Reina adjusted her purse and sighed as she walked down the busy streets of Tokyo. Kyo had her so confused! One minute they were just friends, then the next he's kissing her! Reina sighed again as she walked into the book store, heading straight for their cafe bar. She ordered her drink then flopped into her chair, sighing again.

"That was a big sigh."

Reina quickly turned towards the familiar voice. "Shin, what're you doing here?" she asked startled.

"I came to pick up some books I ordered. What are you doing here?" He smiled at her.

"Just ordering a cup of coffee and browsing for new books to read, I guess," she answered.

"Ah I see. Cool."

"Join me, please," she said, motioning for him to sit in the empty seat across from her.

"Thanks," Shin smiled as he sat down.

Reina got up and ordered another drink for Shin before sitting back down. They made idle chit chat while they waited for their coffees.

"So, that sigh have anything to do with your fiancee?" Shin's gaze zoomed in on her huge ring.

"What? How'd you know?" she asked, surprised, absently fidgeting with her ring.

"Oh, you know. Word gets around Eitoku pretty fast. Lots of gossipers."

"Oh… yeah, that's true," she said, with a small smile.

They paused their conversation as the waitress brought their coffees.

"It's funny," Shin said after the waitress left.

"What is?"

"I didn't think you'd go for that type of guy."

"Meaning I'm not someone who can get with him?" she gave him a melancholy smile.

"No, I didn't mean it like that," Shin said quickly. "I meant that he doesn't seem like the type you'd actually want to date or be engaged to."

"Oh, really? What do you think my type is?" She laughed.

"Oh, I don't know. The quiet shy type, I guess. Someone who isn't in the spotlight all the time. A low key type of person." Shin shrugged, sipping his coffee. 'Like me.'

"I suppose, but you know, like they say, opposites attract," she shrugged, looking down at her coffee as she stirred it.

"Yeah, you can say that's true." He stared at her for a moment before adverting his eyes.

After they finished their coffee, Shin tagged along with Reina while she shopped for her books. Reina and Shin purchased their books before heading out.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Shin asked suddenly.

"Um, well… I'm not sure yet."

"You wanna go out to eat somewhere with me? I know this great noodle house not too far from here."

"Oh, well…"

"Please? I hate to eat alone."

Reina looked at him, knowing exactly how he felt. "Sure," she smiled.

"Cool," he smiled back as they walked towards the noodle shop.

"Oh, Reina... you are quite the little slut, aren't you?" The stalker's camera whirled and clicked as it captured Reina and Shin walking out of the store. "Too bad I couldn't see his reaction to the first set of photos I sent him. Let's give him a preview of what's to come, shall we?" The stalker took out a cell phone and snapped a photo before sending it to Kyo's cell.
Kyo flopped over as he heard a knock on his bedroom door. "Come in."

"Good afternoon, sir. I'm sorry to intrude, but this was just dropped off for you." The elderly maid handed him a large yellow envelope.

"Who's it from?" He asked, looking for a name or marking on the envelope.

"I don't know, sir. It was propped up on the gate when I came."

"Hm. Alright, thanks."

The maid bowed before leaving, gently closing the door with a soft click. Kyo looked over the envelope once again before breaking open the seal. The contents within made him still. There were photos of Reina and Shin together. Each picture different from each other, but the subjects the same. The incriminating photos were meant to show Kyo how unfaithful Reina was. As he got towards the middle of the photos, a note slipped out. Kyo picked it up, unfolding the note.

Now you know what kind of person your fiancee is. She's playing you for a fool. You're not a fool, are you?

Kyo crushed the note in his hand. 'This isn't true. She wouldn't... would she? No, I know... no, actually I don't know.' He glanced down at the photos again, looking at the one where Reina was holding Shin's hand in class with a smile on her face. He let out a growl before sweeping the pictures off his bed in one motion. Kyo got up and paced his room. 'No, this is fake. Someone's trying to hurt us. I mean, come on, she wouldn't... she couldn't... not Reina.' Kyo ran his fingers through his hair, agitated. He glanced over to his phone when he heard the message tone. He walked over to his nightstand and picked up the phone, flipping it open. A picture of Shin and Reina smiling at each other popped up along with a brief message.

Sweet isn't it? They look like the perfect couple.

Kyo flipped the phone shut, crushing it in his fist. He lifted his arm up in anger to throw the phone against the wall, but was stopped by the ringing of his cell. Akito's name flashed across the screen. Kyo closed his eyes and breathed in deeply before answering the phone.

"What?"

"Kyo?! Hey! Are we still on for tonight? I got a group of hot girls coming to the club."

"Look, Kito, this really isn't a good time."

"What?! Oh, come on! Reina got you on lock down, huh?"

Kyo felt his blood boil, hearing that. "Hell no. Shit. I do whatever I want, whenever I want."

"Cool... so you're coming, right?"

Kyo stared at the closest picture on the ground before answering. "Yeah, count me in."

"Kito, you're so funny!" one of the girls laughed.

"Tell us more!"

"Okay, okay… you ladies sure are cute," Akito said as he playfully tapped the girl next to him on the nose. The girl blushed and giggled some more.

Kyo got up and walked over to window overlooking the club, disgusted with Akito and the giggling group of girls he found in the club. He gripped the bar rail as he looked into the wave of bodies dancing on the floor below. He let out a frustrated sigh and leaned his forehead against the cool window pane. 'Damn her! I can't even enjoy anything without thinking about her.'

Kyo smelt perfume before he felt a hand slide up his back.

"What are you doing over here all alone, baby?" the short haired girl purred into his ear.

Kyo looked at the girl. She was cute. She had a pixie hair cut highlighted with platinum blonde streaks, a cute little face with large brown eyes that looked adoringly at Kyo. He gave her a drunken smile before replying. "I'm thinking."

"Of?" she asked.

"A girl."

"Hm? By any chance is the girl you're thinking of me?" she giggled playfully as she brushed her breasts against him.

Kyo looked down at her body noticing she wasn't wearing much. Her tight mini skirt rode up almost baring her butt cheeks and her tight low cut halter top barely covered her large breasts as she brushed them against him again. He smiled at her and tilted her chin with his knuckle. "No."

The girl's cheeks reddened with anger and embarrassment as she sniffed and turned away from him going back to the group of girls.

"Harsh," Seijun said as he walked up to Kyo.

"What? I was just telling her the truth," he said in a bored tone, looking out into the sea of dancers again.

"Still. You could be a little nicer."

"If you want to be nice to them, you go ahead. I don't care," he said, shrugging.

"Geez, Kyo. I was just saying. What's the matter with you?"

He shook his head. "Nothing."

"It's Reina, huh?"

"I said it's-"

"You don't have to lie to me, Kyo. It's me… you're best friend since like, forever. I know you as well as you know yourself."

Kyo sighed. He knew Seijun was right. He could never hide anything from him. "I got some photos the today, from who, I don't know, but the pictures were of Reina and Takeda."

"Reina and Takeda?"

Kyo nodded. "Yeah."

"What were they doing? Wait... don't tell me it's some sort of R rated pictures."

Kyo gave Seijun a murderous look. "Hell, no! You think I'd be here if that was the case?!"

Seijun held up his hand. "Hey, I was just saying. So what were they doing in the pictures?"

Kyo turned away from him. "Just... I don't know... laughing and hanging out together."

"That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it?" Kyo huffed. "Some of them showed him touching her, or putting his arm around her, or even holding hands!"

"Wow... Reina is totally getting it on with Shin," Seijun said sarcastically. He backed up when he saw Kyo glare. "Kidding! I'm kidding! Come on, get real. So what? It doesn't mean she's cheating. Not only that, technically you two aren't really engaged."

"I know it's all pretend, but I get so pissed off when that shit head talks to her. She's not supposed to act like that. How are we going to fool anyone if she's always around him? Shouldn't she be with me? You know, since she's my fiancee."

"You're jealous."

"What?! Me? Jealous. Funny one, Jun," Kyo denied trying to laugh it off. "I just don't want to blow our cover."

Seijun just raised an eyebrow at Kyo.

"W-what?" he said, blushing. "So I am a little jealous. I mean, she's supposed to be my fiancee."

Jun shrugged. "Like you said, it's only pretend."

"Yeah, but still!" he exclaimed, pissed at having his own words thrown back at him.

"If you like her, just say so."

Kyo looked away. "Whatever man, I'm outta here." He grabbed his jacket before walking out the door. Seijun grabbed his arm, stopping him.

"What are you going to do about it?" Seijun asked.

"I don't know. Find out who's taking the photos and kick their ass."

"I meant about Reina and Shin."

Kyo frowned. "There is no Reina and Shin," he growled fiercely.

Seijun tried to hide his amusement. It was fun to see Kyo in the dark about a girl. He decided to add fuel to the fire. "Are you sure about that? I mean, if you say those pictures were that incriminating, then maybe they are. Who knows."

Kyo's eyes pointed daggers at Seijun. "Who's side are you on anyways. I thought you just said that she wasn't cheating."

Seijun put up his hand. "Hey, I'm just saying. You're the one engaged to her, not me. Are you just gonna let him steal your fiancee away?"

Kyo frowned at Seijun. "Thanks for nothing. Now I really don't know what to think."

Seijun smiled and patted his friend's back. "Well, life's complicated. Try figuring it out on your own, but I'll be here if you need me."

Kyo flipped him off before walking towards the door.

"Hey Kyo! Where you going?" Akito called out after him.

"Later," Kyo said before closing the door behind him.

"What happened? What'd you say to him Jun?"

"Nothing that he doesn't know."

"What?"

Seijun sighed. "Nothing, Kito. Nothing."

"YUM! That was awesome Shin! Thanks so much for taking me here for dinner."

"Yeah, no problem. It was nice eating with someone for a change," Shin said smiling at her.

They walked up the alley way towards the busy streets. "So… you gotta be home early?"

"Um, no. Why?"

"Well if you're not busy you wanna go see a movie?

"Oh, um…," Reina looked up at him. 'What do I say? I don't want him to think that this is a date! What am I thinking? Maybe he just invited me, because he doesn't have anyone else to go with!'

"Just as friends, of course," he said, clearly knowing what was on her mind.

'See! You're such an idiot, Reina Hanazawa,' she thought to herself, cheeks turning pink.

"Oh, well, of course," she said sheepishly. "Um… I guess I can."

"Alright. Then let's go," he said, making way towards the theaters.

Reina trailed a step behind him. He was a really nice guy. 'I wonder why he's alone? Where are his parents? He seems so confident, yet I can see a sadness lurking in his eyes.' She stopped and frowned.

"Hey, little girl, I'll give you five hundred dollars if you go with me," said the old man in a wrinkled gray suit coming out from the alley way. He put a hand on Reina's shoulder and tried to bring her close to him.

She could smell the vulgar stench of alcohol on his breath. Reina turned her head away and shoved his arm off of her. "Uh, no thanks."

"Come on. If you're a virgin I'll give you a thousand," he said grabbing her wrist.

"NO!" Reina cried out as she was pulled forward.

"Come o- Oww," the man howled in pain as Shin's hand squeezed his wrist. He immediately let go of Reina.

"The lady said no," he growled, tightening his grip bringing the man down on his knees. The man cried out in pain. "Now apologize to her."

"Ah! I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-sorry," he managed to get out.

Shin loosened his grip and kicked the man back. "Now get the hell out of here."

The man scurried off holding his hand to his chest.

"You okay?" Shin asked Reina.

"Y-Yeah," Reina replied, still shaken up. The memories of the previous incident came rushing back to her when he grabbed her.

Shin noticing her shivering took off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders.

"Let's get you home," Shin said wrapping one arm around her. They walked in silence, side by side, Shin never taking his arm away from her. When they got to her front door he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.

"I'm sorry."

Reina looked up at him. "For what?"

"I couldn't stop that scum from touching you."

Reina shook her head. "It's not your fault. He just came out of nowhere."

"I know, but still I-"

"Get your hands off of her."

Reina gasped in surprise and broke away from Shin. Shin grabbed her back and pulled her next to him.

"Kyo…"

Okay so how was it?
