Thank you for all the reviews so far. They really help with my motivation. I am sorry if the characters are OOC. It is very difficult to write their reactions to things, when nothing similar has happened to them before. If it gets painful to read, please tell me

----------------Chapter 3-------------------
Back in her room at Daruma-ya, Kyoko could still feel Yuzuki raging inside her. "How could anyone defy her so obviously like that? He would regret this. She would make him hers. Make him follow her orders." Kyoko blushed and looked at the poster on the wall. Tsuruga-san smiled down at her. One short hour ago, she had been sitting on the lap of this man, feeling his warm body and touching his chest. She had felt so small. Kyoko knew there was a big difference in their size. When leaning against his body, she understood just how enormous he was. When he had lifted her up, she had thought about how easy it would be for him to... "To do what? Sexually harass me?" Kyoko smiled and shook her head at her own stupid imagination. Tsuruga-san would not even to that to someone sexy, let alone, to her. The most boring girl in show business. "But he did kiss me...." She froze. "No! It was just on my cheek, and as a thank you! He clearly stated that he would have done it to anyone." As if Tsuruga-san would have any attraction towards a plain girl like her. He was surrounded by beautiful women all day. And then there was this high school girl. That was a good thing. Because of this, she could safely practice those scenes with him. The reason she felt a little unhappy, had to be because of Yuzuki.

Kyoko closed the door of the restaurant behind her. Ren was already waiting outside in his car. She was carrying a cooler. Probably their breakfast.
"Good morning, Mogami-san. You sure look happy today? Did something good happen?" Kyoko smiled brightly at him. Ren could not help but to smile back. How could anyone be this cute? And why is there not a lot more guys chasing after her? Well, Mio was not exactly someone to fall in love with, but she had appeared on a few TV-shows as herself for interviews.
"Yes. Starting the day after tomorrow, I am spending a whole week at Moko-san's place! I will not be able to stay here because Daruma-ya is renovating the upstairs floor."
"That sound nice." Ren felt a little jealous at her precious friend. He would love to have Kyoko living with him for a week. Or even better, she could just move in with him. He imagined how it would be to wake up every morning next to her. Hold his arms around her and burry his face in her hair. Well, he knew that it was not very likely, but it made him feel a little better. She would never be that exited to sleep over at his place though. He helped her put the cooler in the back of the car and watched her as she got in and put on her seatbelt. Maybe, someday she actually would come to live together with him. Even if it was for a stupid reason like renovating. He would be happy, but he knew it would be a very bad idea.

After eating the food Kyoko had brought with her, they moved to the living room.
"So, are you ready to start?" Ren looked at her and met a pair of eyes burning in anger. "I guess you are."
"Are you aware of your position at all, Hiroshi?"
"What do you mean, Yuzuki-sama?"
"I could have your head chopped of at any time. I do not need to give any reason, other than that I do not like you."
"Then I am very sorry to have upset you, my majesty." Hiroshi smiled, and bowed calmly. Mocking her.
"Get down on the floor!" Hiroshi understood that it would be best to follow her orders. Yuzuki calculated when his balance would be at it weakest, and kicked him in the chest. He fell backwards, supporting himself with his elbows, clearly surprised. "See. You are not that though." She laughed at his humiliation. Then her eyes got that scary, calm look from the day before. She got down between his legs, and climbed on top of him. She bent over and whispered a very clear message in his ear. "Do not dare to lift me off. I will use my power to make you regret it."
"But Yuzuki-sama. This is not fitting." Ren's heart was racing like crazy. He hoped Kyoko could not hear it. Hiroshi's body was not supposed to react like that.
Yuzuki sat up in his lap with a worried look in her face.
"Mogami-san... What is it?" Ren was partly frustrated, and partly relieved that the girl he loved had returned. He sat up. Their faces were very close, but she seemed to caught up in her thoughts to care.
"Tsuruga-san..." After what felt like ages, she looked up at him, bringing their faces even closer. "I... Think I need to kiss you." Her eyes, looking directly in to Ren's, expressed even more worry than before.
Why did he not say anything? His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes widened. She had clearly been out of line. Kyoko looked down again, her face was burning up.
"I am sorry. I did not mean to force myself on you. I just thought that since I do not have any positive experience with kissing... The rest of the scene would look bad. I d-do... I do not know what to do." She stood up. "Just forget it. I will watch a movie for inspiration or something. Again, I am very sorry." Her sudden courage was leaving her. She had thought this was the best thing to do for her job. Tsuruga-san's reaction told her she had been wrong.
"No... No!" Ren hurried back up on his feet. "I was just a little surprised. I would be glad to help you out."
"No, it is fine Tsuruga-san. Really, it is fine." Kyoko felt horrible for giving her senpai a guilty conscience. She was not hurt at all about his reaction. It was only natural for him to react like that. A boring girl like her, making such a bold and stupid request. And to Tsuruga-san of all people. Japan's most sexy man. The thought of her had to be repudiating.
Kyoko turned around and took a step towards the sofa. Ren grabbed her arm and pulled her up against him, holding her tight. Her heart raced in terror. She could not move. What was this?
"You are not going anywhere. When I turn you towards me I will give you five seconds to go after my lips. If you fail, I will kiss you myself." He turned her around, and closed his eyes. He counted in his head, 1, 2, 3, 4. Something warm hit his lips. He wanted to kiss her back, but before he could react, her lips were gone. Disappointed he opened his eyes.
"Was that it?" The emperor of the night gained control over Ren's body. Her eyes were scared, her face red and her mouth looked like it had been drawn on with a ruler.
"You failed." He brought his face closer to hers.
"No! I did kiss you." She tried to work her way out of his arms, but he was much stronger than her.
"That was not a kiss. This is." He started kissing her lips carefully. "If you want to learn, now is the right time to start practicing." He whispered softly.
She started answering his kiss very shyly, getting more confident by the second. Before they knew it their tongues were battling about dominance. Ren's stomach felt weird. Like something was moving around in there, tickling him. Had he eaten something bad? He pressed his body closer to hers. Kyoko put her arms around his neck. If Ren's heart had been racing before, he wondered what he could call this. It was beating so hard and fast that he was sure his ribs would break any second. His legs were weak, and his head felt dizzy. He could not pull away from her, but if he did not soon he felt like he might fall over. He let his left hand slide up her back and lowered his right hand down towards her jeans.
"No more please!" Kyoko shoved him away at the moment he had reached her back pocket. Ren realized how frightening he must have been to her just now. But it was so hard to keep control when she was tempting him like that. She looked flustered and a bit stressed, but not very scared.
"I... Think that is enough. Thank you." Kyoko wondered is a kiss was supposed to feel like that? Sure. It was better than with Sho, but she still had felt like she was being eaten alive. There was no way that Tsuruga-san could have been carried away or overdone it? Her heart was beating out of her chest, her lips were tired and she was out of breath. "I need a break. Thank you for your help. I am sure this will help me in my acting."
