AN: So...I know it's not Wednesday but I've been swamped with school work and resting a sprained ankle and just not feeling motivated to write this fic. I'm sorry I left you on such a cliffhanger.

Please continue to support me even though I made you wait for half a week

I also need to put this fic on a very short break because I've gone off on such a long tangent now that I don't know how to lead it back to the pregnancy.

Chapter Thirty Seven :: The "Dead"

"It's classified," the woman replied, "But we think he might be dead."

Kyoko's eyes widened as she put her hands on the desk, "Can you check again?" she asked tears in her eyes as she shook her head quickly trying to deny what she was being told. Is it because Corn is now lost? Would losing Corn kill Kuon? "Hizuri Kuon, are you sure? Can you check again?"

"We're still having doctors check to see if he is dead," the woman smiled at her weakly, "The prognosis isn't good."

"So is he in a coma? Is he breathing?" Kyoko panicked, "Can I see him?"

"He's not in a coma...at least we don't believe he is," the receptionist spoke in a mysterious manner. She looked down at the table and then picked up the phone to call right in front of Kyoko. Getting through to the doctor the woman asked a series of questions, "Are you with Ren right now?" she asked as Kyoko blinked, "Can you send him down Kuon has a visitor?...Yes I know it's past visiting hours but it's Kyoko-san...Thank you goodbye."

Kyoko stared at her weakly not knowing what was happening, was this a different Ren she was about to see, was she being teased again, had Kuon asked this to happen to get back at her. "Look,' she told the receptionist, "I'm pregnant and Kuon offered to raise the baby with me as my husband. If something..."

There was a moment of silence before Kyoko heard a familiar cough and looked around. Standing at the side of the front desk stood a doctor next to Kuon. "You idiot!" she screamed at him, "What is this? Some kind of joke!" She wiped away furiously at the tears that were in her eyes, "I love you so much" she sobbed, "when they told me you were dead."

"Mogami-san," Ren replied catching her off guard, "I'm not Kuon"

"You're..." Kyoko blinked, "I can see that you're Kuon! What are you talking about?"

"Kuon has vanished," Ren walked forward and bowed to her as Kyoko ached for his touch, his warmth, his protection. "He wasn't strong enough to continue to live with that rejection."

"Well I change my mind," she told him, "And stop talking about yourself in third person it hurts! If you aren't Kuon then who are you?"

"Mogami-san," Ren told her, "I'm afraid that the man who loved you, Hizuri Kuon, is gone. I am a character of his, the character of Tsuruga Ren."

"Ren?" Kyoko asked wide eyed, what was this had magical fairies taken Ren out of Kuon's body and made him a new one. Where was the guy that she loved?

"That's correct Mogami-san," he bowed, "I am a character. The real Kuon has been lost somewhere, I apologize for the pain that you must be feeling."

"But..." Kyoko felt her lip quiver, "You love me, you told me as Ren that you loved me."

"That was Kuon Hizuri speaking," he replied, "I am a bachelor character."

"Then change..." Kyoko walked over to him and tried to kiss him but he avoided her advancement, this hurt worse than Kuon being dead in some ways, few ways but still some. If she were to watch him moving around unable to love her then she didn't know what to do, it just seemed clear that it was his true self who had loved her and perhaps Ren had only been polite to her. "Come on marry me Ren," she said desperately thinking that if she was given enough time with Ren then Kuon would come back.

"Marry you?" Ren asked incredulously, "Mogami-san are you serious? Is this a job of the Love Me section to ask the men you respect to marry you?" he asked dead serious as Kyoko shook her head, tears appearing in her eyes.

"I wouldn't participate in saying this if it was that," she told him, "Whoever you are Cain, Ren, Kuon, Katsuki, I love you...I'd even love BJ."

"I don't know what to tell you Mogami-san," Ren replied to her as Kyoko blinked up, "I know of Hizuri Kuon's memories but I do not hold the same emotional attachment to those memories as he did." He looked at her and then at her stomach, "The press already knows that we're together so perhaps the best thing to do would be to say yes to marrying you."

"Because of public opinion?" Kyoko asked, she'd find Corn! Even if she had to search for weeks on end in dirty rivers she'd find the Corn stone and show him, that would bring Kuon back wouldn't it?

"Yes," Ren nodded, "Would that be acceptable Mogami-san?"

"Yes," Kyoko replied nervously, her voice turning sadder as she spoke, "I..." she shook her head forcing a smile onto her face, "Do you know when you can be released?"

"As long as he has a safe, guarded place to live and weekly therapy I think it would be better if he were with you,' the doctor told her, "Make sure to make plans with a therapist in Tokyo if you do decide to go back."

"Why would?" Kyoko blinked

"These doctors have already had words with the president of LME," Ren explained, "President Takarada has agreed to house me in a place where I will have security guards watch me. He feels that since a part of me died here and my condition has been worsening different methods are preferable. You could be part of that method if you wish."

"Yes," the Love Me member replied with a simple nod, "I want to be part of the method of bringing Kuon back to life!" she said the tears running down her face.

"Good to hear Kyoko," Lory said standing behind her as Kyoko looked around in shock surprised that he had come this far so fast. "Ren, you'll be coming back with me tonight to set up at your new house. I have requested the top security and will find you an institution if you can not control yourself from letting BJ come out, Cain Heel we can all deal with but BJ is a different story. Come with me once you've spoken with the doctor."

Ren nodded, bowed to him and Kyoko and returned to the room where he was to talk with the therapist/psychiatrist.

"I don't know what's wrong with that boy," Lory told Kyoko once they were alone. Kyoko nodded looking down with sad eyes at her belly. Was she engaged now? Well she'd check it over with Ren when she next saw him although her heart mourned Kuon.

End Chapter Thirty Seven

So very short but I hope that this makes the point, the next few chapters will have a KyokoXShou feel as he helps her look for her mother. I feel that if I go with my original plans this will end up KyokoXKuon but I'm not sure right at this moment which of the guys will get her.
