Spoiler: I am disappointed. I mean...really? We came all this way for this? ::sigh:: Spoilers lurk within. Not like I care. So we left off in the last chapter with the super drama buster DUN DUN DUN of Sho giving Kyoko a super kiss. Kyoko tries to wrestle away from him, but it looks more like she's sharing a passionate kiss with him instead. An very angry Ren approaches, but Kyoko finally manages to break free and yell at Sho for stealing her first kiss. He leaves, pleased that his "presence" inside of her is bigger than anyone else's. The girls of the Dark Moon try to console Kyoko over losing her first kiss, as she's nearly in tears over it. Ren looks very worried for her, but instead he laughs and says that crying over a first kiss is stupid.
If there is no RenxKyoko liplock in the next chapter, I will probably break something. I can't believe it! This is such a let down. I wanted a fantastic romantic scene, and instead Ren is pushing Kyoko away again. He should be comforting her! This chapter was much too short, and I am severely disappointed. Who knows, the story may yet turn around and turn this into a great arc. But right now, it looks like a painful repeat of the same old. Ren, make a move already! Blah...normally I'd write more, but I'm so discouraged right now.

I'm inclined to think he's doing the 'jerk' act for Kyoko. The best thing for her right now is to try to get over it, and this is likely the best way to help her do that.
And I'm pretty sure you won't get a Ren/Kyoko kiss till near the end of the manga. :) Welcome to shoujo.
Personally, I think Ren could not have reacted better. Kyoko doesn't need coddling right now; she needs a smack over the head. She needs to realize that kissing is not that big of a deal, which she'll have to realize eventually anyway given that she is an actress. Throughout her career, she will have many kisses, most with complete strangers.
And, more importantly for Ren, HE needs to negate Sho's actions. If this kiss means anything to Kyoko--even if it's "my first kiss was stolen by a jerk and I will never forgive him (or forget what he did)"--then Sho will have won. He'll have gotten exactly what he was aiming for. So the best thing that Ren can do is convince Kyoko that it was nothing--she was assaulted by some idiot today, and that was it.
But that's just my view on it; certainly, there wasn't a lot of violent, passionate drama, but there were plenty enough undertones to keep me happy.
