I won't keep you away from the chapter anymore. I hope you like and ENJOY it! ^_^ Thank you *bow*
O.o BOOM! Badoom Boom Bass! Got that FUWA SHO?! o.O
Six weeks after the night at the bar…
It was 10:30 pm Friday night at Ren's apartment. Kyoko came over to cook dinner for Ren. It was the usual for them. Ren picking Kyoko up wherever she was when he was done early or before 11:00 pm. They would go to his apartment, she would cook dinner for them and then they did their music thing together. Sometimes, Kyoko even sleep over when they get carried away and forgot the time and it was already late and a waste of time for Ren to give Kyoko a ride home.
Kyoko and Ren were in his living room eating the food Kyoko just cooked. They were watching TV as they ate. It was a late night talk show. It just started and they watched the host introduce who she was interviewing. It was none other than Fuwa Sho himself. Kyoko and Ren stilled…not knowing that the first thing that came to their mind were the concern of the other's reaction to that one particular blonde musician. Ren was expecting Kyoko to have dark aura and be lost in her own world and Kyoko was afraid to see the demon lord come out like usual at the mention of the singer's name.
Sho came out to the stage and Ren and Kyoko just froze there waiting for the other's expected reaction. But no dark auras came into their presence, only the tension and nervousness. They both sighed in relief and they continued watching the program. Ren did not change the channel since Kyoko did not told him to do so. He was so happy inside and he wanted to test how far she had come in forgetting that idiot.
The female host was interviewing him about his upcoming tour and congratulated him for another of his hit single again topping the music charts. They inquired about his personal life, the likes and the usual questions. Then, they moved on to questions about his new PV of his new hit single. She asked him if he had any trouble about acting and everything. Sho answered in his usual cocky manner. It was all good so far…until the famous host asked him a very odd question that bruised Sho's ego.
"Sho-kun, in this particular question I need your music expertise." The host requested cutely and Sho nodded smugly in response to the request that was blowing his ego bigger than his already big head. "Do you think Japan's most desirable man, Tsuruga Ren, can sing like a pro, too, like you?" She asked with a mischievous smile.
"Y- what?" Sho double take at the host when he heard the startling and odd question. "C-can you repeat the question again? I'm afraid I misheard it."
The host's smile widened and then begin to slowly repeat each syllable of the question. "Do you think Japan's most desirable man, Tsuruga Ren, can sing like a pro, too, like you?"
"Are you crazy?!" Sho shouted, startling everyone in the studio and the viewers who admired him. "I-I mean, w-what makes you ask that question?"
The female host now grinned at Sho with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes as she revealed the secret that her eyes were clearly indicating. "Well… Sho-kun…" She drawled slowly for more thrill and Sho shifted in his chair uncomfortably. "and to all the people of Japan, we have discovered this video just today and confirmed that the video that has been blazing on a famous western website called youtube was a video of Japan's top actor Tsuruga Ren performing in a bar! "
There was silence. Sho, for a few minutes, did not comprehend what the host had just said to the whole nation on live TV. Even the audience was totally boggled at first. Then, the big screen to the left of the stage came to life and showed the video the host was talking about.
"WhooooOOOOOoooOOO!" The audience were shouting in the background.
The screen showed three people on a stage and behind them were musical instruments. To the left was a burly man sitting on a bar chair holding a guitar and started playing it. In the middle was a fairly tall girl with shoulder length orange hair who wore a cute peach sundress and the last one on the right of the screen was a tall fit man who wore a white buttoned up shirt with four buttons open showing his muscular chest and a pair of jeans that hid his long muscular legs.
The burly guy started playing the guitar and the tall man on the right started rapping. When he faced the crowd, the camera zoomed in a little and it showed a grainy feature of a man. It was a little too grainy and far that it was hard to tell for sure that it was Tsuruga Ren. He then turned to the girl in the middle and started slowly moving towards her as if he was singing or rapping for her.
This one is for the girls with shakira hips
Top low, red stick Chanel smears her lips
When she come up in the club she be lightin' up
Bout a 120 guys that would like to make love
She a dream, she mean, make a guy like me wanna scream
She rules everything, yeah she's an innocent little thing
she peng, she a 10, make me wanna tell a friend
unknown in the bits, no one knows her in the ends
He was right in front of her and was hovering and leaning into her face. The crowd in the audience whistled and shouted.
She a hell of a hot babe babe
Kiss her on the lip lip
Make me go insane sane
Love her every way way
That's the kinda girl I was looking for
The guy stepped back from the girl and looked at the the crowd and then turned right back to the girl in front of him. He took one of her hands in his and then started making her twirl twice with their connected hands. He stopped and gathered against him and then dipped her so suddenly and quickly.
And yes you'll get slapped if you're looking hoe
Ahem, excuse me, miss mysterious girl
I think you kinda like the way that I'm making you twirl
Keep me running back and forth in and out of your world
'cause you really want a prince like in fairytales
He set her carefully back to her feet and he got down on one knee and kissed the back of her hand so quickly anyone watching could have missed it if they hadn't been paying attention. Then, he playfully winked at her as he stood back up again.
So, look at me, girl talk to me
And I will tell you who the F I is
I am Tsuruga Ren this is the truth Girl
I am your new Prince, so sing it with me
The video froze and rewind to "I am Tsuruga Ren, this is the truth Girl." They showed it three more times and then switched back to the interview set.
"You hear that, Minna-san?" The woman asked Sho, the audience on set and the whole Japan. "That is truth, as he said it! Be sure to stay tuned to watch the whole video because we're gonna discover the lucky girl our most desirable man was singing to. We'll be right back."
Kyoko and Ren had their mouths open as they stared at the TV screen in front of them.
"Oh my god! Tsuruga-san!" Kyoko clutched his arm with both hands. "W-wha-wha-what are we going to do?! They know!" She shook him by his arm. "They know, Tsuruga-san!"
They were suddenly startled by both their mobile phones ringing. They looked at it scared. It continued ringing until Ren decided to answer his and told Kyoko to silent her phone when they saw that it was a private number.
"President." Ren greeted nervously with Kyoko still clutching to his arm by his side. "Kyoko's with me, so you can stop calling her too. You're on speaker."
"Why didn't anyone inform me about this?" The president barked angrily at them.
"Blame Yashiro. He was the one that insisted we perform in that bar when they found out Kyoko and I could sing." Ren defended immediately.
"Well, he wasn't the one that rapped his name out loud for everyone to know who he is!" The president retorted.
"We had one too many shots, so I wasn't really thinking as clearly as I should have... And I didn't notice Nick giving Mogami-san a Shirley Temple with alcohol before she drank half of it already." Ren explained.
"So basically, all of you were just drunk?" Lory concluded dryly.
"Well, yeah..." Ren agreed guiltily like a child who got caught doing something he was told not to do.
"Is there-" Lory stopped mid sentence when they heard the show coming back on again. "Don't move the both of you. Mogami-kun, stay at Ren's for the night. It's dangerous to go out. Sebastian already called your building security. Wait till we get there and we can discuss this matter further." And the phone clicked off.
"Welcome back, everyone. We're still here with our guest Fuwa Sho." The host greeted and then turned to Sho and looked at him excitedly. "That was quite a shock, huh, Sho-kun? What's your opinion of this video and Japan's top actor's singing performance?"
"I... I can't believe someone like him could do that." Sho clenched his fist tightly as he forced himself to say those words. "Is the one in the video really Tsuruga Ren? Maybe it's just some phony imitator using his name to get their fifteen minute fame." Sho asked doubtfully. He just couldn't believe it.
No way in hell I'll acknowledge that pinhead actor's talent! Not in acting and never in a million years in singing! Sho thought furiously.
"Of course, it's true! Not only because he sang that it is the truth that he is Tsuruga Ren but we investigated it!" The host argued matter-of-factly. "This video was taken six weeks ago when Tsuruga Ren and this very lucky girl who you will find out the identity soon, had an Armandy photo shoot in Okinawa."
"Now... this is the moment of truth for this lucky girl's identity to be revealed. The only question I have for these two is..." She paused. "What is there relationship? Here is the rest of the video, Minna-san."
The girl started singing the chorus...
Boy you got my heart beat running away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom badoom boom boom
Badoom boom bass, got that super bass
Boom boom badoom boom boom
Badoom boom bass ba-a-ass
She was also dancing a little, clearly enjoying their performance. She had her two arms folded up with one hand holding the microphone. She moved her two hands to the side twice while her shoulders move to the other direction at the same time. She repeated it to the other direction and then slide her upper body up to the side. She did that twice for 'boom badoom boom bass' part.
This one is for the boys in the polos
Most desirable man and the models
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I'm not sure I would like him when he dolo
And I think I like him better without a t-shirt on
He ain't even gonna try to put the mack on
He just gotta give me that look, gotta give me that look
And my heart's running off, off
She stood in front of Ren, looked up at him and started rapping in her cute voice. Everyone was stunned and impressed to silence at first but when they recovered, they shouted and clapped in admiration at the talented young woman. Then, she very slowly ran a palm from his abs to his shoulder over his shirt. She looked him up from head to toe and back up again. Then she pinched a bit of his shirt and tugged at it really hard when she sang 'without a t-shirt on'. Their audience got wild with their claps, whistles and shouts of approvals. Ren smiled a sexy boyish smile that no one has seen before except for handful of close friends.
Uh, excuse me, you're a hell of a guy
You know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickening eyes
I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side
She then, abruptly turn her head to looked to the holder of the camera's direction and winked at clearly the American soldiers from the male voices who shouted back at Kyoko in playful approval. She replied by sexily waving her slender little fingers at them. Then, Ren cupped her chin and made her look back him.
But, don't you look, and don't you talk
I don't really give a damn who the F you is
I am Kyoko-chan, I am a nice girl
Don't break my heart or
I'll break your face boy
She pressed a finger on his lips as she began to sing 'and don't you talk'. She pulled away the finger that she pressed on his lips and moved it side to side gesturing that she didn't give a damn who F he is. She turned towards the camera again and revealed her identity.
Girl you got my heartbeat running away
Beating like a drum like it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom ba-doom boom boom
Ba-doom boom, got the super bass
Boom ba-doom boom boom
Ba-doom boom ba-a-ass
Ren sang looking straight at Kyoko as he swayed from side to side to the music. Then watched Kyoko danced that little dance again. The one she got from just watching the music video of that song once on youtube. She sang with him the last four lines.
"You heard that, Minna?" The host excitedly asked the audience in the studio. "She is none other than the Kyoko-chan who played the beautifully evil Mio in Dark Moon and the alluring bully Natsu in Box-'R'! And to those who don't believe me, here is the Armandy shoot that they did at Okinawa. Centerfold of the most popular magazine which came out yesterday."
They showed the the ad on screen. It was a black and white photo but it looked really romantic. Ren and Kyoko were at the beach with the sun was close to setting, shining at their back. They looked like they were really having a fun time in the picture. Kyoko was wearing a very cute white sundress while Kuon was only wearing jeans with his hair a half wet. It looked like Kyoko ran away from Ren and he ran after her and caught her by the stomach because in the picture Kyoko was off the ground while Ren held her by the stomach. By her expression, she was squealing happily and Kuon was smiling that sexy boyish grin they saw in the grainy version in that video.
Sho was frozen.
He could not believe it. He must be going blind or deaf because he just saw and heard the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Kyoko, his Kyoko! Singing with Tsuruga Ren! Performing really well at that!
He wished he would wake up soon because this dream was feeling too real for his comfort. But no matter how much he pinched his arm he was not waking up at all. The Armandy ad was even imprinted in his mind and Kyoko and Ren's voices singing "Boom ba-doom boom boom ba-doom boom bass!" kept repeating like a broken record in his mind causing him what he thought to be the massive headache in the history of headaches!
