Kanae sighed. Even though certain things about her (secret) best friend Kyoko bugged her to the point of no return, she still missed her. The having to dodge her death-grip hugs; her "powers" or whatever it was that she did; and most of all her angelic smiles that melted Kotonami Kanae's heart. Kyoko had been away for almost 2 months filming her newest job, a movie in which she is an assassin that has to kill the prince of an enemy country (played by none other than Tsugura Ren) when they fall in love. Kanae slammed her LoveMe locker door shut. "Mo! Why am I the one left here all alone?!" She shouted.
A male voice spoke behind her, making Kanae whip around, glaring, and her eyes narrowed. "Well, maybe you wouldn't be if you hadn't turned down my offer." There stood her newest problem. One of her co-workers for one of the dramas she had just finished; he couldn't seem to get the hint that Kanae wasn't interested in any guy, let alone him. He looked like the average Japanese, except for his violet eyes. Kanae was tempted to yell at him, but remembered what had happened last time.
Flashback:
Kanae lost control as he tried to follow her into the LME building, practically whining about how he was going to have to spend his Friday night all alone. She screamed at him to leave her alone, and to stop following her as he had been for the past 2 weeks! He had only smiled kind of sheepishly, shrugged, and put his hands in his pockets. As he walked away he spoke over his shoulder. "Well, see you later, then, Kanae-chan."
His blatant refusal to realize she meant NO when she said NO made Kanae walk into the as she tried to go inside.
Kanae's eyes narrowed even more, if that was even possible, and decided to take a page out of Kyoko's book. She tried to put on her best imitation of Natsu as she walked by him. "I made the choice to be alone tonight, ne? I'll be leaving then." Relief thudded through her as Kanae thought she had gotten away before a hand grabbed her wrist painfully hard. He turned her around and shoved her against the wall, his breath ruffling the black hair that had fallen into her face. The man whispered fiercely, almost in desperation.
"You have no idea what you're giving up—that's why I'm going to show you. Either you come quietly or else." Kanae's eyes widened with fear and she was about to nod when another male voice spoke. "Get away from her, if you please sir." She looked to her left to see a more welcome member of the opposite gender. The actor holding her wrists dropped them to turn and sneer at Yashiro Yukihito, Ren's manager. He pushed his glasses up on his nose before walking to confront Kanae's attacker. "Who are you? Why should I leave?"
Yashiro stared the man down, and finally he seemed to have second thoughts about what he was doing. He shrugged as if it was no big deal and walked off leisurely, whistling softly. Kanae would have sighed again, but directed the release of her emotions at her rescuer.
"What are you doing here, Glasses-kun?! I thought you were with Tsugura-san and Kyoko-chan at the set!" Yashiro turned his intense gaze on her, making Kanae heat up rapidly. He sighed and gave her a soft smile. "Well, Mogami-san sent me to get you: she and Ren want us all have to have dinner together, and they went on ahead to make the arrangement." Kanae's eyes narrowed again (they do that a lot) and finally she agreed, stalking ahead of the tired manager.
