Chapter One

Kyoko Mogami paced nervously in front of the huge door. She scanned her memory trying to find anything that would have sent her here. The sectary outside of the door picked up the phone and then smiled at the pacing girl.

"The President is ready for you." The secretary said, and the doorman opened the door for her. Kyoko entered the peculiar room; half of the room was a Greek temple, (which was said to change, depending on what Lory was wearing.) The other half was a normal office, well as normal as Lory Takarada could get. She saw Ren Tsuruga sitting in front of Lory, who was wearing a toga.

"Ahhh, Kyoko you're here!" Lory said smiling, Kyoko was extremely worried now. If the President is smiling nothing good is going to happen. Kyoko thought to herself.

"I have received a letter asking for the two of you to be in a new T.V Show." The President said smiling. The two sat listening. "But in order for you two to be in it you would have to take some training from a girl in Australia."

"Excuse me but why in Australia?" Ren asked trying to think what this part might need that he didn't know.

"They young lady that I would be sending you to used to be in show biz, and I think I left her alone long enough." Lory said and both actors cringed for the young lady. "Now I will give you the training time to accept or decline. Here is a description of the story. Your plane will be leaving Today at 2:30 p.m."

"Wait what about Box R?" Kyoko said "And Mr. Tsuruga busy schedule?" She added.

"They are already clear. While in Australia, you will also be practicing Cain and Setsu Heel. Your shooting for that will start 3 days after you return." Lory said. After the director had seen Setsu he almost immediate wrote in a part for her. "Your host already knows this some days she might accompany you. You should now go home and start packing. You have .3hours to get your things." Lory said waving them out.

"He makes it so we have no choice." Kyoko said. Looking at the description

A small group of people with special powers band together to stop crime

Kyoko's eyes widened at the fantasy idea of the whole thing.

"Miss. Mogami would you like a ride home?" Ren asked.

"No it would cause you too much trouble." Kyoko immediately said.

'Would I have offered if it would be a trouble? Besides it is probably a 30 minute walk to the restaurant and that only leaves you around 2 and half hours to pack and tell everyone were your going." Ren said leading her to his car.

"Well if you put it that way." Kyoko said getting in to his car. "So what do you think of this offer?" Kyoko asked to get some conversation going.

"It sounds interesting; it sounds different from what I usually do." Ren said, "And what do you think?" He asked and he nearly lost his Ren cover when she started talking about it with that dreamy look on her face. The ride to the restaurant seemed to take next to no time.

"Miss. Mogami I'll pick you up in about an hour to get to the airport okay?" Ren said, as Kyoko got out and nodded before Ren sped off to his apartment. Kyoko entered the house and found out that Tashori and Okama (?) Had been already been told about the trip, and hurried to pack. Both of the owners had told her that she was going to be gone for 1 week and a few days. So she ran around throwing everything in to her duffle bag finally with 9 minutes to spare she zipped it close grabbed her passport and lugged her duffle bag down stairs. She hugged both of the owners and ran outside so she wouldn't keep Ren waiting.

She got out side just as Ren pulled up. He got out and grabbed her duffel, much to her protesting that she could get it and put it on top of his suitcase in the back.

'Shall we go?" He asked Kyoko and she nodded.

"I think I have everything," She said as she got in the car. They made their way to the airport. When they got there both groaned. Kyoko even forgot that Ren was carrying her duffle bag. Lory was there with most of his usual ensemble but it had changed since that morning. He had changed from his okay (kind of) toga to the classic Elvis Presley costume his ensemble was decked out in 40's and 50's clothes.

"Why of all things, Elvis?" Kyoko heard Ren say. They looked at each other and started laughing.

"There you are!" Lory said dramatically drawing more attention to the posse. "Quick on to the plane now!" Lory exclaimed.

"Wait your coming with us?" Both actors asked nervously.

"Yes I'll be dropping you off at her house and then leaving." Lory said, "She was a fan of Elvis as a child so I thought I would wear this." Lory said. "Now shall we board before the fan girls start running?" he added and the three ran for the security line.

Chapter Two

The three people stepped off the plan into Australia. Lory was still in his Elvis getup but most of his posse was left in Japan. Many of the people in the air port gave Lory strange looks, and not many recognized Ren or Kyoko. They made their way peacefully through the small airport and in to a waiting limo.

"So who exactly are we staying with?" Kyoko asked. "Up till now you've only called her 'her'." she stated.

"I think your host would rather introduce herself. If I tell you who she is then you might think of her old self." Lory said fidgeting.

"That's right you said she was is show bizz, was she fairly big?" Kyoko inquired," How old is she?"

"Slow down, and yes she was fairly big, but I'm not saying any more." Lory said.

"I take it she's changed a lot." Ren said, Kyoko looked over at him quizzically. "Well if Lory doesn't give us her name it means that she isn't the same as when she was acting." He said.

"I suppose that makes sense." Kyoko said sitting back and thinking about it. "What exactly are we learning from her?" Kyoko asked.

"Well for the showKyoko will be learning how to fight. Ren will be learning how to play and instrument his character will be using. And I'm afraid that she heard about how he's a little up tight so...how should I put this... She said loosen him up a bit." Lory said leading the limo into a silent spell.

"That sounds weird." Kyoko said looking over at Ren.

"I'm thinking its kind to make you more lose and not so uptight in public." Lory said. Both looked at Ren for a moment.

I suppose he is a little up tight in public, in front of people in general. Kyoko thought just as the limo turned sharp unseating the occupants. Kyoko was thrown into Ren's lap and Lory into the front seat. Ren, the only one who remembered his seat belt, immediately steadied Kyoko putting their faces inches apart.

"I"MMMMMM SOOOOO SORRYYYYYY." Kyoko yelled going into a full face plant bow on the floor of the limo.

"Just remember to put your seat belt on next time." Ren said helping her up. She lost her balance again and landed in Ren's lap.

"People were here." Lory exclaimed. Kyoko looked out the window and up the twisting path to the most beautiful mansion she had ever seen

Kyoko, Ren and Lory all climbed out of the limo and stared at their mansion. "Something tells me she did very well in the show bizz." Kyoko said.

"No kidding," Ren commented back and the two stunned actors followed Lory up the steps to the door. Lory pushed the door bell. He waited, after a minute he hit it again, within seconds in opened to reveal a girl on a zip line.

"Lory!" The girl said then looked at what he was wearing." Why the hell are you dressed as Elvis?" The girl asked, causing the two actors to laugh.

"I thought you loved Elvis." Lory said pretending to be hurt but smiling.

"I did and then I learned he died on the toilet and I found a role model that died with a little more dignity." The girl replied unhooking herself from the harness. "Come in!" She said. Kyoko and Ren got a better look at her now that she wasn't hanging by a wire. She was about 5'9", she was skinny but muscular, and not overly bad on either one. Kyoko couldn't tell her hair color because it was up in her hat. But right away Kyoko could tell she was pretty, and extremely young.

"So who are you?" She asked, "I usually don't have time to watch T.V or movies a lot, and I'm only up on music because of helping out at the local school."

"I'm Kyoko Mo-"

"I don't need you last name," She said "sorry, But I believe in a first name base and after I know you full and completely then I'll learn your last name. So I don't judge you on what you've done." The girl quickly explained. Kyoko nodded.

"I'm Kyoko then, nice to meet you." She said bowing.

"Another rule, please no bowing or Japanese formalities I get so confused with them." She said "You can use them on other people but not when you're talking to me." She added "Sorry I'm used to doing things this way since I left the show bizz."

"Not a problem," Ren said "I'm Ren by the way." he said extending his hand.

"Ahhh an American," She said shaking it. "I'm more used to the American ways I lived there for ten years." She said. "I am Aya by the way." Kyoko's jaw dropped open," I see you know who I am. Ayame Lupus, at you service." She said. "But no judging I'm probably completely different." Kyoko nodded.

"I didn't know much about you but the other kids did." Kyoko said." So Aya, it is nice to meet you." She said shaking Aya's hand.

"A pleasure," She said removing her hat and her tell tale deep red hair falling out. "Now come this way." She said leading the way into the house. "It's a huge house and one of the easiest ways to navigate it is using the zip lines." She said pointing up. My great-grandfather found out about them and had them installed. They all lead to the Kitchen."

"Aya, I got the rooms ready." They heard a voice say they turned to see a boy. He had long black hair and you could see one of his ears was pierced.

"Ahhh, this is my friend Rowan, Rowan meet Kyoko and Ren. Unlike me he probably knows who you are." Aya said smiling.

"Indeed I do." Unlike Aya you could hear an Australian twang in his voice. "Your rooms are this way. I put them next to each other so you wouldn't feel so lost." Kyoko and Ren almost immediately liked these two. "And Aya you have to go back to the racetrack your investor is there."

"Ahhh yes," Aya said, "Sorry but duty calls, Rowan will get you to your rooms, he knows the house almost as well as I do." Aya said clipping on to the nearest sip line and zoomed off.

"So follow me," Rowan said waving in their direction. "Kyoko you're in this one," Rowan said opening a door to revel a room decorated with sliver and blue. "And Ren you're in this one." He said opening the door to the right of Kyoko's. This one was black and burgundy.

"Both have the same lay out so I'm only going to show you once." Rowan said, "Bathroom is here and the closet is here. If you mix it up you get to clean it up." If you need towels, they are in the closet across the hall. Any questions?"

"Yes where are the outlets?" Lory asked curiously.

"Those are here, there, and there." Rowan said pointing, "And two in the bathroom. So how would you like to see one of Aya's jobs?" The two nodded and Rowan lead the way through the maze of hallways. Finally they reached one back door out into a patio; "This way" he said leading the way to a dirt trail. After a few minutes they reached a track. Well they heard it first.

"What is this?" Ren asked.

"Aya tests racecars and does some basic maintenance on them." Rowan said, "There she is now." He said pointing to the person getting into the sleek unstickered car. They crossed the track and waited. All of them waited with anticipation as the car went faster and faster. It passed by with a speed of 370. It maintained if for a few laps then it stopped immediately. The 4 ran from their direction and 3 more from the other.

"It's a good thing you had me test this, Mr. Wallymarto." She called out. "Once I hit 370 the brakes stopped working." She said "Your basic mechanic should be able to fix it." She said handing the keys to the fat man. "Now our contract has ended so get you but off my land before I kick it off." She said "And if you tell I have the right to sue the living crap out of you." She said with a dazzling smile and the fat man and his two friends took off.

"Now back to the house for food!" Aya said then she saw the three visitor's expressions. "What?"

"You just ended a contract?" Ren asked.

"Yep I started testing race cars two years ago and about 3 months ago I got bored so I informed the contractors that they contracts would not be renewed. And that was my last contract fulfilled." Aya explained.

"What about money?" Kyoko asked.

"What about it? The mansion, cars and things like it are all paid off. The only things I need to pay for are the necessities and taxes. And I have more than enough to pay those. This stuff is just to fill time." Aya said smiling at the threes exasperated faces.

"That's exactly how I felt when I first came." Rowan said. "But the things she does to fill time pay well, adding to her fortune. So it all makes sense." Rowan said so Aya couldn't hear him.

"So Kyoko, I understand that I'm teaching you fighting?" She said looping her arm through Kyoko's.

"That is what I have been told." She said, "Also something about other things I might need in the acting career?"

"Ahhh yes, driving and fighting, Rowan will be helping with those two. Do you mind that?" She asked.

"No not at all." Kyoko said.

"Ren is learnig how to play a violin, also zip lining, and brushing up on his fighting. Correct?" Aya asked, Ren looked over at Lory who nodded. "It shouldn't take that long to teach that, never mind. Rowan would you be amazing and teach him how to play a violin? You're better at it than I am." She asked leaning back to look at him.

"Of course," He said smiling. " You do let me live here for free." Rowan said.

"Of course I would why wouldn't I?" She asked, smiling at him. Mean while Lory, Kyoko and Ren dropped back a little.

"Well normal people let their renters pay rent." They heard Rowan say.

"Are you accusing me of being NORMAL?" Aya shot back. When they were a little way out of ear shot they three started talking.

"Is it just me or is there something there?" Kyoko asked.

"OOooOOOOOooOO... even the love me member sees it." Lory thought grinning.

Chapter Three

The week passed by quickly and the four grew close. But the real trouble didn't start untill they visited the town on the first day of the next week.

"Come on, were going out to shop and test to you surviving our training." Aya announced to the three people at the table before sitting down with her breakfast. You could see the changes. Kyoko was a little more toned and Ren (at least with the three) was acting younger (And looked it). Seeing how he was the oldest in the house.

"Are we celebrating their training or is it because of the martial arts competition." Rowan said grinning.

"Guilty as charged." She said biting in to her English muffin. "But this year they have a special reward!" She said, "And I enjoy beating the pig headed bastards who say can't fight." She added.

"Aya, you do realize that it's a women's turny?" Kyoko asked.

"Of course I do Koko." Aya said she had grown accustomed to calling Kyoko that over the past week. "And you could take all of them."

"Then let's make a bet." Ren said grinning. "If you both place fairly high we buy you dinner and if you don't you buy us dinner." he proposed.

"Both ways we get dinner."Rowan pointed out. When everyone nodded he smiled." Great so the turny is at 1 and its 12 now. Let's go!"

"Hold on I haven't finished my breakfast!" Aya protested.

"Aya if you woke up like a normal person you would have finished it hours ago." Rowan said cheekily.

"And if you keep comparing me to normal people I'll have to smack you." She said back grabbing her jacket. Ren and Kyoko shared a look. They had grown used to the antics of the two. They both smiled and followed the two out. In some ways the two actors had grown a little closer too. In a matter of weeks they had grown close enough to revel there secret identities.

Ren's had been blown the 2nd night they had been there Kyoko was a little sore so Aya had popped in a low budget American movie. Much to Ren's surprise, along with the others in the room, his teenage face appeared on screen. Kyoko recognized him in a heartbeat. And much to Ren's surprise kicked his butt for not telling her earlier. She then feeling guilty told him about being Bo. The two sat there laughing all night long and talking that they fell asleep. The next morning, Ren and Kyoko found out two things. 1, just because you stayed up very late the night before doesn't mean that the two hosts will go easy on you. 2. That Aya was a demon woken up early causing the two to be chased around the house before Rowan calmed her down with chocolate. (Hence the Koko name).

They followed out to the garage where Aya's fleet of sport cars stood. Aya grabbed the keys to her black mustang. Rowan grabbed the keys to the new red 2011 Shelby.

"Aya can I drive?" Kyoko asked as Aya unlocked it. Ren and Rowan were in the other car.

"No."

"Please?" She asked.

"You have been driving four 4 days, yes your good but I have 3 reasons why you can't." Aya said.

"What?"Kyoko said pouting.

"1 You have no drivers license, we get pulled over my baby goes the pound and they do who knows what to it. 2. You might crash it." Aya said.

"And three?" Kyoko asked.

"I want to drive." She said cheekily. Kyoko stuck her tongue out and got in the car. They heard laughter from the guy's car. As they drove by they stuck their tongues out before speeding off. Rowan and Ren soon followed they were neck and neck as they entered the town finally Aya floored it narrowly missing a limo. (For shadow 0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0)

The people used to Rowan and Aya's antics grinned. Hey it's a small town.

"Hey Rowan, you almost won that one." A baker called out.

"Yha she only had 20 feet on you!" A passing shopper called out, sending laughter through the crowd.

During the first week Ren and Kyoko learned that all the towns' people liked Aya and Rowan. They like, Lory, Kyoko, and Ren, saw something between the two of them. They even called Aya and told her not to come to town in a reporter or shifty character was poking around. It was one of those towns when almost everyone was welcoming. All of them new Aya's story.

Kyoko and Ren had known the facts the public knew. Aya and her brother, Ari, worked together and were huge. Then when Ari died she quit. The truth was that Ari and Aya had already made plans to quit their bit (The Lupus Twins) and retire and be normal. But there manager was angry and thought that their parents were to blame for the two quitting. (She would be losing her income of 2 mill. a year) She snuck in and killed the parents and then the butler and Accidently Ari. Aya had retired with a broken heart, she wrote a few songs that she passed on to Lory to release. Then finally she disappeared. She then put her manager behind bars, tracking here across 3 countries. After that she then settled in her family's mansion.

Rowan was a kid whose parents died in a fire and instead of an orphanage, the local fireman adopted him. The fireman gave him a free rain. Rowan didn't want to burden the old man and he chanced upon Aya. The town said that they healed each other's hearts. There still is sadness but both were able to smile again.

"I take it that the two ladies are hearing for the local turny." The tailor said grinning. "The one time that the students Aya helps get a chance to try to kick her butt."

"Not to mention the ones that comes from other towns sworn to secrecy." The baker added. In order to keep peace in the town, the visitors either don't know she's there or they sign a contract making them unable to tell others that she is there.

"Did you hear about that big grand prize?" The local gossip lady said. "Apparently one of the neighboring towns, to get their girls to fight better, asked a big star to meet and go on a date with the winner."

"Why would anyone want that, Bea?" Aya asked.

"Well for someone who has famous people visitn' every day it's no big deal, but for those poor girls who never meet any one famous it's a big to-do." The baker said.

"Well, Ted if I win that big prize, one of those poor girls can have the date." Kyoko said grinning.

"I'll second that Koko!" Aya said, grinning.

Aya glanced at Rowan, under orders of Lory. They were to report Ren and Kyoko's relationship back to him. For people who couldn't see what they had, they were very good at picking up on Ren and Kyoko's. The noted that Kyoko blushed sometimes after looking at Ren. Also that they believed that Kyoko was picking up on Ren's looks and certain things he did. Probably due to the movie Aya was forced to watch, (She dragged Kyoko with her) 13 signs of love. And the pamphlet 20 signs he likes you.

"Well we better go register." Aya said, "Rowan was it again?" She asked.

"The central gym," He replied. "Just around the block," He added when she looked confused. "How in the world did you survive the movie business your memory is horrible." he said.

"Only when you want it to be," The three actors said grinning. All three of them didn't notice the man in the limo watch the entire conversation. As they turned the corner they saw a small but good turnout.

"Aya!" Some collage kids called out and ran over. Aya exchanged a brief hand shake.

"So when are you going to have you next class?" one of the younger students asked."The other teachers are plain boring compared to you." She added

"I must apologize, I had some show bizz work, and I have to work those two into shape." She said pointing to Kyoko and Ren. The student's eyes widened.

"Is she competing?" One of the older boys asked. Aya nodded, the boy paled. 'Are you?" Aya nodded again. The boy paled. "I'm going to go tell my girl to drop out." The students said running off. The four started to laugh.

"Well, Koko shall we go sign in?" Aya asked. Kyouko nodded, "All right boys, no wandering off, getting in to fights or sabotaging the other girls, or my mustang. Got it?" She asked the two boys who where grinning innocently.

"Now Aya why would we do that?'' Rowan asked, "We are just going to go snoop around to see who this guest star is. To you know test Ren's ninja skills." Rowan said grinning innocently.

"Yes, of course I mean your testing Kyoko's skills with the competition; it's only fair that I get tested too." Ren said grinning. "Besides I need to practice for that T.V show." Ren added.

"Yes and this is a perfect way to practice, we might even try to get through the Buckle store and touch the back wall without them talking to us." Rowan added dramatically.

"Alright you two get out of here," Aya said smiling.

"Make sure you get back in time to see us!" Kyouko said waving as Aya dragged her off. Ren and Rowan grinned evilly and ran off towards the mustangs and Buckle.

A Few Hours Later

''Now introducing our first place winners, yes ladies and gents we have two, because we don't want to sit here to winter waiting for these young ladies to finish, your First Place Winners Koko Mogami and Aya Lupus!" The hall clapped loudly and Ren and Rowan wolf whistled causing both first place winners to blush.

"And now both of you get to go on a date with -"

"Oye, John mind if I interrupt?" Aya asked the old announcer.

"Why am I not surprised?" John said laughing ''Take it away Aya." He said handing the mike over.

"Now you wonderful people know that I myself have no intention of going out with some big headed superstar that thinks he's God's gift to woman." Aya said and the crowd laughed. '' Also to the people who have meet Koko know that she doesn't either, So we would like to just take the money and give the date to the second place winner, Bernese, who so desperately wanted it. So Bernese, come on up here," Aya paused for the 210 pound, stringy haired boxer climbed up to the stage. "So now John I will hand this back over to you so you can introduce Bernese's date." Aya finished handing the mike back to John before She and Kyouko walked over to were Rowan and Ren.

"It's a good thing you two declined I have a feeling you boyfriends wouldn't like it." John said and the entire auditorium laughed as the two girls spit out the water they had just drank and the boys turned pink. "Ohh so you aren't together?" John asked wiggling his eyebrows. "Any way getting back to the point, Miss Bernese will be going on a spectacular date with the one and only, Sho Fuwa!" The auditorium was filled with the screaming of fan girls as the 'big headed superstar who thinks he is God's gift to woman' stepped out. When the fan girl screams died down every one heard Kyoko, Aya, Rowan, and Ren, laughing their heads off.

"Kyoko?" Sho asked surprised. When she ignored him and kept in laughing his temper rose. John seeing this quickly jumped in.

"So you two know each other?" John asked looking back and forth between Kyoko and Sho.

"You could say that." Kyoko said wiping away a few tears of laughter, (no one noticed Koko's demons swirling around Sho laughing,)

"Then would you mind sharing the joke?" John asked.

"We just found it funny that He had to come to a small town turny to get a date." Ren said starting the entire auditorium on laughter.

"Come on Ren, it's probably just to make him seem like a good guy." Kyouko whispered in his ear sending herself and Ren into another round of laughter. Rowan and Aya grinned at each other at the antics of the two. Kyoko had explained the thing when she had smashed Aya's T.V when he appeared on it the first day they were there. They all moved back stage to continue their chatting so they wouldn't disturb the other people.

Sho started to turn red and then stopped. "Why exactly are you here?" He asked.

"Do you mean in Australia or at this competition?"Kyoko asked.

"Both because there is no way in hell that your competing." Sho asked.

"She is here with me." Aya said giving Sho a glare, "And actually if you were paying attention you would have know that she just won first place with me." She said, like she was talking to a child. (She wasn't too far off)

"First place, you know what that means." She said with a smile grinning at Kyoko but he also caught Ren's death glare.

"Actually if you were paying attention you would have know that they declined the offer and gave it to the 2nd place winner." Rowan said exasperated pointing to Bernese, Sho paled.

"Are they allowed to do that?" Sho sputtered at John the four could hear the nervousness in his voice. They all assumed that Sho thought the winner would be a very sexy lady.

John barked out a laugh." Boy that there is Ayame Lupus, She can do anything she wants here." He said.

Sho turned to the four. "Which one is Ayame Lupus, I don't see her." She asked John quietly.

John stared at the boy like he was an idiot (Which he was) "The red head there don't you see, the rumor is that no one else on earth has that color red. So it is hard to miss boy," John said. "Unless you're a blind idiot," He mumbled so Sho couldn't hear.

"You a liar," Sho said in Aya's general direction and she hear him.

"Excuses me?'' She asked her eyes narrowing.

"There is now way in hell your Ayame Lupus." Sho said pointing an accusing finger at her.

"Yes I am now if you excuse us, we have a bet to fulfill." Aya said linking arms with Rowan and Kyoko, and Kyoko linked arms with Ren. This just got Sho madder. "Oh and don't forget your date, make sure to have fun Bernese." Aya said with a smile.

"Actually I thought it over and I decided you were right Aya," Bernese said.

"About what?" She asked confused.

"He's just a big headed superstar who is not worth my time." She said and Sho's jaw dropped. "I'll tell John that Mina can go with him."

"Wait, isn't Mina gay?" Aya asked.

"Ohhhhh yha, well then I'll just tell John to give him to any of the finalist who want him," Bernese said waddling off. Sho was very ticked now. Fortunately his manager arrived. Kyoko waved before the four went skipping off with Aya and Rowan singing "Were off to see the Wizard"

Chapter Four

" Come on Aya you could have been a little nicer." Kyoko said giggling leaning into Ren. He unconsciously put his arm around her.

"That man is very dislikable." Aya said sniffing.

"Maybe you just have a hard time making friends.'' Rowan said grinning cheekily.

"Oh, come on, She was nice to us." Ren said.

"Well that is because... Good point." Rowan said, "But it took her 3 weeks just to talk to me." He added.

"You didn't talk to me 3 weeks either." Aya said stabbing some of her food. Ren and Kyoko were both giggling now.

"Gosh I'm going to miss you guys." Kyoko said a little sadly.

"Why?" Aya and Rowan said, "Are you going somewhere?" Aya asked.

"Yha we both have to go back to Japan tomorrow." Ren said.

''Duh, but why are you going to miss us?'' Rowan asked. Then it looked like a light went on in Ren's mind.

"Well you'll be here and we'll be in Japan." Kyoko said exasperated like they weren't seeing the point.

"No, we won't," Rowan said, "We already told you this."

"Told us what?" Kyoko asked.

"Dear Koko, don't you remember? Where coming back to Japan with you. We were asked to play parts in Roses and Wolves with you guys." Aya said Kyoko's Eyes lit up.

"No way!" She squealed.

"Really?" Ren asked, even though he probably would never admit it he had also grown rather attached to the two teens just like, Kyoko had. The two nodded smiling at the two.

"I didn't realize Rowan was an actor." Kyoko confessed a little timidly.

"That is because of Aya's no last name rule," Rowan said. "Before my parents died I was Rowan Robbins. Now I'm just Rowan." He said joking. "But to be honest I am a little worried."

"Why?" Ren asked.

"You guys are such good actors I don't know if I'm good enough." He said looking down.

"Rowan if you're not good enough I'm a monkey's uncle." Aya said nudging him. "Remember you made movies with Ren's pops and his mum along with Julie Andrews, Johnny Depp… Do I need to continue?" She asked.

"So did you." Rowan said grinning. "Watch out I might get better than you." Rowan said his attitude completely changed.

"Wait you both made movies with Father?" Both of the newer (sorry couldn't help myself) actors asked.

"Oh yeah, we all had main parts in the movies we were in with him." Rowan said. "We have the films if you want to watch them on the fight back." He added.

"Rowan was in Robin Hood's Apprentice with him and I was in a Secret Garden with him, amoung other things." Aya said casually.

"Really?" Kyoko asked eyes wide and open. Then something hit her and she froze and fell into a fully fledged floor bow. The three looked at her.

"Ummm Koko?''

"Please forgive me!" She said, " You are all such great actors and I am just a newbie." She said still on the floor.

"KOKO!" Aya yelled angrily. Kyoko flinched, "I will not have you selling yourself like that, I looked up you acting and it is truly wonderful and it is not a newbie's acting. If you ever call yourself that again I will hunt you down and make you watch romance movies untill you cry." Aya said "Now get your but up off the floor." She said calmly. All three of the room's inhabitants stared at Aya. "What?" She asked "Is there something on my face." She asked wiping at it.

''It's nothing, Aya." Rowan said calmly before pulling her down to sit next to him. "So we all leave tomorrow at 10." Aya groaned. "Aya if you're not up we will leave without you, besides you'll have to be up for shooting."

"Yha, but then I'm getting paid to get up." Aya said, "This is just getting on a plane when I could take a later one." She mumbled, causing everyone to laugh. And on the note the four actors went to bed.

"Good night Ren." Kyoko said.

"Kyoko wait I want to ask you something and congratulate you." He said catching her before she went into her room.

"What, Ren?" She asked.

"It's just, will you still call me Ren when we get back to Japan?" He asked carefully.

"Of course, but on one condition," She said smiling. Ren raised an eyebrow. "That you still call me Kyoko.'' She said blushing slightly.

"Of course," Ren said smiling. "Good night, Kyoko." Ren said nodding.

"Wait what was the other thing Ren?" She asked before he was about to enter his room.

"You didn't let Sho Fuwa bother you today." He said smiling before entering his room. Kyoko thought about it and smiled. Maybe she was finally getting over him.

The Next morning

" Agggg, stupid, dam, alarm clock!" Rang through the mansion followed, by the sounds of the alarm clock being broken. A few minutes later a duffle came down the zip line. Followed by Aya, she was dressed simply a white button shirt with the sleeves rolled up with a vest open over it, she wore simple jeans and one of her many pairs of converse. Today it was red. You could see her simple black leather necklace, her cuff on her ear and one simple silver earring on the other, and her favorite leather cuff band on her left arm.

"You only need a duffel bag?" Ren asked, "You do know how long the shooting might take right." He added.

"Yes, Ren, but I figured most of my wardrobe, well all of it suited for the always warm temperatures down here. So I will just by new clothes in Japan." She said.

"So what all in the duffle bag?" Kyoko asked, she had said she wasn't going to bring much but the duffel was still pretty big.

"Oh, not much just some of my favorite clothes and shoes." She said calmly grabbing some food. "And Lory said he paid for my car to come too!" She said grinning. Kyoko and Ren shook their heads, Ren liked cars but not to Aya's extent. She treated her mustang like it was her baby. Which in some ways it was, she had built it by hand after receiving a kit, with her father.

"Well then we should get to the airport so we can get through security in time." Rowan said and they all managed to squeeze in to Aya's mustang and off they went.

Unfortunately Lory was on the other side ready to meet him, along with over 2000 screaming fans. Somehow Sho ended up on the same flight, so Aya and Kyoko enjoyed throwing peanuts at him. When Sho turned to point fingers he found out how well they acted and they couldn't be pinned because the other passengers were enjoying it so much. (Unfortunately Ren and Rowan had fallen asleep).

Lory was quite obnoxious with his outfit choice of the day, a very convincing Dracula; he had rented a limo that looked like a giant coffin, so the four all squeezed in to Aya's mustang once again. They followed Lory to the LME offices.

At the LME Offices.

"Lory your office is quiet interesting," Aya said looking around choosing to sit on the coffin couch instead of the normal (Well as normal as Lory's office chairs could be). Kyoko and Ren exchanged glances. Of course Aya and Rowan would be alright with Lory's antics. They were about as normal as he was.

"Thank you," Lory exclaimed with bats somehow flying out from behind him at the same time. "Understand all four of you are participating in Roses and Wolves. It is a rather interesting T.V show, filled to the brim with supernatural things. Ren has been cased as Levon, Kyoko as Rose, Rowan as Rowan, and Aya as Wolf." Lory said.

"Well at least I don't have to worry about two Rowans on stage." Rowan said dryly, earning a snort from Aya.

"So my name is Wolf." Aya said, "So being named Ayame Lupus wasn't enough?" She said. Then there attention was turned to Kyoko who had just flown to cloud nine and going higher. All three raised an eyebrow.

"She is playing a fairy-elf." Lory said and every one nodded looking back to the flying teen.

"Kyoko you need to come back now." Ren said softly laying a hand on her shoulder. She immediately snapped back.

"Sorry, Ren," She said guilty. Neither of the two noticed Lory's surprised glance. "So when is the read through?" She asked, like she wasn't flying in space a few moments ago.

"Tomorrow morning, but I must warn you. The director and writers warned me, because they write each episode separately that characters might change." Lory said, and they looked confused.

"So you're saying that there is no secure plot." Aya said carefully. Lory nodded.

"There is of course a start and finish but how the get there they don't' know. So they will be depending on your feedback and how you portray your characters." Lory said.

"So you mean that they could throw in a love story or something?" Rowan asked and Kyoko (who had gone back to cloud nine) came crashing back down it earth.

"Love !" Kyoko exclaimed looking pale and panicked.

"Don't worry, Kyoko, it might not even happen." Ren said, but if he had seen the smile on Lory's face he would have eaten those words.

"Oh yha, Lory were are Rowan and I staying?' Aya asked sitting up on the couch.

"With Me!" Lory exclaimed with bats holding roses flying out behind him. Both Rowan and Aya's faces dropped and they couldn't speak for a few moments. "Just kidding," Lory said tossing them a set of keys. "It goes to a loft I'll have one of my coffers take you there later." He said off handedly waving his hand.

"Now there are some rather excited people who want to see you in the Love Me room." Lory said and a light bulb went on in Kyoko's head.

"MOKO!" She said running out faster than the devil himself.

"Koko?" Aya asked as she looked after her.

"That girl is almost as abnormal as you are." Rowan said looking at Aya.

"Why thank you," She said getting up.

"I take it Ren you know where this room with someone named Moko in it is?" Rowan asked with a raise eyebrow.

"Indeed I do." He said standing up from the heart shaped office chair.

"Well then what are we standing here for?" Aya asked linking arms with them and stared singing a new rendition of We're Off to See the Wizard, in too We're Off to See the Moko.

"Very interesting," Lory murmured as he watched them leave.

''What is?" Lory's ever present dude asked.

"Throughout that meeting I was seeing all of those children's old selves for a moment." Lory said, "Yes Ren and Rowan were quieter, and Aya and Kyoko still had that sad tone in them but for a moment they were all fully healed." Lory said showing how deeply he cared for the four of the hurt actors.

"I think this is the start of a new age for them, Get ready Sebastian, because they are going to make huge waves." Lory said putting his finger tips together.

Chapter Five

"MOKOKOKOKOKO," Kyoko yelled as she barreled into the room. Kanae quickly sidestepped and Kyoko ran straight into the wall. Ren, Rowan, and Aya cringed as they walked in.

"Who are you people?" Kanae asked looking at them with her eyebrows raised.

"I'm Aya and this is Rowan, and that is Ren." Aya said, "Who you probably already know." She added grinning.

"No last name?" She asked curious.

"Ohh yha they do that here..." Aya said drifting out. Ren and Rowan looked over at her and shook their heads.

"Moko, that's Rowan Robbins and Ayame Lupus." Kyoko said pointing in turn. Kanae turned pale.

"Are you kidding me?" She asked and they watched in amusement as Kanae whispered furiously in her ear. They caught words like, no warning, not dressed properly, and Mo.

"Excuse me," Aya said. "But it wasn't her fault; Lory whisked her and Ren to Australia to be trained for their new drama." She said looking up from the floor where she had sneaked to eavesdrop. Moko screamed then stopped.

"What new drama?" She asked.

"Roses and Wolves," Rowan said offhandedly.

"Do you know how much attention that drama is getting already?" Kanae asked them suspiciously.

"Nope not a clue," All four of them said looking at each other and shrugging. Kanae groaned and hit her head.

"A big director form Hollywood signed on to direct it, so not only is it going to air in Japan but all over the U.S too." Kanae said.

"So?" They asked.

"Never mind," Kanae said before leaving for her next drama. The four looked at each other and shrugged. And then jumped as an over excited coffer appeared to take Aya and Rowan to their new loft.

"Well then, Kyoko would you like a lift home?" Ren asked the petite girl.

"Sure," She said smiling at him and they both walked to his car. "Do you think it will be quite with Rowan and Aya around?" She asked him curiously.

"Honestly?" He asked her, she nodded. "No, I read up on our two friends on the plane. Aya was seen in the public eye as the perfect little girl, who never did anything wrong, and did what people expected her to do. And Rowan was very similar, but look at the two trouble makers now." He said grinning at her, she smile back.

"Good point." She said as Ren pulled up to the restaurant. They both looked at the place it looked like no one was home. They both saw a note on the door. Kyoko ran out and got it, she read it and then can back to the car.

"What does it say?" Ren asked and Kyoko handed it to him.

Kyoko

Tashrio's father had a stroke and we've had to shut down the restaurant temporarily so we can go look after him. We'll be back in a week, we don't want you staying here alone. I know you will think of someone, and you already have your things.

We'll be back in a week

"I would go stay with Aya, but I don't know where they are living, and Moko already has too many people…" Kyoko said thinking out loud. Then she realized that he was already driving.

"Where are you going?" Kyoko asked. Ren flipped over the piece of paper.

Mr. Tsuruga

Look after Kyoko, I give you permission.

"What does he mean by permission?" Kyoko asked once she had finished reading it.

" A little while back, the owners came to LME and discussed housing for you if they had an emergency. And Lory asked them if it be okay if you couldn't find anywhere else if you stayed with me." Ren said leaving a rather silent car. " I though Lory told you."

"So Tashori is giving you permission to let me live with you" She said calmly, Ren turned to face the road and out of the corner of his eye watched Kyoko, while he nodded. "Like we're married." She said and Ren swerved the car color draining from his face.

"I don't think he meant it like that," Ren said, and then murmured under his breath. " The President maybe." Kyoko heard him though and started to laugh. Ren was startled by the sound and looked over at her. " What?" He asked.

"Just strange things," Kyoko said still laughing.

"Come on, just tell me." Ren said pulling into the parking lot. Kyoko shook her head as she got out. They grabbed their things an started up the elevator and Ren still was bugging her.
