Author's Note:

Hi everyone,

This chapter is almost triple the length compared to the last chapter! I'll try my best to put up new chapters every Sunday but I'm very busy right now (the reason is on my profile page) so if I miss a Sunday, please don't kill me!

And if you see anyone out of character, please tell me ASAP!

Enjoy! ^_^


This is bad, this is really bad! Everyone's going to find out that you are not Setsu! Kyoko's inner spirits screamed out to her as she continued to stare at the fallen wig. She could feel the shock and confusion in the air. But she was too afraid to move her eyes. She couldn't speak, she couldn't move, she felt like a stone statue.

Nooooo! The head spirit exclaimed. This is way worse than you think, Kyoko Mogami! You are just an amateur actress so it doesn't matter if you are revealed to the rest of the world. Remember, the worst part is not about you being found out, the worst part is –

Kyoko realised with the utmost terror. A bead of sweat slowly formed and rolled down from the side of her head. She could hear her heartbeat earthquaking her entire body with fear and horror.

No the worst part is not about me. The worst part is that if my identity is exposed, Cain's real identity will also be revealed as TSURUGA-SAN!

Kyoko's demons wrapped themselves around her body and finally managed to push her head and lower back upright. Murasame flung himself off the floor away from the ground and picked up the wig. He then looked at Kyoko in disbelief.

"WERE YOU TRYING TO DECEIVE ALL OF US?! YOU ARE BOTH LAZY IDIOTS! YOU TRIED TO FOOL US!" His breaths ran short as he shouted at them with all his strength. "YOU ARE NOT SETSU! I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE..."

Kyoko's eyes slowly moved to watch Ren's reaction. His eyes met hers. Kyoko couldn't tell what he was thinking behind those BJ contacts that he was wearing. Ren didn't smile, he didn't frown. His face was completely expressionless, filled with no emotions at all. But when she looked down, she saw his hands began to tremble, and slowly folded themselves into fists. She didn't know what Ren was feeling, but he was definitely fighting something, fighting some type of urge. His knuckles were completely white and she could feel that he was using all his strength to keep himself from using any sort of violence.

Cain (Ren), please don't lose yourself, I'll try and figure something out, even though I have no idea what to do next.

Without warning, her spirits and demons started to swarm up to Ren, pleading for some advice, some help on this situation. They begged silently to him,

Please help your sister! Please help your junior! We don't know what to do Senpai! Please help us! Please please please!

What in the world are you guys doing?! Kyoko silently screamed at her demons as she grabbed them with both hands and shoved them back into her body. Tsuruga-senpai is out of bounds! You can't go asking for his help without my permission! Stop being so rebellious!

Head demon: But I thought that you wanted us to ask for his help! We could see it all over your face!

Be quiet and listen to me! Firstly, you can't go near Tsuruga-san! Remember his dazzling smiles? He is completely off limits because he will extinguish you from my body if you touch him! Secondly, he is my senpai! He will definitely be disappointed in me if I ask for his help, not that I wanted to! I mean, you all read my face wrong! Kyoko directed as she felt disgusted at herself for even wanting Tsuruga-san's help. But all of a sudden, Ren took a deep breath, and was prepared to open his mouth to speak. Kyoko felt a bomb of dread exploding in her body. She knew what he was about to do.

He is going to go 'rage'! He is going to get himself exposed! No, I cannot let him reveal himself like this! I can't let him loose his identity because his junior doesn't know how to react in a situation like this! I don't want this to end; I don't want either of us to be revealed!

Like having a completely different mind of their own, her right hand all of a sudden reached out and placed her index finger on Ren's lips, her other hand clutched Ren's left one, with such force as if she was holding on to it for her dear life.

What the…I don't want this to end? What am I thinking? What is that supposed to mean? What am I doing?!

Both of her hands moved their positions down to his wrist and pulled his hand forward until it touched her chest, where her heart was pulsing so fast and so very unevenly.

Her head demon gasped in bewilderment. Eh? AHHHHH ! KYOKO YOU BAKA! What are you doing?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!

What the hell am I doing? What the hell am I thinking? Kyoko silently screamed at herself. And why is my heart starting to slow down? Why am I starting to feel calm again? Is it because…because of his hand? Is it because of him?

She gradually moved her focus of Ren's hand to his face. She studied him, his special effect make-up, his ebony hair, his expressionless face.

That time, when I first went to greet Cain Heel….

Kyoko vividly remembered the moment she met the character Cain, she remembered the smell of that cigarette, the glare of Death on Cain Heel's face. The glare was so lethal that she believed then that it could literally kill someone in an instance.

Even though I recognised him as Tsuruga-san, his amazing acting skills managed to fool me again.

She remembered how he stepped over her and didn't even say a single word. But with simply those body actions and facial expressions, her initial recognition of him as Ren was immediately juxtaposed by her certainty that Cain was a completely different and petrifying person.

This kind of acting….is what they call 'Professionalism'. This kind of acting is what I want to master.

I want to be as good as Tsuruga-san.

Kyoko stared deeper into his eyes.

I don't want to disappoint him AGAIN.

Ren eyes gazed into Kyoko's. Even though he still had his 'Cain' face on, no matter how hard he tried, HIS heart continued to race faster and faster at her unexpected move. His fingers felt her soft skin, the warmth slowly returning into her body, and her heart slowly calming down. Her eyes of despair were immediately replaced by a mixture of poise and reassurance.


Setsu's lips tilted slightly upwards into a smirk as she raised her chin up, up to its usual height.

"My dear Brother," She whispered in a polite and confident English. "I will try my best to live up to your professionalism."

Ren's expressionless face broke into a half-smile, a cool 'Cain' grin.

I thought it was the end when her wig came off. I thought that the project was over, and that there was no way to rewind the events. I thought that my time with my beloved Setsu was history. And I was about to kill that guy, Murasame, that son of a b*tch!

And just when I was about to give up Cain, she took my hand a placed it on her heart.

This girl is, seriously…something special.

A strong feeling of confidence travelled from her heart along his arm and spread warmly out into his body.

This feeling…I can trust her, her ability to act, her ability to regain her cover. I know that she will do her very best.

He nodded in agreement.

Setsu gently caressed his hand, entwining his fingers with hers. She then stepped forward towards Murasame in a model-like manner with one hand on her hip and the other swinging gently in sync with her steps. The sound of her black heels clicking on the ground resonated throughout the entire studio. Both heels stopped one inch away from Murasame. His eyes slowly moved upwards and met hers. An icy shiver ran down his back as he felt the superiority from her stone-like gaze. She shook her head swiftly to rid the hairnet and to reveal her bright, orange hair.

Everyone in the studio gasped at the unnaturally bright colour. Her left heel squished the hairnet like a cigarette butt and kicked it behind her. She smiled defiantly as she remembered Ren telling her, "To act is to attract."

Yes, brother, you're right. I will definitely make this unfortunate accident into a fortunate incident.

Setsu scanned every single pair of eyes around her. She picked up the wig from his hands with her index finger and thumb,

extended her arm to the side

and dropped it back onto the floor.

She turned her attention back to Murasame with an arrogant sulk.

My biggest acting test has begun.

And I

Will

Not

Lose.


Okay, so the events in this whole chapter just pretty much happened in 5 minutes max, you guys are probably cursing me right now because you want more action. I completely understand how you feel… -_-

As an author, I like to take things slow to create more tension, to express the characters emotions in detail, and of course, to give me more time to think about what I should write next. I think action is important yes, but the characters emotional changes throughout the actions I think are absolutely essential. So I am so sorry, but this is the way I write, and I really hope that you guys will enjoy it more this way!

Ily! Until next time!
