Sho smirks as he goes to push open the door to the meeting room thinking about the power he holds over her.
But just as he is about to open the door he pauses at the sound of a delicate laugh that he knows belongs to his Kyoko. The musician's blood begins to boil as he wonder's who exactly could elicit such a beautiful laugh from her, a laugh that is supposed to be HIS laugh. Kyoko would only ever laugh like that for him, NO ONE else. This brings on a sense of foreboding as Sho begins to worry about who it is in the room that is able to draw that sound from her body.
Pulling himself together again and pasting another smirk onto his face, Sho Fuwa slams open the door and in a smug voice pronounces "I'm here… We can start now"
His entrance into the room however seems to go un-noticed by the tall, dark actor who seems to be having an enthusiastic conversation with his Kyoko-Chan. It doesn't take the singer long to recognise the identity of the other male that is seemingly monopolizing all of the girls attention.
Ignoring the looks of the director, his manager and the other man that Sho vaguely recognizes as being his nemeses' manager, Sho stalks to where the two are sitting and arrogantly places his hand on the table between them blocking their view of each other and obnoxiously cups his hand under Kyoko's chin to bring her face up to look at him.
"Yo… so are you prepared to do a little something in my honour when I show you just how great I am at acting… .ko"
He murmurs seductively bring his lips close to her ear as he drags out the syllables in her name.
He feels her body stiffen up beneath him and can't help but smirk at the strong reaction he can pull from her body. He realises she is murmuring something under her breathe but he decides to ignore it for the moment as he begins to run his fingers along her hairline, fixing any stray strands that were out of place, knowing this kind of intimacy usually sends her into a frenzy.
However his fun is interrupted when he feels a large hand on his shoulder that forces him to turn around and face his nemeses. The one and only Tsuruga Ren.
"I believe she asked you to not her touch her"
The actor's expression had become very dark and the musician felt a tiny bit of worry bubble in the pit of his stomach but kept up a cool and confident façade as he smirked and knocked the actors hand away from his shoulder before taking the seat on the other side of Kyoko.
"If she really didn't want me to touch her she could have spoken up a bit more – I think secretly she enjoys when my body contacts with hers"
Giving a growl the actor abruptly sat back down taking Kyoko's hand in his. Seeing this action Sho quickly snatches her other hand and all three turn their faces to the director who now gives a reluctant cough… worrying now about his choice in actors, wishing that he had known about the circumstances between the three celebrities at an earlier stage.
Kyoko had been so surprised when her beloved senpai had walked into the room with Yashiro-san. What business could he possibly have here?
'Oh no! He couldn't possibly know that I agreed to do another one of Sho's P.V.'s and has come to torture meeee! I can just see it now he will smile that evil gentleman smile and descend upon me to school me in how much of a disappointment of a kohai I am! NOOOOO! How can I tell him I was tricked in to it? How embarrassing!'
Her thoughts however were abruptly ceased when she saw the warm smile that was sitting on Tsuruga-sans face, the one that burned her grudges with the light.
"Ts-Ts-Tsuruga-san… what are you doing here?" she asked nervously.
The smile widened more as the actor in question sat down next to the Kohai that he wishes would notice his feelings towards her.
"I was asked to play a part in Fuwa Sho's newest P.V. and I decided I would accept seeing as this is an area of acting I have yet to experience myself… also when I heard that Mogami-san was also going to be apart of this project I figured you might want back up in case anything happened"
Hearing these words, the developing actress couldn't help but warm slightly at the concern her Senpai showed towards her. Ren could also see relief relax her shoulders and couldn't help but be concerned by just how scared Kyoko seemed to get of him – how bad of an impression did he create on her in the beginning?
"Ah… Thank-you Tsuruga-san..."
"Please Kyoko, how many times must I tell you to call me Ren…"
The Manager couldn't help but smile slightly and shake his head as the girl blushed profusely at her Senpai's request.
"I couldn't… You are my Senpai and it would be disrespectful for me…"
Ren cuts her off with a sigh.
"Seriously Mogami-san I would imagine after the many things we have been through we would be at a slightly more intimate level of communicating – I am pretty sure that we have progressed far beyond the normal Senpai/ Kohai status… I would like to think we were friends by now"
Embarrassed, Kyoko quickly offers her apologies. At this moment the director enters the room and introduces himself as Ashima Yuki and how please he is to have the both of him working on the project.
Ashima then progresses to settle down on to the table and sort through some paperwork for the meeting that was meant to start in 5 minutes time.
Yashiro takes this moment to finally speak up and introduces himself to the other woman in the room who they had failed to notice previously.
"Hi, I don't believe we have met before, I'm Yashiro Yukihito, Ren's Manager"
"Shoko Aki… I'm Fuwa Sho's manager"
"Ah… nice to meet you. May I ask – where is Sho? I noticed he hasn't seemed to have arrived yet?"
Shoko sighs in resignation.
"He's probably planning on making one of his 'fashionably late' entrances… no matter how many times I tell him that it's not professional he just ignores me and does it anyway – all I can do is be here and apologise for his late arrival"
Yashiro sympathises with the woman and thanks his lucky stars that his charge has such punctual morals.
In the mean time Ren and Kyoko seem to have struck up quite the conversation about eating meals as Kyoko has managed to weasel out of Ren that all he had for breakfast was a cup of coffee – this of course definitely not up to Kyoko's standard of healthy eating. Knowing full well that no excuse will satisfy Kyoko, Ren turns to his Cain character and pulls his pouting puppy dog look.
"But nothing tastes any good anymore, now that I've had good home cooking"
Kyoko can't help but laugh at Ren's attempt to get out of his predicament.
"What – so are you saying it's my fault now that you're not eating?"
A Sly look comes over the actors face as he promptly says yes, making Kyoko go on a rant about how she has already taught him some cooking basics so there really should be no excuse. This is how they managed to miss Sho's entrance into the room, and failed to notice his stilted stalk in their direction until his hand slammed down on the table in-between the two of them.
Kyoko's anger at the interruption was quickly frozen by the hand the cupped her chin forcing her eyes to meet with the ones that had torn her part to pieces not even a year ago.
"Yo… so are you prepared to do a little something in my honour when I show you just how great I am at acting… .ko"
Kyoko's breath hitches as Sho lowers his lips to her ear, her entire body stiffens from the unwanted body contact and she pushes to at least get her lips to form the words "Get off me"
Ren seeing Kyoko's reaction can't help but get angrier and angrier especially as he watches Sho's fingers caress along Kyoko's face, fixing the stray hairs – something that Ren had been itching to do himself not minutes beforehand. It burned him how arrogantly close Sho could get to Kyoko – even though Ren knew how much she despised the musician it still made his blood boil that he couldn't gather up the courage that the singer blatantly showed.
Standing abruptly the Actor places a hand on the singers shoulder and roughly forces him to turn to face himself.
"I believe she asked you to not her touch her"
Kyoko's body began to function a little, enough in time to see Sho batting Ren's hand away and arrogantly stating that she actually enjoyed having him touch her… an idea that made Kyoko feel sick to her core with hatred.
Ren grabbed her hand and Kyoko couldn't help but glance at him with surprise. What surprised her more was how right it felt to have her hand in his and how much she wanted to lean into his embrace and have him to tell her everything would be alright.
Her daydreams were immediately dissipated, however when she felt her other hand grabbed from the other side, making her blood turn cold – However she didn't have enough time to react to this second invasion of her space, as no sooner had he grabbed it did Ashima clear his throat indicating that they really should start the meeting.
The two managers couldn't help but stand to the side shocked by the display in front of them. Shoko was ashamed at her charges actions and the way he treated Kyoko like she was a toy – she knew it was going to bite him on the ass some day – and from the vibes that Tsuruga Ren was giving off – she wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who did the biting.
Yashiro couldn't help but resign himself to the knowledge that his feelings that something bad was going to come from Ren accepting this job offer were right on the mark – and could only hope that this was the worst it would get… However he really doubted it…
Wow - I don't think I have ever updated a story quite so quickly before =) lol...
it looks like this story is really flowing well with me at the moment...
It was nice to have such a positive response so quickly after publishing the story - I think that helped alot.
I'm sorry for anyone who expected a bigger reaction from Sho - but he just refused to act up in fron of Ren at this moment in time - I reckon he will probably chuck a hissy fit later on in his changing room... lol
Uhm - next chapter will talk about what the story for the PV will be and then well I don't know where it will go from there just yet - depends on how the characters are feeling...
Hope you continue to enjoy the story
=)
