Loveless (Book 1) [Completed]

Chapter 59.

KUON.

The people that were passing by stopped and turned back to stare at him in awe as he made his way to the hotel. There was something about his vibe, his energy that was so magnetic that it seemed to be pulling others to him.

Politely smiling at the passerbys, he stepped inside the hotel and used the elevator to climb up to the top floor where the VIP suites were situated. He used his key card to unlock the one of the door of once such suites.

Okay, my name is Kuon Hizuri. I'm the son of the legendary actor Kuu Hizuri. I grew up in America and only came to Japan to accompany my father on this work trip, he repeated the words inside his head and with a sigh, opened the door to let himself in.

When he finally passed the last level of his videogame, Takarada groaned aloud. "It's already over? They'd better released the part two of this thing!"

The sudden ringing of the bell on his private telephone startled him for a moment making his back stiffer. Who could be calling at this time? Its the middle of the night for God's sake! He thought. Only after he switched on the lights and glanced at the majestic wall clock in his bedroom did he realise that it was already morning.

Damn, I ended up playing all night again! With a sigh, he answered the telephone, mostly because the shrill, incessant sound of its bell ringing was making his ears hurt. "Hello?" His irritation could be heard through his voice. His tone suggesting, "this better be important."

"Please tell me what you're up to," the voice on the other end belonged to Ren. "Just what exactly are you making her do?" There was desperation in his tone, as if he had thought long and hard about this before calling the President.

Takarada rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? It's six a.m.!"

"You know what I mean."

With another exaggerated sigh, the President gave in. "I told you that before, didn't I? I only assigned Mogami to that job to take care of Kuu's meals. That's all."

"Don't play dumb with me" Ren hissed, trying to calm his nerves. "I met Kyoko yesterday and she was clearly acting... strange."

"Strange how?"

"She was hiding something, I'm sure of it. She was about to tell me what it was but I guess she changed her mind."

"Oh," Takarada realised that it must have been about that role Kyoko had mentioned when she stopped by the agency last night.

"Didn't you talk to him?" Ren demanded. "Whatever she was worried about, I bet it has something to do with that man. I just know it."

A small smile curved the President's lips. After Hizuri failed to break Kyoko's spirit, the whole plan in which Ren was supposed to see that something was wrong with her so that he might come to see his father to ask about it, was ruined. All because Kyoko was not the least bit affected by Hizuri's condescending attitude. But now, however, whatever Hizuri was making her do, it got the plan back on track. Takarada could see how desperate Ren was to know what was up, so he decided to use it for making Ren see his father. All he needed to do was give him a little nudge.

"If you want to know whatever Kyoko is up to, you can ask him yourself. He is only one call away you know." The President pressed.

There was a long pause. "You know I can't do that."

"Alright. I'll talk to Kuu myself." After the events of last night, Takarada was himself very curious to find out what was going on. Especially after he saw the clothes Kyoko borrowed from the agency. Because once she stepped out from the accessories room, not only her appearance was changed, but her whole vibe had shifted. Everything about her from her clothes to her behaviour reminded him of a certain someone when he was young. "Hmm. Mogami was indeed acting a bit strange last night," the President told Ren to ignite his curiosity even further. "She came to the agency to borrow the clothes worn by a teenage american boy for a role."
