Chapter 5- Too much work+ no sleep= you're screwed

Kyoko was very confused as she sat on the edge of her bed. She wondered how in the world she even ended up in her bed in the first place when she swore she knocked out on the large couch. She sat there pondering the question but her tiredness and dull headache made it hard to concrete. No one could blame her since she made it home at 4 and woke up 2 hours afterwards. Kyoko sat there puzzled till the obvious answer slapped her across the face. She turned a soft red as she remember the vague images of someone picking her up and gently putting her down and even possibly taking her shoes off for her. Guilt sank in as she noticed that he waited for her to come home but there was a sense of gratitude that came along with it too. She could hardly believe Ren would stay up that late to make sure she made it home safely. He was really doing too much for her. Even though it was embarrassing that he would buy her tampons it was still very sweet of him. She was already grateful that he would even marry her just so she could continue her career and dream. The girl that Ren loves is lucky she thought for a few moments till she could hear noises in the kitchen.

Kyoko was soon pulled out off her thoughts when she looked at the clock. She quickly raced out of her bed and into the kitchen at full speed. She tackled the fridge for ingredients. She wasn't going to let Tsuruga-san make anything.

"Kyoko?" a deep voice said confused. She quickly snapped her head towards the person who said that. He was closer than she expected which put her into shock. He may have been about 3 feet away but that is completely different when someone is in their boxers. She wasn't sure what to do. She wanted to look at every single detail of his nicely formed muscles but she knew if she would look at him it would make this situation more awkward then it already is. Why am I a pervert? Kyoko thought as she blushed heavily.

Ren on the other hand was very shocked that she was actually up since it was only 6 and she got only 2 hours of sleep but it really wasn't unexpected since this was Kyoko we were talking about. Ren looked at her somewhat confused. She was blushing and not making eye contact which was weird for her. That's when it hit Ren that he was only in his boxers. He totally forgot. He tried to think of how to make this situation normal or at least not have this awkward silence.

"Kyoko, is something wrong?" he said trying to mess with her.

"Ahh noo I'm just c-cooking." Kyoko hastily grabbed the pot and threw whatever into it and threw it onto the stove so she could resist temptation to look at Ren.

"Aren't you supposed to take things out of its packaging before you cook them?" Ren smiled at how she was reacting to him; it was honestly cute.

"Ahhh I- I yes. Um, oh yes I need to take it out of its package." She hurriedly grabbed the meat that was still in its package.

"Here let me open that for you Kyoko." Ren grabbed the package out of her hand making the distance between them closer and Kyoko swore she was getting dizzy. She couldn't handle this anymore. A pure maiden shouldn't be put through this type of temptation and thoughts.

"I'm going to get the other ingredients." Kyoko went quickly towards the fridge. The nice cold air made it easier for her to think. She made sure she took her time at finding all the things she needed.

"What do you want me to do with this?" Ren asked holding the meat in his hand clueless what to do. Kyoko turned around from the fridge and when Kyoko thought she was ok she was nothing but ok now. Yes once again Ren was too close to her bubble Kyoko froze and dropped all the things she was holding.

"I'M SO SORRRY!" Kyoko quickly dived for the ingredients. Ren also tried to help her but she was too fast. She rapidly got up and lost her balance causing a certain someone to instantly catch her. OH crap! Kyoko thought as she was being held in his arms. Her entire face became a intense red as she noticed that she was touching his bare chest. It was too much for her mind to handle. She could feel the definition in of his body and it killed her inside.

Ren didn't mind this contact at all but he had to wonder what in the world was going through Kyoko's mind. He was even surprised she didn't even move right away. She was just there stationary.

"Kyoko are you ok?"

"I-I-I-I I'm ok." Ren knew that was a lie.

"Are you sure you've been acting strange?" Kyoko moved away slowly from Ren

"Oh it's nothing." Kyoko tried to make eye contact but failed.

She refused to look at him so she wouldn't think like a pervert. She quickly switched to insane cooking mood. She went instantly to cooking and Ren wasn't even able to do anything but watch as she completely took over the kitchen. It was almost scary at how passionate she was when it came to chopping vegetables. Ren chuckled lightly at what mayhem he caused. He wouldn't be surprised if his kitchen looked like World War III after she was done cooking. He sat there enjoying the beautiful scene in his kitchen. He couldn't believe he could make Kyoko so flustered.

He sat down at the table wondering why she was up so early and why did she get home late last night. Even Ren was back home before 4 in most situation. Kyoko wasn't a very popular star yet so what could she be up to? Ren pondered that question.

He remembered her walking in last night as if she was a ghost she didn't even notice Ren sitting on the couch she just basically fell onto the couch. He almost had a heart attack seeing her just passing out on the couch. He instantly checked if she was even breathing. Once he was sure she was alive he just knew she must have been extremely tired. He took off her shoes carefully and gently picked her up and carried her to her bedroom and tucked her in. Ren looked at her peaceful face. He reluctantly walked away and turned off the lights.

"Here's breakfast." Kyoko said bringing Ren out of his thoughts.

"Oh thank you." He smiled warmly. Kyoko couldn't handle that smile she tried to stay composed as she sat across from him.

"Aren't you tired?" Ren asked concerned

"Ahh no." Kyoko lied.

"I just wondering since you came home late last night."

"Yeah but I'm fine." Once again Kyoko was lying since she had a massive headache and her whole body ached. Ren wasn't sure if he wanted to ask her why she was out late.

"ok just making sure." They sat silently for the rest of the meal. Ren just observed Kyoko as she eat. She seemed to be so out of it today. The jumpiness was somewhat expected when they were in the kitchen but her acting like a zombie was out of character.

Kyoko looked at the clock and almost wanted to shoot herself in the head. She only had 30 mins to be at TMB studios.

"Ahh please excuse me I need to go to TBM studios in 30 minutes. " Kyoko said hastily.

"Wait maybe I can drive you and it's getting pretty cold since December started. I can be ready quickly." Ren said

"NO you don't have to I don't want to make you late to anything."

"Don't worry I don't have to do anything till later anyways. You go get ready and I'll drive you. I don't want you to be late." And before Kyoko could refuse Ren was already in his room showering and Kyoko quickly headed for her room and jumped in her shower. Kyoko tried to speed through her normal ritual when taking a shower. Once she was out of the shower she quickly got dressed and by the time she was out he was ready to go.

"You ready?" Ren asked looking at his watch.

"Yup, we only have 15 minutes." Kyoko said starting for the door and down to Ren's car.

"TMB studios. Right?" Ren asked before turning on the car.

"Yes." Kyoko nodded somewhat impressed that he remembered where she needed to go. They both sat in the car and then they were off. Kyoko looked out the window at the gray cityscape. Her head felt like it was going to explode but she ignored that feeling she couldn't let feeling ill well interfere with her work. She sighed as she recalled this morning's events. Why couldn't she keep more composure? It's not like Ren being in his boxers was anything big. No it is a big deal especially when I am a pure maiden. She thought. Even though Kyoko tried to block her thoughts of him they just seemed to always intrude. She could easily visualize Ren toned muscles; the information would be perfect for her future dolls. Then she scolded herself for being a pervert.

"Kyoko are you ok you look a little flush?" He said concerned

"Oh no I'm fine. It just I have a headache that's all." She smiled weakly

"Are you sick? We could easily turn around and head home. I think we should"

"No I'm fine. It's probably from the lack of sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes this headache won't stop me from working." She looked at him determined and he couldn't help but admire her.

"That is true. Well we're here." He parked and quickly turned off the engine and opened the door for Kyoko.

"Thank you." Kyoko felt the cold wind engulf her body as she stepped out. That was when it hit her that she forgot her jacket. Why was she prone to forgetting whenever she was with him?

"You don't have to walk me into the studios I've already caused you enough trouble."

"No I insist." He closed her door. He then looked at her. She was missing something. Then the light bulb went off inside Ren's head.

"You forgot your jacket. Here use mine." He took his nice designer jacket off and covered Kyoko.

"No you really don't have to. If I walk really fast I can make it inside and you can keep your jacket so you don't catch a cold."

"I think I will manage. Come on let's get you inside." Kyoko gave in knowing she wouldn't win this fight. She could smell Ren's warm scent off the jacket. It was almost comforting and intoxicating. Once they were at the entrance they looked at each other.

"Here's your jacket." Kyoko attempted to take it off but was quickly stopped by Ren

"No you'll need it. Especially if you are running around all day. I can go home and get another one."

"But-"

"I think you have only a few minutes till you start work. I don't want you to be tardy." Kyoko's eyes became wide and she zipped right in to the studio. Ren chuckled as he saw her dash through the lobby. He also smirked thinking now that he had in some way marked his territory.

Kyoko quickly made her way to the changing room before Bridge Rock went looking for her. She found the body of the costume and quickly pulled it on. She felt slightly dizzy but that didn't stop her from continuing.

"Hey Kyoko are you ready?" One of the Ishibashis said knocking on the door.

"Just a moment." Kyoko said swiftly throwing on her chicken head. She walked towards the door. While opening the door she felt a sharp pain in her head.

"Kyoko- Oh my gosh! Are you alright?"

"Kyoko!" Hikaru yelled frantically.

"This can't be good." Shinchi silently stated

"Oh my gosh! What are you guys doing? Someone call the ambulance." Yusei yelled as all three of them rushed over to Kyoko.
