Chapter 11

Ren came out of the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel. He slowly went to the closet to change and paused at the door. Kyoko was in the closet kneeling on the floor, clutching her head and a shouting in protest look in her face. He quickly went to her and bend down in front of her. "Mogami-san, are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

While in the shower, Ren was tightening his loosened leash tightly, going back to Tsuruga Ren mode because he knew it was dangerous to let himself loose during the night. He might do something he would regret.

"Eh?" Kyoko's eye's focusing on her sempai. "R-ren?" Ren's heart jumped in joy but he suppressed it. Just noticing what her sempai called her, she realized he wasn't in character anymore. "I mean Tsuruga-san. I'm okay." She said quickly and sneakily hiding the one of the lingerie she was holding behind her back. But it was a little bit too late. "We don't have to go on with our acting, Tsuruga-san?" she asked trying really hard to turn Ren's attention away from what she was hiding behind her back.

"Do you want to?" Ren retorted and an amused smile slowly graced his lips.

"No." Kyoko replied as soon as Ren finished the question, which hurt him because she replied flat out.

"We don't have to be in character when we're in here inside. It was just a practice today, so that we can bring it out anytime it is needed." He explained, still in the his bended position. "Just don't forget to wear your wig when someone knock and you open the front door." He finished and straightened up from his bended position.

Kyoko was seeing Ren's face as he bended low to her face level while they were talking, but as he straighten up it was replaced by small towel covered waist. She blushed tomato red instantly lowered her head. Ren walked to his side of the wall, which is away from where Kyoko was facing. He picked his pajamas and got dressed before turning his attention to the red faced Kyoko's problem earlier.

"So Mogami-san, what was your problem earlier?" Kyoko's head snapped up and she instinctively clutched the lingerie in her hand, which she hid behind her, to her chest.

"N-nothing, really." She replied nervously.

"Really?" He asked in a whisper near her ear from her back. She felt his hot breath on the back of her neck and she shivered involuntarily. She felt like the demon lord was waiting for her at her back looking down at her with piercing eyes and she gave in. She turned her body around in a single move and prostrated in front of him.

"I'm so sorry, Tsuruga-san!" She continued prostrating. "But I couldn't find any of my pajamas, including the one in your apartment that I bought the other day. And the only thing I found was a drawer full of this." She said in a pitiful voice as she held up in front of her the lingerie she was hiding before.

Now what man could resist and keep his cool together when a beautiful, cute girl in front of you looking about to cry, holding up a sexy lingerie, you could imagine her in it and complaining about it as if she was trying to seduce you. Apparently, the man of self-control and the prince of gentleman-ness, Tsuruga Ren can, even if it was the woman (or girl, which he desperately tried to think of her that way, a high school girl) he love. But not before imagining her in that sexy lingerie for a full second and some other dirty thoughts he was trying not to think of.

"Maybe they put it in my side because it was from my apartment." He said and went to look for it in his side of the wall and ripped his eyes from looking at her with that sexy lingerie held in front of her. While he was looking, Kyoko noticed that his hair was still wet and dripping a little. Kyoko's motherly instinct kicked in.

"Tsuruga-san, You should properly dry your hair after bath or you might get a cold like last time." She scolded him. Ren froze in his bended position while opening a drawer as Kyoko took the towel draped on his neck and started drying his hair. He froze because when he turned to her, he had a nice view of her cleavage. The feeling of her sexy little hands massaging his hair was driving him crazy and every time he looks at her, he was seeing her in that tiny garment she just showed him.

His dirty train of thoughts were interrupted when he heard her say it was all done. He robotically opened a drawer and handed her one of his plain white T-shirts. "You can use this for now, Mogami-san. We'll buy PJs for you tomorrow." He said with an unreadable expression. "You should go take a shower now, it's getting late."

Kyoko who was kind of confused of the atmosphere just now, unconsciously obeyed and went to the bathroom. She prepared the tub. She took off her wig and wash off her make up and took a bath. After minutes of a very relaxing bath, Kyoko came out of the tub, brushed her teeth and started to get dress. But she realized that she didn't brought her underwear with her. So she shyly put on Ren's T-shirt. The sleeves went down her elbow and the rest went down just above her knees. But it wasn't too comfortable because it was too breezy down there and she hugged herself.

She stuck her head out of the bathroom door to see if Ren was inside their bedroom. The room was clear and she ran out of the bathroom to the closet. She closed the closet doors and went to put on her underwear. She was too shy to go out there in that get up and decided that she'll just sleep in there. She found her futon on her side of the wall and laid it out and laid on it.

She tried to sleep but she just kept tossing from side to side. And she noticed that it was already half an hour and Ren still hadn't come in the bedroom and went to sleep in his bed. She got up and peeked at the closet door. He wasn't there in the room. She slowly made her way out. She went to the living room. It was dim because the light was turned off and the only light illuminating the room was coming from a small light in the kitchen and she forgot where the switch was in this new place. She felt her way to the room by touching the walls and finding the switch that way.

The scene in Ren's guest bedroom, flashed through her mind and she blushed. 'So you won't searched around with your hands and touch sensitive objects…' Ren's words echoed in her mind. He really does enjoy teasing me. She pouted. Giving up on trying to find the light switch on that side of the wall, she went toward in which she thought was the center of the room. She made a few steps and her leg hit something hard. "Ow, ow, ow, ow…" She chanted as she clutched and rubbed where her leg hit the hard thing.

The light turned on and she froze. Her head mechanically turn to where the light was coming from. Beside the lamp on the side table of the couch was Ren looking all alert and concerned. Kyoko immediately put her leg down, stood straight and tried to cover herself with her hands. "Mogami-san? I thought you were already asleep in the bedroom."

Kyoko just started taking in her surrounding as her eyes adjusted to the light. Ren was sitting with his legs stretched on the couch and a blanket covering from waist to legs. "Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko asked disregarding his question. "What are you doing here with a blanket? Are you going to sleep?" She looked at him questioningly. "But you have your bed in the bedroom."

"I can't let you sleep here or in the floor, if I'm going to sleep on the bed." Ren argued.

"But I can't let you, The Tsuruga Ren, sleep in the couch in his own place." Kyoko argued back.

"But this OUR place now, Mogami-san."

"But that is your bed, so you should sleep on it."

"But I can't let a girl, especially you, sleep on the floor, while I, a guy, sleep on a huge comfy bed."

"Why not? Besides, my whole life I've been sleeping on the floor with my futon. That's normal for Japanese people." Ren sighed. He would never win this one if he won't make a hard decision and a little compromising.

"Okay, if you don't want me to sleep here, and I don't want you to sleep on the couch or on the floor with your futon maybe already laid out in our closet," Kyoko was startled by Ren's correct guess and Ren sighed when he saw her reaction. "Why don't we just share the bed?" Ren slowly said the words for her to understand him as he speak. Kyoko's eyes widened as she slowly shook her head.

"I-I-I c-can't do that."

"Why not? We already shared a bed before." Kyoko blushed. I'm really asking to be tortured all night. Ren thought to himself. But her stubbornness is just like a mountain. You can't move it, you have to climb over it. "Twice actually."

"B-b-but the first one wasn't intentional and the second one was necessary for the safety of the baby." She was still buying Ren's lame excuse.

"Then we'll just have to put pillow between us and the bed is huge, right?"

"Bu-"

"What are you worried about? I'm not going to do anything to you." Then his evil smirk was slowly appearing on his face. "Not like someone who's searching in the dark with their hands and touching sensitive objects." Kyoko's blush turned double shade of red in her whole face and starting to go down her neck. "In fact I should be the one who should be so worried about sharing a bed with you." He continued. Kyoko's head finally blew up.

"TSURUGA-SAN! You're so mean!" Kyoko yelled angrily. But to Ren, she just looked so cute and adorable with her red face yelling like angrily, especially in an outfit like that. He ended up bursting into laughter, because otherwise, he might do something he shouldn't do. But this only upset Kyoko even more and she went to their bedroom with angry footsteps. She wanted so much to slammed the door but she realized that that would wake the baby up.

"Wait… hahaha Mo..gami..san haha…" He tried to stop her and wanted to apologize to her but he couldn't control his laughter.

But they still ended up sharing the bed though, with pillows lined down between them and the lampshade light on. Just in case…
