PLEASE PLEASE review, I absolutely love them, good and bad. I strive to get better! Thank you for reading. Xoxoxox

Chapter: Dreams? Or nightmares?

Kyoko pov

'WHY?! WHYYYY?! WHY DID I SAY YES?! AM I NUTS?! Oh wait…. Scratch that.' I am currently in my room at Duramayu and struggling with the fact that I said yes to a date. 'What's the use of even trying to love? In the end it never seems to help get through lifes broken dreams. I know I am in love with Ren but… I just can't find the resolve to openly love him. Not after Sho.'

Suddenly nausea wipes over me. 'I went to long without sleeping, an hour won't hurt. Let's hope the nightmares don't come.' I lay down in my futon after setting an alarm and let my sleep take me away.

Dream

I was running. Running fast as I could. They were right behind me, I could feel it. Voices could be heard behind me. 'Faster… I need to run faster' My mind keeps telling me to run faster through the streets of a small town. No one can hear my loud scream as a body tackled me down. Cuffs chained my hands and feet. 'No no no.' I started shrieking bloody murder hoping someone would hear me, but no one did. "DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK! I DON'T WANT TO! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! HELP!" My cries were stuffled up as a bag was thrown over my head, blinding me from the lights of Tokyo ahead of me. I was so close this time.

Kyoko pov

I woke up with tears running down my face and in a cold sweat. Crying I lifted myself off the floor and into my chair to look into the mirror where my reflection showed. 'It has been so long… Why? These memories, I was a terrified little girl back then. Everyday is the same, I fight and fight this pain.'

I started cleaning up my appearance and looked at the clock: 7:30. Enough time to get to LME. After looking at my appearance one more time I left and started walking towards LME. Walking I look at all the people who are enjoying the beginning of the night. 'I hope I don't look too pale. These nightmares are getting to me.'

Finally arriving at LME I walk into the lobby to find a casual dressed Ren. He took my breath away, someone like him… was going on a date with me? He looks at me and smiles. Running up I say, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting! How long have you been waiting?" He only chuckles and leads me towards the garage, "Oh Magomi-san you are fine. I was just early, its ok." I look him in the eyes and decide to drop it and get in the sports car.

He drove down a couple blocks to a small café. Inside the homey feeling was so refreshing, I love small cafés like this. I smile when I see the cutest booth which we head too. When we sit a waitress comes up to us and hands us menus. Looking through I realize, i'm not going to be able to eat. 'Well crap.'

Ren pov

I was skimming through the menu when I looked up to a startled Kyoko. "Is everything alright Mogami-san?" I ask with concern. She looks up, even more startled. She finally processes what I ask and replies, "Oh yes… I'm fine. I just remembered that I have to do something important when I get home." I look at her curiously. 'What would be so important for her to be startled?'

"What could that be Magomi-san?" I ask with clear curiosity showing. Her eyes widen and look down. "Oh… I um…" she clearly started to say obviously trying to come up with something. "Magomi-san what is the real reason you looked so startled?" I ask. I obviously know she doesn't need to do anything important when she gets home. She can be a good actor but when it comes to lying, she honestly sucks.

"Well.. I… I am not that hungry and i… um…" she stumbled. 'Oh so that's all, good.' "I am honestly not that hungry either, how about two coffees and a walk in the park," I suggest while hoping she will say yes. She looks uneasy but complies.

Coffees in hand, we head to the park. I can't help but stare at her, she is just so beautiful. 'How could no guy ever notice her beauty? Well, they better not now but…' That is when I notice, she is pale. Like REALLY pale. 'Is she not feeling alright? Is she tired?' "Magomi-san are you alright? You look pale," I ask and comment. Her head snaps up quick to look me in the eyes. It was an 'aw crap' look that she gives when she caught doing something bad or anything really.

"Well i.." she began but her legs gave way and she fell. I snap into action and ketch her from hitting the ground, both are coffees hit the ground. "Kyoko! Kyoko! Are you alright?!" she didn't respond. I start to shake her and keep yelling her name. No one is in the park around this time at night so the park is deserted. "Kyoko! Please respond!" I keep yelling. 'No nononono please respond.' After a couple moments I hear a, "I like when you use my first name…."

"Oh my God you freaking scared me Kyoko. Thank the Lord," I say as I hold her bridal style. Letting out a sigh I start walking to my car. 'Well, I am not letting her be by herself like this. Off to my apartment we go.'

At Ren's apartment still Ren's pov

Opening up the door to my apartment I hold a passed out Kyoko. Apparently it's not strange for a male to walk up to his apartment with a passed out girl in his arms, I still wonder what's wrong with society these days. I swiftly lay Kyoko on the coach. 'Now that I'm here… Now what?' I head for my room to change into comfy clothes.

After I come back out to a still passed out Kyoko I sit on the same couch at the top of her head. I slowly drift to sleep while staring at the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Mission accomplished.

OK. I plan the future chapters to be more dramatic and such. Tell me what you think and review. I absolutely loves reviews. xoxoxoxo
