Hello,

I'm sorry it took longer than I anticipated but I got really sick and because of the dizziness I couldn't look on a screen. But now I'm better. I'm just glad that I managed to only miss one exam.

Oh and for the sake of the story we'll pretend that leaving contacts in for a longer time and overnight won't have any consequences.

brennakai, well not every night when they have work as themselves, that would be too much stress for them. I mean what do you expect from people that have an image like the siblings? Staying out all night and only return late for work the next day, would probably be something fitting for them. While the siblings are out doing mysterious stuff nobody wants to ask them about, our two actors can do their work or take a nap. And regarding Kuu begging to see Kyoko, what do you think the Hizuri couple did to get Lory so annoyed to play a little prank on them? But I'm glad you're interested!

cinderamethyst, thank you for pointing out I've been writing her name wrong. I guess my tired brain thought that's how you write Kyoko. Now that you mention it, there really are a lot doing that. I'll try it out and see how it looks, thx.

And to everyone else Thank you for your interest, I hope it will stay interesting for you.

Without further ado to the story!

Thoughts

The apartment 6:16 am

Kuu was about to throw his alarm clock off the nightstand when it stopped. The sun was just starting to rise and orange light started to seep through the cracks in the curtains. He stretched out on his back. Ah man it's still so early, I don't really want to wake up but I'm hungry though. Should I cook or should we order room-service again? Theses "siblings" are hopefully not awake yet. Then I could spoil Julie with breakfast in bed. If Kyoko were here she would probably have a good idea for something out of the ordinary. Maybe she knows a Kyoto home style breakfast, that I don't? But she probably isn't awake yet or at work, so she wouldn't answer me in time. He sighed and carefully slipped out of bed to make breakfast. To his relive the siblings were out of sight. The fridge didn't contain much, in his opinion although the fridge was packed. Except for the beer cans it was all very healthy. Julie's favourite food were pancakes so he made a big plate full of pancakes. This wouldn't fill his stomach though, which meant he had to go out later. It would be bad if the fridge was empty when the siblings woke up.

Julie was pleasantly surprised when he woke her. These little things were the reason why she loved him. When they were done they made themselves ready and left the apartment without encountering the siblings nor a sign that they were even awake.

"Do you think they're going to make it to the set on time? Unlike us they have to walk. Oh we should have asked them if they wanted to drive with us! But they somewhat scared me. I shouldn't be, they didn't do anything except being... different?" Julie had directed their conversation towards the siblings again.

"Yeah they're just different. I have a feeling they would have turned down our offer. But we should still offer to take them to the set tomorrow if they otherwise can't be on time. Of course under the condition that they're awake because I'm not going to wake them up, they're old enough. Mhmm... but that girl seems to be around Kyoko's age! Maybe... No, I said I wouldn't judge. We'll watch them for today and then I will draw my conclusion!" too many bad scenarios were running through his head. He didn't want them anything bad, only the thought that Kyoko might be in such a situation, what ever that might be, didn't sit well with him.

"Dear, you feel proud of that last sentence, do you?" Julie smiled at her husband. She hasn't met Kyoko but she knew that girl must be a very good girl and she knew just how much Kuu adores that girl.

They arrived at the set shortly after. Director Konoe introduced them to the rest of the cast when all but the siblings had arrived.

Back at the apartment 8:21 am

The sun shone through the curtains. Kyoko had her back to the window but the sun was creeping towards her face. When it reached her eyes she couldn't ignore it any longer. Her sleepy eyes landed on the alarm clock. 8:22. They are about an hour late. On their first day. I could have sworn I had set my alarm! Did I forgot to set it or did I overheard it? Kyouko was freaking out but Setsuka shoved her down and slowly rose up. She put on some clothes before she woke up Cain who had been sleeping deeply.

"Nii-san wake up! If we're not appearing on set at some point it will take longer and we don't have much time together! I'll go and prepare breakfast. And you get up." Setsuka whined. "And I want some more time with you alone! Without getting interrupted by this good for nothing director."

Cain grumbled and stood up very slowly. By the time she was done with the breakfast, Cain was sitting on the sofa. Setsuka plopped down next to her brother.

"Ne Nii-san, do you think we're British enough?" Kyoko had been worrying this the whole last day. Yesterday was chaos and they probably didn't keep an eye on our behaviour. We have to be careful from now on.

"Don't worry Setsu! We sound British enough for British people who see the world! And by the way we're strange enough. So don't you worry your cute little head off." He knew his parents were preoccupied with their behavior and looks that they will most likely dismiss their way of speaking. "But you should start swearing, once in a while."

Setsuka seemed happy with the answer she got.They finished their breakfast and left for the studio but not before Setsuka changed into longer pants. Not that he didn't like the shorts and the view, it was just that he didn't know who was going to be in the cast and would see her. They took their time to walk there. Their fingers were intertwined and Setsu was leaning into Cain's side, like always.

"The moment you were late I knew it was you two, no one else would arrive this late. Especially with someone like Hizuri-sama on the set. You still don't know how to be punctual! You're two and a half hour late!" Of course the first to great them, when they arrived, was none other than Murasame. Murasame was talking himself into a rage and most of all talking to himself. The two just walked past him as if he wasn't even there. His brain caught up when the siblings reach the director and the Hizuris.

"Tzk, still a cheesebrain. I think it got more holes as last time!" Setsuka evily giggled with a grin towards her brother. Cain's short grin didn't sit well with their audience.

"Hey, stop ignoring me already. I'm talking to you!" Murasame tried again but to no avail so he stomped off to the other cast-members muttering to himself.

"Ah yes, you already know Murasame-kun and Manaka-chan. President Takarada told me he introduced you already to the Hizuris?" asked director Konoe.

"Yes." answered Kuu and Setsu simultaneously. There was a significant difference in their tone. Kuu sounded rather uncomfortable while Setsuka sounded like she was bored out of her mind.

"Wonderful. Now that we don't spend more time uselessly. You will get acquainted with the others,... or not, while on set and in your breaks. We have a tight schedule." Because you are late again was left unsaid. Director Konoe knew they would do whatever they wanted anyway, just as they are designed to. He had to play his part as well. Uh I'm excited! Though what is this all about?

Setsuka made herself comfortable in a chair to the side to watch her brother try some small fight scenes with Kuu and Murasame. An hour into their battles Cain turned towards his sister. Murasame, who was taking a short break as the director was going over the end fight between Kuu and Cain, was trying to get into a conversation with Setsuka.

"Aren't you even a bit excited to meet somebody as famous as Hizuri-sama? Oh yeah your brother is more important than anyone else, sorry. But how can you not be excited about meeting him? It could be a big opportunity for both of you, you know."

Setsuka tried to ignore him. While Julie was standing close to them, leaned against a wall. She had been observing the scene closely. Something else had caught her attention just now as she looked away towards the brother and her husband. Cain's glare at Murasame looked like he was to kill him with one look. Murasame on the other hand ignored the goosebumps he got and leaned even nearer Setsuka.

"Hey, Setsu! Water, please." Cain yelled across the room to his sister, who obliged and got him a bottle. She stayed near her brother and far away from Murasame for the rest of the talk and the fighting.

After a brief schedule overlook the siblings walked into the dressing room for Cain's fitting. They will have to do some minor changes to some of his clothes but the clothes from the scenes for the next day were good. Around 3pm the siblings disappeared from the set. Director Konoe explained that they also had some other project while their still in japan, so it wouldn't be too uncommon for them to disappear though they might need their stay to be extended as Cain's role had some last minute tweaks.

When the Hizuri couple came back to the shared apartment, the siblings still hadn't returned. Kuu's stomach was empty and he hadn't gotten a replay from Kyoko yet.

"Man what a day! Kyoko hasn't answered yet but I'm hungry! What should I do for dinner? I have no idea!" Kuu complained

Julie smiled at her husband and patted his shoulder. "Maybe you should eat some snacks first. That girl is brobably very busy, especially if she is as good as you say. She'll answer soon enough." She got out some chips and made herself comfortable on the sofa and turned on the TV. Box R has a rerun on evening TV and just started ad the TV went on.

"Wow Natsu is cruel! If I see this can't believe Kyoko is as sweet as you say but that just means that she is actually a very good actress!" said Julie already excited.

"Speaking of being bad influence, that Cain seems to be bossing around his sister. Yesterday she was cleaning up after him and today she had to fetch him some water although he could have easily gotten it himself. That's not very good for that girl. And now where are they? Is he taking her somewhere dangerous? Is she going on her own free will or is he forcing her? You know it just doesn't seem to be healthy." Kuu let out a long sigh.

"I was watching her the whole time and to me it seemed like she really had only eyes for her brother. She was completely ignoring that Murasame who was trying to get her attention. From my point, it looked like Cain saw that his sister was not happy with her situation and that was his way of getting her out of the situation. We'll probably have to ask her. ... By the way dear your phone is flashing, maybe that's Kyoko."Julie was right, it was Kyoko. She recommended steamed vegetables with meat and as dessert maybe something new. Shaved ice with maple syrup and sunflower seeds.

"Hahaha. That sounds interesting. Shaved ice with maple syrup and sunflower seeds. Should we try it?"

"Can't be that bad. Does she write more?"

"No, just that Yashiro, her and Tsuruga's manager, is... taking..." Kuu trailed off. Julie looked at her husband.

"Yes?"

"I have to ask her for his number! He knows when and where she is tomorrow and then we can surprise visit her! Wouldn't that be awesome? We would also get to see her work!"

Julie couldn't stop her husband's excitement but she understood it and was equally excited to finally meet that girl. He was already texting her back and off to the kitchen to fill their stomachs. They ate while watching the rest of the first two episodes and talked about the show. They went to bed and before going to sleep Kuu texted Yashiro asking him to help surprise Kyoko. The siblings were still gone by the time the couple was drifting of to sleep.
