October 31st
"Ren you have a visitor." Lory said as Ren entered his office. After being summoned here on his way to see Kyoko and Toru he only hoped it was something important, but when he saw who was sitting in front of the desk he stiffened, his anger rising.
"Why should I want to see you?" He asked, spitting out the words in rage.
"Because I've come because of the person I love. Even you should be able to understand that." The voice replied in that same cold, anger-filled tone.
"Please Ren, just hear him out. He isn't here to fight and for once his reasons seem pure in intention." He started before turning to Sho, "If you ever touch my daughter again in any manner unbefitting I will see to it that you never work in this industry again." Lory added with force in his voice.
Sho nodded slowly and swallowed hard as he looked between the two men.
"I do not intend to hurt Kyoko-chan, but I'm not sure what her reaction will be to this." He waved the papers in his hand as Ren looked on, a little confused.
"Sit down, Ren. You're hurting my neck having to look up at you." Ren sat slowly in the empty chair as Lory nodded before looking at Sho.
"As we are all here I would now like to read what it is you have there." Lory held his hand out for the papers.
Sho sighed as he split them into two piles before passing them over, one to each man.
"This is my new song. The one Kyoko will be doing the PV for in three days time." he went silent as both men started reading the music and lyrics before them.
"Is this what I think it is?" Lory asked, a little uncertain of what to say to the young man before him.
This may be his best yet.
He thought silently as he slyly looked at Ren to see his reaction. He was silently just staring at the paper. Lory was unsure if he was even reading it anymore but he showed only one certain emotion in the whirling pools of his eyes.
Shock
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Kyoko didn't quite know what to say about the two people following her. Toru was asleep in her arms and it was still early, just hitting 6am. She looked behind herself once more.
God what's going on? I feel like something big is about to happen, but I have no idea as to whether that is a good or bad thing.
"Sweetheart, if you keep looking back you're going to end up falling over your own feet." Lory said as he smiled at her.
She turned back to look ahead as she heard Lory chuckle.
"We are here by invitation Kyoko. There is no need to be so worried. I promise I will do nothing to get in the way of your work so please calm down." Kuon said as he gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
Lory also caught up to their side as they stood before the doors reading studio C. Kyoko nodded as Lory and Kuon took one door each. Pushing them open they entered as a united force.
Sho watched them enter together watching how Ren's hand was placed lovingly at the small of Kyoko's back and the way his hands took the sleeping Toru so lovingly as he held the small child close to him. The obvious love in those eyes stabbed at Sho's heart, but he couldn't be the one to stand by her now. At least not in the way he wanted. He had stupidly stepped down from that role.
I only hope we can still be something to each other.
He thought as he slowly fiddled with his guitar while watching Shoko lead Kyoko and the other guests to the chairs laid out specially for them.
"OK Kyoko-san, if you would all just take a seat for a little while Sho is going to give you a preview of the . From there, we will talk about what we are going to be doing for the PV. Just sit tight while we finish with the set up."Shoko said.
Kyoko nodded and they all sat in silence as Shoko approached Sho, who nodded.
He looks upset.
Kyoko realised as she watched his swift, deft movements on the guitar, yet he still nodded at Shoko as she said something else before walking away. She too looked a little worried about Sho's behaviour. As soon as she stepped away Sho started. Just him on his guitar and a guy playing a piano and a girl with a violin as he sang.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won't be there
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you
No one spoke. As the music drifted away Lory and Kuon were aware that both Kyoko and Sho were in tears. Kyoko knew just what this song meant. She also understood that Sho had finally let her go. This was his apology, him telling her she had achieved her goal. The reason she had entered show business was before her, but at the same time they all knew her reasons had changed. She no longer did it to get back at Sho, she did it now because it was her passion; the same as music was to him.
Ren placed his hand on her shoulder. Slowly she turned to look at him standing beside her now as he smiled down at her.
"Kyoko I think you need to..." He let his sentence slip away. He couldn't quite bring himself to tell her to go to him. Even if he knew that Sho had accepted their relationship, having even given his blessing by inviting him here today. Still he was the one who hurt her, it would always be there at the back of his head. She nodded as she stood and slowly made her way towards the singer who now just stood, watching her reaction. As she slowly walked towards him, the other two musicians had exited the scene. Shoko stood next to Lory and Ren as she watched the two childhood friends speak and then Kyoko embraced Sho in a hug as they both cried again.
"I doubt things will ever be perfect between them, but it shows how much they both have grown to see them accept each other now." Shoko said.
Lory nodded and Ren looked away from the scene. Toru, half-awake, ran his fingers through Ren's hair. As he kissed the child gently he kept telling himself one thing.
She is coming home to my arms, not his. I cannot stop her from having friends if I have her. Just accept it. Even if I can never like him, I can accept it.
Even though he said this, it tried his heart to see her hug one of the people who had locked away her heart.

"OK then, so this is how we are going to work the PV." the director said.
Haruki Asami had produced Sho's last PV Kyoko had worked on, so she was glad to see her here again. Now as they all sat in the conference room with Toru happily chomping on a biscuit in Ren's lap, Asami showed them the first storyboard.
"Basically, we are going to show snippets of both of your lives. The first scene will be the two of you at school together. Sho has insisted we make this as realistic as possible so we will be showing your view of school as well as Sho's view. He will be surrounded by friends and girls where I believe you had quite a lonely school life due to Sho, so we will show some of the bullying that you went through."
Kyoko nodded silently. It was true, she had not had a happy school life, but it had been fine since she had Sho then.
"The next scene will be the one leading to you both leaving home to come to Tokyo. When we reach Tokyo we will be showing how hard you worked to help Sho with his career. Kyoko-san we will show him working on his music while we show you working the 4 jobs to keep a roof over your heads?" Kyoko nodded and Sho dropped his head lower.
He finally truly understands what he did to her now. He has lost her forever.
Lory thought as he watched the singer while also watching Ren, who seemed to be more interested in Toru. Lory knew he was listening to every word.
"Next we come to the important part. Sho has told us how he wants to show this part so he will guide us through the scene. This is the one when he was in his dressing room with Shoko and a burger meal I believe?" Asami smiled at Kyoko who nodded with a slight smile.
"A double cheeseburger meal with extra large fries and an extra large coke." Kyoko insisted as she also smiled along with Asami and Shoko.
"My dearest daughter, is it wise to ask why the meal is important and what you did with said meal?" Lory asked as he looked at the three women's smiling faces.
"Erm, I kinda threw it at Sho's head." she answered rather matter of factly as the two women began to chuckle and Lory and Ren looked stunned.
"She barely missed too." Sho said, smiling slightly and speaking for the first time.
"You know if you hadn't become a wonderful actress, you could have been a good pitcher." he said with all seriousness which broke the tension that had been there since he had finished his performance.
"I didnt think. I was just so angry I threw what was on hand." she said with a wolfish grin.
"Scared me silly." Shoko admitted as Ren and Lory smiled now too.
"Well I will remember not to upset you when you have food nearby." Ren added and at that moment everyone did laugh.
As they all calmed down, Asami continued.
"Next will be your separation scenes, so Takarada-san and Tsuruga-san have agreed to appear with you while Shoko and myself will appear with Sho. We will look at things that have happened between you in that time. For example, little confrontations that occur before moving onto the last scene. Which will be you moving on with your career and Sho moving on with his. It will be you and Toru and perhaps you hinting at another man. With that said, I'm aware you have not officially released you and Tsuruga-san's relationship, so we will not insist on this."
"So basically we are gonna show what a stupid, childish prat I was." Sho said with sour humour as he smiled at her.
"I think we have both grown up from then Sho but yeah you were a spoilt little brat" he chuckled and never denied her words
"So do you understand, Kyoko-san? This is going to be hard on you both as it is real to the two of you. In that sense, this is not just a PV but a replay of your life." all eyes turned to Kyoko.
"As long as my father and Ren see no problem in it, neither do I." both Lory and Ren nodded there acceptance as Toru reached for her.
"Mama! Ugs, ugs." he said as she took him from Ren and hugged him as he demanded.
"Then shall we begin?" she asked in her full, professional manner. Lory couldn't have been more proud of her.
