Chapter Forty-four: 'CRIMSON – Kiss'
Date: May 20th, 2012
Location: S.S.A
Time: 7:30 AM
The bridge and the academy courtyard had been zoned off from most of the students. Preparations for the filming of the 'CRIMSON – Kiss' CF had started around six in the morning. The Brooks siblings were waiting for Asami and Masato on the bridge with the rest of the crew. Patiently waiting. Chi and Ringo were in the fashion studio with the hot couple. After all, the Aoi Vixen was the hair stylist and Ringo was assigned to apply their makeup. The rest of EKSTASIS and STARISH were in the principals office with Nanami and Yuudai. They were discussing a few matters revolving around their future collaborations. Oh. Wow. Sexy. Asami and Masato made a fashionable entrance. J.J smirked. He could tell right away that the two had chemistry. J.A adjusted the lens of her camera, before clicking away. The two were fashionably sexy. Oh. Yes. The black strands of Asami's hair were slightly wavy, even Chi had added red extensions, where her bangs were parted to the left side of her face. Ringo had applied a fine layer of dark eyeliner to Asami's eyes. It was enough to make her eyes appear mysteriously sexy. She was even wearing crimson-red lipstick, which matched the color of her red leather jacket. The sleeves of the jacket were long enough to cover the white bandage that was wrapped around her right arm. A definite yes to rebellious and sexy. Chi had managed to tie a few strands of Masato's blue hair back into a short ponytail, by using a black elastic hair band. Only a few strands of his hair were hanging down on the right side of his face. Ringo had applied the right amount of dark eyeliner, enough to make Masato claim the 'rebellious bad boy' appearance. The black leather jacket he wore, matched the color of Asami's mini skirt. Masato's outfit stated 'Smoking hot'. Black combat boots, black leather pants, a silver t-shirt, and a pair of red fingerless, leather gloves. J.A smiled. She liked the outfit on Masato.
"Are you two ready to bring 'CRIMSON – Kiss' to life?" Asked J.A.
Masato smiled, "Yes…- of course."
"We're ready to show our viewers the meaning of 'kiss the one you love' on screen," Asami smirked, noticing the fact that Masato was slightly red in the ears.
J.J handed Masato a red circular tin box, "Excellent. It's great to hear that. Once the camera starts rolling along with my orders, I want to see how great your chemistry is."
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
Mysterious and seductively sweet!
Chocolate kiss…- oh
Oh. Boy. The CF director never went back on his words. He knew that the CF would require skin ship and a lot of passion from the lovely couple. J.A stood by, ready to take pictures.
CRIMSON strawberries
Kiss the one you love!
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
Asami smiled, before taking hold of Masato's right hand, squeezing it gently. It was her way of telling him that everything was going to be fine. Masato smiled back. Somehow he wasn't feeling nervous anymore.
Melt into the taste!
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
Candy of love

Location: Tokyo STARDOM Agency
Time: 9:00 AM
Blue and yellow stain glass windows gleamed under the sunlight. There were twenty-seven levels in total inside the entertainment agency. Various training rooms were located on the 10th, 11th, and 12th floor. Recording studios were on the 14th and 15th floor. An elaborate gym was even located on the 16th floor. The 17th floor had a gigantic library. Dormitories reserved for the agencies trainees and other professional artists were on the 18th – 25th floor. However, a large indoor swimming pool was located on the 26th level, which was usually used by most of the senior artists in the building. J. Nakamura, the CEO of the agency, his office was located on the 27th floor. He was also the uncle of Chi and Ikuto Tsukiyomi. Even the manager of EKSTASIS, Kento Sato had his office located on the 9th floor. When he wasn't managing the band, he often worked as an actor, or a model. Other offices were on the 3rd – 8th floor of the agency. At the moment, Kento Sato was in the cafeteria, which was located on the second floor of the agency. He was currently typing away on his laptop, sending an email to the male members of EKSTASIS, and notifying them of upcoming events to attend. After all, Nanami was managed a separate schedule for Asami. There were a lot of differences when it came to working as a solo artist and working with other members within a group. Ikuto entered the cafeteria. Oh. Dear. The blue – haired violinist looked somewhat…- annoyed.
"What's wrong?" Asked Kento, once Ikuto took a seat across from him, "Did something bad happen at your school?"
Ikuto sighed, "If you count most of the female's at school trying to ambush me. Then…- yes."
"I guess your popularity as a model has gone up," Kento smirked, his golden-yellow eyes twinkled in amusement, "But it's a price to pay when you chose to star in Asami's music video."
Ikuto frowned, "My uncle is partly to blame."
"Don't worry," Kento closed his laptop, "If your situation at school gets out of hand, I'll ask your uncle to hire a few bodyguards for you."
Ikuto sweat dropped, "Umm…- no thanks."

"Oooohh ~ pretty colors!" Chirped Ringo, once she spotted a kit of assorted nail polish on the principals desk, "Where did you purchase the kit?!"
Yuudai typed away on his laptop, not bothering to look away from the screen, "I didn't buy the kit. It was given to me recently at the 'B&H' show, since I was one of the sponsors."
"I've heard that brand is pretty famous for his nail polish," Hyuuga said. He was seated on the sofa, beside Ringo. Paperwork was stacked on the coffee table, "However…- I don't see you wearing glittery nail polish."
Ringo smiled, "Ah ~ maybe he's going to give it to his girlfriend."
"For your information, that will never happen," Yuudai opened his briefcase, "I'm dedicated to my work…- not love."

Location: S.S.A; Courtyard
Time: 12:35 PM
Acting natural. Adapting quickly to the surroundings in the courtyard. The director's cameras along with his orders were still rolling. Filming in the academy courtyard was scripted as a second version for the commercial film. The crew and Nanami stood by watching the young couple. The two were seated on a picnic blanket, nearby one of the sakura trees.
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
Mysterious & seductively sweet!
Chocolate kiss…- oh
Masato opened the red circular tin box, before unwrapping one of the crimson foils, popping a dark strawberry chocolate drop into his mouth. Good as it sounds, the sweet naturally melted within his mouth. As directed, Masato held the tin box out of Asami's reach. On cue, the enchanting siren pouted before crossing her arms. How sly. Masato kissed Asami. Oh. Yes. For sure, the moment had been captured on film.
CRIMSON strawberries
Kiss the one you love!
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
The tin box dropped onto the picnic blanket. There was an instant scatter of sweet chocolate drops, which were individually wrapped in crimson foil. Oh. Dear. Nanami blushed from the kiss shared between Asami and Masato. Sure enough, the pianist had his arms wrapped around the enchanting siren's waist, while she had her arms wrapped around his neck. Oh. Wow. Seconds ticked by and the two were still in a passionate lip lock.
Melt into the taste!
~CRIMSON – Kiss~
Candy of love
One passionate kiss was steamy enough for the camera. J.A smirked, when her younger brother had to yell cut twice. The kiss was broken. The enchanting siren and the pianist were a little embarrassed. However, they did an excellent performance, enough to satisfy J.J. Hooray. This completed the filming for the CRIMSON – Kiss CF. Clean up was now in order for the crew. Nanami left to get a drink for Asami. How. Lovely. Masato made sure to zip up the front of Asami's leather jacket. He didn't want his girlfriend showing off too much skin to most of the males in the CF crew.
"You've become bold with your kisses," Asami smirked. She was seated beside Masato on a picnic bench. Her eyes twinkled with amusement, "I think you're getting used to the skin ship."
"I'm not the only one, who is becoming more bold through such intimate actions," Masato smiled, before taking a black strand of Asami's hair, he placed a light kiss on it, "Truthfully…- I'm marking the one I love."
Asami blushed. Dear. God. Those words spoken from Masato were totally unexpected.

Location: VxR Station; 10th floor, 'This is who I am' program
Time: 3:00 PM
Blue and white stage lights. The interior of an elaborate café was set up on stage. Selina Chou, the host of the program was seated across from Ren. The two were seated behind a round ebony table. Questions were asked. Answers were clear. The audience mainly consisted of young females, ages 17 – 45 years old. Oh. Boy. Giggles. Squeals. Hearts were floating in the air. Wow. Sure enough, the saxophonist was favored by all of the females in the audience. Thank. God. Yuudai was on the eighth floor of the building, far away from the noise.
"Here's a question that is probably on everyone's minds," Said Selina, holding a few cue cards in her right hand. A silver microphone occupied her other hand, "Have you ever thought about marriage?"
Ren smiled, holding a white microphone in his left hand, "Numerous times. I've thought about settling down with a 'lovely lady', who I could spend the rest of my life with. Truthfully, if I was married I would want to have children."
Oh. Wow. The audience cheered, liking the saxophonist's answer to the question. Selina waited for a moment for the audience to calm down, before continuing on to the next question.
"It sounds like you want to have a large family," Selina smiled, "Your future wife will be very lucky to have you by her side."
"I would spoil my future wife," Ren smirked, "She would be the only lady in my heart."

Location: S.S.A; Asami & Chi's dorm suite
Time: 5:00 PM
Chi, Nanami, and Tomochika were in the living room. Asami was fast asleep in her room. Earlier, Chi had wrapped a new bandage around Asami's right arm over the stitches. It was good to see that her injury was healing quite well.
"Essays should be banned from the academy!" Tomochika shouted, slamming a hand down on the coffee table. She was seated on the sofa beside Nanami. Chi was seated in a beanie chair.
Nanami sweat dropped, "Tomo-chan…- you sound stressed out."
"Uber stressed!" Tomochika sighed, typing away on her laptop, "All because of an assignment from English class. I have to type out a 20 paged essay."
Chi frowned, "It sounds like your teacher from English class really loves giving out a lot of homework."
"Now I know that I won't take another English class next term," Pouted Tomochika.

Time: 8:30 PM
"Gooood evening, to yooou allll!" Exclaimed Saotome, once he flamboyantly entered his office, "I've finally retuuurned!"
Hyuuga and Ringo sweat dropped. Yuudai shook his head, before returning his attention to a bunch of folders in his black briefcase. Dear. God. Saotome was dressed from head to toe in red and white clothing, including the fact that his red shirt stated 'I love Canada' on the front. He was even wearing a goofy looking foam hat, which was in the shape of the Canadian maple leaf.
"How was your vacation?" Asked Yuudai, clearly not surprised by the principal's flamboyant entrance and his choice of clothing.
Saotome smiled, "Excelllent, I haaad a wonderful timmme!"
"It's a good thing that you've returned," Hyuuga sat down on the sofa beside Ringo, "You need to sign a few papers."
Ringo handed a huge stack of papers to Saotome, "A lot of work has accumulated since you've been gone."
"Hmm…- interesting," Saotome glanced at a few of the papers in his hand, "Endorsement contracts."
Yuudai slightly smiled, "Those contracts are mainly for STARISH. You need to co-sign all of them."
Saotome sweat dropped. Oh. Dear. He was hoping to relax a bit after his return from Canada. Oh. Well. The paperwork needed to be signed. But…- he was the principal of his own academy. It wouldn't hurt to bend the rules a little.
"Forget about the contraaacts for now," Beamed Saotome, before setting the papers on his desk, "We need to discuuuss about an upcoming cammmping trip that I have in mind for EKSTASIS and STARISH!"
Hyuuga and Ringo sweat dropped. Another camping trip could only mean that Saotome had a few other surprises up his sleeves. Yuudai flipped open his black notebook, before writing a few words down on a page. He would need to buy a few camping necessities for Asami.
