AN: I have decided to try something, to update only once I've got the new chapter for all of my stories (well the five I'm updating). I think it's with classes starting that I won't have much time to write :( but hopefully you will continue to support me.

Chapter Thirty Two :: Going down to Kyoto

Two Days Later

Yashiro paled as he turned on the television, he grinned catching a clip of Box R and then froze, was that really Kyoko? That cold, calculating smile on her face...no more like a smirk. He felt shivers run through his entire body before smiling and closing his eyes. If only Kuon were in a situation where I could tease him about this.

"Coming up, caught two timing? Actress Kyoko says that it's a no but what will her new partner say?" Yashiro opened his eyes to look at the TV where Kyoko was walking out of different places or seen at different restaurants and public places with Vie Ghoul's Reino. Wasn't that...the stalker and the rapist?

Yashiro screamed as he watched and then his eyes caught to a video someone had taken of Kyoko letting that man kiss her in the middle of the doctor's room.

"Is daddy really going to be taking responsibility of his mistake? Is Hizuri as stale as dried daikon?" the reporter smiled as Yashiro shook his head, inside still freaking out. He paused as he caught Kyoko dealing with the reporters and then heard her response.

"He's not my boyfriend but I'm not sure I can tell you that we're not dating," she commented as Yashiro froze. This was enough to break any man's heart

Meanwhile

Kuon looked down at the hospital bed, he had told Kyoko he was at a clinic but it was more like a hospital than anything else. He smiled weakly as he looked at a picture of them together, it was taken at LME but it was him with his arms around Kyoko as she blushed at the sight of the camera. I need something to always remind me of us, he had told her at the time.

Was leaving her wrong? Was coming here wrong? He had to say that being here at this "clinic" was hard when instead he could be beside the one he loved, but it was right. He looked up at the clock on the wall and smiled, wasn't Box R going to be continued again today? It aired last week so it would probably air this week. He had found it hard to remain within his room, with attached bathroom, for most hours of the day but it was better to keep his identity hidden...all of his identities.

As he sat there one of the doctor's came and knocked on his door so he got up and walked over there, he was wondering whether it was his chance to talk. What worried him though were that just being here seemed to release them, the others and so he knew that perhaps he needed to go somewhere else. It was Lory who arranged that he'd be here originally.

"Hizuri-san," she whispered before seeing him exit the room with a weak smile, in his hand he held Corn something that Kyoko wouldn't let him be without. "You should come out of your room more," the doctor said to him.

"I'm trying not to get recognized," he replied as she nodded.

"Understandable, however this is a clinic for stars, usually those stars who need to rehabilitate from drugs or alcohol, but we cater to others with more psychological conditions. I'm sure everyone is more worried about whether you will tell on them rather than telling on you," the doctor told him, "Besides, Box R is starting again your girlfriend is in that isn't she?"

"Yes she is," Kuon nodded, "Thank you, I feel like I will go down to the lounge," he said before checking his watch, the watch Kyoko had given him and nodded just a few more minutes. As he got close to the place where the TV was on he paused as he saw Kyoko standing with Reino on the TV, he looked around at the people absorbed by the TV and then heard Kyoko's response.

"He's not my boyfriend but I'm not sure I can tell you that we're not dating," she commented.

"What?" he asked causing the room to stare at him and he gave a weak smile to them feeling self conscious all at once.

"Hizuri-san?" an older actor asked as Kuon took shaky breaths

It's alright Kuon, he heard Cain tell him, Disappear for a while! Just leave! No one really loves you...even Kyoko has found someone else.

Kuon took a deep breath in before deciding to take a stroll round the garden in the moonlight to help conquer his feelings. Once out there he looked down knowing he couldn't call Kyoko and ask for an explanation, but what did it mean that she couldn't tell them that she and that man were not dating.

Meanwhile

"Alright," Kyoko smiled weakly as she stayed on the phone, "Thank you for hosting me again Fuwa-san, I'm sorry to ask for such an inconvenience. Oh, yes you're right it was Shou's fault...oh I wasn't that good," she laughed before noticing the person waiting before her with a message typed out on his cell phone, she ignored him and said goodbye to the okami-san of the ryokan.

Glancing back at the cell phone that Reino was holding she caught the message, 'Are we sharing a room?' and blinked. She had tried to stop this man from coming with her but once he knew that she was catching an evening train he seemed to be ready to go, forceful even.

"No," she said glaring at him, "We are not..." she watched as Reino started to type again into his phone.

'Why Fuwa's place anyway?" he asked before having a knowing smile as Kyoko got angrier.

"Because...because I'm friends with the owners," she said, it wasn't really a lie, the fact she hadn't spoken to them since leaving for Tokyo was the case but she hoped to reestablish good bonds with them. "Why do you have to come anyway? You know that I'm going down to see Kuon."

'Isn't he in a mad house?' Reino typed out as Kyoko growled

"Don't say that, it's a rehabilitation clinic," she replied through gritted teeth as Reino smiled at this.

'Do you not want people to know he's insane?' Reino asked with his phone as Kyoko quickly shook her head.

"Of course I don't," she said looking down as Reino grinned, rolling his eyes.

'This is my first time accompanying a girl on a trip' he told her, 'It's starting to get boring.'

"Good!" Kyoko snapped, "If you're bored you can leave!"

Reino blinked at this, 'I want Miroku to join us' he continued on the phone

Kyoko shook her head, "I don't, I don't want even you joining me, but I guess that it can't be helped," she sighed before looking at him, "What made you like this anyway? Don't you have some story or are you really a demon from hell. She paled nervously seeing the next words on the screen.

'like that night he joined us in the beginning' he typed as Kyoko nervously looked down, shaking and Reino sighed and pulled her closer to him

"Hey!" Kyoko barked, "Don't do that! People are going to think that we're in love!"

Reino looked at the phone before typing, 'Don't hate the baby just because it's mine' with that Kyoko could see an unexpected sadness in his eyes but didn't know where this came from, she paused and opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. What was this guy's story anyway?
