Learning As You Go
A Skip Beat Fanfiction
Its been roughly 10 years since I wrote anything worth posting anywhere so please excuse my writing style, it might take a few chapters to find a style that I am comfortable with!
It had been two whole days since the disastrous collision of her would be Nii-san and her Nii-san in the President's office, and her nerves were so raw and thin that she believed that a twig snapping could have been like an exploding time bomb going off inside her. It had taken her two whole hours to calm Cain down after the stranger had…. Done whatever the hell it was that he did!
Sighing in frustration she bent down to touch her forehead to Cain's head.
For the life of her she couldn't figure out what he had done? Her body had gone taunt and her clothes at the time seemed to have suddenly became way to small. He had made her whole-body itch! Sensitive skin had become tingly and warm and her heart had skip beats. Her breathe and be so painful in her lungs that she thought she would die to loss of oxygen.
"Setsu?" Glancing down she peered downwards into her brothers dark and curious gaze. Smiling what she hoped was a happy smile she readjusted herself on the waist high brick wall that was behind the bench that her brother had plop himself down in. She had climbed the bench and maneuvered herself around the brick wall to where her brother now sat between her legs and had sighed in contentment after a few seconds her brother relaxed and moved her legs over his wide shoulders.
"I am serious Cain I don't remember your friend, Kash was it, at all?" She nibbled her lower lip and their eyes connected again and she wondered if she trusted this 'friend' or not? His reply was quick and decisive, letting her know this would be the last time he would speak on the matter. "Like I said he is old friend from the academy the old man sent me to," his words were laced with hatred and a danger that only she could guess at.
Growling she stuck out her tongue at her brothers upturn face and squinted her eyes for good measure, once a upon a time her brother would have chuckled and pinched her cheeks in their play, but Cain had changed. Cain didn't play with her anymore nor did he laugh or enjoyed goofing off with her. Now he acted like being with her was a chore, he still spoiled her and doted on her in public but in private…
A female's laughter broke their conversation and as they turned their head to the train station, to where the laughter had come from, Setsu's breath caught, her skin goose bumped again, and suddenly there was lightness in her head. Her short-cropped top with flaring skirt suddenly felt if was to warm and to… to… itchy!
In that moment in time Setsu knew he was the most beautiful man she had ever saw! Taller than her brother with messy black hair a slender face with the most erotic emerald eyes to ever been gifted to a mere human. He wore a business suit of black slacks with a fresh pressed cotton button up dress shirt which was unbuttoned from the collar to his breastbone.
Licking her lips as she finally remembered where she and with whom she was with and small blush crept up her neck and splashed onto her cheeks. She fumbled a second as Cain slid her legs from his shoulders and rose to greet his friend and Setsu, just knew- just knew, nothing was ever going to be the same again.
Coming to Japan hadn't been Will's first choice of action, hell finishing the job he had started on the old man was what he wanted more than anything. But Steven Bennet had connections- connections that a boy barely grown had no idea on how to combat against. In the end, as his brothers had started to wage war against one another on the old man's last will and testament, not that he nor his sister had any claim to anything- the up side of being a bastard child! He made his getaway, taking his sister with him.
Mirabelle and he where the Bennet's dirty little secret and the Bennet's Matriarch had sent Mirabelle and him to Japan to their 'mothers' side of the family in which turned out just fine for Will, not so much for Mirabelle! His sweet sister hadn't liked being sent away, at thirteen she thought she was being punished. Something Will, or their new grandparents had never been able to dispel from her. In the end it hadn't mattered…
It had been his grandfather that had taken Will to LME and induced him to Lory Takarada. Grant it the man was a nut, but something told Will that this man could be trusted. Hours later after walking into LME and explaining what he was and why he was there he watched in wonder as the older man blinked a slow sad gaze at him and smiled half-heartedly. Lighting up a cigar and picking up the phone Will watch in fascination as hours passed by and William J. Bennet ceased to exist.
For days he had no name, no family- for everyone thought it best if he cut all ties to his past and simply started to exist in the here and now.
In the pasting days his greatest wish had been granted!
For once he would learn who and what he was without his family's shadow weighting him down!
Now was the time to explore and learn about life! To find the man within!
Now was the time to find out what kind of actor he was since he knew acting was something that ran through his blood, his brothers could testify to that! The old man was a director and knew talent when he saw it, it would signify why Steven Bennet had kept him from the industry as much as he could. However, when Will had turn eighteen the old man had simply changed tactics and used his name to bar Will from most jobs!
In fact, if hadn't been for Hizuri Kuu Will would have never got a toe wet in any acting environment. Hizuri Kuu had ask a favor of a director that was new in Hollywood and had gotten Will in the door. The rest was history.
History! God that sounded so good!
The President was still working on creating a new name and life for him, but he knew he wouldn't squander the chances that Hizuri and Takarada had giving him! The past was just that the past! The here and now is the only thing that mattered!
And in the here and now he was Cain Heel. A simple man that doted (granted stiffly) on his sister and awaiting his best friend, a man he had never meet before. A man that Lory Takarada had promised would understand the roughness that these first few weeks would bring.
Setting those thoughts aside for a moment he tired once again to figure out the woman that played his loving sister. Setsu Heel was very demanding little sister, very affectionate to him and wondered if he misunderstood the true relationship between the Heel siblings? But it was the woman behind Setsu that pipped his curiosity, he had only caught the actress in her true form briefly.
It was her bright golden eyes that had made him paused then she had spoken, the surprised as she took him in and spluttered at the President. Will was more curious about the odd looks the President had given her in return.
It all didn't matter in the end cause from this point on he would become someone new, someone he could be proud of, someone he hoped his mother and sister would guide!
For now, he would play Cain Heel and try to atone for the sin that would forever stain his soul!
In the end it hadn't taken Ren all that long to find his true 'Kash Shirai', something that bothered him a little bit! In the end he felt something stir deep within and had granted that this deep longing could help him, possibly with more than his character. This deep longing was slowing becoming inner woven with his every soul and he wasn't sure he disliked the changes?
He knew the changes stemmed from his true self and that alone made him on edge but when no one negatively commented, in fact a few people had smiled in kind when some of the changes had leaked out in his normal everyday life he wonder if perhaps if not all the changes were bad?
Now two days after the talk with the President and agreeing to help the kid that Lory seemed hell bent on saving (not that Lory had to ask in the first place- Ren could easily see that the boy was wound and tight)! Lory had parted with Ren with the advice that boy didn't know much on family love or trust! Not that Ren was an expert on those issues, but it was the way Lory Takarada had said it that made Ren believe that he, along with Kyoko could help in some odd way?
Now he was dressed in tight black dress pants and a wrinkled white cotton shirt with a tie that was pulled loose and free. His midnight black hair was fingered messy and his emerald eyes were sharp as he made his way through the train station. His targets were his best friend and said friends little sister. The part of him that was Cain Heel snarled at that and argued that she was his little sister, his to spoil, his to love!
It was his new found Kash Shirai that stamped those thought- those cravings down! It was Kash that told him that he would no longer be chained by the bonds of her being his sister that would allow him to pursue her as a woman, a woman whom he was madly in love with! A woman that if he were be honest with (and honest with himself) could transform into his best friend and lover.
If Kash or if Ren had bothered to dig deeper, he would have known it was Kuon that demanded that he take advantage of this opportunity to tell and show Kyoko his love for her.
Kuon Hizuri was stirring and Ren Tsuruga didn't even have a clue.
And so, flashing his eyes at the nearest pretty woman Kash smiled and chuckled as he made his way over to the blushing woman, said woman smiled prettily and timidly as he whispered soft seductive words in her ear. For Kash was and always would be a women's gentlemen. Smiling as she pocketed her number into his hand before boarding her train, Kash let out a slow and long whistle.
Long strides took him outside the station, standing to get his bearings and glance around, he found himself freezing when he noticed the pair sited on the brick wall and bench! Cain Heel was careless sited on the bench, lending backwards onto his sister lap. Said sister, at first glance some men might have been scared off but Kash found himself licks his lips in appreciation. Her cropped top showed her sweet slender stomach and her skirt hung low on her hips. All in all, it was a perfect easy outfit one could shake off in mere seconds and that thought pleased him greatly.
Before he could take a step, his eyes clashed with bright silver eyes and he stopped as his heart thudded loudly. Swallowing hard he forced his legs to move and he watched as Cain stand up and nod with a uncertain smile gracing his face, smiling he came to rest in front of the bench and held out his hand "Cain mate its been to long!" It was then he noticed the smile fully bloomed on the other mans face. Clasps hands quickly he dismissed his friends reply for the chance to take in stock the beautiful woman still sitting on the brick wall.
Smirking as he watched as she waited for her brother to help her from the bench to the ground and then her annoyance when her beloved Nii-san didn't even spare her glance. "Cain is this how you treat a krasivaya zhenshchina?" He watched in amused as surprise flittered thru his friends face and then glancing back to the lovely lady that stood frozen on the bench he quicky swept up and placed his hands around her small waist and whispered softly, "hang on tightly detka!" Smiling as he saw pure delight within her silver eyes, he gently lifted her up and then placed her on the ground.
It was an annoyed growl that broke the spell that neither of them had been aware of, cocking an eyebrow at his friend in silent question- not realizing his hands were still locked around this beautiful woman whom for all he could know belonged to his best friend? "Kash you are a fucking ublyudok- that's my sestra," Blinking in surprised he slowly, ever so slowly removed his hands noticing the emptiness it brought he tried to tear his gaze from this sweet temptation.
"This is your nemnogo sestra?" He let his words be playful and light watching as both brother and sister blushed, delighted himself that this was going so well. He hadn't realized that his 'best friend' spoke Russian but he suddenly found a spark of true happiness sprouting deep inside at the prospect of having someone to converse in his mother's beloved language.
It was the sister the broke the magic that bound them, her voice light and oh so soft that Kash wondered if he imagined the purity of it? "Your Nii-san's friend? If so, I won't go easy on you! You better be just as good as Nii-san!" Smirking as he raised a hand to tuck a loose piece of hair behind her, he couldn't help but whisper, "no worries detka I am even better!"
Laughing as she jerked back with wide eyes and an innocent face, he couldn't help the desire to fun his finger down the column of her neck and watch in fasciation as her skin pebbled under his touch.
A quick frown marred his face as Cain smacked away his and growled out, "no yeblya with my nemnogo sestra Kash." But before he could reply the krasivaya zhenshchina spoke with a all but hot tempted demand.
"If you can't speak English or Japanese then I am not talking to either of you!" and she clearly meant it for no sooner than she spoke she started to walk away without a backwards glance.
Both men looked at one another- one smirking and the other simply licked his lips at the challenge!
It was a split second before Kash caught up with her short strides and reached out to nab her wrist he murmured softly, "I am sorry vozlyublennaya I will tried to remember to speak English, in my defense its been years since I have had some one to converse in Russian with!" Nodding as Cain strode up to them with an impish smile on his own lips and simply nodded in agreement.
He laughed as she huffed and pouted then muttered softly, "fine but your teaching me some!" Grinning Kash couldn't help the content smile from his face even when he noticed Cain's annoyed looked. Shaking his head agreed whole heartily that he would teach her Russian plus much much more!
