyoko put her arms around Ren's neck, pulling him closer as she timidly returned his kiss. She gave him a quick lick In his mouth after which he suddenly pulled away.

" Do you understand now?", he asked her, love and frustration showing clearly in his eyes. "Do you understand how much I love you? It's always been you Kyoko...Ever since the time you took care of me...when you fell into my arms in the kitchen…and I vowed never to let anyone hurt you again. I tried to stop loving you...because there were times when I felt so hopeless, knowing you would never return my feelings…but the harder I tried, the more difficult it was for me to give up on you. It's been frustrating to love someone who refused to love again, frustrating to never be able to truly confess my feelings, frustrating to never be able to hold you, love you, touch you, kiss you.."

Kyoko felt a lump form in her throat. The tears threatened to fall once again. Had she really hurt him so much? Had he suffered so much because of her? And all because he..

" I love you , and I never wanted to let go off you. I wanted you to heal from your past wounds and move on. I never stopped hoping, you see. I hoped that one day you would finally see me as a man.. finally think of being with me.. building newer, sweeter memories with me.."

Kyoko placed her hand on his. Her eyes were shining with happiness. She wanted to dance and sing and jump for joy! He loved her! He really truly loved her! And of one thing she was sure. The man before her, he would never abandon her when she would need him most. He would cherish her and love her for eternity .

"Tsuru-Ren..", she said gently. " Back at the stall, when Sho kissed you, do you know how I felt?"

"Relieved?", Ren guessed with a small smile. "And maybe.. grateful?"

"Not just that Tsuru-, I mean Ren.", she replied seriously. "There was another emotion dominating me at that time. An emotion so foreign to me , I've only realized it now."

" What do you mean?", he asked ,his heart beating a little faster.

Kyoko took a deep breath and finally answered," Jealousy."

Ren blinked, confused. "Jealousy?", he asked incredulously. "Jealous of whom? Of Fuwa?"

Kyoko nodded. "I'm being really unreasonable aren't I?, she asked rhetorically. "Jealous that Sho stole your lips first...angry that the man I hate stole away the one I -" , she stopped , looking away quickly.

"The one you?",Ren prodded her impatiently, his heart beating a tatoo against his chest.

She looked at him, her eyes brimming with so much love and adoration, that he knew her answer before she finally replied," the one I love."

They looked at each other blankly for a few seconds before Kyoko suddenly let out a laugh. "I love you too Ren!", she said smiling radiantly. "Maybe I didn't love you as long as you loved me, but now I love you just as much as you do, if not more! I want to share everything with you! My heart, my live, my kiss, my life, my everything!"

Kyoko felt her heart lighten considerably as the words freely flowed out of her mouth. A massive burden of her wounded past was shed, as she tried to express just how much she loved Ren. She felt reborn, with a purpose, to live, love and let go off the past. She felt a building pressure of love and hopeless longing for her savior and flung her arms around him as she pulled him in for a kiss.

Ren wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back with a passion and fierceness that Kyoko had never known could be expressed in a kiss. His tongue plunged into her mouth, licking her, tasting her and lavishing her with sensual caresses, desperately hoping that none of it was a dream... that it was all reality...

Kyoko moaned into his mouth, her hands tangled in his hair as she pushed herself higher to his height to kiss him again. Ren's hands were all over her body, gently massaging her and slipping under her bikini. She had no time to feel any shame. Her back arched towards him and Ren lost it.

He pushed her downwards, his lips now seeking new territories to kiss, tease and mark.
Ren Tsuruga disappeared completely as Kuon tasted her flesh for the first time.

Her neck…it was so sweet, soft and delicate. He nibbled and sucked at her skin, leaving kiss marks all over. He slid his tongue slowly, teasingly, smiling inwardly as she let out a moan of protest when he hovered over her breasts. He buried his head in her chest, worshipping the soft swells underneath her bikini top and loving he feel of them. He kissed them savagely a his fingers began to pull down her straps for better access to her skin.

Kyoko gasped and twisted in his arms, her nails digging into his neck. She had never experienced pleasure to this height before and she wanted more. Ren rose up to look at her once and regretted it immediately. Her pale beautiful face was now flushed a beautiful rosy red. Her lips were slightly parted and she was panting as she tried to catch her breath. But it was the look of absolute pleasure on her face that made Ren want to take her then and there.

He groaned as he fought for self control. It was her first time, damn it! He wasn't planning on going all the way with her until she was absolutely ready for him. But the look of longing on her face crumbled his scruples.

Kyoko stared up at him and felt her entire body heat up under his gaze. She felt as though she was in an inferno, and was absolutely melting under his gaze. It was then that their situation struck her.

She pushed him off, in embarrassment , ran to the fountain and jumped in.

"Kyoko!", Ren yelled, stunned by her reaction. He pulled off his shirt and jumped into the fountain himself. Kyoko's face popped out of the water as she let out a gasp for breath.

"What was that for?", Ren asked furiously,catching her shoulders tightly before she tried to dunk herself again.

"Too hot! Too hot!", Kyoko yelled. "Wha-?", Ren asked confused. Kyoko blushed like a tomato as she answer him timidly. "Your kisses, your touches, your..your emperor look!", she finished accusingly, "They made me feel hot all over! I needed to cool off!"

Ren started to laugh. He couldn't help it. The fact that the woman he loved responded so overwhelmingly to his attentions made him unbelievingly happy and triumphant that he had finally, at long last, captured her heart. He gave her a wicked smile.

"So now that you are in the water, shall we continue where we left off?", he said kissing her neck, as his arms wrapped around her waist. Kyoko let out an involuntary sigh and gasped when Ren skillfully untied the string of her bikini top. "Ren!", Kyoko gasped, trying to cover up." we're in public! S..someone might.."

"No one will see us. And I'll cover your body with mine..", he murmured, his mouth pleasuring her breasts after pulling away her hands from her chest.

Kyoko closed her eyes, trying hard not to cry out as he sucked and nibbled at her nipples. He gradually lowered down, his lips sliding down her skin till he was underwater, continuing his caresses on her lower parts.

Kyoko held his shoulders sighing and panting as she felt a tingling in her stomach and shuddered with was so lost in her bliss and happiness, that she didn't notice the shadow watching her from behind the trees...

Reino was unable to believe his eyes. The plain yet unattractive kyoko was bathing in a fountain, topless, making the most erotic sounds he had ever heard. "Pleasuring yourself?", he murmured to himself. He didn't notice her partner who was safely hidden underwater." I would be only too happy to help.."
With a wicked smile, he took off his shirt, jacket and pants. He left his boxers on. It's cold out here, he thought, shivering.

He stealthily crept towards the fountain and waded in as soundlessly as he could towards Kyoko. He put his hands on her waist making her yelp in fright.

She turned to him, her eyes immediately clouding with hate and anger. "YOU!", she spat out with venom. "Get out of here you pervert!"

But Reino was too busy looking at her uncovered chest. Her breasts were damp and heaving enticingly as though calling out to him. Kyoko flushed in anger as she followed his lustful gaze and slapped him hard before covering her chest. Reino smiled lazily at her and was about to say something to anger her more when he suddenly noticed the towering figure behind Kyoko.

Ren waded forward, pushing Kyoko behind him protectively, as he handed her back her bikini top. As Kyoko hurriedly put it on, while using Ren as a cover, Ren towered menacingly over Reino. "Still haven't given up on her?", he asked in a seemingly calm, but dangerously smooth voice. "Forgotten my warning already have you?"

Reino gulped as he felt the fears he felt when he first faced this terrifying man return in full force. Ren continued to advance, his eyes shooting daggers at the singer. "I do not like being disobeyed Mr. Stalker!", he continued in that same smooth voice. "This calls for strict measures.."

Reino suddenly felt a sharp pain between his legs as Ren kicked up his knee to hit Reino in a very delicate place. Reino buckled up in pain, wheezing and felt a wooshing beneath his legs,

"I would prefer to kill you," Ren said in a voice thick with rage," but that would be too easy."

He took Kyoko's hand and quickly got off the fountain holding Reino's boxers as far away from him as he could.

"Try and get out of the fountain if you have the guts!", he warned Reino in a cold voice, "And just remember this incident if you try messing with my girlfriend from now on.."

Ren gathered the rest of Reino's clothes and making a mental note to throw them in a trash can far away. Reino watched them walk away sullenly as he remembered that he had left his cell phone in his pocket. He was alone..in a fountain..completely naked, with no means of contacting his friends..

Kyoko's eyes were round with amazement. "You are full of surprises today Ren!", she said curiously. "You kiss Sho…undress that Beagle..You're like a completely different person."

Her words took him by surprise. Ren began to debate within himself whether or not to tell her everything about his past to her immediately.

"Wait for me by my car.", Ren told Kyoko. "I'll go back and make sure the stall formalities are completed."

Kyoko nodded and waited by Ren's car. He came back ten minutes later with a dry jacket.

"You must be freezing.", He said handing it over to her."Lucky I brought this along. I wanted something to hide this horrible colour. I'm sorry I let you stay in the fountain so long. I just got a little..carried away." He blushed a little, making Kyoko laugh.

Kyoko wore the jacket, snuggling into its warmth and his familiar scent." You know, I thought this was going to be a completely horrible day?", she said as they drove. "But it's turned out to be just like a fairy tale!"

Ren chuckled and braced himself to tell her everything finally. "You want to hear a fairy tale?", he asked her with a smile. She nodded eagerly.

"It all started years ago, by a river in a forest in Kyoto. A young girl in pigtails met a fairy whom she called Corn..."
