Gomen, gomen, gomen, gomen-nasai, for being very distracted during the summer and forgetting to update it's just everything attacked me at once. I feel in love, and it's been three months now since we've been together, I lost some friends and gained some friends, and helped a friend in a serious time of need. I was diagnosed with ADHD and I had to get my shots. I hope you'll all forgive me though and read this chapter.

ChocoToT: Yes well I usually place myself in everyone's shoes. I glad you enjoy my story though I'm not really trying to be suspenseful in this one lol. I'm glad you like my story but I'm not really that awesome and I give thanks for my talent to my mom. I hope you still like this story by the time I'm done with it cause I'm working very hard for it.

otakubarbie: You're another one who has a name that slightly scares me, lolz and your power of guessing the next songs right perplexes me, perhaps you're a Kelly Clarkson fan as well?

marz bani: Don't worry you're not being rude at all. I didn't mean to get three months behind and I deserve rudeness for breaking my word. Thanks for the concern though.

AngelOfDarkness101: Sorry for the delay and yes I plan for the entire thing to be original though I know that after introducing my own diction and style into this fanfic world there will be many copycats who want to write just as good, my only wish is to read one better than my own.

hyperangel64: Nintendo 64! xD sorry you just reminded me of that, and thank you for the review.

steph300: What am I going to do with you lolz though I swear you're one of my biggest fans, yeah sorry for making you and everyone else wait and I like tatu too it's just not enough of their songs would fit and they're a group not a solo artist, so in the end it wouldn't turn out right. Biggest cookies and thanks for your million reviews!

Fate Lowe: Ah another newbie to my fanfics thank you for the wonderful review and please do not give up on me just yet.

mangaka-sensi: I thought of doing it with Ren but none of the men solo artists I could think of had lyrics that could fit his feelings for her, but I'm still searching, you can bet that!

15385bic: Well go listen to them! and thanks for the review!

Hanan: Yes I have plans for what songs I use but I'm not going to use either of those... yet Thanks for the review!

amethyst rulzz: We all have crazy evil other halfs but we must thank them for they get us through most of the day with out shooting up our schools, and this time I'd like only a pebble sized piece of caramel since I made my fans that are as awesome as you wait.

Ebony-chan: My wonderful first reviewer for my second chapter, thank you, thank you,thank you for waiting so flipping long to read the third chapter and please be nice enough to review again. Hopefully Ren's still not changing too fast but in my stories, I usually delete the stupidity the characters have in the manga, so while it's still light-hearted it doesn't take a million years for them to start warming up to each other.

"What you see's not what you get..." Kyoko sung into the Studio's microphone.

"She's got pure talent, that's for sure," The lead guitarist whispered to the drummer. The lead guitarist's name was Raiko Tsutari, he had gladly joined in the making of the rest of Kyoko's music as soon as he had heard "Breakaway." He smiled as he listened to Kyoko let go of her lyrics into the mic, his sapphire blue eyes watching her through the glass. He had dark brown hair that reached his chin and a niceness about him that made everyone like him.

"With you, there's just no measurement

No way to tell what's real from what isn't there..."

The drummer, Mei-Suu Gatoumori, nodded, her shoulder-length, layered, and highlighted, light brown curls bouncing along. She'd been called in by Lory to "keep an eye on Mogami-san." She didn't mind though, Kyoko turned out to be very modest and kind to them all. Mei-Suu smiled as her gray eyes danced across the girl. Mei-Suu was a very calm, but sometimes easily tempered woman except when on stage.

"Your eyes, they sparkled

That's all changed into lies

That drop like acid rain

You washed away the best of me

You don't care..."

"Who do you think she wrote this about?" Asked Aruto Toyosaki, the bassist, his playful honey eyes flickered about as he listened for replies. He had shaggy blonde hair, a stubby chin, and a cocky nature about him. He had also played with Raiko, twice before.

"You know you did it

I'm gone

To find someone to live for in this world

There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight

Just a bridge that I gotta burn..."

"Who knows, probably some ex-boyfriend or something," Answered Sasori Nadeshiko, the pianist. His blue eyes were much lighter than Raiko's and he didn't really seem all that interested in his job. He had long black hair pulled back in a low ponytail, was one who loved classical things, and though his actions and tones were very cold his piano playing were anything but.

"You were wrong

If you think you can walk right through my door

That is just so you

Coming back when I've finally moved on

I'm already gone..."

"Jeez! Could you have any less of emotion, Sasori." Mei-Suu snapped at him, finally speaking.

"You and me both know I could." Sasori teased her as he breathed in her ear. There was another connection they had in the band, Mei-Suu and Sasori had once been a thing.

"Go jack-off somewhere, ASSHOLE!" She yelled. Everyone around froze and only Kyoko's voice could be heard.

"Sometimes shattered, never open

Nothing matters when you're broken

That was me, whenever I was with you

Always ending, always over

Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster

I am breaking that habit today..."

"Whoa, such teeth, Mei-Suu-san!" Aruto tried to lighten the current situation. He failed.

"You know, had you ever put out I might not have had too." Sasori said with a cruel smirk.

"Just shut up, Sasori!" Mei-Suu stormed out.

"Great... Aruto, go get her." Raiko sighed.

"Dude, did you see how angry she was, I don't wanna..." Aruto was cut-off.

"Just do it!" Raiko yelled, once again, making everyone go silent.

"Fine," He walked towards the door, stepped out, and then looked back one last time, "You owe me."

"Go!"

"You know you did it

I'm gone

To find someone to live for in this world

There is no light at the end of the tunnel tonight

Just a bridge that I gotta burn..."

"Alright, Sasori, you can play silent all you want, but you're not going to keep us all fighting the entire time we're with Kyoko-sama. Some of us can't work with that, and I'm not afraid to tell Lory about this either so straighten up." Raiko spoke with a firm voice as if a teacher getting onto a student.

"Whatever."

"You were wrong

If you think you can walk right through my door

That is just so you

Coming back when I've finally moved on

I'm already gone..."

'Yeah, I know you're already gone, Mei-Mei,' Sasori thought as he listened to Kyoko sing. He didn't mean to be that cruel or cold it just sorta happened.

"There is nothing you can say

Sorry doesn't cut it, babe

Take the hint and walk away

Cause I'm gone

Doesn't matter what you do

It's what you did that's hurting you

All I needed was the truth

Now I'm gone..."

Aruto had finally caught up with Mei-Suu. "You okay?" He asked, he had no clue however, as to what he should say or do now that she was found.

"Yeah, I'm used to that asshole's antics, it just sorta got to me this time." Mei-Suu answered with her back turned to Aruto, as she looked from the rooftop and watched as cars and people seemed to speed by.

"So what's your history with him... If you don't mind me asking of course." Aruto asked curiously, he had to get her down soon.

"What you see's not what you get..."

It seemed that even on the rooftop you could hear Kyoko's amazing voice belting out it's demon slicing lyrics.

"He and I were engaged, and with us both at work and on tour all the time, we had no time to reconnect and so when he said "I do" to me there was no emotion in his voice, no love, nothing. It seemed that our love for each other had disappeared. I couldn't say it back." Mei-Suu looked back at him and sadly smiled, a tear streamed down her cheek.

Aruto moved forward and wiped it away gently, "I understand. I've had some trouble myself."

"What you see's not what you get..."

Mei-Suu kissed Aruto on the cheek before walking past him to the door, she turned back, "Thank you, Aruto-san." Then she just left him there and walked back down to the studio.

"What just happened?" Aruto asked himself before dumbly following her, his hand over his cheek, and his face as red as Rudolph's nose.

"You know you did it

I'm gone

To find someone to live for in this world

There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight

Just a bridge that I gotta burn..."

Mei-Suu walked through the door with a smirk on her face, and then Aruto entered and everyone's eyes widened. The young guitarist looked like a tomato.

"What'd you do to him?" Raiko whispered to Mei-Suu.

"I just thanked him for the support."

"Oooh!" Raiko understood that, and laughed.

"You were wrong

If you think you can walk right through my door

That's just so you

Coming back when I've finally moved on

I'm already gone..."

"She is pretty good," Sasori muttered watching Kyoko finish up the song.

"Yup, she is..." Aruto blushed more as he looked at Mei-Suu's back.

"Jeez! We're just going to keep running in circles!" Raiko said with a deep sigh.

"I'm already gone

Ooh, I'm already gone

Gone

Gone

Already gone

I'm gone."

"Alright Kyoko-san you're done." Announced the producer, Daichi Murasaki. He wore thin-frame oval glasses over his light-brown eyes, and his hair was a short and choppy chocolate brown. He was an amateur but he had skills yet to be seen.

"Ah! Thank you, thank you, Murasaki-sama!" She beamed at him before exiting from the recording room.

"Kyoko-san, please just call me Daichi, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Murasaki-sama, but I'm just very formal." She looked down.

"It's fine, which ever makes you comfortable." Daichi replied, rubbing his forehead.

"That was great, Kyoko-sama!" Aruto was the first to congratulate her.

"Aruto, quit the chit-chat and get in there." Daichi tried to sound mean but his smile spoiled it.

"Fine." He laughed. Raiko and Sasori left for the break-room while Mei-Suu spoke with Kyoko.

"Hey, Mogami-sama, would you like to join me for some ice cream, there's a parlor nearby." Mei-Suu asked her.

"Sure! Let me get ready!" Kyoko smiled, grabbed her purse, and then walked out to the washroom. Mei-Suu followed suit.

Kyoko pulled her hair up and then placed a black-haired wig on. The irony of the wig was it made her look like she did before she ever had the fight with Sho, back when she was plain and boring. Next she added some fake scar tissue, she'd gotten from the Dark Moon series, to her cheek in a very thin line. Mei-Suu raised an eyebrow at this. "If anyone recognizes me, the Kyoko they know doesn't have this scar, so I'm home-free," she smiled as Mei-Suu nodded, "By the way. Please call me Koko-chan, when we're in public, okay?"

"Sure, and just call me Mei-chan, I don't want to be attacked either." Mei-Suu replied as she began pinning her curls up in a messy bun. After she was done, she put a pair of fake glasses on and some pale lipstick. She looked completely opposite of her real self.

"Alright, Mei-chan, ready?"

"Yup, let's g-go, Koko-c-chan." Mei-Suu answered her voice was very nibble and modest. Kyoko giggled.

"You should try acting as well, your character switch is amazing." Mei-Suu nodded with a smile.

"T-thank you, Koko-chan."

With that they left for some well deserved ice cream.

A Ren Break Special!

Ren sighed as he watched his co-star fail once again with her lines in a scene he was thankful he wasn't in, besides our Ren had more problems to worry about. Like 'Why couldn't I just call her Kyoko-chan?!' And who could not think of, 'What if I just push her away straight back into that jerk's arms, then what am I to do?!' Poor Ren was so confused. Everything was tearing apart in his mind. The fibers of his brain seemed to tear and tangle with every passing second. Of course Yashiro coming in with a radio never seemed to help this fact either.

"Ren-san! It's another one! She wrote another one!" Yashiro smiled.

"She tends to do that you know..."

"But I think this one is about you!"

"What? I highly doubt that."

"Just listen, I recorded it for you." Yashiro pressed the play button.

"Hear me, hear me..."

Ren immediately thought about how she'd asked him to call her by her first name.

"You gotta be out there

You gotta be somewhere

Wherever you are

I'm waiting..."

Ren sighed, "Honestly I doubt it's about me."

"Just listen to her, Ren-san."

"Cause there are these nights when

I sing myself to sleep And I'm hoping my dreams bring you close to me

Are you listening..."

Ren listened and tried to ignore the possibility of Yashiro being right but, new thoughts began to feel his mind.

"Hear me, I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down, find me

I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me..."

He began to pace the room to make sense of everything. It was obvious that so far Kyoko had written songs about herself but maybe this one was for a friend or something. It must be, right?

"I used to be scared of letting someone in

But it gets so lonely, being on my own

No one to talk to

No one to hold me

I'm not always strong

Oh, I need you here

Are you listening..."

"R-r-ren-san?" Yashiro backed away, terrified. Ren's face was an emotional train wreck. Turmoil scribbled itself across his forehead. Confusion danced in his lost eyes. Fear trembled along his lower lip. He was nowhere near sanity anymore, he was 200 miles away as he danced around the room like a lonely puppy. (Just imagined Ren with puppy ears. Kawaii!!)

"That's enough." He stopped all of the sudden and stormed towards the door.

"Just listen to it!" Yashiro grabbed his shoulder, "Besides, your face."

Ren looked back and his face relaxed taking back in the many emotions it had just portrayed all at once.

"Thank you for warning me, but as I said before it's probably something else, Yukihito" Ren's voice sent shivers down Yashiro's back, not to mention the use of Yashiro's first name, which Ren usually never did.

"Ren-san," Yashiro gulped, he had never be so scared before but he needed him to listen so that the stubborn Tsuruga Ren would finally understand Kyoko's feelings, "Please listen to the entire song."

"Fine."

The radio kept playing her song.

"Hear me, I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down, find me

I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me..."

'I'm letting this crazy song consume me too fast. I need to think of how to go about all this logically, besides I doubt that this is really meant to be towards me.' Ren thought. He'd calmed down considerably as the lyrics of Kyoko's song swarmed his mind.

"I'm restless and wild

I fall but I try

I need someone to understand (can you hear me)

I'm lost in my thoughts

And baby, I fought for all that I've got

Can you hear me "

"So, Ren-san, what do you plan on doing?" Yashiro asked.

"I plan on continuing on as usual, why do you ask?"

"Because you won't be the only one after her for long."

"Huh?" He quirked an eyebrow at the smirking Yashiro.

"Her music career is getting her more attention than ever before, soon other guys will see what you see but won't be so reluctant to take it."

Ren just glared at Yashiro even though he knew his manager was right.

"Hear me, I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down, find me

I'm lost inside the crowd, it's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you, to please..."

He took a short breath and listened to the lyrics. They sounded sad and desolate, could she really feel that way? He wondered if Yashiro was right. Of course even though he told himself it just wasn't possible he knew it was, but where did that leave him? Trapped in a web made from twisted love and horrible turmoil? He didn't know what to believe anymore.

Did Kyoko fall in love with him?

"Hear me, hear me, hear me, hear me!"

Ren looked at Yashiro and then looked away.

"You know I'll have to leave the business, right?" He asked Yashiro. He sat there waiting for a reaction.

"My job is to make sure you're happy." That was not the reaction Ren was looking for.

"You know I'll have to go back to my real name."

"Your mom misses you anyway." He just shot right back at Ren.

"You're no help."

Yashiro just laughed.

"Can you hear me?

Hear me, hear me, hear me..."

Ren grabbed his coat and pulled it on.

"Well today's scene is over, so you have time to catch her if you want." Yashiro offered with a smirk. Ren just shook his head.

"No, I'd rather not."He said while in his thoughts he added, 'I'd tell her everything if I did.'

"Can you hear me?

Hear me, hear me, hear me..."

Back with Koko-chan and Mei-chan (Kyoko and Mei-Suu)

Kyoko indulged in some Chocolate Remedy, while Mei-Suu had just got French Vanilla with crushed butterscotch and whipped cream. They talked of life before fame and old friends, Kyoko even told Mei-Suu about Corn.

"So," Mei-Suu tried thinking of how to ask her question without being such a snoop but couldn't, "Koko-chan, i-is there a-anything behind the l-lyrics of today's song?" She asked making sure to keep the stutter up.

Kyoko sighed, she knew someone would ask about it so she'd practice denying it and lying about it, but something about Mei-Suu made her want to spill her burden, which she'd yet to be able to do with Kanae.

"I once thought I was in love with my best friend at that time, Shotaro... Fuwa." Mei-Suu's jaw dropped at this confession.

"W-W-WHAT?!" This time she didn't have to fake the stutter. Kyoko continued and told Mei-Suu the rest of her story and even included the thing about Ren. By the time she was done she realized what she had done and covered her mouth. It was no longer hidden, a secret deep within herself, no the eighteen-wheeler truck drove by a raccoon that had been on her back, was now gone. Mei-Suu understood her and wouldn't tell a soul.

But a secret like such couldn't be hidden forever.

Evil lines. Anyway I'm no longer going to promise certain time updates I'll only promise that the next chapter will be done in the next three weeks so peoples, I love you all, please review!

Oh and one more thing I'm working on another songfic one-shot about Ren's past. It'll be a bit dark but I'll try to make it really good, and no he won't die.
