It was sweet torture as Natsu deepened the kiss, scooting closer to him and locking his lips to her more than he had originally intended. Not that he really minded in all actuality. Stop. You need to stop this. Now. If Kyoko remembers what is happening after she wakes up, it's night-night for you and she will be gone forever. He stifles a groan and uses all of his willpower to draw back from the most delectable and hypnotic lips on the face of the planet. Natsu sighs audibly as if disappointed and wants it to be known as such. Her breath dances along Ren's jaw and it takes all of Ren's fight not to follow and continue on. "Man, you have sure got a mouth on you. Why do you have to be so damn uptight though? We need to fix it." Her hands roam up to his shoulders. "Let's just get this off, huh?" Her hands move outward on his shoulders, taking the suit jacket off of him and letting it fall down his arms. Dear god, woman. If Kyoko acted like you did, then my control would shatter sooner. Or I wouldn't be able to pull it together in the first place.

"Natsu..." His voice surprises him with how steady and firm it is as he leans away from the temptress in front of him, taking his hands from the sleeves. She tosses the jacket aside onto the floor, finding pleasure in watching him squirm.

His voice doesn't sway her when she looks him in the eyes. "Oh, I know Ren. I will tell you, but you are too...uptight. I don't talk to stiff guys in suits if I can help it: only those who can let loose. You're already most of the way, thanks to yours truly" she purrs. When did she untuck my shirt? Why didn't I feel her do it? "All that's left is the sleeves I suppose." She unbuttons the cuffs and moves to roll them up when he takes back his arms, rolling the sleeves himself. Let her do it and I'll probably end up shirtless under those fingers.

Backing up a foot onto the bed away from her, he lets out another breath, relaxing when out of the aura of the Natsu. "Okay. I'm loose, I paid your price, so talk."

"You are no fun Ren," she pouts as he fights himself again. "But fine. I'll start from the beginning then."

"The 'beginning'?"

"You don't think this justifies a beginning?"

"...How far back do you need to go?"

"I have the story from back when that leech broke her heart."

"Wait. Nothing more?" How does this even work?

"Well, that's when the grudges came out of the box and our story began. I didn't come along until later, but I'm well up to date on the information."

"What box?"

"That's not important...well, it is, but not until later. And for different reasons. First off, the grudges. I know you are familiar about the thing with the leech and that is why she chose LME and all. The grudges were responsible for getting Sawara-san to let her into the audition, and you already didn't like her then because of her initial motive, right? Revenge put her at LME."

"Well I already knew that part aout revenge, but what's a grudge?"

"You're going to know a lot of what I tell you, so just go with it. It may even get boring, but I don't know the extent of what you know, so I'll just lay it out there. Now, grudges are basically spirits. You could call then Kyoko's personal little lapdog demons that are invisible to the untrained eye that resemble her and do her bidding. Your pal Reino from that band against the leech named Vie Ghoul can catch you up on that point."

"My friend?"

"The 'denizen of Hell' back in Kariuzawa. I believe Kyoko called him 'Beagle' when she didn't hear the name right and it has stuck that way ever since. Poor man. Anyway, revenge got her to LME, but revenge didn't put her in the acting section."

"But I thought-"

"Well stop thinking Ren. Don't go against me now, okay? I'm taking the time to enlighten you, so listen good, you buffoon: I'm telling you it like it is. You, Ren, are the one who got the lovely Mogami Kyoko into acting.

Me?
