Kyoko woke from a very long night, guilt plagued her and she knew she was being petty and Ren was just worried about her, but she knew she would be fine. He had texted her a throughout the night, asking if she was home safe, and that he would like to talk to her when she had a chance. She had answered letting him know that she did indeed make it home safe and that she was going to help Okami-san and Taisho-san at the restaurant so she wouldn't have her phone on her. Around 1 am she got the last text from him, all it said was Tsuruga: 'Goodnight and I hope you have sweet dreams.' The last text was the one that started her guilt trip. He was always so kind to her, why couldn't she just push her pride aside and let this be past them, but then a grudge would come along and whisper to her 'he doesn't trust you, so much so that he wants Yashiro keep him updated on what you are doing or who you are with.'

She pulled out her phone and saw that he had already texted her this morning, Tsuruga: 'I'm sorry, I'm just being jealous and scared. I know you think I don't trust you, but I do. It's everyone else I don't trust. Can I see you today?' She smiled and re-read the text 10 times before she texted back.

Mogami: 'I've got a love me thing at 9 at TBM then I go start Dreams at 15:00. I would like to see you today too. ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ'

Ren picked up his phone when he heard the notification and couldn't help but smile reading the message from Kyoko. Tsuruga: 'I've got an interview at TBM this morning also, do you think we can talk for a bit there?

(ㅅ )'

Mogami: 'sounds good.'

Tsuruga: 'It's a date then. (੭ᴗ)੭ I'll pick you up from Darumaya . (｡- .•)'

Kyoko put a pillow over her face and squealed when she read that it was a date. With just one text she had forgiven everything.

Yashiro looked at Ren in the mirror and noticed a genuine smile, "To Darumaya?"

"Thanks Yahito."

Kyoko slid in the seat next to Ren, he tried to give her the better seat, yet again but she wouldn't let him, again. Kyoko felt Ren's hand cover hers, she peeked over at him and gave a small smile. His hands were so much larger than hers, and when he touched her the warmth from just his hands seemed to warm her entire body. She couldn't help but blush when his thumb started stroking hers, it was so innocent yet to her it felt so intimate.

"So Kyoko, are you excited about your first lead role?" Yashiro asked looking in the rear view.

She snatched her hand away from Ren's, it felt like she was caught by her mother doing something she shouldn't be doing. And she heard Ren beside her give a quite chuckle. "Yes, it's a big opportunity for me. It may not be the best situation though, but I think it will help me grow as a person and actress." She glanced at Ren hoping she said the right things but noticed his real smile turned into the fake gentlemanly smile he gives when he isn't happy. I guess I shouldn't have brought up the situation of having to act opposite of Sho she thought.

"That's great, isn't it Ren?" Yashiro asked noticing his changed expression as well.

"Yeah, I'm sure Ms. Mogami will be very professional, and grow." Ren answered trying to hide the jealousy he was feeling. Every time he thought of those two working it put him in a bad mood. He wished they could go back to being Cain and Setsu, where nothing mattered but each other. He also wished more than once he had told her his feelings before they were Cain and Setsu as well, he wondered if she would have looked at him differently acting out the siblings if she knew how he felt, though he didn't know how she felt at the time. Maybe that's when she started to open up her heart to him, so any confession before that may have gone horribly wrong.

His mind started going through reruns of their time spent together, especially the night that Fuwa called which led to them on the bed and her marking him, or trying to eat him more accurately. He remembered her lithe body sitting on top of him, the shock and excitement he felt when she unzipped his shirt, the feel of her soft lips on his skin, and the sharp teeth that bruised his flesh. When she bit him he felt the pain course through his body, but it was a pain that was exquisite. He wanted so badly to roll her over and claim her as his, to take whatever she was willing to give. How far would she have let him go if she hadn't snapped back to Kyoko for a split second and stopped him? Ren put his jacket over his lap to hide the erection he was starting to get, he knew that she would run if she had noticed it, and probably gotten the wrong idea as well, she always did. Plus he would never hear the end of it from Yashiro if he noticed a tent popped in the back seat.

Ren felt her hand lightly touch his knee and turned his attention to her, "Are you okay Mr. Tsuruga?" she asked noticing a pained expression on his face.

He placed his hand over hers and gave her a gentle smile, "nothing that won't right itself in time."

Kyoko walked a few steps behind Tsuruga not wanting people to start talking if they were seen together, she wasn't even sure as to why this man, number one man that women want to date, he should be seen with women like Honoka Ootomo, she was tall beautiful and screamed sexy. She imagined Ren and Honoka together and even she thought they would be perfect together. She suddenly bumped into Tsuruga's back lost in her own world.

"Ms. Mogami?" Ren asked opening the door. He knew that she wasn't paying attention, he had glanced back at her a couple times while they were walking down the hallway but he decided not to say anything. Just that she was there and not running away was enough for him, at least for now.

Kyoko walked through the door that Ren held open, she glanced at him and he pointed to the overstuffed couch in the room. "Sit."

She started to fidget, she was getting nervous again, the look on his face wasn't mad, or the smile when he was extremely angry, but it wasn't his normal bored face either. Again she was a bundle of nerves with just the two of them but she went and sat as instructed and he followed and sat very close to her.

Her mind went blank, she wasn't sure if she should say anything or if he wanted to talk so she just clasped her hands together and looked at the floor. She could see his knees down, but she could feel that he was staring at her. She had to break the silence, it was driving her crazy. "Ummm, ? Did I do something to upset you again?" she asked in a weak voice.

"Ren." he said, his low voice sounded in her ear.

It made her jump and she snapped her head up to look at him. Was he really as close to her as it sounded? Luckily he wasn't as close as she thought because she would have head-butted him in the face, but now with her back straight and her head up she was just inches away. "I'm sorry?"

"Ren, call me Ren."

He brushed her hair from her eyes, the light touch of his finger on her face jolted her back to the present and she jumped back from him.

He should have expected a reaction like that from her, but it still hurt a bit. "Are you scared of me Kyoko?" though he still found her adorable with the deer in the headlights look she was giving him and the dark blush that was coloring her face. "What were you thinking about so diligently on our way here that you weren't paying attention to your surroundings?" He was hoping it was about him, he wanted to dominate her thoughts, and wanted to possess her body and heart.

"Oh…. It was nothing." She said her voice said with a tremble.

Ren smiled with how cute she was and wanted to see more blushes, more shyness from her. "Oh? I thought we wouldn't lie to each other?" he said moving closer to her.

Kyoko looked up at him through her thick lashes, he could feel his blood heating up quickly. She didn't realize how damn seductive she was. "I was thinking how perfect you and Ms. Ootomo would look together."

Ren stared at her, the heat that enveloped him just seconds ago turned to ice with just one sentence. What in the hell was going through her mind to have thoughts like that. He knew she didn't have the most normal thought process like most people but what would make her think of him with another woman. And who the hell was Ms. Ootomo? "Um, Kyoko? Who is Ms. Ootomo? And why are you shipping me with her?"

"Honoka Ootomo, she's a beautiful model and um, she just… she just makes more sense." She said looking back at her feet.

Now he understood, she still didn't realize her own charm. He tilted her face up to look at him "Kyoko, you are the only one I see."

Kyoko was terrified and confused. Tsurugas brown eyes were burning, but not with anger, they made her want to melt like ice cream on a hot day. "Mr. Tsuruga?"

"Ren." he said his face coming closer to hers.

"R-Ren?"

She could feel his breath on her cheek, "Yes Kyoko?" his voice deep and vibrating in her ear sent chills down her spine.

Her mind went back to Valentines day and the kiss on her cheek, but there was nothing for him to thank her for today. Her mind was racing just as fast as her heart was, she felt his lips graze her cheek and she froze. She didn't know what to do.

"Kyoko? Can I kiss you?" He whispered in her ear.

She didn't know how to respond, her heart wanted nothing more than to have him kiss her, but her mind was blaring a warning. Even her grudges were speechless and frozen in time. All she could do was nod.

Ren picked up her hand and kissed each knuckle, then peppered her palm in kisses. She didn't understand how something so simple could send jolts throughout her body. He gazed in her eyes as he put her hand on his cheek and leaned into it enjoying her soft hands caressing his face. "Kyoko? May I kiss you again?" He asked still seeing the uncertainty in her face, but her eyes were no longer scared. They were molten pools of gold, he could tell she was turned on, but did she even realize it herself? Ren had to remind himself of how young she was, how inexperienced and innocent, which made him feel kind of like a creep but he couldn't stop right now, he wanted to at least kiss her, to taste her a little.

He cupped his hand to her face and she leaned into it and closed her eyes. He pulled her closer to him and she peeked through her lashes at him. His lips touched hers and she kissed him back, it was a sweet kiss, but he wanted more. His tongue licked the bottom of her lip and like a key she parted her lips for him, his tongue plunged into her mouth and he felt her hands travel to his hair. He pulled her body closer to his, and she willingly moved closer, almost on his lap. His hand traveled to her ass where he lifted her to straddle him the kiss never stopping. He knew that he had already past dangerous territory but his body wouldn't cooperate with his brain. He felt her hands on his chest, exploring him, and he wanted to do the same but he didn't want to jolt her back to reality. He knew what he was doing and it was wrong, he should have restrained himself and he thought considering how badly he wanted her he was doing okay at restraint, but he was still a man and the woman he loved was kissing him back passionately while sitting on his lap.

Kyoko's mind was thinking of nothing other than the way this man was making her feel. Her entire body was on fire and the hottest part was at her core. She was on his lap, his tongue still invading her mouth, it was hard to breathe. She felt his hard chest beneath his shirt, his arms holding her so she couldn't escape even if she wanted to which she didn't. Suddenly she felt a hand moving up her ribs, it felt like fire and electricity where he touched, she couldn't stop herself and she moaned into his mouth, suddenly his other arm held her and his hips bucked and she gasped when she felt the hardness press into her. She was brought back to real life and she pushed away so hard that she would have fallen off his lap if he hadn't been holding on to her.

Ren let go so that she wouldn't feel trapped, shame flooded him, he hadn't meant for it to go this far, he'd only wanted a kiss, something simple that she would remember when he was gone. She scrambled off his lap and went into dogeza "I'm so sorry Mr. Tsuruga, I don't know what came over me."

Ren knelt down to her, "No, Kyoko, please get up, this is my fault. I got carried away."

Kyoko looked up at him she could feel the tears stinging the back of her eyes, she was so embarrassed at her lack of control. Ren reached out to help her up, she didn't take his hand, she was afraid to touch him again, afraid her body would loose control. She stood up and glanced at the door, he could tell she wanted to run, and it was his fault.

"I think I need to go, I don't want to be late for work." She said as she bolted to the door. Ren had forgotten how fast she could be and followed her but she was already stopped by someone in the hallway.

"Oh Ms. Mogami, Did the producer make you greet the guest again? But why aren't you Bo?" The man asked.

Kyoko wanted to die there on the spot, she looked behind her hoping that Tsuruga wasn't in hearing distance, instead she was staring at a broad chest, she looked up at his face afraid to what she would see. It was the gentleman smile, "Ah, no Ms. Mogami and I are colleagues so she was just visiting me before the show." Ren told the man.

"Ahhhh, that's right, you two were in Dark Moon together." He said with no realization of what he had just done. "Ms. Mogami, just make sure you have time to become Bo, and Mr. Tsuruga, it was a pleasure to meet you." The man said walking off.

"Ms. Mogami, would you care to explain?"

She couldn't look at him, she was so ashamed. The one thing she didn't want him to know he just found out. "I'm Bo the Chicken for Yappa Kimagure Rock." She said quietly

"So I've gathered. Please, have a seat, I think we have more to talk about."

Kyoko turned and did as instructed. She felt like she was entering the principles office or worse the firing squad, and Tsuruga was the one with the gun.

Ren sat opposite of her, leaning on his knees. He couldn't believe that she was the Bo, "So how long have you played Bo the Chicken?"

She looked up at him fidgeting with her fingers, "Since the start of the show."

Ren felt the tips of his ears turn hot, he wasn't mad, he was completely embarrassed. He dumped so much information to Bo, so much personal information, and lately it was about her. He remembered the elevator when he confessed, he should have known then, she knew too much before he even confessed.

"Are you angry?" She asked, he didn't look angry, and if he was would he even tell her?

"No, I'm more embarrassed than anything."

"Why are you embarrassed? It's not like you did anything wrong, I'm the one that kept my identity a secret." she mumbled.

"That's true, but it's still embarrassing on my part." It felt like he had just lost a friend, or a therapist at least. Bo was so easy to talk to, and the Chicken did give good advice. He was still shocked that it was her in the suit, he had poured his heart out to her and didn't even know it, though she didn't even realize it was about her so there was that. "So this is the top secret Love Me operation at TBM huh?"

Kyoko nodded.

"Was I the only one that didn't know?"

She shook her head, "Mr. Yashiro didn't know either."

That made Ren feel a little better, least it wasn't secret just to him. "I'm not angry Kyoko, and actually a little relieved to know. But, before we go any further, are there any more secrets you are hiding?"

Kyoko shook her head no.

Ren smiled at her "Good, I don't want any secrets between the two of us." he felt a pang of guilt, he was keeping Koun a secret from her, he felt like such a hypocrite, but he couldn't bring himself to tell her about his dark past.

Kyoko look up at him and his brown eyes were shining kindness, she felt a burden off her chest. She gave a weak smile back and nodded.
