Chapter 4
To be standing in the center of a small cyclone of debris, terrified of the girl he grew up with was not what he had in mind. She had such an evil smile gracing her lips, it was the most erotic thing he'd ever seen in his entire young life. One could say that he was definitely a masochist at this point.
She really didn't know who had control of her heart at the moment, but it was delicious. This overwhelming feeling of hot lust and aggressiveness was liberating. She'd never felt so free in her entire life. Kudos to the idiot that has control right now. She thought with a smirk. This was so much more than Natsu ever aspired to be.
"What's the matter Sho-chan? Too much for you?" She asked the frozen young man before her with a sexy smile as she caressed his cheek then pinched his neck.
He wanted to answer with one of his caustic comments, but nothing came to him. She was just too overwhelming, and intimidating.
"Hmm... Not man enough to even answer." She commented a little disappointed. "What a shame. I thought you would at least be a little up to it." She told him as she release him and started dressing for her next scene. "You know, like you used to be. I surely thought that you would be up to a little bit of conflict. Be a little more forceful. So boring."
He blushed at the thought. She'd never been so forward in mentioning their time at the beginning. In fact, there were many times he believed that she would sing to the media and ruin him for sure. He missed touching her, kissing her lips and feeling her beneath him. His groupies just weren't as willing as he'd believed they would be. Sure, she'd behaved like he'd taken her first kiss and all, but really to think that they never did anything was ridiculous. They'd been alone together for a year, to believe that they didn't make that connection was insane. To think he wouldn't take advantage of that situation was unrealistic. "I miss you Kyoko."
She laughed. Did he really think I would fall for something like that? Does he really think I'm that stupid? "You don't miss me. You miss the sex." She said bluntly and turned to him. "I don't. I can get that anywhere." She turned to him with an evil smirk. "Don't you know? Women don't have to beg for it." She told him in a cheery tone, and walked out.
Sho stood frozen in her dressing room for a good long while. What kind of monster did I create? Was his first thought, and then the realization that she was the one that had devoted herself to everything about him, hit him. If she chose to, she could easily catch up to him and surpass him in every way. Until now, she'd never shown the desire to. It seemed as though now, something had been released inside of her and nothing he could do or say would stop whatever caged beast had been set free, after he'd poked it with a stick for so many years.
"Is that Kyouko?" The drummer asked the bassist as she hopped up onto the small stage in the nightclub.
He answered with a nod and a smile of admiration. "Let's see what she's made up of." He whispered.
She flipped her raven locks and smiled at the band. "Do you boys know any of these?" She asked as she flashed the open web page on her phone to them.
"Yeah..." The guitarist told her a little acidly. He honestly didn't think she'd be able to impress them. She was just an actress after all.
She smirked. "Good, I want to do Mz. Hyde." She told them before she grabbed a guitar and set into a rift, impressing the hell out of the small group of young men. If they hadn't been mesmerized by the way she'd been dressed, she shocked them with her skills.
They nodded to each other and enthusiastically joined in.
In the daylight,
I'm your sweetheart,
You're goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art
But you don't know me,
And soon you won't forget,
Bad as can be, yeah you know I'm not so innocent
She had that club hopping by the time they were finished for the evening. She'd performed six more songs and they definitely did not have a problem with it. Especially when she gave them a phone number and told them to call it that Monday. They couldn't help, but think they'd just been recruited to be her band. It was something that they were going to hold her to when they called.
"Just tell Lory Takarada that you're my band." She told them with authority. She glanced at the lead singer and smiled, then kissed him and caressed his neck. "I'm looking forward to working with you." She murmured, then winked. They could only watch in stunned surprise as she prowled off the stage and out the door like a sleek, wild, alley-cat.
Lory sat at his desk stunned. It was one thing to see it on the security footage from the other day, but what Ruto had brought to him was just beyond words. The girl had more talent than any one person could handle. He looked up at him from the footage that he'd recorded from the nightclub in shock. "Who has her heart right now?"
Ruto chuckled. "Ah... That would be Amamiya-san, and Kotonami-san."
Lory shook his head. "I really need to keep a closer eye on my girls. I never dreamed the LoveME girls suppressed so much. Should we do something about this?"
Ruto shook his head. "Not unless you know someone that was as innocent as she portrayed herself as." He told him.
Lory sat back in his seat perplexed. The entrepreneur in him wanted to take full advantage, but the human in him believed he needed to find someone that would restore her to her old self. He looked up at Ruto. "What do we do?"
"She's making good progress, Sir. Let her express herself. She wouldn't be this way if it weren't hidden within her in the first place. We should set her free." He told him with a serious expression.
Lory nodded and then smiled. "Contact that group she was with. I want them in here on Monday. See if we can't talk them into a contract, and sign them. Maybe that will help." He told him, pulling out her file and adding to it.
Within a month, one would find her music blaring on every radio station and her CD's flying off the shelves, purchased by jaded young people all over Japan and it was spreading further through the internet. She was rising faster that Sho ever dreamed. Music written by her and the young singer that she'd met that night at the nightclub, Hiro Tanaka.
Hiro Tanaka, 19 years-old, taller than average, dark hair, golden eyes, the voice of an angel, and a huge fan of The Kyouko, especially now. He certainly didn't mind sharing the studio or the stage with this dark angel. There was something about the young man that reminded him of Kyoko. Whether it was his looks or his carefree attitude, Lory couldn't decide, but the voices of the pair shared a certain chemistry and harmony. It was as if they were the male and female aspects of each other. Lory needed to look into it more.
He didn't know why he'd asked it of the pair, but he was certainly glad he did. The approaching situation was not something he wanted his new talents mixed up in. Lory stared at the the revelation in shock. Could the world really be that small? So small that his LoveME number one and his new acquisition were related? Half-Brother and sister? He groaned. It was more like the Heel siblings that he cared to admit. The only difference was that the female was the dark one.
It had be a few months since the park incident and he'd included Kuon in that small circle of friends that were caring for her heart, without her or the other's knowledge. Certainly she was a little rough around the edges and she definitely was climbing to the top of the charts, much to Akatoki's chagrin. Lory thanked his lucky stars that Kyoko hadn't included Hiro-kun in her little toy chest of playthings. Perhaps she sensed, deep down, what Lory had just discovered. It was certainly something that Kuon had never mentioned to him regarding her past, when he'd come to him in desperation and willing to spill everything he knew and felt about her.
He leaned back in his seat, and sighed. "How do I tell them?"
"What is that, Sir?" Ruto asked.
"It would appear that Mogami-kun has a half-brother. A very talented one, at that." He told him.
Ruto looked at him in deep thought. "You should tell him first, and bring him up to date on the situation, just as you did the others."
Lory furrowed his brow. "Do you think that would be a good idea?"
"I would want to know. He thinks he's alone, they both do. It would do both of them good to know and assist in her healing." Ruto advised. It was one mistake he refused to make twice. No one had told him about his own sister until it was far too late. If he could prevent disaster with Kyoko-sama, he would make every effort to do so.
Lory nodded. "I suppose you're right."
Hiro couldn't really say that he was shocked. He'd suspected a connection with her once they got to know each other. What actually shocked him was the situation that she was in. He'd heard stories from his father and grandmother of witches in their bloodline. He was somewhat disappointed when he was younger that his innate ability wasn't that strong, but to discover that he had a sister, and she was suffering, pulled him to her side. His grandmother had told him of instances in their family like this, and he knew how to remedy the situation.
He'd grown close to Kyoko over the months with her, and when Lory handed him the box that contained her heart, he knew exactly what to do. Sure she would be angry with him, but he was the only one that could force her to take it back without her harming him.
"I love you Kyoko. I am your brother, family. I will NEVER leave you. Not now that I've found you." He told the sobbing, broken little female in his arms. "Onii-san will protect you." He told her.
Her heart hadn't been fully healed, but what her friends had done for her helped immensely and he and the rest of the family would finish the job. He would not allow this to happen again.
