Chapter Two: I'll Wipe Away Your Tears

Kuon felt his heart skip a beat when he took in Kyoko's expression. 'How cute.' He wondered what was wrong with his health because whenever he was with her, his body would either heat up, or his heart beats would speed up or just stop.

'Maybe I have a fever..' He touched his cheeks for a second. Soon he realized a chubby face staring at him and he felt his face burn up under his palm.

"Are you okay?" the girl asked.

"Ah, sorry Kyoko-san, it's nothing." He gave her a reassuring smile.

"Alright then." Kyoko went back to her original position.

The two were now sitting upon rocks soaking their feet in the shallow stream, listening to the birds chirp and trees rustle, while sharing their feelings.

Kyoko's voice cracked as she told 'Corn' why she had cried. "M- my m- m- mother..." Kyoko told herself not to cry in front of anyone after they had just met but her tears had deceived her. A flood of tears rolled down her cheek. "My mother h- had left me. I wasn't perfect enough and she didn't want me anymore. I couldn't even get a 100% on my spelling test." Kyoko's voice dropped as she finished her last sentence. She tried to cover her loud sobs by digging her face into her hands.

Kuon felt his chest ache with pain as he watched her cry. Kuon didn't really have much experience with girls but wanted to comfort Kyoko very much. Kuon was the son of a very great actor, so he had seen many movies. Kuon thought back and replayed some scenes in his mind. 'Ah!' He knew what to do, but he didn't know how Kyoko would react. He decided to test it because he wanted to stop her tears by all means anything he could think of.

Kuon reached his hand across a short distance to Kyoko's cheek. He placed his opposite hand onto her other cheek. He was glazing at her with gentle eyes. He moved his thumbs across her baby smooth skin to wipe away her tears. Kuon dropped his hands from her face and picked little Kyoko up. Kyoko was placed onto his lap and was soon embraced in his warmth. "Kyaa!" Kuon caressed her as though she would break if she was hugged too tightly.

Kyoko wondered what Corn was doing. Then she heard him say with affection, "It's okay. You're not alone."

Kyoko was shocked. No one had ever said that to her before. Never. Why was he able to see the pain in her heart? 'I'm not alone? I'm not alone? I'm not alone... Yes, I'm not alone. At least not now...' Kyoko repeated the phrase in her mind until she started to cry again. She was glad that Corn was there. Wait... What about Shou? 'Shou-chan is my prince. Why can't I feel like this when I'm with him? Corn-chan was so easy to get along with... Maybe Shou-chan just needs more time. Maybe Corn-chan is using his fairy powers on me. Corn-chan's so kind.'

Kuon was rubbing Kyoko's back with his large-ish hands to soothe her. When Kyoko began crying again, Kuon wondered 'Why is she crying? Did hugging her work? Am I holding her too tightly? Does she not like it?' He was about to release her until Kyoko murmured into his chest, "Thank you."

Kuon felt his heart stop. Slowly, a heavenly smile grew across his face. He had relieved her from sadness... for now.
