Her footsteps echoed throughout the empty halls with a clink and clank of her small heels that made her seem taller than she already was for her age. Sighing, she ran a hand through her blond locks of hair that was now outreached to mid-waist, just below her shoulders thanks to her stylist urging her not to cut down on what took forever to grow out. Though the compliments she received flounced in her to no end, the locks were more of a burden to uphold than for the price of beauty. Yet with one word from her most important person; she could not refuse.

Turning on her heel, Mogami Kyoko reached out a hand and rang the doorbell to a certain efficiently, a blast of nervousness and excitement clouding her lungs, blocking her breathing ability yet she couldn't force herself to pay attention. Now at the age of twenty-four and far more successful than one might imagine, her career as an actress only seemed to furnish by the second as she was regarded to many as a high standards woman to have around and idolize. She was Kyoko Mogami- the top star of the graduated LME quickly rivalled by her budding best friend, Kotonami Kanae and the most craved presence on set with the big bucks she bought in with her loving personality and variety of skills left a human soul unarmed to deal with. Simply put, she was the IT girl of Japan.

The door swung open as a wide grin was graced by the red head whose hair reached past her waist and stopped just above her thighs. Her violet eyes twinkled as she quickly ushered her guest in and closed the door with a quick hum.

"Kyoko- you look beautiful." Suzuki Kagari voiced, pulling the younger female into a tight embrace as Kyoko could only chuckle before pulling away a few moments later and taking off her sunglasses to prevail twinkling eyes. Dressed in a lavender top and simply black jeans that drew attention to the actresses' long legs, Kyoko was clothed casually yet no worries were to be taken as though her reputation proceeded her, she was certain America would fail to realize of her standings. She was still a growing actress and to think such a high thought towards the highly industrialized country seemed like treason.

"Please Kagari -kun, not as much as you. You look radiant." Kyoko muttered with a blush of embarrassment on her cheeks as her companion only laughed and shook her head before gesturing towards the room at the far end of the apartment; taking notice of her friends nervous and twitching hands of impatience. Kagari had been Kyoko's friend ever since childhood and though rarely seen in the depths of youth nor when the marriage of the older female was finalized with her high school sweetheart who worked overseas, they hadn't seen each other until the day Kyoko called up the only one she was positive she could trust- especially in the situation she was stuck in, one only her sister-like figure would even begin to sympathize on along with her husbands' approval as Shinn-kun and Kyoko were on terms that proceeded a female and her brother in law.

Before she could open her mouth, the red head beat her to it with a small grin. "He's in the living room, watching TV with Kaito." Kaito was Kagari and Shinn's child of six years who was doted on and given only the best by his loving mother and guilty father who worked overtime far too much for his own comfort. Kyoko could only offer a thankful smile before sighing.

"I don't know how I can ever repay you, Kagari. This goes beyond anything anyone has ever done for me." Kagari shook off the compliments and gripped Kyoko's hand with understanding as she shook her hand and grimaced at the past.

"Please Kyoko; you couldn't have done this yourself and Shinn and I were more than happy to help. Especially with that bastard still walking around oblivious." Kyoko flinched at the intended snark at the man who very much ruined her life yet gave her so much more in return. Kagari sighed, crossing her hands across her torso as they had reached the intended destination and peered in with a small frown. "Kaito's going to miss him almost as much as I am if not more."

Kyoko could only watch and listen to her best friend over the years as she felt her heart clench at what was on the television and made her anger and grudges peer out for energy. As soon as the feeling appeared, it was gone as the older blonde boy of eight turned in his seat and offered grinned a heart-warming welcome.

"Mommy." He exclaimed before jumping off the couch with a grace as Kaito peered over the couch with his dark black pile of hair, showing interest in his "Aunt Kyoko", offering a wave and large smile as Kyoko waved back before pulling the blonde boy into her arms with a laugh.

"Hiro; I've missed you so much." She mumbled softly, leaving a light kiss upon her child's forehead and holding him tight in her embrace as the boy sighed and wrapped his arms around her neck.

"I missed you too, mommy."
