A/N: See You Again by Miley Cyrus (I'm a bit embarrassed that actually have that song, but Kyoko would st-stutt-ter, especially if Ren doesn't control himself :-P)

My reflection looked so plain. I'm not heavenly like the angel in that idiot's PV. I'm nowhere near as beautiful as Moko-san was in the Kyurara commercial. I don't look as elegant as I did when I acted as Choko for a few hours or as Mio. I didn't look sexy or attractive like Natsu does.

I took a shower after filming for "Box R" and with it, Natsu's confidence washed away. Many people have told me that my characters are derived off of my own personality. They are very wrong. I am not confident like Natsu is. I'm not attractive enough for someone like Tsuruga Ren to ever look twice at me in capacity besides a kohai. I'm not confident to accept something so… unthinkable… as me being the girl he loves.

Ahhhh! Why of all times does someone have to call me! Where did I put it? I hope it's not him! I don't know what to say! How can I talk to him while I'm feeling like this?

Unlisted? It must be Tsuruga-san!

"Moshi-moshi?" Even I could hear the own nervousness in my voice.

"How are you, Kyoko?" As I thought, his voice greeted me.

"Al-alright, what about you, Tsu-" Hopefully I could slip that lie past him…

"Kyoko-chan, I thought I asked you to call me Ren." It was a soft admonition, very unlike the one's I had always expected from him.

"Gomenasai! I can't beli-" He cut me off again.

"Kyoko-chan, don't worry so much. I'm sure it'll be a while before you get used to using my given name. You don't need to apologize all the time to me. I'm happy you're still talking to me."

"Really?" That seemed weird. I always talk to him. Why would he be happy that I'm talking with him? Doesn't he have better things to do?

"Yeah. I thought that you would be thinking I was either mistaken or bullying you this afternoon. I was sure you'd ignore my call."

How did he know? Can he read my mind or something? How do I answer that? I don't want to offend him and think that I don't trust him, but I don't want to lie to him and have him lose trust in me.

"Kyoko-chan?" I snapped back to the conversation. I couldn't keep the smile off my face at how my name sounded. It was soft and affectionate. It was like that other time when I was taking care of him when he had a fever. I thought he was thinking about another Kyoko, but right now there really wasn't any way he could confuse me for someone else, or feverish for that matter. He called me. But that was the only other time that someone ever said my name like that. I wish that he'd continue to call me that.

"Did I lose you, Kyoko?" He really liked using my name, apparently. Why was he dropping the suffix all of a sudden?

"No, no, I'm here!"

"Was I right?"

"…About what?

"That you thought I was insincere about what I said earlier."

"Oh! No, no! Well, I mean ye- No! but…!" His chuckle in response made me a little angry.

"I guess I was right, which is why I called you. I thought you would be second guessing everything."

I looked down at my hand in my lap. I was tugging on the hem of my skirt. How does he know so much? He waited before he continued since I didn't really know what to say.

"First of all, I'm not mistaken. How could I mistake something as important as who I love?" I opened my mouth to interject. Didn't he love some other high school girl? What would she think? She'd be heartbroken! I don't want to be the cause of that! But I wouldn't be able to say anything anyways, since that's something Bo knows and not me. Oh my goodness, what will he think, when he finds out? Wait, he shouldn't find out, I should tell him. I don't know how to tell him I've been keeping a secret from him all this time. He's sure to get angry at me. He might change his mind about saying he loved me!

He didn't pause long enough, so I couldn't voice any of my concerns.

"Second, I deeply regret not being nice to you when we first met. Ever since then, you've had a very poor image of me that I've been trying very hard to correct." Huh? I've respected him beyond everyone! I've fiercely defended him to Otou-san when he first met me. He said good things or reprimanded me when necessary. He was right to not like my motivations for entering the industry, so I don't hold that against him. How did I have a bad image of him?

"And third, which was the real reason why I called, was to ask you out on a date."

"Oh!" That's right, he said he was going to ask me out on a date. I've never been on a date before. What does dating really mean? What do we do, how do I act? I don't know anything practical about dating. I can only guess that I should wear make-up on one, which is exciting!

"Are you free for dinner on Thursday?" Is that what dating entails? Wait, he was offering to eat?

"You're offering to eat? It better be something nutritious and not something convenient." His chuckle came over the phone.

"We'll have something proper to eat, I promise. Not frog legs either." I could hear him smile. But something didn't quite make sense to me.

"We've eaten together before, what makes this a date?" I was confused, did that make all the other times that we ate together a date?

"We're calling it a date. It's like kissing, if both parties want to kiss each other, then it counts as a kiss…" I swear, I would be looking at Emperor of the Night if he were here right now! Why was he saying these sorts of things? I really hope no one was listening to his side of the conversation; they might get embarrassed by overhearing such things.

"Oh…." I really didn't know what to say. The thought of the kiss in the hallway filled my head. That was certainly a mutual action… My cheeks felt warm just thinking about it…

Eating together, that's it? It seems so... simple.

"I still don't really understand what the point of a date is… Tsuru-…Ren-san…" A sigh reached my ears.

"We spend time together, not working, not worrying about other people and getting to know each other better."

"Oh, that makes sense. Yes, I'd like to have dinner with you Thursday."

"Great, I'll talk to you later then, Kyoko-chan." I felt warm hearing those words.

"Talk to you later." Good thing I didn't have any mean roles to play for the rest of the day. I don't think I could remove the smile plastered on my face.
