Author's Note: Here we go again! Neither of the series are mine; if you want to know whose they are, see the first chapter.

Kyoko arrived at SEED Record in the same embarrassing pink outfit that she had to wear on all of her Love Me section assignments. The Love Me section was how she had gotten into LME. Apparently, the point of it was to restore emotions of hers that were "missing", although all she and Moko, the section's two members, ever seemed to do was odd jobs for the production company. Besides, she was not "missing" emotions. Sho had stolen them, and she would beat him in show business and then curse his miserable soul as her revenge. An evil-sounding giggle escaped her.

Actually, SEED Records wasn't even part of LME. Apparently Lory had lost a bet with its president and sending Kyoko to be someone's daimane-- substitute manager-- was part of paying for it. From what Kyoko could tell, Lory had told the SEED president about her stint as Ren's manager, which had involved her nursing him through the first cold he'd ever had, and the president had been impressed. Kyoko sighed. The whole thing was so much like President Takarada it wasn't even funny.

She walked up to the front desk and said, "I'm Kyoko, the daimane from LME. I think the president is expecting me…"

"Actually, he left a half hour ago, but he left me directions to send you to the third recording studio on the right," the secretary said. "I'm not sure who you'll be working with, but, apparently, they have the schedule."

Kyoko followed the secretary's instructions and walked up to the door. She could hear a voice inside. It sounded like she was arguing, but no one else was there. Kyoko knocked.

"Coming!" the person inside said.

A teenage girl with curly silver hair and wide eyes opened the door.

"Fullmoon!?" Kyoko gasped.

"Wait, aren't you the girl who plays Mio in Tsukigomori?" Fullmoon asked.

"Yes, I'm Kyoko," Kyoko said. "I'm also your daimane for the time being."

"You're an actor and a daimane?" Fullmoon asked. "Aren't people usually one or the other?"

"It's complicated," Kyoko said.

She ran a hand through her hair. She had the weirdest feeling that someone was staring at her. No, not just someone, four someones. It was really uncomfortable, actually.

"Umm…is there someone else in there with you?" Kyoko asked.

"No! No one! Why do you ask?" Fullmoon asked, panicking.

"'Cause I sort of feel like there's someone staring at me…" Kyoko said, not sure what to do. Fullmoon was obviously not telling her everything, but it wasn't as if she had to. Kyoko was only her daimane.

Fullmoon looked at the air behind her, almost as if she was exchanging a look with someone. Then, she turned back to Kyoko.

"Um, the president gave me this list for you," she said. "I have a pretty easy day today, actually."

Kyoko took the schedule and glanced at it. It really wasn't bad. "All right, we have to get to the music store for your signing first," she said. "I'm sorry, but I don't have a license. Do you drive?"

The look on Fullmoon's face told the whole story. "Maybe Dr. Wakaoji would be willing to help," she suggested.

"Isn't he busy?" Kyoko asked.

"Don't worry, he's really nice!" Fullmoon said. She ran out of the room, with Kyoko following close behind.

"How did you get a job as a daimane without a driver's license?" Dr. Wakaoji asked. Fullmoon and Kyoko were sitting in the back seat of his car.

"The president requested me from…" Kyoko began.

"The president," Dr. Wakaoji said, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. "That explains it."

Fullmoon turned to Kyoko. "What is it like to act in a drama?" she asked, her eyes alight with curiousity. Kyoko was surprised by her enthusiasm. Somehow, Fullmoon seemed younger than sixteen.

"It's a lot of work," Kyoko said. "We have a really full schedule, and I have a lot of lines to learn. But I get to work with really good actors, and I'm learning new things all the time." She smiled. Working with Ren was especially good. Every time she watched him, she learned something new.

"I'm not taking you away from shooting, am I?" Fullmoon asked anxiously.

Kyoko shook her head. "We filmed a lot of my scenes early on. Besides, this is work for the Love…er…my section at LME, so it's more important than my other projects."

"Is that why you're wearing…." Fullmoon trailed off, at a loss to describe the Love Me uniform.

"Yes," Kyoko said. Believe me, if I didn't have to wear this, I wouldn't, she added mentally.

Suddenly, she got the feeling she was being watched again, followed by the feeling that someone was making fun of her. She felt a familiar aura building around her. The Grudge Kyokos, physical manifestations of her anger that had been showing up since she and Sho broke up, rose around her, then attacked the air where she felt someone had been watching her from. Surprisingly enough, the Grudge Kyokos actually caught something. It seemed to be about the size and shape of a teenage boy, and it was putting up quite a struggle.

Oddly enough, Fullmoon seemed to be able to see the Grudge Kyokos, and was trying to get them off of…whatever or whoever they had caught. They were starting to attack Fullmoon, so Kyoko pulled them back. Then, she and Fullmoon stared at each other, wide-eyed and backed up against opposite sides of the car.

"We're here," Dr. Wakaoji said. He looked into the backseat. "Is something wrong?" he asked.

"No!" Kyoko and Fullmoon said at the same time.

"Um…Okay then," Dr. Wakaoji said slowly. "Just call me when the signing is over. Fullmoon has my number."

"Right," Kyoko said, getting out. Both girls waved to Dr. Wakaoji as he drove away.

Kyoko glanced at her cell phone. They had a few minutes before they had to be inside. She grabbed Fullmoon's hand and pulled her to a bench on the street outside of the store.

"I'm sorry," Kyoko said. "That…um…happens sometimes. But usually only if I'm really angry at someone. But there really was someone staring at me, wasn't there?"

Fullmoon seemed to be trying to get away.

"Fullmoon?"

"Um…not really…well…okay, yeah," Fullmoon said. "But it's a secret, okay? They're not supposed to be here."

"It's time for your signing," Kyoko said. "We can talk more afterwards."

Fullmoon smiled. "Okay."

Kyoko hung up. "Wakaoji will be here as soon as he can," she told Fullmoon. "Now, can you possibly explain what is going on?"

Fullmoon didn't seem to hear. She was talking to herself…or rather to whoever the person Kyoko couldn't see was. Or, rather, the people. Fullmoon had said "they" so there really were more than one of them. Kyoko had sensed four people earlier. She wondered if she'd been right.

"Takuto?" Fullmoon asked. "Come on!" She paused. "Takuto!" She paused again. "Takuto!" she said again. This time, it sounded like an order.

Suddenly, there was a puff of smoke, and then a boy was sitting next to Fullmoon.

"Hi," the boy said, waving lazily.

NinthFeather: Guess who that was!

Takuto: They know. If they don't, they're idiots.

NinthFeather: Is that any way to speak to our readers?

Takuto: Whatever.

NinthFeather: Be nice or else.

Takuto: Or else what? You'll kill me?

NinthFeather: Good point.

Mitsuki: Takuto, be nice!

Takuto: Fine.

NinthFeather: How come you listen to her?

Takuto: She's Mitsuki.

NinthFeather: You're hopless. Hey, everybody, please R&R!
