Chapter Twenty
LoveMe Patient Zero... That was Lory's pet name for Ren/Kuon when he wasn't around. How on Earth was he going to get that boy and that girl together? Never mind that he didn't know they were already gradually taking care of that themselves. He also wanted Kuon to deal with his other issues. The issues that had caused him to come to Japan in the first place. Lory frowned at the thought. Lory tapped his pen on the desk next to the stack of papers that he had been looking over.
"Not sure I want him filming Tragic Marker on his own though. It would be bad if he lost his temper because of a role like this. Yashiro can't be there for him either. Hmmm, What to do?" Lory continued to look through the files, then giggled. "Perfect."
Honestly it didn't seem as though she had agreed at all with Amamiya-san or, Kotonami-san when they were critiquing the actors in the romance he had given them to watch. In fact it appeared as though she was becoming more receptive to it. Lory had entered the room quietly and found the LoveMe members two and three railing on and on about the injustices and falseness of the other actors as Kyoko sat quietly listening. "Ah-hem... ladies." He grabbed their attention and began the scolding. In the end, he was able to stealthily deliver their new LoveMe Missions. Kyoko had received a Dangerous Mission.
She would have to escort a new talent to Lory from the train station.
The tall, dark stranger that she had encountered, smelled like Ren and looked a bit like him, but he just scared the hell out of her. Her innermost thoughts were that he couldn't possibly be him. In the end he revealed himself to calm her as she sobbed pitifully, curled into a tiny ball.
As Ren sat in the office being scolded for revealing his identity to her, she was being briefed on her new character. The character that would be known as Setsuka Heel, Cain Heel's little sister. Flashy, stylish, confident, aloof and with a brother complex that would make all of Japan blush with embarrassment. Her brother would be her only priority. She was created for him and him only. Kyoko paled at the concept and what made it worse was the fact that she would have to dress like that. She had worn similar clothes as Chouko, but in her mind this was ridiculous. She was barely wearing anything at all. The skirt was too short, the top barely covered her breasts and the stockings brought too much attention to her legs. She did like the hair extensions though. The witch had bleached her hair out and given her extensions. At first she had been a bit against it but, Jelly Woods had shown her a wig similar to her original hair that she would be using during her down time from the mission. So with makeup on, icy blue contacts in and scandalous clothing on she was escorted back into Lory's office at LME.
I can't do this. She thought nervously as she tried to pull the skirt down a bit more. She then received a pep talk from Jelly as she stood quietly behind her. I can do this. She grinned mischievously and pulled the persona of Setsuka Heel into place, then strode out.
When she walked into the room or, should we say prowled like a panther? Yes... When she prowled into the room with a catlike grace, dressed in chains and leather, his breath hitched, his head felt as though it had been packed with cotton balls and his clothing became uncomfortably warm and tight. His mouth instantly dried and his throat tightened. His eyes glazed. He felt like he was on fire. The only sound that came from him was a distressed groan. How in hell was he supposed to survive being around her dressed and made up like this?
Lory snickered at his reaction. "So... Cain, meet your little sister." He paused for dramatic effect. "Setsuka Heel. She will be taking care of you during the filming. A talisman of sorts." He turned to Kyoko who at this point was deeply buried by Setsuka. "Isn't that so Setsuka-chan?"
She gave him a beatific smile and practically blinded Ren. "Of course." She breathed in a sultry tone.
"Setsuka, why don't you tell Cain what is important to you." Lory told her to make sure she was aware of her responsibilities.
"My brother is first, he comes second and third. He is my most important person Lory." She told him in perfect English. "I live only to make my brother happy and keep him safe." She sighed and in a sense it was true. That was the reason she was created, to take care of Cain and make him happy. (so he didn't kill anyone on the set).
The Ren part of him was stunned, the Kuon part of him was in hormonal overdrive and the Cain part of him was in heaven. To say he was conflicted would be an understatement, but Lory had made it very clear to him that he wouldn't be allowed to participate in this film unless he had some type of supervision and dragging Yashiro along was not an option, so he reluctantly accepted.
Her true test of Setsuka wouldn't be Ren's reaction but, the reaction of the people that observed them as they left the building as the most dangerous looking pair of siblings known to the acting world. All eyes fell to them, then focused solely only the blonde beauty with pink streaks clad in leather and chains, especially a pair of arrogant blue eyes that had been trying to gain access to his personal property without an appointment.
Sho Fuwa stood with eyes wide and mouth agape as the blonde goddess passed him, not once did he notice the hulking beast that she was almost surgically attached to, at least until he heard the words. "Fuck off Loser."
The little vixen looked up at her brother adoringly and wrapped her body more tightly to his arm. "Do you know him brother." She cooed to him and slowly blinked her eyes in a seductive way.
"No. Do you?" He asked.
She giggled. "Of course not Nii-san. Why would I know anyone that plain and boring."
Sho was stunned at what the little blonde bombshell had said and he understood every word.
Cain chuckled. "No, I suppose you wouldn't." He caressed her cheek and kissed her forehead. The Heel siblings were on their way and fully developed, now if he could just get her into some clothes that covered more of her body. "How about I take you shopping after we get to our room at the hotel? I'll get you anything you want."
Her face lit up. "Really Nii-san? Anything?"
He nodded and Sho, along with everyone else present at the time watched as the couple left through the large glass doors.
"Fuwa-san... Fuwa-san." The receptionist tried getting his attention back.
His head snapped to her.
"Fuwa-san you may make an appointment with her but, she won't be available for... hmm, another two weeks. She has Dark Moon filming, the filming of her new drama, classes and... Oh something on location out of country for the days in between." She told him.
"What the hell? That nobody can't possibly be that busy. You must be lying to me." He barked.
The receptionist was now getting very irritated and fed up with this little self-important singer. "Fuwa-san, I would suggest you stop insulting our talents and make a decision. If you don't want to make an appointment with her... then leave or, I will have security escort you out."
"Sho! What's taking you so long?" Aki Shoko barked at him. "I thought you were going to come and see Kyoko-chan then leave."
"Shoko... They won't let me see her without an appointment." He whined and the receptionist rolled her eyes.
"Are you Fuwa-san's manager?" She asked.
"Um, yes I am." Shoko told her.
The receptionist sighed. "Then please keep a better handle on your charge. If he wants to meet with Kyoko-chan, he will need to make a business appointment. Thank you." She finished by picking up the phone and turning away so that nothing else could be said.
"Sho... Let's go. You won't be able to see her today." She told him as she dragged him out by his arm.
