Hello hello! I'm backkkkk…. For a while. Well I have only written two (and a half) chapters during this break.. I was gonna post it up only after I have written at least five, but I will be going to uni soon, so I probably wont have time to write.. So I decided to post this up first before that.
Anyway, to those who are still reading my fics, I thank you very much! *bows*:) I hope you will enjoy.

"I, too, will take care of the baby."
"T-Thanks! A-A-Ah! L-Look at the time! I need to go now, I promised Taisho and Okami-san to be back by 5pm." Kyouko panicked, "S-See you, Tsuruga-san!" She immediately dashed out of Ren's apartment, and closed the door behind her. W-Why is my heart thumping this quickly? She placed her palm on her chest, feeling her abnormal heartbeat. She continually inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm herself down, but that didn't really work. B-But that smile… In her mind was that gentle look of Tsuruga Ren he had on his face when he told Kyouko he will take care of the baby. She raised her wrist up to check the time, 4.17pm. It wasn't a lie when she said she had to get back by 5pm, and it will take a normal person at least an hour to walk home from Ren's place. Kyouko hurriedly headed towards the lift, still forcing herself to calm down.
She repeatedly pressed 'G' (Ground floor), hoping that the lift can go down at a faster rate, though knowing it was only psychological. *Panting while running to the lift, also repeatedly pressing the button with her trembling hand. Kyouko was in tears.* What.. What was that..? Kyouko's eyes widened at the image that appeared in her mind. Doctor did tell me that my memory might gradually come back when something similar to what happened to me before happens again.. So does that mean.. I have run out of Tsuruga-san's apartment before..? She tried to remember more, but her head seemed to hurt whenever she tries. Feeling all weak, Kyouko leaned against the wall. But why was I crying?
*Ground Floor* The lift door opened as it was announced, but Kyouko was too deep in thought to hear that. She continued to try to remember, to try to retrieve the fragment of her memories.
"Errr… Excuse me? Are you exiting or not..? You are blocking the buttons.."
Realising she was in the way, she quickly apologized and ran out of the lift. Checking the time again, 4.22pm. OH MY GOD, I HAVE WASTED 5 MINUTES NOW! If it weren't for my legs, I would have been able to run back! Her train of thought was disturbed when she heard Ren calling out to her. She turned her head around to see him.
Kyouko couldn't believe what she saw; the creature appearing in front of her was just too bright for her eyes. Just five minutes ago he was all messy and sluggish; and now, he has already shaved and tidied himself up. Kyouko rubbed her eyes, doubting the image before him, and took a good look again. Still, the same image, you can almost see roses sparkling behind him.
"Mogami-san. I don't think you will be able to make it in time if you walk back now, let me give you a ride."
"B-But…" Kyouko looked at her watch, she knew she had to surrender. "Thank you then…"
Kyouko was behaving unusually during the entire trip; she was too stiff, and seemingly nervous about something.
*Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz*
*Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz*
*Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz*
"Ano… Mogami-san..? I think it's your phone.."
"E-E-h? H-H-H-a-a-i!" Kyouko dug her bag searching for the source of the vibration; she finally remembered about the mobile phone that Kanae passed to her when she last met her. "K-Kana-, I mean, Moko-san?" Moko-san, It's Moko-san. Kyouko repeated Kanae's nickname in her mind as Kanae said she used to call her by that name.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO CALL YOU BEFORE YOU ANSWER?"
Kyouko reflexively distanced the mobile phone away from her ears. "Eh? S-Sorry!"
"Mo! Anyway, Takarada-san.. Ah, that's the president of LME, the company that you worked for, remember? He asked you to come to LME tomorrow. You okay with that?"
"I'm free… but… what is it for..?"
"I think it's about coming back to wor—, AH! I'm getting late! I need to go now! Remember, 9am at LME tomorrow. Bye!" *Beep Beep Beep*
Kyouko stared at her phone as Kanae hung up, confused. Whoa! Twelve miss calls, all from Moko-san!
"What's the matter, Mogami-san?"
"Oh, um, Moko-san said Takarada-san asked me to go to LME tomorrow.. but I forgot to ask for the address…"
Takarada-san..? What could that man be planning now..? "Why don't I pick you up tomorrow? It's on the way anyway…" Yeah, right.
"You are going back.. to work..?" Kyouko finally made eye contact with Ren, she had that puppyeyes look directed at Ren at full blast as she waited for his response. Her aim of cooking for Ren was to cheer him up after all, because, according to Yashiro, Ren hasn't turned up for work for a while now and he seemed to be down.
"Y-Yeah…" Ren replied, surprised by Kyouko's reaction. "Ah, we are here now. So, I will come to pick you up at 8.30am tomorrow, okay?"
"Hai! See you tomorrow. Thanks for the ride Tsuruga-san!" Kyouko cheerily skipped away after giving her thanks.
"Neh, Kyouko-chan!" Ren stopped her before she entered Darumaya's. "Thanks.. for the meal. It was delicious. And…" He took a deep breath before he continued, "Sorry for making you worried. See you tomorrow."
The next day…
"M-MOVIE?" Mogami Kyouko was in Takarada Lory's office in LME, along with Tsuruga Ren and Yashiro Yukihito.
"Calm down, Mogami-kun. I understand that you have lost your memory, but I believe that you will manage it somehow. This offer is really interesting you see." Cause of your co-star. Wait, make that co-stars, plural. "Shinya-san would really like you to act in his movie again.. Moreover, don't you think it might help you to regain your memory?"
"B-But, I don't remember how to act!" Kyouko was strongly opposing to the offer, she was not sure how good her acting was before she lost her memory, but she certainly did not have the confident to be able to act at that time.
"Oh, that, you don't have to worry." Lory pointed to the stack of DVDs on his table. "These are all the dramas, MVs, adverts, and TV shows that you have taken part in. The filming won't happen until next week, because one of your co-stars has got some stuff to deal with in his hometown. So during this whole week, you can watch all these to refresh your memory. Of course, you can use our guest room to watch it if you don't have a player at home."
"But—"
*puppyeyes from Lory*
Kyouko surrendered. "Fine.. I will give it a try then. What is the title of the movie?"
"Great! It's an American romantic vampire film called Twilight."
Ren flinched as he heard the name of the movie; he looked at Lory with a surprised look on his face.
"And you will be acting with Ren."
Well, I assumed that most people have read/watched, or at least, heard about Twilight. But it won't make that much of a difference if you haven't though, cause I probably won't be talking much about the scenes in the movie:)
No, I didn't really like the movie -_-" The book was good, though.
