Ok, I am sorry for the 'no-show' from me. this weekend was busy, my sis had a recidal, my friend was in a play, my mom was coming home from another country, I'm still behind in a writing contest and I'm just tired, so I'm sorry for putting this off.

Anyway this is a Kyoko and Kuon chapter, no Yukihito and Kanae. The next one will be Yukihito and Kanae.

Kyoko had woken up like she had the day before. She was warm and did not want to move. She smiled and sighed.

'I wish all mornings were like this.' she thought. Then she had to pee really bad. 'Oh man. Now I have to get up.' she opened her eyes to stare into the face of a sleeping Kuon.

"Aah-" Kyoko clamped a hand over her mouth muffling her scream.

'Ren looks so handsome when he's asleep. I know his name is Kuon, but I think a part of me will always think of him as Tsuruga Ren.'

Kyoko did not move. She didn't realize she was watching Kuon sleep. She moved his bangs from his eyes and felt his chest move as he breathed.

Kyoko continued watching the man sleep peacefully. She barely realized she was laying half on him. She juts kept watching him. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. She could smell Kuon, she still liked it. She smiled and opened her eyes.

Her smile faded quickly seeing Kuon staring back at her.

Kuon smiled and moved his head kissing Kyoko easily. Kyoko lost her breath when she felt Kuon roll over on top of her.

Kyoko put her hand on Kuon's shoulder pushing him off for a moment.

"Kuon I can't breath!" she gasped. Kuon wasn't Kuon anymore. It was the emperor of the night.

Kuon leaned down and kissed Kyoko's cheek.

"Kuon?"

"Good morning," Kuon said lifting himself on one arm to not crush her under his weight.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Kyoko scrambled out of the bed quickly running to the bathroom.

Kuon fell back in the bed and covered his eyes with his hand.

'I thought I was still dreaming. This is not good.' Kuon got up and stared at the door. How was he going to explain himself?

Kuon heard the shower running and felt his heart skip a beat. He had to tell her he wasn't like Fuwa Shou. Somehow he had to make her understand that he really liked her, no, he loved her.

Kyoko and Kuon walked through the town awkwardly. It had been awkward ever since Kyoko had gotten out of the bathroom.

Kuon had suddenly said they were going out to eat breakfast. Kyoko wanted to cook again. She didn't like eating out all the time.

As they walked past restaurants looking for a place to eat breakfast Kyoko sighed.

"What's wrong?" Kuon asked.

"Well, I'm wondering what on earth the president wanted us to do while we were here."

Kuon stopped abruptly. "Oh?" he faced her.

"Yes." Kyoko said. "I am a little confused what the big deal is about honeymoons." She admitted. "The president sent us to a place where we can't get any work, hardly any place to go and no kitchen or tv. Just what was he expecting us to do these few days?"

Kuon rubbed the back of his neck. "Um..."

Kyoko blushed deeply. "No. He couldn't have! He didn't think that we... you... I... oh no!" Kyoko covered her mouth and blushed deeper. Kuon would have laughed and hugged her if she wasn't mortified.

"Well, we are married. There wasn't a ceremony or anything, but everything is legal according to the law."

"But still! For someone to think that you would do something like that is ridiculous!" Kyoko said.

Kuon blinked and stared at her. "Why?" he asked.

Kyoko was surprised by the simple question. "What?"

"Why is it ridiculous for me to 'do something like that'?" he asked. Though looking a little serious and confused he wasn't, and he was enjoying teasing the girl in front of him. Besides, it was a good way to lead into a conversation that might prove to be fruitful.

Kyoko, whose blush had started to dim before, began to blush a deep red. "Umm... because. You're my sempai."

"Not right now." Kuon said. "We're not working. Any other reasons?"

Kyoko thought a moment. "You're the biggest and best actor and model in Japan."

"You're a big actress yourself. Try again." he said starting to walk slowly.

Kyoko fell in step with the man, flustered by his questions. She said quickly. "Because you're wonderfully handsome and I'm an ordinary girl with no sex appeal."

Kuon laughed and Kyoko stopped in her tracks. Kuon was laughing at her. She glared at him. "Is something funny?" she asked dangerously.

Kuon smiled looking at her. He took her hand. "Yes. There is. It has been about four years since Shou said those things. He didn't know what he was saying." Kuon pulled the girl into a hug and he whispered. "I know he hurt you. I know the things he said hurt you."

'Because one of her love languages is words, she was hurt very deeply by what he said. When she felt she did bad she would come to me practically begging me to yell at her. New words need to fill her mind now.'

"If you repeat the things that pastime said about you," his smile caused Kyoko to flinch. "I will have to give you amnesia."

Kyoko gasped. "I'm sorry!" she said energetically.

"As for the words themselves, I will change your thoughts. If you were ordinary you would not be an actress, You're not a girl anymore, and as for sex appeal..." Kuon paused and Kyoko looked up at Kuon. He grinned. "I don't believe it." he leaned down and kissed her

'I don't believe it''I don't believe it''I don't believe it'. The words echoed in Kyoko's mind. She didn't feel Kuon's kiss. She didn't hear anything around her. All she could hear was: 'I don't believe it'

Kuon pulled away from her and Kyoko looked like she was in deep thought.

'I hope that's a good thing.' he thought and took her hand leading her into a restaurant.

Kuon ordered and watched Kyoko order obviously thinking of something else. He was glad, but she wasn't in the moment and he wanted her to come back to earth.

"Kyoko?" Kuon took her hand from across the table. She seemed to not hear him. He grinned and cleared his throat. "...a good idea. What do you think?"

Kyoko snapped her head up and hid a blush.

"Uh. Yes. Yes that sounds good."

"Then that's settled. It should make my job easier. I'm glad you agree."

"Oh. Um, yes." Kyoko smiled and Kuon could tell she was confused though she tried not to show it.

"It's a good thing you know where everything in my apartment is already. When we get back, we can both get back to work without having to deal with completely new surroundings."

Kyoko gaped at Kuon. What had happened while she was spacing out?

"Do you want to tell me everything one more time?" she asked. "Just so I'm sure I understand."

'And I must answer the same way.' she thought. 'So he doesn't know I wasn't listening to him.'

"Of course. I said we should move your things into my apartment when we get back. My guest room is being used as something else right now, but we can make it work."

Kyoko's mind raced, but her face was calm. "Of course we can." she said forcing a smile.

"I'm glad you agree. Do you have any jobs when we get back?" he asked.

"Only a few things. I have a movie shoot and something for a show, an interview, then an audition. Anything for you?"

They talked business for a while and Kuon was glad to see Kyoko beginning to relax and be herself again. At five pm they had to be taken to the plane.

'I have seven and a half hours before she has somewhere to run. Great, I sound the president or Yashiro.'

"Something wrong? Kyoko asked smiling.

"No." Kuon said. "I was just wondering how Yashiro is."

"I can't wait to see Moko-san again!" Kyoko sang.

Kuon and Kyoko walked through the hotel garden. About four fifteen pm they went to their room to pack.

"Kyoko,"

Kyoko turned around only to be pulled close to Kuon and finding herself being kissed. It only lasted a few seconds.

"I'm glad the president called me to sign the license." he said and walked past her getting his things together.

Kyoko was dazed a few minutes watching Kuon pack his things.

'What is wrong with me today? It's Kuon. It's not like I haven't spent time with him before. But then again, you have never woken up sleeping next to a man before. Why is this so confusing? What is going on?'

Kuon finished packing. Kyoko didn't move from the spot he left her at. He sat on the couch and mentally sighed. Then got an idea.

"Kyoko, when we get back the president is most likely going to have a huge party celebrating our marriage."

Kyoko looked up. "I wouldn't put it past him."

"Come here." he said patting the seat next to him. Kyoko sat next to Kuon.

"Yes?"

"Kyoko, if this information leaks out that we got married it will be a big headline. A lot of people will be watching us. We need to be careful how we act or don't act."

"What do you mean?"

Much to Kuon's delight she said exactly what he wanted her to. He leaned over and kissed her. Kyoko froze and Kuon grinned.

"That is what I mean. If you freeze like that Rumors will spread. Bad ones."

"That can't happen." Kyoko said. Kuon nodded.

"Like I said, we need to be careful." Kuon had to admit he was surprised when he felt Kyoko's hand behind his head and felt her lips on his.

'Is this right?' Kyoko wondered. 'Will I get an 'NG'? I hope I'm doing this right.' she moaned leaning into Kuon. 'If I'm not, I wonder how doing it right feels.'

When Kuon started kissing her back Kyoko felt odd. It was strange. She had never kissed someone and had them kiss back, or rather no one had kissed her and she kissed back... oh never mind. It was different. It made her heart beat fast and her face feel like it was glowing.

Kuon put a hand on Kyoko's waist pulling her closer to him. He needed to feel her. To touch her.

'And now I have no reason to hold back.' he thought.

Kyoko jumped when he touched her, but she liked it.

'Why do I like it? I feel like I'm glowing. What's happening?'

Much to Kuon's chagrin, the hotel phone rang. He cursed mentally and answered the phone.

"Hello?" Kuon kept himself from snapping at whoever had called.

"Sir, your driver is here." said whoever was at the front desk.

Kuon looked at his watch. The last time he checked it was four twenty. The time now was four fifty nine.

Kuon grinned stupidly realizing he had made out with Kyoko.

"We'll be right down."

"Yes sir."

Kuon hung up and looked at Kyoko who had run over to her suitcase. He leaned against the door frame watching her throw her things in her bag. He also saw the blush on her cheek.

"The car is out front to take us to the airport." he said.

Kyoko looked up. "Already? But it's only four..." she looked at her watch and cleared her throat. "I'm almost done."

Kuon and Kyoko had a private flight back to Tokyo. They sat next to each other quietly. Kyoko had hardly spoken since they stepped out of the hotel room.

"Kyoko?"

"Yes, Ren?" Kyoko looked over.

Kuon took her hand and kissed it. "I really am happy the president called me to sign the license." he said.

Kyoko looked out the window not changing her expression. But her thoughts were racing.

'Be careful, Ren, er, Kuon. I think I'm starting to believe you.'

Oh Kyoko (Author shakes head) will you ever understand? At least she's finally catching on. This story is a lot longer than I thought. Anyway I should be putting up Yukihito and Kanae pretty soon, I hope you liked the whole chapter of Ren and Kyoko. Until we meet again...
