AN: I have a lot going on in my life right now that is causing me to not want to work on many of my Skip Beat fics because they have too many moving pieces so I'm going to work on one fic, this fic, until school ends and I only have to think about work and not working 30+ hours and going to school and homework another 30 hours. I really do hope that you enjoy this fic though since it's something that I've been thinking of for a while. 😊

Q and A

Chapter 0 – The Letter

Lory Takarada sighed as he ran a hand over the turban that was covering his hair. His garb for the day was that of a Middle Eastern snake charmer. It was something that he did love because he got to play with his snake. However, what he saw in front of him was something that he was not fond of. It was a letter in a plain envelope from one of the top magazine companies:

Takarada-sama,

We hate to act as if we are serving you a threat but please give us new information on the subject of Tsuruga Ren. We feel that it is in both of our best interests to promote your actor before he begins to stale like rotting bread and enamel cheese. If we are unable to learn about your human products, we may have to do our own investigations of the subject.

Lory had to admit that he liked the way that the magazine editor had written that letter with a comedic touch to it, it at least showed a bit of personality behind it. However, he wouldn't want them to get too involved with Ren's life and he definitely didn't want anyone else to report in big letters that Ren Tsuruga was only a stage name.

Ren would never answer these questions to him and whereas he could write the answers himself, that might backfire if there was ever a day when Ren Tsuruga was laid to rest and Kuon Hizuri acted in front of the camera instead. He would have to think up something. He would have to find a plan…a very interesting and entertaining plan perhaps.

Lory picked up the phone and dialed the extension for Sawara, "Hi, it's me," he said with a smile. "Is Kyoko-san in? I have a personal request to make of her. A test for the Love Me section?" Lory smiled.

How he would feel to that girl asking questions would be a different matter and now that he knew that the two of them liked one another, well, imagine all the ways that fate would bring them together and who knew how sharp Cupid's arrows would be.
