And on with the show!


Kyouko looked up confused, her eyes had been closed previously, awaiting Ren to bestow another one of those hot kisses upon her lips but no kiss came, and instead Ren was hovered above her... shaking? Ren was shaking? Why?

"Sempai-" Kyouko was cut off short as Ren grinned and shook his head, his index finger touching her lips softly to stop her.

"Ren. Call me Ren, Kyouko." Ren's usage of her name thrilled her more than it was meant to, it was only a name after all. But why did it sound like a prayer coming from his lips, his eyes smoldering as he watched her reaction with interest, knowing full well the havoc he was wreaking in her mind. Little warning lights and soft pinks were going off in her head, saying that he was dangerous, that she loved him and that he was so god damn sexy. Ren's face leaped into a smirk as he saw these emotions cross Kyouko's face, he'd winced slightly when fear had flitted across her eyes but had relaxed at the look of love and had felt extremely happy at the look of desire that she now focused on his face with. But Kyouko's face was overcome with confusion and most dominantly, fear. She was scared. Of him? Or what he/she might do?

Kyouko froze after the joy of his usage of her name flowed through her. It was wrong. So wrong. He was an adult, she was a child compared to him and he couldn't be interested in her... was he drunk? Delirious? Worry flitted through Kyouko and then she understood the implications of her look, his words and position... No, she wasn't ready for that. And anyway that meant a serious relationship for her, she wasn't going to play around with her sempai, not in this lifetime. She lifted her hand up to Ren's forehead gently, brushing away the bangs that hovered over his eyes and covered his forehead. His usually neat hair was a mess, but strangely Kyouko liked it that way. "No temperature... are you ok, sempai?" Kyouko ignored what Ren had requested earlier, she wasn't one to be informal and she wasn't about to start now.

Ren sighed disgruntled, so she ignored me, eh? Interesting. "Kyouko, darling, I assure you. I am in perfect health and mind. I know exactly what I am doing, unlike, it seems, a certain someone." Ren stared a smoldering gaze down at her small, perfect body that was timidly lying underneath him and kissed it on the lips gently, ever so gently. Her lips quivered in fear, or maybe anticipation? Ren didn't know, he didn't care. He had the girl of his dreams in his arms and he wasn't about to let her go. Not without a fight anyway. No way would he ever let Sho get near her again. "Please. I'm begging you, call me Ren." he whispered, his lips gently brushing against her plump, soft ones as he spoke.

"R-Ren..." Kyouko stuttered uncertainly, as Ren moved his head to gently press kisses along her jaw line, his hot breath breathing against her neck, tickling it so that Kyouko giggled without meaning to. Ren grinned, satisfied to have gotten a reaction out of her... it made him want to do other things though. Another night maybe? Not now... No, not with her shaking frame. This little rabbit was scared, and anyway, he planned to savor her, keep her by his side at all costs. This one wouldn't get away. He would not lose his first love.

Kyouko whimpered, scared now that Ren was kissing her neck, sucking at it. Surely leaving marks. Unknown to Kyouko, this was the complete idea of the action, to leave marks to be a clear token to any guy that she was taken by someone who wouldn't let go of her. Kyouko squirmed and pushed at Ren's chest, unwilling to have the long-legged, handsome guy above her, reeking havoc to her nervous system. Ren pulled back, first kneeling and then he stood up, only to grab her hand and pull her up into a hug against his broad chest.

"Kyouko, I'm sorry. I don't know what over came me. Seriously I didn't mean to take advantage of you like that... but please understand... I do care about you." Ren muttered looking over Kyouko's head, unwilling to look into her face, afraid that his animal urges would take over completely... that whole action had been part him, part his unconscious. Not that he really regretted it, he'd wanted to kiss her for months now. And she had granted him permission, right? Kyouko stiffened and looked up at the now distracted man.

"It's ok... I did say yes. And I honestly don't know if I care about you that way... Sempai." Ren winced at the usage of the honorific and pulled away from Kyouko still refusing to look at her. "Are you that ashamed of what you've done? Do you regret it that much!?" Kyouko looked at Ren scathingly. "That's worse than being rejected. Look at me Ren." Kyouko commanded, reaching up to pull Ren's face towards her direction, he refused and just grabbed her hands to stop her from attempting anymore. He was stronger. Kyouko glared at the childish man in front of her, a blush ascending her cheeks but still she didn't stop. "I said, LOOK AT ME!" Kyouko screamed at the man, tears of anger rolling down her face, she snorted derisively and then lifted herself onto her tiptoes and turned Ren's face towards her, using the momentary surprise her scream had caused, and kissed him.

Ren didn't know what to do, first he had been called sempai, then screamed at and then kissed? Did she have a split personality issue? Not that that mattered anymore, not whilst he was kissing her back, tongue angrily intruding his mouth and causing his eyes to open suddenly in surprise. Now he hadn't expected that. Ren kissed back, his arms twisting themselves protectively around Kyouko's small, thin frame, only to find Kyouko's hands lift themselves from his face and pulled his head down as her arms wrapped around the back of his neck. Pulling him closer to her. For a moment Ren's mind thought it has in heaven until he felt the sharp nip of Kyouko's teeth against his lip, breaking the fragile skin there and leaving the taste of blood in his mouth as she stopped the kiss.

"Don't you dare ignore me again, Ren." Kyouko whispered as she leant to gently kiss the blood away, almost as if apologizing for her action. But Ren saw the underlying threat, the possessive nature. Just what had Sho caused by leaving her like that? Fear filled Kyouko's eyes at the thought of being left by the man that now meant her life. She had lied when saying that she didn't know how she felt about him, she had known all too well the moment that she had given him permission to kiss her what she felt for him... but she felt that if she spoke those three, too common words she would find herself alone. Once again abandoned.


Sorry if it's slightly depressing at the end? Not in a good mood and no Ren is not a masochist and Kyouko is not a sadist... I think?

Hope you like it... and it will become an M rating later on... but not yet I think. They have too many problems for that at the moment.
