Chapter Eleven: One and Only
Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat
Dawn emerged and Kyoko was wide awake and ready for the day wondering whether or not the events that happened yesterday was reality. Pulling out the purple stone and looking at it, Kyoko decided that yesterday was real. Ren had spilled his feeling all over her. She was happy again. Knowing that there was someone who loved her for being herself. She didn't have to pretend in front of anyone anymore. Ren was now hers as much as she was his. They belong together, like two puzzle pieces that fit together. Kyoko seemed pretty disappointed that she and Ren were not acting the roles of lovers anymore.
Dancing over to her closet, Kyoko waltzed in to pick out an outfit that expresses her happiness. She raided her closet and confirmed that none of her clothes seemed right. She closed her closet door and saw a bright, pink jump suit that she was required to wear to work every single day. She looked at the suit and realized that this attire was filled with many of her finest memories.
"I am going to wear my Love Me suit today!" Kyoko says with joy putting on the outfit. She glances at the clock and she had thirty minutes until her work started.
"I am going to go early today." Kyoko leaves her house and heads to work.
Ren woke up by rays of the sun hitting his face. He sat up and a smile beamed on his face.
"I can't believe I finally told her. I wonder what Kyoko will wear today?" Ren finished getting ready for the day. He wore a black suit and a black tie; his normal attire.
The door bell rang and Ren knew it was Yashiro, but he hoped it was opened the door and standing before him was Yashiro.
"What are you doing here, Yashiro?"
"Well, isn't that welcoming. I am here to take you to work like always...Oh..I know...You were expecting Kyoko to be at the door...weren't you?"
"Why would you say that?"
"Let's just say that the president told me that you and Kyoko were pretty hot and heavy last night when he interrupted. Is that right, Ren?"
Ren didn't hear Yashiro, because as soon as Yashiro said 'Kyoko' and 'hot and heavy' in the same sentence, he was out of it.
"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME REN?" Ren snapped out of his imagination.
"Did you say something?"
"No...nothing at all...only that we are going to be late if we don't leave now."
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
Ren and Yashiro were in the car in an instant to go to work.
Yashiro kept trying to get Ren to fess up about what happened between him and Kyoko yesterday, but Ren said nothing. Sooner or later, Yashiro gave up. They arrived at LME studios and did not ruin Ren's punctual reputation. Walking up the steps to the building, Ren could see a pink figure through the windows. It must be her. he thought. Opening the doors, his eyes rested on the person in pink and surely enough, it was Kyoko. She turned immediately to Ren.
"Hi...Tsuruga...Did you eat breakfast yet?."
Ren was sort of disappointed that she still called him by his sir name, but she was right to do so at work. He must keep his personal life and work life a secret.
"No...I forgot to..."
"I turn my back for one second and you do something careless. Yashiro, you may leave him to me. I am going to take him to the dining hall."
Kyoko reaches for Ren's arm and pulls him along. Ren longs to take her hand in his and lace his fingers through hers, but he knows that will catch other people's attention. Kyoko was surprised that he didn't. She half expected him to reach out for her they made it to the dining hall, Kyoko walked up to a table.
"You stay here, while I go buy you something to eat."
Ren pulled out some cash and handed it to Kyoko.
"Kyoko, use my money. I can tell that you haven't eaten yet, so but yourself something to eat, as well."
"How could you tell?"
"You can hear your stomach growl a mile away."
"..Oh..."Blush crept on Kyoko's face and Ren started laughing. Ren's laugh was melodious and filled the air with pleasure. Kyoko went to the cashier and bought two breakfast meals that contained eggs, bacon, and a biscuit. She brought them back to the table and took a seat right next to Ren.
"Ren?"
"Yes, Kyoko?"
"When can we make this public?"
"What do you mean by 'this?'"
"I mean us...I don't want to have to hide my feelings about you in front of everyone...I..I love you...and I want the whole world to know about our relationship. That's why I wore my Love Me uniform. It's filled with so many of my happiest memories...and most of them were with you."
Right then, Ren did something he has been yearning to do all day long. He leaned in and touched Kyoko's soft, pale, pink lips with his. He didn't care who was watching them. All he wanted was Kyoko, and she was there right next to him.
He pulled away and looked her in the eyes. "You are mine. I don't want the world to tell you differently. The paparazzi will be all over you once we make this public...are you sure you want that?"
Kyoko smiled. "Like you said. I am your's...whatever comes with the package, I am all for it." She laid her head on his shoulders as he placed his arm gently on her shoulder farthest from him.
They matched perfectly like two puzzle pieces that fit together. Both like the lion and the lamb, Ren the lamb and Kyoko the lion. From that moment on, Ren and Kyoko triumphed over their struggles and conquered hardships, and they always stayed together. Four years had passed and during them, Ren and Kyoko starred in a romance TV series where they were the leading roles. On Kyoko's twentieth birthday, Ren proposed to her. Kyoko was speechless and left Ren hanging for a minute, then joyfully accepted. After that, they lived happily ever after. Kyoko was Ren's true one and only girl for him.
