This is my very first fanfic so criticism is appreciated. If I should continue with the story, please tell me.

"Ren…" Kyoko cooed into his ear as he trailed kisses down her neck. Her warm breath on his neck coupled with the alcohol in his system dismissed all thoughts of restraint. "I love you," she whispered. "I love you to," he said as he began to unzip her dress…..

The next morning Ren woke to find the woman of his dreams curled up by his side. The early morning sun leaking in through the curtains only added to her radiance, and he smiled at the sight of her. Then came the memories of the past night and he found himself grinning from ear to ear despite his miserable headache.

He looked over at the clock and sighed deeply. He had dreaded leaving her. Now he loathed the idea of it, but it couldn't be helped. He had work to do back in Japan. He reached over to caress her cheek gently before planting a soft kiss on her forehead and getting out of bed. Kyoko didn't stir.

Kyoko woke up with a massive headache and Ren no where in sight. She sat up groggily and looked around, trying to remember where she was. This wasn't her hotel room. She remembered being at he cast party for _. She had been drinking a bit and Ren had offered to walk her back to her room. Ren…. She remembered now. This was his room and they had… Kyoko blushed like mad at the thought of it. She turned even more red upon turning to find her discarded dress laying neatly over the back of a chair along with her undergarments. He must have picked them up off the floor this morning..

She turned to get out of bed but she did so to quickly and the dizziness forced her to lay back down. Her head was pounding. She looked over at the bedside table to find a glass of water with some aspirin and a note that said simply 'To help with the headache'. It was Ren's handwriting. Kyoko smiled and took the medicine.

Only after this did she become aware of the sound of the shower running. She wasn't sure if she realized this because she was more aware now or because it had just turned off. Then it hit her. The shower turned off. Ren was coming! She had just enough time to cover herself with the blanket before he stepped out of the bathroom with naught but a towel wrapped around his waist.

He looks over at her and smiles. "Ah, you're awake. Good." Kyoko was on the verge of exploding from embarrassment. "Yes, so I am.." she laughed nervously. Ren looks at her questioningly, "What's wrong?" He sits down beside her and places his hand on her forehead which was now warm and reddening more by the second. "Are you feeling ill?" She shook her head frantically, "No, no. I'm fine, Tsuruga-san. Don't worry." She then for some reason became very interested in her hands.

Ren sensed her nervousness and he hated it. Something had to be done. "Kyoko." No sooner had she lifted her eyes then she felt Ren's lips presses firmly against her own. The kiss was sweet and gentle; so different from the kisses of last night but amazing all the same. She enjoyed it so much, when Ren pulled away she followed him. He was immensely surprised but not at all displeased. He continued to kiss her wrapping his arms around her slender form and pulling her closer to him.

His touch intoxicated her. The feeling of his bare chest pressed against her own was more than she could handle but she couldn't stop herself. She loved his closeness. She loved the warmth of his body against hers and the comfort it brought. She loved the movement of his lips over her skin and the gentle caressing of his hands as he laid her down in the bed again, never breaking contact with her. Eventually they was forced to stop because they were both so out of breath. Ren leaned over to whisper in her ear, "My name is Ren." Kyoko looked at him in utter confusion for a few moments then the realization dawned on her.

"Say it," he commanded. "Ren-san," she said. Ren sighed. "Really, Kyoko? Don't you think we're past the honorifics?" he said as he kissed her lightly. She blushed crimson, "Ren.."

"Good girl. Again." "Ren" "One more time" "Ren"

He was grinning from ear to ear. "Once more." "Ren! why are you making me say it so many times?"

He lets out a soft chuckle, "Because I love hearing you say my name. It sounds so much nicer when you say it." Kyoko blushes harder. Ren just smiles and decided it's a good time to get off of her. He walks over to his suit case and pulls out two sets of clothes. He sets one to the side and starts putting on the other.

Kyoko couldn't take her eyes off him. He was gorgeous. She kicked herself for being disappointed when he had finished dressing, and Ren turned to find Kyoko bright red with embarrassment over what she had just been thinking about.

He laughed, "You should probably get a shower soon if you're going to see me off in time." Kyoko looked at the clock. It read 7:47. Ren had to leave the hotel by nine, at the latest. "I suppose you right."

It took all of her courage to get out of bed, fully exposing herself to Ren. She couldn't bring herself to look at him as she passed him to go to the bathroom, but when she got there the door wouldn't open. She could feel Ren's eyes on her and it made her uncomfortable to no end, but she couldn't escape it. No matter what she tried the door wouldn't open.

She nearly stopped breathing when she felt Ren's strong arms snake around her body. "You really shouldn't be so embarrassed, love. It's okay," he said as he reached forward to open the door. It gave him no problems. Kyoko cursed under her breath but Ren only laughed. He handed her the other set of clothes he had gotten out earlier.

"Put these on when you finish," he said just before planting a kiss on her cheek and releasing her. He stood by the door until he heard the shower start then once he was certain that he had everything that he needed packed and ready to go, he went downstairs to get breakfast.

When Kyoko stepped out of the bathroom she noticed that everything was in order and Ren's luggage was sitting beside the door. The only thing that looked out of place was her dress from the night before laying over the back of a chair. Then she notices the pile of packaged food on the table and Ren wrestling with an overly wrapped English muffin.

"What is all this?" Kyoko yells, marching over to take muffin from him. "Breakfast," he says, taking the muffin back and finally succeeding in opening it. "It's all junk food! Ren, you really have to take better care of yourself. What do you think would happen if you got sick again?"

Ren just laughed. "That's what I have you for," he says, giving her a small peck on the lips. Kyoko can feel the heat on her cheeks but she can't seem to stop and ended up lost somewhere in Lala Land. She didn't recover until she felt cold air blowing against her neck. She turned to find Ren laughing at her. She hit his chest. "You're a demon! Don't tease me like that!" she exclaimed turning more and more red by the second.

He only smiled at her. "You'd better eat something. If we don't hurry people will be out and about soon and it will be much harder to get you back to your own room without anyone noticing."

Kyoko looked at him in total confusion. Ren sighed, "Think about what you're wearing Kyoko, and leaving a man's room at that. What would people think?" Then it hit her. "Oh…."

"Not that it wasn't a good thing," Ren said, "but do you really want everybody knowing about it? Especially the press." At this remark Kyoko looked a bit panicked. "No," she replied, "You are absolutely right." She began to scarf down her breakfast as quickly as she could.

Fifteen minutes later Kyoko was in her room changing into her own clothes. She looked out the window. The snow must have been three feet deep, but she had been told to expect that when she first got here. Autumn is generally a very enjoyable season; the weather is just perfect. However, Autumn in Siberia is frigid, no other way to describe it.

They had come here to film a movie. There was just alittle under a month of filming left and Ren had already finished all the scenes that required his presence, so he was leaving. It worked out well since he had another project to start back in Japan, but it upset Kyoko that would have to be away from her sempai, especially after finally realizing their feelings for each other.

It had only been a week before that Ren had told her that he loved her and it had come as a total shock. She had had no idea he felt that way, but all the same she was glad. Then Kyoko thought about what happened last night. 'Amazing what a little alcohol will do,' she thought. "If I had been sober I never would have done that," she thought for a moment. "Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't."

Less than on hour later she was seeing Ren and Yashiro off. "Good bye, Mogami-san. I hope we'll see you again soon," Yashiro told her. She smiled at him, "I hope so to."

She then turned to Ren. As soon as she saw his face her mind went blank; it was all she could do to stare at her shoes. So she stood there, babbling like an idiot about nothing at all. After this had gone on for about a minute Ren decided it was time to put her out of her misery though he found her nervousness incredibly cute. "Kyoko," he said.

"Ye-," she looked up just in time to catch Ren's kiss on her lips. Yashiro was in shock to say the least. His brain refused to process what he was seeing. In the past week he had been able to tell something was different between them, but he hadn't figured out what and he certainly hadn't considered that it had gotten this far. Luckily for him he was able to snap out of it a bit before the kiss ended, giving him time to snap a picture and regain his composure.

Ren pulled back, still cradling her face in his hands. "I love you," he said. Kyoko smiled, "I love you to. Call me?" "Of course I will," he replied, "and I'll see you in a few weeks." She just smiled and nodded her head. Much to soon it seemed to Kyoko, she watched them disappear onto the plane.

Three weeks later Ren received a letter in the mail.

My Dearest Ren,

I feel I must apologize to you. I won't be able to come back to Japan when I had said I would. In fact I don't know if I'll ever come back. Something very important has happened. I can't talk about it. I'm sorry. Just know that everything is alright, and don't worry about me.

Love,

Kyoko
