The winds were running through the trees creating a rustling sound that were music to Kyoko's ears, it reminds her of Kyoto her hometown. She never felt so homesick until now, the life she had back there in Kyoto was simple she had nothing to worry about but working with the Fuwas. Now her life took it's turn when she became an actress unexpectedly and her simple life became complicated.

As she was feeling the wind and sound of trees rustling she was interrupted by Ushio. She returned to her senses and rushed towards Ushio who was smoking while scanning the scripts. Kyoko was smiling when she reached Ushio and greeted him nicely he greeted her at same fashion.

"I was wondering if you have read your script until the end of the movie."

Kyoko looked at him quizzically and answered, "I haven't, I only read scenes that will be shot. I happen to hate spoilers."

Unlike other stars who are reading their scripts until their final scene Kyoko was different she only reads and memorizes her lines when that particular scene was about to be shot.

Ushio sighed, "Then you are not aware of the scene we will shoot at midnight."

"At midnight, what kind of scene is that? Isn't it unusual to shoot at midnight?"

Ushio knew it would be hard for him to talk sense into Kyoko about that scene for he knows she is not yet ready for a mature scene like that. It would be better if he prepared her now but he thought Kyoko might run away if she find out about that scene.

"You hate spoilers right, then you shall only know about it later. Just focus on your scenes for the day and everything will be fine, besides you are a professional and nothing will go wrong just like what you did last night." He said tapping Kyoko's shoulder before leaving her.

She is indeed clueless of her scene with Ren, I hope she can make that scene with him.

Director Musashi is also having a conversation with Ren about his scene with Kyoko.

"I am not worried about you since you can do that scene smoothly; it is Kyoko I am worrying about. Is she even aware about that scene she will be filming with you this midnight?" Musashi said.

"I don't think she's aware of it. I am also worrying about her, this morning when she saw me buttoning my shirt she was blushing and can't even look at straight at me. Just imagine how she would react on what we are supposed to shoot later." Ren said in a worried tone of voice.

"That is why we and Ushio with your manager Yashiro are the only persons present in the shoot of that scene. That way we can ease her tension and she will not feel shy or whatsoever filming that scene with you."

Ren thought about it imagining how Kyoko would look like if she finds it out. He knows Kyoko will react violently but as an actress she must act calm and not let that distract her. He thought this is a test for her she must pass to prove something.

"This would be a test for her if she is ready for the big thing in show business; I know she can do it director I know she will." Ren said with confidence.

After their talk they immediately proceeded with filming their scene for the day. They did not have a hard time filming for their scenes did not require much effort from both Ren and Kyoko. Musashi told both Ren and Kyoko to have an early rest for they will be filming at midnight.

Inside the bus Kyoko was curious enough that she wanted to know what they will be filming and asked Ren about it. At first Ren did not bother to answer her question for it was Ushio or Musashi's job to brief her about it. But her constant nagging and pleading to him to tell it made his patience wore off.

Ren was looking at Kyoko with his demon look and said, "If you want to know what we will be filming later ask director Musashi or asst. director Ushio about it not from me."

Upon seeing his demon look Kyoko knew that instant Ren will never say a word about it and her nagging caused his anger. She turned her back and faced the window and did not utter a word to him for she will wait until his anger disperses. Ren realizing he frightened Kyoko by her sudden gesture wraps his arms around her and pulls her close to him.

"I'm sorry I did not mean to be angry at you but…"

"I know Tsuruga san it was my fault that I nag you some silly question. If there is someone who needs to apologize it is me. I guess I'll just have to wait until midnight for that scene."

Yashiro who was sitting on the other side of their seat smiled when he saw them.

Meanwhile in Tokyo, Sho was having a hard time focusing on his recording as if something bothers him. His manager called of his recording for she thought her talent is having only tired after their trip from Okinawa straight to the recording company. But it was not fatigue that gives Sho a hard time it was about what Ren and Kyoko will be filming later.

When midnight came, Kyoko was wondering why the two directors, her, Ren and Yashiro were the only people who were riding the bus on the way to their location. Their location was a traditional house with enough lighting inside a particular room with a futon good for two people placed in the middle. Seeing the futon was enough to make her shiver as if she already knew what they will be filming.

When Ushio handed over her script her hands were shivering along with the excessive beating of her heart as she was flipping the pages. As she reached the particular page of what they will be filming, Kyoko felt a lightning struck over her making her motionless. Ushio saw her odd reaction and called for her name.

"Kyoko san, is there anything wrong?"

Kyoko answered in a staggering tone of voice, "I..will…be filming a…lo…love…sce..ne with…Tsu…ruga san?"
