Akito signed as she sat in their family's private box at the opera house. As soon as Kyoko had started pursuing music Akito had gotten the box and taken the young girl to every production she could. Lazily she looked over at her husband who was busy scribbling away on some random pieces of paper. "I swear you do more writing in the strangest places, than you do in you actual office. I should just destroy that room." She said snatching his papers and noticing their unrecognizable gibberish she was used to seeing whenever Shigure begun writing a new story.

"Darling you never told me that Thoru was going to be here. Oh and look she brought her kids." The former dog cooed as he watched the brunette lead in several children as the rest filled in behind her.

"Yes, Kyoko managed to talk the owners of the house to allow the kids at the group homes to come and see the dress rehearsals." Momiji spoke as he entered the booth. "It's one of the things she is most passionate about, you know every city we are in she finds all of the orphanages and if the house won't let them come see dress rehearsals she will drag several of the other stars with her to do small performances."

"How is she faring?" the former god asked as she looked over to the half German man. When they all had arrive Akito nearly pummeled the French woman, after learning of her involvement it took nearly everyone involved to convince the former god to wait to fire the woman.

"Well the madam has been kicked out of the dressing room by Aya." He said with a laugh. As he remembered the former snake managing to look threating with a four month old strapped to his chest. "She should be ready soon, thought there is still one costume that isn't done."

"What is she starting with?" Shigure asked as the lights began to dim.

"Memories Reprise." he said as the curtains began to open.

"What is she wearing?!" Akito nearly shouted looking at her.

"Memory,

Turn your face to the moonlight let your memory lead you,

Open up, enter in,

If you find there the meaning of what happiness is,

Then a new life will begin."

As the teen began to sing she sat on a suspended rig that with the added attachment s looked like she was sitting atop of a roof, she was purposefully not looking at the audience and instead looking towards the left wing of the stage. She wore a faded pink Kimono that was haphazardly tied close, the back hanging to far down to be traditional and the sleeves hung way to long for her arms. Her hair looked like it had been teased to looked like it hadn't been brushed in a while and on top of her head she wore a set of cat ears that matched her hair perfectly. It was all that Momiji could do to not laugh. I think Ayame would be dead if Kyo saw this, even if the song comes from the musical Cats.

As the teen continued to sing on you could feel the longing in her voice, it was something that no one had ever taught her how to do but she just knew. Whatever the song she somehow was able to make the audience feel the true emotions behind the song and as she reached the climax he sat closer to the edge of his seat.

"Touch me,

It's so easy to leave me,

All alone with a memory,

Of my days in the sun."

As she had begun to reach the climax of the song she turned her head to the audience and reached out her hand towards them the long sleeves falling away revealing her delicate wrist, as tears began to stream down her face. All Momiji could feel was loneliest and desperation for any kind of human contact. Wishing desperately that Hanna could have been here he glanced over and noticed that Akito and Shigure were clinging to each other's hands rather tightly.

"If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is,

Look, a new day has begun."

At the last line she looked over to the private boxes to the right of the stage and raised her hand as if she was pointing at an object that was hanging above their head, and retracted back and the curtain began to close. Momiji looked down at Thoru as she sat tears streaming down her face she turned to one of the other workers and soon walked out. Momiji quickly walked out of the booth and made his way to the lobby. He caught her just before she could walk out of the building.

"Thoru what's wrong?" he asked looking at the tears that still were running down her face.

"Nothing, I was just thinking…" she said quietly as she tried to pull away.

"About what?" he said the grip his hand had on her wrist remained firm.

"Kyo" she said as she broke down in to more tears. She curled down on to her knees as heart retching tears rolled down her face.

"What about him?" he crouched down next to the ball of a woman and waited for her to answer.

"That song, it felt like that could have been him. If the curse hadn't broken." She said quietly. "I remember that Shishou said that almost no one would even touch the cat once he was locked in to that room." The tears continued to come and Momiji sat there releasing the truth behind her words, and he didn't notice the person who came up behind them.

"Mom!?" Kyoko asked as she watched her manager try to comfort her mother. After several moments upon seeing her daughter, Thoru leapt up and wrapped her arms around her daughter, who hugged her mother in confusion as the older woman continued to sob.

"Yes! Yes! I am your mom and your dad is Kyo." She continued to sob clutching her proof that the curse was really gone and that Kyo had never been taken from her. Kyoko looked over at the former rabbit rising and eyebrow as the man shook his head and chuckling.

"Mom what's going on?" she asked cautiously, the sobs stopped all of a sudden.

"Oh nothing" she said almost instantly as she let go of her daughter her once pained face now her normal happy one. "You did so well!" She walked off to go back to work.

"What was that?!" Kyoko asked as she pointed towards her mother's disappearing back. I don't know what that was but it was not my mother, the teen thought as she turned her head towards the former rabbit.

"I don't know the only time I have ever seen your mother to be that emotional was when…" Momiji stopped all of a sudden, pregnant! She is only that emotional when she is pregnant!
