Broken Tango

After their performance that left the audience speechless, Kyoko and Ren heard the host announced that it was time to party and dance themselves too. The two went back stage and silently slipped out of the mansion and all the noisy partying. They sneaked outside to the garden. There were a lot of people there too, but most of them were couples and they scattered themselves here and there. So they sneaked past all of them easily. They just wanted some peace and quite from all the noises, especially after that performance. It sure would raise a lot of questions and they were not prepared to answer it, especially because they still had not had a press conference for the movie. The PR for the movie decided to have it after all the scenes were filmed because it was a dance movie and they might change the actors. They would have no problem of changing actors if they did not announced the casts.

They quietly walked past the garden unto the tall hedge maze which was currently forbidden for the night because someone might get lost and would not be rescued until the morning. There were guards on all the entrances of the maze. Right that moment they were in front of one. Ren smiled at the guard and asked if they could passed and went in to the maze.

"We can not do that, Tsuruga-sama." The guard said.

"I came here a few times and I already know the way to the center." Ren answered with his fake smile and Kyoko shivered a little at his side. "And if we do get lost, which we will not, I can just boost her up on my shoulders and you will know where we are."

The guard seemed to consider it for a few seconds and then, stepped aside and let them passed. They thanked the guard and proceeded into the maze. Ren shrugged his suit jacket and draped it on Kyoko's shoulders. She mumbled a thank you and they continued their walk inside the maze. During their walk, Ren took a hold of her hand and held it tightly. "So you won't get lost, okay?" He explained with a small smile.

"And here I thought, we were already lost." Kyoko answered teasingly.

"Well…" Ren said in a thoughtful manner. "In some ways…" He said seriously and then smiled brightly. "But certainly not in this way, my lady." He gestured to the pathway ahead of them and after several steps they arrived at the center. Kyoko gasped as she saw the magnificent gazebo before them. In each five posts, there were elegant angel statues standing beautifully, with lights illuminating them dramatically. It looked really romantic. Ren walked to the steps of the gazebo and bowed.

"Will you join me, princess?" He said as he offered his hand to her. Kyoko smiled brightly and giggled at his princely act. She took his hand happily and they walked inside the Gazebo. They sat next to each other on the bench inside the gazebo and they both sighed in relief to finally relax. Their schedules were both packed since they signed the contracts to the Crimson Silhouette movie. They had dancing lessons and after that was the filming and on the last and the busiest filming week of the movie, the president announced that they would have to perform for his birthday.

Since, they had no time to get together with other actors and actresses to perform and practice with them, they decided to just perform with the two of them because they were practically with each other all through the last week of filming the movie. Kyoko even practically lived in Ren's apartment during that one week to practice that routine they just performed.

During the Crimson Silhouette movie experience, they grew comfortable with each other because that was the very first thing they had to learn in their dancing lessons. Their dance instructors would not let them practice anything without being comfortable with each other. It was difficult for Kyoko because she was the pure type but they did overcome it, overtime. But with great endurance on Kyoko's part and a lot of touching on Ren's part. So skin and body contact between them were fairly normal now.

Ren stretched his hand out on the back of the bench behind her and leaned back in a relax position. Kyoko unconsciously leaned in and rested her head on his shoulder. They enjoyed the warmth of their bodies and the peaceful silence in the air. Though they could still hear the music in the distance. But it felt like they were on their own little world which was really pleasant. They were celebrities and being famous came with a price, which was no private moments. But they were having one now and they were very content and happy.

Then, a familiar music sounded in a distance. It made Kyoko smile as her body felt alive because of the music. She leaned forward and slid her heels off her feet and she suddenly stood up and let his suit jacket fall of her shoulders and onto the bench. She took several steps forward, sashaying her hips more than usual. She stopped in the middle of the gazebo. Her hand went to her hair and pulled the pins out and shook her head to let her hair loose from their confinements and let it fall to her shoulders.

Ren just stared at her closely, following her every move, which was very graceful and yet so sexy. It shows even to the movements of her fingertips. Learning how to dance made Kyoko's body so alive and sensual. She would just have that look on her eyes or just the way her chest naturally stick out or the way her hips curved or even the moves of her fingers, and any red-blooded male would have the urge to jump her. And the one thing that drove Ren crazy was, she did not even know it, her effect on him.

Kyoko slowly turned around to face him and seconds later a voice started singing. Kyoko broke into a dance.

I bust the windows out your car

And no, it didn't mend my broken heart

I'll probably always have this ugly scars

But right now I don't care about that part

Kyoko slammed her fist into her other open-palm hand in front of her with such heated emotions. Swung her bended elbow to her side, the same with her slightly bended knee in the same direction. Then she put her left hand out like when put your car key in the ignition and circled it like driving a car. She swung her left arm like scooping something up with her left leg sliding to the side and her right leg bended. She stepped her left leg back in as her right leg step out to the side and both her hands moved out from her torso in a dive like movement. She turned to her left, stuck out her chest and bended down before facing Ren again as she rose back to her height and her hand in a snake like motion went up to wrap on her head. That left hand then clutched her heart as she turned slightly to the left and made a heartbeat motion with her chest. Her left leg step out to the side again as her hands sensually wandered down her own body and then went up to clutch her head. Her hand continued up over her head as she slowly dragged her left leg back in while her head trashed from side to side.

I bust the windows out your car

After I saw laying next to her

I didn't wanna but I took my turn

I'm glad I did it; cause you had to learn

She did the first two movements she did the first time. Then, she turned to her left again and bended down. This time she went up with the front of her torso first with her head hanging back which made it so sexy. She turned back to face Ren and she leaned forward and moved her head to her right in a circular motion while her hips did the same slowly towards the opposite direction. Then she did that American shrug Ren used, which ticked her off so much, with an equally smug expression. Ren could not help but bark out a laugh at the gesture. Then she pointed both her index fingers and put both on her temple and slowly trailed it down the sides of her face as her hips swayed her hips from side to side every step she took backward.

I must admit it helped a little bit

To think of how you'd feel when you saw it

I didn't know that I had that much strength

But I'm glad you see what happens when

Ren could not take his eyes off of her as she continued dancing. Ren's neck tie felt like it was too tight and the shirt too hot. He slowly loosened his neck tie before he finally took it off. He then unbuttoned three buttons of his dress shirt. He knew the song hit much closer to home for her and she was wonderfully interpreting it in her dance. But he did not really mind, she was dancing in front of him, for him and looking only at him. He was mesmerized by her movements, it became more and more alive with the song. She moved faster with complicated steps but gracefully and fluidly as if she was really in tune or one with the music. They had heard this song many times during their dance lessons. The first time was when they were instructed by their dance instructors to watch every dance movies they possibly could so they would learn from it and at the same time spend time with each other so that they would be comfortable together.

You see you can't just play with people's feelings

Tell them you love them and don't mean it

You'll probably say that it was juvenile

But I think that I deserve to smile

Kyoko twirled around in a ballet like twirl and when she stopped she slowly lowered herself as her right leg slid slowly out to her side and her arms stretched up over her head. Then she snapped her leg back in and her hands clutched her heart as she lowered her head hiding her face with her hair. Then motioned her hands as if wrenching her heart out with both her hand to her right. She stepped to her right with her upper body moving snake-like with it and back to her left again in the same motion. Her upper body did a circular motion with her head as her hair flew with the motion. She then walked three steps towards him and posed, both hands on her hips as she tossed her head to the side and smirked. And he decided it was now his turn.

I bust the windows out your car

You know I did 'cause I left my mark

Wrote my initials with a crow bar

And then I drove up into the dark

Ren walked up to Kyoko and stopped just three of four feet away from her. Then, suddenly broke into a dance as the artist started singing. His right arm bended straight to the side causing his hand to touch his chest. He swung it to the side with his knee bended a little and swung at the same time with his arm kind of like Kyoko's step. He did it twice and his left foot stepped forward as he bowed down his upper body. Then jumped straight up with his left arm up and legs open. Facing his right, he jumped twice switching positions of both legs. Both hands on his heart, he moved his head and neck in a circular motion counter clockwise. He took a step back and brought his two hands up, face level. He turned to face Kyoko again and stretched both hands straight to the sides. Right foot took a step forward and with his right forearm in front of him like a shield. He swung his right arm to the side twice, bowed down, turned around and jumped like the first three steps. He took as step forward, his back facing Kyoko. Turned around to face her again as he took a step to his left. He leaned his upper body to his right side. His right hand went up over his head and down to his chest with his eyes and head following it. He turned around again and turned to his side again, took two steps forward and did a mocked manly copy of Kyoko's ballet like twirls.

I bust the windows out your car

You should feel lucky that was all I did

After 5 whole years of this bullshit

Gave you all of me and you played with it

He stopped his twirl to the side and brought his right hand and leg up suddenly dropped them down and stepped back and turned around from Kyoko again. Feet far apart, right hand bended up near his head and did a spring like motion of bending his knees, right hand and head up and down twice and turned to face Kyoko again. Two steps to his left, his left hand circled his head and joined his right hand on his chest, arms bended straight out to the side. He twirled, two turns. When he stopped, both his hands were clutching his head. He turned to his right and took a step back and did the spring like motion again. Then, took a step towards Kyoko and looked at her cockily, like his trying to make a fight. He took hold of his shirt between his thumb and index finger. He pulled it out and then let go of it in a cocky manner. He turned around and then, stepped to his left with his hand bended straight to the side and upper body leaning to that side. He did again in front of him. Bended arms in line in front of him and hands under his chin, he slowly bent down.

Ren was enjoying himself as Kyoko watched him continue dancing intently. He loved it when he felt her eyes on him. It gave him the thrill. And that cocky gesture before, earned him a cute pout. He really loved teasing her and trying to get new and cute reactions from her. He liked it even more when sometimes her eyes looked like they were undressing him. He did not know whether she knew she looked at him like that sometimes or not, but he was not about tell her that. His mind was going into a dangerous territory, so he focused back in dancing the chorus of the song. After this, it's going to be her turn, Ren thought.

But it don't comfort to my broken heart

You could never feel how I felt that day

Until it happens, baby, you don't know pain

Kyoko felt exhilarated as she stood there and watched Ren dance in front of her. He flashed her a boyish grin and she knew it was now her turn and she just knew what to do with all her excitement. She closed her eyes for a second and opened as she started to krump. She focused on all her hatred for Sho and let it all out in her moves. She was so close to Ren with her angry moves as if he was the one she really hate. Though he just stood still and watched her. Watched her as she swung her fist, kicked and stomped her feet but never hitting him. All the time she glared at him and at the last line of the stanza, she looked him up and down in a mocked gaze and turned to walk away.

Oh yeah, I did it, you should know it

I ain't sorry, you deserved it

After what you did to me

You deserved it, I ain't sorry no, no

Ren caught up to her and yanked her to face him and started his own krump. He stood there looking at her and they seemed to have a staring contest. But all the while his body moved, so alive. Then, he started his angry like rant moves. His body looked like he was angrily shouting at her but there were no words coming out of his mouth. Every move expressed the hatred, furious rage. But it did not scare Kyoko. It felt like it was not directed at her. She felt like it was directed at himself. When he finished his hatred fit, he stood so close to her. He stood there, his eyes showing raw vulnerability. Kyoko could not help but want to comfort him. She brought her hand up and brushed the back of her fingers on his cheek. He closed his eyes to revel on it.

You broke my heart, so I broke your car

You caused me pain, so I did the same

Even though what you did to me was much worse

I had to do something to make you hurt

For a split second the memory and feel of their skin that connected to each other seemed to last forever. But Ren's hand found its way to the back of Kyoko's thigh and slid it up to his hips causing Kyoko to cling her hand, that was caressing his cheek, to his neck. He took three slow steps back dragging Kyoko with him. Then, he dipped her suddenly making her gasp. Then, slowly and sexily straightened up. Tango proper position, together they stepped three steps to their side and went back with complicated fast steps. Kyoko stepped out of their position but one of their hands still holding each other. Kyoko twirled back into Ren's embrace. Then, with one hand holding hers, Ren twirled her again and again and again and again.

Oh, but why am I still crying

Why am I the one who's still crying?

Oh, oh, you really hurt me baby

You really, really hurt me, baby

Kyoko turned and walked with cat-like grace three steps away from Ren. He caught up to her and hugged from the back with his hand low on her stomach. Kyoko's hand snaked up around Ren's neck behind her while leaning her head back to him and closing her eyes. They took two slow steps forward in that position. Kyoko turned around and in proper tango position, they took few steps back. Ren lifted her by the waist and Kyoko lifted her legs straight line in front and the other bended but her calf and feet straight in horizontal line above the ground. Ren then started turning them around and around.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now watch me you

Now watch me you

I bust the windows out your car

Ren put her down only to scope her up again to his shoulder as she made her body in a straight horizontal line and Ren turned around. Then, brought her body down in front of him held tightly by Ren's arm on her abdomen but her feet did not touched the ground. She cling to the back of his neck and her leg bended up from the ground. The other leg, held up by Ren's arm in the air, also bended as her other arm stretched to the side. Ren let her down and she faced him. Both her arms clinging around his neck as he dragged her to the left and to the right while she was hanging and putting all her weight on him. They stepped out of their intimate embrace and they circled each other like fighters waiting for the other to make the move but in a sexy sensual way. Ren was the one who made the move first, drawing her to him by the waist. Hands in proper position, foreheads touching with each other, the continued to circle around and around as the music ended, they did a dip.

Kyoko pressed up so intimately to Ren. They were practically molded to each other. Her right leg bended and slid up to his hips as he grasped her thigh to hold it in place. Her upper body totally and freely dipping back. His other arm around her waist holding her up, so she would not lose her balance and fell flat on the floor. Her arms stretched out on each side freely like a bird. Her hair hang down with it's little waves from being turned into a bun. And Ren with feet a step forward apart to keep their balance, molded himself to her. He leaned down to her and his face settled near the valley of her breasts.

They were both breathing hard. Kyoko could feel Ren's hot breath through the thin fabric of her dress and to her skin just below her breasts. After a few seconds, Ren helped her up on her feet but did not let her go or pulled away from her. He was surprised when she stood on his shoes and not on the ground. He looked at her questioningly.

"The floor's cold." Kyoko replied breathless. Ren's lips twitched in a smile and then he threw his head back and started laughing. Oh, how he wanted to kiss her, but he did not. He just suddenly scooped her up in his arms, princess style, and he turned her around and around still laughing out loud until they were dizzy and flopped back to the bench. Kyoko's arms automatically went around his neck and she bury her head in the crook of his neck. She smiled secretly even though she did not understand why he was laughing, but she was happy because he was happy.

The end…

Or is it?

Unbeknownst to the two love birds. There were cameras around the gazebo hidden in the tall hedges and even inside the gazebo itself. Everything was caught on tape. After the guard let them in, he informed Sebastian through radio transmission that the two went into the maze and to the gazebo. The purpose of the guards were not because of the lame excuse of people getting lost, it was to keep other people out except for the two favorite actors of the president.

There really was not any privacy if you were a celebrity, especially if you have a flamboyant, eccentric president who was obsessed with love.

Not a chance at all...

I hope you liked it and hope it isn't so confusing as the other one. And this has much more story than the other… and longer too. I know, it may feel like you want more or maybe Kyoko and Ren kiss but well, Ren's gay… lol or maybe the most coward man on the world of manga. Seriously, I just don't have a solid plot and I don't wanna throw a definite move into it. So, you'll just have to do with the two of them, hot and heavy on the dance floor… lol ^_^ anyways, thanks so for supporting me and reading, reviewing, liking, alerting, fav-ing my fanfics. I'm gonna go start on the next chapter of TGE and maybe… and epilogue on Reincarnation… Just maybe… ^_^ see yah!
