Chapter 14: Premiere
There were only a few hours left before the Premiere for Tragic Marker but Ren and Kyoko still had to get ready to be their alter egos for the night. Ren was first to get his transformation into Cain while Kyoko waited outside of the trailer.
The whole time Ren was in the trailer getting ready he was thinking how he was going to fix his mistakes and get back the girl that he cares about without exposing his secret. He wasn't ready and felt that if he exposes the point that he loves her it wasn't going to help him this time. It only took about 30 minutes for Ren's transformation to Cain Heel to be completed as he was in his normal attire already.
Once he leaves the trailer he walks towards the girl, but before he could even say one word she walks past him and into the trailer. Ren sighs, "This may take a long time to get to even talk to her…" he thought to himself as it was now his turn to wait.

After almost an hour the trailer door opens to a lady stepping out in a tight strapless leather dress that has a corset type design on the top part and it went down to the lady's mid-thigh, she also had high heel boots. the basic accessories. She wore a leather choker collar with a chain on the front that fell right in between her breasts and her blonde hair was tied up into a messy ponytail.
Setsu walks towards Cain who was just staring at her. Setsu flashes a smirk before walking past him and towards the black limo that was waiting for them. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back to face Cain.
"Setsu you're rather beautiful in that dress." Cain says looking down at his sister.
"Well you're free to look all you want Nii-san but we need to leave for the premiere." Setsu smirks again but still reflected no warmth in her eyes just like the night before.
Cain flashes the Emperor smile before walking with Setsu to the Limo but thinks to himself, "When did she learn to walk so elegantly especially in a tight short dress? She wasn't this good the last time she was Setsu…"
Cain helps Setsu into the limo as he watches her body move so perfectly in that leather dress. Once they both get into the limo it begins to move heading towards the premiere location.
Cain notices Setsu was sitting at the far end of the seat looking out the window and he groans, "Setsu why are you sitting so far from me…"
Setsu looks at Cain from the corner of her eye, "Because I want to…" She looks back out the window.
Cain wasn't liking that she talked back to him like that, he grabs her arm and pulls her right beside him. "Now that's better." He smirks as he puts his arm over her shoulders to stop Setsu from moving back towards the window.
All Setsu could hear for a moment was a cracking noise in her ears and it was like the sound of a lock opening. In her head she was thinking as her real self, "No way am I letting him open that box again…I've been hurt enough."
Cain looks down at Setsu and could tell she was thinking, so he couldn't help but kiss the top of her head. He felt her stiffen slightly under his arm knowing it did something to her. "Setsu after the Premiere I would like to have a talk with you alone."
Setsu stiffens when she felt the kiss on her head and then heard another crack in her ears, "STOP THAT! He is just playing with me…he can't love me…he's a playboy." She was thinking to herself until she heard Cain talk, Setsu sighs before speaking a word. "Fine Nii-san." She was planning in her head a way to get out of that meeting alone with him as she didn't want him cracking anymore locks that she worked a month to keep locked up very tight.

For the remainder of the ride it was silent until they arrive at the red carpet of the Tragic Marker premiere with fans screaming at the actors. The Limo comes to a stop and the door opens as Cain proceeds to exit but once out he turns to offer his hand to the girl that was still in the vehicle. Setsu accepts the hand, knowing that no matter what she was Cain's date for the night and she has to act like it.
Once out she is directed by Cain to hold onto his arm while walking beside him, she notices people staring at her and Cain but she didn't really care too much about what they thought. A few times for her own entertainment she would flash a smirk that would cause a few fans to scream and shake in fear. She stops when Cain gets stopped by a thin brunette lady with a tag on her dress stating that she was a reporter with the name 'Riku' printed on it. She often attended premieres to talk to celebrities and had her own talk show where she interviewed celebrities.
"Hey! You must be Heel-san the actor behind the killer in this movie." Riku says very perky.
Setsu looks away and rolls her eyes as Cain speaks, "Yes I am."
"I have a few questions for you before the interview later." Riku smiles, "First, is this your first time doing a movie here in Tokyo?" she asked still very perky that was annoying Setsu.
"Yes it is Riku-san…I was referred here by a friend." Cain says then noticing Setsu wasn't looking at him but looking at the other actors/actresses, he moves his arm that she was holding to get her attention back on him.
"Ok that's great, one last question before I'll let you go, who is this poison spider lily with you tonight?" Riku looks at Setsu who was giving her a cold glare that could make someone shiver.
"This poison spider lily is my little sister Setsu." He says looking down at her with a bone chilling smile.
"Oh! Everyone thought she was your girlfriend. Well that's all the questions for now… I'll see you in the interview later." Riku says with a wink to Cain.
Cain and Setsu continue to walk towards the building and just before entering Cain leans down and whispers to Setsu. "Try to act like you're enjoying yourself Setsu." She responds to Cain by sticking her tongue out at him.
ºøººøºøººøº
Throughout the whole movie, Cain and Setsu sat side by side and every time Cain would try to hold her hand she would flinch and move her hands away so he couldn't hold it, after about two tries he gave up and continued to watch his work, knowing it would be pointless to continue trying.
After the viewing there was the after party which all actors and their dates were welcomed but the interviews were going on so Setsu was told by Cain to sit and wait for him which she does as she was thinking about some things. Just then someone tapped her shoulder, she looked to see Murasame Taira behind her.
"Would you like something?" she said coldly.
"I just wanted to say you look very beautiful tonight Setsuka-san." Murasame says.
"Well thank you Murasame-san." Setsu says a little less cold
Murasame moves to stand in front of her, "May I sit with you? My interview is done."
Setsu looks away from Murasame, "You may do as you please."
Murasame sits beside Setsu and smiles at her as this was the first time she actually let him be close to her, "You want to know what I will miss the most after tonight is done?"
Setsu looks at him and thought she should humor him. "And what is that?"
Murasame smiles again, "Seeing your pretty face every day."
Setsu turns her head to cover any chance of a blush to appear on her cheeks from the compliment, "Well that's nice of you to say."
ºøººøºøººøº
Setsu and Murasame continued talking without any interruptions. Until one man comes out of the interview room to see Setsu talking with Murasame, it angered him with jealousy as he knew Setsu's character only saw Cain and only him but she was talking to the guy that had been trying advances on her since the first day of filming. Cain walks up behind where Setsu was seated. With his approach Murasame stopped talking.
"Setsu may I talk to you…Now." Cain says trying to hide the anger.
Setsu looks at Cain and sighs, "Fine Nii-san."
Right after she replied, Cain grabbed her wrist pretty tight and pulls her up off the couch and out of the room to a hallway where no one was.
Setsu was feeling some pain from his grip but she couldn't pull her arm away as it was too tight so she decided to get him to release by asking. "Cain…" She says but he didn't stop or reply so she tried again, "Cain." But it was the same as the first time but now the pain was getting to a point that could make her cry.
This time Setsu yells, "Cain!" But her voice relayed pain in her tone.
Cain finally heard Setsu and stopped walking and turns to her, "What Setsu?"
Setsu looks at him in the verge of tears "Nii-san, you're hurting me."
Cain realized what he had done and let's go but pulls her into his embrace, "I'm sorry Setsu, I didn't mean to hurt you." He whispers into her ear with a very sincere tone.
Setsu heard another cracking sound in her ears from his hug and the whisper in her ear. She began to cry just a little but couldn't stay there anymore or she may end up in more pain. "Nii-san, if you would excuse me I need to go fix my makeup." She says knowing her makeup will still be fine.
Cain lets go and nods to his sister, "Don't take long Setsu, I'll be waiting in the grand ballroom for you." He says.
Setsu nods, "Ok Nii-chan." As they walked out of the hallway she was deep in thought as she was planning her escape so Cain wouldn't see her leave. She wanted to protect her heart and seal up the few locks that cracked open.
