Okay... I'm sorry! I haven't uploaded in a while, but i have a good excuse!

1. Writer's block... the most vexing state of mind ever conceived.

2. It had actually been a while since i had see the anime and i couldn't remember how the first couple of episodes went, so i had to re-watch it, and then i couldn't just watch ONE episode, but all of them!

Oh, and this is really related to my excuses but... THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WATCHES AND REVIEWS! I AM SORRY I NEVER REPLY BUT I AM LAZY! I really do appreciate it though! 3 ;)

Ren touched the mirror, awed by the face staring back at him. He had the same eyes, albeit a different color, the same nose, the same lips… yet the person he had become was much different from the Ren he had been…

Ren. It had been a stage name he had selected when Aki had said that his name, Kuon, was boring almost worse than her old name… Ren considered changing his name again but decided against it… Ren just seemed right.

Ren nodded at his friend, who was grinning wildly at his creation.

"Remember, the black hair dye wears off completely after three weeks, so it is best to reapply every two weeks, to make sure no blonde spots appear. The contacts are weekly, so you only have to take them out every week… You sure you are ready to be part of show biz?"

Ren grinned at his concerned friends speech. He would be fine.

…

Ren stood in front of Akatoki Agency L.M.E., Aki's rival company. He was hoping he would spot someone important, and be able to flag him or her down. Although, he couldn't help but pray he wouldn't run into Mogami Kyoko… despite the fact that since he was no longer in a position where he would have to comfort Aki when she found out that Kyoko was voted sexier than she was, or Kyoko was nominated as most famous person in Japan, Ren still harbored some odd feelings of dislike towards her. He had told Aki too many times that Kyoko was to skinny, her hair looked oily instead of shiny, it was ashy instead of black, her eyes were pee-looking colors instead of golden, to find Kyoko quite as attractive as he once had.

Ren shook his head, pushing away thoughts of Kyoko and instead focusing on the building in front on him. He had been standing outside for over an hour, and although the two girls at the front desk hadn't stopped staring, he still hadn't been asked to go inside… Perhaps, I should try a more direct approach? Ren thought, walking inside as the words formed in his mind.

He addressed the two giggling workers who had been looking at him and said; "I need to see someone important, right now! It is of utmost importance!"

The girls stopped their squealing for a second to look him over. The one on the right looked at him funny and said, "I'm sorry but I can't just let you see someone… You have to have an appointment."

Ren smiled evilly, his devils coming out to sprawl across his shoulders, making rude hand gestures at the women.

"But I must best Aki…" Ren was in full demon mode. "I simply must talk to someone!"

As Ren spoke, an impressive looking man with graying hair approached him, "Is something the matter?"

…

"What section are you interested in?" Sawara-San, the head of the acting section at L.M.E., asked. "Singing? Acting? T.V. talent?"

At each of these Ren shook his head. Sawara-San narrowed his eyes, "You are just here because of Mogami-San!" He accused.

Ren blinked, although he was aware of Kyoko's belonging to L.M.E. it had never occurred to him that he would probably be working with her in close quarters.

"Mogami-San was never a deciding factor for me to join this company." Ren said honestly.

As the two talked, Ren trying to convince Sawara to let him join the company, Sawara-San getting more and more irritated, light footsteps could be heard. Both of the men turned their faces to meet the eyes of none other than Mogami Kyoko. She stood with an air of command, although her slim figure still held the innocence of youth. And, in fact, it was partially her age that made Japan fall so in love with her. She was only sixteen yet she was so talented! But her talent and youth weren't her only charms. She had beautiful, black hair, big, golden eyes, and a face that needed little make-up to make it perfect. She was known for being somewhat feisty, but demurely so- as if even in her bouts of stubbornness she still had the air of a regal princess… Those who had been in her presence could only describe the experience as "wonderful".

"You want to join show business?" Kyoko asked, in her strong voice.

"Yes!" Ren nodded eagerly.

"Yet, you have no interest in acting or singing?" Kyoko's voice had turned somewhat cold, a strange, icy, smile blooming across her face.

"W-well…"

"Please, don't come back!" Kyoko sang, a lady-like smile freezing Ren in his tracks.

Ren realized that while Kyoko was speaking she had escorted him out the door. Ren tried to re-enter the building but the door was locked. Well, Ren thought, they can't get rid of me that easily.

For five hours Ren stood in front of L.M.E. His stare never wavered, always focused on the window of Sawara-San's office window. His demons laughed psychotically on his shoulders, casting out an ominous aura. As Ren sat cris-crossed on the sidewalk he heard the soft mumbling of a secret being whispered. Ren perked up, his demons enhancing his hearing just enough so he could understand the near silent mutterings.

"…I wonder how long he is going to sit our front?" The voice was coming from two women who were hanging around where he was, selling perfume.

"I know! It is kind of sad, after all employees always use the back door!"

"I feel guilty just sitting here watching him wait."

"Well we can't tell him just because he is gorgeous!"

"I know…"

The voices faded away as Ren and his various demons contemplated this new information. Hmm… the backdoor? Sawara-San, ready or not, here I come!

Hopefully, the new chapter will come soon... if I can think of a good idea :C :P
