Chapter 3

~Takarada Lory~

When will that boy come…

'I am getting so excited for him… if he knew that this will be his first romance he would be so shocked… I must first warn him about this. Ah, I have to tell him to keep an eye out for Akai Rosa. A red rose, huh? Hmm, a fitting name for such a beautiful lady. If I remember correctly a red rose means love and respect. Will it be alright? Will Ren melt her heart? Or will Ren's heart be melted instead? There are cases that men that tries to get close to Rosa and have made scandal but they were all taken care off. No one even knows what happened to them. All anyone ever says is that they have been thoroughly punished.'

'I have to let Ren know to be careful around her. It seems that whoever their president is, she seems to have a close relationship with, and firm respect that will never be broken. She appears to be quite loyal, hmmm… This may be harder than I thought.' Thought Lory while holding a picture of Akai Rosa with one hand and with the other holding a sheet of facts about her. Then Lory heard a soft knock on his length size wooden wall door.

"Lory-sama, Tsuruga Ren has arrived" Sebastian said while sticking his head inside through the door. Lory put the paper's down.

"Ah, bring him in" I said while putting both the papers down on the table.

Sebastian bowed and led Ren in to the office.

~Tsuruga Ren~

I wonder why the president wants to see me this early in the morning. Not even Yashiro-san knows of this….

Hmmmm…

"Tsuruga-sama, you may come in" said Sebastian while holding the door open with one hand and leading me in with the other. I said my thanks and went in.

Once I was inside I could feel that the president is up to something. It was in the air. The aura he gave out was full of excitement.

Sigh. 'I hope that it won't be lethal.'

~Lory~

"Ren, I want you to accept this role." I stated in a serious tone while smiling and laughing in the inside.

"Is that all? (He looked at me all shocked) You could have given it to Yashiro-san and I would have taken a look at it and accepted it without any problem." Ren replied

"I know, but I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your first love series and to warn you. This concerns about who your leading lady is. Do you want to know who the lucky woman is?"

"Who is it?" asked Ren with no enthusiasms in his voice.

"Come on Ren at least make it seem like you are interested!" I stated Ren only looked at me like he could care less. As if it were just any other job we were talking about.

"You're no fun" I said with a pout and getting my serious tone out again.

"It's Akai Rosa; it seems her company accepted the role. They have two actresses that will be joining the drama. The other actress is, Shiroi Lily. So what will you do Ren? Will you accept? Do I need to remind you that this could be a great leap towards your career?"

~REN~

'Akai Rosa will be my leading lady? Hmm not bad'

'I haven't had the chance to work with her. Although she does seems a little familiar to me. But I have to admit that her acting abilities are great. She even though she changes her appearance in every role she has.'

'Should I work with her? ...Oh what the heck, of course I will work with her. This may be my best series yet.'

"I accept boss." I stated confidently with a big smile.

~Lorry~

'Good, good, everything is going according to plan.'

"Well then, let's get to the main course since you accepted"

Ren gave me a confused look… how I wish to have a camera right about now.

"What do you mean?" stated Ren with confusion written all over his face and voice.

"Do you remember the name of the company that Rosa works for?' I asked him with a smile trying to covert me laughter.

"Hmm, if I remember correctly it was called Heart" he said still as confused as before.

"That is right; I want you to get close to her so that I can 'bond' with her company president." I stated with matter of fact voice.

"What? Is that all?" he asked as if that wasn't enough.

"Aren't you curious Ren? That it has been over a year but there hasn't been anyone to tell us who their president is or what they look like. Not even their gender."

"I see, you just want me to satisfy your curiosity. Alright then. "

"But Ren, this is a romance"

"What about it"

"You have been safe that all the dramas you have been in only contain a small romance scene so there hasn't been a problem… What I am trying to say is do that you don't know what love is. If you don't know it will be impossible to capture the heart of Rosa since she can portray anything, no matter love, horror action, etc. but you Ren don't know how to love"

"That is rude president, I have had girlfriends before"

"That is not what I mean Ren. What is your ideal type? Japanese? American?"

"…." It looks like he thought of someone. (Smile) he isn't as hopeless as I thought.

~Ren~

'Japanese…. hmm I faintly remember someone from my childhood, when my parents and I went to Kyoto. That girl if I remember correctly her name was Kyoko. Ah yes ever since that day. Kyoko-chan was my ideal Japanese woman…..'

"One that is kind, that will try her best I everything she does…." I said giving my most loving smile as if she were here to.

~Lory~

"It seems you met someone Ren. Care to tell me about it?" I asked with so much curiosity in my voice that I couldn't suppress.

"It was a long time ago boss. I don't even know her last name anymore. But I remember that I gave her a blue stone as a charm."

"I see. Tell me everything. Reminiscence your past with her. I will see if what you had towards her was love or not"

He did as I said. He explained to me everything. After he told me his experiences with her in Kyoto it seems that this boy might not seem to be a lost cause after all. But what should I do. It was when he was 10 yrs. Old.

Sigh…..

"Well my boy. It seems that you had a crush on her. It is possible that if you met her again that you will fall in love with her?"

"Wha…what, boss what are you talking about? That was when I was young it happened so long ago, do I even have to add that she thought I was a fairy?"

I laughed so hard trying to imagine Ren in tights and a tutu dress. "Now that made my day! (Still trying to control my laughter) Ah… That is it for today… You may leave… (I said as I made a shoo motion with my hand. I saw Ren get up and straighten out his clothes.) I'll tell Yashiro about the schedules. But remember boy, to seduce Akai Rosa…. And try to make it seem like you are in love with her….Goodbye"

He seemed like he wanted to protest but instead he let go…

'Hmm well then if they really will meet I would love to see it…

She may be the key to help Ren overcome his problem….' I said while holing at the picture of Rosa in my hand and remembering what Ren said to me….

A/N:
