Set on – Be more active
Throw a kiss to a shy heart

The first day of filming was very sucessful. By which I mean it was hilarious. We knew from the very beginning that the DVD would have one hell of a blooper reel. Me and Hikaru got to know each other very well and that's probably what led to what happened next. Basically, on the eighth day of filming, Hikaru took me aside to talk to me. He seemed nervous and I couldn't guess what he was going to ask me.

"Hey, I wondered if you could help me with something..." He said, I could tell by the tone of his voice that he didn't think I would accept.

"What is it?" I asked. He was blushing a little.

"Well I've been discussing things with my agent and she said I need to do something to get the tabloids talking about me more" He Said. I still didn't get what he was saying.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Surely you did stuff like this in China too" He nodded shyly.

"Yeah but... She suggest you and me go on... A few dates to you know..." Finally I understood. He wanted me and him to pretend to date as a publicity stunt.

"Sure" I said. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little embarrassed to be asked and I guess I must have been blushing.

"You don't have to if you don't want to"

"No, I do - I mean... I want to help in any way that I can" As you can imagine, things were becoming pretty awkward so we were pretty glad when we got called over to film the next scene.

After filming had finished, we agreed on the plan for our first "date".

We decided to go to a movie because we both liked action movies. I never told him this at the time but I had already seen the movie with Rei the week before but he really wanted to see it so we went together. It was a good movie anyway. There were lots of hot guys and cool fight scenes. As we had planned, the press discovered this "secret rendezvous" and we pretended to be shocked while also not doing a good job at hiding that we were in a "relationship". It was pretty successful if I do say so myself. Even I was impressed with my acting skills. There's a reason I was cast as the female lead in the hit new TV series Aurora Wedding.

After that I was driven home by Hikaru. I was a little worried about him seeing the dump where I lived but he was pretty cool about it. He was really funny too! I've never met someone with a sense of humour as nonsensical as mine! I thought to myself how I should introduce him to Usagi and the others.

When he drew up outside my flat, I saw that Artemis had been waiting for me.

"Aw what a sweet cat, is he your's?" Hikaru asked. He reached out to stroke him but Artemis moved away before he could.

"Yeah, his name's Artemis and he doesn't seem to like you much!" I replied silently angry at the cat's reactions. Silly cat. Getting jealous that I left him alone to go on a date.

"Do you want to come in for coffee?" I asked, forgetting how much of a dump my place was. Luckily for me, he said he should possibly get home. Even so we both stood around making small talk for a few more minutes.

"I had a lot of fun today, Aino-san" I blushed, I wished he would use my first name.

"You can call me Minako or Mina, if you want."

"Ok Mina" as he was saying that he lent in and kissed me softly on the lips. I was surprised. I hadn't been kissed like that since Kaitou Ace. The thought of him made me sad and Hikaru must have noticed.

"I'm sorry, was I too forward?"

"No! It was wonderful! I mean It was cool. It just reminded me of... A sempai that broke my heart" I blurted out Mako's old catch phrase. I mean, it was technically true. I hoped I didn't look like too much of an idiot. He smiled me.

"I'm sorry to hear that, he must have been a jerk. See you tomorrow then?" I nodded happily and went inside. It was then that I noticed the butterflies that had filled my stomach.

Hikaru Chen had just kissed me!
