Chapter 12 - I think you're insane.

Tomoko didn't mean to kill the poor thing, but she was too mad to care about the dumb cell phone crushed in her clenched fist. She stormed into Kyoko's place and jumped on the bed, half hoping it would break from the impact. She tried to sleep, but she was too stressed. HOW was she going to even TRY to kiss the number one actor in Japan? Tomoko decided to get up and go for some ice cream instead, but was now alert that she couldn't find her purse. Just as she was about to freak out, she heard a doorbell ring. Even though they were at a restaurant, it's a bit unusual for someone to crave Japanese food at 4:00 am. (Kirei: what about ice cream...) Tomoko decided to be nosey and crept downstairs. As soon as she saw who was here, she frowned and put on her apron.

"We have the 'why would you be here' special on sale--" Tomoko said, stopping the huge flow of sarcasm from coming out. Yashiro held up a small Luis Vutton bag.

"Your purse. You left it when you ran away screaming 'Nooooooo!' after 'the news' came out." Yashiro said, smiling. Tomoko blushed.

"O-ooh.Thanks. I had an emergency and..." Tomoko started to say.

"Mhm. I believe you like I believe president has some normal clothes in his wardrobe." Yashiro said, lifting the purse higher than Tomoko can reach.

"Ah! Seriously! I did--"

"Tell me what your problem with your next drama is. It's not like I don't already know."

"I have no problem! I can't wait! I just had heard my aunt..."

"No more lies. Just tell me what's going on." Yashiro said, lifting it higher. Tomoko felt so bad that it had to come to this. It's just that she really needed those keys. She just HAD to get her ice c ream. She lowered her head and cursed the taste of vanilla and sprinkles before taking a deep breath and looking back at Yashiro.

"I was calling--" Tomoko said, continuing the secret. Yashiro nodded, and jotted down some stuff in that weird purple notebook. He seemed to fully understand exactly what's been going on by the time she was done.

"So can I have my keys? I'm dying for my sprinkles!!" Tomoko pleaded. Yashiro laughed and nodded. He now knew what he had to know, so he climbed into the car with a Ren that was waiting the whole time.

"So why didn't you stay? I looked like you guys were having fun." Ren said, smiling 'the mask'.

"What do you mean?" Yashiro asked, seriously confused.

"She yells 'noooooooo!' and runs full speed out a building when she hears she has kiss me, but when a guy visits her house at 4:00am asking for her secrets, it's totally normal."

"Nice one. How long did it take you to think that up?" Yashiro said, sarcastically.

ooo

Kyoko woke up happy. She had a dream that she had Sho beheaded. Too bad that happiness didn't last long. Kyoko picked up the phone without checking the caller id. She instantly regretted it. It was Tomoko.

"I just thought about it, but I think you're insane." Tomoko said, sounding unusually calm. Kyoko didn't answer out of shock, so Tomoko continued.

"You are lucky your fist stage kiss is with the hottest guy in Japan. And he's you SEMPAI. There should be absolutely no problem with it. You shouldn't be nervous. Unless..."

Kyoko thought about Tomoko's words and discovered she was correct, but there was still something holding her back from being so comfortable.

"Unless what?" Kyoko asked.

"Unless you're uncomfortable with having your first kiss with someone you like scheduled and its making you nervous... and its being filmed to...All of Japan will see..."

"I have no romantic feelings for sempai."

"You do." Tomoko said before she hung up. Kyoko looked at her hands. She began to wonder why she didn't deny it. What was that supposed to mean?
