A week has passed and Kyoko's condition stays the same. By now, the wounds and bruises were almost healed. Still, her head injury is an exception. Her head was still covered with bandages. Her auburn was no where to be seen. "It's been a week now. Did the doctor give an update about her condition?" President Takarada inquired. "He says that anytime now, she could wake up. But we shouldn't get our hopes up too high." Okami-san answered. "So, what do we do to make it certain? Shake her up or something?" Kanae asked. "I really don't think that's quite reasonable." the president cited, deep in thought. "I think it's best to talk to her. We must create an atmosphere where is feels comfortable. Surrounded by things and people she likes. I think that is the best option." he continued.
On the eighth day after the accident, it was Kanae and Maria's turn to look after Kyoko. "Oi, Kanae-neesan, do Oneesama has a special someone? I know she don't have a boyfriend right now but does she have someone she loves?" "I don't know, honestly. Maybe she doesn't have one or she doesn't realize it." "Huh? What do you mean?" asked a very confused Maria. "For one thing, she, Chiori, and I belong to the LoveMe section. It means that we have something we lack. A special feeling that we need that your grandfather is rather obssessed about. The feeling of L-O-V-E." "Hmm..." "Another thing, this girl is pretty oblivious. She may have a person she loves but then again think it's just a mutual respect or trust or even friendship." Hearing these things from Kanae, 'Why am I thinking about Tsuruga-san?' "It's not hard to imagine." Maria replied. "Oh yeah! I heard from the president that your school is having a festival. What's it all about?" "Well, it's for our school's foundation day." "Mo-" Kanae and Maria is still engrossed by their topic that they didn't notice Kyoko's voice. "ko-" "What would you wear for the festival?" "-san." "-still thinking about it." "M-moko-san…" Kanae heard her name and quickly spun around. "Kyoko?" "... Hai." a very faint reply. "Oh my God! I'll call the doctor." Kanae rushed out of the room. "Oneesama?" "... Yes, Ma-maria?" Kyoko replied with a very husky voice. "Why wouldn't you open your eyes, Oneesama?" "I-it h-hurts." Kyoko replied as a tear slips from her eyes. The doctor then arrived with Kanae and few nurses at his tracks. "Kyoko-san, do you hear me?" "Yes." "Doctor, Oneesama said it hurts when she tries to open her eyes." "Hmm... Is that so? Kyoko-san, I would like you to gently and slowly open your eyes. Just bear with the pain a little, okay?" Kyoko slowly open her eyes bearing the pain. But once she opened it, blood rushed through her head and she fainted.
Ren and Yashiro rushed to the hospital as soon as they heard about Kyoko's condition. Upon reaching her room, "Mogami-san?" Ren hastily asked. He then saw Kyoko in her bed with her body lying slightly slanted with her eyes closed. "I thought Kyoko-chan is awake." Yashiro said with a disappointed tone. "I am awake. Tsuruga-san. Yashiro-san." replied Kyoko. "Kyoko-chan!" Yashiro boomed as he goes closer to Kyoko. "Why are you still closing your eyes Mogami-san?" "She can't open it." answered Kanae. "Why?" "I don't want to see that again." "See what Kotonami-san?" "Moko-san." Kyoko tried to protest. "She tried to open it moments after she woke up. But once she opened it, blood rushed to her face and she fainted." "What? What's wrong?" a panicked Ren hastily asked as he rushed over to her side. "It's okay, Tsuruga-san. It's just that some wounds in my head are not yet healed. The doctor said I just have to rest for a few days to let it heal a little more. For the meantime, I just have to pretend I'm blind." Kyoko said and smiled. 'He was worried about me. So happy. Good thing that the pulse indicator was removed. It would be very embarassing to hear my heart beats to fast.' Kyoko thought. 'That's a relief. She's finally awake and safe. I really missed her gold eyes though.' Ren thought as he lovingly watches Kyoko. Noticing the affectionate look Ren was giving to her talent, "Don't you worry, dear. I'll take great care of you." her manager said.
"Mogami-san! It's really a fantastic news to finally see you awake!" said the eccentric president as he noisily made way to Kyoko. "Thank you president." "By the way, where's Yui-san?" he asked as he scanned the room. "She's looking for snacks and drinks. She's with Kotonami-san." replied Ren. "So I see. She's really like a mother to you." the president commented. "Yes. It really gives a nice feeling. Thank you for choosing her as my manager President Takarada." "No problem." beamed the president. "Eto.." "What is it Mogami-san?" inquired Ren. "Everyone, I would like to say sorry for worrying all of you." "Yes! You should be, Kuon. Especially when we come here just to see you." "Honey, don't say that." boomed the famous couple. "Otousan? Okaasan?" "Yes, Kuon?" Ren was so stunned to see his parents in the flesh. Meanwhile Yashiro squeaks like a fan-girl as he saw who suddenly barged in the room. Recovering from his shock, Ren then glares at the president, demanding for an explanation. Feeling the death-glare Ren was giving him, "Kuu, I thought you're not arriving until later." "Well, we finished ahead of schedule. Besides, I'm itching to see my Kuon." Julie went to Kyoko's bed and sit beside her. "I'm sorry if we didn't arrive sooner. When we heard about what happened, we really want to rush here but our commitments kept us." "Its okay, Okaasan. I don't want to be a bother. Besides, I wouldn't want you to see me still asleep." After talking with the president Kuu positioned himself in the other side of the bed, putting his arm around Kyoko's petite form. "Boss informed us about your eyes. So how do you feel? Does it hurt?" asked a very concerned Kuu. "Its okay, Otousan. It doesn't hurt as long as I keep it shut." Admiring the scene of Kyoko surrounded by his parents, Ren couldn't help but smile and thought how nice Kyoko fits in his family. Yui-san and Kanae then arrived with a handful of snacks. While eating, Ren focused his attention on his beloved patient. Kuu and Julie were in the either side of Kyoko making her cozy and comfy. Julie stole a glance on her son and saw his son's warm gaze on Kyoko. 'What a warm gaze.' She stared back on Kyoko and back again to her son. But this time, their eyes met. Julie smiled at her son and Ren lightly nodded. 'Damn, she caught me. I hope I'm not blushing. I miss you, mom.' Ren thought as he made a quick look on his mother.
After they ate, Yashiro tapped Ren's shoulder and signaled to go. "We better get going now. We had some business to attend to. Take care, Mogami-san." Ren said. "So do I. Well now, get well Mogami-san. Kotonami-san, you better hitch a ride with me. Since were going at the same direction." Kanae just nodded. "Well then, goodbye. Take care." Kyoko happily said.
Left with only her manager and the famous couple, Kyoko was in bliss. "Otousan, Okaasan, did you already meet my manager?" "We were not properly introduced I think." Kuu gleefully answered. "Well then, I am Julie and this is my husband Kuu." Julie said as she shook Yui-san's hands. "Nice to meet you Mr. & Mrs. Hizuri. I am Fumina Yui. I'm Kyoko's present manager. Kyoko talks about you all the time. You can call me Yui." "Then you should call us Kuu and Julie too. Don't be to formal. Thank you for taking care of this little girl here." Kuu answered as he tickles Kyoko. "Otousan, no!" Kyoko resisted. While Kyoko and Kuu were having fun tickling each other, the two women had their private conversation. "So what do you think of Tsuruga-san?" Yui-san questioned Julie out of the blue. "Ah! You found out about that too?" "Anyone can get the idea just by looking at that boy. And especially cause his looking at my child. What do you call that? Ah, mother instincts. You should have seen the look on Tsuruga-san face in the 7 days Kyoko was asleep. He seems to be in total despair. One mistake and he will surely break." "But I don't think he made his move yet." Julie stated. "Kyoko is so oblivious to notice his intentions. But I do hope he's going to make it clear soon. Especially, when that blond singer persistantly visits here often. But of course, Kanae and I won't let him in."
