A lone middle age man standing in front of a tombstone a nostalgic smile plastered on his face despite of the wrinkles already showing on his skin he still look so young.

"It's been awhile my beloved Juri." He said kneeling down to touch the engraving of his wife's name on the stone tablet.

"Musashi-sama I am very sorry to interrupt but…" a man appeared behind him.

Musashi nodded, "Yes I understand."


"And now everyone Taiga is on fire! Passing by three defenders with ease…oh my god this Japanese man is awesome first Asian I see that will definitely follow the footsteps of the royal Airness!"

"Oh yeah dunk it!" Kyoko yelled in front of the TV screen with the bowl of corn flakes on her hand. She's really enjoy watching him in TV.

"Kyoko…" Annoyed Moko said while rubbing her sleepy eyes. "It's only 7am in the morning and the TV's volume is raging!"

"Oh, sorry Moko-chan." Kyoko said apologetically.

"So would you mind? Turning that TV's volume down?" Moko said with a scowl on her face, "Or it's much better if you turn it off so that you won't disturb people who actually like to sleep during their day off." Her arms across her chest.

"Sorry I'll turn it down but I'm still watching…I mean this is my only time watching TV and besides I'm waaay off from watching the latest season of NBA!" she said hugging her number 10 LA Red Knights jersey (Which happens to be her idol's jersey number in the league)

"Yeah whatever." Moko shrug her shoulder while proceeding to make a coffee for herself in the kitchen.

"Watch with me Moko-chan Taiga is awesome!" Kyoko said with glee.

"Not interested."

"Aww come on Moko-chan!"

Kyoko was about to pull Moko to join her to watch TV when her phone rings.


"Ren..."

Ren looks up to his manager lazily his chin resting on his palm, "What is it Yashiro?" he said with obvious irritation on his voice. His manager shows up in his apartment on his much deserve day off early in the morning while he's still sleeping. "This better be worth than my sleep Yashiro or else…"

"You know Director Musashi…"

Ren rolled his eyes (as if he was thinking) he then lazily rub his already dishelved hair sighing deeply, "No never heard of him. You done? I need my z's." he said standing up walking towards his room.

"Ren! Don't lie you already met him once a year ago in a gala he is directing again and he wants you in his movie. This is once in a lifetime opportunity Ren…" he said making Ren stop on his tracks.

For the third time Ren let out a deep sigh leaning his forehead onto the doorframe, "I just finished filming a series and my other commitments I need a long break I'm not interested on starring on any movie."

Yashiro can literally feel a steam coming out of him when did Ren become like this? He usually does not say no to a work, "Now is the time to drop my last resort."

"If you don't have anything to say then don't forget to lock the door."

"Mogami Kyoko is chosen to play the heroine of the movie."


Later that day Kyoko found herself sitting nervously inside the meeting room on LME studios. Earlier this morning she got a phone call from the President himself that her manager Sawara accepted a job offer from a veteran director. She was so excited to learn that she'll be playing the lead role in the movie for the second time.

"Talk about luck!" she said giddily to herself but immediately composed herself when she heard a muffled sounds then the door opening only for her to be surprise to see the one and only Tsuruga Ren enter the room with his manager Yashiro in tow.

"T-Tsuruga-san's here! D-Does this mean he's also starring in the movie with me?!" Kyoko didn't have the chance to think when Ren notices her.

"Oh my Kami-sama what should I do?"
