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?
