AN: So I decided to put out a second chapter of this story today and hopefully people will enjoy this more than the last chapter. I was wondering whether I should show flashbacks to the previous two months or whether this was suitable

Please enjoy

Chapter Five :: Before the Audition

Two Months Later

"What do you think of this one?" Matsushima asked looking at the picture of Kazuki. He looked at the form there was all the things one might expect from a son from a wealthy family and also a hopeful candidate for the acting department. "I mean the thing that worries me is the name"

"The name?" Nakazawa asked as he took the form, "What kind of stupid name does he have?"

Sawara-san smiled at them before looking at the fourth man, Yashiro Yukihito, the once manager to the famed Tsuruga Ren. Yashiro had recently taken a break and anyone could tell he felt a lot of guilt for something that wasn't his fault. When one worked with another like that, so closely, so routinely, there grew a bond between them, now that Ren was gone Yukihito was probably grieving. He had finally returned two months later to ask to be Kyoko's manager and everyone had agreed to that especially Kyoko.

"Anderson Kazuki," Matsushima replied, "You know, the son of Anderson Keith," he looked at Nakawaze handing him the form, "Acting division."

"He looks confident," Nakazawa commented as Yashiro looked at the face, nothing familiar but he then looked at the words. Why did he get such a feel from these words? Some of the things he had written and especially his favorite quote, those seemed to be more reminiscent of Ren than someone who was fifteen.

"Isn't this the one president has a feeling about?" Yashiro asked as Matsushima took back the form before putting it in the accepted pile and attached a number to it.

"Might as well give him a chance..." Matsushima nodded, "Don't know how we'll get people to accept the fact his money didn't get him in if he does get in."

"Just trust the ideas on the president," Yashiro nodded before laughing as he picked up the next form, this one was a person doing a peace sign. Guess one wouldn't find as much professionalism as Ren offered easily, he thought sadly.

Half an Hour Later

Kazuki sat quietly listening to his headphones, this was something he found out he could do in this body and it was a skill to separate him from Tsuruga Ren. He mouthed along with the words seeming very professional as he kept half an eye and half an ear open to monitor the room for any surprises. He had been living for two months now as Kazuki Anderson, a very popular, very busy teenager.

He had explained to his 'friends' that he wasn't going to continue to play sports and was going to concentrate on a future as an actor and though, because of his skill, they were quite against the idea by seeing his determination had come to support him. In fact one of the recent high school graduates from the private high school he went to was also here.

"Akira," he nodded to the eighteen year old, he came over to him and saw Akira's eyes widen as he grinned back.

"Kaz," he nodded, "You nervous?" he asked before looking at what Kazuki was listening to his music on, the very rare pANDA surround sound capable mp3 device, the 'pANDA claw 5X4G' "Wow, lucky you," he grinned

"I could get you one...for a price," Kazuki replied weakly, "It's only because of my dad, they've been out for two weeks but are sold out everywhere even the extra stock is sold. I'm sorry," he apologized before Akira laughed.

"Yeah, I know," he grinned, "So what are you trying out for? I really want to get into talent. I respect Bridge a lot and want to try to be a host or something...trouble is I'm not as famous...yet," he added before seeing them post the list for the auditions, Kazuki smiled as he saw his name on the list next to the number 85.

"Acting," Kazuki nodded as he turned the music off, "I think I could be a great actor...eventually," he added with a laugh.

"Okay good," Akira nodded, "Twenty Seven...shame that we won't see each other perform, well all the best," he nodded as he saw different groups get shepherded off.

Kazuki nodded, "Same to you," he grinned before looking back at a small girl who had wandered in. Maria? He asked

Maria looked at them all and then glared, "Everyone who is still here," she announced causing everyone to look at her including Kazuki who had yet to be called since he was in the second fifty. "Don't think that you will ever match up to Hizuri Kuon," Kazuki blinked, "He had talent and a goodness that none of you will ever have," she looked at Kazuki before her eyes widened as he continued to look her directly in the eyes.

"Hello," he nodded with a laugh as she followed him, he had a strange presence about him. Walking over to her everyone turned to watch, "So you're a Ren fan?" he asked

"Ren-san to you," she blinked, "What of it," she said as he looked at her with a guilty expression however he looked away.

"I just find it honorable that you're still fighting so hard for him," Kazuki said confidently, "You didn't know what kind of person he was do you?" he asked in a calm, friendly manner. "How he loved someone other than you."

"You know nothing about Ren-nii!" she squeaked, the depression shown in her eyes. Not only had she lost her mother now, but the one person who had inspired her, had got her out of her shell had died in another accident. This girl, she was just like Kyoko in ways, but he felt sorry for her. She looked up at him to notice his smiling face and then blinked, she had seen that smile before. "Nothing!"

"I'm sorry," he replied gently, "Are you sure you shouldn't be with the president, he's probably looking for you...Maria," he whispered before walking off to go prepare for when he was finally called to perform.

Maria stared at him, how did he know her name? How did he know the president was her grandfather? She blinked before hearing a voice from behind her.

"There you are Maria-chan!" Kyoko panted wearing her Love Me uniform before catching the sight of about fifty teenage and young adult men, "The president asked me to watch you. So..." she winked, "Anyone interesting?"

"That boy," Maria pointed before shaking her head trying not to say anything, "He's cute don't you think?"

"I'm not interested in him," Kyoko replied as Maria blinked up at her 'sister'.

"Did he do something to hurt you?" the eight year old asked as Kyoko paused as she led the girl away from Kazuki. "Who is he?"

"I don't know," Kyoko replied as they finally got out of Kazuki's ear shot.

"I think that boy's a reincarnation of Ren-nii," she laughed as Kyoko stared at him, "It's not crazy right nee-san?"

"That boy doesn't even compare to Tsuruga-san," she replied before seeing him called in and smiled, hopefully their journey would end there.

End Chapter Five:

AN: So since no one reviewed the last chapter I felt like saying that I'm going to be playing "strike out" with my stories, if a story gets no reviews for three chapters in a row I'm going to discontinue it, I know that sounds harsh but it's better than just stopping when I don't get any reviews on one chapter aka...The Forgotten Soul treatment.

I know that sounds really bitchy so I apologize

Please continue to support me
