Chapter Two :: The Plan

"I'm going mad," Yashiro told himself as he gazed at the puppy, he felt his allergies appearing slightly but managed to hold back what would have been a rather loud sneeze. "I'm talking to a dog, it's not as if you are Ren are you?" he asked before hearing Ren reply.

'Yashiro!' the puppy barked at him 'I am Ren, what happened to me? Why am I like this?'

"I'm sorry," Yashiro replied with a weak smile, "I don't speak dog, to think that I thought you were Ren, but it's not like Ren to just take off all his clothes and disappear," a grin appeared on his face. Did that mean Ren was walking around this place naked, "Do you think he would?" he asked the dog, "Oh you don't understand m-" his eyes widened as he saw the dog shake his head with a firm glare.

'Yashiro listen to me' Ren started to try to explain in a mix of barks and whines as he sat up, he directed a paw at his chest, 'I'm Ren.'

"Are you trying to tell me that you're Ren?" he asked as the dog nodded. "You're Ren?" he repeated, his eyes widening, was he actually having a two-sided conversation with this dog, he watched the dog nod once again and his eyes doubled in size. "You're really Ren?" the puppy nodded a third time before rolling his eyes.

'I think we need help' Ren tried again, but his barks weren't getting through to his manager, he bowed his head feeling defeated before an idea came to mind. Going to the pocket of his jacket, Ren searched through it tugging many things with his mouth until he found it. Picking up the phone, which seemed extremely large and heavy to him in his mouth, he placed it before Yashiro before trying to open it with his paw, struggling with it so he used his teeth to try to lift the front.

Yashiro watched in amazement as the dog put his paw on the phone, but even as a puppy his paw was too big to press the numbers and as he pressed several of them at a time there came a loud beep from the phone as if an error had been made. Ren tried again with his now cold, black nose, but once again pressed too many numbers at once and the phone made a loud beep which startled him.

Yashiro sighed, "Well I don't know what to do," he said defensively, "I think going to the president might help, if he'll even believe me...he would be the one person out of everyone who would believe me. So what kind of name shall I give you, star?"

Ren shook his head quickly, 'Star? What kind of name is that?'

Yashiro looked at him, "Listen, I've never had a pet, Kiniro?" he asked using the equivalent for Gold colored in Japanese before seeing Ren shake his head. "Yes I admit that is kind of a pathetic name, what about Kinji?" he asked before seeing Ren tilt his head to the side thoughtfully, perhaps this was the best thing that they could come up with. "It's a play on Kenji you see just with the word gold in it."

Ren sighed before nodding defeatedly, so it was going to be Kinji? Well, it wasn't as if he could tell Yashiro what name he wanted so they'd have to go with that.

"Alright Ren, Kinji it is."

….

After Yashiro had taken Ren to LME, he had held the puppy in his arms, Ren's clothes and personal items in a bag that was also in his hands, and boarded the elevator ignoring the numerous cries of how cute the dog was. He had watched as Ren had struggled in his arms, that was until Yashiro allowed him to press the button for Lory's floor which seemed to calm him down a little and impressed everyone else in the elevator. "Kinji" he scolded as Ren started to struggle again as more people started looking at him and asking questions before getting off at their floors, "Stop it, can you just keep calm for a moment? After we talk to the president he can sort out what to do with you."

Once they had gotten to the top floor, Lory's floor, Yashiro had gotten off to see Maria already there. Her eyes widened as she noticed the puppy and she couldn't help but blush and squeal at how adorable he was. Yashiro smiled at her kindly as he bent down and allowed her to stroke 'Kinji' on the top of his head.

"I'm sorry Ren," she said to everyone's surprise. Ren tilted his head to the side and gave a small bark, Maria looked up sadly at Yashiro before shivering, "He can't talk anymore?"

"No, he doesn't seem to be able to, but most dogs can't talk," Yashiro replied. As he placed the once again struggling puppy onto the floor he looked at Maria and lifted an eyebrow, "How did you know this was Ren?" he asked not in a cold voice, but his tone was straightforward nevertheless.

"Umm," Maria replied awkwardly, "Because this is a spell I accidentally cast," she looked at Ren quickly as the dog's eyes narrowed. "I'm so sorry Ren, I didn't know this would happen," she quickly apologized tears in her eyes, "I just wanted Ren to be close to me, unfortunately grandpa won't let me take care of a dog."

Ren's eyes darted back to Yashiro who looked as if he were about to sneeze again,

"Don't look at me," the manager replied, his hands up in surrender, the bag of clothes now on the floor, "I already told you that I'm slightly allergic to you now, besides my landlord doesn't want me keeping pets?" At that word he heard Ren bark again and had to guess what he was saying, "I'm sorry, but with the way you appear right now how could anyone think you were anything more, I can't exactly tell people that this is my client who mysteriously transformed into a dog."

"No you can't," Lory agreed as he magically appeared. Today was a day when he was dressed up as a cowboy, he had the hat, a blue denim jacket on, brown trousers and even boots with spurs on them. He tilted his head as he studied the small dog, "I've been waiting for your arrival Ren, would you follow me to the office?" He heard Ren bark in agreement before coming up to his heel as fast as he could. "You do look much cuter as a puppy," he commented before Ren glared at him, "Even when you're angry it somewhat melts your heart now."

Ren looked at him, sitting up as tall as he could which only came up to just above Lory's ankle and barked sadly, 'Lory, I have jobs later today I can't stay as a dog forever, I want to know the reverse spell right now.'

Lory crouched down next to the puppy so they could look eye to eye, "Now," he reached out and petted Ren's now fluffy head gently, he stopped his hand on the actor's head, "There's no use barking at me, for one thing I don't really understand what these barks mean so I'm going to have to guess, for a second the reverse spell takes at least two weeks to kick in so you're going to be like this for a while."

Ren's eyes widened, 'Two weeks? I can't stay this way for two weeks?' he continued to whine even though he knew that no one understood what he was saying.

"Two weeks?" Yashiro asked before putting a hand to his head, how many cancelled interviews and photo shoots did that mean? How many times would he have to ask the director to postpone their work because Ren was going through a personal crisis. "I'm sure I can manage to get you time off for that long Ren."

'Time off?' Ren asked his eyes widening and he shook his head as he argued with Yashiro.

"Well," his manager countered back, "It's not as if you really can act properly at the moment or are you forgetting that you're part of the canine family for a short time. There's nothing more I can do than get you time off I'm afraid."

"During that time," Lory continued stroking Ren behind the ear, "It's best if as few people know about this as possible,"

"I know," Yashiro nodded, "It's not as if many people would actually believe me if I went up to them and told them the truth Takarada-san."

"That's right," Lory replied, "And we're going to have to find someone to take care of you."

Ren shook his head stubbornly, 'I'm fine taking care of myself' he protested as he saw a gleam in Lory's eyes and sat up. He directed a paw in Lory's direction, 'You, you take care of me'

Lory sighed and shook his head, "I can't Ren, my schedule is ridiculously packed as it is, however I'm sure that taking care of a puppy is the perfect job for a LoveMe member." He saw Ren's eyes widen as Lory took out his phone, "I've already sent a member of my staff to get some dog toys, a collar and leash, some dog treats, and some other things that you might need to be comfortable in this state, the license will need to be bought once we figure out an alias for you to go under, but I think it might be time to give Mogami-san a call, what do you say?"

Ren frowned at him before barking, 'I am going to kill you'.
