Chapter Twenty Eight :: Freeing Cain Heel

Yashiro paused, his throat feeling dry as he stared across at his charge, what the hell was going on? He looked at Kuon with a slight smile wanting to know what was happening but afraid to ask. "So," he tried in English, "You are Cain Heel?"

Cain looked away in disinterest, "Do you have to be so disappointed glasses loser?" he asked before looking around, "Why would I be on such a crappy production piece anyway," he said before turning as if he were wearing a long coat.

Yashiro took another deep breath before replying, "You took this role to show a variety of acting." He was thankful now that he had actually learned and excelled in the English language through his education, it made it so much easier to catch the words and phrases that Cain was using.

"Your accent," Cain said narrowing his eyes, "It's dirty. Dirty like all Japanese people," he shrugged as Yashiro blinked looking offended. He didn't exactly know what to do, that hate in Kuon's eyes, that spark of insanity that wasn't usually there? Why was he suddenly playing a role unless of course he wasn't playing at all.

"You may not want to say those kind of things," Yashiro paled as the director came over and said in Japanese

"Hizuri? You feeling alright?" he asked as Yashiro's thoughts screamed at him to get the director away, he wasn't sure why Kuon was acting this way but if Cain Heel had taken over and the media found out about this then he was done for.

Cain towered over the director, who was rather short, a menacing glare in his eyes before turning and leaving. Yashiro sighed, at least that could have been worse but looking at the director now he wasn't sure what to say. The director, Nobayashi Keitaro, looked at Yashiro unsure what to say, that terrifying look in his eyes didn't seem right unless of course he was practicing something, even then to show such disrespect to the director seemed to be out of character for Kuon.

"Yukihito," he sighed, "Can you offer me an explanation."

"I think we'd all like one," Yashiro responded trying not to let his charge's personality out of his sight, "Perhaps he feels bad for having so many NGs, if you could excuse me I'll try to find out the reason," he said using a respectful tone. He rushed up to Cain and put a hand on his shoulder only finding himself to regret it when he heard the man growl.

"Which way are the dressing rooms?" he asked.

"This way," Yashiro gestured. Although most of him was afraid of going into the dressing room with this man right now, part of him was thinking that if he got him alone then he'd have a better chance of figuring out what had gone on and how to act next.

Once they were alone Cain looked at Kuon's clothing, not really to his tastes but at least closer than Ren Tsuruga would have worn. He growled before looking at Yashiro again, "Where's Setsu? What have you done with her?"

"Setsu...is" Yashiro struggled, "Taking a shopping day with one of her new friends, she said she wanted to surprise you with what she bought."

Cain looked away uninterested in that reason, "Get her here," he told him, "You' have a phone...here," he said before writing down Setsuka's number

"I have it already," Yashiro told him, "You already gave it to me, but thank you this will be easy to check," he started to put his gloves on as Cain's frown deepened.

"Hey!" he snapped at the manager, "You some kind of perv?"

"Of course not," Yashiro tried to deny, "I mean...I have no interest in people's bodies apart from those I'm dating..."

"Alright, hell I better not be dating you," Cain said through a clenched jaw, forming and loosening his hand into a fist and then dropping that fist and starting again.

"Why would..." Yashiro asked before realizing that Cain was going to have to get changed. "My apologies," he told him before getting out of the room and getting onto the phone with Kyoko. Cain Heel doesn't speak English does he...just because he was speaking English I instantly went that way.

"Moshi Moshi, Kyoko speaking," Kyoko responded in a cheerful way, she was just finished with her first classes of the day and was confused as to why her boyfriend's manager was phoning her unless...that had happened.

"Setsuka," Yashiro replied, "Your brother's looking for you?"

"Yashiro-san?" Kyoko asked confused before repeating the words, "My brother is looking for me?"

"I don't know, he's gone haywire," Yashiro said, "I've tried calling him Kuon but he won't respond to anything other than Cain, anything other than English."

"That's because nii-san doesn't know Japanese," Kyoko blinked not entirely understanding what Yashiro was trying to tell her, "Originally he didn't anyway. I'm sorry Yashiro-san what are you trying to tell me?"

"Kyoko-chan," Yashiro asked in a serious tone, "Could it be perhaps that you know who has multiple personality disorder."

Kyoko nearly dropped the phone before laughing weakly, "Why would you think that you know who has a multiple personality?" she asked trying to brush it off.

"It's the only thing that makes sense to me," Yashiro told her, "The voices that that person was talking about were flashbacks because of his multiple or multiples right?"

"I'll be right there," Kyoko replied in shock before there could be heard the sound of her gathering her things and leaving, "Tell Nii-san that Setsuka will see him soon, I have to go now so I can get ready. Thank you for calling me Yashiro-san,"

Forty Minutes Later

"So," Cain said bitterly as Yashiro went with him to LME where he had been told he was going to meet with his sister, fortunately because of the movie being disrupted they had a lot of extra time but he had hoped not to do this in such a public place. Looking around quickly he took deep breaths trying to ease himself into a role that wasn't supposed to be easy and then caught her, who he assumed was Setsuka walking straight towards them.

"Nii-san," she whispered as Cain looked at her, "What is all of this?" she asked to Kuon's normal clothes, "You don't look as dark as you usually do."

"Only clothes that I could find," he told her as Setsuka clicked her tongue in her cheek

"Nii-san you need to think more about your appearance, anyway may we go somewhere more private?" she asked looking around, "I'd prefer to spend time with Nii-san alone,"

"Fine with me," Cain replied before glaring at Yashiro

"I'll leave, I'll go talk to the president..." he said as Kyoko shook her head at that suggestion, not wanting to cause Kuon to lose his jobs and fearing the president would persuade him to step down from acting until he felt better.

"Why do a nonsensical thing like that," Setsu said before looking at Cain and then reached up to hug him but instead she whispered in his ear, "Stop it...Kuon Hizuri friend of Rick but not a murderer"

With that an image of Rick flew into Cain's mind and he took a step back, his face starting to grow pale as he looked at her nervously. Kyoko smiled back this was Kuon, but it wasn't just Kuon. He was shaking as he looked around quickly. "LME?" he asked as Kyoko nodded.

"This guy took you here," she said gesturing to Yashiro as a crowd formed around them. "Let's go talk somewhere else," she told him before leading him and Yashiro to the Love Me room.

Once there Kuon looked down, "I think they're back..." he whispered as Yashiro looked at him and Kyoko took his hand, stroking it softly knowing what he was going to say, "I have to stop acting! I have to tell boss!"

"No you don't," Kyoko whispered, "Just..."

Kuon looked at her before explaining the whole story not knowing that Lory was listening again to what was going on in that room.
