Hi everyone! Sorry that this chapter is being posted a bit late. This past week was a little hectic.

Before anything else I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Dragon Spirit 10 and Sylvia-of-wings, who have taken time out of their busy lives to help me edit this fan fiction. I seriously don't know what I would do without you two. Thank you so much.

I'd also like to thank everyone that has taken the time to read, favorite, follow, and review this fan fiction. I am extremely grateful and glad that you are enjoying this fan fiction.

Here is chapter eleven. I hope that you all like it. In this chapter there are a few Russian words. I don't speak Russian. So I had to look up how to write them and how to pronounce the letters used. I hope that I got everything correct. I very sorry if I didn't. Chapter twelve will be posted in one week.

Kyoko's Lessons

Ren and Kyoko arrived at LME at ten past one. They walked in the front door and saw Sebastian immediately. He was wearing a police uniform styled after the uniforms police officers wore in 1879 Japan.

'If that is what Sebastian is wearing I wonder what President Takarada is wearing.' Thought Ren as he and Kyoko made their way over to Sebastian.

Sebastian bowed slightly and gestured for them to follow him. They did so silently and soon they reached the door of the training room. Sebastian unlocked it and held it open for them. Kyoko went in first and turned on the lights. The room was about the size of a basketball court. Sitting on a table just next to the door was laser-tag equipment for two people, a small white board, a dry erase marker, and an eraser.

Ren walked in after Kyoko and turned back to Sebastian. Sebastian silently handed him the key to the training room and left. Ren closed the door and locked it so that no one could walk in on them. He really didn't want people to know how much President Takarada was helping him and Kyoko with preparing for the laser-tag game.

"Okay, so now that we are here what do we do?"

"Well we can start with testing the laser-tag equipment or I can show you the small amount a Russian I want to teach you?"

Kyoko looked up at Ren confused. "Why do you want to teach me Russian?"

Ren took her hand and sat down pulling her with him. They sat next to each other with their clasped hands between them. "It was actually Boss' idea. He said that it would make it easier to take out our opponents because if they heard us talking they wouldn't be able to understand what we're saying."

"That makes sense but isn't Russian a hard language to learn? You really don't have a lot of time to teach me. And I'm not sure how easy it will be for me to learn Russian."

Kyoko was starting to look worried so Ren let go of her hand and put his arm around her shoulders instead.

"It is a difficult language but I'm only going to teach you a few words. I think that during most of the game we should use English."

"Okay, but why use English and not just Japanese?" Kyoko was looking confused again.

"I guess Boss didn't talk to you about this bit. He wants us to use aspects of the Heel siblings during this game. It would make it harder for people to get close to use and make us lose. Also he said that it would be good closure from Cain and Setsu. Since they won't be going to the end of filming party and it won't be revealed that we are Cain and Setsu for a few months at least."

Kyoko nodded, "that makes sense."

"What's wrong? You seem upset about something."

"I just... I'm just going to miss being Setsu. She was fun."

Ren smiled at her and kissed you cheek before responding. "Setsu is part of you, Kyoko. You can bring her out whenever you want to."

"Will you be Nii-san when I want you to?"

Ren gave a smirk very similar to Cain's. "Do you miss your big brother?"

Kyoko blushed and looked down mumbling, "a little."

Ren smiled and gently lifted her head. He gave her a tender kiss on the lips and said, "do you want your brother to come out to play right now?"

Kyoko looked embarrassed for a second then her facial expression changed to a look of semi-dark coyness. "Nii-san will you teach me how to play laser-tag? I've never done it before."

Immediately Cain thrust Ren out of the way. "And why does my cute little sister want to play laser-tag?"

Setsu gave a small, cute shrug. "It seems fun."

"It can be, depending on who you're playing with. And how you're playing."

"Will you teach me to play the way you do? I bet you know the best way to play and win."

In answer Cain stood up, bringing Setsu with him, and walked to the table that had the laser-tag equipment. He picked up the smaller of the sensor vests and put it on his sister. He then smirked, "looks good on you. You look so cute no one will want to point their laser-gun at you. And if they do I'll shoot them with a laser first."

Setsu pouted at that. "Nii-san you can't have all the fun. I want to shoot some lasers at people too."

Can patted her head. "Don't worry I'll leave as many people for you as you want."

Setsu grinned and picked up her gun while Cain put his vest on. Setsu glanced at Cain once he had his vest one and smirked sexily.

"You look better in that than what you wore when doing that movie with these annoying Japanese people. You look like a sexy soldier." Setsu was smirking when she said this but then suddenly frowned.

Her frown made Cain worry. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want other girls to see you this way. They will fawn all over you like that stupid little hamster. And you're mine."

Cain hugged Setsu close to him. "You won't have to worry about those annoying little brats. I won't let them touch me. You are the only girl for me and the only one that I'll let near me. And I won't let any man other than me touch you. You are mine."

Setsu squeezed her brother and then stepped holding up her gun. "Are you going to teach me?"

Cain silently picked up his gun and turned it on. He then reached over and turned Setsu's on as well. "I believe that the basics are rather self explanatory. There is a sensor on the front of our vests and on the back. I'm guessing that Lory has it set up so that a sensor gets hit once and you're dead. But I guess we'll find out."

"Sounds simple enough." Setsu quickly raised her gun and shot at Cain before he had a chance to react.

Cain raised his eyebrows at her and looked down at his vest. A red light was blinking down near his right hip. "I guess that means that I'm out. Shoot my vest again to see."

Setsu quickly complied but nothing else seemed to happen. Cain raised his gun and pulled the trigger but again nothing happened. "Well that answers that."

Setsu sighed.

"What?"

"If people can only be shot in a sensor once before they're out I doubt this game will be very fun or long." She started pouting.

"That's why it's only fun if you play and if you don't play with idiots and are actually smart."

Cain turned off his gun and took off his vest. Setsu did the same. They then sat down and started talking about how was the best to win and who would prove to be actual worthy opponents. They talked about strategies for about an hour and a half. Setsu showing excitement at certain ideas while Cain was his usual stoic self.

After that hour and a half Setsu decided it was time to let Kyoko take control again. Cain noticed immediately and left as well.

"Well we have some good ideas. It wouldn't hurt to think of some more but for now I think that I should start teaching you some Russian." Ren stood up and went to the table to grab the white board, dry erase marker, and eraser. He wrote down a few words before rejoining Kyoko on the floor.

"What did you write?" Kyoko asked trying to look a the board.

Ren angled to board towards her a bit more so that she could see.

ЖДАТЬ – Wait

БЕЖАТЬ – Run

СТРЕЛЯТЬ - Shoot

"You aren't going to have to write any Russian but I wanted to show you what it looks like. These are most likely going to be the only words that you'll need to know."

Kyoko nodded. "How do you pronounce those words?"

Ren sounded out each letter in the words for her as he pointed to them. "Zhe-deh-a-te, beh-yeh-zhe-a-te, and s-te-er-yeh-el-ya-te."

Kyoko tried but couldn't quite get it. Ren gave her an encouraging smile and helped her sound out the words. After about ten minutes she was saying them perfectly. Making Ren lean over and kiss her one the lips.

"I always knew your were a fast learner. But you can only say them right. The hard part will be remembering what each word means correctly."

"I know. That was always the hardest part when I learned English."

"Why don't we make it a bit of a game?"

Kyoko looked at Ren quizzically. "How?"

"I'm going to erase everything that's on the board. Then rewrite the Russian but it won't be in the same order. Then you write the translations next to the words. If you get them all right I'll give you a prize."

"What happens if I get them wrong?"

"Then we erase the board and start again. We'll keep doing it until you get it right."

"Okay." Kyoko said her eyes alight with the thought of a challenge."

Ren smirked as he erased the board. And rewrote the three words.

СТРЕЛЯТЬ

ЖДАТЬ

БЕЖАТЬ

Kyoko looked at it a few minutes before writing the translations. When she handed to board back to Ren he smiled with pride. She got them all correct.

СТРЕЛЯТЬ – Shoot

ЖДАТЬ – Wait

БЕЖАТЬ – Run

"Maybe I should have chosen some more words. This didn't challenge you at all."

Kyoko blushed. "It did challenge me. I didn't know the answer straight-away. It took me a few minutes. I probably only got them right because not a lot of time passed between learning how to pronounce them and this test."

Ren set the board down and wrapped his arm around Kyoko again. "You are too modest. When Mom was teaching me Russian it took forever to remember one word." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "You truly are amazing."

Kyoko blushed even more and ducked her head.

Ren smiled and patted her head in a fashion similar to Cain. "We'll do this test again next week. I bet you'll do just as well. I think I'll add another word next, too."

"Really?" Asked Kyoko as she looked up. "You don't think I'll forget over the week?"

She looked scared of forgetting. Making Ren hug her tighter.

"If you do forget then I'll teach them to you again. I'll teach them to you as many times as it will take. But I doubt that you'll forget. Part of your job is memorizing scripts and you are amazing at that. Three words hardly make up a script."

"You're right three words don't make up a script."

"See? Nothing to worry about."

"I guess you're right. So, now what are we going to do?"

Ren smirked. Suddenly looking like Kuon even with the dark hair and brown eyes. "Now I'm going to give you your prize for getting the answers right."

Before Kyoko could do more than blink he captured her lips in a loving kiss. Holding her tight, letting her know how much she means to him.

Kyoko closed her eyes and let herself enjoy to kiss that Kuon was giving her.

Both Ren and Kyoko were so engrossed in their kiss that they didn't hear someone unlock and open the door.

Maria had heard from her grandfather that Ren and Kyoko were at LME so she decided to go say "Hi" to them. She got Sebastian to take her to where Ren and Kyoko were and used an extra key to unlock the door and let herself in. She was about to run to Ren to give him a big hug when she saw him kissing Kyoko and Kyoko kissing him back. Maria instantly froze. After a moment or two she turned around and ran from the room slamming the door behind her.
