Kanae felt as if the two had tricked her in some way. Before she had left they weren't even speaking and in the two days she was gone they had not only made up but had become a couple. She wanted to know what they did whenever they vanished together or when Kyouko sneaked out of their hotel room to go see him, but she dared not ask. How could she ask her best friend about such private moments, when she couldn't even see the girl as a woman. Kyouko was supposed to be an innocent maiden.

"Mo! It's only two days. You don't cling to me like this when I have to go somewhere." Her words fell on deaf ears as she watched the two say their goodbyes.

Ren had another job to get to, and Kyouko wasn't very happy to see him go. When it came time for him to leave, Kanae spotted them sneak off together and she followed them. Blushing from head to toe she watched them share a passionate kiss. She couldn't believe them; anyone could just walk by but there they were as if they hadn't a care in the world.

"I hope you two use protection." Kanae almost found the blush on Kyouko's cheeks endearing, if it wasn't for such a perverted reason she would even have thought it was cute.

"Moko-san!." Kyouko jumped away from the tall man as if he had burned her. "How long have you been there?" She stared down at her feet, trying to control the redness of her cheeks. Ren pat her head and kissed her on the temple.

Kanae rolled her eyes, at the gesture. "Long enough." She sneered crossing her arms and glaring at her best friend. There was some relief in knowing that Kyouko was still modest enough to blush, though the fact that she hadn't answered the questioned hadn't gone unnoticed by Kanae.

"Kotonami-san." Ren called out to her, and lifted a colorful bag out to her.

"What is it?" Kanae asked, curious after seeing all of the new clothes he had gotten Kyouko. Kyouko had explained that he had traded in the dresses he had bought her for clothes. He was always doing that, buying something really expensive so Kyouko would talk him into buying things that were more cost efficient. Kanae wondered if Kyouko knew he was tricking her into accepting more things for the same price as his original present.

"It's a present." Irked by his mocking tone Kanae stepped over to them to take the bag.

"How come Moko-san gets a present?" Kyouko asked but if she was jealous she hid it well. Kanae thought she seemed only curious to know what was in the bag.

"Because my girlfriend put a cap on the number of presents I'm allowed to give her a month." Ren answered indignantly. Then with a defiant smile he added. "I found a loophole. And since it's a present for Kanae and not you, I can spend as much money as I want. As long as she agrees to share it with you for one of your girl's nights."

Kanae peaked into the bag to find overpriced spa and beauty products. She had bought a few of the inexpensive packages of clay masks before and given one to Kyouko. Ren had given her a tub of what Kanae recognized as being a very high end and sought after brand of mask.

"Ren." Kyouko whined at her boyfriend as he walked away from them.

"It's a deal right, Kotonami-san. I'll buy you things, if you promise to share with Kyouko." Kanae glared at the love fool and handed the bag to Kyouko.

"That man is annoyingly likable."
