Twisted
Summary: Risa is a top model working on her hot new drama series. Riku is her own sister's manager and looking for the right guy to play Risa's lover. Dark and Daisuke are just regular people. But with a twist of Fate, their emotions are put to the test.
Scene Two: The Life of a Star
"No! Please, don't! I thought you loved me, I thought we had something!"
Daisuke watched as the wonderful actress moved and acted to the scene on the television. He was so amazed by any simple action she did; he was absolutely absorbed into the drama series.
"What is so good about this junk? It's all the same to me."
Daisuke tossed a pillow at Dark and kept his eyes glued to the show.
"Takashi, I love you!"
Dark rolled his eyes at his cousin and said under his breath, "I had no idea that you were such a pansy."
"SHUT UP, DARK!"
The huge grandfather clock struck ten at night. The bells chiming of the bells rang throughout the manor, echoing in every room and hallway.
"Risa!"
Riku knocked on the door as hard as she could. She waited a few moments before knocking again.
"Risa open the door!"
Riku stood there, her temper rising. She tugged on her night shirt to refrain from letting go and busting the door down. Almost quite suddenly, the door slowly opened.
"Risa?" She looked in the ajar door and saw no one. She only heard the soft tune of Risa's jewelry box.
Slowly, but surely, Risa came out from her room, her night gown swinging behind her. "Oh, Riku! I am so much in love!" She spoke as if she was in dream land…
Riku took a step back and managed to blurt out, "Again? Who did you fall in love with this time?"
"Riku, Riku, Riku! I know I have claimed to be in love so many times, but now it is for real! It was pure love at first sight!"
Riku sighed. How many times has she heard that one?
Risa smiled and danced around in her bedroom, humming a small melody in the process. Riku jumped pass her sister and flopped down on the huge, fluffy, pink bed. This was too much for her…she was already stressed out because of the auditions, but now her Risa is in love again. Riku's life just seems to get more and more complicated.
Risa lay down next to Riku and smiled. Sure, she has been in love so many times, but this time she knew it was real. It was only for a brief moment that she was able to talk to him, but that moment was one to remember. He captured her in that one glance, and she was not able to think about anyone but him since then.
Oh! He was just so simply…gorgeous. The shine of his luscious locks, it was so…sexy. His piercing eyes, both of them looked bored and wonderfully…enticing. He was just a dream come true, her dream come true! Love is simply wonderful…
"Oh Risa, I love you."
"I love you too…"
Come to think about it, she forgot to ask for his name!
"Risa, stays with me always…do not leave my side…"
"Of course (insert name here)! I would never think about leaving you!"
"Oh, Risa!" His eyes sparkled…showing nothing but pure love…
"Risa, you're drooling."
Risa snapped back into reality. She pouted at the fact that she was awakened from her wonderful fantasy about the hot guy she saw earlier.
"Riku! I was having a great dream!"
"Yeah, another one of your random fantasies about some random guy!"
"But I swear the guy was really sexy!"
"Sure…"
"Riku!"
Dark groaned at the sound of a very annoying alarm clock. He was already groaning because of the annoying sun that was shining through his window. The alarm clock beeped louder and louder, trying to wake up everyone in the Niwa Household.
"DAISUKE! TURN YOUR STUPID ALARM CLOCK OFF!"
Daisuke came into the guest room and said, "But Dark, how could you hear it? It's in my room…"
"It's so freaking loud…who couldn't hear it?" Dark placed the pillow over his head and tried his very best to sleep some more.
Daisuke suppressed his laughter. He knew that his lazy cousin wouldn't wake up until way later, so he rigged his alarm clock to beep every thirty minutes, but it would not stop beeping for twenty-seven minutes of that thirty, until the time reached 12:51. Once it reached that, the clock will beep even louder than ever, nonstop.
Daisuke made his way to the kitchen, where his grandfather was having his mid-morning-almost-afternoon-but-not-really-afternoon-nor-morning coffee and watching the news.
That's right Bob, there was another break-in last night at the World Art Museum and the famous statue, 'The Whisper of Memory' was stolen.
Officials say…
"Bah, another robbery again…the guy must have a huge collection of artwork at his place…" His grandfather then changed the channel.
"Grandpa, later on Dark and I will be heading out later…like around four-ish."
All Daisuke got was a nod in reply.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"DAISUKE!"
This time, Daisuke did not even bother to hide the laughter.
Riku walked frantically from her room to the bathroom and back. She was already late as it was…and the time it took her to get ready was wasting more time. She brushed her hair and applied a thin layer of mascara at the same time. She slipped on her heels and buttoned her blouse at the same time.
Riku rushed to the garage and went into the limo's back seat as the driver then pulled out into the driveway.
Riku dialed a familiar number on her cellular phone and a man's voice rang out.
"Hey boss! Yeah, I'm on my way…give me at least twenty minutes. … … No. … … I understand. I was running late this morning. … … Sure. I was hoping that too…Alright then. Bye."
She tossed her phone back into her bag and prayed that the boys were patient.
Riku sat on the comfortable chair, leaning on the lovely table. She sipped her Coke calmly while maintaining her attention to the young man in front of her. The camera man kept his focus on him while he recited and acted out a small scene.
Riku sighed. Today of all days had to be 'call-back' day for those Risa thought suitable. She believed that they had "potential" as actors. As for Riku, they all sucked.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Moriyama," said Riku who was now leafing through the auditionee's papers.
"Please, call me Saitoh."
"Anyways, you did pretty well the first day, but today, I'm just not feeling you at all. Thank you for dropping by, though." Riku smiled and shook his hand.
She watched as he slowly walked out the door. Out of the hundreds of applicants, only twenty-three made it to call-backs. Out of the twenty-three, only five still made an impression and had the chance to act out a dramatic scene with Risa.
The camera man gave Riku the tape as he and his crew packed up all the gear. She said a quick thank you and headed out the door. To be completely honest, she hated the whole idea of looking for a fresh new face. It was too much of a hassle, and it wasted so much time. Then again, she manages the time, so it was harder on her.
Riku walked to the limo and told the driver to take her home.
Daisuke groaned and tried yet again to pull Dark off the sofa. "GET UP!"
Dark sighed, "You can't make me. I don't want to."
"But Miss Harada asked as too meet her!"
"Not us, she asked you to see her."
"You have to come with me!"
Dark smirked. "Why? Is little ole Daisuke too scared to go to a girl's house?"
Daisuke flushed and muttered, "No, I don't even want to take you but my mom is making
me."
"Fine. This Riku girl is pretty hot to anyways…might as well go over and say…hello…he he." Dark smiled, running his hand through his hair.
"Dark!"
Risa smiled at the camera as the flashes momentarily blinded her. She was used to the lights.
The fan's great wind blew through her hair, making the crew swoon even more as she gave another seductive smile.
She posed once again for the camera and again and again.
"Keep it going Risa! You're on fire! The camera loves you, baby! It loves you!" The photographer said, clicking away.
Risa loves being an actress, but being a model rocks! She loves the camera, she loves the limelight!
"Risa, this one is for the cover! Give it your all!"
Risa smiled. "Anything for the cover!"
I love my job!
Daisuke checked his watch. 4:52 pm…I wonder if we are too early?
Dark stood next to Daisuke, his bored eyes hidden behind his very flashy yet fitting sun glasses.
"Are you ever going to ring the stupid doorbell?"
Daisuke frowned. "Yeah…"
"I still don't get it! All the way here just for a proper thank you. This damn house is on the other side of town! It sticks out like a sore thumb." Dark said, complaining.
"You shouldn't be talking." Daisuke retorted, motioning towards his clothes.
Dark smirked. He wore black, baggy, faded out jeans and a white muscle shirt. His sunglasses just made the outfit scream, "I'm too hot to be here!"
"So, at least I have a sense of style."
"Shut up, Dark." Daisuke steadily said. He then finally pushed the doorbell of the huge house and waited.
And waited…and waited…and waited…
"Maybe they're not in?" Dark said, half hoping what he said.
Just after he said that, a man wearing a suit similar to what butlers wear opened the door and said, "Yes. How may I help you?"
"Um, I'm here to see…um…Miss Riku Harada…?" Daisuke said, making his statement sound more like a question.
The butler then said, "Yes. Please follow me."
Daisuke followed him, and was amazed at the hugeness of the mansion. It was so simple and elegant yet…very mansion like.
"Your name please?"
Daisuke, his eyes glued to the mural painted unto the ceiling, "Daisuke Niwa…"
Dark watched as the butler left the very huge living room. He himself was amazed at the house, but being Dark, he made himself comfortable by sitting on the white sofa and placing his feet atop the marble coffee table. He took off his sunglasses and looked around the house some more. It was indeed very huge and much decorated…he liked it. Dark could get used to a house like this…if only there were some hot babes around…
"Daisuke Niwa!" A teenager walked into the room, her skirt rustling as she moved. "Thank you for coming! Hope it was no problem at all coming here."
Speak of the devil, Dark thought as the lovely young lady walked into the room. She wore a very golden colored skirt and a creamy light colored tank top. Man, I love the summer season!
Daisuke stood up to greet her and said, "No, it was no trouble at all."
"Oh, I'm glad; usually my guests have a hard time finding this place! So, Daisuke – is it alright that I call you by your first name? – how old are you?"
"Um…sixteen." Daisuke smiled at her.
"Cool! So am I!" She said, smiling back. KYAH! I just want to scream! He is so cute!
"But, aren't you a little young to be a manager for someone like an actor, Miss Harada?"
"No, the actress I 'manage' happens to be my age as well…she is my sister after all and our parents wouldn't allow her to continue her job at age thirteen not unless I became the manager for her and stuff. And please, call me Riku!"
Daisuke nodded and said, "That's pretty awesome."
"It sure is! Even if I am not a celebrity, I'm living the life of one!"
Daisuke laughed along with her. Her laugh was soft and had a float feeling to it, it was very contagious. Daisuke made himself remember the sound of Riku's laugh.
"Well, I just want to thank you again for helping with that pervert." Riku smiled as she said this, her cheeks getting red.
Daisuke smiled back, "It was nothing, and my cousin can be a jerk sometimes!" Is she blushing?
Riku chuckled and sat down on the sofa, just to realize that she was sitting next to the very pervert she was talking about…
Sure, Dark was sitting there at the sofa that was set in the very room that Riku stepped into. Yeah, he was being ignored by both his cousin and the sexy girl he has had his eyes on. And did he mind? Well yeah, of course Dark minded! He was being ignored. That was very new to him.
Then Riku started talking about him. Finally, some attention! But, she and his cousin were both dissing him, and he was right there in the same room! Talk about unfair.
"Hey sweetheart, I know how much you love me, but could you please not sit on my sunglasses." Dark said, giving her one of his pretty boy smiles.
Riku stared at him, then she looked at the sofa and the sunglasses, and then she looked back at Dark before screaming louder than she ever could.
"KYAH! PERVERT!"
Slap!
Yep, life to Dark was pretty much unfair.
Risa quickly opened the door of the white limo, slamming it shut and rushed to the front door of her home. She could not wait to tell Riku that she made the front cover of Sweet Fashion Magazine! It was so exciting!
Risa took of her sweet new heels and placed her bag at the base of the huge flowering plant. She opened the double doors and said, with a huge grin on her face, "Riku! Guess what happened!"
She stopped herself short. In her very living room, she saw her sister and two other visitors. One was a red-haired boy around her own age, sitting there with a huge sweat drop expression, and the other…
"OH MY GOD! IT'S YOU!"
Risa stood there, her mouth practically to the floor, pointing at the young man she has fallen in love with who was now rubbing his face.
He turned to her and gave a seductive smile, "Hey there."
Risa took deep, deep, deep breaths before looking into his eyes and replying, "Hey."
Riku eyes went from her very red sister, to the very suave Dark, to the very speechless Daisuke, and then back to the very red Risa.
Daisuke, on the other hand, was very shocked to see the object of his admiration and infatuation…
"R-R-Risa Harada!" He said, going the same color as Risa.
Riku cleared her throat and said, "Um, this is my sister – you probably already know her – Risa."
Risa, taking her eyes of Dark, said with a cheery smile and a friendly wave, "Hello!"
