Sorry it's been so long! I got busy with school and then I lost interest but thanks to DreamIdol I found it again. Reading how much you enjoyed it made me feel bad about dropping it off.

My writing style might have changed since I wrote the last chapters but if it has it shouldn't affect the enjoyment of the story.

I did edit the end of chapter two. I felt like there was too much plot manipulation in it. But the change doesn't matter until later on in the story anyways.

If I ever take so long to update my story again just send me a message putting me on a guilt trip. Those work really well on me. And keeps my interest in the story.

Getting Ready

"Cut! Excellent work girls, we are done here for the day." Now that she had Nastu figured out she always had fun filming Box R. It was a struggle at first but she finally succeeded and even became friends with her costars. However, the problem in front of her now seemed much more difficult. She had to play a character in love with Tsuruga Ren but not fall in love with him herself, but that has never been done before.

On her way to work she kept mulling these thoughts about and was paying no attention to her surroundings. Today was going to be her first day filming for The Heist. She had an idea of how she wanted to portray her character but it always ended up changing and becoming something she could never have imagined. So she just had to wait till filming started for it to be complete. She had faith that she could make this character come alive but she was not so sure about the love scenes. She would have to rely on her sempai to lead her, which was not comforting. Kyoko had promised herself she would never fall in love again, but she was in danger of breaking that oath by going through with this drama.

Of course she had thought about quitting after she was done reading it but she couldn't do that. He would know it was because of him and even if he didn't he would call her unprofessional. To herself she would feel like a quitter. Her fighting plan was to capture Ren Tsuruga with her acting, so she doesn't fall in love with him like her character. It was her only chance.

Ren was on his way to the filming of his new drama and was deep in thought when Yashiro called out to him. "Ren, look, it's Kyoko-chan." He could tell she was caught up in thoughts to and pulled up right next to her and had Yashiro call out to her.

"Hey, Kyoko-chan."

"Huh… Oh hello Yashiro-san… and Mr. Tsuruga." She paused, whatever was on her mind had something to do with him.

"Do you need a ride to the shooting?" Yashiro asked her without asking Ren first if it would be okay. He noticed the pause too but figured it would be good for the two to be together, after all if they were like this during the shooting, it would be problematic. Better for them to solve their issues now before they got to the set and right in front of him so he could watch everything.

"Sure," she replied like normal and got in the car.

"Ms. Mogami did you figure out your character?"

"Yes I did. I read the script that night like you told me to and have been working on my Karu since then. It is done but I usually change my characters a couple days into shooting so I might not be as done as I think."

"Don't rely on that. It is true that for Dark Moon and Box R that happened but you need to discover your character as much as you can on your own." He was scolding her. All of his worrying over this drama and he ended up scolding her. Well at least he was consistent. Whenever she felt the need to be punished she did turn to him to get yelled at.

"Of course Mr. Tsuruga. It's just that I have what I want for my Karu but once we start the filming she will change a little to match your Yahiko." She took no offense to being scolded and was taking it gracefully. He could only smile, "Of course."

Once they arrived at the location they would be shooting so they split up to go to their dressing rooms. Kyoko was used to having her makeup done now but she still loved it and it was only done exceptionally well for her dramas. After her makeup was done she put her clothes on for the first scene. It was a dark blue blouse with ruffles on the shoulders. The pants were beige and she even had a wig to where for this drama. It was shoulder length and auburn colored.

Upon stepping out of her changing room she saw something she did not want to see. Lori Takarada talking with her sempai, Yashiro, and the director. Was Ren undergoing another acting test in this drama? If not, then why would the president be here? She decided to walk up and find out.

None of them could figure out why he was here. Which only added to his fun all the more. "Director Umeda, I came to get the schedule for the shootings so that I could be here for certain shoots to see if my actors are up to par. You see, you are using two of my favorite actors and for one of them this will be her debut in romance, and I want to make sure she does a good job."

"Of course, I'll go get that for you right away." As the director walked away a little bewildered, the president's favorite actress walked up. He could only beam at her as she walked up with a puzzled look.

Be here to make sure she does a good job my ass, you just want to torture me. Was one of the first thoughts that entered Ren's mind. And you just want to see if I can keep myself under control. You're here more because you are nosy then anything else. Was the next. He noticed the president's smile and looked in that direction. His breath caught in his throat as he looked at her. She was walking up to them with a face full of confusion, but she was gorgeous. The auburn wig added to her original beauty and her clothes fit her body as if their goal was to tease him. She had no idea the power she had over him.

"Mr. President, why are you here?" She asked as soon as she walked up to the little group.

"I came to get the schedule for the shooting so that I can be here during certain scenes to see if you are ready to act this role. Not being able to love is why I put you in the Love Me section originally." So Tsuruga Ren wasn't being tested but she was! Now she really had to make sure she didn't fall for her sempai's acting. Her career depended on it.
