Chapter 3: Enter Setsu

"Wait a moment" Lory's voice rang out to Director Kuchiki.

Spinning on his heels Kuchiki turned to look at him with a look of annoyance on his face. "yyyyyessss? What you want to give him more time? Time in money you know"

"Yes I know that all too well, but I think we should prepare first before we just go in there." Lory smiled and glanced over at Kyoko. Which interested Kuchiki a little and the annoyance vanished from his face.

"Just what is it you were thinking, Lory-san" he stated with a smirk growing on his face. He's got to be close to the president to call him that Yashiro thought it even surprised Kyoko to hear him say it so casually.

"Well, did you hear our conversation at all? Us referring Kyoko-chan here as Setsu?"

"Ah yes, and I do like that name for her I've already made a mental note of it" he smiled it did have a nice ring to it.

"Would you like to see her?" Lory questioned knowing she would blow Kuchiki away which made him giggle on the inside.

"hmmm…..Yes I guess it would be best to enter with her." Kuchiki was getting the hint quickly. These two seem so familiar to each other its almost scary I wonder how they know each other? I thought one was enough to get everyone ruffled up but could there possibly be two of them in this world that think like that. Yashiro pondered almost scared of the thought that there was two of them and then thinking about his charge, boy, he's in for it.

Lory turned and faced Kyoko "So what do you say? How's about you go get into character and show Director Kuchiki here what precious treasure he just inherited."

Kyoko stood for a second then smiled widely "Of course, its my assignment anyways Cain does need his Setsu right now" you can do this, you can do this, you can do this, prove him wrong he needs me…..I think. Kyoko began to worry did he really need her or was she just getting caught up in the moment and let her emotions take control.

"Great, you go get ready and we'll stay here waiting for you to return. In the mean time we'll explain everything to Director Kuchiki about your character so he fully understands the magnificent Setsu." Lory chimed and turned back to Kuchiki. "Shall we sit over here and grab a cup of tea?"

"Sounds good, we'll see you soon Setsu" Kuchiki stated with a wink towards Kyoko which made her blush slightly. She turned quickly and started off to the dressing room where she changed out of Setsu in that morning. The three men watched as she walked off.

"She seems so bubbly and sweet can she really play a part that has some darkness to it?" Kuchiki asked, beginning to worry slightly.

"Oh, you have no idea. That girl is capable of many things." For the first time Yashiro chirped in and Kuchiki gave him a sidewards glance. Yashiro realizing he hadn't really introduced himself he turned and faced Kuchiki "I'm Yashiro Yukihito, Cain's manager" he said with a smile.

After the introduction the four set off for tea while they waited and Yashiro and Lory began to explain Setsu, Kyoko, Ren, and Cain to the new director and director Ogata. Their relationships both as characters and real life. By the end of the explanation the two could see Kuchiki was getting many ideas in his head not all Yashiro would approve of.

I can do this, I'll show him, I'll prove I can be a good actress, that one day I can be at his level Kyoko was lost in thought as she walked towards the dressing room and then was snapped out of it when she heard her name being called in the distance.

"Kyoko-chan, Kyoko-chan!" Moko's voice found its way through the crowd of people as she spotted Kyoko walking doing her best to get the attention of the other actress. "Wait up" she huffed as she got closer. When she reached Kyoko she bent down a little holding on to her knees as she tried to regain her breathe, she had been looking all over for her best friend since she heard the rumors of what happened earlier. "Is everything okay, have you heard about that accident earlier I wonder who it was."

Kyoko looked up at her "hey, yes I heard and I….." wait I can't tell her can I. Cain's true identity is suppose to be kept hidden. What am I suppose to say she began to worry and Moko noticed.

"What's going on?" Moko almost demanded.

"Umm…well….I don't really think I can tell you"

"What do you mean by that" Moko felt somewhat hurt that her friend was hiding things from her. "what are you hiding? I'm your bes…umm friend you should be able to tell me anything."

"were you about to say best friend by chance?" a large smile grew on Kyoko's face in excitement.

Moko knew what she had just got herself into and sighed admitting defeat she knew it was inevitable. "Yes, Best Friend" with that Kyoko screamed and rushed over to her catching her in a huge bear hug and wouldn't let go. Moko squirmed trying to pry herself loose but found it difficult. "Only on one condition thou"

"What name it I'll do anything" Kyoko had huge eyes looking up at Moko from her position attached fully around Moko's waist.

With glaring eyes she looked down "Tell me EVERYTHING!" it wasn't a suggestion it was a demand and Kyoko sat wondering what she should do. Well she is my best friend…..and I do think shes trust worthy….but is it really my secret to tell…wait it is now I'm part of this now….and well she should know especially if we are gonna want to spend time with each other. It might even help, she'll be able to help me if I ever get stuck. Thoughts flooded though her mind and Moko stared down at her slightly confused. What is going on? "Wellllll….. Whats it gonna be?"

"Alright on one condition" Kyoko said letting go and holding up one finger to Moko. "You absolutely must I mean must keep everything a secret no one is to know that you know understand" wow I think is the first time ive really seen her dead serious about anything this must be big…I just have to know now. And with that Moko nodded her head "Promise." Kyoko held up a pinky to her and she looked slightly confused "pinky promise?" huh is she serious what are we 12? "ummm ya pinky promise" and she wrapped her pinky around Kyoko's. This just feels odd I've never done this before with anyone. With that Kyoko pulled Moko closer still holding her pinky so their faces were only inches apart which made Moko squeak a little. Mio came to the front and stared into Moko's eyes "Good cuz if you don't keep it, that means I get to break it" and she gripped Moko's pinky harder which made her eyes get wider in shock. All she could do was nod in understanding and then she was let go.

"Good" Kyoko smiled brightly at her back in her own body. It's scary how well she can flip from one personality to another. "Do you have some free time?"

"ummm ya I'm done for the day" Moko replied and Kyoko caught her in a hug again "Grrreaaatt" she chirped as Moko became agitated. "Mo, Get off!" she shoved Kyoko away from her. "So What's the plan? What is it you gotta tell me?" she was curious now determined to get it out of her.

"Well I got to go to the dressing room and change characters. Come with me I'll explain on the way." Kyoko was excited and a little worried but she could trust Moko-chan. No this is probably good Cain needs someone there for him to help him through. Now I can have someone there for me just incase I need some help and it would be nice to have some to talk with about it all. She can help me stay hidden too…yes this was a good idea….so even if someone finds out I told her they can't be too mad. With that the two started heading to the dressing room keeping close to each other so Kyoko could whisper everything to Moko without anyone hearing.

10 minutes later they were finally in front of the dressing room.

"So that's it!" Kyoko said with a smile. While Moko stood there looking at her with some shock apparent on her face even though she was trying to hide it.

"So let me get this straight your now going to be in the movie?" Kyoko nodded. "You'll be playing across from Tsuruga-san?" another nod. "Who is really Cain?" Kyoko put a finger up to her mouth motioning that she couldn't say that too loud, but still nodded yes. "You're Setsu" another nod. "you basically have to live with him till the movies over" nod. does she realize what she got herself into and she smiled thinking about what torture this must be for Tsuruga-san. He's really not in gods favor right now. "You're working with director Kuchiki, basically one of the best directors out there now"

Kyoko perked up at that "You know him?"

"No, but I've heard of him he's huge. Very big name. You should feel unbelievably privileged to be working with him its going to get you far" with that she began to feel a little jealous. How come things always end up in her lap like this...but I can't be like this I should be proud of her.. And I am…I'm going to help her with whatever she needs.

"Really" Her eyes went wide. " I had no idea" she suddenly got nervous. I better prove myself starting now.

"So are you going to help and keep this secret?"

"Yes" Moko nodded "I promised I would right?" Kyoko smiled and grabbed Moko's hand.

"Well then lets get going we're here time to get into Setsu" with that she opened the door and found her stylist sitting on the far couch.

"Setsu!" the woman looked up a little surprised at the new comer in the room.

"I need to get into character" Kyoko stated excited to get into her role. The woman nodded and smiled.

"Great, I just picked out a new outfit for you too I'm really excited about this one I think its so cute" Kyoko followed the woman to the back and was handed the outfit and made her way behind the dressing screen. The woman looked back at Moko with a smile "This may take a couple of minute please sit and relax" pointing at the couch. Moko nodded and watched the woman leave and made her way over to it.

15 minute later Kyoko or who she thought was Kyoko emerged from the screen and she sat in shock. No way this can't be the same person.

"Hi ya Moko-chan" Setsu smiled at her "How do I look?"

It took a moment for Moko to her bearings together and nodded at Kyoko still in shock. "Wow…..I-I-I-I don't even know what to say but wow…. Is that really you?"

"Yep" she smiled "well I'm going to have to cut this short I have people to see and things to do I'll see you around I just wanted you to know what I looked like incase I ever come up to you like this so don't act shocked if I do. And remember you don't know who I really am" Setsu said with a glare at Moko as she adjusted her lip ring so I didn't clink on her teeth as she spoke.

"Thanks for the heads up" Moko stated I'm going to have to get used to this….just where did my sweet Kyoko-chan go? Wow this is going to take some time to sink in. With everything settled Moko stood up and joined Setsu as they walked to the door. Setsu turned around and waved at the stylist "Thanks a lot, see ya around"

"Anytime its my pleasure" the woman smiled and waved.

It had been almost an hour that the three men were sitting there talking with each other before Setsu finally made her way back.

"Well, it seems our Setsu is ready" Lory announced as he saw her approaching noticing all the stares from the people around and he smiled.

"hmm, where?" Kuchiki perked up hearing him say that. He was now fully interested in seeing this creature Lory and Yashiro told him about. The fact that she could change characters so easily and was good at it too really intrigued him. He just had to see it with his own eyes.

Lory raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction of Kuchiki with a smile on his face. "There she is in all her beauty" Kuchiki turned slowly following the direction of Lory's finger. What he saw he couldn't believe he stood bug eyed as he watched her approach Yashiro stood the same besides him. That can't be the same girl we saw just a hour ago. Setsu made her way through the crowd sashaying her hips as she walked and was completely oblivious to the looks she was getting from everyone men and women alike. A playful determination was seen in her eyes as she made her way to her dear brother. She walked with confidence with her blonde hair down and flowing around her shoulders, her lip ring chain swung a little as she shook her head slightly getting the hair out of her eyes. She wore a low cut solid black halter top that stopped just above her belly button covered by a crop top red leather jacket that had chains that hung around her shoulders with two small pockets in the front. The collar had been popped up framing her neck where a black choker with a large silver cross hung. Her skirt was a red and black plaid that hung low on her hips and was only about 8 inches long hiding very little, under she wore a pair of short-short spandex's incase the wind blew too hard. A studded black belt was wrapped around her hips and a small chain was attached from the front right of her hip to the middle of the back. Her legs sported a pair of fishnets that had a line going up the back with a pair of tall black boots with a 4 inch heel that came just above her knees and cuffed and two small chains wrapped around her ankles which made small clinking noises as she walked. She saw the four men standing looking at her as she approached and made her way over to them. She stopped about 4 feet away from the group and looked at them completely in character.

"So…Has my dear brother made his way out yet?" she said and tilted her head slightly and pointed to the dressing room.

Lory laughed slightly as he watch the three men stare at her shocked "nope not yet".

"Oh, okay I'll just have to get him then" she said with a smile and then looked over at the three that stood speechless watching her. "You boys seeing something you like?" she said playfully and licked her lips staring at them like they were new toys. She stepped closer to the director making her face inches from his and stared him straight in the eye "You better not let my brother catch you, he's very protective you know just the way I like it" she said in a low sultry voice and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. She stood back and turned toward the dressing room door and began to walk to it. I've stuck gold Kuchiki smiled giddy inside and the four turned to follow her.

She got to the door and didn't even bother knocking just flung it open and stood in the doorway scanning the room to find her brother. Then her eyes narrowed target spotted. "Caiiiinnnnn" she yelled.

Cain sat up straight from his previous position on the couch and whipped his head towards the door where Setsu was standing. He bit his lip slightly and gawked do they always have to dress her like that…are they trying to kill me.
