Sorry this chapter came out so late. One word: relatives. Anyway, hope you enjoy and make sure to write reviews (they really do encourage me).

Chapter 3

Sho tapped his fingers on the reception desk, anxious to see what he wanted dearly. Kyoko. Today was finally the day that the cast would be introduced to each other so that they would be able to put faces to the people they played opposite of. They would meet their director and get their scripts that would have to be memorized by the first day of shooting, but Sho didn't care about any of that. He only wanted to see Kyoko, his love that he had pushed away to begin singing.

"Sho Fuwa? Your meeting with the other members of the cast begins in ten minutes in Room 128. Here is your escort to the room, Mr. Fuwa," the receptionist finally said gesturing to the woman next to her.

The woman bowed her head slightly and started down the hall. Sho followed, still anxious to get to the room with the cast.

"Here it is, Room 128. It appears that none of the cast is here yet, but I assume that they will be here shortly," the woman said bowing her head and heading toward the reception desk.

Sho sat down and sighed. He could not wait to see Kyoko again.

Everyone sat in the room waiting for the last member of the cast to arrive. Thirty minutes had gone by and he still hadn't shown up. No one knew his name because the director said that the last cast member had wanted to keep it a surprise.

"I wonder who he is Ren. Could he be someone really famous that he couldn't release his name even to the cast until now? Ohhh…I wonder who it is…" Kyoko said excitedly.

"Well, whoever he is, he is taking a very long time…even if he is famous," Ren said annoyed at the last cast member.

"Maybe, he's a prince from a faraway land that had to fly for a long time until he could be here," Kyoko said, letting her imagination get the better of her.

Ren chuckled. That girl was really something.

"The last cast member is in a different room. The receptionist made a mistake and he's been waiting there for about forty minutes," a man said coming in the room.

"I'll go get him," Kyoko said, still in her fairyland castle.

"Thank you," the director said smiling.

Kyoko walked out the door and skipped down the hall.

"He's in Room 128!" the man called to Kyoko.

"Thanks!" Kyoko yelled back, anxious to see the last cast member.

"Ahhhhh…why is everyone so late?" Sho mumbled frustrated.

It had been forty minutes since he had gotten to his room and there was still no sign of the other cast members. More importantly, Kyoko wasn't there and she usually would be right on time to cast meetings. In fact, Sho wouldn't be surprised if she arrived an hour early.

Sho chuckled at the thought. Even though Kyoko had changed a bit, she probably still believed in fairies and such. So innocently she used to wish to see a real fairy. She even had Sho wish with her.

"But the past is the past…I can only worry about the future Kyoko, not the old one. Kyoko is Kyoko, even if she changed her hair and joined the acting business," Sho reminded himself for the fortieth time.

"I'm leaving this room to go get a soda. At this rate, the meeting might start very late," Sho said to himself as he got up and walked to the door.

Right before Sho opened the door, he heard a knock.

"Last cast member? Are you still there? I'm coming in," a voice said cheerfully as the doorknob turned.

Sho knew this voice. It was the voice he had longed to here without even knowing it. His ears captured her voice perfectly. His heart raced with joy, but his body was calm.

The door opened and Kyoko stood in front of him with her hands over her eyes.

"Can I see who you are? Or do I have to wait to see you with everyone else?" Kyoko asked in a child-like tone.

She must have thought that I was a prince or something, Sho thought.

"Open your eyes," Sho said, hoping and wishing that she loved him too.

When Kyoko opened the door, she was too nervous to look at the mystery man immediately. After all, he had wanted to keep his identity secret so Kyoko didn't know who he could be. She covered her eyes, wondering if he still wanted to keep it a surprise until the cast saw him too.

"Can I see who you are? Or do I have to wait to see you with everyone else?" Kyoko asked.

There was silence, but then a man's voice said, "Open your eyes." Kyoko turned to stone at the sound of his words. Well, it wasn't exactly the words that had hurt her; it was the person who said them. And this person had ruined her life.

Kyoko took her hands off her eyes and opened them slowly, as if the light waiting for her would burn her eyes. And there he was.

Sho Fuwa.

Hatred filled Kyoko's insides from top to bottom. Kyoko used all of her energy to stop the demons inside of her from ripping him apart. Then she did the most unlikely thing ever.

She smiled at him and turned around.

"You were placed in the wrong room. Follow me to go to the meeting," Kyoko said, letting her hatred hit him like stabs to the back.

"Oh and one last thing, "Kyoko said turning into Mio, "Don't you dare talk to me outside of filming during this drama. If you do, I'm not sure that I will be able to be civil."

And with that, Kyoko walked away, letting Sho's slow footsteps follow her all the way to the meeting room, not knowing that those words had hit Sho hard enough to burn the hole in his heart. Sho grasped his jacket sleeve with his shaking hand and continued to walk behind Kyoko, step by step.
