"Sensei, where are we going today?" Natsu asked, as she extended her arms and linked them behind the tall man's neck.

Smiling tenderly, Rin faintly touched his lips to forehead, before answering, "Where would you like to go?"

Reaching up to plant a suggestive kiss on the side of his mouth, Natsu smiled, "I would like to go where ever you want to take me."

Lovingly caressing her cheek, he lifted up her chin and kissed her tenderly. His arms circulating her waist, as he pulled her small body towards himself.

Both frames merged and Natsu's head tipped back under the brief pressure of his kiss, losing her balance, and, as Rin lifted his head to draw away, she caught on to his arms for leverage. To Ren, having Kyoko grip on to him after their kiss was outside of the written scene. Her willingness to remain attach, was like inviting a starving dog to eat.

His mouth dove down on hers, moving with a desperate hunger, over her own. When she began to respond back, his kiss became more urgent. He parted her lips with his tongue, coaxing her, urging her for more.

A soft groan escaped Kyoko as she dug her nails into his shoulders and yielded to his ardent kiss. Ren lost control, as he wrapped Kyoko tightly in his arms and lifted her up to her toes, fitting her body against himself. The encouragement he felt from her surrender ignited a blaze of passion in him that nearly obliterated his reason.

"Cut!" director Kazutoya yelled, smiling broadly over the gratifying acting before him.

Against his will, Ren's hands loosened around Kyoko's waist, but he was incapable of releasing her. He could feel the small actress trembling at the intimacy of his touch, but instead of pulling away, as he expected her to do, she stepped in closer to him, and met his surprise eyes with a look that shown with desire. "I lo-"

Director's Kazutoya's cheerful voice interrupted Kyoko's in the studio just a short distance away, "That was really amazing! I saw sparks with bright red tints coming off. Tsuruga-san, you are an excellent actor!"

He stopped short when he suddenly noticed the gorgeously blushing actress, and gave her an apologetic grin, "I hope to see more of that unwritten passion between your characters tomorrows scene, as well."

Ren peered down at Kyoko, he scrutinized her for a brief moment before he stepped away, and said, "Director Kazutoya, it is my honor to have the opportunity to do so."

Unable to meet either men's eyes, Kyoko lowered her head and mumbled something about having to change for her next scene.

Director Kazutoya's lips twitched with laughter as he watched Ren's eyes follow Kyoko out the studio.

Kyoko rushed back to her dressing room, shutting her door swiftly, she leaned against it and closed her eyes tightly. She was shaken from the roots of her hair down to the tips of her toes. What had just happened? Did she and Tsuruga-san really share a passionate moment in front of an entire crew of people.

Kyoko turned red with mortification. Her heart was still racing, and she could still feel the warmth of Tsuruga-san's strong hands that had embraced her so tightly. For a brief moment she had almost whispered her love to him, if it had not been for Director Kazutoya's interruption, she would have confessed to him in front of the entire set.

Pushing away from the door, Kyoko began to pace. She needed to think. She had originally thought of herself as being capable to portraying Natsu without losing herself to the role but the minute Tsuruga-san had taken her into his arms and kissed her, she had forgotten herself completely.

Ren heard her moving about in her dressing room and he knocked on the door. He didn't enter until she called for him to do so. Their eyes met instantly when he emerged from the doorway. Taking a step backwards, Kyoko smiled weakly before standing up straight and lifting her chin up to boldly meet Ren's gaze.

"We need to talk," Ren's voice was smooth as he shut the door and strolled further into the room. Taking predatory steps towards her, he watched the resolute young actress's stance.

Nodding, Kyoko waited for Tsuruga-san to reach her in the center of the room.

"I suppose I should go first," Ren said as he reached out to take her small hand in his own. "Do you still love Fuwa Sho?"

A slight frown marred Kyoko's face but her eyes began to wet with tears when she shook her head in reply, "No."

Satisfied with her answered Ren yanked her suddenly into his arms and held her tightly. Their lips united instantly. Ren kissed Kyoko, with all the passion that had been welling up in his heart. His lips licked at the trailing tear drops running down her face. "I'm sorry," he whispered over and over again, as he kissed each of her tears away.

"No!" Kyoko, proclaimed before pushing away from him.

Her voice trembled with emotion as she cried, "We are both wrong. I was wrong because I forced you into accepting me without really understanding who you really are. Our relationship has been filled with mistrust from the start. You don't trust me with Sho and I don't trust anyone with you. We don't have enough trust in each other, so how can we be together?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ren asked as he watched the young beauty cry brokenly before him.

"I don't want my imagination to run wild every time I see you with another girl and become jealous. That feeling scares me. I'm afraid I will turn into the kind of woman that I hate the most." Kyoko said as she wiped away her tears.

"Kyoko, only you are the one for me. And no matter who you are, I will always love just you." Pulling out a small red box, Ren placed it in her hand and said, "Open that."

Kyoko hesitated for a brief moment before she opened the box. A brightly sparkling diamond nested high on a ring shown at her. Sucking in her breath, she watched in silence as Tsuruga-san pulled the ring out and knelt down on one knee.

Slipping the ring firmly onto her finger he asked, "Morgami Kyoko, will you please be my wife?"

"But Tsuruga-san, you haven't answered my question, how can we be together when we are like this?"

Standing up, Ren pulled Kyoko into his arms and said, "I don't have all the answers but I do know that to be able to be friends as children, then grow up to meet each other as adults and grow to care for each other is already a great fate. I can't promise you that we won't have moments of suspicion and jealousy, but I can promise you that I will try my best to love you with all my heart."

Kyoko was taken aback. Struggling to resist him she fought to hold on to her current decision however, a small voice in her mind cried out: The person that can hurt you the most is never an enemy but rather your most beloved. However, a person that never gives up fear, will never obtain love.

For a shattering moment Ren thought Kyoko would reject him when he saw her close her eyes tightly. But when she slowly opened them and saw the love shining through them, he knew she had accepted him.

Smiling widely, Ren embraced her tightly. "Thank you!" he whispered as he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
