Kyoko was sitting in her chair trembling, she was not scared no. More so she was embarrassed. She was embarrassed because these scenes were explicit, and she was more than likely going to be the female character in the three episodes. Oh gosh, what was she going to do if Ren was cast as the one who pushes her against the wall? OH GOSH what if it Shoutaro!? Either way, there was not better option than the other. If it Ren opposite of her, she would be afraid that her true feelings for him would seep out, that could absolutely NOT happen. It would not be any better with Shoutaro because she did not want to seem vulnerable to him. Not when her guard is down in those scenes. "So, who is playing which characters?" she heard Ren spit out. She immediately shot her head up and looked at the President with full on doe eyes. "Yeah, I was curious about that too" Shoutaro piped in, which is odd because he has not really spoken this whole meeting. "Settle down boys, each of you will get a fair part" Lory glanced at Ren and gave him a sly grin. Ren looked away and pretended to pick an invisible thread off of his charcoal sweater. What on earth was that about? She wondered to herself.
"Each episode will have at least two of you in it, Sho and Mogami-kun will be cast as Trey and Unna In 'Nothing is set in stone'" Kyoko looked at Sho and turned pale like a ghost. "That excited are we?" Sho grinned at her. "Sho, Tsuruga-san and Kyoko; you will all be in 'Skull Crusher'" Kyoko had yet to study more about Skull Crusher so she just nodded. "Finally, Tsuruga-san and Kyoko will be in 'Nothing but Mammals'" Kyoko went wide eyed and gulped looking down at her hands in her lap. "I look forward to acting alongside you Mogami-san" Ren whispered in a silky voice. The same voice that she had heard before, she dared to look at his face to confirm her suspicions. Slowly she turned her head to face Tsuruga-san and there it was: The Emperor of the Night.
"Alright, with that being said the meeting is finished and I will see you all back here tomorrow. Kyoko can I speak with you please" Lory called. Kyoko got out of her chair and went to where the President was standing. "You wanted to speak with me?" she stood straight up and folded her hands together. "Yes, I have a task I want you to do" she gulped "what sort of task, is it a LoveMe job?" he chuckled "No, no, this is a task just for you". "Alright, Takarada-san what is this task?" she straightened her back some more, preparing herself for the worst. "I want you to practice some scenes with Ren" Wait…wait…..WHATTT!? "AHH! I really d..do not think that would be best sir!" she stammered. "Well, you need the practice in these types of scenes and Ren would be the best teacher. He has done similar scenes before, you know the steamy, passionate scenes. No backing out, this is the job I am giving you and I want it completed. TONIGHT" Lory chuckled away and left the room. Kyoko was soon left in the room by herself and all she could think about was how on earth she was going to be able to pull off those sort of scenes. This is all part of the learning process she told herself, there will be not actual doing the…union. It will all be good, at least she hoped it would be good.
That night, Kyoko called Tsuruga-san, she asked him if he was willing to practice some scenes with her and he agreed. Okay, so far so good. He picked her up from the Darumaya at 7 pm, she decided on an outfit that she thought matched Michiko. She was trying to find the Michiko in herself, and was finding that it was hard. Michiko was a 17 year old high school student like Kyoko. She liked cute and pretty things, she also enjoyed shopping with her friends, which she had many of as she was so cute herself. Michiko was athletic and loved to eat red bean cakes. Basically she was a normal high school cute girl, this was not Kyoko. Either way she chose an outfit that she thought Michiko would like. It was white chiffon peasant top that clung too tightly to her chest; Kyoko paired it with a pair of grey Capri pants and her white flower kitten heels. The final touch was Princess Rosa as it was her battle armour in situations like this. Hopefully Natsu does not slip out. Kyoko shook her head at the thought that would be a disaster.
Ren pulled up to the curb and Kyoko got into the car, Ren had a ghostly look on his face. She wondered what was wrong, then she saw him clench his fists on the steering wheel. That was a sign that she should not pester into what is bothering him for now. Kyoko turned her head and looked out the window, he was so close to her that she was finding it hard to breathe. She wanted to touch him. That was not her place though, she was just a lowly kouhai, Ren would be furious if he knew what was going on through her mind. Kyoko herself, was terrified at the thoughts that were arising in her mind. They all consisted of her and Ren doing the things in the scenes but only ten times more intense. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, good gosh Kyoko remain pure! She repeated that to herself until they reached Ren's apartment. Ren got out of the car and went to the passenger side. He opened her door for her, "Shall we then?" he smiled that lovely smile at her. Kyoko knew that this night was going to be something to remember, that alone terrified her.
