Hi everybody!! ^-^ Okay so I can totally explain why I took so long. You see what had happened was that I was on writers block and I just couldn't approve of anything I wrote. So this is what I approved of.

^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Reino stood frozen with wide eyes as Kyoko leaned away to see his face. She smiled a little at the surprise on his face. "Does that answer your question?" she asked cheerily. Reino shook his head at the sound of her voice. "Uh…yeah." was all that he could say.

"Oh yeah. I wanted to ask you something. Why did you want me to hold a grudge against you so much?" she asked him. Reino smiled sheepishly. He had asked himself that same question last night. "Well what I am about to say will probably make you upset so just in advance, I'm sorry." he said backing up a step just in case. Kyoko just stared at him weirdly and said, "Just spit it out." Reino sighed and looked at the ground. "You know how you held a serious grudge against Fuwa?" he started. Kyoko nodded. "Well I noticed how much your mind revolves around him even if it's because you hated him. In multiple occasions you would find something that upsets you and your mind often leads to Fuwa and you get mad. I guess that when I first saw your demons I was instantly attracted to you and I was desperate for you to think about me. Even if it was because you hated me I would be, at least, happy that you were still thinking about me the most. And I'm sure that Fuwa is aware of that. He is in love with you but he knows that you still hate him so he continues to make you hate him even more so you only think about him. And that was the whole reason I did all that. At first I just wanted you to hold a grudge against me but later it grew to wanting you. And then-"

"What?!" Kyoko shrieked after getting over most of the shock. "What?" Reino asked confused at her outburst. 'What did I say?' he thought. And then it dawned on to him. He just blurted out that Sho Fuwa was in love with Kyoko Mogami. "Oh. What I meant to say was that-"

"Shut up! What the heck made you think that he was in love with me?!" she shouted, pissed. Reino stepped back a few more steps and explained. "You never experienced being loved before right? The closest thing to love that you ever felt was when you spent time with your childhood friend Corn. You don't now how people act when they are in love. They worry about the person. Constantly thinks about them. They want to protect them. They are kind to them. Help them. Listen to them. Want to be with them. Get jealous over even the smallest things. And want to make them happy. Fuwa worries about you. Protected you. Acted kinder to you. He's jealous about how you are around Tsuruga Ren. He wants to be with you. He cares about you. He wrote the song Asatte for you. Hell. He even tried to confess to you but Ren came in the way. You just aren't aware of that because your mother and Fuwa made you think that you weren't worthy of love." He stopped and looked at Kyoko. She was looking down so Reino couldn't see that she started crying. He reached out to her cheek and felt a teardrop fall on his hand before he could touch her. His eyes widened and he cupped her face and brought her head up so that he could see her correctly. He leaned down so that they were face to face and Kyoko closed her eyes so that she didn't have to see him worry. Reino hugged her and let her cry on his chest. She clutched his shirt and they both stayed like that for several minutes until she finally stopped.

"Are you okay?" Reino asked still holding her. She nodded and softly replied, "Yeah." Reino loosened his grip a little so that he could get a good look at her. Her eyes slightly red but there were no more tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blurt it out like that. But you really should know that Sho is in love with you. Why else would he have been nicer to you?" She looked down and said, "I thought about that. I kept on telling myself that he wanted to may me pay him back. And I told him that when I met him again in Karuizawa that I don't owe him anything just because he saved me. He agreed with me and said that we were even. But it never occurred to me that he would even like me like that."

"As much as I dislike the man I really can't blame him. You are a very unique person. In good and bad ways." he said smiling. "What are the bad ways?" Kyoko asked hiding her raging curiosity with a teasing smile. She wanted to know her flaws being the perfectionist that she is.

"Well…" he started cautiously, studying her face for any trace of anger. As attracted he is to her dark side it still didn't fail to frighten even him. "You do tend to apologize way more than necessary." Kyoko was about to protest but then smiled wryly. She remembered the way people reacted whenever she apologized. "Okay, I'll work on that. So keep going." she said. "You think of love as some sort of curse. Though now I think that you have a more positive image of it." he said in a low voice and leaned a little closer to her. Kyoko leaned closer as well. Reino thought that she was going to kiss him again but instead she whispered in his ear, "Yup. Something like that." He shivered and Kyoko leaned away satisfied that she had some sort of effect on him. Reino narrowed his eyes a little and continued. "You have a tendency to go overboard when dealing with fairies or princesses. It's okay to like them but maybe you could tone it down just a little." Reino smirked when he saw her pout. She looked so adorable to him. "Anything else?" she asked, irked. He thought about that and said, "No. That's about it."

"Good. Because I have my own list. And it's longer than yours." She smirked. Reino at first looked insulted. It reminded him of the first time he was ever called a fool. Which of course was by Kyoko but then his expression was of curiosity and amusement. "Okay then. Shoot." he conceded.

Kyoko got out of his arms and they both got up only to stand about three feet from each other. Kyoko held up a finger and said, "One. You had a tendency to want me to hate you." She held up another finger. "Two. You wear too much black. You seem to look best in dark colors so I guess you could start wearing things that are dark blue, purple, maybe even red. Three. Your nails. That little point that you do with them. They hurt and they are just plain annoying. Four. You need to stop copying Sho. Five. Don't paralyze me anymore. You did that in Karuizawa and ended up with a scratch on your face. Six. This one is actually more of a suggestion. And it's huge. I think that you should stop with your singing career."

________________________________________________________________________

I hear an angry mob. Alright. You might say that the ending was disappointing with Kyoko's suggestion and with the flaws that Kyoko named because I know that a lot of you like Reino they way he is. Like my friend the nameless soul who I think will kill me because I am making Reino out of character. But I am planning to keep at least some of his demonic demeanor so you girls could stop cursing me for changing Reino. Also Reino might not stop singing. Heh. ^-^

P.S.

Those of you who read the author's note that told the whole plot of the story should probably know that I'm going to change a lot of the stuff. And those who were offended, I would like to apologize because whenever I'm pissed I tend to say mean things and whatever I write or do also tends to be unpleasant. So all I want to say is I am sorry.
