Chapter 1 – Heartache

As the sunlight streamed through the thin, flowing curtains and into the room, Kyoko moaned as she shifted onto her back. She sighed, her eyes still closed. Her body ached all over as she desperately tried to sit up. She had hardly slept a wink all night due to a certain tall, dark famous someone occupying her mind.

Sitting up, she rubbed her weary eyes and curled her back over. She breathed out heavily. Her head felt heavy, her throat felt sore, her legs felt stiff.

Why was she like this?

Crawling out of her covers, she mindlessly pulled on some clothes, yawning every now and then. Slipping on her boots, she trudged downstairs, her dreary-eyed Grudge Kyokos in tow. They hovered above her as she ranted on inside her head about getting no sleep.

" I ache all over...my eyes are practically closed...I can hardly keep my head up-right for a single second..." she thought, reaching the ground.

" But I will get to see Tsuruga-san today..." she thought. That was something worth smiling about. A small, blissful smile warmed onto her face, the Grudge Kyokos fizzling into nothing at the blinding light shining from her.

"He should be at the office today, before he goes off to work. Does he have work? I hope not..." she thought as she sank into the chair.

Okami-san laid her breakfast in front of her, a dumbstruck expression as she looked at Kyoko's face. She was smiling while looking at nothing, absolutely oblivious to anything.

Suddenly, she jumped and came back to reality.

"Kyoko-chan!" Okami-san shouted at Kyoko, waving her hand in front of Kyoko's face. "If you don't eat up, you're going to be late. And Tsuruga-san isn't picking you up today, is he? So you'll have to cycle."

Kyoko stared at the clock on the wall. She let out a small shriek of horror. She shovelled the food in her mouth before quickly brushing her teeth, grabbing the bike outside the door and leaving.

Okami-san huffed with disapproval. A second later, the door re-opened and Kyoko's head whipped round.

"Thank you for the meal! I'm leaving, Okami-san, Taisho!" She waved her hand as she closed the door again.

Okami-san went back to wiping a table-top. She smiled while shaking her head.

"That girl..."

"Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!" went Tsuruga Ren's clock as it turned over to 6:00 am.

His sleep had been relatively successful, due to his dream being about him and Love Me Section member Number 1. He moaned slightly as he woke, to find himself on his front, holding his pillow dearly to himself. He rolled his eyes.

"So it was only a dream..." he thought to himself as he remembered the vivid pictures in his memory.

"If only..." he thought, sitting up and pushing back his covers. He sat on the edge of his bed, naked apart from his boxers hanging loosely around the tops of his toned thighs.

Getting up, he huffed and turned on his stereo. The song 'Believer' by The Monkees began to play, and Ren turned the sound up high. He had a quick two minute shower and got dressed. He was about to sit down at the table, when he thought better of it. Quickly picking up his coat, he dashed out of his apartment, the door clicking shut as he closed it behind him.

Down at the car park below the block of apartments, Ren pulled out his keys and clicked the unlocking button. The orange lights blinked at him as the doors unlocked. Reaching down, he opened the door and slid in. Sitting there for a few minutes, he thought. He looked at the passenger seat beside him – empty. And it would stay that way all day. He sighed.

"I really need to see her...Just see her face..." he thought as he leant his head on the steering wheel. "I know..." he thought as an idea struck him. He pulled out his phone, flicked it open, selected Kyoko and pressed the green phone. He held it to his ear and waited.

Brrr brrr...brrr brrr...brrr brrr...

Ren listened patiently to the noise of the phone trying to connect.

The phone clicked and a voice began to speak.
