Okay! So, I actually finished my last fanfic just as the new chapter came out, so I didn't bother uploading it. If anyone is interested in reading it, just inbox or review and I'll put it up or email it to ya, whatever.
Anyway, I'm probably going to be putting up another fanfic every month til the story is complete, because I have no life. I'm boring like that, but hey, at least I'm pouring myself into fanfics, which are at least amusing.
Anywho, on with the show!

Chapter 1
The day went well. Murasame calmed down when they got to shooting and Cain was willing to work a few hours over to help make up the time he'd missed that morning, Setsuka claimed that was the way things worked in their home country. They headed back to the hotel, stopping a few times at different stores, buying food, another pair of pajamas, and oddly enough, she was able to finally get him to buy another pair of shoes.
They headed back to the hotel, took showers, made dinner, and fell asleep. The whole time they kept stealing glances at each other, looking at the responses they had. Kyoko was honestly scared to death that morning, but on the three hour trip to work, her muscles and mind calmed. By the time they were back at the hotel, she could see a light at the bottom of the proverbial cliff behind her. She could jump, find the brightness at the bottom of the cliff, or she could stay here, threats and uncertainty surrounding her. She was honestly terrified still, but she knew at this point that if she jumped, it would still be a type of death to her.
If she jumped, she would cease to be the Mogami Kyoko she was now.
If she stayed, she knew she would spend the rest of her life feeling cornered.
She was horribly confused. She knew there was no way at this point that her life would be the same. Whether she jumped, whether she stayed, it would change her life. She honestly had no idea what to do, but she knew she had to do something.
She had to make a decision.
She looked up, seeing Ren turn in his sleep, his neck showing itself to her. She noticed the spot of red that peeked out from the blanket. Her heart sped in her chest. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes, but instead of seeing, she could feel his skin. She could smell his cologne. She turned away from him, but it did nothing to help her. She could hear movement, but was fighting her thoughts too much to pay attention to what was happening.
She felt the bed move and turned, her eyes opening, feeling her heart pound in her chest, blocking her throat as Ren smiled down at her.
"Calm down. It's alright. It's just me." He laid down softly and slid his arm across her stomach, looking at her with such calm and caring eyes. "Bad dream?"
"I don't know yet." She frowned, and for once, gave in. She leaned against his shoulder, taking the warmth he offered, taking in the scent of him without the cologne, just the smell of the cucumber melon soap and shampoo he'd bought at the corner store. He had a naturally woody scent.
"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know." He smiled, honestly surprised that she was warming up to him like this, but decided not to distract her too much.
"You are."
He looked at her, confused at her words. He tried to figure out what was happening in her mind. "Mogami-san, should I be worried?"
"I don't know yet. I don't understand what's happening anymore." She sighed and nuzzled farther into his shoulder.
"What's confusing you?"
"You." She sighed and opened her eyes. "I don't know what to feel anymore." She frowned, and Ren smiled. She was opening up to him.
"What are you supposed to feel?" He asked calmly, trying to keep her from startling.
"You're supposed to be my sempai. I'm supposed to look up to you, to want to be like you. I'm supposed to respect you for your acting and kindness." She frowned.
"What are you feeling instead?" His eyes stayed still, he fought to keep his heart from leaping out of his chest, but due to his acting, he was miraculously able to keep his composure.
"Like I'm at the edge of a cliff. If I jump, if I surrender, I don't know what I'll think anymore. I don't know how I'll feel." She clenched her eyes, feeling a tear slide down her cheek. "I'm so scared..." She sobbed and Ren wrapped his arms around her.
"When I was scared, when I was terrified of my own thoughts, you stayed with me. Let me stay here with you, alright? Go ahead and think, try and figure out your thoughts. Just do me a favor, alright?"
She looked up at him, tears spilling down her cheeks.
"When you find out what you feel, can you let me know?" She nodded, closed her eyes and nuzzled farther into his shoulder.
"Thank you, Tsuruga-san." She sniffed and he smiled, closing his eyes. They were both able to fall asleep in a few moments.
The next day seemed to him as if nothing was wrong. She didn't withdraw, which he was thrilled about, and he noticed when she came to get him out of the shower she actually looked over his physique. He blushed. It was something he wasn't used to, and he felt horribly out of place. When she left the room and he stepped out, he looked at himself in the mirror. 'What are you, a middle school boy?' He chided.
He didn't know the battle that was happening in the other room.
'WHY DID I LOOK?!' She stared at the breakfast, terrified and ready to beat herself to death with her own thoughts. She stared at the table and it suddenly dawned on her.
Her foot was slipping off the cliff, the cliff was crumbling. The momentum would drag her down.
She was falling.
She stared at the food, the horrified look sliding off her face, realization dawning on her. Wanting to smell him last night, cuddling into his chest, feeling the warmth. Her cheeks burned as she thought. She was already falling. She just now finally realized that there was no way to pull herself back up. There was no way to keep from falling.
He stepped out of the bathroom and stared, watching her horrified face, her blushed cheeks. He decided to stay in character. Maybe the general routine would help. "Setsu?" She looked up, the spot on his neck still visible, and she froze for a second, thought about it for a split second, then relaxed.
"Yes, Nii-san?"
"Is everything alright?" She looked up to see his eyes. He looked worried.
She smiled, shaking the thoughts from her head. "Everything's fine." She smiled, trying to will the blush away. "I was just worried about the rice."
"Was it doing something perverted to you to have you blush like that?" By now, the persona of Setsu had taken over and she stared at it.
She got a half evil grin on her face and her eyes narrowed at her Nii-san. "Like what?"
This time it was his turn to panic. "I don't know." He frowned on the outside, but he was fighting his blush the best he could, thinking of the perverted things that could be done to her. He focused and kept his cool, sitting down to eat.
They made sure they went right to work today, as after work they had to go to the camper and go back to their normal life for the next day. They each had a talk show to do in the morning, and thought it may be easier to get ready the night before than in the morning.
What neither of them had expected was the filming to run about three hours over. The crew was on a roll and decided to get as much as they could done that night. Cain was even getting into the energy the crew and cast seemed to be pumping out. When they came out it was nearly midnight. Kyoko whipped out her phone and called the president, but wasn't able to break her roll with the people around her.
"Mogami-san? Where are you? You're late."
"The filming ran over. Nii-san and me will wait til morning."
"Are you around the other cast and crew?"
"Yeah, and Nii-san worked well with them today, so don't worry." She sounded bored and Lory figured she was trying to keep people from being suspicious.
"Alright. Eight o'clock, in the garage beside Ren's car, alright?"
"Alright, Otousan. We'll see you then." She snapped the phone closed and looked up at Cain. "We're free for the rest of the night. Let's go out to eat." She watched as Cain's eyes glanced down at her and looked forward before nodding.
"I want to eat hamburgers." He said and Setsu looked up, her eyes wide for a second before she couldn't hold back the smile.
"Alright." She reached out and took his hand, walking away from the group that watched on. Murasame's great mood just shattered. That wasn't a look given to a brother. This was really fucked up! This was disturbing! Incest relationship, and they weren't hiding it! Right out in the open! He tried to keep from screaming!
Why was such a hot girl so screwed up as to look at her brother like that? He unconsciously followed them to the restaurant, then back to their hotel. He panicked a little at finding them at one of the largest hotels in the area. He must be rich to afford something like that. He wandered across the street to his own hotel. It wasn't as luxurious, but it was huge, and had everything he needed. He walked over and looked across the street into one of the windows of the hotel. He nearly died of shock when he saw Cain and Setsu walk into the room! He could seriously see into their hotel room?! He really wanted to look away! He needed not to do something so lowly as peep into their hotel room! He couldn't pry himself away from the window if he'd wanted to...
Setsu started talking and frowned, lifting her cell phone. She turned it off and sat down, pointing and yelling at her brother, and he left. She walked back with him for a moment before returning with his clothing. Murasame cringed. She went through his pockets pulling out his watch, wallet and belt before throwing them into a bin in the corner. She looked up, said something and went into a drawer, pulling out a bottle of shampoo before headed back again.
So it was a shower. Murasame couldn't decide if this was less or more innocent. She came back a few seconds later with a horrible blush and reached up, running her fingers through her hair, then to his horror, her hair fell off! He was about to scream when he realized she'd pulled it off. Her hair under it was shorter, red tinted and pressed against her head. It was a wig. He sighed, leaning back against the wall and stared. He knew that hair. She looked familiar. He watched her as she made her way back to the dresser and pulled out some clothing, a silky black night gown and an underwear set. She smiled as she ran her hands across the material and called something out. She frowned, her eyes narrowed and she stood, her hand sliding to her hip before pointing. She said something, and after a moment he noticed the door beside her open and Cain was inside, blow drying his hair. She turned back to her clothing, and lifted it. He was expecting her to walk into the bathroom with him, but she didn't.
The thought dawned on him. If she was wearing a wig, what were the chances that this was another acting feat? They weren't really siblings, let alone lovers. The whole thing was an act!
Murasame sighed, relieved, and suddenly grinning. This meant he still had a chance!
He watched as Cain came out, his hair brushed away from his face, the look there a lot less deadly than he was used to, but he instantly knew this face, that stance. Tsuruga Ren was Cain Heel?!
He stared, his eyes wide as he smiled, the girl going into the bath now that he was out and saw a smile on her face. He watched as Tsuruga watched the door close and turned away from the door, his hands clamped fast over his heart. So he didn't have much of a chance with her after all.
Murasame stared as Ren walked over and pulled sleeping pants out of the drawer and figured this was a good time to go get a drink.
He came back to see Ren laying in bed. He looked like he may be sleeping, but when Setsu came out she smiled and started talking. He must still be awake. She laid down on the other bed and frowned, looking at Ren and they chatted for a moment before he pulled the blanket over himself and totally cocooned himself. Murasame stared in shock. He looked like a little kid. The girl came over and smiled, sitting on the end of the bed, grinning and running her fingers through his hair. Ren must have said something bad, Setsu's eyes narrowed dangerously, and a dark smile appeared on her lip.
Box R. This was Natsu from that. He pulled the phone out of his pocket and looked it up. Mogami Kyoko. There was her picture, and sure enough, it was the girl sitting across the street, currently tickling Tsuruga Ren's sides.
'Mogami Kyoko Tsuruga Ren Couple' is what he typed into his phone. He was surprised to read that they weren't an official couple, but many people seemed to think they were hiding a relationship. He looked across at the couple who were now sleeping in separate beds and smiled softly.
He was almost killed by Tsuruga Ren. Japan's most wanted bachelor. If this ever got out, the cast would never let him live down almost dying at the hands of such a pretty boy.
He'd keep this his little secret, for now.
