Chapter 1
Valentine's Day Nightmare
Kyoko POV
Tomorrow will be that stupid day again, why must every year be the same? I hate the annoying girls who love shopping, or worse, those who making chocolates by hand to give it to their lovers and have not felt the edge of the sword of treason
Anyway, this day has brought me bad memories throughout my childhood and my teenage life. I dedicated to make chocolates for the idiot Shotaro, but last year was much worse: first the idiot # 2 (Beagle) forced me to made chocolate for him, then the idiot # 1 (Shotaro) came boldly to the set of Dark Moon with an extravagant bouquet and stole my first kiss! Tsuruga-san made me understood that it didn't really count as a kiss (a slight blush appears in her cheeks). Tsuruga-san kissed me too, but it was only on the cheek (sigh). But what are you thinking now, Kyoko? Do you want it to go elsewhere? (crushing the little demon that was emerging with her right hand) Of course not! Just because a simple kiss on the cheek, he made me forget what happened with Shotaro and affected my performance as Mio. I don´t know which of those three men scares me the most.
Suddenly a shiver ran through my body from head to toe. What is this feeling! Please tell me this is not what I'm thinking! And then I feel unmistakably cold breath creeping on my neck.
"Are you thinking of me ... Kyoko?" That's him! That's really him!
I turn away from him. "Damn Beagle! What are you doing here!"
"I came to remind you to make chocolates for me." He said smugly.
"Are you crazy? I'll never fall for your games, this time you won't have it your way because you have nothing to blackmail me!" I said with victorious tone.
"Are you sure about that? So~ this does not mean anything to you?" He showing a medal reeling back and forth in front of my face
*gasp*"How did you get that!" I feel my tears came and begin to sobbing. "Please give Princess Rosa back!" I yelled at him while crying.
He smiled. "I will return it tomorrow when you give me handmade chocolates loaded with all your feelings towards me, I'll send a message to tell you the time and place. I'll warn you that you go alone or else you will pay a high price. See you! My little Riding Hood." And then he walks away.
Damn Beagle! You are going to regret asking me for chocolate. Now my sinister aura come at full force.
+++LME+++
While Kyoko contemplating her plan, she hears a familiar voice.
"Good morning, Kyoko-chan~" Yashiro greeted cheerfully, but his smile vanished instantly because he and the man beside him can see Kyoko's face contorted with anger.
"It's not good to emanate a scary aura or your fans will be scared, Mogami-san" Ren said with a dazzling smile.
"Sorry, I see a cockroach, but I'll take care of it!" Kyoko lied right away and made some gesture of revenge. "Etto... Good morning, Yashiro-san, Tsuruga-san." She bowed to the older men.
"Kyoko-chan, are you going to make chocolates for Valentine's Day?" Asked Yashiro interested.
"Yes, I have thought about giving chocolates to the people with whom I am grateful, but this year I will be making them alone because Moko-san was filming a new drama out of town." She explained while making a sad puppy face.
"If you want, you can make them with Ren, just now he told me that he want to learn to make chocolate." Thinking this as a chance, Yashiro lied smoothly while making a serious face.
"Really, Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko asked, oblivious to Yashiro's plan.
Ren promised to himself that he will kill Yashiro for that later. But he put his smile and answered. "Yes, Mogami-san. Of course if it isn´t any trouble for you."
"Of course not." Kyoko said with big smile on her face.
"Do you think it's okay if we leave after work to buy the ingredients and prepare them in my apartment." Ren said to Kyoko, planning the cooking lesson preparation.
"Tsuruga San, you don't have to work tonight?" Asked Kyoko worried about her Senpai's schedule.
"No, today I'm free after 6 pm." Ren said while he looked to Yashiro, thinking that his manager had it all planned beforehand.
"Okay, etto... excuse me." Kyoko said goodbye with a little bow and then she went to her next job in Love Me Section.
A few moment after Ren sure that Kyoko have gone, he turn to his manager and asked even though he already knows the answer, "Yashiro, why did you say that I wanted to learn to make chocolates?"
With big grin on his face, Yashiro answered, "Because I wanted to give you a boost, put you in action! If you do not want a fan of Kyoko-chan below you to steal her away, plus school is almost over and the excuse that she is a high school girl won´t help you repress your feelings soon. Come on! Try hard once and for all, Ren!"
Ren felt like a child being preached by his father, but deep down he knew Yashiro was right. He must do something and would not miss the opportunity made by his manager.
The car was silent while Kyoko confused with her feeling. Why do I feel nervous? I'm just making chocolates with Tsuruga-san, it's not like a date or anything.
"Mogami-san, are you ready? " Ren asked while opening the door of his car.
"Yes."
"Mogami-san, I ordered some ingredients and they should be in my apartment. I hope you don't mind."
"Don't worry, but let me pay you the ingredients cost, it's only fair..." Kyoko said and started to dig for some money in her pocket but Ren cut her off.
"Of course not. I buy the ingredients and you teach me how to make chocolate. Ok, it´s fine, really." Ren smile assuring her with his speech.
At Ren's apartment, Kyoko was surprised by all the ingredients he had on top of the kitchen counter. Because he had everything: boxes of different chocolate -black, white, sweet, sour, peanut, coconut, raisins, caramel, nuggets of colors and molds for chocolates-.
Ren oblivious with her thought interrupted her trance and asked the question to her, "Is it not enough Mogami-san? I can buy whatever you need."
"No! This is more than enough." Kyoko said hurriedly. She can't imagine more ingredients to put in his kitchen. It's not like they want to make chocolate for hundreds of people. She cringed when she remembered she want to pay for the chocolate.
"Well, let's start." Ren said while he gave her a rose apron and he put himself a blue one.
Kyoko looks at Ren and thinking how cute he is with an apron on. She can't stop herself to gave a small laugh.
"What's so funny?" Asked Ren confused.
"Nothing, nothing." Kyoko answered and shaking her head from side to side. "Etto, first we must cut the chocolate into small pieces to make it easier to melt. Is it okay if we make chocolates with half white chocolate, half dark, and the center filled with milk?"
"It´s perfect, I'll take care of the black chocolate and you can do the white, ok?"
Kyoko nodded and Ren began to cut the chocolate coating. He was so quick and precise, you'd think he's an expert.
"Presto, now we put it in a pot on the fire, right?"
"Yes, but we melt it in double boiler... the chocolate should be on top of another pot filled with water to avoid burning. After that, we put the chocolate into molds and leave them in the refrigerator for two hours."
"Making a chocolate is simple. The bad thing is the after, you have to clean the mess you've made." Ren said while putting a pot under the tap and went to clean the pot, but she stopped him.
"Wait, Tsuruga-San. The best part of making chocolate is that you can eat all the chocolate left in the pot." Kyoko said as she tuck her index finger in one of the pots and tasted it. "It's delicious!" She spreads her finger with chocolate again. "Want to try, Tsuruga-san?" The actress asked smiling because she feel happy she can eat some delicious chocolate.
Ren leaned over and took Kyoko´s hand slowly into his mouth and licked it. "You're right, Mogami-san, it's delicious. I want more." Then he took a pot and started eating the chocolate."
Kyoko blushed hard. 'I was offering him chocolate but I thought I never said not to take it directly from my finger. I tried to forget the touch but I couldn't, the warmth I felt in my body... I couldn't stop looking at it. Why did Tsuruga-san behave that way? He's always so serious, but now he's acting like a child enjoying a new candy.' Kyoko though surprised.
Then Ren realized something missing. "Mogami-san, you aren´t wearing Princess Rosa."
"A... that's... I damaged the clasp, but I didn't throw it away, but tomorrow I´ll fix it." Kyoko lied while avoiding his gaze.
Ren felt that she was lying but thinking that it was not something to worry.
"Mogami-san, are you hungry? Want to order something for dinner?" Ren asked to change the topic.
"Not necessary." Kyoko answered immediately but not a second after that they can hear the sound of gnashing from her belly. Blushing appears on her cheeks because of embarrassment.
Ren chuckles at that but choose to let it be. "He he I´m hungry too, I´ll order a pizza, umm a special taste? And don´t answer: whatever you choose will be fine for me Tsuruga-san." Ren said and imitating her voice at the end.
Kyoko wondered how he knew she was going to answer that. A bit annoying when she realized maybe she's so predictable. "Hawaiian." Said Kyoko.
"Ok, Hawaiian." Ren agreed and taking the phone.
When Ren was calling for pizza, Kyoko went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Ren was on his way to the kitchen but the vibration of a cell phone burst into his path, apparently it was Kyoko's. He didn't want to pry her privacy but his curiosity got the better of him and he looked at the text message: ''Hi! my Little Riding Hood, hopefully you have done what I asked, I am so eager to eat your chocolate, of course not as much as I want to eat you. See you tomorrow at 10 pm in the park near the Darumaya. Do not worry, I'll take you back home because it's dangerous for a kitty to walk out so late at night. Att: Your Wolf.''
Ren used all his strength to restrain his rage but who dares to speak to her that way? She'd better explain.
With a smile Ren came into the kitchen and reached out her cell. "Mogami-san, your cell phone was vibrating."
"Thanks." Kyoko looked at the message, read it and asked the gods to help her calm down and not showing her hatred. She took a deep breath and smiled.
"Was something important?" Ren asked in a very serious tone.
"No, Okami-san is worrying because I'm out so late, I´ll call her" She dialed the number of Darumaya."
"Okami-san, good evening, thanks for the message but do not worry. About less than an hour I'll be coming home."
*Sound of bell*
"Must be the pizza." Ren said and walk out from the kitchen.
Meanwhile Okami-san said on the line, "Kyoko, are you okay? I didn't send you a message."
"I'm fine. I'll explain when I get back, good night." With that she hung up the phone.
"A Hawaiian pizza is ..." The delivery boy kept the word in the mouth because his customer looks menacing and scary.
"Keep the change, thanks." Ren had a murderous aura, worse than the Demon Lord. His voice was cold and sharp.
The poor delivery boy came out as if the devil took his soul, swearing he would never do an order in that apartment ever again,
On the way to the kitchen Ren wondered if Kyoko going to tell him the truth or if she does not trust him enough.
The dinner was in absolute silence. Kyoko felt that just the slightest word from Ren would kill her instantly.
Kyoko think that Ren has not seen the message, because he would have to asked who had sent it for surely. But she could feel that her senpai is mad at her? Maybe he has noticed that she lied.
"I'm taking you home. it is too late." Ren said getting up from his chair.
"These look well." Kyoko took the chocolates from the refrigerator. "How many do you want, Tsuruga-san?"
"None, I just wanted to learn to make them."
On the way home, neither dared to say a word.
"Tsuruga-san, good night." Kyoko said, bowed her head.
"Good night." Ren did not even wait for her enter her house. He drove away his car.
On the way to her house, Kyoko thought of every possibility about what she did to make him angry. She even stayed to help him with chocolate and then he treated me coldly. Her tears were threatening to fall, but she remembered of that message from hell and thinking that it was better to prepare the chocolate for that bastard, as he asked: with all her feelings on it.
She entered the Darumaya quietly, because apparently the owners were already asleep. She went to the kitchen and put the chocolates in the refrigerator while preparing the gift bags. She puts three chocolates in each bundle and decorated it with a distinctive bow.
She took the remaining chocolates and put them in a black bag, threw them on the floor and began to trample them saying "DAMN BEAGLE, THAT IS WHAT YOU DESERVE, YOU ARE LIKE A FILTHY COCKROACH!" All the while gave out macabre laughter.
She looked into the ingredients of the restaurant and found chili. She threw it in a little chocolate and a dash of soy sauce.
She had a card with the face of a dog on it, surrounded by fire, which said: Damn Beagle, may you consume in the flames of hell!
The next day
Kyoko was smiling at LME. Thinking that she will give chocolates to the President, Sawara-san, Bridge Rock presenters and Yashiro-san and... to Tsuruga-san
After giving chocolates to the president and the set, she went to Kimigure Rock because Sawara-san had called for a job.
"Mogami-kun good morning, after seeing how you've grown in acting, you'll participate in the new production of LME."
"Really?" Kyoko asked, feel very excited about the new project. "And that is it?"
"The drama is called Aishiteruze no Shitsuji, and the story is about a couple who could not be together because of different social classes. It is about a high class lady who always had everything, but she's not happy. She has a noble hearts, she's sincere and sweet, she's committed to a tyrant who is ten years older than her, lives with her younger sister, who is capricious and always get what she wants by lying to her father. And the male lead, he is a humble young worker. He was found in the street by the steward of this family, who raised him as his son and taught him everything to be the perfect butler. When his 'father' ill, he becomes the new steward of the Kuran family, where he falls for the eldest daughter Yuuki, but represses his feelings because he knows that it was love can never be."
Kyoko is already in the world of fantasies.
"Mogami-kun…" Sawara-san calls her name. "Mogami-kun…"
Kyoko wakes from her imagination. "Sorry Sawara-san and what will be my role?"
"You'll be Hikari, the female lead's younger sister, who interferes in the relationship because she is in love with Ryuo, the male lead."
"I'll be the antagonist." Kyoko said unenthusiastically, she feels discouraged.
"Yes, but this role will be unlike any you've played. You'll be in love and fight for this unrequited love. This will show your skills in this area, and your next role may be as the lead."
"And who will do as Yuuki and Ryou?"
"Yuuki will be played by an American actress, Alice Mclaren and Ryou by LME star-Ren Tsuruga. The president also wants Kotonami-kun to be part of the cast. Her role is Saki, Yuuki's best friend, she is an accomplice Ed of the couple, because she wants the best for her friend and knew that they love each other, and she always helps her to meet secretly with Ryou."
"I will accept it!" Kyoko said happily. She get to work with her friend and did not think twice. She gave chocolates to Sawara-san and he gave her the script.
At 7 pm, Kyoko sat on the stairs at LME waiting for Ren and Yashiro. She was about to leave when she heard a noise.
"Kyoko-chan, what are you doing here?" Yashiro asked.
"I was waiting for you." She pulls out a couple of gift bags out of her pocket. "Thanks for all you've helped me."
"Thank you very much, Kyoko-chan." Yashiro said happily and turned to look at his charge but he just sees an expressionless Ren.
"Bye, Mogami-san. Good Night." Ren said goodbye coldly and walked to his car.
"Kyoko-chan, bye." Yashiro had to run to catch up with Ren. After he stand beside the actor, he became furious.
"What was that, Ren? You were very rude, you even smiled your fake smile and that is very rare for you when you're around Kyoko-chan—" But he was cut off by Ren.
"Please do not ask me, Yashiro-san." Ren smiled broadly and that was enough for Yashiro to understand that it was better not to bother him. But he made a mental note to ask him when he was calmer.
In the Darumaya
Kyoko sat at her room thinking back what was happening today. Ren didn't give a chance for her to apologize. She sighed. The only good thing that happened to her today was this new role, but she had no time to read the whole thing. Kyoko feel exited. She wanted to play Hikari, and the story is very interesting, it will surely be a success.
Kyoko prepared physically and psychologically to face the beagle. 'Don´t worry Princess Rosa, I'll bring you back home.' Kyoko got a coat, picked up the concoction that was on the ground (the chocolates for the beagle) and left the Darumaya quietly. She didn't want to waking the owners.
The park was only two blocks away. From far away, she could see the silhouette and shouted.
"Beagle!" At the same time he turn to Kyoko, she throw him the chocolates with all her might. "There! Now give me back my medal!"
Reino took the chocolates and went closer to her and stand just a few inches from her. "Why the rush? First let me thank you properly." He leaned over to reduce the distance and stole a kiss, which didn't last long because Kyoko pushed him away and wiped her mouth with the sleeve of her coat.
"What do you think you're doing bastard? … Perhaps you want to advance your trip to hell, give me my medal!"
"Wait… First I want to taste your chocolate." He uncovered the bag and pulled out a small piece of what looked like anything but chocolate, tasted it, savored it.
"Delicious." He said.
Kyoko was shocked. He was able to eat them, because they looked horrible and the taste was disgusting! To say that it was delicious, that guy is definitely a demon.
"You're happy now! Now give it to me!" Kyoko demanded.
"But I want to put it on you." Reino said with a smile.
"No." Kyoko retort stubbornly.
"Then I can't give it back."
"Fine, but make it quick!"
Reino took the medal and stood behind her, Kyoko raised her hands to collect the medal, but he took the opportunity to hug her waist, and whisper in her ear. "I want that you be mine."
Reino was kissing and nibbling her ear lobe, Kyoko tried to pull but could not. She begin to crying because she feels helpless.
"Don't touch me!" She said between sobs.
"Do not resist, my kitty~"
Reino went down to her cheek and neck, ran a hand down to the clothing covering the skin of her shoulder and then tried to caress and kiss her.
"STOP!" Suddenly Reino is taken from the collar of his suit. "Bastard!" Then a fist is gobbled up in his face. Reino falls to the ground.
"Tsu – Tsuruga-san…" Kyoko said while her tears ran down her cheeks.
"So the lion does not want to share their prey." Reino said playfully while straightening himself.
"I warned you the last time to get away from this girl." Ren said, emitting a dark aura.
"And since when I have to keep your warnings?" Reino goes to Ren wanting to hit him, but no luck. Ren dodges this with minimum effort. Reino removed the medal from his hand and give it another shot.
"Perhaps you wish to disfigure the face?"
"That is very important to the artists, but I see that the title is too big for you. Obsessive maniac!"
"Damn, I will not allow Kyoko to stay with a guy who could not tell the truth." Reino said then drifted away and disappeared into the shadows.
Ren approaches Kyoko and said with a sweet tone. "I'll take you home." Ren hugs her and takes her to the car.
It did not even take two minutes to get to Darumaya, and for that long Kyoko could not stop her tears.
"Why were you there?" Kyoko spoke in a very soft voice, amid the sobs but Ren heard her clearly.
"I read the message before." Ren tells the truth with serious face.
Kyoko's face betrayed her scared and she gulped. "And why you didn't ask me?"
"I did, and you lied to me." Ren said with disappointed tone.
"So that was why you were so angry? I'm sorry Tsuruga-san... I'm not worthy to be your kohai…" Kyoko burst into tears again.
Ren said again. ".It hurts me, you don´t trust me."
"I trust you. I appreciate and respect you..." Kyoko lowers her head. "I didn't want to bother you and thought I could fix it by myself. I'm sorry I'm just causing trouble…" Kyoko hiccupping.
"Ren take her chin and makes her look at him. "You are not any trouble, do not say that again... look." He shows her the medal."
"Princess Rosa!" Kyoko said with her eyes full of light and happiness.
"Can I…? " Ren said not finishing his sentence and gesturing to the medal.
"Please." Kyoko pull up her hair.
"Ren puts the necklace on, but noticed a strong anger coming from Kyoko.
"Cursed-Beagle, with the excuse to give me back the medal you stole from me, you touched my skin with your dirty mouth of a dog. I hate you!" Kyoko said with blazing eyes and killer aura emanated from her.
"I will make you forget." Ren slowly lean down and locks lips with hers in a warm kiss. Kyoko froze. She can't move a single muscle. Ren tries to get into her mouth and she slowly permitted a deep kiss.
Ren did not want to leave her lips but he knew that the dog had kissed her in other areas he would have to trace, so he hugged her and slowly rose to her ear, flooding it with kisses, he heard a faint moan and this encouraged him to follow down enjoying the skin on her neck that was warm to his touch. He returned to her mouth and ended with a quick kiss.
"I regret having been so tough this afternoon, the chocolates were really delicious... Have a nice rest, Mogami-san." Ren said.
Brought back from her trance, Kyoko crept back like a scared little kitten. "Good night, Tsuruga-san. Thanks for everything…" She ended the conversation and moved swiftly to Darumaya.
Kyoko closed the door, leaned against it and fell to the floor. Her legs were shaking and she felt her heart was coming out through her throat and her face (even her whole body) was red as a tomato.
'Tsuruga-san kissed me…' Then a sad face appeared on her face. 'But it was for... a pity.'
