Two days later Kyoko received the news of her newest project. "So my character's name is Hironaka Midori and I have been trained as an assassin since I was old enough to walk but I only specialize in killing those who are considered creepy perverts," asked Kyoko of her manager Yuri.
Yuri replied "yes that is it exactly though your stage name for this movie will be Setsuka Heel as director as already told you he wants to keep the mystery of you and Ren acting as the leads. Though I will worry relentlessly about this as once again you and Ren will be in close proximity of being supposedly incestuous siblings. As this is your newest job aside from Box-R you will be beginning this project immediately. Also I should warn you one of the victims will be played by your sister Kanae. She has no idea you will be part of this project."
"She might as she knows that I was Setsu Heel Cains sister who was translator/manager which I will be doing again. Though I did not exactly tell her I was reprising my role of Setsu Heel."
"Well we better get going we will have to meet up with Jelly Woods to get you back into character though this time you will not have to act as Cain's Manager as that will be up to me and Yashiro, the president has asked one of us to be with you and Cain at all times during this project today it will be me and don't worry both me and Yashiro will be under cover as well so no one will recognize us." So Yuri drove herself and her charge to LME. As soon as they arrived they headed directly to the president's office as he was expecting them. Once there Yuri knocked and after a minute they were told to enter. Ren and Yashiro were already there and Lory gestured that they should take their seats. Once Kyoko and Yuri were seated on a couch opposite of Ren and Yashiro. The president had a few words to say to the stars and their manager's.
"As director Konoe has indicated Takara san and Tsuraga san you are to reprise your roles as the heel siblings however Kyoko you will no longer have to act as the manager to your beloved brother as that position will either be held by either Yuri or Yashiro. Ren I do not believe you are aware that Kyoko's older sister Kanae will be part of the cast as well she plays one of the victims of the target that you and Kyoko are supposed to kill. I also want you to know that this is very important that both of you tell no one of this project in great detail. Kyoko if your family asks just tell them you are under contract which you are and cannot tell them anything not even your sister Kanae even though she is part of the project too."
"Understood sir," replied Kyoko.
Ren was intrigued that not only would he get to work alongside Kyoko again he would also get to see her sister in action and he slyly looked at his manager when the president mentioned her and Yashiro seemed unfazed by this news though he was freaking out on the inside for when he would be with the Heel siblings he may get a chance to see Kanae. Lory caught everything that when on among the two stars and the managers and decided it was time for them to prepare for the cast meeting. "All right that's get Kyoko, Ren and Yuri to Ms. Woods so you guys could get into character. Yashiro will you be working on coordinating your charges schedule.,"
Yashiro replied that he was going to do just that so he bid the actors and Yuri goodbye while the rest met up with Jelly Woods.
"It so good working with you again Woods san I really miss being Setsu," said Kyoko.
Ten said "I wish you and Ren would call me Ten instead of what you normally do but yes I am glad to be working with you and Ren again."
So she transformed Kyoko into Setsuka Heel and Ren into Cain Heel, though Yuri was transformed into their cousin Akira Heel. Once done both Kyoko and Ren were in character and to their surprise so was Yuri. "Ni san I am so excited about this opportunity I get to act against you wont this be fun," said Setsu. Cain just grunted and Akira insisted that should get going or they were going to be late so the Heels bade goodbye to the president and Jelly Woods and went to the studio were the movie Assassins Oath was being filmed.
"Akira why do me and Ni san have to have you with us I could just as easily manage the both of us,"
"Setsuka your parents want you and Cain to focus all your energies into your characters for this movie so they asked me to keep and eye on you two." Setsu sighed though she continued to stay close to her beloved brother when they entered the studio. Most of the cast was already there and they were wary of Setsu and Cain as once again they had that aura of being unapproachable around them again
"Heel san, Setsuka san good to see you again and this must be your cousin Akira san who will be acting as your manager when her brother Kaede is not with you?" Asked Director Konoe.
"Yes Akira will be with us when Kaede can't and Kaede will be with us when Akira is unable to accompany us," Setsu replied. Cain gazed lovingly at his sister and nodded to director Konoe that what she said was true. Director Konoe just simply nodded and led the heels to the stage where the rest of the cast was. Kanae took a look at the heel siblings and new instantly that Setsu was her sister but what she didn't under stand was why Kyoko told her she was reprising her role as Setsuka Heel she was not sure about the other member of the heel group but she suspected it could be her sister's manager though she was unsure. Kanae also noticed that Ericka Yashiro was here playing another victim of the one who the two leads were supposed to kill. Ericka also remembered Kanae Takara from the awards ceremony and how her brother could not take his eyes off of her. She was hoping to see Ren here and to get to work with him but she was away working on a photo shoot in Paris when it was revealed at the Tragic Marker press conference that Ren was Cain Heel and Kyoko Takara was Setsuka Heel so when the Heel siblings entered the studio with Akira and the director Ericka did not pay attention. What Setsu and Kanae did not expect was that their actual cousin Hidehito Kijima was also part of the cast and so was Itsumi.
"Okay everyone as most of you were already aware of the plot of this movie however I did not tell most of you who would be playing the leads. Setsu and Cain Heel will be playing Midori and Kuon Hironaka yes their characters have the same last name however according to the script they are not related in any way. Since everyone is here I would like to inform you all we will be Filming here in Japan but we will also be filming in America specifically in Los Angeles. So let's do the read through then hopefully we will be able start filming tomorrow," said director Konoe. So everyone sat down at the table that was laid out on the stage and the entire cast ran through the script. Once the read through was done the Heels left to head to hotel where they would be staying for their duration of the filming while in Japan.
"Ni san how much longer are you going to be in the shower. Akira wants to talk to us with out the disguise."
"I am just about finished I will be out soon," replied Cain. Though he had switched back to Ren and was struggling being around Kyoko again as the Heel siblings. He knew that his uncle only paired him up with Kyoko so he wouldn't go crazy when acting out BJ but why did he have to be around her again for this project. He hoped his uncle had not figured out that he cares about Kyoko and this project was about to make it worse. This was going to feel like torture for him but he really want to sleep with Kyoko again in the true sense of the word. He quickly finished up in the bathroom and exited into the hotel suite.
"So Yuri why are you and Yashiro with us when we are on this project," asked Ren as he left the bathroom and joined Kyoko in the living room part of the suite.
"Well the president wanted to make sure nothing untoward happens between you two while on this project unless in the script nothing else," replied Yuri.
So as the three have them discussed the schedule for the next two days as Kyoko had to be on set for Box-R in three days time. They called it quits for the night as Yuri left the suite to go to her room she left Ren and Kyoko to themselves.
"So the president thinks there is something going on between us,"asked Kyoko.
"My uncle may have this weird suspicion when it comes to love, he may think I might have feelings for you," replied Ren.
"Well that is a bit absurd considering you and I do not always work together often. Though the last time we did the heel siblings we almost well you know," said Kyoko.
"Yeah that was well interesting to say the least. So I noticed my manager was interested in your sister Kanae at the awards ceremony do you think they may like each other?"inquired Ren.
"My older sister is very private and does not often share her thoughts with me though I did notice his sister at the cast meet this morning she seemed to be looking for you it seems. I think she wants to be more than friends with you," said Kyoko.
Ren told her flat out that he did not care for Ericka that way though he hoped Yukihito would eventually find someone to love so he could stop interfering with his love life.
"Wait your manager does that too. Yuri is always wondering if I have someone that I care about but I keep telling her that I don't for I do not want to hurt the one I truly love for I don't like to cause anyone pain," said Kyoko
Ren was shocked and had to ask "why do you say that you cannot have anyone precious to love?"
Kyoko replied "I did something horrible when I was younger and I really don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's eat and then we should get some rest. Oh you should know Kanae, and my other sisters do not know about my past indiscretion so don't mention this talk to any of them."
Ren was shocked by the abrupt change in Kyoko but decided not to question her further so he decided to go with the flow and while they ate their dinner they discussed the movie and as they both got ready for bed. Ren fell asleep instantly but Kyoko on the other hand could not get to sleep as she reminisced about the night she lost her dear friend Athena.
She and Athena were talking about not only their next modelling assignment with Rmandy but the latest incident Athena. "Why have the cops not found the guy that sexually assaulted you," "The cops say that they have not been able to find the perp but it has to be someone in the industry, though I hate this I feel so disgusted and ashamed." "It's not your fault Athena the guy drugged you and did the unthinkable to you. You should not be ashamed I thought your counselling was helping." "The counselling is not helping I feel like hurting myself but I don't think I can do it." "Please don't hurt yourself you are one of my best friends and I would hate to lose you. That guy that did this to you should pay, are you afraid you may have gotten pregnant?" "I went to the doctor and I did not conceive from this unfortunate incident thank god but I still hate myself." Two days later Kyoko went to check on Athena in her dressing room at LME when she entered she found Athena on the floor unconscious, Kyoko called the president then 911 but by the time the paramedics came and took Athena to the nearest hospital which also catered to protecting the famous followed by Kyoko and the President. They were told by the doctors that there was nothing they could have done to save Athena as she had overdosed on her anti-depressant drugs. The president drove Kyoko to his mansion and notified her family that she was okay. "So tell me why would your friend do this," asked Lory. Kyoko told him what may a have driven Athena to do what she did. "I was trying to help her get through this but I know she was so depressed over the incident that I guess she had to do this. But I lost one of my most dearest best friends. I don't think I can continue modelling for Rmandy not without her." The president let her spend the night then sent Kyoko home to recover for the next week. During that time and even now and then Kyoko had nightmares but would not talk to anyone about it not even her sister Kanae.
Kyoko must have fallen asleep after her harrowing reminiscing for she was dreaming when she woke up screaming. Ren was also startled awake by the screaming that he quickly rushed over to her bed "Setsu what's wrong?" As he sat on her bed and hugged her. "Ni san make it stop please make it stop. I don't want to remember please make me forget please." Ren knew something was bothering her maybe he figured it had to do with what they were talking about earlier but he couldn't be to sure as she trembled in his arms. He decided to call Yuri but first he had to get Kyoko to agree. "Setsu maybe we should talk to Akira about going back and talking to the boss." "Why Ni san it was only a nightmare I just needed be comforted by you which you have done marvellously by the way." "I just think maybe you are not up to doing the scenes we have to shoot tomorrow or should I say later today, maybe its for the best for you to take a break Setsu please for me," Cain had turned on the puppy eyed look towards his beloved sister. Setsu didn't want to give in to her brother so she decided to take matters into her own hands by deciding to kiss her beloved brother on the lips, Cain was taken by surprise but he quickly returned the kiss with full force as he felt his sister sigh with pleasure as she willing opened her mouth he took possession, they continued have a taste of each other with their tongues entangling until they had to take a breather. "Setsu that was a dirty trick and as much as I enjoyed it you need to not be on set today, so I am going to get Akira and bring her back and we are going to come with a plan for today for a I am really worried about you." Setsu pouted as her brother got up off the bed and went to get Akira. Once Cain left Setsu quickly left Kyoko and she had to do her best to calm down she couldn't believe that she did what she did when Ren came to her to comfort her in character she had to respond but she was still a bit of herself and not quite fully Setsu when she responded and then that kiss, she still couldn't believe it though she didn't remember kissing him quite like that before when they had to be the heel siblings. Her heart was still beating irregularly when she heard her brother come back she quickly became Setsu again as Cain reentered their room with Akira. "Cain tells me you are not feeling to well Setsu care to elaborate." "I had a nightmare and woke Ni san he had to comfort me but he feels I shouldn't be on set today. I want to work with my dear Ni san I am feeling much better." Akira looked at Setsu and got the impression there was more to the story so she asked "Cain can you go and find us some breakfast while I talk to our dear Setsu." Cain did as asked though he felt there was secrets between Setsu and Akira or more precisely Kyoko and Yuri and he was being left out of the loop for some reason he hoped did not have to do with the conversation he and Kyoko had before dinner last night. Once Cain had left Yuri asked Kyoko "What happened to make you have a nightmare that has got Ren so worried that he suggested you not got to the set today?" "We were talking last night and I let slip that I couldn't have any love ones to close to me because of what happened to Athena. I couldn't sleep because I was remembering what happened but I must have fallen asleep and then had the nightmare." "Well now I can see why Ren is concerned are you sure you can act today?" "I do not really know if I can but I want to not have Ren worry anymore." "Well we will go to set and if you don't feel up to it I can call Yashiro and get him to take over while I get you home to recover sound like a plan?" "Yes though I think the president will need to know that Ren is curious about me." Yuri agreed so when Ren returned with breakfast the three of them ate and discussed the plan for the day. Ren was not to pleased that Kyoko wanted to continue with going to the set but he had no choice as he was outnumbered. Once they finished breakfast Yuri went back to her room to get ready and Ren and Kyoko did the same. Once all three were ready they met down in the lobby and headed to the studio. The ride to the studio was quiet as all three of the occupants had a lot on their minds. Once they arrived at the studio Setsu realized she was in no fit state to do what she needed to do Akira recognized this so she went to find director Konoe and inform him of the situation. "Director Konoe we need to talk," said Akira."Akira san is there something the matter," inquired Konoe. Akira just told him that he needed to come with her to talk to the heel siblings. He agreed so he followed Akira to the dressing room where she left Setsu and Cain. Once there Setsu explained to Konoe that she did not have a good night and would be no good to everyone on set today. "I'll will stay until my cousin Kaede can come and look after my beloved Ni san then me and Akira will not be back hopefully be back tomorrow if not you will be informed." "Setsu if you are not feeling well do what you need to do I will inform the rest of the cast and crew the plan for today, you take of yourself Setsu," replied Konoe. Cain had to go make up so he did not know that his sister would not be with him on set today till he came back to the dressing room "Setsu why are you not in costume or make up for that matter?" "I realized you were right Ni san I just can't act today no matter what, Akira had already updated Kaede and he will be here soon to look after you and don't worry Akira will look after me hopefully I will be back tomorrow." Cain accepted what Setsu said so he continued to get ready for today. Then Akira took the two of them to the set where Cain had to do a scene as Kuon it had to be one of the earlier one's before he met Midori. When Kaede arrived he quickly spotted Setsu and Akira he could also see Cain on set acting as Kuon, he approached Setsu and Akira with care. "So Setsu boss told me you are not feeling well, what happened?" "Kaede I had a nightmare and Cain became very overprotective as usual but in this case he was right so since you're here Akira and I will go say goodbye to Ni san for me." And with that Setsu and Akira left the studio. Instead of driving Kyoko home they went to LME to speak with the president. Once they arrived they were told the president was expecting them so they headed up the Lory's office.
"So Setsu what is the reason you are here instead of being on the set of Assassins Oath? Akira would not say when I spoke with her." Kyoko then explained that last night after Yuri had retired to her room in the hotel they were staying as part of the assignment her and Ren were talking and she let slip something related to what happened to Athena."Sir Ren is curious as to why I don't get to close to most people including my family. I hate keeping this secret from them. I found out from the detective that was assigned to the case after her death they found out who hurt her but he was to high profile and that they couldn't charge him." "Well l understand why you chose not be with Ren today on set however I cannot divulge your secret to Ren unless you want me to. Have you tried to talk to your family about what happened six years ago because I know that you can't keep this bottled up. I know your sisters are curious except maybe your younger sister Mimori as she belongs to a different agency," asked a curious president. "Well I have actually talked to my aunt and uncle about it as they were both concerned when I decided to stop modelling altogether. They completely understand but I am still not ready to tell my sisters though my parents know. If Ren asks about my past you can tell him it's okay with me but just tell him the basics not the full sordid story," replied Kyoko. The President agreed to her request and suggested that she go home and rest. "Sir I will not be returning to the set tomorrow I think I have something more important to do tomorrow. Can you let Kaede know the change of plans." "I will do that and good luck." With that Kyoko and Yuri left the presidents office and left LME, Yuri drove Kyoko to her home on the outskirts of Tokyo. "Will you be okay I mean your parents are at work as are your sisters are you sure you will be fine on your own," inquired Yuri. Kyoko replied "I'll be fine though I am glad you are concerned about me thanks for everything. I'll see you in a couple of days." Yuri agreed and then drove back to her place to do work.
