'You're everything I've ever dreamed of. I was wrong all these years as I pushed you away and didn't let you in. I know we had a few arguments and tiffs, but we can pull through... Right? You can forgive me, can't you? You are beautiful. You are talented. You have this amazing quality and I don't know how to describe it. All I can ask is...

Will you marry me?'

She dropped the letter in shock. How dare he?! After everything she did for him and how he treated her in return! How could he even think such a thing?!

She fell to the floor in a fetal position. 'How dare he?' She asked herself again.


Ren was in a good mood; work went brilliantly, there was none of the usual five o'clock traffic and he was now in front of Kyoko's apartment. He knocked thrice.

'I wonder what she's doing in there...' After waiting for a whole three minutes, he tried to open the door; it swung open. 'I bet she forgot to lock the door...'

He heard Kyoko's voice coming from the bedroom. It sounded like... She was crying. He was about to open the door when he heard another voice, "C'mon, I know you want me. All you have to do is say yes..." Why did that voice sound so familiar?

"No! Stay away from me!" She screamed back as something, something glass, smashed. Ren, wanting no harm to come to Kyoko, slammed the door open. The sight that hit him was astonishing; there Kyoko sat against her bed with a tear-streaked face, with Shō Fuwa standing before her, a menacing smirk plastered onto his face. A broken glass lay on the wooden floor.

"Kyoko!" He called.

Shō looked up at Ren, his smirk faltering. He stepped back in astonishment as Kyoko rose up, and ran towards the brunette. He stared at the open window from where he entered before Kyoko got into her home. "You may win this time Tsuruga, but next time, Kyoko will be mine!" He proceeded to swiftly jump off the window ledge, leaving a distressed Kyoko and an enraged Ren behind him...
