CHAPITRE 13

I do not own skip beat ! Nakamura Yoshiki does.

Kijima erupted in the room just as Kyoko was sprawling herself on the bathroom tiles, her sides burning in agony and her mouth begging for pity under the big masterful in tickles hands of Ren.

-I was wondering what the two of you were doing when I heard this shrieking laughs and so i decided to check out your state. I was kind of hoping you were not achieving the task of removing his make-up, maybe it could have been glued but it's even better. But what's spurred this on? Kijima inquired when Ren helped Kyoko stand up.

Ren smiled. I was giving Kyoko a lesson.

Kijima arched a brow at the new appellation.

-Oh. I didn't know your lessons were always so physical man. I think i'm gonna pass.

Re blushed a bit before glaring at Kijima.

-It's a painful lesson then. My sides hurt too much now. I was just teasing you a bit, Tsu...Ren. I'm going to be sore Kyoko said while massaging her sides a bit.

-I suppose it's inevitable to be a little bit sore after training's session with Ren snorted Kijima.

There was so much innuendo in Kijima's phrase Ren poked him violently in his right side with his forefinger.

-shut up He whispered to him.

-Ouch! Kijima exclaimed and holding his right side.

-Man you're a violent one.

Ren's eyes glazed away a bit in sorrow.

You've no idea how much you're right...

He smiled innocently to Kijima.

That smile though not a completely genuine wasn't really hiding a thread but Kijima seemed to got scared and precipitately said:

I'm going home soon but i had a question for Kyoko-chan first, about last night.

Kyoko looked at him.

Sheepish Kijima hesitated a bit before saying:

-I have several bruises and a big bump on the head so i supposed i got into a fight last night before you got both of us out but i wanted to know if you knew the name of the guy with who i fought so i know who to be careful of or apologize?

-Bruises? Asked Kyoko.

She remembered the bump but the bruises.

Then it hit her, on the way to the taxi she had bump him left and right while carrying him. She had forgot.

-Hum Kyoko said. I don't think you've got into any fight Kijima-san. But the bump and bruises might be my fault so I apologize. I kind of bumped you here and there while carrying to the taxi. And once more in Ren's hall before entering his flat. I bumped you head on the wall.

Ren put his hand in front of his mouth to hide his amusement.

Kijima paled.

-I didn't fight? Kijima questioned to be sure

Kyoko shook her head.

He whined and Ren couldn't hold his snort this time.

So typical

Soured a bit, Kijima didn't say anything for a while and Kyoko used that time to put solvent on Ren's nails and remove the polish on them. She was just finishing when Kijima said he was going home and both of them showed him to the door but not before Kijima-san said some cryptic remark to Ren saying he was happy for him and that it was progress.

Kyoko thought Ren was going to hit him for a second but when she looked at him innocently, her face puzzled in incomprehension he smiled and oddly he seemed relieved for a second.

After that, the day seemed to pass in a blur. She made Ren eat a bit then made him go back to bed and he didn't protest much so he must had been more tired that he let it show.

Just obeying quietly with a gentle smile and a simple: Yes, Kyoko. I'm going to bed was so unlike him it disturbed her for a moment.

She slept a bit too and too fast for her it was eight p.m. She would have to leave soon. Kyoko had had also a bit of time to ponder about what she learned about Ren and she had wondered a lot about what could have happened, barely resisting the temptation to go on the net to read things about his parents. It would surely have information on him and she didn't want to learn it that way, she would feel like she was abusing his trust.

No, she would wait. Even if worry and curiosity were killing her.

Finally, he woke up and they ate in content atmosphere, secretly so happy to be here with the other until around ten, Kyoko had to go.

-Be careful and rest Kyoko ordered him once more.

-I promise. I will rest and even eat.

-I will call to check Kyoko warned.

Ren chuckled.

-I know. I'm looking forward to it.
