Okay guys! Sorry I haven't been updating recently! I DO have things to work for in life, you know! (Straight A report card, my first once since 1st grade :) (Darn those honor rolls!))

Anywho, sorry for ze cliffhanger. I promise this chappie, since it will be SUPER LONG if I can help it, will make up for it :)

By the way, I am having a contest for ALL OF MY STORIES! Yep. Basically, I want you guys to review for me or PM me with your questions for the Characters, me, your dog, My dog, ANYONE! ;D?

I'll pick the best questions. Anywho, Enjoy and review! (By the way, the more reviews I get, the more I check my phone. The more I check my phone the more I remember to update!)

~~~Kyoko's POV~~~

Oh my god. Why was Ren even there? I could've sworn his car wasn't parked out front, I even checke—

I stopped. I didn't check the back parking lot! My mind was racing, a blur as everything Reino shoved into my head spun around, flames of fear licking at my belly.

~~Flashback~~

"Kyoko—He's a murderer."

What? No. Reino had to be lying; HE WAS WRONG!

I crumbled to the ground, on my hands and knees as he knelt before me, lightly stroking my hair. It felt as if I would never get enough air, my heart constricting into a huge mass of pain and grief.

"You're… lying…" I choked out, unable to speak as I felt something shift inside me, forcing me to believe what he said.

'Reino… I don't think he would lie to me about something this serious!' I thought, my mind spinning at his four words he spoke. 'Even if he's a bad guy, this would just be…cruel!'

"He was in a gang, Kyoko." Reino went on, shifting to sit beside me and pat me on the back. "He killed an innocent bystander in a drive-by."

"YOU'RE LYING!" I screamed, forcing myself to my feet as I grabbed my bag, turning to run. My feet slammed against the pavement, but I quickly fell to the ground again as Reino harshly grasped my wrist and yanked me backwards.

"You didn't REALLY think I'd let you get away without the whole story, did you?" Reino chuckled, before going on. "He killed several other people in the same drive-by, as well as a man who was like a father to him."

"STOP IT!" I screamed, slapping his cheek so hard that my hands stung as I took off into the night, leaving behind a stunned Reino.

~~Back to Present~~

I don't want to believe Reino at all; but why would he lie to me about this? My heart felt like it was torn apart; just like when Shou said that about me…

'Stop it!' I thought, slapping myself as I slammed into a random dressing room. Thankfully, nobody was in there as I went into the corner and sunk down to the ground where hopefully, nobody would find me.

'Why did Reino even tell me that? Is he trying to warn me about something…?' I began to think, then my Inner-voice slapped my consciousness so hard my world was spinning.

'REN WOULD NEVER KILL ANYBODY YOU IDIOT!' She screamed, but I ignored her. She called me a whore!

Really and truly, I wanted to believe Ren didn't kill anybody. I wanted to believe that he was a really nice guy, and that he didn't think I was a whore. After what happened in the Hotel… and me running from him just now… I wouldn't be surprised if he never spoke to me again.

My heart felt as if it was wrenched out of my chest at the thought; the ache was ever so familiar, but I couldn't remember where I felt it at. What was this peculiar feeling…?

All of a sudden, a brunette man walked into the room, slamming the door before taking off his shirt and slamming it onto the table, undoing his belt buckle.

'OH MY GOD! IT'S REN'S DRESSING ROOM!'

He seemed to be angry, but instead of his composed self, he was like another person entirely.

"What did I do to her…!? Whatever it was… GOD I'm such an idiot…!" He said, turning around and leaning against the vanity, running his hand through his hair before he noticed me, staring wide-eyed at him in the corner.

I could tell from the mirror I had tears in my eyes, but I wasn't crying anymore. Instead, I was staring wide-eyed at him.

He looked good… I mean, I guess I had seen him in magazines without his shirt on… but in person? I hadn't really gotten a chance to look at him in the hotel room.

He had nice muscles and abs; he basically looked like one of those people who everyone envies secretly. After a while, I realized I was staring at him, my inner-voice screaming at me.

'HE'S GONNA THINK YOU'RE A BIGGER WHORE! STOP IT!' She screamed, jumping up and down at me and slapping me, but all I could do then was keep my eyes glued to his.

"Kyoko… I…" He said, starting towards me with sincerity in his eyes before he knelt before me, looking me dead in the eyes.

Whatever he was going to say, I cut him off the only way I knew how. I knew if he spoke, everything in my heart would break, as he had broken the last lock I had way before now.

I kissed him full of the lips, springing from my position in front of him as my Inner-voice told me to stop. I didn't want to, though; something deep inside of me began to boil, my heart racing beneath my skin as he responded to the kiss, pressing me against the wall.

'I hope that… after this, he still doesn't think I'm a…' My thoughts trailed off, my mind reeling as he kissed me back with a primal passion, growling softly in the back of his throat.

Ren's POV~~

I slammed into the Dressing room, cursing myself excessively. How could I frighten her so much? I had no idea what in the hell I did, but it had to of been something terrible.

I whipped off my shirt with ease, turning around to lean up against the little make-up desk that was there for whenever I had to go under bright stage lights. Other than that I wore no makeup, as I am a guy, after all.

I ran my fingers through my hair, cursing softly under my breath before I noticed a small figure in the corner, avidly staring at my chest. Well, I wasn't surprised. She probably hadn't seen many men shirtless up close before, after all.

She still had tears in her eyes, and I saw a flash of fear flit through her gaze before her eyes locked with mine.

"Kyoko…?" I said, cautiously walking forward. When she didn't jerk away from me, I knelt in front of her, my voice a bare whisper. "I…"

All of a sudden, she leapt, kissing me without restraint. I was surprised; I could have sworn she was afraid or mad at me…

As soon as she kissed me, I fell out of my little 'Tsuruga Ren' role. I didn't really mean to, but my mind was reeling. I never thought she could break me… so easily.

I kissed her back harder, turning us in a flash so that I was on top of her, pressing her into the carpet, growling softly at her when she returned the kiss with equal vigor.

I pulled quickly away from her, panting heavily as I leaned against the tall ceiling-to-ground wardrobe behind me as she did the same against the wall.

"I… I'm sorry…" She whispered, burying her head in her knees. "A…a whore… like… me… doesn't deserve to… kiss you… like that." She hiccupped out, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs.

My eyes widened at her words.

'What in the hell was she thinking?! A whore? My innocent Kyoko?' I growled in my head, and I could feel my eyes darken with rage as I pushed her to the ground again, straddling her as I leaned on my elbows over her.

"What the hell are you saying, Kyoko?" I growled, all of my self-restraint out the window as she gulped beneath me.

"Is this about Shou calling you a fucking whore? You are far from that; In fact, I never want to hear you call yourself that again. What in the hell made you think you were a whore? For getting into character?" I said, my voice a wrathful yet calm tone as I spoke.

"N-no… It was… The fact that I... Enjoyed it and let Setsu… get out of hand…" She whispered, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked into my eyes, a flash of fear passing through her eyes as her eyes unglazed from desire.

"Is what… Reino… told me… true? Did you r-really… kill somebody?" She whispered, her voice barely audible, my eyes widening slightly at her question.

"Kyoko…" I said, my mouth open before I figured out what I was going to say.
