Yeah. The only thing different is the ending. I took out a part so the fic is still in chronological oder.

..:~: Reino POV :~:..

Kyoko was talking to Sho again. "Yeah. I'm free today. Where do you want to see me?" she asked. Whatever he said obviously shocked her because her eyes widened. "What? Here? Have you lost your mind? There are some people here that would murder you if they saw you here." She glanced at me. Well it's kind of true. The only reason he's not dead is because I have morals… and because Kyoko might hurt me.

"Okay. Fine. I'll see you on the roof. Just make sure no one sees you, okay?" she asked. Now how on earth did he convince her? Kyoko shut off her phone and I asked her, "How did he convince you to see him on the roof? Did he ask you to push him off of it?" Just because Kyoko might kill me if I kill Sho doesn't mean I'll do the same. Hell I'd encourage her. It bothers me that he's in love with her and she is going to see him like he isn't. What if he makes a move and she realizes that she likes him more?

Kyoko stared at me until she said, "Oh. So that's how it is." What? "Reino. Are you scared that I might get feelings for Sho if I meet him?"

… What should I say to that? Wait. "How'd you know?" I asked her. She shrugged and said, "I can pick up negative emotions from people. You were feeling jealous and my ability picked that up so I assumed you were a little insecure because of my past with Sho."

I smiled. "You're amazing you know that?"

She smiled. "Don't worry about Sho and I. I never even loved him. Not in love with him anyway. It was just an infatuation and now that he's in love with me I don't think that he and I can be a couple. Not anymore." Kyoko looked deeply into my eyes as she said that last part. I grinned.

"Okay. What time is it now?" Kanae asked.

I glanced at my watch. "It's about 2:45. Kyoko has 45 minutes before she needs to see Sho. I think I want to talk to him as well though." Kyoko's eyes widened.

"What? Why?" she exclaimed. The others looked in our direction. Crap.

"Shh. Don't worry. I just want to apologize for everything I did to him. And I wanted to give him something." I explained. Only the guys and I know what it is. Kyoko will know eventually. She looked at me suspiciously.

"I said don't worry. Don't you trust me?" I asked her. She thought about that. I gaped. She's thinking about it? The girls saw my expression and they all giggled. Then I pouted and Kyoko laughed saying, "You are so cute! Fine. You can talk to him. Just not until we are done, okay?" I nodded and someone from behind us asked, "Just why exactly is he cute?" We all turned to see Ren standing there with a calm face but a pissed off aura.

"You should have seen his face. He pouted like a little 8 year old." Kyoko said pinching my cheek.

"Not didn't." I grumbled. Wow. I really was acting like an 8 year old.

Mizue laughed and said, "Yes you did. You have two pouts. One for when you are moping and another for when you don't get what you want. He also does the puppy dog eyes with it!" Everyone laughed then. Even Ren and Yashiro.

"I'd love to see that!" Kyoko said. Then Mizue grinned. No. She wouldn't.

"I have pictures in my bag for times like these." She just did. Damn.

I looked around for her bag and saw it by the door. I started to run for it but then Shizuru and Miroku grabbed me from behind, laughing.

"Ugh! You guys! This is not cool!" I shouted while Mizue got the pictures. She waved then in front of my face tauntingly and walked over to everyone else.

"Mizue. Remember that we live in the same house." I said threateningly.

"I'm so scared." she shivered sarcastically. "Aw, how cute!" Kyoko said grinning. I groaned and they let me go since it was too late. Kyoko laughed and walked up to me.

"Don't be ashamed! You used to be so cute!" she said pinching my cheek. I grimaced but then I cocked my eyebrow. "Used to be?" She grinned and pecked my cheek. I blushed furiously at her very public display of affection and the guys snickered while Mr. Yashiro seemed to have had a stroke. Kyoko patted my head and said, "You still are."

"Aww. He's blushing." Kanae cooed. I rolled my eyes and sunk into the couch. Then I saw Mizue wince in the corner of my eye. I looked at her quizzically. She just shook her head and mouthed, "Later."

"Uuumm…this is all really weird for me." Mr. Yashiro said after a minute of silence.

I snorted. "Tell me about it. Here sit's the bastard psycho stalker you guys expected to see but there is only a twisted up 17 year old in his place. And where Kyoko stands would have been the extremely oblivious and naïve but adorable girl but she was replaced by an amazing, exquisite, and definitely not naïve young lady." I said gazing at Kyoko. She just smiled and looked down to hide her blush.

Mizue looked between Ren, Kyoko, and I apprehensively and said, "I think we should all get to our jobs right now. Reino, I need to talk to you."

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked.

"We may have a problem. You know…that thing." she said. What is she talking about? She saw I didn't get it so she sighed and said, "Last August." Huh? What happened last…Oh!

"Oh. That." I said dumbly.

"Yes. That. Now can we please talk?" she said a tiny bit embarrassed.

"Uh…sure. Could you guys excuse us for a minute?" I asked everyone. Miroku, Shizuru, Kiyora, and Dasuku nodded, realizing what Mizue meant. The others just agreed.

"I'll see you guys later." Kyoko said. I gave Kyoko a smile, which she returned, and then she left with everyone else.

..:~: Miroku POV (I've never done this before! Let's see how it goes.) :~:..

Everyone was outside of the meeting room. The four of us knew what she meant by last August. It's really not good. Kind of weird too. And a bit uncomfortable.

I saw Kanae looking at the closed door. Probably wondering if she should listen or not.

"I wouldn't eavesdrop if I were you." I told her. She looked at me and asked, "Why not?"

"Just don't." Shizuru said gravely. He was in the middle of it last time so he knows how bad it is. Kanae was confused but she agreed to leave it. I looked at Shizuru and he was worried. Kiyora and Dasuku were too.

"When Mizue said last August, did she mean the unusual meltdown she had?" Mr. Yashiro asked. Everyone's eyes landed on him when he said that.

"How do you know about that?" I asked. No one knew except for us and the few people that were there.

"I was passing by at the time, waiting for Ren to finish his meeting. Mizue was crying a lot. She actually looked a little scared. I think Shizuru was there too." Mr. Yashiro said nervously, wondering if he should be talking about it. Ren seem curious while Kyoko and Kanae was worried. Mizue is such a strong and happy person. It's hard to imagine her crying.

"We really shouldn't tell you. They should. Let me tell you that Mizue and Reino have gone through a lot of things. Some pretty scary things. Just don't judge them when they tell you." I said looking at Tsuruga.

"Yeah. Mizue actually went through more considering what she did to-"

"Kiyora!" Dasuku, Shizuru, and I shouted. He was surprised but then looked ashamed when he realized what he was about to say.

"Miroku. Mizue will be okay, right?" Kyoko asked. I smiled sadly at her.

"We hope so. But truth be told, I kind of doubt it."

..:~: Mizue POV :~:..

I just told Reino about what has been going on today and he was really worried.

"I don't think you should go to work for the next few days." he declared. I sighed.

"Reino. I can't do that. It's just a big if. It might not happen." I said trying to convince myself more.

"But it still might happen. Seven months, Mizue. hat's the longest you've ever gone between your episodes. What if you actually hurt someone this time?" he asked earnestly.

"I know, Reino. If I feel it coming then I'll go home. Don't worry about me." I said ruffling his hair a little.

"Just promise me you'll look after yourself." he said hold up his pinkie. I grinned and laced my pinkie with his. Pinkie swear is something we've done ever since we were kids.

"I promise."
