Kyoko was in her dressing room, unbuttoning the uniform that she wore as Natsu, when a loud knock sounded on her door. It had been a long and busy day, but she brightened up immediately when she heard the knock.
She was anticipating Ren to come and pick her up, so that they would go home together. But they had finished the shooting ahead of schedule and there was still twenty minutes before Ren was supposed to come.
Yet wasn't he known for his impeccable timing? Was he as eager to see her as she was to see him? Her smile held a tinged of embarrassment at the excitement she felt in seeing him again.
Opening up the door quickly, she left her blouse half way unbuttoned as she said loudly, "Welcome!"
Staring at the daring expanse of cleavage before him, Sho grinned widely at Kyoko and answered, "Hi."
He wasn't expecting his childhood friend to be so pleasant. In fact, he was expecting another one of her famous demon spewing episodes, so when he met her sensual welcome, Sho was immediately struck with a pleasant surprise. What was it about his childhood friend that she has just growing more and more beautiful every minute? Was she finally warming up to him?
It didn't take him long to realise that Kyoko's warmth was not intended for him when she rescinded her smile, and a cold look of displeasure overtook her face. Not letting her shut the door on his face; Sho quickly pushed his way through. He continued to walk several steps into her dressing room before he turned around to face the antagonistic actress.
"What do you want?" Kyoko's voice was arctic and her eyes were narrowed on the tall singer that was staring boldly at her. Clutching her shirt together in one hand, she quickly realised the cause of his audacious appraisal.
"I'm here to take you home," Sho stated as he watched her face turn a bright pink. Was she embarrassed at being half dressed or was her colour caused by anger, he wondered.
"Home? Why should I need you to take me there, when Ren is already on his way to get me?" Kyoko shot back, while she turned away from him to button up her shirt.
"I don't mean to take you to his home or wherever it is that you may be shacking up with him at. I am talking about taking you back to my home," Sho countered, his voice held a ting of his annoyance at her lack of understanding.
He only wanted what was best for Kyoko in the long run. After all, she was just too naive and probably couldn't comprehend the kind of danger that she was sinking into by being involved with someone of Tsuruga-san's caliber
"And why would I be going anywhere with you?" Kyoko asked as she lifted up an eyebrow at him.
Sho was turning red with wrath at her resistance. How was it that she just couldn't accept the obvious? Didn't she understand that this was for her good? Was she that blind to how disastrous her relationship with that wolf could become?
Sho's voice was laced with anger as he tried to spell out the obvious to her, "Haven't you already realised? You and him don't belong together. You don't even look good together! So why don't you wake up from this nonsense already?"
"It's not that I haven't realised that, it's that you haven't realised that I just don't care what you think anymore Shoutaro!" Kyoko flung back at him. Her eyes grew large as she glowered up at him.
Since when did she grow so bold as to not care about what he would think? Sho sought to think of a plausible justification to make her leave Tsuruga-san immediately. She wasn't likely to understand that Tsuruga-san was nothing more than a vicious predator that should not be taken lightly. Perhaps she would care if it involved that stupid actor's career?
"Even if you don't care what I think, you should at least care about what the public will think if they realised that the popular Tsuruga Ren was involved in a scandalous relationship with an underage teenager," Sho answered, while he took in her defiant stance.
"What scandal? We are legally married, so who can call us scandalous?" Kyoko barked in righteous indignation. Her face grew dark red with anger, while she faced her adversary.
Snorting at her outburst, Sho sneered, "That might be fine if neither of you were in the public eye but since you are both in the entertainment industry, you will be held to a higher standard. So if you don't want to ruin both yours and his career, you better come with me now."
Reaching out to grab a fist full of his hair, Kyoko pulled his head towards her, until their faces were inches apart. In a chilly voice, she hissed, "Are you threatening to ruin Ren's career?"
Sho blinked back the tears of pain from Kyoko's tight grip. Quickly, he assessed Kyoko's current disposition and deciding that it was best to be honest with her, he finally answered, "As if I would need to do anything. Don't you realize that sooner or later all this will get out and the paparazzi will be all over you like vultures?"
Staring piercingly into the light brown eyes of her childhood friend, Kyoko probed, "Why do you care so much about this when it doesn't concern you?"
Sho was done with the pretenses, his answer was immediate and filled with sincerity when he responded, "Even if it doesn't concern me, I am your friend and I do not want you to be hurt by this scandal. Also, he's not what you think he is. He is a not just like any other actor, he's really famous and has a lot of female fans. He could fuck around with you like you're any other girl out there, so don't take this lightly. If you will only come back to me, then none of this will happen."
"That's all there is to it? You think that he's a player like you, so I should leave him and come back to you?" Kyoko snickered, while she wiped tears of hilarity from her eyes.
"Haven't I already told you that it doesn't matter to me what people will say and as for Ren, he is not the kind of man that will fuck around with me," Kyoko bit back. She hated that Sho could dare say such derogatory things about Ren.
Sho understood that Kyoko had become a victim of Tsuruga-san's charm. He even realized that anything he said to her would probably be instantly dismissed but he was determined to have his say, no matter what.
"You might think that but how well do you really know him? How do you know that he won't dump you for another person within the year? Are you really that special to him?" Sho queried.
Was Sho really trying to get her to believe that Ren was as worthless as he was? The mere thought that Sho had the audacity to insinuate such evil against Ren was not only ludicrous but it infuriated Kyoko. In a bust of outrage, Kyoko pushed Sho down and climbed on top of him.
Her anger was uncontrollable and all reason had escaped her, as she sought to punish the singer for his insolence. Banging on his chest with both her tiny fists, she yelled furiously, "He's not like you. He says he loves me and really means it. With him, I will never have to worry about other women or being treated poorly."
Although Sho anticipated some show of resistance from Kyoko, he was not used to having any women push him down. Laying on his back and watching the fiery actress accost him; he was temporary taken aback by his current situation. But he was not one to stay down for long. Rolling over her, Sho pinned her to the ground.
Slowly and deliberately he cautioned her, "I am offering you a last chance to give up on Tsuruga-san and come back to me. If you still continue in your obstinacy, you will definitely get hurt. Do you understand?"
"If you think I will seriously consider your suggestion, then you are crazy!" Kyoko retorted, while she struggled to gain her freedom from beneath him.
Releasing her and standing up, Sho took one last look at her before adding, "Well then, don't come crying to me when things blow up in your face. I did try to warn you."
Springing to her feet, Kyoko strode swiftly towards her door. Opening it wide, she replied, "Don't worry Shoutaro, I have never come to you crying. Nor will I ever do so."
The room felt strangely large and empty when Sho walked out. Slamming the door shut behind him, Kyoko could feel her heart racing from her outrage. Taking quick steps back to the center of her room, she returned to changing out of her uniform.
She tried not to think about what Sho had said but a nagging concern kept creeping up in her mind. She wasn't concern that Ren would replace her. Her instincts told her that Ren was the faithful type and anyone who would suggest otherwise deserved to be tortured and beheaded.
Rather, she was worried that being married to him might impact his career and Sho might have been right that it could lead to some problems. Kyoko was not sure what to do about it. She was not concern about her own career. It wasn't as if she was a big name actress to begin with but Ren was a different matter.
She needed to make sure that Ren would not suffer by their relationship. But how was she able to prevent such a feat?
Ren was hurrying, as he headed out to Kyoko's dressing room. His mind was on his latest meeting with Yashiro and Director Hiromitsu. If things worked out, then he would have to go to America to meet up with the production company that wanted to sponsor his next movie.
But the details had yet to be finalized and Ren tried not to dwell on the possibility. He understood how fickle the western film industry was and nothing was ever guaranteed. Even if they met him and signed him, there was no certainty that the film would be released in America and would open in the US markets.
Many Asians films were now made overseas but that did not imply that they had any opportunity of being aired in America. At best, they might end up at the foreign film festival but having his heart set on getting acknowledged by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and being nominated for an Oscar was still just a dream.
Trying not to despair at his current prospects, Ren refused to carry his tension over with him. As he stood facing Kyoko's dressing room door, he forced a smile on his face before he lifted his hand to knock.
The door cracked open slightly and Kyoko's face peeked through before she flung open the door. Stepping back, she greeted him with a wide and peculiar smile. It reminded Ren of a generic smile, almost one rung out of professional courtesy. Bracing himself for any possible bad news, Ren immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
At the same time, Kyoko said, "How are you?"
Blushing at how awkward she was feeling over seeing Ren again, Kyoko tried to hide her embarrassment. Stepping back and into her dressing room to locate her purse, she took a brief moment to compose herself before she answered, "Eh, nothing is wrong. I was just still in the middle of gathering my things when you arrived."
"Then are you ready? Shall we go now?" Ren smiled warmly at her. His heart began to race as he watched her wander around, her hips swaying seductively from side to side, as she gathered a few more items.
Her makeup and hair was still styled as Natsu. But she was dressed in a loose fitting blouse that fell slightly off the shoulder on one arm and shorts that clung tightly to her small waist. She also had on thigh high pink stockings and ankle high brown boots, both of which drew Ren's attention to her long and slender legs.
At the moment, Ren could not help but want to kiss her. A sudden thought occurred to him when he realised that as her husband, he had every right to do so. Taking a step towards her, he leaned in and touched his lips softly over her cheek. The movement surprised Kyoko who froze instantly.
Turning slowly towards him she asked in a dazed voice, "W-what was that for?"
A wide grin fell over Ren's face when he realized what effect his chaste kiss had over his lovely wife. Reaching for her, he pushed her up against the wall and leaned into her, while he waited for her to lift her face up towards him before he claimed her lips in a long and searing kiss.
A small groan escaped Kyoko before she reached up and locked her hands behind Ren's neck. Pressing her body into his, she felt his hardness bulging against her stomach. The presence of his arousal shocked her and she drew away slightly from him.
But Ren's whispered voice stopped her, "Don't."
His lips were burning like fire as he smothered hers and his hands reached down to hold her hips in place. Molding her against him, he caressed the curve of her bottom and lifted her up tightly against his hardness. He wanted to feel her softness and his body was aching for her.
Wrapping one of her legs around his waist, he fitted himself up between her legs. With one hand, he held her cupped buttock, while with the other; he held the calf of her leg surrounding his hip. Stroking at her shapely buttock, he molded himself at the apex of her thighs.
Kyoko surrendered to his request, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, she opened her mouth wide to allow him entry. Her tongue was as eager to meet his as they deepened the kiss. With a soft sigh, she relaxed against him, feeling him pressed up hard against her lower half.
Ren's hands slid up her shirt and within seconds, he was fondling the soft budded outline of her nipples that were still under her lacy bra. They peaked instantly in his large hands and Kyoko did not pull away when he unhooked her bra to obtain better access to her breasts.
She bit back a whimper of pleasure when he twisted her nipples between the tips of his forefingers and thumbs. Her body was coming alive under his heated touch and Kyoko sought more by arching upwards. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she clung to him tightly, while with one of her legs, she gripped onto his waist.
After what felt like an eternity, Ren released her and gently pushed away from her. Their breaths were labored as they stared at each other. Ren was the first to speak, when he noticed the confused look on Kyoko's face, "We need to stop or else I won't be able to."
It took a moment before his meaning sank in and Kyoko's face turned a deep red with understanding. Nodding, she took a self-conscious step away and her voice was filled with disappointment when she said, "I understand."
With dull and soulful eyes that held her disappointment, Kyoko continued to stare longingly at Ren, unconsciously telling him what she wanted. Taking a glance around the room, Ren quickly asked, "Is anyone else going to be using this room?"
"No, shooting is done for the day, so no one should be needing this room. Why do you ask?" Kyoko's uplifted face held her bewilderment, as she watched Ren stride purposefully towards the door and lock it.
"Because, I think I owe you an apology for the last time I was in here with you," Ren answered huskily before he turned back towards her.
"Apology? What do you mean?" Kyoko asked.
"I'm talking about the time when you and I …and what we did…." Ren's words trailed off as he waited for Kyoko to understand his meaning.
How was he able to relate to her that he wanted to apologize for his brutal treatment of her and the way he had taken her so roughly when they last stood in this room? Didn't she feel any anger at his crude treatment of her?
His face was beginning to grow pale when Kyoko continued to look up at him in confusion. "I don't understand when you and I did what?" she asked, causing the rest of Ren's color to vanish.
Swallowing past a dry uncomfortable lump, Ren realised that there was no polite way to explain. Letting out a soft curse under his breath, he finally clarified her confusion, "I'm talking about when you and I were last here and I fucked you."
Kyoko drew in a sharp breath at his vulgar accounting of what had transpired on the day she had tried to confess her feelings to him. Her face burned bright with embarrassment and she had to look away from his intense scrutiny.
A small fraction of annoyance washed over her at his reminder of "fucking" and Kyoko tried to dismiss the fact that Ren's prior action would be something Sho would definitely negatively highlight. Her stomach lurched in protest and she resolved to undermine the situation at all cost. After all, she did not want to lend credibility to what Sho had insinuated.
Lifting her chin up, she tried to make light of the situation, seeing that there was no other way to address it. With her back facing him, she advocated, "It really wasn't like that. You have nothing to apologize for."
This time it was Ren's turn to take in a surprised breath. With three large steps, he reached her side and spinning her around to face him, he asked, "What are you saying? Do you mean it didn't bother you at all?"
Slightly taken aback by his abrupt reaction, Kyoko's eyes rounded into large saucers. She was unable to find her voice, while she licked at her lips apprehensively. Did she say something wrong? Was Ren expecting her to feel negative over what had happened? Judging from his scorching scrutiny, she knew instinctively that he wanted something from her.
But Kyoko couldn't find it in her heart to criticize him for any of his actions. Not even for that. This was her husband and she only sought to bring him happiness. There could never be a moment when he could ever do anything that she would be displeased about.
You sound just like you did when Sho treated you badly. Her inner voice accused her but Kyoko pushed the thought away. It didn't matter if she was repeating her former behavior because this was Ren and not Sho.
But he's still a man and he even admitted that he fucked you, or have you forgotten? Her conscious continued to provoke.
Lifting a smile to her lips, she sought to ignore her inner voice and answered Ren's question. Dealing with it in a similar way she would have dealt with any of Sho's questions, she responded, "Ren, you are so amazing no matter what you do."
Her reply caused Ren to frown. For a slight minute, Kyoko's words reminded Ren of something a star-struck fan would say to him. It wasn't something that he would have predicted she would have said.
Clearing his throat, he inquired, "So are you saying that it's fine no matter what I do?"
Kyoko's face began to pale when she noticed the bedazzling smile that Ren was subconsciously flashing at her. She had angered him and unsure of how to answer him, she regressed into her former style.
Thinking that Ren could be pleased like the way Sho had been whenever she praised him, Kyoko replied, "Yes, no matter what you do, it will always be fine."
Ren's smile got brighter as he probed, "Fine?"
Kyoko's chin began to tremble and continuing on nervously, she persisted, "No, even better than fine, it will always be perfect."
Again, Ren gave her his infamous gentleman smile and requested, "What was that again?"
Kyoko's color took on a death like paleness and her features were contorted with dread as she tried once more to accommodate Ren, "You are so magnificent that even if all you did was stand still, no one could compare to you."
Bursting out in laughter, Ren had to wipe at the tears on the corners of his eyes before he could speak, "That was such a forced compliment that no one should ever believe such words. More importantly, you should not feel the need to flatter me but instead feel comfortable to just tell me how you truly feel."
Kyoko's face darkened with indignation and her hair stood up on end as she protested, "How could I possibly say anything negative about my senpai?"
Shaking his head at her, Ren explained, "It shouldn't matter that I am your senpai. You are my wife and as my wife, you have every right to speak your mind with me."
It wasn't that she hadn't been affected by what had happened but it just wasn't in her personality to hold a grudge. More importantly, she didn't want to give any validity to the possibility that Ren could truly consider her like any other woman. Especially when Sho had accused him of being able to "fuck around" with her.
Softly Kyoko mumbled uncomfortably, as she looked down and away from him, "But I really didn't think of it as that way."
Lifting her chin up to meet his eyes, Ren asked, "Then you didn't mind what I did to you here in this very room?"
Kyoko's eyes darkened with desire as she recalled the passionate way he had taken her. Her heart was racing at the memory. Licking her lips, she tried to speak but only a soft frustrated groan of longing escaped her. Ren may have been rough with her but she had never felt as inflamed with passion as that day.
Her expression gave her away and Ren couldn't resist her any longer. Pulling her back into his arms, he lifted her up and walked over to the makeup table that he had once taken her on. Sitting her gently down on the edge of the table, he whispered, "Do you mind if we did it again?"
Kyoko was spellbound as she laid her hands on the wall of Ren's chest in answer to his question. She could feel his heart pacing steadily under the palm of her hand. His words were intoxicating and she wanted to hurry into the promise of pleasure that only he could offer her.
Like a child eager to open up a present, her hands shook, as she reached down to unbutton his shirt. Forgetting to answer him, her mind was caught up in the prospect of reliving that passionate moment. A slow smile spread across Ren's handsome features, as he stood still and allowed her to undress him.
His torso was muscular and hard, and Kyoko ran her hands lovingly over it. She could feel his muscles twitch reflexively under her light touch. His response made her grow bold and hopping off the table she shoved him against it instead.
"Stay," she commanded in a soft voice.
Ren was no longer smiling when he leaned back against the table. But the heated look in Kyoko's golden eyes suggested that she wanted him to obey her and without any hesitation, he did as she ordered.
Kyoko fell to her knees, kneeling between his legs. Her hands reached for his buckle and unclasping the metal, she pulled his belt off. Next, she found his zipper and with several quick movements, she was able to unfasten it and was pulling his pants and boxers down to expose his growing excitement.
She took her time to admire him, her eyes taking in his large, hard shaft, as it sprung to life among the bed of faint blonde curls. It was amazing to her that she never noticed his blonde curls. Her hand instantly reached towards it and running her fingers through the coarse bed of hair, she allowed herself to feel its unique texture.
Ren reached for Kyoko, only to have her stay his hands with her words, "Don't move yet."
Grasping his penis tightly, she cradled it fondly, while she watched Ren lean back and close his eyes. "You are so hard," she whispered against his erection.
Swallowing back his desire, Ren forced himself to remain still as he waited for Kyoko to take him in her mouth. But he was surprised when her hands began to caress his scrotum instead. Tugging on them, she filled her hands with them, making Ren grow even larger and harder.
Her warm breath was against the inner flesh of his thigh, as she asked him huskily, "Do you remember what you did to me here?"
"Yes," Ren breathed out.
Smiling widely, Kyoko laid a wet tongue against his thigh and began to lick in a circular motion. She could see Ren's erection begin to throb and its pink tip moisten with fluid. Biting into the muscular flesh of his inner thigh, she heard him suck in a deep breath but he did not move nor flinch from her action.
Sucking hard at his thigh, she began to give him a love bite similar to what he had given her. It wasn't long before she was satisfied with the purple bruise that had form. Although she was still fondling his testes, stroking and pulling at them, she couldn't resist taking them in her wet mouth.
With his gonads in her mouth, she suckled on each one individually. Her tongue traced at its attachment point to his body. She could hear his breathing quicken and her own excitement was increasing with it. More and more clear fluid was appearing on the head of his penis and Kyoko took her time sucking at his balls and resisting the urge to take his enlarged erection in her mouth.
When Ren finally lifted his penis in his own hand and began to stroke himself, Kyoko couldn't help but become transfixed by his actions. His hips began to sway at her as he touched himself. But it didn't take her long before she laid her hand over his to stop him.
Mimicking something that Setsu would say, she said in a very stern and seductive manner, "Don't, I'm not done with you yet."
Pushing him down onto his back, Kyoko quickly undressed before she queried, "Remember when you said you weren't done fucking me?"
Nodding at her Ren waited for her to make her point. Slowly, she climbed on top and settled above him. As if she were riding him, she lowered herself onto him, and slowly she inserted his rod into her.
It wasn't until he was completely immersed in her wet center before she forewarned, "Now it's my turn."
Ren almost came undone as she began to rub her hips over him. His own body was sunk so deeply in her hot cambers that he felt ready to explode from the sheer pleasure of his surroundings. Her walls were clutched tight around him and with every push of her hips he could feel his ability to hold on slip away.
Kyoko's hips were held tightly in place by Ren's large hands. His hard member penetrated hers and she was dissolving quickly with his every deep thrust. Over and over, she felt him plunge up and into her, while she rocked up and against his solid form. Harder and faster they moved against each other, fervently rubbing and rocking against each other.
Kyoko's insides felt like they were about to burst every time she sank down hard onto his large member. She could even feel Ren's urgency as she rode him, demanding and driving excitedly into her, while she descended onto his hardness. "Faster," she ordered as he hauled his hips up powerfully to meet hers.
Quickening his pace, Ren thrusted forcefully and deep into her and was awarded with a soft cry, when Kyoko finally found her release. With her tight walls clamping at him, he pierced into her wetness once more before he went rigid then shuddered repeatedly, as he poured himself into her.
Kyoko's heart was racing and she waited until Ren stopped moving before she looked down at him. Smiling with a cat like grin, she said to him, "Now I think we can call it even."
Gazing fondly up at the naked siren that he was still embedded into, he smiled lazily back, "You can do that to me any time."
A/N: Hi everyone. Hope you liked this recent chapter. I had to rethink my story since there was such an uproar about Sho appearing in my story. It took me a while to come up with the right premise, so that Kyouko could learn to love.
But now that I have everything worked out, I hope you will continue to support me with your reviews. I would also like to thank all of you that favored my story, you are the reason I continue to write despite my tendonitis.
