How Sho Found Out About Natsu

Fuwa Sho was bored. Bored and pissed. Bored because Shoko took his cellphone from him. She said something about wanting him to focus on his upcoming interview and performance. Pissed because this rinky dink TV show obviously didn't know who he was and had him waiting in a public green room. Sho hated waiting in the public green room. He should have his own private green room, not this public nonsense. Don't these people know who he is?

"Did you watch it last night?" The male voice drifted through the large open waiting room where Sho was sitting in waiting for his appearance. "She's hot right?" the voice continued.

"Yeah," a new male voice cut in, "She is really hot. I didn't expect it." Sho's ire at his accommodations was replaced with curiosity that perked at the mention of a "hot" girl.

"Who would have thought she could move like that, she's so sexy" the second voice continued, "Especially after seeing her in Dark Moon." Trepidation pooled in Sho's stomach at the mention of Dark Moon. "They can't be talking about Kyoko," he thought, "Who would ever call that girl hot or sexy?" He tried to imagine it, but the image came out distorted like someone had run turpentine across a painting.

"Did you see her at the Dark Moon after party. She was stunning." The first voice continued. Sho ground his teeth. "There were lots of stunnign girls at the Dark Moon after party." The Idol consoled himself. "They are probably talking about that lead actress...what's her name again?" Yet the feeling of dread was spreading in his stomach.

As if they were enticing him or throwing him a bone, Sho couldn't decide which, the second voice asked. "What else has she been in?" There was a pause while the first guy thought it over, Sho's nerves strained as he continued to listen in.

"Only other thing I know of is she was one of the angels in Fuwa Sho's Prisoner PV."

Sho froze, his fears realized. They were talking about Kyoko. His Kyoko. Yet no matter how they put it, the Kyoko he knew could NEVER be sexy. He couldn't picture it. Elegant? Yes. Graceful. Yes. Beautiful? Yes. But sexy? He didn't believe that could be possible.

It was this frustration, his inability to reconcile the idea of Kyoko and Sexy, that spurred his legs to move toward the two gossiping men. "Yo," he greeted trying to appear cool. "You got my curiosity piqued. You are talking about Kyoko from my PV?" The two men's jaws dropped at the appearance of the idol and nodded mutely their confirmation. Sho laughs loudly, "You all need to get your eyes checked if you are calling THAT girl sexy. I mean seriously."

"No, no, haven't you seen her in Box R? She's really sexy on that show, she does this walk and sways her hips and it's like. Wow." One of the two guys attempted to explain, trying to convince him, the other guy just nods beside him like an idiot.

Sho shook his head and gave them a challenging smirk, "Prove it."

One of the men pulled out his phone and tapped a few buttons to pull up a video and then handed it over to Fuwa. Sho had to work very hard at controlling his emotions. He couldn't let these guys see the shock, disbelief, and anger brewing in his body. There was no doubt that the girl on the screen was Kyoko, but he still couldn't quite believe it. She was still graceful but she looked something like a runway model. The sway of her hips and the smirk on her face as she pinned some girl against a wall was, Sho had to admit, sexy. Then he noticed the leers and blatant looks of interest on the faces the guys who showed him the video and his anger returned. "That soul-sucking, shapeshifting demon!" He grumbled aloud, involuntarily. The man who handed him the cellphone laughed, and asserted "I'll tell you what she could…" His voice trailed off. Not at the glare, he was receiving from the blond idol, but from the feeling of murderous intent coming from outside the room.

"Who do you suppose they were talking about?" Yashiro asked the still silently fuming Ren. Ren snorted.

"Does it matter? No gentleman should ever talk about a lady that way." Ren smiled his gentlemanly smile at the now cowering Yashiro, "Now, come on, I have to get to my next job."
