Chapter 3: Kyoko is the angel

Sho's P.O.V

I stared at the TV in shock, my hands shaking. There, on the screen was Kyoko, who had just recently played in a romance drama as a protagonist with the male protagonist being my rival, Ren Tsuruga.

I felt his knees give in from under me and I ended up at the floor, still staring at the screen in disbelief. When the kiss scene came, tears gathered in my eyes. I furiously wiped them off, telling myself that I had no right to cry. I hurt Kyoko much more than this.

Shakily standing up, I went to Shouko, my manager, and told her to call LME's president and request Kyoko Mogami to act as an angel in my PV. Hanging up, I returned to my couch. I felt my heart skip in excitement yet clench in pain at the same time. I would finally see Kyoko again, but she also (apparently) has found someone else.

Clenching my fist, I shook my head. "You knew this wouldn't be easy Shoutarou." I whispered to myself. Closing my eyes, I started imagining Kyoko's warm smile, her hugs, her smile, her eyes… Before noticing, sleep took me to a land filled with the memories I had from my fiancé.

Shouko's P.O.V

I put my cellphone in my back and sighed. Sho has been really down these last few days, however, only at the mention of the girl he loves, he perks up.

Looking at the building in front of me, I sigh again. Why did I have to choose such a troublesome boy to manage? LME's president was crazy, and now I had to talk to him because Kyoko was in his agency and if I didn't manage to persuade her to play the angel, Sho would be mad and devastated.

Taking a deep breath, I entered the building and asked to meet president Takarada for a job interview about one of the recently debuted actors. The receptionist called the president. "President Takarada? There's someone here to see you to schedule an interview with one of the newly debuted actors. Shall I send her up?" The smile the receptionist had on her face never faltered and I admired her for being able to deal with the president. "I understand. I will escort her right away."

Hanging up, she looked at me, her smile unfaltering. "This way please." She said and led me to an office that was clearly created for meetings. Leaving me there after I refused the refreshment, I waited slightly impatiently for the president to show up. Finally, after ten minutes, he appeared, looking a bit flustered and quite a bit more serious than usual.

"I apologize -Shouko – san isn't it- for the delay. One of my actors decided to have a bit of a temper tantrum because her role was taken by a newbie. Like it's my fault she was arrogant enough to believe that she wouldn't be replaced when she refused to do her job properly." The last was muttered and I stifled a laugh. If this is what he has to deal with daily, no wonder he acted crazy the rest of the time, it was probably stress relief.

I opened my mouth to wave the apology aside, but I didn't manage to utter a word before the door opened and the actress I was here for appeared with a girl. "I apologize director for interrupting, but Maria – chan wanted to see you immediately." A tone of exasperation colored the president's voice now. "What happened this time?" Kyoko smiled at him and shook her head to show it wasn't anything serious. "She just missed you sir and was kicking up a fuss. I am sure that if you allowed her to sit in on the meeting she would stay silent and as an added bonus, no one would interrupt."

The 'because they are afraid of her temper tantrums' went unsaid, but the president just sighed and waved Kyoko and the girl -Maria- inside. "You might sit as well Kyoko – chan. Now Shouko – san, you came here for a job interview for one of my actors?"

I nodded my head, wondering just how he can focus on the matter at hand while also having a girl playing in his arms. "Yes, about Kyoko – san in fact." Kyoko looked at me and I was stunned as I finally saw her from up close for the first time. Her blond wavy hair and beautiful honey colored eyes could knock anyone of their feet.

"You are Sho's manager aren't you? Does my fiancé have a job for me?" She said and I was shocked to find her tone to be polite, not a hint of hatred for Sho who had cheated on her so many times. "Yes, he wants you to play in his PV." Kyoko hummed.

The girl on the president's knees finally peeped up and asked a question I was dying to know the answer as well. "But onee – sama, aren't you angry? I heard you talking with Ren – sama and he was cursing your fiancé for cheating on you despite having 'an angel that fell from heaven on earth' at his side."

I hid my smile at the blush Kyoko sported but also my frown. Tsuruga Ren was Sho's 'rival' and if he lost the girl he loved to him, he would be devastated. "Squirt, don't listen to what Ren – san says about Sho ever again. He hates him completely and you can't turn his mind around. Even if he Sho saved Ren – san's life in the future, he would continue to hate him. But to answer your question, no I am not angry with Sho."

Her eyes were really sad however. You could see the sorrow swimming in those deep pools and I had to get myself together and describe the role to this beautiful girl that was so easy to love. "Would you like the details to the role?" I ask softly, knowing that I had to tread carefully here.

"Yes please, I would like to know what exactly the role he wants me to take is." I smile and nod. "Sho would like you to play the angel who falls in love with the devil, who is played by him." I can see her surprise at Sho's request, "He wants me to play the angel? How come he didn't ask someone else?"

I try not to wince. "Sho has… changed since you left." I reluctantly admit. "He has broken up with all his 'girlfriends' and has been working diligently ever since, not taking even one break. When I suggested he moves in with me because he is horrible in housework and would need to someone to cook for him, he snapped at me and said the only girl he would live in the same house with was his fiancé."

I look in Kyoko's eyes and I was see the surprise that filled her along with something else I couldn't recognize. I see her nodding her head and I hope this means she'll agree. I nearly scream with glee when she speaks up. "I will accept the role, with one condition." I didn't even hesitate as I answered. "Name it." I see her smile amused and I blush as I noticed finally that I answered a bit too eagerly. "I want to bring a friend of mine's with me." I nod in acceptance and stand up. "That is acceptable. I will send a car tomorrow to bring you to the studio." With that, I leave to meet up with Sho.

Kyoko's P.O.V

Kyoko was feeling warm from the revelation that Sho had stopped his playboy ways and that he referred to her as his fiancé. Knowing that she would have a hard time facing Sho on her own, she asked to bring her friend with her. She had every intention to take Kanae. She would be exactly what she needed to keep a clear head.

Turning to the boss, she excused herself and went to find Ren. She would greatly enjoy telling this to her overprotective brother. Do note the sarcasm.

Sho's P.O.V

I answered the call from my manager, hoping that she would have good news. "Sho, Kyoko accepted on the condition she brings a friend with her. I didn't see a problem with it so I agreed. She will be coming tomorrow to the studio. Prepare yourself."

I thanked Shouko and looked at the picture that was on the coffee table. From within, Kyoko smiled at me, her gentle eyes making butterflies flip in my stomach. I groaned out loud. 'If this is what a picture causes me, what will I do when I see her again? Handcuff her to myself to stop her from leaving?' I thought and went to take a shower to clear my mind –and also clean myself so I would be at my best tomorrow.

END OF CHAPTER 3

How was it? I know it wasn't worth the wait of several weeks, but I did myself. It didn't want to be written! Anyway, this is my surprise to my reviewers. Every Friday, I'll write and upload a one-shot of their choice. This is of course only for those who wish it. My previous reviewers have already earned the right and they can read the details on my blog. The link to my blog is kitsune1997. blogspot. gr/. Just remove the spaces! Please note that I gain no profit from this blog and the only reason I am not posting the details here is because the author's note would get even longer! Now, let's go to the omake!

Omake: Ren's reaction

Ren looked at Kyoko as if she had gained another head. "Absolutely not! I will not allow you to shoot a video clip with Shoutarou Fuwa!" Kyoko sighed exasperated. "Onii – sama, I have already accepted and according to his manager, he has changed. I want to see that with my own eyes. Besides, I won't go alone. I am taking Kanae with me."

This calmed Ren somewhat, but not completely. While Kanae was truly a force you should avoid angering, Kyoko was his sister who had been hurt by this asshole a lot of times. "But Kyoko!" He whined and Kyoko rolled her eyes.

"No, I am not changing my mind. And no, before you ask, you cannot come with me or call me every five minutes to check on me. I will allow two calls every hour, but no more. If you call me more than two times per hour, I'll shut down my phone. You got it?" Ren meekly nodded and pouted. He had forgotten his sister had a temper to match his own and that she knew all his plans. Why, oh why, did he have to talk in his sleep?

The end

So, this is the end of the omake! Did you laugh at the end? I know I did. Please leave a comment! Ja ne~
