Chapter One: Ren's Secret

Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat

Ren Tsuruga peeks into Kyoko Mogami's bedroom only to find her sound asleep. He walks closer to her and bends down to whisper in her ear.

"Mogami-san this is a dream....you are dreaming right now."

"Tsu...Tsuruga? Is that you?" Kyoko mumbles in her sleep.

"Yes. It is me. I need to tell you something important, very important. I have wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I did not know how to."

"What is it you want to say?" Kyoko turns in her sleep still mumbling.

"I can't tell you now, so meet me in the garden several blocks away at 2:00 later today. I will be waiting."

Ren brushes Kyoko's hair with his hand and then leaves the room. Kyoko wakes up.

"Something is telling me that at 2:00 I have to be in the garden....What time is it now?"

She glances at her clock. It was 1:55. She hops out of her bed and brushes her hair and does her makeup so that she looks decent. She dashes downstairs and goes outside and goes on her way to the garden.

Ren is sitting on a bench. I know I told her that I will tell her my past....but now that I think about it....I am not sure I can. He glances at his watch and it reads 1:58. Two more minutes.

All of a sudden it starts to pour. Ren doesn't care.....he still waits for her.

"Great. It's raining. My dress is getting all wet...Why did I have to wear all white today?" Kyoko is still running to get to the garden."Oh crap! Why in the world did I decide to wear heels today? This wardrobe just isn't working out." She takes off her shoes and starts running again. Now she is soaking wet. She looks at the time at a store's clock and it is 2:15. Dang it!! I am 15 minutes late....stupid rain.

"Why is she so late? I hope nothing happened to her...she should have taken a cab." He squint his eyes to look in the distance. There Kyoko is running right to him. She finally made it.

"Tsuruga why are you here? Did you somehow tell me that I needed to be here?"

"Something like that." he smiles. He glances at her and immediately turns away and blushes. He takes of his suit jacket and hands it to Kyoko. "Here, put this on."

"Why I am not cold.."

"You need it if I can tell that you are wearing a laced, brown polka dotted, all over green bra from Victoria's Secret and a light green bikini that is small enough to be called a thong."

Kyoko blushes and looks down. That is exactly what she had on as far as underwear goes. She takes his jacket.

"Can we go somewhere where it's not cold and rainy? Like I don't know....my place...or your place....since it is closer."

"Sure...I'll drive."

"So...what was it you wanted to tell me?"

"I will tell you when we get to my home."

"Oh ok.....umm...Tsuruga....do you mind if I clean up and wear some of your clothes....I really don't plan on getting sick in the near future."

"Whatever floats your boat." He quickly sends Kyoko a smile. "We're here."

They both get out of the car and go inside Ren's place.

"I am pretty sure you are familiar with where everything is...If you need anything, just holler."

"Sure, sure."

Kyoko heads to the closet and takes out a towel. She walks into the bathroom and strips her clothes off. She turns on the shower to hot enough where her skin can bear and walks in. The first thing she does is splash her face.

"I wonder what Tsuruga wants to tell me...I have this feeling that it is very important."

Kyoko forgets to lock the bathroom door and Ren walks in. He sits down in the chair that is right next to the shower and starts to talk to Kyoko.

"Mogami-san...."

"Tsuruga!! What are you doing in here?"

"I came to talk to you."

"Did the concept that I am naked at this moment ever cross your mind."

"Don't tell me that...Don't say things like that or I might be tempted to join you."

"What??"

"Nothing."

Both Ren and Kyoko are silent for the time being. Kyoko ignores the fact that there is a man in the same room as her while she has nothing on and she continues her shower. She turns off the water and reaches for her towel and puts it around her securely. Kyoko steps out and sees that Ren is also in just a towel.

"Tsuruga...What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the fact that you are just in a towel....why??"

"All of my clothes are wet, too."

"But you live here... can't you find other clothes to wear?"

"I didn't want to leave you."

Kyoko sees Ren's clothes all over the bathroom floor.

"What do you mean, Tsuruga?"

"Call me Ren...please call me Ren." he stands up and walks to where he is standing just a couple inches from Kyoko.

"No...I will not call you Ren....because you don't call me Kyoko."

"Then I will start this very moment and call you Kyoko and no longer Mogami-san."

Kyoko blushes and Ren grabs a lock of her hair and lifts it up to his face and he smells it.

"Kyoko...May I now tell you my story...."

"Go for it." Kyoko forgets that they both stand next to each other almost naked.

"Kyoko...please do not be alarmed...Do you remember when you showed me your precious stone and you told me about Corn? Well, I have seen that stone before....and this 'Corn' you spoke of was actually 'Kuon'...no matter...that 10 year old boy you called Corn was me."

Kyoko just stood silent. Tears began to fall on her face. Then she spoke.

"Are you sure? Corn told me he was a fairy prince."

"Yes I am quite sure. I told you that story because I did not like seeing your tears, nor do I now." Ren wipes Kyoko's tears away with his thumbs, but her tears kept coming." Please do not be sad."

"Why would I be sad? I finally get to meet my prince once again." She embraces Ren and he puts his arms around her. He pulls her away and out of some instinct, he places his lips gently on Kyoko's mouth and kisses her.
