This is what happened with the Tsuruga's... Hizuris... oh whatever. Sorry it took so long. :P

"Then why do you love me?" Kyoko asked, her heart was beating fast. It was the question she really wanted the answer to.

"Because," Kuon said. "I want to." he said looking back at the light.

Kyoko's mind froze. I have to tell him. She thought. "I- I think... I ... I think I..." she started.

The car started moving and Kyoko swallowed hard and closed her eyes.

"I think I love you, Kuon." she said quickly.

Kyoko waited for a response, but she didn't get one. She felt the car lurch forward and next she was spinning so fast she was forced against the back of her seat. She tried to look at Kuon, but her eyes wouldn't open. She felt herself jerk, then, there was nothing.

Kyoko only saw black at first, then she was walking back near the brook near Kyoko.

"I recognize this place," she said.

"Of course you do."

"Who's there? Corn is that you?" Kyoko looked around, but it wasn't Corn's voice.

"You fell in love here," the voice continued.

Kyoko looked behind her, but there was no one.

"Even in the hardest times and deepest hurt, you never thought once that Corn ever stopped looking out for you, even loving you?"

"Stop!" Kyoko shouted.

"But you won't let yourself love a man who loves you. Why?"

"Who are you?" she shouted.

"You said you loved him, but do you really?"

"Stop it! I will protect Ren no matter what. He's special to me and if I married anyone I'm glad it was him. Don't you come and tell me anything about love you stupid voice. I know plenty!"

"You know nothing and he doesn't love you." the voice objected.

"I know that love is taking care of someone else, I know that it is being selfless, I know that it's putting someone else over yourself. It's caring for someone and having the best friend in the world." she glared up at the sky. "And I know that, like all friendships, it takes work to grow. Ren wouldn't give up on me if he really loved me and he hasn't. He's trying to make this work ever since the president sucked him into it," she glared at the trees. "So don't you dare say I don't know anything about love, Ren has shown me love in so many ways I can't even count them."

Can you hear a voice smirk? Kyoko wasn't sure. It just felt like the voice was smirking at her.

Kyoko had a flashback about the accident.

"Ren!" Kyoko sat up strait in bed and breathed quickly. She looked around. Where am I?

Someone ran in and felt her head.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The woman seemed to relax. "You scared us, Mrs Tsuruga, for no reason your pulse kept getting weaker."

Kyoko thought hard for a moment.

Mrs Tsuruga, Tsuruga-san, Tsuruga-san is Kuon, Kuon is...

"Ren!" she ripped wires out of her skin and ran out the door looking in the hall.

"Mrs Tsuruga!" the nurse ran out after her and Kyoko put her hands on the woman's shoulders.

"Where is he?" she looked worried. "Where?"

Demon 1 "Tell us!"

Demon 2 "Tell us where our beloved angry face is."

Demon 3 "I thought we didn't like the angry face?"

Demon 2 "But he's so evil and beautiful, what would we do without him?"

Demon 4 "You must tell us where he is!"

"Down the hall." the woman shuddered as she watched Kyoko run down the hall.

Kyoko looked for his name. She had to find him. She had to know he was alright.

'You're not allowed to die, Kuon.' she ran into the room and froze at the sight of Kuon lying on a hospital bed.

He had cuts on him, but the gown was making it hard to see the extent of his injuries. She walked over and touched his cheek with her hand. He was warm.

She looked for cuts on his face, but there were none that were bad. There was one cut beginning at his neck thought that crept under his clothes.

Worry overtook any thoughts as she hastily moved the gown off his chest. Kyoko examined the cut carefully. She ran her hand along the scab and watched the flesh flinch under her cold fingers. She swallowed hard and looked at the cut that went under his back. It was the worst one he had.

"Ren," she whispered, her lip quivering. "This is all my fault. If only I had dealt with the stalker myself, then we wouldn't have gotten married and you would have had to take me home." Kyoko pulled up a chair and leaned against the side of the bed and took Kuon's hand. Kyoko sniffed a little and caressed Kuon's hand with her thumb.

"If only you had to take me home," she said. "Then this wouldn't have happened." she stared at their hands and she put her head on the bed. She leaned her cheek close to his hand, he was warm, she wasn't cold, but it felt good.

"Oh Ren," Kyoko let tears drop from her face, she wasn't sobbing, just crying. "I wouldn't take it back. If being married means I get to spend more time with you..." she started crying again. "You're not allowed to be unconscious or in a coma!" she said forcefully. "Who would yell at me when I mess up? Who would put me in my place?" she paused. "Who would brighten my day by just showing up?" all this time her gaze had not left their clasped hands. If she had looked up she would have seen Kuon smiling down at her.

Kyoko felt Kuon's hand slip out of hers, and she felt him rest his hand on her head. She looked up and saw a beautiful, dazzling, blinding smile.

"I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon." he said.

Kyoko looked in his face and smiled widely. She jumped on the bed and threw her arms around his neck.

Kuon did not like the sudden weight put on his chest, but he ignored it. He couldn't avoid the fact that Kyoko had just willingly hugged him and was now draped across his bare chest.

He put his arm around her slim form and felt her cry.

"It's not your fault, you know." he said. "It was an accident."

"But..."

"There's no 'but' about it." he kissed her cheek softly. "I take it you're alright?" he chuckled.

Kyoko blushed realizing where exactly she was. She wiggled in his embrace. Kuon groaned.

"Don't move." he said.

Kyoko froze. "Did I hurt you?" she asked.

"Only if you move." Kuon said.

Kyoko stiffened up and Kuon sighed.

"At least relax, won't you?" he asked.

"Ah, yes," Kyoko relaxed and rested her cheek on his shoulder. She blushed realizing for the first time that she hadn't put his gown back on him and she was on his naked chest. (AN Really Kyoko? Really?) That alone usually would have made her jump away, but she didn't want to hurt him.

"Try to sleep." Kuon said. "I don't want you to leave."

Kyoko nodded and soon she was sleeping soundly. A doctor and two nurses burst in the room and moved closer to move the woman. Kuon glared.

"Don't touch her." he said.

They backed away and Kuon drifted into a peaceful slumber.

This is how Yukihito and Kanae found them five hours later. Changed in position slightly, but about the same.

Kuon opened his eyes and nodded a greeting to the couple that stood gaping in the doorway. He looked at Kyoko who still slept soundly then back at Yukihito.

"She's fine," he whispered.

"You look a little worse for wear." Yukihito whispered back.

"Just a couple scratches. We'll be able to get out today. Sign us out will you?"

Yukihito nodded and took Kanae's hand and walked out the door.

Kuon looked down at the sleeping Kyoko and smiled. She shook her lightly with one hand.

"You really should be getting up." he said. "We'll be leaving soon."

A guy nurse walked in the room of Tsuruga Ren and met with:

"GGGYYYYYYyyyayaaaaaaaa!"

Kyoko running to the other side of the room. He saw the woman taking gasps of air and smirked at the actor in bed.

"Your clothes are here," he placed them on the chair. "And Yashiro-san said to bring your wife's clothes to this room..." he looked over to the blushing Kyoko who was huddling in a corner by herself. "So here they are." he left quickly. It was a little awkward being in there.

Kuon stepped out of the bed and his loose hospital gown fell to the floor leaving him in his boxers. Poor Kyoko almost had a heart attack. Kuon had to admit he got an ego boost seeing the girl turn red as a tomato.

Kuon walked over and grabbed his clothes, he smirked and grabbed hers too. He walked over to her corner and held them out.

"Get dressed." he said. "We have work today." he put his pants on and turned his back to her. He heard her gasp. "Something wrong?" he was going to face her again when he felt a cool hand on his back. He closed his eyes at the touch.

'The things you do to me...'

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

"No," it was only a little lie. It didn't hurt much. He would still be able to work and that was good enough. He turned around and stared in her face he leaned down and whispered. "We're going to be late."

Kyoko jumped and put on her skirt then turned her back as she put on her bra and shirt under her gown. Kuon could only blink. What was the point in turning her back if she was dressing under her gown anyway?

She slipped the gown off and turned around.

"Tsu-Ku-Ren put your shirt on." she said.

Kuon put his shirt on carefully and stepped to the side. "Ready?" he asked.

Kyoko nodded.

They were in the hospital lobby when they met up with Yukihito and Kanae.

"Your car is totaled," Yukihito said. "I got you a rental, it's not a western car."

"That's fine." Kuon replied. He looked over at Kyoko and took her hand. "You sure you're alright?" he asked.

Kyoko nodded. "Just a couple bruises."

Kuon frowned and took her hand and examined it carefully. "Bruises can be worse than cuts."

"I'm fine." she insisted.

Kyoko didn't realize, though genuinely worried about her, Kuon had only examined her hand so he could hold it. He entwined his fingers in hers and Kyoko felt something in her arm. The sensation of being touched, the warmth, the energy. She smiled. She liked it.

Kuon gave her a look and Kyoko smiled tiredly back at him.

They walked out hand in hand and Kyoko jumped at how bright the sun was. It nearly blinded her. She blinked and realized her mistake.

It wasn't the sun that was too bright.

"Ren! What happened?"

"Did you really hit the pole on purpose?"

"Were you drinking?"

"Ren over here!"

"Ren what were you doing with Kyoko last night that you were out so late together?"

"Ren!"

"Tsuruga!"

"Ren!"

"Mogami!"

"Ren!"

Kyoko was swamped by the reporters questions. If she wasn't holding on the Kuon's hand she may have started turning in circles.

Kuon guided her to the car and opened the door for her. Before she got in Kuon couldn't resist the urge. He lifted her left hand to his lips giving the paparazzi a glace at the ring on Kyoko's finger.

'They'll have a great time with this.' he thought. But he didn't really care. It would just mean that people would know sooner that she was his.

Lory danced in his office. Sebastian wrote down in a notebook and ducked as the president of LME jumped over him. Everything was going according to plan.

"Now just one more step for each of them," he picked up the phone. "Maria, you've seen the news? ... good, I'm glad you're happy. Now how would you like to be an aunt?"

I wonder what happened to the stalker... but then again if I was a stalker and the girl married Tsuruga Ren I'd back off...for a while. :)

I hope you like the last part with Lory, and look! I'm even bringing in Maria. Don't worry, I'm bringing in new characters soon... Hey if Ren and Kyoko have a kid, what should its name be? and should it be a boy or a girl.. or both? he heh.

Sorry again that I took a while. I almost ran out of ideas on how to continue. I know where I want to go, it's just a matter of making it end up there.

Thanks for reading. I hope, if you're following, that you are enjoying yourself every time you read. -G2L
