Kyoko woke up from her dream and noticed the time was around past ten o'clock, in the morning. Kyoko has a little break before her big premiere as an actress. The

agency did not know where she was, as she did not have have a manager, yet. Kyoko had to get there fast, because she was on a seven day absence. People in the

agency did not know why she left all of a sudden, and that fact made her tense. She had to get to the agency as soon as possible. She knew this event would either

win or break her career as an actress. Then she noticed that there was Mr. Sawara from the agency that could help her. There were many other people who could help

her.

(At the L.M.E Agency)

"Good morning, to all of you!" Kyoko Mogami said. I'm not surprised to see everyone still here after I have been gone for a while.

Maria was the first one to noticed Kyoko, since they did not stay in touch for a couple of months. She distinguished something that was not there before, yet this didn't

surprise her at all.

Big sister looks happy and healthy Maria thought, because Kyoko has been gone for a while and she thought it would be best to go to the beach with her, even

though Kyoko had a busy schedule. Maria knew that Kyoko had the need to spend time with old friends, especially long distanced ones. So Maria was brainstorming a

plan for her and Kyoko to get together.

Moko walks into the building and see a crowd. Her curiosity took away all rationality. So while she began to walk to the crowd. Moko hears a voice she has not heard in

a while. So lost in her thoughts, as Kyoko says hello to everybody on the first floor Moko decides that it would not be a good idea to meet Kyoko now. When Kyoko

sees Moko she runs off to her. There is someone watching around the corner who seems a bit intrigued. As Kyoko talks to Moko, Maria comes over and hugs Kyoko.

Maria says

"Hey, big sister it has been a long time; why don't we go to the beach, tomorrow?"

"Well, actually I am not very busy tomorrow so, yes," Kyoko said.

Moko, all of a sudden says "Me, too!"

People just stare, yet they continue on. Kyoko looks happy as she sees her old friends, since she was away from them for a while. Kyoko notices the time and thinks it

is a good idea to go meet visit the president.

(Lory's Quarters)

"Welcome back, Kyoko-chan. Do you not like the present I gave you?"

"It is nice, though I am working very hard on my next job, since I was absent for quite some time." I just hope he does not suspect something suspious while I was

gone, but I hope things here are doing well.

"Kyoko-chan, I know why you've been absent, after your eighteenth birthday."

"President what are you talking about? I was here when I finished my job as an actress for the role father said I could achieve." Lory looked at Kyoko with a question

mark on his head. He was confused now, because Kyoko was talking about the past as if it was relevant now. Something did not add up. It was as if she missed part of

her memory.

"Kuu has and still will respect every faith in your decision of what roles you take, but you've been absent for more than you think."

"Boss, I was wondering if my acting career fine?"

"Everything is fine. You do not have to worry about the news."

"I will do my best, for my job. I'll make up for the time I have lost, now."

"I see then, I hope you do well this time."

Kyoko felt confused but she knew things were not going to be the same when she was younger. Now, is more important than ever and she had her stone from Corn.

(Sho's place)

Sho is working on his new album, since his other songs have already hit platinum. While thinking of a new song for this his album; he decides to watch some television

to set his mood into motion. After watching t.v. for a few minutes it was getting late, and Sho needed his beauty sleep. He startedflipping through the channels he

hears the name Kyoko and this surprises him; therefore, he listens to the television with intense feeling and hears that Kyoko is back in town.

"So she has come back; it is time to speak with her after that long time of absence." Sho thought while watching the television.

Shoko comes in through the door since there is none; talks to Sho that Kyoko is back into the entertainment industry, after leaving without any notice. Shoko continues

to lecture him on what is going to happen now that Kyoko is back, a young woman who is ready to get back her revenge on him, or even ignore him all together. This of

course gets Sho's interests, but does not bothered by it because as long as Kyoko thinks of him more than anyone he satisfied.

I just hope that Beagle guy does not come back now that Kyoko is back.

Hey, Shoko you got any information on Kyoko?
