A/N: I just went back and revised a few things, adding a little here and there. Hope you enjoy. :)

Fairy Tale

Ren kept an eye on the cat on his sofa as he washed the plate, scrubbing absentmindedly. He could still feel the panic from earlier, when he had stepped out of the shop and looked around to find that the little black cat wasn't there. Glancing up, he saw her running around the corner, and a soft smile had replaced his anxious scowl, and he had been about to greet her when she ran into a teenage boy, probably around 17 or 18, with his hands stuffed in his pockets and eyes trained on the ground. Instead of laughing it off like Ren had been expected, the boy had suddenly whirled, slamming his foot into her side and throwing her into the building. It had taken Ren only a split second to reach the boy, nearly reaching out and...

He shook his head and walked back over to the sofa, sitting on the cushion beside her gently so as not to jostle her. Her amber eyes opened and she stared at him sadly, her ears pressed back. He placed his hand on her side and gently smoothed the fur there, feeling the deep vibrations of her purring. The vet had told him that cats purr when they are in pain as well as happy, and the thought made him wince. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked the little cat as he stared into her eyes, wondering how he had managed to miss the fact that this was the girl he loved. She didn't respond, instead closing her sad, closed off eyes, and turning away. "Hey." He scratched the back of her neck and gently rolled one of her ears between his fingers, smiling when she finally relaxed and stretched out a little. "Kyoko?" She finally looked back up at him. "Are you feeling okay?" He repeated the question, and she shrugged her little shoulders, lying her head back down. "What's wrong?" She meowed at him plaintively, and he wished more than anything to know what it was she was trying to tell him. "I'm sorry." He whispered, his eyes miserable. "Are you in pain?" She shook her head a little. "Are you…angry?" She seemed to think for a second, the shook her head. "Um…sad." He guessed. She nodded then, looking up at him as if he could fix her problems. "I'm sorry." He whispered again, shaking his head helplessly.

Kyoko sighed a little. 'It's not his fault. I shouldn't be blaming him for my problems. There isn't anything he can do. He's already helping me." Making a decision, she slowly pulled herself upright, distributing her weight between her four paws, and, turning, slowly closed the small distance between them. Flinching as the vertical movement made her side ache, she walked toward him until her front paws were pressed against his legs.

"What are you…." He stopped when she lay back down, her head resting on his leg, and smiled.

"I love you." She meowed, looking up at him, using every fiber of her being to show how she felt for him with her eyes. Nudging his hand, she rubbed her face across it, purring loudly. Glancing back up, she saw that he was smiling lovingly down at her. 'How can I become human again!' She cried in her mind. 'How long am I going to be stuck as a cat, unable to tell him how I feel?' Closing her eyes, she let the pain pill induced drowsiness take over for a while as her sempai's large hand massaged her side and smoothed her fur.

A few hours later she woke again, and this time she was alone in the living room. Gingerly, she stood and walked to the edge of the couch, finding that it wasn't as difficult as before, Slowly, she leaned her body over the edge and jumped, meowing sharply when she hit the ground. "Kyoko?" Desperately, she straightened and looked up at the approaching man innocently, cursing her sonic hearing. "What are you doing? You shouldn't be moving around!" He hurried toward her, his mouth turned down in anxiety.

Normally, she would have listened to him…or at least taken the time to argue, but a little red ball of light caught her attention and her eyes widened.

"HEY!" She cried, turning and hobbling over to the window as quickly as possible. Ren followed as well, calling after her, but not wanting to pick her up and risk hurting her. "You! Fairy! I need to talk to you!" She snapped, ignoring the lage man behind her. The little creature turned from the window and smiled at her.

"Oh. Hi Kyoko. How are you feeling?" She floated down and stood in front of the little black cat with a happy grin. Kyoko was having none of it, Using her front paw, she swiped at the creature, pinning her to the ground and baring her teeth.

"What is your problem!" She cried. "I thought fairies were supposed to be wonderful and nice! But you turned me into a cat and now Tsuruga-san has to take care of me!" The fairy stared at her with wide eyes.

"What do you mean? You love him!" Kyoko's eyes widened.

"Shhhh! Don't say that so loudly!"

"Well you do!" The fairy crossed her arms and pouted. "You said so. And that was the point."

"So make me human again!" She cried. "I don't want to be a cat anymore?"

"Why? So that you can tell him how much you love him?" The little red creature teased. Kyoko hissed irritably. "Fine. You can be human again. But you have to figure out how to turn yourself back."

"…what!" Kyoko screeched. "What is your problem? How am I supposed to do that?"

Ren stared down at the little black cat in concern. She was hissing loudly, meowing and screeching at something between her paws. Her body and paws were blocking whatever she was so angry with, and he started to crouch down.

"Don't worry. You'll figure it out!" The little creature waved and slipped between Kyoko's paws, hurrying for the window. Kyoko screeched after her, chasing her to the wall then standing up on her hind legs, ignoring the pain in her side.

"Get back here! Turn me back now!" Ren reached out hesitantly and touched her.

"Kyoko? What's wrong?"

"How did you not see the fairy!" She cried, pointing her paw at the window. "That was the fairy that turned me into a cat! She won't turn me back!" She wailed, sitting down and crying plaintively. He cocked his head, reaching out and hesitantly touching her head.

He ventured a guess. "Um…you're hungry?" Her ears flattened and he retraced his hand in a hurry.

After the episode with the little red fairy, Kyoko was in a perpetual bad mood, settling herself on the sofa and hissing whenever he tried to talk her into eating something. Eventually, he gave up, smirking when an idea hit him. Walking over to the sofa, he lay on his stomach, placed his chin on his hands, legs bent in the air, he placed his nose against hers. Jerking in surprise, her eyes widened and she squeaked a little. "Tsuruga-san?" She meowed, tilting her head. He was smiling, amused at the shocked sound. "What are you doing?" He only lifted an eyebrow, reaching down and grabbing one of the toy mice on the floor. He held it up, dangling it in front of her face, gently dragging it over her face. After a second, against her will, she lifted her paw and batted it out of her face. He chuckled, bringing a finger up and scratching her under the chin. 'He's trying to cheer me up.' She meowed again, this time a little less irritably, and he grinned at her playfully.

"Good kitty." He cooed, making her roll her eyes and swat at his face, claws retracted, only patting him softly with the pad of her paw. He reached out and caught her small paw between his fingers, grinning boyishly when she tried to pull it back.

"Hey!" She meowed, starting to stand, her desire to play getting the better of her when she collapsed back on the couch, the pain returning. Immediately he released her, then, much to her surprise, leaned over and gave her a kiss on her forehead between her eyes. Sadly, he rested his nose on he forehead.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. "I'm sorry I left you alone." He petted her side, being as gentle as possible. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you." She shook her head and nudged his face with her nose, purring loudly. He smiled at her return attempts to cheer him up and scooped her into his arms, sitting up and holding her against his chest. 'I love you.' He thought it to her, putting it into every look he gave her as she curled in his embrace.

Kuu stormed through the LME lobby, jabbed the elevator button, and crossed his arms irritably. As soon as the metal doors slid open, he stepped inside, jabbing at the 'door close' button. When he reached the top floor, Lory was waiting for him in the hallway with a grim smile. "Hello Kuu."

"Lory, where is she!" He snarled.

Deciding that he had enough of this, Lory grinned. "Sorry Kuu. She's at your son's house. He's sort of the one behind all this, so you'll have to ask him." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a keycard, handing it over with a grin.

Both actor and cat decided to go to bed relatively early after a quick dinner of leftover hamburger steaks which Ren finally convinced her to eat. Ren carefully sat her on the bed and disappeared into the bathroom to change. She was nearly asleep as soon as he sat her down on the soft comforter. There had never been any question of her sleeping in the cat bed, especially since he found out who she was, and she was grateful. However, she still missed the mumbling coming from the window as she waited for him to join her.

"I thought you said that you would turn her back when she learns her lesson." The blue fairy pointed out.

"I will!"

"But she's learned it! She loves him and wants to tell him, right? What are you waiting for?"

The red fairy smiled evilly. "You'll see."

Ren pulled the covers over himself, slipping between the sheets, and curled his arm around the little cat. She opened her eyes and met his tired ones, nudging his cheek. He laughed softly, petting her. She purred happily, closing her eyes again, and pretended to be asleep, waiting for his breathing to even out. 'Well…I can't tell him that I love him…but I can do this…' Making sure he was asleep, she slowly nuzzled her nose against him and gave his cheek a quick lick with her rough tongue, sighing in relief when he only smiled and mumbled in his sleep.

The blue fairy's jaw dropped and she pointed to the cat dramatically. "Oh come on! She kissed him! You can't say that she doesn't love him now!"

"Wait for it!" She cried excitedly.

Ten minutes passed. Suddenly, with a grin, the red fairy silently flew over to Kyoko and the little cat was surrounded with red dust, going unnoticed by Ren, until, in a matter of seconds, the little cat stretched and transformed in a very naked woman pressed against him.

Ren shifted in his sleep as the red fairy flew back to her window seat.

"What?" Blue asked with a lifted eyebrow. "You wanted her to be in bed with him?"

"Wait for it!"

Ren felt something warm under his hand and shifted it a little. Whatever it was was soft and smooth. "Hm?" He mumbled. Sure that Kyoko's fur wasn't so smooth, he opened his eyes and smothered a yell, jerking his arm off of her bare back. "Oh God." He mumbled, staring down at the completely naked girl in his bed. "Oh….crap! Oh…wow…." He stopped freaking out for a minute when she turned to her back, her breasts rising and falling with each breath. His gaze trailing downward, his eyes stopped here her legs met and his throat went dry. 'Oh...wow.' Without conscious thought his hand moved toward her, landing on her smooth stomach and sliding upward, nearly touching her breast, but stopped suddnely. 'No. I can't do that to her. I need to wake her up.' Sighing at the thought he reached over and touched her shoulder, trying to look only at her face. She whimpered and rolled over to face him again. About to jerk away, he froze when he saw the large black and blue mark covering her side and flinched in sympathy. Carefully, his fingers ghosted over the discolored skin, and she flinched and giggled in her sleep. He smiled and pulled the covers over her, pulling her over gently, and was pleasantly surprised when she snuggled into him contentedly. Closing his eyes, he started to drift off.

"Were you hoping for a sex scene? MO! You pervert!"

"Just a few more seconds!"

The door flew open, making a dent in the wall where it banged against it. "Ren Tsuruga, what have you done to my daughter?"

"There it is." The blue fairy's jaw dropped as her friend giggled and sat back against the window pane. Turning with a sigh, she decided to enjoy the show.

Ren jerked upright. "What are you doing here!" He cried at the same time Kyoko bolted upright before crying out in pain and clutching her side, dropping back to the bed. Looking down at herself, she was first relieved, then mortified. The sheets had pooled around her waist and glancing up at her father, she could see that his red face was turned away.

'Well, I'm certainly human again.' Suddenly the sheets were pulled back over her and Ren was touching her arm.

"Hey. Are you okay?" She managed a slight nod, her face bright red with no fur to hide it.

"Tsuruga-san, I'd like to have a word with you." The older man turned and slammed the door shut behind him, face still red. 'What were they doing in bed together! Why is my little girl naked!' The thought made him blush brighter and he groaned.

"Tsuruga-san! I'm so…" She started to sit up as she spoke but his firm hand on her bare shoulder kept her still.

"No. Don't be sorry." His handsome face was set in a worried frown as he squeezed her arm. "You can just stay here. I'll go talk to Hizuri-san, and I'll sleep on the couch. Okay?" He was about to leave when she grabbed his arm, jerking him down so that he nearly fell on top of her, and pressed her lips to his, her eyes locked on his.

'No. I finally realized that I love him and I've been trying to tell him all day. I'm not waiting any longer!'

Not having the willpower to deny the naked woman lying in his bed, he did the only thing he could do and kissed her back.

A/N: Short, but there wasn't all that much to say for this chapter without making it boring. Thanks for reading :)
