The shrill ring of the phone broke Kyoko out of her sleep. She grabbed the pink phone lazily flipping it open.
"Hello, this is Kyoko Mogami speaking," she muttered her eyes drifting closed.
"Ah, I'm sorry to wake you Mogami-san but I need to ask you something," the president's voice said through the phone.
"Yes, what is it?" she replied.
"It would be better if I asked you at my office," he replied with a sigh. She couldn't understand, what was so important to bring her to his office in the middle of the night?
"But president, there's no buses at this hour," she tried to reason.
"Don't worry Sebastian should be waiting for you with a car in front of that restaurant you live at, now hurry," he rushed before the line got cut off.
Kyoko was tired but she wasn't going to let the president down. She stood slipping a small coat over her purple striped pajamas. She walked out to find that yes indeed the president's loyal butler was waiting for her. She climbed in the car wondering what was going on.
"President, she might not even accept," the small girl said with a sad sigh as she sat beside his armchair on the ground.
"You never know Aika-chan," he said smiling down at her. She looked at him frowning. His face softened till he started squealing and crushing the skinny girl in a hug. Stubbornly she pushed him away with a small 'hmph'. He pouted but set her on his lap much to her displeasure. She sighed but gave in resting on his chest just as the door slowly creaked open revealing a very sleepy looking girl with orange hair.
Aika stared sealing her mouth shyly. The girl entered with a very polite looking bow, even though it was obvious she was wearing sleep wear.
"Is anything wrong President?" she asked as she looked up noticing the girl on his lap. She cautiously weaved her arms around his neck burying her face in shoulder glancing shyly at her.
"Ah, yes Mogami-san, this is Aika, a very precious girl to me," he said pointing to the girl on his lap. "However seeing as auditions are coming soon and I have preparations to make, I won't be able to take care of her."
Kyoko blinked but stayed silent. "I was wondering if for the next few days you could watch over her?" She wasn't sure what to say so she asked the first question that came to mind.
"I don't mean to be rude president but where are her parents?" Aika glanced down flinching a bit before burying her face in his shoulder again. The president sighed knowing it was a hard topic for her.
"Her mother died of an illness and her father left her," he explained softly only for her to bury her face further into his eccentric clothing that stood out like a peacock.
Kyoko stared shocked at the girl. She didn't look fully Japanese, but she was still quite adorable. This irl abondoned? That was terrible. The frown on Kyoko's frown was evident as she thought 'How could parents ever abondon their child?' She looked up the anger evident on her face. "I'll take care of her don't worry."
And that was Kyoko ended up with a strange child in her care.
