Chapter Four: Curiosity Killed The Cat
Of course, peddling at top speed, Kyoko made it to LME with ten minutes to spare. She had been worried the whole time she was riding her bike though, there was even one nerve wracking moment when there seemed to be some sort of a car wreck. Luckily she could fly through there with out having to stop. After arriving at LME, she sped to the Love Me Section's room.
Panting she sat down and after a minute dizzily attempted to get into her traditional pink jumpsuit with little success. She was laying across the floor with one leg in her jumpsuit when Kanae came in interrupting her dazed daydreaming. "Kyoko! What happened?" Kanae rushed over to Kyoko and helped her sit up. "N-nothing," Kyoko replied shaking her head a little and trying to focus, "Just dizzy…" Kanae ran to the freezer and got an ice pack for Kyoko, brusquely she held it up to Kyoko's forehead.
After a minute she asked, "Is that any better?" Kyoko noted it was and stood up, swaying only a little bit. Gingerly she sat down on the bench and put on her suit without ending up back on the floor. Kanae looked at her friend with disapproving eyes; Kyoko could be so irresponsible sometimes. "Kyoko, what happened to you? You made me worry when I came in and you were on the floor" Kyoko turned her head as if she couldn't believe what she had heard. Kanae saw the look on her face to slow and didn't have time to get away, she tried to back up, but Kyoko was too fast, she ran to Kanae and swept her into an embrace.
"Kanae! You do care about me! "Her eyes were sparkling Kanae noted, terrified, as she tried to fend off Kyoko's attack. The door opened Mr. Sawara poked his head in and said, "Hey guys," he stared at Kyoko who was skipping around obviously off to la la land. He cleared his throat to get her attention; she looked up, "Oh! Mr. Sawara! I didn't see you there! You see-" Kanae cut her off before she could embarrass them further, "Yes Mr. Sawara?" Mr. Sawara took his cue and said, "We have some work for the Love Me Section. Kanae, report to Mrs. Sakura, fifth floor, maintenance. Kyoko, deliver this script to Yashiro. He should be on the second floor." Mr. Sawara brushed off the two girls' odd behavior quickly in order to get ready for his next job, and after handing Kyoko the script left, leaving the two alone.
Kanae immediately headed for the door, glad to have an excuse to leave, "Bye Kyoko, take it easy! And I really do want to hear what happened!" she hoped her friend would be able to get over whatever had caused her legs to jellify. I bet she was just late to work and rushed, Kanae thought, who knows, Kyoko really had a complicated mind. To save herself from additional brain pain she decided just to think about the task at hand.
Kyoko beamed at Kanae as she left what a good friend she had! She sat down, Kanae was perfect in every way, she was a great actress, she took work seriously, and she was beautiful… Kyoko was contemplating how Kanae was perfect in every aspect when a heavy thump told her she had dozed off and dropped the script. "Oh no!" Kyoko looked at the clock, she had been sitting there for fifteen minutes, "I must have dozed off, what is with me today?"
She quickly picked up the script and headed to the second floor. As she padded down the halls she thought about her task and quickly became confused. Yashiro and Ren were usually on level three with the other actors. Floor two held the cafeteria, post, and nurse. There was no reason for them to be eating at eight in the morning, she knew they both got up really early and preferred not to eat cafeteria food, (If Ren ate at all.) So why Yashiro would want to post something Kyoko had no idea, but she headed there anyways.
As she went she noticed the halls were abnormally lacking life. Usually people were rushing here or there going to various jobs and meetings. However, today the only sign of life she saw on her way to the stairs was the janitor, whistling as he cleaned the floor. Kyoko waved and he acknowledged her with a nod.
Out of curiosity Kyoko glanced down at the script she cradled. On the front it read, Go. So that was the new drama Ren would be acting in. After Dark Moon, Go would be a piece of cake for him. Kyoko had heard a little about Go from various sources, (she had never actually heard the title, but had wanted to know what Ren was getting into.) It was a love story again but this time it had a twist, a hint of fantasy. Kyoko sighed enviously; Ren would be playing the role of a prince from a magical kingdom. Kyoko really had no idea why Ren would accept that role. It was not his type, she deducted that after finding out how to act, "Love" he was excited to do it again and Go was the first thing that came his way. She had also heard from her most reliable snoop, that Ren hadn't actually known about the fantasy until he had already signed. Kyoko could just see Ren, dashing in a suit fairies dancing around him and a castle nestled in a beautiful mountain glistening from the sun.
Kyoko sank to her knees, thoroughly depressed; she wished she could be in a fairytale like that! She sighed in a despaired way, she thought of the actors that would get to perform in the play; they would probably all be beautiful with prestigious careers to boot. Practically crying Kyoko peered down at her lap and let her gaze rest on the wondrous script. Slowly she stood up.
The copy of Go Kyoko was holding was the original, curious she opened the script to the character page; she wanted to know who the director had in mind for each part. What she saw stopped her dead. The lead, Hiroshi, was of course being played by Ren; a little drawing accompanied the name. It was a little sketch of Hiroshi; it was as handsome as Kyoko imagined, for a moment she melted. When she collected herself she moved on to the next name, right under Hiroshi was the main girl, Rinko, next to her name was scrawled in, "Kyoko Mogami." WHAT?
For a moment Kyoko could only thing that word. What? What? What? Then the questions started coming. Why would they pick her to be in Go? How could they pick her? Why? How? Why? It was a cute love story, so why would they choose her to play that role! In all of her previous jobs she had played a mean girl and often unpopular, who had major issues with the world. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, with never having seen her act as a cute girl, they wanted her?
In a dazed sort of trance Kyoko stumbled through the halls. A dull roaring filled her ears as her brain struggled to make up a reason for this anomaly; dimly she recognized a new sound penetrating the haze, it sounded like a mighty cascade from some giant waterfall.
Onceshe was in the stairwell she started to hear unusual sounds, exclamations, and non-stop talking. For a minute Kyoko wondered if some sort of party was taking place. As she got closer to the door the emotion of the din was evident, it was worry, and fear. What was going on?
Hesitating Kyoko opened the door, she didn't want to see what horrible thing had happened but curiosity compelled her. Even despite the fact that curiosity killed the cat.
~Okay! That was it! Now the only thing left to do is to press the butten that says "Review" Okay? Ha Ha, thanks so much!~
