The Butterfly Effect. (Skip Beat! Fanfic)

Sobering Thoughts.

"Kyoko-chan I believe we are in Las Vegas"

The shock in her eyes was enormous as she began to tremble slightly. Her knees seemed to give way as she reached up, placing her left hand on his chest to steady herself, something on her hand caught the lights that were shining through the now opened curtains. The large flower shaped ring on her finger with the smaller band of white and blue stones shimmered brilliantly as they both noticed them. Instantly, Ren raised his own left hand and his heart stopped as a thick metal ring encased his own finger too.

It was too much this time. Her legs really did give way. As Kyoko fainted Ren caught her gently. Slowly carrying her back to the bed, he lay her down, before getting in next to her slowly and wrapping his arms around her.

This must be a dream...he thought as he drifted off to sleep with the woman he loved cradled in his arms.

But if it is a dream I hope I never wake up again...

Lory stared at the articles spread out before him

"So any bright ideas for this mess?" he asked as they all moved forward to look at the articles too.

'Fuwa Sho accused live on TV by Tsuruga Ren!'

'Tsuruga Ren reveals Fuwa's real name and dark past'

'Ren reveals hearts desire but who is said woman?'

'Search for "said woman" begins'

"Nice of him to run off and elope leaving us with all the mess!" Lory mumbled as Jelly and Kijima did a double take at Lory,

"ELOPED?" they both screamed.

Yashiro did a happy little jig to let out his excitement as he showed them both the purchase of 2 wedding rings and one engagement ring from Tiffany's and Co., Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas.

"Well I'll be damned!" Jelly chuckled as she too began grinning and Kijima just looked lost for words.

"He isn't being cheap on this venture either is he?" Jelly commented as she realised the rings and room alone was basically an average yearly wage for some people.

Doing a quick sum in her head, "So he has basically just spent $22,000 on four things, God she's a lucky girl I can't wait to see the rings!" she wiggled, a little excited now for the two people she had fallen in love with.

"Yes, but what we have to hope for now is that he can keep the rings on Mogami-san's finger." Lory sighed as he had already had a rough idea of what must have happened.

"What do you mean prez?" Kijima asked speaking for the first time since the word elope had come up.

"Well, if they had drank as much as that card statement appears to say, I doubt very much either of them was in a sober state. Mogami-san is very scared of love, thinks too much about their status in the professional world, and his career. God I hope he knows what to do when she gets sober." Lory collected the articles together on his desk.

For a boring guy he is giving me way too much trouble...

Yet even thinking this he was smiling,

Go get her boy...

"But she loves him? Why would this be a problem?" Jelly asked as she looked at Lory's smiling face.

"Because my dear, she is the number one love me girl. She has been denying her love for so long and only realised it recently. She believes Ren is too good for her and is scared of hurting his career when *Points at the articles* he does a good enough job by himself it seems." Jelly looked outraged at the very thought.
