"Another role as co-stars? With Mr. Tsuagara? And YOU'RE the female lead!" Moko's mouth was gaping, after she said the last part, "Mm-hm! I thought it was neat too! I really liked being costars wen we were doing 'ark Moon', and isn't it weird? That as soon as we finished the filming we got co-stared again?! And! It's really cool that I'm the female lead 'cause now Mr. Tsuagara and I can reherse lines together even more!" "Why do I feel that you're most excited about the last part? Kyoko, it isn't odd that you're co-staring with Mr. Tsuagara, or even that it's so soon, wat's weird is that you got the lead female role AND you and Mr. Tsuagara seem to be getting pretty close, tell me, Kyoko, why are you so delighted to rehearse with him? Hm?" "Because last time, for the most part anyway, we had lots of fun! Because its like a game! And we use improvising to get into our charectors before we do the scripts!" "I see, Kyoko? Why do you hold onto that little blue stone more now then you did months ago?" "Because, Mr. Tsuagara, kissed it for me! And he, made it more powerful! So now the streth of him AND Corn are flowing into it, And so I needit even more!" "But, Kyoko, don't you think it's strange? For someone like Ren Tsuagara to become happy over such a silly thing? Espically if he was in a really bad mood, and, I understand that it has signifagence to you, but wat does it have with him? And do you honestly believe that he found out wen your birthday was through the presedent of LME?" "I found out his birthday through the presedent of LME! Why couldn't he-" "Because he isn't that snoopy, and the presedent dosen't give out information that easily," 'She's right, to find out wen his birthday was I had to promise to throw him a surprise party, wich wasn't that easy, not to mention, he almost hates surprises, so I was tip toeing around most of the time,' "Kyoko?" she snapped out of her thoughts, "How old would Corn be right now? And wat would he look like?" "Well, he was 10 wen I met him, and that was almost 11 years ago, and he would be handsome, and he would probbably dress nice, and, he would,..." 'Corn would be about Mr. Tsuagara's age, and he, would almost look like Mr. Tsuagara, and he would have just a bit of an accent, since he's from overseas, and, and, Mr. Tsuagara really liked it wen I talked about Corn, and he, new how to use the special stone, the first time Corn had to show me, I could be wrong, but, I could also be right!' "Thank you Moko, for finally, etting me see the light!" Kyoko left the lounge, Moko sighed, she was hoping that this would go well,
Kyoko marched forward, how could she have not noticed sooner?! "Corn!" she said, Ren turned around, 'Just as I thought! He responded because he was called "Corn" at one point, so, he still responds,' "Ms. Mogami?" "Mr. Tsuagara? May I, speak with you for a moment?" Ren followed her towards the fountain, "Ms. Mogami-" "Mr. Tsuagara? You new me didn't you? Wen we were kids, you were visiting the country with your dad, you still couldn't speak English very well, so wen you said your name was 'Kuon' I thought you said 'Corn' you just didn't correct me, you gave me that stone, am I right?" "Ms. Mogami," "How could you, how could you lead me on like that? Why have you never said anything? And to act like you were some kind of philosipher by saying that Corn was a very fine adult, how could you do that to me? I had hoped, that one day, I would see him again, see that fairy prince, everything that you said the, and now, it makes sense, I was hoping, that if I met him, we would still be old freinds, Corn, and Little Kyoko, I'll never get that now," her eyes were tearing up, Ren pulled her closer, "Wat if we were in between?" "In between?" "Yes, if I called you 'Kyoko' and you call me 'Ren', will that make everything ok?" "No, but it's a start, Ren!" she smiled, her sweet bright smile, and gazed up at the trees
"Ren?" the silence broke for a moment, "Wat's your favirote kind of flower?" the question caught him off guard, "A rose, because roses are elegent and charming," "You look like a person that likes roses," "Wat's your favirote kind of flower?" "Well, it's a tie between roses and lilys, but I think it would be lilys, then roses," "A lily? Why?" "Because, if you try to pluck the pedals off of a lily, it's harder to do then with any other flower, in other words, lillies are the strongest, and roses have thorns but they can only keep people away for so long," Ren smiled, a sincere smile, same old Kyoko, "Kyoko?" he said, "Would you like to rehearse with me tonight?" Kyoko's smile increased, "Yes!"
"So, shall we use improvisation for this rehearsal too?" "Yes, I guess so," Kyoko looked around Ren's enourmouse room, and she noticed something odd, "Ren? Why is that here?" "Why is wat here?" "This," Kyoko picked up a small wite box, Ren smiled, "Oh, a freind of mine had an important meeting today, I had about four hours free, so I told her I'd watch her daughter for her, we were playing with that kit, I suppose she left it here by accedent, actually, wen we met today I was outside of my freind's office building, I bettter go call and tell her that her daughter left it here," "Oh, alright then," Ren went back to his bedroom to call the freind he mentioned, Kyoko sat on the floor, 'Ren was playing? With a little girl, even though Maria is more mature than most girs her age, he, never mind, I can't say that he never plays with her, but somehow, it's hard to imagine, yet, it fits,' Kyoko mentally watched Ren playing games with the little girl, he looked like he was really showing the girl his fun side, Kyoko kind of wanted to see that side of him, "Kyoko?" Kyoko turned around to see Ren in the door way, wearing a wite lab coat, Kyoko wasn't sure how to react at first, but, he looked so, strange, like that that she couldn't help smileing and laughing, "Hm? Wat's so funny?" "You, uh, you just surprised me, why are you dressed like that?" "It's one of the costumes for the new drama we're doing, do I look that ridiculouse?" "Well, sorta, it justt is, unexpected for you to look like that," "Oh, I get it," "Get wat?" "Never mind," "Get wat?!" "You simply don't understand suffisticated style," Kyoko couldn't help but grin as Ren began to do some fake modeling, she started laughing, and soon, so did Ren, 'I've never really heard him laugh before, espically not so freely,' Kyoko wiped away a forming tear and streaked her finger down her face, Ren opened one eye wen he noticed that Kyoko had stopped laughing, he ceased as well, "Is it swollen?" Kyoko looked up, "That scar on your cheek, it'll be there a wile, is it swollen?" "Not, not, really,""It may not be my concern but, were did you get it? How did you get it?" "I, was a bit careless," "Was it him? Was it Fuwa that did that to you?" "How did, how did you no it wasn't the Beagal Stalker?" Ren held back a grin, "Vie Goul, and because you were given that scar, before thathappened right? Before the incedent, with the stone, and, before, I protected you, and because, wen I saw him, the way he treated you, was not as if he had ever harmed you, I can just tell," "Mm, yes, Shotaro is the one that scared my face, wen I was warning him about the Beagal," "Vie Goul," "Yes that," was she trieing to make him laugh? It was working! If she called that band "Beagal" one more time, he would defenitly start laughing, "I was warning him, and he, didn't believe me, it was his fingernail, that did this to me," Ren clenched his fists, "Fairy Prince" Ren unclenched his fists and looked up, anger draining from his face, "You, really do remind me of a Fairy Prince, Ren, and to me, that's who you'll always be, even if your name changes, you'll always be my, Fairy Prince, won't you?" "Yes I will, but only if you promise to always be, 'Princess Kyoko' promise?" "I promise!" 'My owne name, something that will always be mine, in his eyes, I, I will always be the same!' Kyoko started to cry, she didn't no why in paticular, but, she was so happy, "Kyoko, please don't cry," she wiped away her tears but they kept coming, Ren held her close, embraced her tightly, "Don't cry, because it hurts me wen you cry," Kyoko had had such a hard existence, he wanted that to change, "Don't cry," he repeated, he layed down, Kyoko laying next to him, her tears ceasing, her breathing becoming normal, her head on his chest, her body in his arms, it was a very nice position, he stroked her hair, "Kyoko?" "Yes?" "I, I always want to be like this," Kyoko looked up, "I always want you to come to me with yours tears, instead of someone else, I want you to always trust me, and I always want to protect you, and do everything I can, to make you smile, Kyoko? Is that ok?" "I, I want all of that too, I'm just, I'm scared, I don't want my heart to break again, not after I just put it back together, I don't want to start over again," "I won't let that happen, I promise," "I, I believe you, I trust you, because, Shotaro never made a promise like this, or told me, that he wanted to be with me, he only told me to follow him, and wat else could I do? Wen there was no were else to go? But, I feel like this is diffrent, but will you tell me something that Shotaro never told me? Will you tell me, only if you mean it with all your heart? That you love me?" "Yes, Kyoko, I do, I do love you, do you love me?" "Yes, I love you," "Then, will you kiss me?" "Yes," they both rose up, Kyoko leaned towards Ren, both of them closed their eyes, and kissed lightly, and right now, lightly was good, because lightly, is something, it's something that was new to Kyoko, that no one thought would be possible, and during the time of the engagement, kisses would become more freqent, more natural, more passionate, and by the time the wedding came, Kyoko would be healed, with only a scar, because wen Ren Tsuagara kisses you, he dosen't just kiss your lips, he kisses your heart THE END
