Chapter 2: The pieces are moving together

Ren started to unconsciously walk over to the bench.

'Maybe...' Ren thought.

"Hello. My name is Tsuruga Ren." Ren flashed his co-worker smile at her.

"Er. Hello? My name is Tatakai Atsuki..." She looked at him questionably. His face lit up when she said her name though.

"Ahaha I guess you must not recognize me huh? I'm a little hurt. "

"I think you must have the wrong person." She was getting skeptical of the rather tall guy who looked like a playboy.

"I guess I have changed though. Picture me with blonde hair and blue eyes." He pointed to his face.

"Um, okay, blonde hair, blue eyes... NO. WAY! NO WAY! I can't believe it! I thought I'd never see you again! KYAAAAA!" She jumped onto him and he was able to catch her.

"Wah!" He was surprised by the sudden weight. He laughed though and decided to spin her around.

"Wow. Just like old times. Huh, Kuon?" Atsuki said.

Ren put her down and smiled a smile filled with sadness. "My name is now Tsuruga Ren. Please call me that."

"Oh. Okay. So, what are you doing now?"

"I'm an actor." Ren replied.

"Eh? Really? I thought- No, never mind. Ah! It's getting late! Can I have your phone number so we can talk?" She put her hand to where her pocket was.

"I would love to." Ren reached into his pocket to get his phone while Atsuki also got her's out.

"D-do you want to send it by infrared or manually?" Atsuki asked.

"What ever works for you." Ren replied sweetly.

"Okay. Can I just see you phone?" In response Ren handed his phone to her.

"Alright! I'll see you later Ren-san!" She starts to walk away.

Ren, being the gentleman he is, says "Ah, wait. How are you getting home?"

"I was just going to take the subway."

"I'll drive you home then."

"Okay." They both walked to where Ren's car was and went home.

~Kanae Katonami's Apartment~

"Hey! Kyoko! Did you just hear what I said? Mo!" The raven haired girl was laying on her bed with Kyoko on an inflatable mattress.

"Ah! I'm so sooorrryyy Moko-san! I was thinking about something else..."

"And what would that be?"

"Um, well, it's nothing! Ahaha!" Kyoko let out a fake laugh and rubbed the back of her head.

"Oh? Keeping a secret from me? Okay then. If we're not friends then-"

"Nooooo I'm sorry I'll tell yoouu!" Kyoko sat up in the bed and just said nothing.

"Well? What's wrong?" The friend asked, a little worried now.

"Um, well, it's like, I s-saw Tsuruga-san with a girl..." Kyoko started fidgeting a little bit.

"So? What? Were you jealous?" Kanae asked.

To respond, Kyoko just blushed profusely. "M-m-maybe. But why?"

Kanae just stared at her friend. 'Was she serious? Well, she is the number one member in the Love Me team.'

"Maybe it's because you like-"

"NO." Kyoko stopped her friend from saying anything. "It can't be that!"

The friend sighed. This girl was hopeless.

"O-k then Kyoko. Maybe it has to do with him being your Sempai."

"Ooooohh. But, Moko-san, why?"

"Mo! I don't know all this stuff! Lets just go to sleep!"

"Ok.."

The next day Kyoko woke up a little early so she could get a head start of the day. She left a note so she wouldn't be rude and just leave though.

Dear Moko-san,

Thank you sooooo much for inviting me over! I hope to see you soon. And I hope we can have lots more sleepovers!

Your friend,

Kyoko Mogami

Kanae sighed. Always up earlier then anybody.

-LINE BREAK-

At 8 Kyoko got a call from Mr. Sawara about a job offer. She responded with a "Hai! Will be there right away."

When Kyoko got to the LME building she headed for Sawara-san's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Said a voice on the other side of the door.

"Ohayo. What do you need, Kyoko-chan?" He asked, sitting at his desk filled with papers, folders, and scripts.

"Ohayo, Sawara-san. You.. Said you had some roles for me..?"

"Ah! Right! Right, okay." He somehow searched through his mountain of paper without displacing them. Only a couple of seconds later he pulled out a Manilla folder.

"You have three role offers." Sawara said passing the folder to Kyoko. "You just got the offers, so you can have a few days to look them over."

Kyoko smiled. "Thank you so much!" She happily skipped out of the office and headed to the cafeteria to look at the offers. After she sat down she opened the folder. "Let's see, the first one.." She mutters silently to herself. "The first one I would play the supporting role of a Yankee who falls in love with a nerd..." She flipped the paper to the other side of the folder to look at the second role. "The Queen has been murdered. And the princess is the only one to atleast see what he looked like. But instead of letting the authorities handle this, she wants to get revenge. So she runs away from her home to find the killer. There she meets a guy..." Kyoko's stares in amazement. She could be the princess. Kyoko! 'Yes!' Kyoko thought, but decided to at least give the last role a chance. "Number three. In 2020 most of the girls are in danger... Help leader of Yakuza... Lets see. Who would I be? The daughter of a yakuza who falls for the main character but ends up with the police man... I don't know." Kyoko put her head on the table and ran her hand through the hair on the back of her head.

"Kyoko-chan!" A familiar voice calls out and Kyoko looks up.

Ren and his manager, Yashiro-san, were coming her way.

'Shoot. What should I say. I don't think Tsuruga-san knows I saw him...' Kyoko thought.

"Hey Kyoko!" Yashiro said.

"Ohayo Yashiro-san and Tsuruga-san."

"Hello Mogami-san. Mind if we sit here?"

"Oh! Please do!" Kyoko pointed to the empty chairs and the boys sat down.

"So, Tsuruga-san, what are you doing here so early?" Kyoko asked.

"I accepted a job offer so I needed to talk about it. What about you?"

Kyoko's face got brighter. "Actually, I got three job offers! Two of supporting role but one's a main role!"

"Oh? What's it called?" Ren asked curiously.

"Ah! Um," Kyoko shuffles through the papers until she finds the right one! "Ah ha! It's called 'Uso no Sekai'."

"Oh! That's the one that-" Ren used his hand to cover his manager's mouth before he could say anything more.

"Well," Ren began, "I hope you can choose which one you want to do." Ren looks at Yashiro and removes his hand from the manager's mouth. "Yashiro-san, don't we have an interview at 9? We should leave now. Bye Kyoko." Both start to get up and leave.

"Hai! Good luck on your role!" Kyoko says enthusiastically. Kyoko then begins to look at each role before deciding on the second one. She gets up and heads to Sawara's office. 'I should tell Sawara-san about this right away.'

As Yashiro and Ren are walking out of the building and to Ren's car, Yashiro speaks up. "Ren, aren't you going to be in Uso no Sekai?" Yashiro is grinning mischievously.

"Yes." Ren replies.

"Well, Kyoko also got the role for co-actress."

"Actually, she got an offer, along with two others. We never know which one she might pick."

"Oh, come on! She even said she likes that role the most! And you two could act together. It's perfect!"

Ren sighs. He knows there's no way out of this.

"You never know, Yashiro-san." Ren opened her car door and got in.

'Please, Kyoko-san, choose that role.' Ren thinks silently to himself.

A/N: I don't wanna say much since then the notes will be longer than the story. :3 Can you guess what Kyoko's 1 and 3 roles are based off of? (Mangas) Uso no Sekai: I made it up. It means World of Lies. I hope to get more into it later. And Atsuki will also appear later, hopefully. ^.^ Like, follow, review, eat mochi! :D Thanks for reading!
