Any English spoken by the characters will be in BOLD!

"You should have told me I'd being going on vacation!" Ren said a little miffed.
Lory shrugs and replies. "It was a surprise! What's the point in telling!"
Ren sighs in defeat and massages the bridge of his nose. "So what's the rest of this elaborate plan?" He asks not really sure if he's ready for the answer.
Lory smiles brightly and pushes the two closer together. "Now it's time for action! Right through the front entrance!"
Ch. 9
Lory smiles big at the two all decked in black and attitude, when the scene before him falls apart. Kyoko's Setsuka mask falls and the freaking out Kyoko is set free, the thought of walking into public and on national television like this. Mortifying. Ren notices her drop of character as her face turns a bright red and she pulls at her skirt feeling exposed.
"We'll be right back..." Ren says and gently puts his hand in hers, walking her out of the office into the hallway. When they stop he doesn't let go of her hand.
"What did you use to model your character?" Ren asks when her eyes meet his.
Kyoko describes the actress from Ashes Fall and Ren nods his familiarity.
"Does she have anything in common with you, the woman you've created?" Kyoko thinks about it a minute and shakes her head no.
"She can do things I wouldn't feel comfortable doing myself." Kyoko replies looking at her mini skirt and fighting the urge to pull it down lower.
"Are some of those things, things you wish you could do with confidence?" Ren asks tilting his head. Kyoko looks down at her fingers as she worries the fabric of the hem of her skirt. She nods a solemn yes. She would love to have the confidence to meet with people in public in this fashion and show a different side of herself.
"A little tip, every actor does this at the beginning. You need to connect with the person you're creating and once you have staying in character will not be a problem." He gives Kyoko a slight smile, a wink and squeezes her hand in encouragement and lets go.
"I'll give you some time to create again and then we'll charge the proverbial gates." He returns to Lory's office and waits with the President.
"She'll be ready in a minute." Lory nods and goes to his desk calling security.
"Tama-chan in a few minutes two people will come down please escort them through the crowd into the waiting car."
"Yes, Mr. President." Tama responds and they hang up.
Lory's office doors open and it's like the President says action. Ren is instantly Cain, dark and ominous but a soft look at his beloved sister; with a pension to smoke which he illustrates by lighting one in his office as if it's common place and he smokes constantly. Once more Setsuka strides up to Cain with confidence and a playful look in her eyes. She laces her arm through his and makes a playful pouty face at her big brother.
"Are you done here yet, I wanna go play?"Cain leans down to her eye level and moves a stray hair gently back behind her ear.
His deep voice in English hovers over the room like a foreign sound as he speaks to his sister.
"Yeah, we're finishing up, Setsu." He says as he blows the inhaled smoke to the side not to bother her.
Setsu rolls her eyes at her chain smoking brother but the nickname secretly pleases her. Putting everyone else at a distance as it should be.
President Lory beams at his creations and dismisses them. They walk out his double doors arm in arm. He turns his television screens on to watch the show. Jelly walks up to his side and places her hand in his.
"Great job sweetheart." Lory says softly as he leans down and kisses her on her forehead. Jelly blushes and leans into his side sighing contently.
Back on the elevator, Cain and Setsu are making plans.
"We should go shopping, I haven't gotten to spoil you on this trip." Cain says secretly wanting her to change into some pants to keep her non-stop legs to himself.
Before Setsuka can answer the elevator doors open to the first floor revealing the mobs at the front doors and the empty hall guarded by a few doormen. Cain feels Setsu straighten her posture and she clenches his arm closer to her, his arm grazing the side of her breast. He glances down and see her eyes focused at the front door, a look of determination and possession challenging every woman out there. Cain's menacing aura sends chills down the spines of the doormen as they pass and they hurriedly open the door to the odd siblings. Wondering if that was truly who they were supposed to allow out.
The women and news crews instantly crowd the doors thanks to the security glass not knowing who's exiting, and just as quickly realize their mistake. The menacing tall and dark figure of a man with jet black eyes that challenges every man who glances toward his beloved sister is clearly not Japan's number one actor. And the steaming hot blonde with pink highlights inGothic rocker fashion giving the evil eye to any woman looking at her precious brother too long is not that messy girl who he likes.
Feeling too crowded Setsuka clearly addresses the group in English.
" Can you people move, we're trying to get through." She raises an eyebrow in inquiry. The crowd disperses like the Red Sea for them to depart undeterred and left behind by the odd couple the crowd continues to wait at the door none the wiser.
Up in his office, Lory laughs and turns the screens off, the painting which once hid them sliding back in place.
"Too easy. Have fun kids." He says aloud.
A/N: Hope you guys liked it! I'm having some issues with writers block so please don't be too mad it's taken so long. I won't promise anything for the next chapter but I'll do what I can, like always.
Love, Your Writer.
