Kyoko walked quickly down the hall towards the elevator not paying much attention to her surroundings. The heels that wardrobe had put on her clacking against the tile flooring with each step echoing though the empty corridor. The role was something new to her and the president forced her in it, though she was enjoying the makeup and clothes that made her feel like a princess, but she had to fall in love. A grimace crossed her face as she stepped on the elevator and pressed the 8th floor. The door closing she continued to study the script as she felt the lift go up.
She noticed the elevator slow and heard the mechanical female voice "3rd floor" and she stepped to the back of the elevator not even glancing to see who had stepped in with her until she heard a male voice clearing his throat. Kyoko glanced up from the script and saw icy blue eyes staring down at her. Realization crossed her face as she saw that it was Sho. She looked left then right looking for an exit, but she was trapped. '4th floor' the voice announced.
Uggghhh, could this thing please go quicker Kyoko thought to herself. "what are you doing here?" she asked, disgust dripping from her voice.
"A job of course." Sho replied angerly. He was working on a new project trying to break into acting and his company had landed him a major role of a man who loved the female lead but was ultimately the second male lead which he wasn't happy about, but he wanted to get into acting and this was the next best thing to the main lead.
Sho noticed Kyoko wearing a flowing dress that made her look even more innocent than when she was in his PV. Her hair was still chestnut color but it was much longer, he could tell it wasn't a wig but extensions. Her makeup was flawlessly done very light and bringing out her natural beauty. Her golden eyes staring at him in anger like molten gold.
Suddenly the elevator jerked to a stop, Sho reached out and grabbed Kyoko to his chest to stop her from falling to the floor. "Shit!" he said "the elevator is broken"
Kyokos senses were all over the place, first seeing Sho, then the elevator coming to a stop, and now she found herself wrapped in Sho's arms. When she realized what was going on she could feel the spirits swirling around herself in self preservation and anger. She pushed him away from her which he quickly let go and they ended up as far away from each other as the space would allow. "what the hell Shotaro!" She shrieked.
"There has got to be a button or a phone somewhere on this stupid thing." Sho said ignoring her and looking towards the panel by the door. He found the call button and pressed it. "Hello?" He said still holding the call button. "Is there anyone there? This is Sho Fuwa and I'm stuck in the elevator, send someone as quickly as possible."
A husky male voice answered "Yes Sir, we see there is a problem with your elevator, we are trying to get help as soon as we can. Are you hurt Mr. Fuwa? Is there anyone with you, and if so are they okay?"
"No, I'm fine, and there is another person here, she seems to be fine as well." Sho answered looking over to see a flash of panic cross Kyoko's face. "How long until we are out of here?"
"I have no ETA at the moment Mr. Fuwa, but trust me when I say that we will have you two out as soon as we can. So please sit tight. If anything happens or you need anything use the call button." The voice said politely.
"Great! I'm stuck here with you! Why couldn't I be stuck with a tall busty blonde instead." Sho said looking at Kyoko.
Kyoko started panicking, she was going to be late her first day on set and she hadn't even met her co-stars yet. She knew one already but he knew her as Setsu and she was already worried that he would recognize her from her Love Me gig. She pulled out her phone to call the director and let him know that she was going to be late, and she would be there as soon as she could, but realized she had no signal. Great, what a wonderful first impression She thought to herself. She looked over at Sho who was now sitting on the elevator floor by the call button staring at her. She didn't want his help but needed to get in touch with someone on the production team. She sucked up her pride and asked, "By chance do you have a signal in here?"
Sho looked at his phone and just shook his head. Kyoko lifted her arm up with her phone moving throughout the small space looking for a signal.
"Just give up Kyoko, your in a metal box, the equivalent of a faraday box, you aren't going to get a signal in here. Sit down, you look absolutely absurd." Sho told her, but he was secretly enjoying seeing her panicked. The only time he ever saw her like this was when He and Ren crossed paths. The thought of Ren prickled his skin. Sho knew that Ren had a thing for Kyoko, though it seemed as she was oblivious, which didn't surprise him, as smart as she was, she was a fool when it came to feelings.
Kyoko put her arm down and glared at Sho. "You have no idea how bad this is! What if I get kicked before I even get to meet my co-stars?" Kyoko said in a waiver of defeat. Though thinking about it, she really didn't even want to star in this drama but once the script crossed President Takrada's desk she couldn't back out of it. The only thing she knew of love was the hurt of heartbreak, and the cause of her hurt was staring at her and she couldn't even escape.
Sho watched her as she sat down on the farthest side dropping the script in front of her, she placed her face in her hands mumbling to herself. He looked at the script and shock crossed his face as he read the name 'Dreams of Summer' Sho scrambled to her and grabbed the script and started flipping through it. Kyoko tried to snatch it out of his hands but he just stood up and held it over his head still flipping through the pages scarcely noticing Kyoko jumping to try to take it back from him, nor was he paying attention to anything she was shouting. He finally got to a page and noticed highlights and notes written in the familiar handwriting, very neat and feminine writing that was Kyokos that he had grown up reading.

There were other notes about the characters but once he saw Kyoko's name he didn't care to read any further. He was in shock, his first debut on the big screen and he had to work opposite of the woman that hated him most in the world. He wasn't sure if this was his lucky day or his worse nightmare. He had to act in love with her, he had to act as they were best friends. Could the two even do that? He handed Kyoko the script and she snatched it out of his hand mumbling and going back to her corner to pout and steam over his actions. He would never admit it out loud but he found it cute.
Walking over to the panel he pressed the call button again. "Excuse me, but is there any update about us getting out of here?" Sho asked hoping there was some one on the other side and with answers.
"Mr Fuwa, this is the building manager, we have someone on the way to repair the elevator but we are still unsure of an ETA at this point."
Sho sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "Then could you please let Director Muto that his actors Sho Fuwa and Kyoko Mogami are stuck in an elevator and will be late."
Kyoko's head snapped up and she stared at Sho in shock her mouth agape. Sho smirked at her and she quickly shut her mouth and glared at him. This might just turn out to be a lot of fun. He thought seeing all of the expressions cross Kyoko's face.
