Kyoko's baby bother! (A Skip Beat! Fanfic)

The Tragic Marker.

Thanks always to my wonderful Beta reader @rsrdiall

The visitor in Lory's office finished her statement. As he watched her casually across his desk, he wondered how this was going to work out and if the plan he had been formulating in his head could ever come to work. But he had to do something. After all of the problems and troubles Mogami-san had dealt with in her life, he was not going to allow this one to hurt her further.

"OK, I understand the situation and I will happily call Mogami-san to come join us. If you don't mind waiting I can call her right now." the woman just nodded her acceptance as Lory reached for his phone. He knew they were filming 'Tragic Marker' today, he just hoped Setsu had her phone on hand.

The phone in Setsu's pocket was vibrating, making her body shake slightly as it took her a few moments to realise what was happening. Looking at the caller ID, her heart skipped. Cain was still on the set as they were filming a more complicated scene. It would be awhile before they would be done completing it.

Turning to a stage hand nearby she approached him,

"Tell my Nii-san I've had a call I needed to take and I will be back." she didn't even wait for a reply as she turned and walked away from the shocked young man. As long as he told her beloved Nii-san she honestly didn't care if Nii-san beat him up for her speaking to him, her Nii-san was her everything.

"Hello, boss." she said as she walked out of the studio door and it shut behind her. Keeping her character as the president would understand.

"Hello Mogami-san, there is something urgent I need to speak with you about so I'm sending Sebastian to pick you up right away. Please be ready and waiting for him outside as it is a matter of urgency for which I need to speak to you." the tone of his voice made it clear there was no room for argument as she took a deep breath, hoping she hadn't done anything wrong. Her inner Kyoko was screaming, apologising, and begging, but Setsu would never do that.

"OK, boss I will be waiting for him, this better be important, you know how Nii-san hates it when I leave." she answered as Setsu, even though her true self was slipping into despair.

"OK, well as long as you're waiting, I don't even mind if he insists on coming too but I need you back here as soon as possible Mogami-san." she flicked the phone shut and stood for a moment. She hadn't broken character and she wouldn't do so now, she was Setsu.

I AM SETSU.

With that final thought her character settled as she re-entered the studio. The scene must have been completed satisfactorily, as she could see Cain bearing down on the stage hand she had told she was going to take a call.

"Nii-san, are you trying to make friends?" she teased as she walked over to the large scary looking man dressed in black. Scars and cuts marred his face as his haunting grey eyes shone through.

"What were you doing Setsu, you know you're not to leave without telling me. Why tell this scum?"he scowled down at the young stage hand who she figured was pretty close to wetting himself, being the one to take the brunt of Cain's anger.

"I had a call from boss, he said I have to return to base now and he's sending a car to pick me up." she used their keywords they had set up for this event so he would know that President Lory needed her to return to LME. The fact he was doing this during filming when they were both heavily under cover meant it was serious.

"OK, well I'm coming with you." he said turning and walking over to the director to tell him he was leaving,

NO, NO, NO, DON'T DO THAT! REN, YOU NEED TO SHOOT THE FILM.
