Hello my sweeties,

And hell I like Ren in the old English style suit :D

so without reading Japanese I'm guessing
a romantic movie plot for chapter 201
Ren and Kyoko playing the leads

Ren looked at the almost empty bottle before him as he waved the bartender over and ordered a second bottle to be brought.
"What the hell did I think I was doing?" he asked himself as he poured another glass knocking it back
"Room for one more?" a quiet voice asked him.
Ren looked over as the small, shapely blond hopped up onto the stool next to him. Flipping her long, blond hair over her shoulder she smiled, as the bartender returned with Ren's bottle of scotch.
"Can I get you something madam?" he asked politely bowing as she smiled.
"Just a glass please. I'm sure this nice young man here is willing to share."
Thinking better of speaking, he just nodded as the bartender handed her a glass with ice and left them to talk in private.
"Bad day?" Ren asked as he indicated the fresh bottle which she picked up. Surprising him, she filled the glass entirely before necking the large drink, only speaking as she once again began to fill the glass.
"You have no idea." she answered glumly as she again necked the large glass of scotch, Ren was seriously impressed. This wasn't a cheap bottle. Even he would struggle to drink the proportions she was knocking back. He dreaded his next words, but he knew he had to ask them anyway,
"Want to tell me about it?" he asked. As the golden eyes met his for the first time. He could see the tears.

24 Hours later
"OK I need you to start again, slowly this time. You're trying to tell me that two of our biggest stars have gone AWOL and none of you have any idea where they may be?" Lory's voice was calm but his eyes were anything but calm. The two men and one woman before him moved uncomfortably as Lory gazed at them all.
"Well you see it was like this," Yashiro started.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"Kyoko-chan?" she turned to the familiar face smiling at her softly.
"Are you OK?" she asked instantly as Kyoko nodded to her, but it was too much. The tears fell from her eyes as the small figure wrapped her strong arms around her.
"Hush sweetheart,what's wrong? You tell old Jelly all about it."
"Kyoko-chan?" another anxious voice sounded as the crew around them stopped to watch the distraught young actress being hugged by the small make-up artist. Yashiro stood there looking terrified by the young woman's breakdown.
"Is Ren's room empty Yashiro-san? I think dear Kyoko needs somewhere to relax for a bit." Jelly looked at the taller man who nodded.
"Of course Jelly-san. His rooms are always open for you and Kyoko-chan" placing his arm supportively behind the actress as Jelly took the other side they guided the distraught actress to Ren's private dressing room.
"I came to see if Tsuruga-san was here?" Kyoko managed to say between sobs as the two older members looked at each other with knowing eyes, Yashiro opened the door for Kyoko and Jelly while he replied,
"I'm sorry Kyoko-chan, but Ren finished for the day about 30 minutes ago. He and Kijima decided to go and grab a drink together since they were both finished for the day" Kyoko looked more distressed by his words as Jelly sat her down on the sofa sitting down next to her.
"But if you need him I'm sure we could try and call him?" Yashiro offered as Jelly looked at him with a slightly worried expression.
"No. No, I couldn't possibly call him away from his friend/" Kyoko answered as both Jelly and Yashiro thought Ren would probably rather be with Kyoko than Kijima any day, but then both remembered the disastrous show he had taken part in earlier that day.
Is that the reason she's so upset? Does she not like what Ren said about her? Or is it the fact that he blatantly revealed her entire history with that dratted man? Yashiro wondered as he watched Jelly seize the situation.
"Sweetheart, what's got you so upset? Is it something to do with Ren?" she asked softly approaching the subject of Ren's interview with a calm manner so she could gauge the young girls reaction, but she was pleasantly surprised when Kyoko shook her head.
"No it's not Tsuruga-san, but I thought maybe he would be able to talk to me about it." Yashiro sighed inwardly as he looked at the young woman. Slightly glad he wasn't going to have to talk about that dratted talk show as he sat down opposite Kyoko and Jelly, he spoke slowly and calmly just as he hoped Ren would have.
"Do you want to talk to us about it Kyoko-chan? We are not Ren, but we are your friends."
His words brought a fresh wave of tears as she regaled her story to them. About her uncaring, unloving mother, her abandonment with the Fuwa's and now, when she had been offered a wonderful début in a role she had fallen in love with instantly. She was finally going to be living a dream, she was going to be a princess! And her mom had gone and spoilt her joy of the moment in one fell swoop.
She explained how Lory had sent a private investigator to search for her mother, how they had found her remarried and living happily with her new husband. The disgust at the mention of her daughter and her outright refusal upon meeting with Lory to sign any paperwork for the mistake she had made in her younger years. Lory finally, at his wits end, had offered the idea of emancipation and she had jumped at the chance and signed the forms immediately, saying it would be a day too soon if she ever saw that useless waste of space of a daughter again before exiting from her life forever.

"Well sir of course we listened to her and tried to cheer her up, but she was beyond upset and I doubt we were really getting anywhere. I did try to call Ren, but I guess either he didn't have his phone on him or he couldn't hear it as I never got through" Yashiro added on the end of his narrative as Lory sighed putting his head in his hands
"So what happened next?" he asked as he started to try and get a clear picture in his head
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"I have an idea Kyoko-chan, why don't you go meet Ren at the bar? It would be a good way for you to unwind. I'm sure that by now, Kijima has already left him for the female lead of the moment, so he would probably like some company." Yashiro knew his words were probably right and that maybe if Ren took the initiative he would speak to Kyoko about the talk show before she saw it from another source entirely.
"Yashiro-san, you seem to forget I'm under-age to drink and I doubt I would even be able to get through the doors" she sounded completely disheartened and Jelly hugged her shoulders tightly.
"Now don't you say that Kyoko! You seem to forget I'm the witch. If I couldn't make you look mature and sophisticated who could?Now dry those eyes and let old Jelly work her magic on you, it will make you feel better and then we will drop you off to go see Ren, what do you say? You never know one drink might make you feel better?"
It took another few minutes pf persuasion, but in the end she bent to Jelly's wishes. Using LME's costume range they had found a fitting white, flowing sundress to go with the long, flowing golden wig Jelly had chosen from her special collection. After make-up she was ready. Jelly drove her to the private bar and watched Kyoko as she bowed through the door while Yashiro gave Jelly the thumbs up that Ren was still there before she had dropped Yashiro off home.

"So you dropped Mogami-san at the bar and Ren was there too?" Jelly and Yashiro nodded.
"Yes sir, I checked. I watched her walk over and sit next to him at the bar so I guessed she would be OK. We all know she is more calm around Ren than anyone."
It wasn't a question, it was a fact and Lory knew it. Even if that silly girl hadn't realised it yet, it was plain to everyone else that those two were close and everyone but Kyoko never failed to notice how Ren looked at her. He sighed deeply as he turned to the last defendant.
"And then?" Kijima swallowed hard.
"Well you see,"
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Kijima approached the bar. He had only just remembered he had even brought Ren along with him but with that god awful depressed state he had been in who could blame him? He doubted the young actor would even still be there since he didn't seem the type to drink alone. But looking up at the bar, Kijima stood stock still. Ren wasn't alone. He was sitting, laughing and talking with a very hot shapely blond. Kijima took a deep breath. Ren wasn't the playing type, but maybe this little hottie would like a real man to play with.
As Kijima sat down next to Ren he noted the 2 empty bottles of scotch on the bar before the talking pair.
"How much have you had?" he asked Ren in a joking tone, but he got no response as the pair before him had eyes for no one, but each other. He tried a few more times, but each time he got no response at all, though he did note both parties seemed well past drunk by this point.
"So can you imagine that little shit just blurted it out in front of everyone? I was ready to tear him limb from limb I really was." Ren was saying as the hot Blond leant on the bar with her elbows, head bent over her empty glass.
"I would have, stupid bastard, how dare he speak about you in that way! He has no idea what he's talking about, the twat!"
Her words are slightly slurred, but she has a smooth and sexy voice. Kijima thought as he snuck another look at the girl.
"Well you just have to ignore him senpai he's a prick! Its not like anyone wants me anyway! Even my own mother thinks I'm a useless waste of space. No one would have me." Kijima watched as Ren sat up a little straighter.
"I would have you." he said a little disgruntled.
"Don't be silly, no you wouldn't!" she scoffed as she giggled prettily.
"Oh, and what makes you so sure of that?" Ren asked looking at her with a soft smile on his face.
God, this is not the Ren I'm used to. Kijima decided as he watched the pair flirt outrageously.
Ren was normally so calm and collected. Kijima looked again at the two empty scotch bottles
They can't have drank both of them surely?
But his attention was snapped right back to their conversation as Ren suddenly stood.
"OK I will prove it to you, lets go." Ren grabbed the girls arm as she slipped off the chair giggling the whole time as they exited the bar together, leaving behind a highly confused Kijima.
What the hell was that?
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
"So you're telling me they left the bar together and that was the last you saw of them?" Lory looked at Kijima.
How had he not realised it was Kyoko with Ren? Really this guy just thinks pretty woman...bed. No tact at all. Lory thought as Kijima nodded.
He sighed again as he looked back up at the 3 people around his desk,
"So, do we have any more ideas about where that pair is now?"
They all shook their heads looking sheepish, Lory knew it was no ones fault. He just wished he had something to tell the worried Darumaya couple. When the Okami-san had called him that morning to say Kyoko's clothes and travel bag had gone, she hadn't told them of any on-scene shoots so she was worried. Lory had assured them they would get to the bottom of the mystery and he would keep in touch, but what was he meant to tell that kind woman now?
The door opened and Lory's aid entered, walking swiftly.
"President, we have found some information regarding the location of Tsuruga-san and Miss Mogami-san." Lory jumped to his feet as the 3 waiting defendants spun to look at the aid.
"WELL?" Lory demanded as he looked at the man standing there in a male air steward uniform. Lory was cosplaying as a pilot today.
"We tracked his last known card movements in Japan and it was at the Tokyo Haneda Airport." The 4 faces around him registered the shock he himself had felt reading the report.
"Where?" Lory asked quietly as his aid lowered his head to the report before him.
"Las Vegas."
