Ren yanked his head away from Kyoko's as soon as he came to his senses. Their arms became undone as the brunette stared awkwardly around the room. Seeing the broken glass, he started with, "Ah, Kyoko-chan, do you have a dustpan and brush?"

He walked to the kitchen looking for it as Kyoko refused his help with, "I-it's nothing, I can do it myself; you probably have a busy schedule Tsuruga-san - and you have scripts to learn!"

"No, I'm done for today," he answered, nonchalantly, as he grabbed the dustpan; "Aha!"

As he proceeded to sweep up the glass, his orange haired companion stood silently, touching her lips.

'Did that really just happen? Did I just kiss Tsuruga-San?'

'What the hell was I thinking?' Ren thought to himself. 'Tsuruga Ren, you are crazy, kissing a girl like Kyoko like that!'

'Oh~ he must think I'm a horrible kisser.. This makes things so awkward!'

'Then again, she does have rather nice lips.'

Sweeping up all remnants of glass, Ren stood, throwing them into the dustbin across him. "Are you ok Kyoko-chan? He didn't hurt you did he?" he asked, turning around as Kyoko looked up from her thoughts.

"Ah, no Tsuruga-san, I'm fi-" She was cut short when Ren took hold of her wrist.

"He took hold of you pretty tight, are you sure it won't bruise?" Ren examined the pale, delicate flesh between his long fingers.

Kyoko pulled back exclaiming, "No! It's fine, I'll be fine, you don't need to worry, really."

The tall brunette stared at her blankly. "You never let people worry over you, do you?" Glancing at the clock above her head, he began walking towards the door, a small smile crawling up to his face; "Well Kyoko-chan, I'd best be going. Lock your windows and take care of yourself."

Kyoko's eyes followed him.

"Busy life, shows to film, scripts to learn. Bye!" Flashing a smile, he turned to close the door.

"I though you said-"

SLAM.

"...You were free?"
