A/N: So I got some wifi connection and thought I would post this for you :D
Although I mentioned some big ideas, this is more of a lead-up chapter rather than an action one. I actually wanted to make it longer but realized that it is actually really long already ;) Hope you enjoy!

After taking a refreshing shower Kyoko walked out of the bathroom in Setsu's usual pajamas and saw Ren curled up under some sheets on the bed. The digital clock read 1:38 am, proclaiming that she should be asleep by now ( a/n: if you read the chapters before 195 she mentions that it's 1o'clock in the morning when she gets there so she didn't just take a five hour shower (^.-)) A shiver wracked her tiny body putting goosebumps all over her flesh.
Kyoko sat on the edge of her bed facing Ren and shivered again as her skin made contact with the cold sheets. Enviously she stared over at Ren's bed which was probably extremely warm from his body heat. The thought of jumping into bed with him flit through her mind bringing a blush to her cheeks. But the idea wasn't so far-fetched as Setsu wouldn't give it a second thought.
Kyoko however, was not as willing to jump into bed with a man, EVEN if she did... love him. Slowly she tiptoed over to the side of the bed Ren was facing and stood in front of him. Gently she pulled the sheets down from his head. Asleep he seemed so calm, serene even. Without thinking about it Kyoko lovingly pushed his bangs back from his face.
Suddenly a hand shot out grabbing her wrist and forcing a squeal out of her. Ren, the culprit's eyes were open and he pulled her down onto the bed with him.
"Mmm... You're warm," he murmured into her back letting out a yawn.
He snuggled closer his big hands surrounding her waist and supporting her head. Stiff and awkward, Kyoko began to mutter nonsensical excuses as to why they shouldn't sleep together. Tsuruga was having none of this and turned her around to face him.
" Close your eyes and I'll tell you spell to put you to sleep."
Afraid to anger him in anyway, Kyoko closed her eyes and waited for something to happen. Ren closed in and kissed her nose then pulled her close and whispered the words of an American lullaby. Tired and worn out from the days events, Kyoko fell into a deep sleep surrounded in Ren's embrace.
The next morning was no different than any of the Heel's normal mornings. Ready to get the last day of shooting over with, Cain and Setsu had a quick breakfast and strode on to the set. On set muramuse shied away from the Heel's and their ruthless aura. The director came over to give Cain a short reminder of what he was to do next and sent him off to get make-up done.
Shooting in the morning ended early as there had been no ngs. Everybody ate a small lunch and scurried back on set to shoot the last scene of BJ. Cain stood in the middle of the set staring straight at the camera, his red eyes giving everyone but Setsu the chills. For this last scene he had to jump off of a fake cliff into the 'streets' below and run away from his pursuers into the night.
Muramuse was the one pursuing him and he felt a bit as though Cain deserved being chased. With a loud clack the shot began and Cain ran at full speed towards the short drop off. Right on his tail was Muramuse who had too much momentum and stretched out his arms to stop and gave BJ an extra push.
"OOMMPH!"
Cain laid still on the fall cushion his face becoming alarmingly pale. A pair of heels clicked speedily across the room bringing Setsu over to his side. Complete silence had fallen over the crew as they watched the siblings carefully. Crouching down Kyoko fought to stay calm and checked all his vitals. He drew a ragged breath and winced as her fingers briefly passed over his shoulder.
Without warning Setsu popped Cain's arm back into his socket and everybody released a breath they hadn't known they were holding. Those trained in medical care came over to check over Cain and the rest of the crowd began to mill around again and get their jobs done. Setsu and the main nurse briefly discussed how Cain should be treated and with a bit of heaving they got him on her shoulder.
Back upstairs Ren stood in the shower washing off all of the makeup for BJ. Kyoko knocked on the door and inquired about how he was doing. Ren called back that he was fine and would be out soon. Once out of the bathroom Kyoko set Ren up on the bed propped up by pillows.
" I'm going to the corner store to pick up some food and medicine, you stay here and DON't MOVE!" she admonished.
He conceded with a short nod and she left him after a bit more pecking around.
A/N: A lot of fanfictions focus on Kyoko's mom but I want to shine some light on her father. Expect some interesting plot twists and a bit of desperation.
But straying away from that, I am currently on vacation and have been thinking over this story's plot. I also found myself listening to 'Headlock' by Imogen Heap a lot, and a whole bunch of her other songs :) Recently I found a website for the best Skip Beat! fanfictions:
Happy New Years!
