Act 1: Lover Shop

Two days have passed since the end of the first semester. Everything was dull at the moment. No school, no allowance no nothing, just this home that she was forced to share with her parents for the week. She was very much against the idea of having to leave her apartment in order to live with her parents even though it was just for a week. It meant no freedom, it meant chores and not to mention having to put up with her parents' idiocy at some time, mostly her mom's. Of course her father was quite the bright man, but her mom…well, she was average. For all she knew, they could have been not related at all. She looked like her, a little but she was more akin to her father, and with her mom being away all the time, she really didn't understand her.

"Listen to me Rei-chan, Riiko-C is in Spain right now, improving her career in photography. So please understand that she's doing this for your own good, and brother's too."

His uncle's words kept echoing in her mind. She still couldn't believe that just for work, her mom would leave. Of course she was very much happy to be receiving money from her, but it was her dad who always gave it to him, and never really her mom; to be exact, she really couldn't remember her mother…not one bit.

I still don't understand why we're related.

She thought to herself as she buried her head into one of her pillows. There was still this internal conflict within herself, she still doesn't want to be near a place where her mother live.

RING RING RING CLICK

"Hello, Asumoto Reina speaking."

"Oi, Asumoto. You free today?"

"Yes, why?"

"The girls wanted to eat at a café, want to come?"

For a while, Reina paused. Glancing at her watch, she smiled to herself and gave an enthusiastic nod as if the one she was speaking to was right in front of her.

"I'll definitely be there. What time?"

"Er…now?"

"Fine. The usual place?"

"Yup. We'll be expecting you."

"No problem, I'll be right there."

And in an instant she ended the communication. It was a rare thing for her to hang out with her friends since her father wanted her to concentrate on her studies more. It was a drag, that kind of arrangement, but it wasn't all to bad, after all, she was getting good grades, and probably better than most, so it was all worth it.

Within a couple of minutes of preparation, Reina was up and kicking. Having tugged on a black vest to top her white long sleeves, as well as putting on a black skirt, she was pretty much ready to go. As she grabbed her boots and began to put them on, she heard a light rapping at her door. It was so sudden but she lofted a brow.

"Who could that be, uncle and dad inst exactly home ye—"

Words weren't even finished when a look of gloom appeared on her face. It was HER. A low grunt and an irritated "What is it" was heard from inside the room. Before she could look up, she heard the slight creaking of the opening door making her shot her head up at the intended intrusion.

"Reina-cha—"

"Go away mother, I'm going out."

"Rei— anyway, where are you going?"

"Its non of your concern."

With that said, she brushed past her mother and slammed the front door on her way out. Riiko on the other hand couldn't help but frown seeing her daughter's reaction towards her. And still she couldn't really blame her for it, after all, as a mother she had never spent time with Reina. It was already a sure thing that she would hate her like this, but she never really expected it to hurt this much.

"Hey, you're late."

"Sorry. There was a pest in my way, so…"

"Well whatever it was, just forget it and lets celebrate for the ending of the first semester!"

"YEAH!"

After her arrival at the café which specialized in Takoyaki and sweets, they began their celebration. Truly, the first semester had been a hard time for everyone but good to say everyone pulled through. But at the moment, Reina couldn't help but avert her eyes from her friends, it seemed like she was the only one without a pair.

"Nee, nee, Reina, how come you didn't come with your boyfriend?"

If she hadn't been on her guard for that question, she would have probably spat out the tea she was drinking. Her love life had been pretty lame ever since she could remember. She for one had been gifted with the looks, the smarts, the athletic ability and nice breasts but she was so unlucky when it came to love. It wasn't her fault really, it was her dad's. She had received countless love letters and confessions, but she turned them all down. Even the guy she liked for the past two years, she turned him down too due to her father's orders. Study first before boys. It was so unfair on her part.

"Well…you know I don't have a boyfriend yet…"

She answered gloomy, sulking and disheartened. Her friends couldn't help but fake a gasp and their boyfriends couldn't help but not gasp at this.

"Its your father's will, right?"

One of her friends, Aoyama Kaname asked, poking her already flushed cheeks.

"…yes…"

She admitted.

"You should really get a boyfriend you know. Look at us, we're happy and we get good grades. Just keep it a secret from your dad."

She shook her head.

"That's the problem with you Asamoto Reina, you're too obedient."

In unison, her friends pointed at her accusingly, and she couldn't really say anything since she knew it was practically true when it comes to that aspect.

"I bet you cant get a boyfriend."

One of the guys teased. It made Reina's brow twitch a bit which made her glare at him. The guy was Ishoni Akechi. It was one of the guys she dumped in the course of two years.

"I'm sure I can, and in that aspect, I'm sure I wont get dumped."

She stated with a challenging smirk.

"What did you say, you cheeky bitch!?"

"You heard what I said, I said I wont get dumped. Why so affected Akechi-san, been dumped before? I'm out of here…that stupid guy just ruined my mood."

She stated while waving her hands. And in that instant, a splash could be heard and Reina found herself dripping wet and Akechi holding an emptied glass of juice.

"By the next term, if you don't have a boyfriend, you'll be my slave."

Akechi said with a smirk. Clenching her fists, Reina slammed them against the table before grabbing the parfait she ordered and then poured it over Akechi's thick head.

"You're on, bastard."

She replied accepting the challenge.

"Oi, Reina…"

"I'll catch you later Kaname…and, keep that Akechi of yours on a leash before I decide to beat him up."

"Reina…you haven't paid yet…"

But she was already gone as the café door's bell rang upon the exit she made. Catching a whiff of their conversation, the man behind the counter, particularly the boss, couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Who the hell was gonna clean up this mess? Was the only thing he could think to himself at the moment, and still, looking at the girl that had left, he couldn't help but remember someone he knew from a long time ago.

"I'm ba—"

Her eyes widened slightly as she felt a hot and searing pain across her cheeks. She was in the brink of shock at that time, before she looked up only to see the glaring eyes of her father.

"You did it again Reina, didn't you?"

He asked, not really feeling friendly at the moment.

"I didn't do anything."

"Don't lie to me Reina! Riiko was crying in her room again! You were acting mean to your mother againt, weren't you? Its so rare to see her here. Show some respect."

And with that she was left alone. The first instinct was to go to her room and sob on one of her pillows. Ever since she was a kid, her father had never struck her. It was the first time that he did. It was annoying.

"Stupid…dad you're stupid…"

She mused to herself, forgetting about the dried up juice that she was supposed to clean up. Shifting violently, she collided with her the table and fell from her bed with a couple of small boxes falling on her as well.

"Ow, ow…the hell…it's such a bad day today…"

She said as she rubbed her aching head. As she placed her hand on the floor in order to help her get her balance for standing up, she felt something just beneath her palms, picking it up, she held it up and looked at the small disk that was in her hands.

"Kronos Heaven Company? What's this…? There's even a url here or something…"

Standing up, she grabbed her laptop and turned it on. Once it was ready and starting she waited for the loading sequence to start before putting in the disk and then waited some more. After a good 10 minutes, and the url entered, the page was already on display.

Kronos Heaven Company had just finished the last of their Nightly Lover's Series in the nightly lover's collection. No. 13 will be the last product on this set, but you are free to choose from other lover series such as the Day Time collection and the Beef Cake collection.

"Day time collection? Beef cake collection? That sounds lame. I guess I'll check out this Nightly Lover's collection instead."

And with a click of the mouse, she found herself looking in an array of 13 gorgeous looking males. So hot she had never even seen anyone that actually looked like them in her whole entire life. Scrolling down, the one that caught her eye was model 13. With a well built frame, long silver hair and beautiful gray eyes, she was totally captivated.

"I cant believe they're just dolls…but then again, maybe this is just some prank. I think I'll go fill this thing out just for laughs."

She snickered to herself and began filling the lover's description out. Choosing carefully what kind of traits and skills he should have, and since it was a lover doll, she based it on the kind of guy she liked. After she filled up the online form, she wrote typed in her apartment's address and sent it to the company's mailing address.

Thank you. You will receive it by tomorrow afternoon, for the 3 day free trial.

The words just popped up from the screen. She shook her head and chuckled a bit as she turned her laptop off. Who was she kidding? It was just a prank; a prank that was built too well to fool anyone, but not her. She was too smart for that kind of thing. Then again it was pure curiosity that she tested it out, and she wouldn't even have to check her apartment tomorrow since she knew it nothing of the sort will be delivered to her apartment.

"A lover figure…pfft, what a waste of good advertising space."

She said as she kept her laptop on top of her table and headed for the shower, cleaning off the sticky liquid that had already dried.
