CHAPTER 74
I do not own SKIP BEAT! Yoshiki Nakamura does.
A wave?
On page 3 of Shinban Newspapers, a few days later:
Written by Seito-san, lotus mirrored-in-water seal assigned.
Tittle: How to end up on your knees in riots.
As you can see, right by the signature of the journalist is now figuring an odd stamp. Weird as may be, it isn't the first time it has been appearing in the press recently and more than a few readers have been inquiring about it. As boring as it might be, and despite the rumours circulating stating some incongruous things, the newspapers' replies were that is just a new design some journalists are allowed to assign to their pen-name when they write an article, so don't read too much into it.
I now let you with Seito-san magical plume and some interesting event. X.X
Shinban Tokyo is a serious newspaper and I, am what one might call a settled journalist talking about oh-so-very-important economic matters and dramatic events happening in our day-to-day life. Serious affairs. Business. Conceited and tedious would be other ways some people might qualify people and me that only treat subjects of the sort. On the verge of the present, though, some twinkling light had been shining on my huddled charcoaled and disabused heart. A new wind is blowing through my insides and shall-I-hope, everywhere outside of it too?
While my pragmatic mind would tend to bring me back to its usual bitter shelter, the evidence of this new wind is now always there to flow me away from it. And though I won't know if it is a meagre breeze or a storm before all is unveiled and happened, it is real.
As any old respectable bear like myself, you can expect we don't usually see much change anymore at our time; but it happened. And it's a fair coloured fresh air in this routine miasma this work is sometimes made of.
Strong of this new rush pulsing, I'm now feeling all too responsible to bring forward to my compeers a little of this new sparkle inhabiting me. A change that has for signification a switch into what I might cover in the future, and with the authorization of our editor from now on. All those convoluted babbles to say our paper will occasionally bring to the front more upbright events under my pen from now on. Between statistic numbers and tangled knots of politics.
Incongruous change, certainly.
Absolutely abscond for the future readers of this article, I'm afraid so. And I also fear you are bound to suspect me to have gone bonkers when you will see the subjects I'm about and will cover in the future. But in this case, I will ask you to give me a little credit in the names of all the years we spend together, me writing, and you reading, and in the name of the reputation of the paper I'm writing for. Second, I can assure without a once of a doubt, you will love the new affairs I will broach. And finally, while I know many will be frustrated by how much pretty words I used to hide behind, know it's totally on purpose.
An end cannot be told at the first chapter of a story, and this one should be fought for. As respectable as Shiban Tokyo journal is, I received expressed clearance to do the opposite of what a journalist is supposed to do for now: Serve the truth on a silver plate. So, for now, I will keep my secrets tight behind my pen. But the loyal readers of Shinban are not simple-minded spirits, I'm sure you will be able to guess it, with time. No need for me to tell anyone anything. And we, Japanese, are known for discretion and reading between the lines, are we not? So, how crude of me would it be to bluntly express things you probably already know. I wouldn't impose you that.
Now that it's settled, let's move on to more concrete matters. The article of today that will be the first to highlight less pompous subjects, we will say. But if you want a title, look up, you have it.
'The most ardent readers of entertainments magazines might know this already but in Hakone is happening the shooting of The Quest of The Living, the last movie in the making of Shingai-san who shall not be introduced anymore. Several renowned actors are part of his cast such as Ren Tsuruga, Oga-san and Kyoko-san. While the filming had been progressing steadily, some of you might already be aware some virus has done ravages over there during the last weeks of filming, delaying the shooting as most cast fell sick at some point or another.
While one would say it is far from the rejoicing news I nearly broadcast above, but wait, because it was truly a pleasure to go there.
I was sent in Hakone just a few days ago to report on the situation of the shooting and happened to be at the right place at the right time; lucky me.
I learned on the spot that amongst the people that fell sick, Kyoko-san had been one of them, which had most likely been kept under wraps until now, and also that none other than Tsuruga-san had been the one taking care of her at the time. But I was fortunate to know this only after interrogating some people working there. Was I to witness it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to tell. When I arrived, Miss Kyoko-san was already back to work, and fighting head-on against Tsuruga-san and Shingai-san to work to her fullest again. While the miserable men were trying to make her keep things light, while she was still recovering.
I, myself, might have come to the same conclusion based on her pale face and the tiredness ebbing away from her, but it was subtle enough for me to not notice it right away. This young woman is a force of the nature, let me tell you, though. She would not relent for anything. And she was giving Tsuruga-san the cold-shoulder for not letting her work to her heart's content, as he would have been the one to snitch away to Shingai-san, to be sure she wouldn't go back full force. "How sneaky of you, Tsuruga-san, really," I wouldn't have thought him capable of such a thing. Which the lady rightly didn't appreciate, as you might expect. If anyone already feels a little like cracking up, please lift your hand. I wanted to, personally.
Pardon me if I go into more details than you would otherwise find needed but I think you might better appreciate the whole picture, for entertainment's purpose. And fortunately for me and for the future readers of this paper, the set was full of loud whispers about it when I was allowed in, which gave me plenty of material.
So, here I found myself, coming to report on the well-being of the cast and filming situation, only to notice most people had already recovered or were on the verge on, when I'm witnessing another "argument" between our famous bachelor and Kyoko-san. Tsuruga-san, who was mostly fretting over her at the time, pleading with her to give it a rest.
And in the same line of this argument, the following display proceeded.
A scene with acrobatics with Kyoko-san was scheduled soon when I witnessed her stumble during a short break, and Tsuruga-san, who had been trying to convince her to take a proper break for a while after noticing countless bouts of tiredness from the actress – which expectedly retained some drowsiness and easy fatigue after catching the virus –, seemed to finally had lost his calm after seeing that. Because the collected Tsuruga-san raised his voice at her, and soon he had the director convinced to report the scene to later in the evening and to let the actress rest. To the outrage of Kyoko-san, who had apparently convinced Shingai-san to let her do it just earlier. She was furious. Even shaking like a leave, she still wanted to continue, and wanted to chop Tsuruga-san's head off for not minding his business.
They argued, and I sincerely think only their usual politeness prevented them to raise their voices even more. But while not everything could be heard, you could see the deep concern of Tsuruga-san for actress a mile away from there, and though I could agree with the actress's irritation over the decision being made for her, I could understand Tsuruga-san concern and reaction. Especially after seeking more information on the scene they were supposed to act. Some slightly risky cascade it was.
In either case, our famous actor didn't let her argue more, and under the whole cast and myself, he lifted her in his arms and set on in the direction of a place where she could rest.
Under the loud, this time, protests of Kyoko-san as she continued to argue to be put down.
You can only imagine the scene in your head right now. But seeing it as yourself as the time, I had my sides shaking with repressed laughs.
But I think what finished us all were the bits we heard as Tsuruga-san brought her to some resting area.
In short and concise three points. Tsuruga-san was renamed as a rat for going behind her back. He ordered her to nap. She hissed at him. Yes, like a feline would do. I had never seen the actor so wholeheartedly laughing before, he had a hard time keeping himself upright with her still caged in his arms so hard his throttles were. Neither did I ever laugh like that before, for that matter.
It was the most hilariously cute thing I had seen in years, if ever.
Naturally, she was deadly embarrassed at her helpless reaction, which only heightened the mirth of anyone that had the pleasure of witnessing this.
And me? A be-respectable man of past fifty years old; well, that very man ended up gasping for air on his knees at the end of this.
After that, Kyoko-san had seemed to cave, and reluctantly accepted to lie down after Tsuruga-san had placed a cover on her shoulders. Naturally, she was out in five seconds, sleeping deeply. And our famous bachelor had sat down by the side of the sofa, and breathed a sigh. He looked tired.
Below, you will have several pictures I managed to capture between fits of giggles. There is one where he is lifting her. Another where she is arguing with him to be put down. One where he is laughing his lungs out, just after she hissed at him, still in his arms. Another, just after he sat down and she fell asleep. And one last one where he left and she is peacefully sleeping.'
Now, tell me it's not the cutest thing you ever saw. Because, besides kittens, I can't see anything better.
Some people might plaster this as idle gossip, but while I would still argue this point, if it is, at the very least it's positive one. The usual understanding of gossiping isn't associate with positiveness. So, can we really state this as gossip?
My new line of articles would be as I said above, to bring some brighter things to the upfront, and what can be brighter than a beautiful friendship? To see our otherwise lone wolf of a famous bachelor caring for his friend, and arguing with such an ease and natural that it makes you wonder where disappeared the distant facade of Tsuruga Ren we used to be familiar with.
Of course, I know the concern some fans of Tsuruga-san might have. I understand. But, despite how cute they look together, they both stated it, they are only friends. So let us enjoy the beauty they are offering us. Because such a cuteness isn't that common, and I don't think we would have been able to see this side of Tsuruga-san without his friendship with Kyoko-san.
I hope it will warm up your heart like it did for mine.
Beautiful and good things should be highlighted and noticed, and I said I would do it now. So, I will.
Seito-san.
Ps: For the ones who will worry about Kyoko-san's state, she is alright. This virus was just the kind that goes for the lungs thus the lingering fatigue and the – overabundant- worry of Tsuruga-san. But she will be alright in no time, so, don't worry too much.
Pictures below.
Several pictures followed, all more enchanting than the others, but if Lory had been in full sniggers and glowing like a lighthouse by the middle of the article, he howled in chortles when he saw those pictures. He couldn't stop. He was going to frame those pictures. In golden and pink ribbons. As a memory token of how hilariously idiotic, they had been.
The journalist had surpassed himself, and the best part seemed to be, he had been sincere through and through.
He was going to send him a letter of gratitude. With a sweet basket. He also needed to thank the little Irina-san again. She had really convinced Seito-san. The embittered journalist who Lory had known for years for his professionalism but also for his disillusioned self, had just turned a new leaf. But it was the visit at Hakone that had sold the deal. If they had won the Seito-san over to their side, from such a serious journal – to the point of getting a chronic to talk about merry-happy things – (Lory cackled at the unthinkable thought), they would win the whole press. All the fans. No one would have a chance to resist. Not after this. The old grumpy man talking about friendship! Lory still couldn't believe it. Pfff … and words he, as always, had so carefully chosen.
That was better than what he could ever have imagined.

#Welcome to RenHeart.
2.a.m: Ren4ever:
Did you see it? Did you see it?! Did you see it?!
2:01:RenHeart:
How are you here before me? (laughing smiley) When did you create an account? I was less against this than you the last time we talked.
2:01: Ren4ever:
It's not my fault! Their cuteness is against the law! I cave faster than a crashing plane after seeing the last pictures.
2:01: RenHeart:
What pictures?
2:02: Ren4ever:
Oh gosh. Poor soul.
2:02: FirstnewfanofR&K #Admin:
My-my, but welcome RenHeart to our new curse. R4ever is right, we should pity you. I don't, though. Just wait and see.
2:03: Renfan46, Renfan79, Renfan99, Renfan33, Renfan16, Renfan2, Rensweetheart and DamnRen just created an account, welcome to them.
2:03: SexyRenfan:
Ren4ever, I did, don't remind me. And hello to all the newcomers. Something tells me it's going to pour down in here in the following days. (Sweat smile) And wow, it seems there are more than a few oldies coming now, based on the low numbers associated.
2:04: Ren4ever:
What do you mean?
2:04: SexyRenfan:
This is a subdivision of the worshipping-shrine forum as both are held on the same site. Firstnewfan have said she would create a private site but in the meanwhile, we are sharing the same. Which means, most fans will have the same pseudonym they have on the main forum, though you can change it for this specific forum. So seeing some fans with pretty low numbers associate with their names means they are some of the fans from the first hour.
2:05: Renfan2:
Indeed. I was there at the creation of the forum. I'm now with children so I wasn't around for a long while. But finally, something exciting is happening so I got out of my lurking.
2:05: Rensweetheart:
I was there at the beginning too.
2:06: Renfan16:
Me too.
2:06: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
*Smirking. I knew it. I'm an oracle. I don't give a damn if I'm bragging but I knew people would rally to see it the same way, hehehe. So excited.
And welcome to everyone. It's such an honour to see majestic fan oldies joining the hype!
2:07: Ren4ever:
Annnd she is showing off again…
2:07: Renfan2:
She deserves it, don't you think? She smell the smoke before everyone else. We can grant her that. *Bowing to that intuition of yours.
2:07: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
Awww… It's too much. No need to flatter me this much. Plus, I'm only the first to catch on officially.
2:08: Renfan2:
How come?
2:08:FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
We have an inside man or girl (I don't know) in the place. LMEshallnotbenamedshipper. That person saw more smoke long before we did.
2:08: CrazyForNumberOne:
SexyRenfan. Wait, you can change it?! One second, testing.
2:09: CrazyForNumberOne changed its name to CrazyForGoldenShip.
2:09: SexyRenfan:
*Laughing. Glad you figured that out. I didn't know we had a man in the place. Seriously? How old it actually is?
2:09: Renfan2:
It's not really surprising though when you think about it.
2:10: SexyRenfan:
No. But I'm so curious.
2:10: Renfan2:
Understandable. How else could it be?
2:10: RenHeart:
Can someone explain to me this thing about pictures?!
2:11: Ren4ever:
Snort. Yes, please. I'm dying to talk about it!
2:11: Renfan2:
What pictures?
2:11: DamnRen:
Yes, what pictures?
2:12: SexyRenfan:
Wait, none of you joined after reading the article?
2:12: Renfan2:
No. What article?
2:12: DamnRen:
Never heard of it.
2:12: RenSweetheart:
I saw the pictures in Hush-hush that had taken it from another paper but I didn't know there was an article.
2.13:LMEshallnotbenamedshipper:
Someone rang?
Oh. Hi, FirstnewfanofR&K. And yes, you are absolutely right. There have been signs for years now…
2:13:DamnRen:
Years?
2:13: Renfan2:
Years?!
2:13: SexyRenfan:
WTF does that mean? Years?! Please develop before I hyperventilate.
2:13: LMEshallnotbenamedshipper:
Sorry, I'll explain another time. See you around. (quirked up smile)
LMEshallnotbenamedshipper has left the chat.
2:13: SexyRenfan:
He just left like that, I can't believe it. My answers and sleep, RIP!
2:14: CrazyForGoldenShip:
Dear lord… I leave for two minutes and now look at this. I'm going to die from curiosity.
2:14: RenHeart:
Me too. But I'm still waiting for a reply about the pictures.
2:14: Ren4ever:
Right. Let ring our dear plotter of admin, she will post the article again if we ask nicely. FirstnewfanofR&K.
2:15:FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
Oh right. I figured most people would have access to it or already know. I will post it again here for now. But for the future, I will create a topic for pictures and links.
2:15: RenHeart:
Thank you.
2:15: Ren4ever:
You should wait before saying that.
2:15: SexyRenfan:
Indeed.
2:16: Renfan2:

WHATTHEFUCKINGHELL IS THIS?! Did this really happen?! OMG! .GOD. She hissed like a cat! Ohmygod! Can't talk more, sidescsk hurts.
2:24: Ren4ever:
Snickers.
2:25: RenSweetheart:
Holly molly! Who is this? Who is this handsome adorable guy laughing with stars in the eyes?! This not Tsuruga fucking Ren. He is laughing so freely!
2:25: DamnRen:
Their cuteness is murdering me. Since when was Ren-kun able to make such an expression?! Polite unreachable man, my ass! He is totally teasing her. And so shamelessly with that. *Laughing hysterically* and she fucking hissed at him! Can you believe this?!
2:25: Ren4ever:
Right? Right?! Buahahaha
2:25: Renfan16:
Holly cow. Look at his face. At his joy. They are too cute, Kyaaaa….
2:25: Renfan33:
Am I on the right fandom? I think I mistook it with another one worshipping a relaxed man … (laughing smileys x 5)
2:25: Renfan46:
I can't believe how cute and at ease they are together.
2:26: RenHeart:
*Barely calming down. I need to see more of this side of him. No, I need to see more them. I need it. Give it to me!
2:26: CrazyForGoldenShip:
YES! We need it! I demand it!
2:26: DamnRen:
We all demand it.
2:28: Renfan2:
*Clearing her throat* Ahem. *Back after screaming too much, which woke up my little one. So I had to tuck him back in. This is not the same man I started to be a fan of years ago. He never laughed, barely smiled if only for the interviews or when acting.
2:28: DamnRen:
I fully agree. He is so different. And God, Kyoko-san is so funny and cute. Seriously, this needs to happen.
2:28: Rensweetheart:
Agreed. I wonder why it hadn't yet.
It's not like he was missing charm or sex appeal, am I right or am I right? (sneaky smile)
Ten laughing smileys were left on Rensweetheart last comment.
2:29: Renfan2:
I will only say one thing: I'm going to riot if it doesn't.
2:30:DamnRen:
Do you think he needs a little help?
Thirty people have left laughing and hysteric smileys on DamnRen comment.
2:31: CrazyForGoldenShip:
I approve.
2:31: Renfan2:
I wonder… I think we should be cautious… Intervening in this is something else altogether than shipping them.
2:32: DamnRen:
You're right. It wouldn't be right if we messed things up.
2:32: Ren4ever:
Wiseness is talking and its showing. I would be tempted to be far more rash.
2:33: Renfan2:
But a question did pop up in my mind.
Do you think she is his first love?
2:34: SexyRenfan:
Oh. I did think about this too. It might explain some things. Though we are mostly speculating.
2:35: Renfan2:
I'm so impatient so see it unfold but we have to be patient and hope for the best for our dear Ren-kun.
2:35: DamnRen:
Yes, let's be patient and see how this plays out.
2:36: Ren4ever:
Let's hope.
2:36: RenSweetheart:
Let's cross fingers for the sake's of our Ren's heart.
2:37: RenHeart:
Let's hope.
2:40: CrazyForGoldenShip:
I'm still half-dead from the pictures and that article.
2:40: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
We all are, don't worry. You are not alone in the suffering. Sexyfan and I have been in recovering mode since the day before yesterday now. There is just too much cuteness to handle calmly.
But lordy, what a puddle of goo fans do I discover now two minutes after posting it. You are even plotting to help our lord to get her! I like the way you all think, buahaha.
2:41: RenSweetheart:
You dropped a bomb on us all. Did you really expect us to stay calm after this?!
2:41:FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
*Smirk*. I didn't. But I do have a proposition.
Is anyone interested to go do some recruiting?
2:42: Renfan2:
*lifted a curious brow as she smells a devious plan* What do you mean?
2:42: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
I'm planning to go back to the main shrine for a little while.
2:42: SexyRenfan:
Oh no… You evil creature! (laughing smiley)
2:43:FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
And post both pictures and article there.
2:43: Renfan2:
You are planning to just drop this bomb on them?
2:43: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
YUP.
I told you it was recruiting. So anyone interested in coming with me?
2:44: Ren4ever:
Your own special brand of hell recruitment then.
2:45: CrazyForGoldenShip:
So sadistic. They don't stand a chance. I'm on. (hilarity smiley)
2:45: RenHeart:
I need to sleep so I won't but I approve. Poor souls, though. After just living it, I know oh-so-well what an earthquake it can be.
2:45: SexyRenfan:
You are the demon. But I'm on. I need to see this. Buahaha.
2:46: Renfan2:
My sides hurt. It's a coup d'état*! I love it!*Cackling devilishly*.
How do you expect them to resist?
2:46: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
Snickers*. It is. But the polite form is recruitment. And I don't expect them to be able to. That's what counting on actually. Cuteness is irresistible.
2:47: Renfan2:
Cruel but efficient. I'm on. I have influence as an oldie, I need to be there.
2:48: FirstnewfanofR&K#Admin:
Hmmm… A ratio of three people+ me seems good. More and it would appear suspicious and overbearing anyway. It might be a coup (giggles) and cruel but pressuring people by excessive number of people wouldn't be right. It would just look like we are forcing people to see it our way. Plus, it might backfire.
2:50: SexyRenfan:
Agreed.

Matsushima laughed. That was insane. They were so passionate about this. Seito-san had launched something much bigger he certainly thought it would be, he bet.
And they were, because at the end of the day when he checked his phone before slipping into his bed, there were 5 thousand people on the new forum. He shook his head in merriment. If only the principal concerned could be as proactive as his fans.
In any case, he thought, now, he definitely needed to talk to Yashiro-san about this.

Kyoko rushed to the cafe. She was having lunch with Jake today. It has been two days since she came back to Tokyo. Her last few days of shooting had gone well. Especially once Ren had finally stopped messing with her work and let her go back to normal. Though, okay, on the moment, even though pissed, she had been glad for the gained time of rest she had had. She had needed it, she knew. Not that what Ren did, had been correct nonetheless. But she could still be grateful. And, at last, she didn't get exhausted for no reason anymore. She was back to normal.
She found the table Jake was sitting at, and swiftly slipped herself in the opposite seat after a quick hello and an apology for making him wait.
PS: Hello guys. Look what we have here. Surprisingly. ^^
I had a lot of fun writing this and i hope you all will too. Two or so more chapters before the skip trip. Then, a few more chapters, then last big arc. And then final arc of part two of this story. You will have to tell me if i continue on the same posting folder when i reach Part 3 of this story or if I write it as if it was a new story. As part 3 is special. Anyway, we still have a fair share to go before that time.
But in the meantime, enjoy. It was so so hilarious to write. Well, but it's me, as i'm always plotting. Plotting-plotting.
I know some of you might wonder where i'm going with all of this but don't worry, everything is planned out. I have it all mapped-out, LOL. But i won't tell you. Hehehe. So, you just have to follow the little crumbles i drop and hope you don't loose your way on the journey. Totally sadistic, i know.
Happy beginning of December and advent time again, and lot of hugs and kisses.
Reviews are food, feed me.
