Chapter 1

A Small Token

"Kyoko-chan! You have a delivery." The receptionist called out to her waving from the front desk as Kyoko walked through the door.

"I do? What is it?" Kyoko asked as she approached the wide mahogany desk in the foyer.

"This.." The receptionist pulled out a Blue gift bag with white tissue paper speckled with silver glitter spilling out and handed it to her.

Kyoko took the bag and made her way to the LoveMe room so that she could unpack her interesting package and take a look at the spoils. Maybe it's my White Day gift from Tsuruga-san. She thought a little excitedly, but pushed that back. White Day is as bad as Vain Day. She nodded in approval at the thought.

She quickly sat her things down and proceeded to unpack her new little gift. Beneath all of the tissue was a 30 cm, black leather, rectangular, flat box, with hinges on the edge. In the box, on a bed of black velvet lay a silver bracelet with four small, blueish-purple stones like Corn and centered between those stones, a gold, fairy charm. It took her breath away. Not necessarily an expensive gift, but beautiful nonetheless. There was a card in the box with the bracelet that read: To the most beautiful and talented actress I know. It had no signature.

"Kyoko-chan, are you ready? Oh! What's that?" Yashiro saw the dazzling little bauble.

"Um, I'm not sure. It's most certainly a bracelet, but I honestly don't know who it's from." she held it up to the light and watched the little blue stones turn to an amber color. She gasped, they were exactly like Corn. That was all she needed to see to be captivated by the gift.

"Wow, that's pretty." Yashiro didn't want to say anything to her about Ren. What if he wasn't the one who sent it? I'll have to call him later.

"Yashiro-san, will you help me put it on?" She asked with a fairy-tale sparkle in her eyes.

Yashiro smiled and nodded.

"It's so pretty." as she jingled the little dangling fairy hanging from her wrist.

"Well, are you ready to go to the cast meeting?" Yashiro asked enthusiastically.

"Hai!" She gathered her things and left with her temporary manager.

"So did you give it to her?" His friend asked him.

"Yes, I left it at the front desk with the receptionist for her." The young man answered.

"You didn't sign your name did you." His friend commented dryly.

"No, why?" He cluelessly answered.

"Kami! How on Earth is she supposed to know it's from you!?" His friend exclaimed in frustration.

"Ah, I guess I should have signed the card." The young man mused.

His friend smacked himself on the forehead. "You are as much of a Love Idiot as she is!" He ended the conversation before he said anything else.

The young man sat on the weight bench with his head resting on his hands in defeat and sighed loudly. I still can't get used to this..

"Ne, Kyoko-chan you have your very first photo shoot today. Are you excited?" He was finally able to talk her into taking some of those offers for modeling that she received from being Natsu.

"I am a little nervous. I'm not sure I'm model material." she couldn't believe they actually offered. What was she going to do without the magic of Princess Rosa? Well, it did work for the Dark Moon Party, maybe it would be okay. I hope it will be okay. I don't want them to think I'm a fraud. She was making those interesting faces again.

Yashiro let out a chuckle. "Kyoko-chan, you'll do fine. Stop worrying." This girl, when is she going to see that she's more than what she thinks she is?

"Thank you Yashiro-san... What's the company sell again?" She was in such a hurry, she had forgotten to bring the envelope with her that explained it in detail.

"There's a copy of what was in your envelope in the glove box." He flipped it open and she grabbed the new envelope.

"Ah, I get to wear Big Sister clothes! I wonder if they have anything princess themed.. maybe a nice dress with big poofy sleeves and a really long skirt." There she goes into fairy-tale mode.

Long skirts, silk blouses in a wide array of muted tones, summer and winter dresses, shoes as far as the eye could see and the cutest jackets that she would have willingly taken a life for. (not really but, maybe.) Not just that.. Hair and makeup was waiting just for her. That alone gave her the giddy feeling she always got when she settled into the makeup chair to have someone do it for her with the high quality makeup she had grown to love, but not afford. Maybe I'll finally be able to pay off my bills and start buying the things I really like. Her little fairy jingled on her wrist again.

"Kyoko-chan, I'll be out here on the bench. I have a few papers to look over for you and Ren." He pointed to the white, plush sofa along the wall just outside the dressing room. He closed the door behind him and pulled out a glove so he could handle his phone. "Now, let's find out."

The phone rang once, twice, three times and finally picked up.

"Hello Yashiro-san, what did you need?" Ren's deep voice rumbled over the line.

"Ren..Kyoko-chan got the bracelet you sent to her for White Day." Yashiro told him in a teasing voice.

"Yashiro-san, I didn't get Mogami-san anything for White Day. What are you talking about?" Yashiro held out his phone in disbelief and stared at it for a moment.

"Yashiro-san... You still there?" Ren asked thinking Yashiro had damaged another phone.

"Ah.. Yes." If Ren didn't send it then who did?

"Are you saying she got a bracelet for White Day? Do you know who sent it?" Trying to sound unconcerned.

"Ah.. Never mind. I was just curious." Why get him riled up if there was nothing he was going to do about it? "I just thought you got her something."

"Was that all?" Ren was starting to get irritated. He had a bad day on the set and he was trying to relax when he was bombarded with this.

"Yeah. Talk to you later." Yashiro hung up even more mystified. Maybe he could get more information later from Kyoko-chan. If they put their heads together maybe they could figure this out.

"So, what did you think of your first shoot?" He asked as they walked to the car.

"It was amazing. I had so much fun!" She was practically glowing.

"Have you figured out who sent you the bracelet?" Yashiro gently prodded.

"No.." She gave a cute little frown as he shut her door and entered the driver's side.

"Hmm, could it be Fuwa-san?" He really didn't want to step on that landmine, but it was a possibility.

"No. He's too flashy and selfish to send me something like this without letting everyone know." She glowered, but less that usual.

"Hmm, yeah. I see your point." His mind instantly flashed back to the flowers and chocolate on Valentine's Day. "What about that singer from Vie Ghoul?" He had hoped it wasn't, not after Karuizawa.

She pursed her lips in disgust, "I don't think the Beagle sent it. It didn't feel cursed or, anything."

Yashiro shook his head. This girl.

She held her wrist to the sunlight beaming through the windows and watched the gems change colors, then gasped. "I know who sent it!"

"Who!?" At last, mystery solved.

"The Fairy Prince Corn!" She exclaimed excitedly.

Then again, maybe not...

She then proceeded to tell the tale of her experience in Guam when she met Corn and how he was her true first kiss. She did leave out the part about how he looked like Tsuruga-san, out of embarrassment for thinking about him. That would be their little secret. Suspicious. This needs looking into.
