Chapter Six: Unexpected Outcome

Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat

Ren calmly walks up to Sho and stands in front of him.

"I believe Mogami-san told you to leave."

"What are you talking about? She let me in."

Kyoko runs in.

"I did not! Don't believe him Tsuruga! "

"Don't worry. I know you didn't."

Kyoko runs and tries to push Sho out the door, except he wouldn't budge.

"What is Ren Tsuruga doing here anyway?...Oh! Don't tell me that you guys are sleeping together now. Are you? How was it Ren? Not pleasant. Huh?....Never thought that Kyoko was much of a looker if I do say myself."

Kyoko was about to shut Sho up with her fists, but somebody beat her to it. Ren, out of nowhere, throws a punch at Sho right in his face.

"DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT KYOKO LIKE THAT AGAIN! DO YOU HEAR ME?"

Kyoko was sure that Sho was unconscience. She threw herself on Ren to stop him from smashing Sho's face in more.

"Stop! Tsuruga...I am sure you have made your point....You don't want to hurt him anymore....he will probably tell the press and they will be all over you...So please stop."

"Did you not just hear what he said about you? About us?"

"Yes I heard...I was about to punch him myself....but you shouldn't have....If I punched him...then the press really wouldn't care about me....they would think it was something like 'Childhood friend rivalry'....but with you it will be more like....'Ren Tsuruga and Sho Fuwa get in a fight over a girl?' or something of its worth...."

Ren smiles...

"You are right...."

"Of course I am!"

"Okay...Let's not get too over our heads." As he says this, Ren gently rubs the top of Kyoko's head.

"Now...what do we do with the body?"

"Mogami-san...you make it sound like I murdered him..."

"It sure looks like you did...let's lay him on the couch in the living room. We can go upstairs....and talk some more...."

"Sounds like a date." Ren smiles.

"I-i-it does n-n-not..."

Ren bursts out laughing at the fact that he teased Kyoko...One may think this is his hobby. Kyoko blushes and marched to go pick up Sho....Only one problem...He is way to heavy for her alone. Ren comes and helps her.

"I don't need any help...I've got this all on my own..."

"Sure looks like it....as you almost drop him."

Ren now takes Sho from her and puts him on the couch.

"Now, We go upstairs." Ren smiles.

"...I guess we don't have a choice with that moron lying downstairs..."

"Lead the way, Princess." Ren smiles.

"On second thought...we should stay down here...."

"Why? You don't like me calling you Princess?"

"Not at all."

"Then what should I call you?"

"Call me....Kyoko."

"I can do that...Kyoko."

Kyoko thinks it is so weird hearing Ren speak her first name.

Both Ren and Kyoko head upstairs and sit on a couch in a guestroom.

"Tsuruga...what is wrong with you? You don't seem your usual self...."

"Hmm...I think its because we shared our pasts with each other...it seemed to have lightened my mood." He smiles.

"...Don't ever stop smiling."

"And why is that?"

"I guess it's because you rarely let people see your true smile...you always show off your I-am-in-a-bad-mood smile....your gentlemanly smile. I think I am afraid that I won't ever see that real smile of yours....again...."

Ren, not knowing why, gets really close to Kyoko. He is just inches a way from her...he gets closer...he leans his mouth toward her ear and whispers seven simple words that gets Kyoko so red in the face.

"Why in the world did you say that? What if people heard you?"

"That is why I whispered it....and by the way...I said it because it was true."

"Whatever...I think I am going to check up on Sho....you know...to make sure that he hasn't bled on the sofa or something..."

"Okay..I will be waiting."

Kyoko sees that Sho is up and about, wondering the house.

"Alright, time for you to leave!"

"Yeah..yeah...I was on my way out anyway."

"Good."

"Oh...Kyoko...I apologize what I said before....I know you guys aren't sleeping together....well then....see ya."

Kyoko closed the door as soon as he went outside and locked it.

Kyoko wasn't so sure whether she should return to Ren or not....She was so confused about her feelings towards him....She always told herself, after the Sho incident, that she will never fall in love again. Now she wasn't so sure...All that was on her mind were those whispered words. I will never stop smiling for you. What did this mean....Did Ren have special feelings for Kyoko? Looking back...she realizes that he has to...All of the things he's done for her....all the opportunities Ren has had to tell Kyoko his true feelings....She now knows that she has blown him off every single time he tries....But wait...Ren is a nice guy....why would he like Kyoko more special than anyone else? Would it be because of their little portion of the past that they shared together? She goes back upstairs....to Ren.

"Tsuruga...is there anyone in your life right now that you deeply care about?"

"Yes." Ren answered without hesitation.

"Do you care so much about this person that you will do anything for her?"

"If it's reasonable...yes."

"If she does not return your feelings...would you give up on her? Or will you always be trying to win her over?"

"I guess it depends why she won't return my feelings....If she refuses for selfish reasons, then I will definitely not give up on her, but...if she is happy without me and with someone else....than I might give up."

"What if she did return your feelings....or moreover...what if she was confused and didn't know how she felt about you?"

"I would tell her that She shoudn't say no to me because she isn't sure of her feelings...I would say that we should give dating a shot."

That confirmed Kyoko's answer to Ren's.

"...Tsuruga..." Kyoko walks closer and sits down next to him....practically on top of him.

"If you are willing....would you like to try....dating me?"
