Chapter Two: When Two Love Struck Idiots Realize the Obvious

Kyoko's eyes fluttered open as she awakened to a massive headache. She slowly tried to sit up and kept her hand up to shield her eyes from the small rays of sunlight peeping through her blinds.

"Did I really drink that much?"

Kyoko put on her robe, steadily made her way to her door, and shuffled out of the room. She first grabbed some aspirin from the bathroom and then continued down the hall.

As she approached her kitchen she could smell something beginning to burn and rushed, not wanting the fire alarm to go off. She froze though, when she reached the kitchen. Standing in front of her stove was Tsuruga Ren, looking quite frustrated with whatever he was trying to make in the big pot. Kyoko giggled when he sighed, took the pot off the burner, and turned the stove off. She assumed that he had ruined what he was trying to make.

"Ren-san, what are you doing here?" she asked.

Ren turned to see Kyoko holding one hand to her head with a small smile on her lips.

"Kotanami-san asked me to check on you last night, and I knew that you were having trouble with a scene, so I agreed. When I came over you had been drinking. I helped you get into bed, then figured you might of needed some help in the morning or may just like the company and slept on the couch." Ren explained.

Kyoko blushed realizing now that Ren was seeing her in her robe and for all that he had done for her.

"I appreciate your help, but you didn't have to." Kyoko said.

"I know. I wanted to help." Ren told her.

There was no use in hiding his feelings now….it's not like he was going to tell her, but he wasn't going to do nothing either.

Kyoko glanced at the clock above her stove and gasped. "Oh no! We are going to be so late!" she exclaimed in a panic.

Ren shook his head. "Kyoko-chan, don't you remember? The director gave you the day off to straighten out your scene and I can't do most of my scenes without you." Ren said.

"What about your other jobs?" asked Kyoko.

"I was suppose to film for 'Why do I Love Thee' all day today, but since that was canceled I have the day off." Ren said.

"I'm sorry for causing such an inconvenience." Kyoko apologized.

"Kyoko-chan, it's ok. I do love my job, but I'm thankful for a day every once in a while." Ren said.

Kyoko nodded.

Ren turned back around and dumped his failed soup down the drain. After washing the pot and putting it up Ren turned to Kyoko, who sure enough was still watching him get around the kitchen.

"So do you remember anything from last night?" asked Ren.

"Only a little bit. Did I do or say anything embaressing?" wondered Kyoko.

"It would depend on what you think embaressing is. You might remember if you look at your hands." Ren said.

Kyoko put her hands out confused, and then flipped them over. Suddenly a wave of embaressing confessions came back and she remembered most of what she had told Ren. Ren watched as her face grew a very dark shade of red.

"And….and I didn't tell you his name right?" Kyoko wanted to make sure.

"No, but you promised to tell me today, so why don't you show me the right hand." he said walking towards her.

Kyoko shook her head. "It was a mistake to say I would tell you." she said.

She could see the pain and anger in Ren's eyes and only wondered why he wanted to know.

"Why can't you show me? I'm not going to get mad because you …love somebody." Ren said.

"Maybe no, but you will be repulsed and it would only ruin our friendship." Kyoko told him while backing up into the living room.

"Why would it repulse me? Is it someone I know?" Ren asked.

"Um….I guess you kind of know them…" Kyoko said timidly.

"I can't tell him any more than that!"

Kyoko soon realized she had hit the side of the couch and Ren caught up in a flash.

He leaned forward and whispered in Kyoko's ear "I promise you there is nothing to be afraid of. The only thing you should be worried about is how it will pain me."

Kyoko shivered at the sound of his voice, but didn't understand what he had said.

"Please, show me." pleaded Ren.

Kyoko shook her head and tears began to fall. Ren was surprised, but gently wiped her tears away. "Kyoko, I don't understand why you are making such a big deal out of this. I'm telling you, everything will be fine. Just, please, I have to know." Ren whispered the last part.

Kyoko couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't like she could hide it forever. "Fine." She said, tears bubbling up again.

Ren first wiped away her tears again. Kyoko leaned back onto the armrest and unclenched her hand. "Be prepared, for the worst day of your life…"

Ren gently lifted the hand she had been clenching, knowing it was the right one. He brought it up and uncurled her fingers.

There in faded black marker was one of the last names he was expecting to see, it made every puzzle piece fit, every gear work, it solved the mystery, and it made Ren's heart fly above the clouds. Ren was speechless. How could he have been so blind?! Heck, he had been as dense as her! His mouth slowly closed and Kyoko closed her eyes ready for everything, yet not. Instead she felt Ren jerk her to him and hold her in a tight embrace that made her heart beat faster. Kyoko looked up to see a single tear dripping down the smiling actor's cheek.

"He's crying?"

Kyoko was confused and unsure of what was happening. Didn't her hand have his name on it? Shouldn't he be mad, repulsed, or even just turn her down?

Ren opened his eyes and saw the confused look on Kyoko's face. He kept his smile on and because he was at a loss of words he did the first thing that came to mind. He wrapped his arms around Kyoko's waist and leaned down meeting her lips with his.

"He…Ren is kissing me?!"

This was the last thing that Kyoko was expecting, but she soon gave into the soft and pleasurable feeling of his lips against hers and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into the kiss. When they parted for air Kyoko was blushing and had no clue what to say. Seeing the gears in her mind trying to work, Ren chuckled and rested his forehead against hers.

"Kyoko, I don't think you know how wrong you were last night."

Kyoko looked pained for a moment. Was he just teasing her? Did he not believe how much she loved him?

But then he continued. "You are the best actress out there, no matter what you say, you are as beautiful as the stars that shine in the night sky, you may be younger than me, but there are couples with greater distance and 4 years isn't really that long. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. I don't think I could have found a better person…"

Ren paused and lightly kissed the dazed Kyoko.

"...to have fallen so madly in love with." he whispered against her lips.

Kyoko's mind finally understood and she had the sudden urge to smack herself for all those times she didn't notice. She was so sure that Tsuruga Ren could never love her that she had blocked out his feelings, his smiles, and how he always treated her special.

Ren saw realization in her eyes and kissed her again, this time more passionately. Kyoko gladly responded, bringing her body as close to Ren as possible. Ren walked them over to the couch without breaking the kiss and the two then fell onto it, their hearts threatening to jump out of their chests.

"I love you, Kyoko." Ren said.

"I love you too, Ren. I meant everything I said last night." Kyoko replied.

Ren felt like nothing else mattered after hearing that she truly did love him as much as she had told him the other night. Ren's desire began to get the better of him as an emperor, made up of all his love and passion for Kyoko, appeared. His hand slid up her thigh and to where her robe was tied. He carefully untied her robe and opened it. Ren and Kyoko broke apart, and Kyoko sat up slightly to shake her robe off her shoulders. Ren paused for a moment, seeing that she was still wearing the revealing cloths from the night before, and then captured her lips again, this time exploring her mouth with his tongue. Kyoko was surprised for a moment, but then allowed him to play with her own.

"You lips are so addicting…" he said in between some of their many kisses.

Kyoko smiled against his lips. "I could say the same about you." she replied.

Ren groaned as Kyoko ran her hand to the back of his head and pulled him in for another kiss. Ren decided to get her back, so he slowly slid his hand under her camisole and up her side. This earned Ren a moan from Kyoko. Wanting to hear more of her arousing sounds, Ren trailed kisses down Kyoko's neck. Kyoko moaned louder this time, and Ren's pants felt even tighter. It wasn't until Kyoko wrapped her legs around Ren, that he realized what they were doing.

He knew where they were heading and then a thought accrued. "Shit! This is Kyoko we're talking about; she isn't going to have that."

Ren pulled away some and cursed under his breath.

"What's wrong Ren?" Kyoko asked hoping he had not changed his mind.

Of course she knew what was happening, and understood what was going to happen if they kept it up. In all honesty she had wanted him for a while. Love does cause at least some arousal, especially when the person you love happens to be Japan's sexiest bachelor.

Ren looked at Kyoko and sighed. "I'm afraid, my love, that we have to stop here." he told her.

Kyoko made a bit of a pouty face, and Ren couldn't help but chuckle.

She then pulled herself up to Ren and whispered in the most seductive way she could "Do we really have to stop?" Ren moaned but pushed Kyoko away.

"This woman….Keep a grip, just explain it to her and then go take a nice cold shower."

"Kyoko, it's not that I want to stop. It's just that…" Ren looked away for a moment."It's been a while and I don't have any… protection."

Kyoko understood now. "Oh…..OH! That's why we have to stop!" Kyoko's face turned a shade of pink.

"I'm sure that you don't have anything on you, and I wouldn't think that you are on the pill." Ren finished, looking at Kyoko, and Kyoko shook her head.

"I figured…" Ren said.

He sat up and Kyoko slid her robe back on, also disappointed.

"Do you mind if I take a shower?" Ren asked.

"Not at all. The towels are in the cabinet under the sink." Kyoko told him.

Ren placed a kiss on Kyoko's cheek, and then stood up to head for the shower. It was then when Kyoko decided that she wanted the last…word? She stood up and stopped Ren. He looked at her curiously and she then placed a kiss on his cheek.

"I'll make an appointment as soon as I can." Kyoko told him.

"That sounds good to me." Ren said seductively, without realizing it.

Kyoko blushed and watched him disappear into the bathroom. She was upset that Ren could affect her so easily, but loved it at the same time.

Ren stepped into the shower and shivered. He had hoped that the cold shower would work, but his manhood was still rock hard. He knew he couldn't be around Kyoko like that and decided he would just have to take care of it, no matter how embarrassing it may be. He turned the water to warm and moaned as he wrapped his hand around his erection. He slid his hand up and down, as he thought of the object of his affection. Her smooth skin, her delectable lips, her perky breasts, and her moans of pleasure. He pumped faster, as he began to think of how it must feel to be with her, and found himself getting closer.

"Mmh…Kyoko." Ren groaned as he begin to climax.

He came and found himself lightly panting. His white seed dripped down his manhood and Ren immediately turned the water back to cold. He washed himself down and washed his hair, before stepping out of the shower.

Kyoko had been watching TV when Ren came out of the bathroom, wearing his black slacks and a towel around his neck. She stared and blushed for a moment before walking up to him. She grabbed the towel around his neck and put it around his shoulders, so it was covering his chest.

"There, that's better." she said.

Ren chuckled. "Am I really that irresistible?" he playfully asked.

Kyoko blushed and turned away from him. "Of course! You are, after all, Japan's sexist bachelor." she said.

Ren wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Oh, but I'm not a bachelor anymore." he said.

Kyoko pulled away. She headed towards the bathroom, but then turned her head "You better not be." and then quickly made her way to the bathroom.

Ren smirked at her reply and then grabbed his bag, that was by the door. He had gone back to his apartment, while Kyoko was asleep, and grabbed a couple changes of clothes. He took out a dark blue button up dress shirt out and slipped it on. He had only not taken it to the bathroom with him, because he wanted to see Kyoko's reaction when he got out.

Kyoko stepped inside the shower, the feeling of the warm water causing her to hum. She was highly disappointed in her and Ren's interruption, even if she wouldn't admit it. She still felt his warm hands were he had touched her, her lips felt cold from the loss of his kisses, and his kiss still lingered on her cheek. The things that man could do to her! Before she knew it she found her hand sliding down her slim body while trying to think of him. That's when she stopped. It was much to embaressing for her to do that. What if Ren heard her? Yet her desire for him overwhelmed her senses.

She put her finger to her most sacred place and began to massage her clit. Immediately her cheeks were tinted pink and her thighs closed on her hand. She brought her other hand up to her left breast and cupped it. She teased her nipple, and the pinched it hard.

"Ah!" she cried out, hoping the shower was loud enough to drown it out. Her fingers on her clit slip lower and she slipped one inside herself.

"Ren!" she was imagining it to be him playing with her body.

"Kyoko, are you ok?" she heard.

"Oh no, he heard me!" Kyoko immediately stopped and cleared her voice.

"I-I'm fine, Ren." Kyoko hoped that was good enough for Ren.

Ren was passing the bathroom to go put his bag in Kyoko's room, when he thought he heard Kyoko.

"Ah!" Ren stopped and looked in the direction of the muffled sound.

"Is she ok?" Panic spread through Ren.

He was about to knock when he heard something more.

"Ren!" Ren's eyes widened and he prayed that Kyoko just needed something for her shower.

"Oh god, that was not a yell for help. I guess she was pretty eager earlier too."

With that a smirk spread across Ren's face.

"Kyoko are you ok?" Ren asked.

"I-I'm fine, Ren." he could hear the embarrassment in her voice.

"I'll let her go this time, but next time I'll show her no mercy."

"Alright then." Ren replied.

Kyoko was relieved that Ren didn't notice and decided it was too dangerous to continue. She washed her hair and body, before stepping out of the shower. After wrapping a towel around her body she quickly made her way to her room to get dressed.

She dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, a long sleeve dark blue sweater that showed her shoulders, and her Princess Rosa necklace.

When Kyoko stepped into the living room Ren couldn't help but stare. The outfit complemented her curves, yet was modest.

"You look wonderful." Ren said before Kyoko could ask.

"Thanks." Kyoko blushed and sat next to Ren on the couch.

"Not to mention that we match." Ren added.

Kyoko looked at what Ren was wearing and saw that they were in fact matching.

"So, what should we do?" Kyoko asked.

"Well we could stay here and watch movies, or we could go out on our first date." Ren smiled.

Kyoko looked at Ren. "I like the idea of going out, but where would we go?" she asked.

"We could always go to the park, a movie, anything is fine really." Ren told her.

Kyoko looked up as if trying to think. "How about we go to the park for a bit?" Kyoko suggested.

"Fine with me." Ren said.

"Wait a minute! If we go out everyone is going to recognize you!" said Kyoko.

"I'll wear a disguise, so don't worry. Now, what about you?" Ren asked.

Kyoko may have denied how famous she was, but she knew that more and more people had been recognizing her lately.

"I have a wig and contacts from Moko-san. She insisted that I needed to keep a disguise for when I go out." Kyoko explained.

"Since its already 4:00, let's go ahead and get ready." said Ren.

Kyoko nodded in agreement. While Kyoko went to go put her wig on Ren went into the bathroom.

"Well I'm going to have to tell her soon, at least for now I can have her."

Ren removed his contacts and put them in the case he carries just in case. He then looked into the mirror and saw his deep green eyes staring back at him.

"Does this look ok?" he heard a voice say.

Ren turned to see Kyoko standing at the bathroom entrance. She was wearing a very curly short blond wig, and had blue eyes instead of her rare golden color. Her lips were coated with pink lip gloss, her cheeks were rosy, and she had applied a small amount of blue eye shadow.

Ren couldn't help from saying "You look adorable, but sexy."

Kyoko blushed at her boyfriend's words. "Boyfriend? ….That's right Tsuruga Ren is my…boyfriend." Kyoko giggled at the thought.

She looked up at Ren who was smiling down at her and noticed his eye color.

"Did you put contacts in?" she asked then wanting to smack herself for asking such an obvious question.

"Actually, this is my real eye color." Ren told her.

Kyoko looked surprised, but then remembered that he had once said Tsuruga Ren was just a stage name.

"I hope that he will tell me his past. It seems to trouble him a lot and I want to be there for him."

"They're very pretty." Kyoko said thinking that they reminded her of somthing.

Ren had changed into black jeans, kept the same dark blue shirt, put on his black fedora, then he slipped on some black tennis shoes to complete his outfit. Kyoko was waiting by the door when Ren came out and smiled.

"You really do look American like that." she giggled.

"If you only knew."

"Isn't that what we were looking for?" asked Ren.

Kyoko nodded. They had agreed to act as Americans and speak in English, so that if anyone thought they recognized them they would soon dismiss it.

Ren met Kyoko at the door and held his arm out.

"Are you ready to go, Christine?" he asked in fluent English.

Kyoko smiled and took his arm. "Yes, let's go now, James."

Author's Notes: So this chapter was a bit longer and I'm glad to get it out.
