LME the president's office
"So, I see that the rest of your vacation went well," said Lory to Kyoko
"Yes, it was good to catch up with my aunt and uncle, though I was surprised by the new job opportunity, but I am glad I accepted it," replied Kyoko.
"It is good to know that you will be accepting this new modelling gig. I have been informed by your aunt and the president of Rmandy about the collaboration between Julieanna Hizuri designs and Rmandy. I thought you would not want to get back into modelling after what happened to Athena. Now I am wondering why now after all this time?" inquired Lory.
"Well I realized modelling had nothing to do what happened to Athena. Besides I think she would want me to move on and continue with something I do still love," replied Kyoko.
Lory was satisfied with that answer, so he continued to discuss in greater detail the modeling gig with both Kyoko and her manager. As their meeting ended, he bade the young actress and her manager a farewell. His thoughts then went to his nephew and how Ren would handle working a former supermodel. Lory did not have the heart to tell his nephew that he would be working with one of the best models in the industry though he hoped his nephew would ask more questions regarding this latest project but however Ren refused to ask any questions. Then his thoughts turned to the current project that his nephew and Kyoko were in wondering how she would fare facing the one person who had destroyed one of her best friends irrevocably.
The next day on set
Cain and Setsu heel were back on set at Assassins Oath with the rest of the cast but today was also the day they were doing scenes with extra's which included the younger Takara daughters.
"Ni -san look newcomers, I wonder which scenes they will be in with us?" pondered Setsu
Cain however gave her his usual grunt in response however Kaede seemed to think that Cain and Setsu were acting unusual even for the heel siblings.
Setsu could feel Kaede watching her and her dear brother as well when they were shooting their scenes. When suddenly one of the other cast members came up to Setsu.
"So, you will be the girl that gets to hunt me and eventually kill me before pretty scary dude over there will," said Fuwa Sho.
However, to Setsu hearing his voice brought up a night she wished she could forget but so as to not let it show she replied, "so what if I am and don't go dissing my brother like that he is way better actor than you'll ever be wannabe actor. Oh, I know who you are you're that stuck up musician who thinks he's gods gift to women everywhere." With that Setsu strode away from him towards Cain and Kaede.
Kanae who had watched the interaction between her sister and Sho wondered why her sister acted the way she did. Kanae would have to wait until she get her dear sister on her own.
Cain was not to pleased with Sho's appearance as well though he really did not pay attention to the cast list when he accepted this role. Though he was happy to see that his sister stood up for her self and shot Sho down. Though he was curious as to how his sister knew Sho.
Director Konoe saw everything that occurred between Setsu and Sho then what happened afterwards that he was wondering if he should inform Lory Takarada about this latest development. It seemed to director Konoe that there was a connection between the Cain & Setsu and Fuwa Sho he just wasn't sure how they were connected. "That's a wrap for the day hope to see everyone in a couple days," said director Konoe.
Setsu was happy to leave the set with her beloved brother and cousin Kaede she sure as hell didn't want to stay at the studio another moment when he was there.
Later at the Takara mansion
"What was that on the set today with you and the prick of a musician?" asked Kanae.
"It was nothing," replied Kyoko
"It sure as hell didn't look like nothing to us?" asked Chiori.
"It was okay, can you please drop it for now," replied Kyoko.
Kanae and Chiori were taken aback by how defensive Kyoko was but decided to let the matter drop for now. Though they both looked at each other worriedly and then looked at Yuka and Mimori they too were surprised by their older sister's outburst. Kyoko left her sisters to ponder what was going on with her as she went up to her room where she decided to have video call with her aunt and uncle to let them know what had happened.
While Kyoko was talking with her aunt and uncle about the latest development, Ren returned home to his sister. As soon as he entered the apartment Maria noticed right away something was amiss with her brother.
"Ren what happened?"
"While I was on set today as you know uncle has me acting as Cain acting as another character. I saw Fuwa Sho. He is apparently part of the cast for this movie I am acting in against Kyoko. It seems she knows him, and I hate feeling jealous even though she rebuked him, I have to wonder how she knows him," replied Ren.
"Why does Fuwa Sho always have to cause trouble. Wait who's Kyoko?" inquired Maria.
"You remember Mio from dark moon well the actress who portrayed her is named Kyoko. I have also worked with her as Cain heel to her Setsuka heel for Tragic Marker," replied Ren.
"Oh, I love how she portrayed Mio and I also love her on Box R not to mention Bridge Rock. She does well as the mascot for bridge rock."
"You mean to tell me that Kyoko plays the mascot for bridge rock named Bo," asked Ren.
"Yeah what about it." Asked Maria.
Ren then went on to tell Maria that he had some trouble with one of his scenes not long after bridge rock first aired when Bo the mascot helped him understand a word in the scene, he had trouble with. Then Bo helped him again when he struggled to find his version of Katsuki for dark moon.
"Oh, I remember you had asked Kyoko to come over to help you find your Katsuki because you asked uncle if I could spend that night over at his place. Don't tell me you had inadvertently confessed to Kyoko that you liked he," said Maria.
Ren blushed and told Maria that he had done so when she was in disguise, so he had no idea that she knew he was in love with a girl that happened to be her.
"So back to Fuwa Sho who's his character in this movie where you act as Kuon," asked Maria.
Ren replied, "he's the target my character is supposed to kill however Kyoko's character is also after his character as well so both her and I are fighting for a chance to capture his character and kill him."
"I hate that you have to work with him after everything he did to us. Please don't do anything reckless brother I don't want you to ruin your reputation as an actor."
"I won't besides he will only ever see me as Cain heel when we are on set together."
As the Tsuruga siblings turned in for the night the president Lory was listening to director Konoe's report about what had happened on set that day.
"So, you are saying Setsu actually reacted to Fuwa Sho when he went to introduce himself to her."
"Yes, she did though it seemed to not only catch the attention of Cain but some of the other members of the cast as well. Her response to Sho startled me as far as I knew she has never worked with him before," said Konoe.
"It seems Kyoko has not been totally forthcoming with me about how she knows Sho I'll have to speak with her about the matter. Thankyou Konoe for your report I will have to ponder about this new information."
Lory was wondering why Kyoko had never mentioned Sho before when his aid came up to him and said, "It seems that Takara san may know Sho because of what happened to Athena Sir."
"If that is so, then why did she not say something before she started this project."
Ruto had no idea how to respond to that but decided to leave Lory alone with his thoughts.
