Chapter 5

"So, here's where you stay, okay?"Ren was showing her the guest room. Kyoko nodded to indicate she understood. She looked around inquisitively with a confused look on her face. Ren followed her gaze.

"Oh, yeah, sorry for the decorum. I didn't have enough time to take it down."he said looking around.

The room was plastered with posters of horror movies and other baubles that frightened Kyoko. The room had a dark cast and even though it was high noon, she shivered.

"Are you sure you want to stay in here? We can switch rooms if you want."he asked politely. Kyoko, who didn't want to inconvenience him, shook her head. "Alright, since I finished all my jobs for today, would you like to go do something?"Ren asked without a change in expression but on the inside he was super nervous that she would decline.

Kyoko was actually going to go shopping for clothes today, since her wardrobe was burnt up in the fire, so she shook her head with an apologetic look. "Tsuruga-san's idea of a good time probably isn't going shopping for my clothes."Kyoko thought. She looked at the time."I should probably get going now so I have enough time to do everything."she realized and waved goodbye.

Ren's mind was in turmoil."What could she be doing that's better than going on an outing with me? Maybe she has a date or or-"

His train of thought was interrupted by a magazine that was thrust in front his face. Kyoko wasn't sure he saw her wave so she took extra precautions.

Ren read,"I'm-going-now-ok? Alright, sure, you can go now, bye," and pushed her out the door. He had come up with a plan."I'm her senpai, right? Then it's okay if I secretly check up on her from time to time, right? Yeah, it's okay, it's not like I'm stalking her, I'm just going to the same places as her."he reassured himself,"Oh, I should probably disguise myself, not so Kyoko doesn't recognize me, just so I don't get mobbed by fans."he smiled to himself for finding a great solution. He exited his home complete with a disguise and caught sight of Kyoko. "Good thing she walks so slow,"he thought to himself and hurried after her.

Sorry this chapter is so short. If you see any grammar errors, then please alert me. Also I know that Ren's character probably doesn't allow stalking, oops, I mean secretly checking up on Kyoko, :) but I thought it would be funny. Anyways please review but if you don't it's alright. Have a great, fantabulous day! Right?! Hah, I used an interrobang. Everybody have a great day. (Even though I already said that, but whatever!) Bye!~
