Ok so it's been a LONG time since I've updated. I think it's been more than 6 months (wow…) Any who I'm proud to say I'm back since the seasons are changing to spring and I have free time (finally) plus I've been inspired again. So for my old fans you are probably wondering what actually happened in the fanfic? So I shall give you a brief summary of what actually happened

Summary: So Kyoko shows up to Ren early in the morning (if I remember correctly) and tells him that she has to leave because her mother has come to fetch her. Ren battles it out in his heart and asks Kyoko to marry him. But he convinces her only by saying that after she turns the appropriate age they can divorce. So Kyoko says yes! And then they head off to the Lory's house. There Ren gives her a pep talk about portraying a couple right and bam! They kiss. Lol more passionately than either of them really expected but hey you can't blame a guy for keeping his feelings inside for so long. So during their little moment of romance Saena pops up and someway somehow Ren is able to talk her into signing marriage papers. But Ren has to pay for Kyoko. I think a few million in American dollars. She leaves satisfied. Kyoko finds out Ren is really Kuon Hizuri.

Ren and Kyoko think they don't have to be a couple anymore after that night but Lory has sneakily made plans. He makes another rule for the employees that they must live with the person they're married to. So Kyoko moves into Ren's apartment. Kyoko feels bad because she then remembers that Ren loves someone! So she goes in search for many jobs to stay away and make sure she gets money to pay Ren back.

So I'll stop talking so you can start reading! PLEASE REVIEW! I cannot STRESS that enough. It helps me write and I'm selfish but aren't we all?

Disclaimer: I will never own skip beat no matter how much I like to imagine or write crazy stories about Kyoko and Ren.

Chapter 4- Mother Nature's monthly gifts

Ren looked at the counter. He sighed. It wasn't unexpected but sometimes he just wished that they could actually have a meal together. He mentally slapped himself because this marriage was only to help Kyoko. He sighed honestly wishing it was more than that. He looked at the plate with the sticky note.

Dear Ren,

I made you dinner. Hope you enjoy it. You better eat it all. I won't be home till later tonight. Don't bother to stay up late and wait for me. You need your sleep. If you have any questions or need something please call. If I don't pick up leave a voice message and I'll get to it as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,

Kyoko

It practically said the same thing every time. The only contact Ren actually had with his beloved wife for the past 2 weeks was through sticky notes and voice messages. It was honestly quite sad. How was it possible that she had more work than him? He took the plate and threw it into the microwave to reheat it. Ren stared blankly at the kitchen as he waited for his food. I wonder what Kyoko is doing? He thought and completely forgot about the beeping microwave behind him.

"Mogami-san you can go home." Kyoko looked over at her boss who had a friendly smile.

"Really? I haven't finished my shift." Kyoko said honestly. Her boss chuckled lightly

"You need a break. I haven't had a dedicated waitress in such a long time. You need a break you're young. You need a life outside of work."

"I can't it just wouldn't be right" Kyoko contemplated as she remembered Ren's confession to Bo.

"No I insist. You need it go enjoy the night while it's still young. Plus if you refuse I'll lower your wage." Kyoko froze. She needed the money.

"Ok" she said hesitantly. Exiting to the back room where she could get her things and leave. She walked out towards her bike and that's when it hit her. Should she really go home? What if that lovely young lady that Tsuruga-san was so in love with was there? She panicked at the thought and pulled out her phone.

Ren sat at the table eating his food when he heard his phone. He quickly grabbed it out of his pocket. A genuine smile was wiped across his face as he noticed it was his favorite LoveMe member. He quickly picked up.

"Hello?" His voice showed his excitement.

"Hello Ren, I just got done with work early. Are you busy? "Kyoko asked worried.

"No. In fact, I'm eating the food you left for me" Ren smiled

"Oh ok. Is anyone there?" Kyoko finally asked the question.

"No? Why?" He was confused that she would ask that question

"Nothing I was just wondering." Kyoko let out a sigh in relief that she wasn't ruining her sempai's private life.

"Ok. Is there anything else you wanted to say?" Ren said after a long silent pause on the other end.

"Oh yes I forgot I will be coming to your house in about 15 minutes?" Tsuruga-san felt slight disappointment at her referring to his house to "your house" and not "home". He had to do something to cause her to think of his place as home but he wasn't sure how he was going to do it.

"Kyoko you know you live here now? You can call it home I honestly don't mind" He said trying to make her change her way of thinking.

"Oh I can't do that. You own the house." Kyoko said politely back. Ren scowled slightly at her response but he had expected it.

"Do you need a ride?" He asked changing the topic

"No I'm not too far away. I need to hang up since I'm riding my bike. See you soon!"

Kyoko quickly hung up before he could even reply back. Ren sighed but he smiled at the thought of actually spending time with Kyoko. He was so happy that they could be spending time together without the Cain or Setsu titles. They were now Ren and Kyoko. Every time he thought that he couldn't help but think how perfect it was. He was soon brought out of his thoughts once he noticed the door open ever so slightly.

"Hello."Kyoko said warmly. Ren wish he could replay this scene at his front door every day.

"Hello Kyoko." He said with a grin

"Ah I need to go change out of my work clothes. " Kyoko hurried away. Ren looked confused. When did she get a job as a waitress?

Kyoko scurried into the guest bedroom that was now hers. It had bits of her personality everywhere including the gaudy vase she once bought for the rose that Ren had gave her for her birthday. She quickly found a T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

She then went to her lavishing bathroom there she went to go pee and that is when horror swept over her face as she noticed the disgusting details that are left when a female has her 'monthly bill'.

She scuttled awkwardly towards the cabinet under the sink where she kept her feminine hygiene products at. To her dismay the boxes of tampons were empty. Kyoko felt as if the world had stopped spinning. She couldn't let herself leak everywhere! She had to get to a place that sold that 'stuff' ASAP. Kyoko stared at the box hoping that possibly it had one tampon left. No matter how much she stared or hoped there was something there, nothing was there. Kyoko sighed. She needed a game plan. So she was going to go to the store that was in the apartment building Ren lived in. There she would walk with grace to the special isle for females. Then she would grab the cheapest box of tampons pay and get out of there and life would be all dandy as long as she did it fast enough.

You go this! Kyoko thought to herself. She quickly put some toilet paper in her underwear to help slow down the leaking process. She pulled her pants up and marched out of the bathroom with a fighting spirit. She headed towards the door.

"Kyoko? You're leaving so soon. Is there something wrong?" She almost forgot about him! She didn't expect this to be an obstacle.

"Ahh no! I was just going to the store." She laughed nervously. Ren looked suspiciously at her.

"Really?" He said knowing something was up.

"Yes I need to go to the store to get a few ingredients." And tampons Kyoko thought.

"Let me come with you." Ren insisted.

"It's ok I can do it myself." She quickly replied

"Let me go with you. Besides we haven't had time to talk to each other in person for a long time."

"I-I" and before she could refuse they were out the door. Ren almost wanted to laugh at how strangely she was acting and walking. Kyoko on the other hand was hoping and praying that the luxurious toilet paper would last and save her from embarrassment and the teasing from Ren. While in the elevator to the bottom floor Kyoko stood nervously.

"Is something wrong? We're only going to the store." Kyoko jumped as he spoke.

"It's nothing really I'm just-"the elevator door opened and Kyoko race towards salvation.

Kyoko felt instantly jealous as she noticed Ren could walk with such grace and stay up with her and her awkward running. Kyoko stopped once they were inside the store.

"Um can you stay here?" She looked at Ren desperately.

"Aren't you just going to buy ingredients?" He asked really confused now.

"Yes?" She croaked

"Well let me help you." Ren grabbed a shopping basket. Kyoko wanted to stop him but she couldn't get herself to. She quickly grabbed Ren's hand and led him through the food part of the store in hopes to grab ingredients. He smiled as he noticed the friendly contact but was soon distracted as she threw items into the basket at the speed of light.

"Kyoko shouldn't we get the more expensive brand of this?" he held up a thing of tofu.

"No just leave it. This brand taste better" She quickly added. She led him to the front of the store

"I think that's it. You can check out while I go get something." Kyoko said quickly

"No I can go with you." Ren was wondering what other things she could be getting.

"Please don't it's to embarrassing." Ren tried to think what was embarrassing in this store. The only thing he would think that would be embarrassing to her would be condoms. Condoms. Ren thought trying to keep his mind clean. Kyoko would never need those. He told himself that but as most people know men can have dirty thoughts and Ren was getting there but his little fantasy was broken as he noticed Kyoko dash off towards the hygiene area of the store. Kyoko was able to successfully grab that box of tampons. She ran rapidly to the cashier. She went into her pocket in hopes of her wallet but where was her wallet? Kyoko mentally abused herself as she noticed she left it in her bag.

"So this is what you were hiding from me." Ren looked at Kyoko was an amused face. He tried to suppress his laughter.

"IT'S NOTHING! I-I.. I "She wasn't even sure what to say now.

"Here let me pay for it. If you needed tampons you could have told me after all." He paused and whispered into her ear" I am your husband after all" Kyoko looked at him flustered. He couldn't help but think how cute she really was.

"I can't let you pay for that!" She pleaded

"I can't let my wife go back to our house to get her money. That would make me look like a bad husband. Now wouldn't it?" He smugly said. He really didn't imagine their evening to be like this but he couldn't complain since he had a chance to mess with her. The cashier looked puzzled at the couple. Was Tsuruga Ren really married? Ha! nonsense his marriage would be all over the news. The cashier thought and didn't think more of their relationship.

"I-I" Kyoko's brain was malfunctioning for many reason but the main ones were, Ren can't keep wasting his money on her and the other is now he knows about her secret. Kyoko wished desperately that she could back in time and changed this current situation.

"Well here you go. I even bought the ingredients since I knew you would need some to cook later."

"But" She tried to protest.

"No buts I want to pay for it. I think we should go back before you have an accident" Kyoko couldn't believe he could talk so casually about her feminine problems. Kyoko was completely red by now. Ren noticed it and smirked.

"It's ok Cain would do this for Setsu all the time. And since now we're living together again it should be ok." He said happily. Kyoko blushed more; if that was physically possible.

"I'm still going to pay you back." Kyoko said determinedly. He chuckled as they walked back to the elevator. They stood in the elevator while smooth jazz played. Kyoko looked over at Ren. This man is the ruin of me She sighed and fidgeted restlessly. Ren looked at her and smiled at her this is going to a fun marriage He then tried to keep his amusement inside but he failed causing Kyoko to glare at him with a bright crimson face. This was defiantly a night to remember for both of them.

Yes I hope you like this chapter! Lol does the title ring a bell to anyone? Anyone? If not it's from that one tampon CM I think it was advertising the tampax brand. I had fun with this chapter. But this is basically a break chapter I will be able to start the arc I've been planning forever to use! So stay tune! In a way this chapter does foreshadow what is coming up the next chapter. I think this ended up more fluffy then I wanted it but hey I just read 173 and so I'm a total fan girl right now. The fan girl inside has to spread its wings and fly. Lol that was cliché anyhow expect a chapter in the near future. Maybe this week or next and if I never update in a long time I'm terribly sorry. I hope Ren and Kyoko aren't OOC and there aren't to may grammatical errors. I'll probably end up finding some after I publish. OH and please review it's my crack. Many of you are authors and understand what I mean. So hope you enjoyed. Tell next time.
