Confabulation.

Prologue.

It was a freak accident, no one could really take any blame. On later inspection it was found the pin had simply snapped. Yet that didn't give any comfort to the prop crew as they watched Tsuruga Ren push Kyoko aside as the large piece of scenery crashed down upon him, nor did the seeping trail of blood leaking from below the prop as 5 men lifted the boarding away revealing the prone unconscious figure beneath it. Kyoko was beside him in a flash tears spilling from her eyes as she checked his pulse.

Please be alive...

she begged as she held his wrist. The steady bump bump bump of the blood pulsing through his body calmed her senses a little as someone asked her if he was alive. All she could do was nod as trained professionals emerged on the scene. The ambulance had been called and they would be there as soon as possible, but Kyoko didn't see or hear any of this. Her head, her heart all her senses were trained on the man before her.

You better get better and until you do I will look after you...Ren...

When the ambulance arrived and Kyoko finally had to leave Ren's side, her co-star and friend Momose Itsumi pulled away the crying girl. Holding her gently in her arms she spoke reassuring words to her as some of the older female members tried to calm the crying girl too. They all had tears in their eyes too, the sight of the bleeding broken body of Japan's number one bachelor was not something anyone would expect to see. But the sight of the weeping dazed girl he had saved from the falling prop was just as heartbreaking.

Her first lead role, her first day filming, their first scene together. In the pit of Kyoko's stomach she knew this wasn't a good omen.

"So what have they said Mogami-san?" President Lory asked the girl sitting beside the bed of the young man he counted as a son. His heart ached painfully for the young pair. Kyoko was obviously distraught, Ren was a sickly pale white, his head heavily bandaged as he lay unconscious.

"They had to give him 18 stitches on a laceration above his right ear, they classified the accident as blunt force trauma to the head and they wish to run further tests once he wakes up. They did some tests already and there appears to be no internal bleeding, but they cannot rule out that this may affect him in other ways. We won't really know until he wakes up." her voice was quiet, slow and heart wrenching, her eyes never leaving the man in the bed before her.

"OK Mogami-san, do you want to go and get some rest? Its been a long day for you." she just shook her head slowly as she picked up Ren's hand in her own. True it had been a long day though she bet the president's had been much longer. He had been away on business out of the country when Kyoko had managed to call him. The 7 hour fight he took to get back to Japan would have taken its toll, she was sure.

"No sir, I'm not leaving him, not until he wakes up. It's my fault he is here in the first place, I'm going to look after him." Lory watched the young girl. No tears fell though her eyes held them,

How could she believe this was her doing?

"Mogami-san this is in no way your fault! How can you blame yourself for an accident, because that's what it was Mogami-san. It was an accident." he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. He didn't want this girl blaming herself for something that wasn't her fault. How could he let her think such a thing?

"He shouldn't have been hurt, it was going to hit me. Ren pushed me out of the way."

Lory gasped silently. He had heard a little of the details but not everything. So he pushed her out of the way to save the girl he loved, love sick fool he thought, but not in a nasty way.

When the boy woke up he would commend his bravery. Well maybe this was even a really good story to release to the press as to his condition and cause. The story had already been leaked so maybe they could turn this into a good thing for Ren.

"Kyoko-san," Lory said firmly, her eyes leaving Ren's for the first time at the sound of her given name from Lory's lips.

"I do not want to hear you blame yourself for this accident ever again. Do you understand me? Ren chose to protect you and I will not have you belittle his choice." he knew he used the correct words when Kyoko's eyes shone and trembled

"Of cause sir, I'm sorry. I didn't think of it like that." she admitted as Lory smiled. Of course she would never think of it like that and truly neither did he. He would not have this wonderful young woman blaming herself for the love sick puppy's actions.

"He cares about you a great deal Kyoko-san. If you truly feel indebted to him maybe you can help him get better and care for him when he gets out of hospital." he wanted to grin at this thought. He wanted to laugh at Ren's face when he had to have Kyoko around him 24/7. Oh he would have so much fun with this. Kyoko's words shocked him out of his private fantasies of the torture this would be for the young man.

"Don't worry president, I intend to take care of him until he is better, I have a debt to repay." silent tears spilt from her eyes finally free as Lory squeezed her shoulder again.

"It's not a debt Kyoko-san, its friendship." she nodded silently.

Kyoko awoke suddenly as the hand she was holding stirred. She was lying on the side of the bed Ren slept in. It was dark and she had no idea what time it could be. Pulling her phone from her pocket, she flipped it open: 3:12am it read as she looked back at the sleeping face. His hand twitched again and she squeezed it gently. The eyes which had been shut moments ago flickered open slowly. It took a few moments for his eyes to focus but finally in a soft, cracked voice,

"Kyoko.." her heart stopped at the sound of her name from his lips.

"I'm here Tsuruga-san, give me a moment while I go and inform the nurse you're awake." she could hardly hear her own words for the bass thumping of her heart in her own ears.

The way he had said her name...no this is not the time to think about that!

After she found the nurse, she went straight to the waiting room to wake Lory. It took only a few minutes and they both entered the private room where a doctor was checking over all Ren's vital signs and reactions. Shining a light in his eyes, getting him to follow the light and the like. As soon as Ren saw Kyoko and Lory walk back in, he tried to sit up straighter but grasped his head. As he did so, the pounding in his skull got worse.

"Honey, are you OK?" he asked suddenly, eyes fixated on Kyoko. She looked around and behind herself as suddenly Ren continued,

"Who's got the children if you're here?" He asked looking between Lory and was too much. One moment Kyoko was standing next to Lory and the next moment,darkness. Lory grabbed her before she could fall. Taking her in his arms as Ren tried to struggle out of bed.

"Kyoko...Kyoko" he called as he tried to push the nurses away.

"Don't worry Kuon she has just fainted. It's been a long day and she hasn't slept worrying about you. I'll just lay her down then come and speak to you OK?" Kuon nodded and stopped fighting the restraining nurses. Lory carried Kyoko to the restroom and left her there under a nurses care as his mind raced.

He had known that voice and the mannerisms. As soon as Ren had spoken he had known it was Kuon talking. Why had he called Kyoko "honey" and what was this about children? He would have to find out. After a long session of questioning from the doctor and Lory, they told Kuon to check for damage as they left the room together, leaving Kuon to sleep again.

"So what is your professional opinion?" Lory asked as they stood a little away from the room.

"I've only heard of it briefly but the only name I can attach to Tsuruga-san's condition is Confabulation." Lory nodded. This surely was going to be a problem.

hehe :P

Confabulation is a memory disturbance, defined as the production of fabricated, distorted or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world, without the conscious intention to deceive. Confabulation is distinguished from lying as there is no intent to deceive and the person is unaware the information is false. Although individuals can present blatantly false information, confabulation can also seem to be coherent, internally consistent, and relatively normal. Individuals who confabulate present incorrect memories ranging from "subtle alterations to bizarre fabrications", and are generally very confident about their recollections, despite contradictory known causes of confabulation are caused by brain damage or dementias, such as alcoholism, aneurysm or Alzheimer's disease.

Thank you for reading :)

EEK! I hope she wakes up soon! She can't leave Kuon sitting there after he just woke up himself.
