Random person: flattery will get you no where!

Me: ... well... I tried :P

Enjoy!

Kyoko

Ever since Sho-baka said those things about me, I had a hard time getting back on my feet. Then when I saw that LME was holding additions for new stars I jumped at the chance… even though I had no talent back then. I was fueled by my hatred and desire for revenge for Sho-baka.

But now that I think about it, I was silly to enter showbiz on that. It only resulted in him appearing in my life a lot more than he had before, and worse Japan's #1 actor hated me for it.

I mean it didn't matter to me if Tsuruga-senpia hated me or not, but he made my life harder than it needed to be.

It didn't help that he was always at LME or where ever I was! He was one sneaky devil, that Tsuruga. Though somewhere during the time that I have been with LME my hatred for Sho-baka lessened, and only flared whenever he appeared. I found myself wanting to impress, to match, with Tsuruga-senpai.

I found myself wanting his approval, I longed for it. Yet when I receive his praise… it wasn't enough. I feel joy with getting his praise, but there's something else. I don't know.

Around the time of Dark Moon there it was, that something else, it was when Tsuruga-senpia was getting NG's. I was angry, no, enraged!

What's wrong with him?

Did he get sick again? No, that can't be it, even when he had a fever that man played the character role perfectly.

I finally figured it out after Director Ogata told Tsuruga to take some time; my senpai was having trouble finding his Katsuki. My assumption was correct when Tsuruga-senpia had come up to me a few days later asking for my help.

What could a lowly kohai, like me, help a great actor, like him?

That something else happened when I fell off the chair and he caught me. There it was that echoing I had been hearing since he got sick with that fever. My locks were being removed.

I couldn't stop it, not with him so close to me. His scent filling my senses, his arms wrapped tightly around me, and his lips close to my ear. His embrace tightened around me, I could feel his rapid heartbeat. Or was it mine?

I haven't kissed anyone before, I wish I had let hi- No, bad Kyoko, he is your honor senpia.

What is happening here!? This needs to stop.

I had no idea if he was acting or not, but I had to stop him or I would never have been able to forgive myself. As it turned out that evil senpai was acting the whole time. He is very great actor, really makes me angry!

… He'd never go for someone like me; I'm so plain and unappealing. I'm not as pretty as Moko-san or Momose-san. Beside Tsuruga could have any beautiful woman he wanted, so if I were any normal girl he wouldn't even spare me a second glance. I'm nothing compared to him.

Oh stop it Kyoko!

Ren Tsuruga is not important to you and you do not l-l-lo… you do not like him in a romantic sense! You've banished the "L" word forever, and you will never go back to how you were!

"I'm being ridicules."

Besides, that man completely bullied me before I was fully accepted into LME. I shouldn't pine over him just because he has good looks and long legs and a caring personality with a wicked twist or the fact that he looks after me a lot now and seems to care a lot about me. Then he dislikes Sho-baka with a great passion like me, and… and…

"Oh who am I kidding!? I like him."

How could I let this happen?!

It's not fair Tsuruga! You can't just barge into my life (granted that I pretty much barged into yours) and make me l-lo-like you! Not after what happened with Shotaro… I can't let my heart be torn again, no matter how much of a great guy you are.

"I just can't d-? Oh my phone…"

:: Hello Ms Mogami, are you busy right now?:: RT

::Hi Mr. Tsuruga, no I'm free for now. What is it?:: KM

::Well, you see... I wanted to invite you to dinner. Are you free tonight?:: RT

Invite me to dinner, why? Oh Kami, say no Kyoko say no!

::I would love to Mr. Tsuruga!:: KM

::Fantastic, when do you get off of work?:: RT

::I can pick you up.:: RT

::I get off at eight thirty today.:: KM

::That won't be necessary Mr. Tsuruga, How about you pick me up at Darumaya?:: KM

::Alright, I'll see you there then. Have a nice day Ms Mogami!:: RT

::You too Mr. Tsuruga.:: KM

WHY!?

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Um, Kyoko are you alright?" Moko-san asked a weird expression on her face.

"No!" I shouted.

"What's the matter? And no need to shout." She said.

"Sorry Moko-san, but I… Tsuruga-sama… he…" I said.

'What, he what?" she asked.

"Asked me out to dinner…" I whispered.

"He asked you out to- oommmph!?" she began to shout.

"Shhh! Yes, don't shout." I said removing my hands from her mouth.

"What did you say?" Moko-san asked haughtily.

"Yes." I replied.

Throughout the whole day, I found that I couldn't focus on anything. It was completely Tsuruga-san's fault! I should have never accepted to go out to dinner with him. I mean, what if someone from the paparazzi sees us!? I'd ruin my senpai's reputation! No, I should just cancel and say that something came up yeah… that's what I'll do! But… he had sounded so excited; I know it was through texting that he asked, but even so. Why would he take the time out of his busy schedule to ask me on a d- … to ask me on a date? Well, at least I'm done with work… I'm done with work… Oh no!

"Moko-san!" I scream as I run to her dressing room.

"Mo! What!?"

"What am I going to wear!"

Once I arrived at the Darumaya's, I quickly inform them of my date with Tsuruga-san. Okami-sama was very happy to hear that I would be going to dinner with him, but…

"You should hurry and get dress, Kyoko!" she said, "He'll be here any minute."

I hurriedly bow and run upstairs to ready myself. Moko-san had given me a prop dress, it was very pretty. A blue fading in dress and navy black heels, I do hope that Tsuruga-san likes my actual hair color. The makeup artist at work was kind to lend me a primary blue daisy hair pin. Well, I've done all I can do to this plain girl…

Ren, himself, looked dashing; with a silk dark blue shirt and pure black slacks.

Saying their farewell to the couple housing Kyoko, the pair set out to their date. Throughout the ride to the restaurant, they talked about their day and what new roles they have.

Finally reaching the restaurant, an older waiter led them to their table, away from peering eyes.

"Here is you table sir, ma'am." Their waiter said gesturing them to their table.

"Thank you." Kyoko said smiling at the man.

"Can I get you anything to drink; perhaps I can interest you in our new raspberry wine?" he suggested.

"Yes we'll have a bottle of that please?" Ren agreed giving the waiter a friendly smile.

"Of course sir, miss?" he asked Kyoko.

"A glass of water please, thank you." She replied.

"I will be right back, your menus." Waiter said placing their menus on the table and left to retrieve their drinks.

"You look very lovely, Ms Mogami." Ren complimented smiling.

"Kyoko." She replied blushing as her gaze went from Ren to the table and back.

"I'm sorry, what?" he asked staring his smile gone.

"W-we have known each other for quite some time now... so I thought that we can start calling each other by first name?" Kyoko said nervously.

"... I would love to, Kyoko."

...

Is it wrong for a pleasant shiver to run up and down my spine when he says my name like that?

Our waiter is very kind to give us private time, something that we hardly get. Tsu- Ren seemed not to mind me talking; in fact he seemed rather content? listening to me talk. Though as I was talking about my newly found love for acting, he seemed to go into a deep thought, Ren looked as though he was in pain. Had he hurt himself during filming as he did his own stunts again?

Then he told me about his past. How could he think that it was his fault, someone as perfect and angelic as Ren!?

"How can you think that was your fault Ren?" I asked.

"What do you mean Kyoko, it was completely my fault." Ren replied seemingly surprised by my question.

"No it was not, did you ask the man driving to run Rick over?" I began to drill.

"N-no..."

"Were you the one driving the car?" I was angry, how could Ren think that such a thing like that was his fault?

"No..."

"Did you intend for that to happen?" I will not let this angel fall, he can't; I won't let him.

"No."

"Then it wasn't your fault. If I was Tina, and you were Rick, I would have reacted the same way."

"You would? Why?"

"Simple because I lo- you're my friend!"

"Okay."

Oh Kami! I slipped… I know he noticed; he couldn't he? He's The Tsuruga Ren… I didn't notice that our waiter had returned, and that Ren had ordered dessert and wine. We ate our cakes after he thanked me for listening. The waiter wanted our autographs; I was rather embarrassed as I haven't had anyone ask for an autograph from me before. I had thought that the date was over, it left me feeling sad, but apparently Ren had something else planned for our night; a surprise.

He was taking us to Tokyo Tower.

"Ren it's so beautiful up here!"

I twirl around, my dress twirling along. I finally come to a stop in front of the window and as I gaze out into the lit up city, I notice that Ren is staring at me with a soft gaze and smoldering eyes.

"Ren what are you staring at?"

"I'm staring at you."

"Eh, oh I must look childish!" I say as a blush appears.

"On the contrary you look adorable."

"R-really?"

"Yes, just as much as you look beautiful right now."

I start to move back when I see that Ren begins to move forward with the Emperor of the Night in his eyes. I had cornered myself, and Ren is now in front of me.

"Ren…" I ask trying to get him to come back.

"Yes?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about how beautiful you are, and how lucky I am to have you as my date tonight."

Oh, oh my…

"Kyoko."

"Y-yes Ren?"

"I need to tell you something... very… important."

"W-what is i-it?" I ask curiously.

He takes a deep breath.

"I love you."

Silence, she stays there her eyes wide in surprise.

"I have loved you for almost a year now, every since I found my Katsuki."

"Y-you love me?"

He nods; a little blush appears on his cheeks. Did I make The Tsuruga blush?

"Why?" she asked her blush cooling down.

"Because you are beautiful."

I blush.

"Because you are strong willed."

I stare at him from under my bangs.

"Because you're a brilliant actress."

I can feel a smile play on my lips.

"Because you are unique."

I look up at him.

"Because you are... Kyoko."

I'm so happy, I've finally found him... my prince who loves me for me.

"I want to tell you something else, I need to tell you."

I look at him with confusion.

"About my really name..."

"Kuon?"

"You knew?"

I nod sheepishly.

"Since when?"

"Since the last time father came to Japan, three months ago."

Even though I'm facing the floor, I can sense that Ren is still staring.

"You're not mad?"

"Why would I be Ren?"

"Because I'm Kuon, because I'm Corn."

I shot my head up and stare at him.

"Corn, you're Corn too?!"

Ren nods his head.

"You're my fairy prince?"

He nods again.

"Ren, why didn't you tell me sooner!?"

"Because I was scared that you would be mad that I wasn't a fairy."

"Oh I don't care about that! You're my fairy!"

"Yours?"

"Yes!"

"Kyoko, I never knew you could be so possessive."

"Of course you're my fairy prince and I lo-" I grow red.

"And you what?"

How you torment me! I breathe in deeply and try to calm my rapid heart.

"I love you, Ren"

He looked as though he had won the World's Greatest Actor Award. It made me happy too, until he leaned in and I felt his lips against mine.

This kiss… Ren's kiss is so much different from Shotaro's, his kisses me softly and hesitatingly.

"Ren?"

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"I-it's okay..."

"Then can I do it again?"

"... y-yes..."

His kisses are gentle and soft, yet are passionate and demanding. It's hard to describe it; his kiss.

It's warm like the spring sun yet hot like summer.

It's light like bird feathers yet stronger.

It's a feeling of rushing water.

It's… It's his kiss.

When we had parted for air, and just like in so many romance movies, I had commented on the kiss with only one word that seemed to be the only word that would sum it all up. Ren blushed. I had been sad when it was time to leave, but I didn't want to get Ren in trouble for not having me home on time. We had gotten to the car when I turned to look at Ren only to see him with a thoughtful look.

"Ren what are you thinking about right now, you expression is really thoughtful?" I asked curiously.

"Hm, I was thinking on how much I want to kiss you."

"Eh?"

"Don't worry I won't... unless you want me to?"

I look down once he asks, but I know that he notices the small nod that I give him. And thus my prince kisses me again. Everything is so perfect, if only time would stop. This kiss was so different, it was pure passion and from where he had placed his hands; I felt as though I was burning.

"I love you Kyoko, more than I should." He said as he rested his forehead against mine.

"I love you too Kuon." I reply blushing and smiling in pure happiness.

…

We drive make to my home, and Ren walks me to the door just like a true gentleman.

"Kyoko..."

"Yes?"

"I love you." He says and leaves a kiss on my forehead.

I no longer cared if the paparazzi saw us together, all I cared about was our love and Ren and acting.

"I love you too, Kuon." I whisper and slip into the house.

Alright, well I tried to make it as long as the other one... though I feel like Ren's is much more interesting main sentence the anime and managa actually show him looking at her the way he does and his thoughts about her too... so all in all Ren a whole lot easier to write :P

I just wanted to play around with what I thought would be fun with thinking like Ren and Kyoko when it comes to thoughts of the other, and this is what my crazy mind came up with.

I hope you liked, thank you all for reading and waiting so patiently for me to update :P
