Chapter 4

Murasame taps his foot in agitation as he looks at his watch. The set up for Tragic Marker scene is still being prepared but that is no cause for that perverted guy to be late. Despite him and his sister being perverted and weird, he is still a great actor. Fuckin' pisses me off. Just makes me realize how inadequate my acting skills are. Makes me want to improve on myself so that I will be an equal opponent to him.

Murasame hears the clank of heels and the footfalls of heavy boots. He glances over towards the sound. The sounds belonged to no one other than the Heel siblings, holding hands as they march through the building.

Internally, Kyoko is angry at herself for not getting the proper amount of sleep last night. She wanted to catch up with her long lost friend so much, she forgot about the nightly ritual a common human has to do. She only fell asleep from pure exhaustion for 3 hours. I suppose I kept Kuon up to with all my pestering as well. It's going to be okay though. He is a remarkable actor. He acted through being sick that one time. I'm sure today is going to be same as then. I just have to do the same.

Cain stopped and gently tugged on Setsu's hand to urge her close. "I'm going to make up sister. Wait for me" he said in a deep voice.

"Of course brother. I'll get us some refreshments." Setsu turns to head towards the drink table but Cain's hand refused to let her go. Setsu faces her brother with an inquisitive glare.

"No kiss goodbye?" Cain bends down slightly as Setsu plants a gentle kiss on his cheek. A gloved hand pets Setsu's hair as Cain enjoys the brief contact, a warm sensation growing from the spot where her lips touches his skin. After the moment was over, Cain turned and marched off to make up. If I stayed any longer, I would have surely slipped up this role.

Murasame can't believe what he just saw. Those perverted siblings were at it again with their weird display of public affection. So sickening! I suppose I can't do anything about it though. Can't have another mishap on set.

"Why are you upset Murasame?" Manaka asks. "Could it be about Cain-san again?"

"Is it that obvious? I dislike the guy all the way down to my core!"

"Are you sure Murasame? I see that you have an actual fondness of him."

"You're reading it wrong Manaka-chan! It is dislike I tell you! I'm going to become a real first rate actor so he has to respect me!"

Manaka looks blankly at Murasame as if she didn't understand a word he said. Then from the corner of her eye, she saw a tall, black hooded figure coming this way. "Ah! Cain-san!" She yells out with a ridiculous grin on her face.

The hooded figure ignores her call and continues walking until he is in front of his sister. "Missed me, sister?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?" Setsu replied. She hears the annoying girl squeal out her brother's name again. Setsu barely turns her head to glare at the stupid girl.

Manaka clings to Cain's arm, hooking one arm through his, tugging on him while saying in Japanese, "Have you eaten yet? We got a lot of food here. What do you like? Sandwich? Sushi?"

Cain looks down at Manaka in disgust. "Can this girl really be this emmental?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Maybe if you took the time to learn English, you would know what I said!" Cain yanks his arm out of the girls arm. Setsu immediately wedges in between the two and pushes Manaka off her feet and sends her falling to the hard floor. The girl looks up at the strange siblings, dazed about why she was shoved away like trash.

Setsu stands tall and strong as she glares down at the stupid girl. "Listen well, little girl" Setsu warns in a menacing tone. "Don't ever touch my brother again. This man is mine."

Arms draped in black come from behind Setsu and wrap around her stomach as a large male body is pressed against her back. Setsu could feel his warm breath against her cheek as the man says, "You are mine as well." Cain flashes a predatory smile.

The siblings walk hand in hand down the hotel hallway, Cain deep in thought as they shuffled along. Cain glances at the girl leading the way, her pink and blond hair lightly bouncing along to her footsteps. For some reason, her portrayal of Setsu has changed. All day after that incident, she has been putting forth an effort to monopolize Cain more; sitting on my lap, hand feeding me and the like. Could it be her personal feelings to me be affecting her character?

Setsu lets go of the man's hand to retrieve the room key. A quick swipe and she is allowed to open the door. She opens the door and enters into the room only a couple steps in before she was pushed against the wall. Kuon kicks the door shut before settling in closer to Kyoko, a hand resting on the wall at her shoulder. "Your Setsu changed. Why?"

Kyoko has a flat face on, not comprehending what he means. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Oh yeah?" Kuon gets closer, his face merely a couple inches away from Kyoko's. "You can't tell me you haven't noticed? You were monopolizing me all day. Not to mention you pushed Manaka."

"Oh? That?" Kyoko jitters out.

"Yes, that."

"Well, um… you see. I didn't know I was doing it. All I could feel was…" Damn it. I don't even know what I was feeling. It was a weird sensation that I felt the need to just… to mark him as my own.

Kuon smirks. "The need to mark me as yours?"

A blush overtakes Kyoko's face. It's like he hit the head on the nail. "Um… yeah."

Kuon's expression turns to that of the Emperor of the Night. "Good. I have that same feeling." He leans in closer and kisses Kyoko's cheek lovingly, his warm breath tickling her ear, sending shivers throughout her body.

"Kuon? What are we?"

Kuon looks down at her confused. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, are we friends or are we more?" Even now, she doesn't want to say it.

"I thought we were boyfriend and girlfriend now. Am I mistaken?"

"Er,… No, you're not but is that what you want the public to know?"

A stupid grin is plastered on Kuon's face. "I want the entire world to know that I love you but it honestly depends on what you want, Kyoko." Kuon gently holds her hand in his. "I'd do anything to make you happy."

Sorry it took so long to finish this chapter. First, I had finals and second, I went through several possible story ideas until I landed on this one. Next chapter will come soon, shortly after Christmas I would say. Creative juices are flowing like crazy. Until next time, ciao!
