Hey there, yeah, I know, Ffffiiinally... well I thought, since this story isn't about the main characters (Kyoko&Ren) it doesn't get that much attention, but I still feel guilty so I decided to update here is the new chapter. Enjoy R&R and do tell me if you find any errors, I didn't proofread this one...

Iimura Hitomi, Saotomi Ryu and Sureha Ryo Are my own inventions any similarities with real life characters (or those in Drama/anime/manga's ) are pure coincidental.

She had done it, finally she had done it. She still could not believe her gut for asking his, and by that I do mean HIS help. Well, to be correct, she, and then I mean she as in Kyoko, had gone. She herself would never dare go to HIM for help. So... Kyoko had gone and complain to president Takarada himself saying Moko was to noisy always complaining about how Yashiro would always avoid her whenever they met. That, of course was a total lie. Not that Moko was complaining about Yashiro, no, the lie was in the form of Kyoko complaining about Kanae, being the good friend she was, Kyoko was all to happy to listen to her best friends complaints about her love life, meaning her being fed up with Moko-san complaining was a total lie. But still, even Kyoko did not want to go to the president and straight out ask for help in a love related matter so they had decided on that.


Now only two days later she could already feel the consequences of Kyoko 'blabbermouth confession' as she liked to call her meeting with the president. She was currently sitting in heart-shaped throne the perfect replica of 'Alice in wonderland's' queen of heart's crown adorning her hair and scepter in hand. She was forced to go on a live show, Iimura Hitomi's love game, a show where the two co-hosts Saotomi Ryu and Sureha Ryo had to battle each other over the invited guests through a quiz. Hitomi, the main host would ask love related questions and give multiple answers from which Ryu and Ryo would each have to pick one, then the guest would pick her own, answer. Meaning it was actually just another gossip show...


Kanae was growling inside, okay, she had wanted something to improve her 'condition' with Yashiro, but wasn't this a bit... much?


"First question" she heard Hitomi say, "Kotonami-san is currently co-starring with the all to famous co-star-killer Tsuruga Ren-sama, has she

1) already left earth to rejoin every single woman in Japan on the little rose cloud,

2) left earth but her little cloud is drifting apart, the co-star-killer can have no effect on her,

3) remained true to her hardworking character and stayed put on the ground?"

Kanae wanted to glare at the host but thought better of it, it wouldn't be wise to glare on a live. So she smiled and pushed the second button, then realized what that meant and quickly changed to the third. "Oho" sounded immediately as the host looked at her suspiciously. 'Sh**' Kanae thought, 'she noticed I changed my mind'. "And Kotonami-san just used up her first 'change of mind' meaning she can only change her mind twice now." the host grinned happily. "Now on to what Ryo and Ryu answered.

The screen behind Ryu showed a 2 "of course Kotonami-san can't think about CSK when she has me in front of her" he said with a serious face. Ryo's screen showed 1 "well all single women are swooning for me, of course Kotonami-san is free to join them" he joked, but every woman in the audience scowled at him so he playfully glared back then pouted. "then let's see Kotonami-san's answer." Hitomi said, revealing a 3 on Kanae's screen and again eying her suspiciously.

"On to the next question, what type of hairstyle should your would-be-boyfriend have, 1) wild like a lion, you would never have to stroke out any bed-hair, 2) classic, businessmen are soooo sexy" Hitomi grinned as the main screen onset revealed a picture of Ren when he had played a businessman, his hair neatly combed back, and again Kanae realized that he was indeed all the bit sexy. "3", Hitomi continued, "short trimmed, the typical sports-head that goes with the perfect body." Kanae hesitated, wondering what fitted Yashiro's description best, then remembered he always wore a suit and went for the second button.
