Chapter 13: Fun things always happen at Ren's place

Ren and Kyoko arrived at his place and they quickly made their way up to his floor. He opened the door for her and closed it behind him. He locked it. (Hey, he has Kyoko with him and crazy fans out there...he's not taking chances.) Kyoko had already taken her shoes off and was in the kitchen pulling out ingredients that were still good and everything else that she might need.

He stood in the doorway and just watched her work for a while. She started when she caught him looking at her. "Corn! How long have you been there? Why are you there?"

He gave her a soft smile and took his jacket off, and took her's too. He hung them up in the hall closest and then went back to the kitchen. She was fixing chicken breast with rice, beans, rolls, and corn.

He walked up behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist. She jumped but relaxed. He kissed her neck and said, "I like watching you cook. For some reason it makes me calm and happy." She tilted her head up and kissed his chin. "I'm glad Kuon."

There was a knock on the door and Ren looked through the peephole before opening the door. "Hello Yuki-san." Yuki, the doorman, stood there with a week's worth a mail for Ren. "Hello Ren-san. Heard you have been having an interesting week." Ren chuckled, "Interesting would be putting it mildly."

Kyoko walked over wiping her hands on the towel. "Yuki-san!" "Kyoko-san, pleasure as always seeing you here." Yuki smiled and bowed to her. He turned to Ren and said, "I just came by to drop off your mail and to say hi." Ren took the mail, "Thank you Yuki-san." "You're welcome." He turned and walked away. Ren shut the door and locked it again.

Kyoko went back to the kitchen and he sat down at the table. He started sorting thru the huge pile that had accumulated over the past week. "Bill...bill...trash...magazine...bill...bill... What the hell are you? Trash. Bill...recycle...another magazine...wrong address...no wait." He double checked the name on the envelop and chuckled. "Kyoko...you got mail."

She walked over to him and sat in his lap, "I do?" He held up the envelope that had her name but his address. She took it, "Huh, that's weird." He looked at the return address and chuckled. "Boss..." She opened it up.

Mogami Kyoko;

Hello! I see you and Ren finally made a run from the hotel. That is the only way you would have been able to get this letter. I am including an invitation for you and Ren with this letter.

It is an invitation to the party that the president of Armandy is hosting in three weeks time. He really wants you to come. So, he sent you an invitation.

Please think about it and let Yashiro-san know of your decision so that he can make the proper arrangements.

Thank you and you two love birds enjoy your day off.

Lory.

Kyoko looked at Ren as she pulled out two invitations. He looked at them and asked, "So Kyoko, will you go with me to the party?" She nodded. He kissed her and helped her up. "Great. You go finish up making lunch. We know if I attempt to even touch it I will ruin it. I will go call Yashiro and inform him of our decision." She nodded and headed back to the kitchen. He pulled his phone out and dialed Yashiro's number.

"Hello, Yashiro?...Yes Kyoko is with me and yes we are fine. We are currently having lunch at my place... HOW THE HELL DID YOU JUMP TO THAT CONCLUSION YOU ASS?" He took a deep breath and continued, "I am calling to inform you that Kyoko and I will be attending the Armandy party that is being held on the 25th of next month...Yes I have the invitations right in front of me. ...Of course I will put them in my safe right now so I don't lose them. Please make the proper arrangement. ...What? Another one? Yes we will be back tonight so you can show us then or leave it for us to look at in the room. Thank you Yashiro-san." He hung up the phone and set on the countertop next to his wallet and Kyoko's purse and phone.

He walked into the kitchen right as she was putting food on the plates. He kissed her cheek as he walked past to grab to bottles of water for them. "So what made you yell at Yashiro-san?" He groaned and laid his head on the table. "He said something about us wanting more privacy to 'Get to know' each other better." She took a bite of her food as she blushed. He smirked when he saw her blush. "I can get to know you better later." She threw her roll at him. He caught it. "What is up with you and throwing rolls?" He chuckled out as he replaced it on her plate. She sent him a light glare. "What is he supposed to leave in the hotel room?" "Apparently we have another drama offer, both of us do. Together. I honestly don't think I will have time to do another drama seeing has how I already have three new ones starting up in the next month and my contract with Armandy won't be up for renewal for another seven months."

"How long have you been a model Ren?" He thought for a moment. "About as long as I have been an actor. I was in a meeting with the Boss when the President of Armandy walked in and said that they needed a fill in. Boss turned to me and said that I could do it. The president looked skeptical. But after my first shoot, he went to the Boss with an offer and they drew up a contract which I accepted."

"I remember when you were teaching me to model, you said that you were taught by the most beautiful woman that you knew. Did you mean mother?" He nodded. "I grew up watching the way mom and dad walked so I tried to copy them. Mom realized what I was doing and taught me how to walk more comfortably."

"Do you prefer acting over modeling or vice versa?" "I like both the same. If I have a good partner to act against, like you, that makes filming fun. Just like when taking photos, I have worked with the same photographers now for three years, I know how they want me to move and when I should move to make the pictures come out just right."

"If you had to choose, which one would you?" She asked as she scooted her chair next to him. He moved his now empty plate to the center of the table and laid his head down on his arms. He looked at her and said, "I truly don't know Kyoko. I love them both and want to do both for as long as I can. Why are you asking?" She laid her head down on his arms, and looked at him, "Because, I don't know if I could ever be a model."

He chuckled and pulled her into his lap facing him. "Kyoko, you have the makings of a great actress and model. You could do both if you wanted to. Hell, I think that stunt that we pulled at the awards ceremony got the attention of the President. In the four years that I have known him, not once has he ever invited an outsider to one of his parties. We models can bring dates, but not once has he ever sent out a special invitation. He wants to meet you love."

Just then a yawn escaped from Kyoko's lips. She blushed and covered her mouth. He blinked at her and chuckled. "Come on, you can go lay down in my bed. I'll clean up."

"I can't do that-" He cut her off with a glace. "Go Kyoko. You cooked lunch, let me clean up. You can sleep in my bed because hey, we have been sharing a bed for the past week and we did more than share a bed last night." He kissed the corner of her mouth, "Please go, I will join you in...five minutes." She caved in and walked toward his room. He turned and started cleaning up the kitchen.

It took him six minutes.

He walked in to his room and set their phones on his dresser. He noticed that she was already under the covers sleeping. He smiled and took his shirt off before he joined her in bed.

He got in and wrapped an arm around her waist. He noticed something different. He lifted the sheet up. sure enough, she wasn't wearing her skirt and he noticed she was wearing what he had dubbed 'Setsu's underwear.' She had also changed into one of his shirts.

He pulled her to him and breathed into her ear, "Kyoko-chan...you are driving me crazy right now." She let out a soft moan and shuffled back into him more. He gasped and placed a hand on her hip as he ground against her. "Defiantly, driving me crazy." She moaned and grabbed a fist full of the sheets.

"You still awake love?" She lifted her head to look at him blearily. "I am now." He kissed and rubbed against her. "Sorry.. Can't help myself." She smiled and took one of his hands in hers. He kissed her neck and moved his other hand to outer edges of her panties. She ground against his hand and he slipped it underneath. "God Kyoko,"

He groaned as he rolled on top of her. He lifted his hands and undid the shirt she was wearing. "No bra? Did you plan on this?" She smiled and pulled him down for a kiss. "Now you get it."

KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR

They laid there breathing heavy and covered in sweat. Ren laid his head next to hers and made to get off of her but she just wrapped her arm around his back and held him to her.

He pulled her to him and rolled over onto his side. He placed his arm around her shoulder and another around her waist. She laid her head on his chest and sighed. "Your bed really is comfortable." He kissed her hair, "You have an open invitation to join me in bed whenever you want to love." He yawned and pulled her into his side. "As far as I'm concerned you can share my bed" he yawned again and laid his head down next to hers on his pillow, "..for...the rest..." he eyes closed and his voice got softer, " of...our...lives..." he let out a small snore.

Kyoko stared at him. 'What?!'

KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKDKR

Ren rolled over and stretched his arm out. He moved it around but nothing was there. He blinked and lifted his head. "Kyoko?" he mumbled. She wasn't in bed. He placed his hand in that spot that she was in and noticed that it was still warm.

He sighed and got out bed. He looked around for his pants and found his clothes folded on the dresser top. He smiled as he got dressed. He had just buckled his pants when he heard a scream. He paled and ran out the room.

He skidded to a halt when he saw Kyoko on her knees staring into the guest bedroom. He knelt next to her and looked inside the room.

He blinked once. He blinked twice. Hell, he blinked a third time before he scooped Kyoko up into his arms and sat her on the couch before he grabbed her cell and dialed the president.

"Hello...Mogami-kun?" Ren glared at the phone then said in a deadly calm voice.

"Mind telling me why all of my girlfriend's things are at my place Boss? And you better have one hell of a good excuse."

"...hello Kuon... um...we moved her things there because we thought that it would be safer for her?"

"And when did you decide this? Who is we? Why did nobody consult with either me of Kyoko?"

"Um...It is your father, Kizu-san and my idea. I mean, you were headed toward this anyway...weren't you?"

"Gather your partners in crime and you three get your asses over here now." He hung up before Lory could respond. He sighed and sat down next to Kyoko who was staring blankly ahead at the TV.

"Kyoko?" No response. "Kyoko?" Not even a twitch or a blink. He thought for a second.

"Setsu! Nii-san is hungry. Feed me please... If you don't, nii-san will just have meal that consists of cigarettes and coffee again. oomph."

He was surprised when she tackled him the couch and laid on top of him clinging to his still unbuttoned shirt. "Why?" She asked. "Why is all of my stuff here?" He sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist and back holding her to him while he leaned his head on the armrest. "I don't know the whole reason, but Boss and our fathers are on their way. Oh no...don't tell me they already changed your address. That explains how the latter addressed to you was able to be delivered here..."

"Can we kill them?" He chuckled. "Pretty sure that's illegal no matter where you are."

He looked up at the ceiling and said in a thoughtful voice, "Boss said they moved your stuff here because it would be safer for you. I agree that the building does have security measures and would be good for you... They did put your things in the guest bedroom, which if I am honest, is practically yours anyway."

She looked up at him and he explained. "You are the only person who has slept in that room and I have had this place for four years. The kitchen was never used much until you came, and hell...I see the kitchen as your area and if you did live here I know I would eat more regularly..."

He looked at her and said in a thoughtful voice, "I know it's a little fast...okay...very fast to ask this but... would you agree to move in with me?"

KRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKRKR

She stared at him for a few seconds and he started sweating cold bullets. "Um...nervous over here Kyoko..." She blinked a couple times. " You're not asking because my stuff is already here are you?" He shook his head. "No, I actually want you here. I just planned on waiting a few months before asking you to move in with me."

"So you were already planning on asking me to move in with you?" Ren looked at her and said quietly, "Kyoko, I am in this relationship for the long haul. Do you understand what that means?" She stared at him in confusion, he elaborated. "I fell for you when I was ten. It took ten years to find you and almost two years for you to fall for me. Kyoko, I never want to let you go now that I have you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you as my wife someday. I want us to maybe have a family together someday. I just want you in my life. I never want to be apart from you again. That is what I mean when I say that I am in this relationship for the long haul."

Kyoko stared at him with tear filled eyes. She smiled as she leaned forward and kissed him gently. He blinked. She leaned back and sat up in his lap. "Okay, I'll move in with you."

She got off and walked to the kitchen to make them a light snack. She paused in the doorway and turned to him, "You know, you could have just proposed right then saying what you just said, and I would have said yes." She smirked as she saw him gap at her. "Food time."

He stared at her as she moved about the kitchen. 'Did she just?...I could have...Was she serious?...Ooh my head hurts.'

He sat down on the couch and placed his head in his hands. He jerked when he heard the doorbell. He sighed and got up. He opened the door and admitted Lory, Kuu, Kizu and Yashiro into his apartment.

"You can sit on the couch." He walked into the kitchen and rested his head on Kyoko shoulder. "You and I are going to have a talk after they leave. Alright?" He asked as he turned her around and kissed her. She smiled up at him and nodded in agreement. she picked up a tray that consisted of cheese, crackers, mixed fruit, and a dip. She set it on the kitchen table and then turned to the men that were in the Living room. "You may come to the Kitchen for a light snack while we have our...discussion." Ren smirked as he set the drinks on the table.

They all sat around the table, Lory spoke up and said, "Now Kuon, Kyoko-san, may I remind you that it is illegal to kill somebody."

Ren and Kyoko just smiled at him and said as one, "We don't want to kill you. We want to thank you." Ren turned to Kizu and said, "Since you helped move your daughter's things to my place I guess that is your way of saying that you approve and don't mind that your daughter is sleeping with me."

Kizu blinked, glared at him, and then lunged across the table at him. Kuu grabbed him and held him down while Ren glared at him. "You have no right to complain because we wouldn't be in this situation if you old geezers hadn't acted without our consent. Thankfully she has agreed to live here willingly. I had planned to ask her in a few months but you three forced my hand." He turned back to Kizu and said, "You knew that it would have happened eventually. So deal with it."

"You hurt her Kuon.. I will rip you apart limb from limb." Kizu growled at him. Ren looked at him and said, "If I ever hurt her, I will feed myself to pack of hungry wolves. Which is more painful?"

Kyoko sat there next to Yashiro and said to him, "I really don't understand why Otou-san is being so protective of me." Yashiro smiled down at her and said, "Most fathers are protective of their daughters." "Okay, I get that, but he knows Kuon would never hurt me." "I don't know Kyoko, maybe he doesn't want to lose you so soon after he just found you?"

Ren heard and looked at Kizu. "Is that why you have been acting so overprotective and why you have been against this relationship since last light? You think that I am going to take Kyoko away from you?"

Kizu glared at him, "We all know where this relationship is headed. When you two marry, she won't need me."

Kyoko blushed and Ren raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I have no intention of taking her away from you or Minato. You two are her family. You are friends with my dad and Minato is marrying my sister, think on that Kizu, and I want to marry your daughter sometime down the road. Our families our being tied together. You really think that I would be able to keep Kyoko away from you? Not possible."

Lory, Kuu, Yashiro and Kizu turned to Kyoko. "You didn't blush when Ren said that he wanted to marry you someday." Yashiro noted. She nodded. "I know. I found out ten minutes before you all arrive."

Lory squealed and Kuu had a big ass grin on his face. "When's the wedding!?" They both asked. Ren turned to a glaring Kizu and sighed, "I haven't proposed yet."

"Though I still say that what you said earlier was perfect." Ren looked down at her, "Really now?" "Really really. If you had asked me then I would have said yes." She said as she held his hand.

Lory, Kuu and Yashiro were holding back little squeals of excitement. Kizu was sulking in a cornor growing mushrooms.

"So if I had actually asked you to marry me then you would have said yes?" "Yes. How many times do I have to say it. I would have said yes." "Even though I didn't plan to nor did I take you out to fancy restaurant or pull any of those clichés." She grabbed his cheeks and pulled his face down level with hers. "I would have said yes because I knew that you spoke from the heart and meant every word. I would have said yes because I was agreeing with you. I don't need a fancy restaurant for you to propose to me in. I just need you."

He smiled and kissed her.

"Oh God! Just propose already or cut the mushy crap out."

They broke the kiss and chuckled when they saw Kizu being tackled by the other three. "Never a dull moment around those three is there?"

{{{{{{A/N: Okay… I think I might have made a mistake in here, small one, hardly noticeable. NOT SURE. I honestly don't know if I have been spelling Ren's real name right.

Is it spelt 'Koun' or 'Kuon'?

I mean…it would make more sense for it to be Kuon for him to have half of Kuu's name in it…But…I don't know.

Forgive me for switching back and forth between both spellings. I litteraly just looked it up while proof reading this chapter and it shows that it is Kuon. But some chapters in the Manga have it the other way.

So if I flip between both spellings… I don't care. Ren is still the same and he will be made fun in the next chapter.

OH! Would you like a preview? :-P }}}}}

Chapter 14 preview: MOTHER!

Everyone stared as Tsuruga Ren and Mogami Kyoko walked in the front doors of LME with their arms wrapped around each other. Heads Followed their movement as they continued walking toward the staircase. "Hey Peanut Hold on!"…..

"You know, the last time Kuon was in time out, he was four years old and I had…" Ren clamped a hand over her mouth and said in a hard voice, "Do Not even think of telling her that story Mother."

"Julie, what did you do to Kuon at age four"…..

"AUNT JULIE! I FOUND THE PICTURE THAT YOU WANTED!"

A/N: 9-20-14: Okay, to explain the original A/N, back when I first typed this I honestly thought 'Kuon' was spelled 'Koun'. Dyslexic moments when I read the manga and saw the name. But now I know better and have corrected most if not all of the misspellings. Um...yeah...

Corrected and ready to post!
