Hello,

First of I have to apologise for taking so long. First I was caught up with Exams and graduating and then I got stuck with the story, that's why I am going to explain the movie they're filming in the next chapter.

Brennakai, I agree with you. I had thought of that as well and had already planned on including Jeanne d'Arc. Yeah, poor Yashiro but to our luck he is the perfect manager!

H-Nala Let's see how long it works out!

Cinderamethyst you're welcome. Of course you took your time to tell me what you think! And after you pointed the spelling out it was really bugging me.

Thank you as always and again I'm sorry it took so long.

Thoughts

6:56 Darumaya

Kyoko was, surprisingly, awake before her alarm clock. It had been a long night with lots of night scenes for Sacred Lotus. Tsuruga-san had even more to do but less than he had expected. Yashiro-san had spread and piled the work of three weeks before and after the project as if he had known of Lory's plan. She made herself ready and skipped down the stairs. The Okami was preparing breakfast.

7:30 Jelly's trailer

"Good morning Ten, shacho." Tsuruga-san and Kyoko greeted as they entered the trailer.

Lory stood up "Good morning you two. Ren we need to speak about something, my car is waiting outside."

The car was his black limousine, the windows were darkened and the car in general stood out in a creepy way. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what was disturbing about it.

"And? How are you feeling? Everything's alright?" Lory looked like toddler on sugar rush.

"I'm actually feeling very good though I don't know how Mogami-san is coping, she loves my father as much as he loves her. Speaking of him, I think we are going to drive my father insane. He is really worried, especially about Setsuka." A smile found its way on Ren's face.

Lory grinned "So... Everything is going well between Mogami-kun and you? No problems? Kuu doesn't suspect anything?"

Oh boy... What is he up to now? Ren stared at his boss to try to figure out what he is thinking but had to give up due to Lory's remarkable ability to control every centimeter of his face. "Yeah everything is going just fine between Mogami-san and I. But I think we need a stronger alibi or else he might suspect something. If you only say you have a secret project with the Heel-siblings its not going to work. He'll want to see something should he start to suspect something."

Lory thought about it. "You're right. If you get an offer, take it. If there is none I will do something. But what ever happens, do not take your eyes of the girl. You hear me. Setsuka is your manager, so she won't agree to jobs but she won't leave your side. So keep an eye on her." Lory warned. Mhm... but an actual secret project... Hahaha that's going to be fun. "If you don't have anything you want to talk about then you should get ready yourself. We don't want Setsuka to get bored, do we?" He chuckled. That would be a scene to see. Ren smiled "Well, I would be totally fine." She would whine, hopefully.

They stepped outside and just as predicted a very bored looking Setsu was talking to Miss Woods. "Oh, darling and Ren are back. Wait here, I'll get you your brother." She winked at Setsuka and went over to the trailer.

"You better do that. I prefer my dear brother over this pretty boy. Not as amazing as my Nii-san." She mumbled the last part arrogantly to herself. A few minutes later Cain emerged from the trailer. He only had to get a new set of clothes and get rid of the wig, change his contacts. Setsuka went straight to his side. "Nii-san I really missed you!"The way his little sister was behaving was adorable he couldn't resist so he patted her on the head. Setsuka's eyes shone when she looked up at him. "Don't worry. I will always come back. Let's go, I still owe you a date." He took her hand in his and they disappeared into the city without a goodbye.

"Darling? They actually love each other, right?" Jelly asked. She had talked with Kyoko a little about Ren and later with Setsuka about her brother. Kyoko had indirectly said that she has fallen for Ren. The way Cain had looked at his sister was not how you look at your sister, rather a baby or the person you truly love. She didn't get a spoken answer but one look at her darling, she knew she was right.

The siblings had wandered around the city for 30 minutes until Cain decided that she had to try something on. Lastly they entered a Jeanne d'Arc. Cain found his sister a black, kneelong puffy skirt, dress. The top of the dress had little golden pattern and two silver sculls connecting the top and the holder.

"I don't know, Nii-san. Something is missing." Setsuka looked around. On the way to the men's belt stand, she passed an intriguing suit. The lapel was made out of black sheep wool. The rest of the suit was black except for the shirt, which was a light grey tone. The pocket in the jacket had a black and red handkerchief in it. The tie was red with a black cross on it. "Nii-san~ Can you come over for a minute? I think I found something!"

With his long legs he covered the distance fast. Setsuka looked up at him and pointed to the suit she had found. "Nii-san I really wanna see it on you, even though it could use some skulls or chains. But please?" He would never be able to say no to his cute little sister, not with that face. His lips twitched slightly upward and he took the suit. Without a word he disappeared into the changing cabin. Excitedly she looked through the belts that were on display. she found a fitting skull-belt. Mhm... I don't want him to pay for this... It's not cheap at all. He'll do it anyway doesn't he? I should allow him this once. That means I need fitting shoes.

It didn't take him long to put the suit on. When he came out he could see her admire her outfit in the mirror. She looked up when she heard him. With his best Cainstyle-modeling he walked towards her and presented the suit. "Wow, Nii-san you look amazing!"

"Excuse me miss,... ahm... I don't know if its appropriate to ask but... would you two be willing to model for our new collection? My boss asked me to find somebody suited for the collection and you two seem to be the type. We would pay you good and you could keep some of the clothes!" the clothes of the staff that had approached looked very fitting for this place but her demeanor didn't. She was rather timid but that also could have been Cain's aura or the fact that Setsuka was staring deadly at the woman.

"I'm not a model and I don't think Nii-san is good enough for you." She looked at her brother. "But this suit looks excellent on him. Nii-san, what do you think? Do you want to work for this peasant as a model? We would get payed and you could use the money to spoil me!"

The assistant understood a bit English but was too terrified to say something. "You like it?" Cain could see the light blush on his sisters cheeks and how she looked at her reflection. Kyoko would definitely like the dress in itself. "I'll buy it! I agree to the offer. Do we have time now?"

"No we don't but I'll arrange something. Tomorrow evening?" Cain nodded and went back to change into his clothes. "And Nii-san, that looks great on you." She didn't know that he was going to buy it anyway.

She arranged a time with the assistant for the shoot and Cain paid the clothes Setsuka was still wearing and the suit. He took the bags and they left for the studio.

8:56 Studio in front of the dressing rooms

Kuu was leaning against the empty corridor wall, trying to reach his boss. After the fifth attempt and the third ringing Lory picked up the phone. "Come on boss. You can't do this to me! Now I get the chance to see my girl and your not letting me!? How unfair is that?"

"A good morning to you too, Kuu. I assume you contacted Yashiro to get Kyoko's location and he told you that he wouldn't tell you?" He could hear the smile on Lory's lips.

"Oh come on! Don't keep her away from me. What do I have to do to meet her? I want to surprise her so asking her is not an option! Please boss, tell me!"

"No, I won't so stop. By the way how is it going with the siblings?" The change of topic earned him a groan.

"They're scary. Not themselves but their behavior! They don't behave like siblings should and I think Cain might be bad for Setsuka-chan. I tell you there is something very wrong. They haven't come back yet. They were out all night! Can you believe that! What about their parents? Aren't they worried?" Kuu said infuriated.

"To be honest I don't really know. Cain is already old enough and he said he had always been the one responsible for her. He also had legal documents." Lory answered after a short pause. "Why do you think he is bad for her?"

"Do you not understand? He kept her outside the whole night! Their clothing style! Their behavior with each other, it's inappropriate! He seems to be commanding her around. I don't know Stockholm-syndrom? Somebody should separate them or at least look into their situation. Cain seems to have some issues. Setauka needs" He couldn't finish his sentence. The phone flew to the floor and something landed on his foot. He starred straight into Setsuka's eyes. She looked angry and displeased.

"Stop talking shit. Nii-san is perfect and do not try to separate us." She flipped him the bird and she turned around stepped on the phone while walking past him towards the changing room. Cain glared at him and put his arm around her. Before they reached the room they passed Julie coming out of her chanhing room.

"Are you OK?" Don't worry. He won't be mad at you. Cain asked her and opened the door.

"I'm fine." she mumbled and the door fell shut behind them.

Julie found her husband standing in the corridor looking down at his broken phone. "What happened to your phone?"

"Setsuka stepped on it after taking it out of my hand. I was talking to Lory about Kyoko and the siblings. I think she really didn't like the idea of getting separated from her... brother. I think I just made matters worse. I'm afraid of the scene later on. But have you seen what she was wearing?"

"Don't worry Kuu, we're going to be fine. It wasn't that bad, I could imagine worse. What did Lory say? When am I going to meet the girl?"

"I hope you're right. We won't be meeting her yet. They won't tell me where she is... Maybe we should surprise her at her home? Does that sound good? You will love her. But I think I need a new phone first..." Kuu looked pitying down at his phone. Julie gently patted his shoulder. Kuu took his phone and they went to the set where director Konoe was waiting.

A little later the siblings arrived at the set. To the sourounding actors and assistances it felt like the siblings were even closer. There was a brand new, very evil and even higher wall than before that shielded them from everyone else.

The filming was to Kuu's relieve rather uneventful. Every time Cain Glared too long at him, Setsuka would redirect his gaze at her. Gladly the scene with the knife at his throat was postponed. It was the scene where Cain's character and his clashed for the third and nearly last time. The doctor, Kuu's character, had found his opponent's sister who he wanted back. The actress playing the sister had an emergency which caused the filming schedule to be even more tight. Left were only the few scenes with Kuu and two with Cain, anyway.

Meanwhile Setsuka was thinking about what she could do to disturb them even more.

8:29pm end of filming

At the end of the filming day they all went their way. The siblings to the hotel and the Hizuries to the Darumaya.

Kuu entered the Darumaya first, Julie followed suit. "Hello misses. I was wondering if Kyoko was here?" Kuu greeted the landlady.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir. She is not here. She said she was staying with a friend for filming, somewhere in Kyoto! Perherps, if you give me your name I could tell her that you were here and she should get back to you?"

"Oh, no ma'am. We wanted to surprise her because she doesn't know I am here. I suppose you don't know how long this will take, do you?"

"No I am so sorry I really don't. But it's wonderful she has made friends with people that like to make her happy with such sweet surprise. How about you two stay for a little while. My husband and I are currently not so busy." The Hizuris looked at each other and took the offer. "What can I bring you?"

Meanwhile at the apartment

"Hey Nii-san? Do you mind if some things are crawling around here?"He looked at her with furrowed brows.What is she up to now? "If you sleep in my bed as well then I don't mind." Kyoko had to give it her best not to turn bright red but instead to smile evil.

"How about you go and get yourself ready for bed. I think we're going rather early to bed today." Even though he didn't understand exactly what his sister had in store now, he complied and went of to the bathroom. When he came back to their room, his sister had already changed into her night clothes.

"Are you going to tell me what you did?""Nop! But you will find out either tonight or tomorrow. Depends on when exactly, who discovers my little present! Just know that this will be the end of phase 1." Setsu was grinning ear to ear. "You should go sleep now. I'll join you when I brushed my teeth. ... Don't look at me like that? You'll need all the the sleep you can get! ... What? Don't tell me you don't trust me!" Cain patted her head.

"Sorry. Of course I trust you, good night." Damn. Wait, phase 1 out of how many?And as promised, he felt her weight on the bed and a few seconds later how she snuggled into the blanket.

9:58pm

They had a nice chat with Kyoko's landlady and could see why Kyoko liked living there. When they entered the apartment it was dark. There was no sound. Kuu turned on the light and the first thing he saw was that the sibling's shoes were standing next to the wall.

"They're here!" They looked at each other and Julie only shrugged her shoulders. "Man I'm hungry. Let's see what's in the fridge!" Julie giggled.

"You know, I've been wondering all day what the conversation between Cain and Setsuka was about. He asked her if she was OK. I wonder why. Could it be that... What is that? AAAHHH SPIDERS??? How to hell did they get in my lunchbox?" Julie had followed Kuu into the kitchen and opened her lunchbox to wash it but found spiders inside it.

"Holy sh... Okay that was... somewhere here were glasses. Mhm... Ah found a glass." He swiftly caught the spiders to set them free next thing in the morning. Then proceeded to open a cupboard to get something. "What the hell! Ants??? What is going on here?"

The rest of the evening was spend with catching a variety of bugs and for safety measures they decided to sleep on the sofa.
