"I hate you."

Shou woke up with a start. He looked around in his room. What was that? The words "hate you" repeated like a spoilt broken record. That voice was definitely Kyoko. How could it not be? The voice he had heard for 15 years mysteriously vanished. His fault. The guilt penetrates through his beating heart.

"What the hell was that? That dream. Is it an impending warning to me that the girl would slaughter me for the upcoming movie they invited her to work with me? She accepted."

Beads of sweat trickled down his neck. "I don't need this. I don't need any unnecessary feelings for that girl. After all, she's just a friend/ maid. It was definitely right to make her slave to me for the last few years."

"Sho. Get ready. We are going for the morning interview for the upcoming movie you're shooting. Get your butt out of the bed."

"Yeah yeah, fine. Will be down soon, Shoko" Sho replied.

Shoko sighed. "It's better if he don't know this. For now. That Kyoko-chan is going to be interviewed with him."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyoko dressed up in a long, elegant dress. Her used to be short hair had grown long enough. 6 months has passed and her career was going smoothly. This was the first time in a long while she will made contact with Sho. Her revenge against Sho was resting at the back of her head, till now.

"While this stupid dress was given to me specially by Sawara-san who forced me to wear this, I have to admit this looks pretty feminine in its own way. Heh. Shotaro, that stupid idiot. I'll use this as the first step to defeat you and make you beg on your knees. I'll steal the limelight from you. Hooo-hoooohooo" She muttered while walking to the room where the interview would take place.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. A familiar disgusting face flashed onto her eyes. His hair, his eyes, his pierce ears remained the same. To her, it was still the same disgusting man from the day he broke off with her. Sho.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sho stood rooted on the ground for what seemed like eternity. His mind ceased functioning for 1 minute before sanity reclaimed him a second after. "What is that girl doing here?! And where the hell did makeup less, uncharismatic Kyoko went to?!" he thought.

Kyoko took the initiative. She strode towards him with a walk that rivals a well-trained model. Her eyes glared at him. If it was the Kyoko from before, she could yell and make him lose face. But not this Kyoko. She was far too dignified and matured for that. 6 months has not passed by without her becoming a more matured person. She was going to trounce him gracefully. However, it didn't stop her demons who remembered her grudge from escaping out from her. Kyoko softly hissed "Die." to sho. The menacing aura was overwhelming.

"This girl, she's not going easy. But it suits me just fine. I can definitely deal with that girl. Definitely."
