Fixed.

I OWN NOTHING!


~Back at LME~

Ren just stood there watching the woman he loves walk right out of his life and back to a woman who didn't have the right to order kyoko around. Ren could fell his heart tear in two and he was about to break down right there in the lobby of LME for everyone to see but he didn't care because nothing mattered if kyoko was gone. But just as he was about to fall to his knees his manager showed up.

"Ren what's wrong? I thought you said you saw kyoko?" Asked yashiro.

"Gone." Ren said in a low whisper while still trying to figure out what to do.

"What? What's gone?" Yashiro questioned while looking around trying to figure out what his charge was talking about. 'Sometimes I just don't get this man' He thought.

"She's gone. Kyoko's gone." Ren said finally looking back at yashiro. Yashiro was shocked at the pained look in rens eyes. He had never seen such a look before. The look in rens eyes just made yashiro even more confused. ' Jeez Ren I know you love her and all but I'm sure you can go alittle bit without her being near you at all times. What am I going to do with him?' Thought yashiro with a sigh.

"Ren there's no reason to look like that. I'm sure she just had another job. She'll be back later." But all Ren did was shake his head. with each minute yashiro is getting more confused with how Ren was acting and not explaining things.

"No she won't be back. Her mother took her away. Away from work and away from me." Saying it aloud just made everything seem all the more real and Ren knew he couldn't hold it in any longer and just started walking away not knowing where he was going but he knew he had to get out of the lobby. Then what Ren has just said hit yashiro like a ton of bricks and he came to a sudden stop with wide eyes and screamed.

"WHAT!?"

"What do you mean her mother came and took her away? And you let her go? Why didn't you stop her?" After hearing yashiro say all this Ren snapped. He wanted to stop her but couldn't. Ren turned around to face yashiro. Yashiro turned white when he came face to face with the demon lord, he knew he crossed the line.

"Li-Listen Ren I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say all that. I-it's just.." Yashiro trailed off not knowing what to say to a Ren like this. Ren saw that his manager didn't mean what he said and was just shocked. Ren then felt bad for snapping at him like that but he just couldn't control himself right now.

"No I'm sorry yashiro. I just don't know what to do. I tried to stop her but I couldn't. Kyoko didn't want to go but her mother is someone who will always be able to push her around. I just don't know what to do."

"Well isn't there something? I mean kyoko-chan is 17 years old and about to be 18 in a few months. By law her mother has no right. And if what you said was true about her not wanting to go well then she doesn't have to. So isn't there anything we can do to bring kyoko-chan back?" Ren just shook his head. He knew kyokos mother had no right and by law kyoko didn't have to go . But he knew the relationship kyoko had with her mother and how all kyoko wanted was her mother's approval. ' I wish there was something I could do. I know kyoko doesn't want this but she can't say no to that 's willing to give up her own happiness just to get the approval from someone who left her. Ugh this is so hard... Wait! There is someone who maybe able to her.' Thought Ren when an idea hit him and he started walking in the direction of the president of LME's office leaving yashiro behind once again confused.

"Ren what are you doing? Or should I say where are you going? You have a shoot in an hour." Yashiro said trying to keep up with the long legged actor.

" I have to go see Lory. He may know what to do. Yashiro, can you do me a favor and cancel all my work I have this morning? Tell them I'm truly sorry but something came up. I'll make it to the work I have this afternoon." And with that Ren made his was to lory's office while yashiro stood still with shock at what Ren just said. ' Ca-Cancel th-the mornings wo-work? I can't believe what I just heard. The 'Tsuruga Ren' just asked to cancel work. Hmm well I guess when it comes to kyoko he really will do anything' yashiro thought with a like chuckle to himself at the end of his thoughts and with that went and did what his charge asked him to do still alittle in shock on what happened.

Ren walked right into lory's office without knocking and without noticing that lory was dressed as a 19th century British man.

"Lory we need to talk. kyoko sh-." Ren stopped talking mid-sentence when he saw maria start running towards him but stopped the minute he said kyokos name. 'Should I tell her? I don't think I should say anything to her about kyoko right now. But uh I think it's too late. She heard me say kyoko.' Thought Ren when he saw maria stop right in front of him looking up with a confused look.

"Ah Ren. Yes we should talk. Uh...Maria can you go outside for alittle bit? I need to talk to Ren alone." Lory said getting up from behind his desk to walk over to the little 8 year old and Ren.

"No. What's wrong with big sister?" Maria asked looking from her grandfather to Ren.

"Uh...Um." 'Should I tell her? Maria will be heart broken. And Ren god knows what kind of mood he's in right no. But I suppose she'll find out sooner or later.' Lory thought. With a sigh he turned towards the waiting maria.

"Maria, I know how much you like kyoko-chan but today her mother came and took her home." Lory said putting a hand on maria's shoulder.

"WHAT!?...Wait if big sister just went home that means she'll be back right?" Maria said alittle confused as to why it was a big deal that kyoko went home but when her grandfather just shook his head she felt tears start to fall from her eyes.

"No maria. I am so sorry but kyoko-chan will not be coming back." Lory went to pick up maria when he saw that after he said that she broke down crying but she backed away and fell to the floor. Seeing this lory picked her up and this time she did not move and he carried her to his chair to sit down. When lory looked up Ren was glaring at him but behind that glare was pain.

"YOU KNEW!" Ren hissed at lory. This was not a question. Ren was beyond mad at the fact that lory would hide something like this.

Lory sighed and said "Yes Ren. I knew that her mother would be coming for her. Kyoko-chan's mother called me about a week ago but I refused to let her contact kyoko but I guess that just made it worse. When she got here someone told me. I was wondering when you would show up. Ren I am so sorry about all of this. I know how much you love her and sorry about not telling you." Lory said with a sorry look. Ren knew he shouldn't be mad at lory but everything was happening so fast he couldn't help it.

"A week ago? How come you didn't tell kyoko or myself? Why didn't you stop her? Can't you do anything about this?" Ren asked with his anger just building up.

"Ren what would you like me to do? Have you met her mother? She's one scary woman. She sent chills down my spine. And the reason I didn't tell kyoko-chan or yourself was because I didn't think that woman would come and get kyoko-chan. And plus you guys were happy for once and I didn't want to ruin it by saying her mother called without knowing if kyoko-chans mother would try anything. She has every right to take kyoko. She is her mother." Lory said still holding a crying maria who just keeps saying ' I want big sister or Get her back' stuff along the lines of that.

"She is not a mother." Ren hissed but he knew the president was right but that didn't help. He just wanted kyoko. Wanted her back with him here. Ren knowing he couldn't do anything more just stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him. While lory tried calming a broken maria and hoping someone could help the broken 'Tsuruga Ren'
