Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the story so far, it is my first one but I am trying to make it as interesting as I can. I had 2 flights this weekend, so I had couple of hours stuck sitting in the plane and decided to make them useful, therefore I have updated the story earlier than planned. Hope you will like this chapter and once again thank you all for your favs, reviews and follows, they really motivate me, when I fell lazy about writing the story! :)

Kyoko and Ren were in elevator going to the underground floor, when it suddenly stopped. Then, just to make it all worse, the lights have gone off. The two were left standing in a complete darkness, with no idea when they would be free.

Kyoko let out a shriek. The darkness didn't really scare her, but it was all so sudden, that she couldn't help it. Looks, like today is not my day Now I am going to be late to my shoot, and if the mechanics do not hurry up, Tsuruga-san is going to be late as well. She sighed heavily, leaning tiredly against the wall. What was she supposed to do in such a situation, such a waste of time. Then a sudden feel of de javu came over her. I can t help but think, that I've seen this situation somewhere already, now where was it? She stood there trying to remember, when Ren s worried voice came from the opposite side of a dark trap, called elevator.

«Are you all right, Mogami-san?»

And then it hit her. It is such a shojo manga moment, I swear it is - the girl is scared, the guy calms her down and bla-bla-bla love and happy ending... Ugh, should I give it a try? There is nothing to loose anyway. She prepared herself, came up with few basic phrases and started acting.

«Tsuruga-san! Where are you, I can t see anything»

She spoke in a scared voice, searching for him with her hands. The she felt her hand land on his cheek, hurriedly then going down, hugging him, with her hand clutching his shirt on his back. She pressed her face into his chest, just bellow his collarbones and sighed with relief.

REN S POV

When the elevator stopped and they got trapped in the dark box his thought rushed to Kyoko. Is she all right? Is she afraid of darkness, what if she is claustrophobic?! When he heard her sobbing voice, he became even more worried, his heart hurting at the knowledge of her distress. Then he felt her small warm arm on his face, his heart skipping a beat at a sudden contact. He felt it going down his chest and behind his back, than he felt her body with his. She was pressed tightly against him, hugging him herself. Her face against his chest, her warm, rapid breath heating his skin through clothing. Ren drew his breath, not daring to move, his fists tightly clenched by his sides. But then as initial shock passed, he slowly, uncertainly brought his hands up to her waist, circling them around her, claiming Kyoko in his safe tight embrace. His head went to rest on her shoulder, nuzzling neck, finally releasing his long-held breath and taking in the sweet scent of hers. She fit in his arms perfectly.

«I am here, everything is going to be alright Kyoko.»

KYOKO'S POV

The situation, she put herself into was far past what the proper Japanese maiden would consider acceptable, but she couldn't help, but want to stay in his tight, warm embrace forever. His breath on her neck, made her skin cover with goose bumps and the way he whispered her name against her ear made her blood rush to her face. Thank God it was dark and he wouldn't be able to see her blushing. She was starting to wonder who was seducing who now. However, despite such an intimate moment between them, she felt the calmest ever. His hold on her giving her the needed protection. She knew he would always be there for her, when needed. All of her worries went away. She snuggled her head into his chest, staying still and quite for a few moments, or maybe few hours she didn t know and she didn't t care. Her deep locked feelings for him were coming out and she couldn't t think of anything else other than him. She knew she loved Tsuruga Ren more than sempai or a friend, and she hid it well, but just for now she was going to give into this moment, let her weakness come out. Just this once, just a few more minutes, please don't go.

«I will never leave you»

Deep husky voice mumbled just over her ear, his embrace tightening on her, his right hand moving up from her waist into her hair, brushing it softly and pulling her to him.

Oh God, I just said it out loud... It is not right, I must never give into this horrible feeling again, especially not with him. I can't ruin what we have between us. I can't loose him. She raised her head, as if she was looking into Ren's face. She couldn't see him, couldn't see his eyes, but she knew he hadn't lied or used it just to calm her down. He was dead serious.

Everybody left her through time. Her parents left her, Sho left her, but now, she knew he was never going to do so, and this was too much for her wounded heart. Unconsciously she lifted her hand to his cheek, rubbing it slightly. She heard him gasp in surprise from her sudden gesture. «Thank you» she whispered so quietly that he could hardly hear her, and than she went on her tiptoes and placed a soft kiss on his jaw. It lasted only a moment, until she realized what she has done. She froze and than tried to pull away from him, but the strong hold of his hands wouldn't let her. He held her strongly against himself, his right hand moving to cup her cheek, sliding down, finding her lips with a thumb. He moved closer, even if she could not see him, she could now feel his breath on her lips, as he whispered to her.

«I mean it»

He leaned in even closer, she could almost feel their lips touching, Just one more moment, just a little bit. Their lips has just grazed as the sudden noise came from outside, lights coming back and elevator moving again.
