A/N: Right now it seems like this story was darker in my head than it actually is, BUT I'm not quite positive so I'm still submiting it as M and in the dark catergory. It'll still be dark even if it's not as dark as my mind thought of it as. It'll be dark just not be like "in a safe TOTALLY DARK" Someone wanna Beta this story? Message me or email me. Please!

Prologue/Backstory

I have been in my home country, America, for five years now. The movie I was in, I was acting BJ (Cain Heel), became really popular in America so we reshot the movie and re-released it in America. They shot the next movie in America and got some new cast memebers. I had gotten a few movie jobs in America and desided to take them. I soon had a nomination for a Grammy after two years in America. I came back to Japan on business once in a while but I had a really hetic schedule. Coming from Japan to America took a lot of fame and talent. When I Tsuruga Ren (who had never been to America) went to America I saw that it was totally different. (Even Kuon thought it was different when he came back) They wanted more apperances, talk-shows, etc from me and they made up a lot of "HE'S DATING..." or "HE DATED..." After I got an American Grammy I became world renown and I learned 2 more languages (French and Russian).

Now, you're probably wondering "What happened to Kyoko?" We were getting so close as brother and sister and then I just left. I told her goodbye, of course, but it was all so quick... That's what I regret now, but at the time acting was my top priority. I tried to keep in contact, I called her once a week for the first month and then once a month for about a year and a half, but after a year and seven months she just vanished. After her Natsu role in the Box R Chronicles she became a hit in Japan and was the most requested actress. Then for about a month she didn't go to work nor did she answer my monthly call. The president said she was okay and everything was in control that she just had an accident. She called me two weeks after she started going back to the work she had again and she was different... Something changed but I couldn't place what. She sounded just as happy and naive as before but it was off. After she finished her set of movies she was doing she fell off the radar. She was still in movies and commericals but not as the lead. She went to doing minor roles and Japan quickly forgot about her as a new actress took her place. She called me once a year now.


Present, Now.

I heard my phone ringing in another room and my girlfriend picked up the phone. She looked at the number and said, "I don't know what this number! OH MY GOD! ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME?"

I sighed and got up from bed and took my phone. It took her a little bit to give it up but after I looked at the area code I realized that it was a Japanese call. I told her this and it sort of calmed her down but she still stormed out after I picked it up. I couldn't wait until this movie premier was over so I could dump that overdramatic...

The person at the other end shouted, "Hello?"

Ren replied, "Oh. Hello, boss. Why are you calling me?"

He beat around the bush, "I was calling to see how you were! Do I always have to have a secret motive?"

I responded without second thought, "Yes."

President laughed and replied, "You get straight to the point don't cha? Well... I know right now you're in between movies, I asked Yashiro, and... Well, I was wondering if you could come back here and do a favor for me."

I smiled and before I would have never taken any time off but I missed Japan. I asked, "What's this favor about?"

The president squirmed in his seat. He knew he was going to ask but he still hoped he didn't. "Well, I have a top star who needs to be in check. I told her that she had to or I'd kick her out but her reply was if I did she'd just go to another company. It was heartbreaking that one of my angels would abandon me so easily!"

I wondered what this had to do with me, "So what do you want me to do?"

The president nonchalantly said, "Oh not much. I just want you to be around her and be a good influence to her. :)"

I sighed and told the president that I would come back. He screamed with delight. I told my mother and father about this and they decided to take a break from work and come to Japan with me.

We got on an airplane two days later. I broke up with my girlfriend soon after I got off the phone with the boss. That's what held us up. I had to go to the boss of the coperation I was at, then I had to do a talk show the next night, and still be nice to her even though she was bashing me. It was a mess and it was Boss's last request to me. I was more than happy to oblige.

I hate plane rides. I was so tall and I was cramped into a little seat. Yes, I was in a private jet but the seat was still small compared to me. It was the reason why I didn't go back to Japan as much as I would have liked, besides the fact that I was trying to save the planet by not using that much fuel and killing baby seals.

When we got off the plane ride, I stretched my muscles and looked around. President said that he would have a car there waiting for me and one for my parents. I said that we could just ride together but boss said that I was going to meet my charge and they were going to get settled. It made sense but I still didn't want to waste gas but it was the president. My parents went in there car. They asked if they should wait and I replied no. They left and twenty minutes later a flashy what-used-to-be-sliver porsche pulled into the parking lot. It had splashes of paint every color all over it and in English it said, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK AS LONG AS IT'S ABOUT ME! ;)" on the side. My eyes almost fell out of it's sockets as I looked at the car but when I saw the... woman who got out of the car, I swear, my eyeballs did fall out.

She was wearing a bright green halter top with a ton of cuts in it, some had fabric underneath some did not, and booty shorts with bright pink stockings underneath. Her shoes were white platform heels with a green bow on top one shoe and a pink bow on top of the other while her hair was a total mess with a white headband to keep it back. Her make-up was all over the place and she wore bright pink lip stick. The whole outfit screamed, "I'M DIFFERENT!" with a not so subtle hint of "SLUT". I stared at her and she laughed.

She spoke to me in English taunting me, "Come on! Are you afraid that I'm gonna eat you up?" She laughed and skipped around to open my car door while she sat back inside the drivers side. I personally did not trust her driving but it didn't look like I had a choice. I sighed and walked over to the open car door and sat down. While she drove out she said, "Hello. My name is Kiyoko and I'm your tour guide for this afternoon." She giggled and put the pedal to the metal.

Ren says, "AND SOMEONE PLEASE BE HER BETA OR SHE'LL KILL ME!"

I reply, "What? I'll never kill you, Ren-chan!"

Ren pleads, "OH YES SHE WILL! WITH HER GRAMATICAL ERRORS AND HER RUN ON SENTENCES!"
