Behind the Scenes…

An Irrefutable Offer…(Chap.1.)

In front of the Kurata's residence, large clusters of reporters have gathered around to report on Mariko Kurata's recent book Love Is War.

"As you must of already heard, Mariko Kurata's new book Love Is War has just been nominated as "Best book of the Year". Its sales have been off the charts ever since it was released this September, and is the uproar amongst all teens here in Tokyo!" A reporter shouted trying not to lose his voice to the deafening crowd of reporters.

"Wow mom, it really is crazy out there. I can't believe that your book was nominated as 'Best book of the year'."Sana told her mom as she watched the reporters on the television reporting on her mother's book.

"Sana, why do you bother watching the news of your mother's book, when you can just watch them from our living room window?" Rei asked her as he gazed out their living room window only to find clusters of wild reporters vigorously shaking their main gate just to get in their driveway. "Ma'am I think we might need a new gate, I think our front gate might just give in any time soon with them slamming it like that."

"Let them be, I don't mind if they take pictures of us."Mariko responded.

"But ma'am, they could destroy our house! I mean, your house if they all come charging in here."Rei replied full of panic.

"Oh well, we could always buy a new one. Besides, I want to show of my new hairstyle."she informed him. (In her hair was a hat pasted with candy such as mints, chocolates, M&Ms, etc.) "So that's what she's worried about."Rei thought to himself.

"Oh yes, Sana—you haven't accepted any offers lately."Rei randomly brought up.

"I know, I'm just tired that's all."Sana replied drowsily. "hmm..What should I eat?"Mariko thought to herself as she rummaged through their refrigerator.

"But it's been months! If you don't accept any offers soon, they'll soon stop offering!"Rei yelled hysterically.

"It's only been one month, anf ok, ok.. Just find me a good offer and I'll accept it."Sana told him gloomily.

"Do you really mean that?"Rei asked apprehensively. "Ah ha! I know where I'll find some food!" Mariko finally deciphered. She then pulled out a piece of chocolate from her hat. "Mmmm, yummy…"

"Here Rei, you can watch TV."Sana notified him as she threw the remote at him.

"Oww! That hurt!" Rei bawled. Sana then headed up the stairs. When she had finally arrived to her bedroom she immediately plopped on her bed, fatigued-- she had just taken her junior high exams the previous month, which had now left her tired, and in no mood to begin acting.

"Hmm, Love Is War eh? So it's a hit huh? I guess I can make it an even better hit if I put it on the big screen."Satsuikato well-known movie director informed one of his butlers as he watched the news that showed reporters violently pushing the front gate of Sana's home. "Mariko's daughter is that famous actress on television right?"Satsuikato asked one of his butlers as he exhaled some smoke from his cigar.

"Why, yes sir—she was the one who acted with Naozumi for some movie with her portraying a ghost."the butler replied as he placed down a plate of roast beef and rice on the table in front of Satsuikato.

"Get Kajime, I want to have a little talk with him on my new movie inspiration."Satsuikato told him.

"Yes sir." Soon after, a lean man with short black hair, and dark brown eyes entered the room.

"Are you familiar with the book, Love Is War?"Satsuikato asked him immediately.

"Yes! It's a great book! It's actually a romance novel really! I recently finished it last night."Kajime replied animated.

"So you read romance huh?"

"Well, I mean, you know—I read it for research, since you always tell me to keep updated when it comes to the media, and Love Is War is a pretty prominent book."Kajime replied, now with a serious expression.

"Well then, I guess it's decided—Love Is War is going to be the title of my new movie." Satsuikato informed him with a grin.

"Really?!!"Kajime asked electrified. "You should ask the author's daughter Sana to play the character Yumi in the book—she's a great actress! I heard her manager's searching for a good offer for her, I'm sure this movie will be irrefutable!"
