The sunrays entered through the bamboo binds into the face of the still sleeping Misao. She opened one eye and looked at the time on the clock it was 8:30am. Immediately she jumped off the bed, kicking the blanket down and started "Ahh!! I am late!! Jiya, why didn't you wake me up?" Suddenly a reminder came to her overworked brain "Oh yeah, I am on leave." She run her hand through her messy hair and turned the knob of her room door, the smell of Jiya's delicious cooking hitting her in the nose. "Morning sleepy head." Greeted Jiya as he set a plate of pancakes on the table. Jiya was Misao's grandfather and also her father at the same time as Misao's mum was a single mum. "Morning Jiya, what's cooking?" as she sat down on the chair "Some pancakes, tempuras, salads and rice." "Jiya, wanna go touring with me?" Jiya stared at her as if she was crazy "What for? You never allowed Jiya on any of your trips with your friends. Go and ask your friends." "I did called them yesterday and they said that they can't as they are all busy and this leave was so sudden, not giving enough time to organize. So How?" "Can't Misao-chan. I have a tight planning ahead of me today. First- is to say 'Hi' to my old friends then meeting my friend for lunch then dancing all the way." "What a tight planning." Misao said sarcastically as she stuffed a tempura in her mouth before continuing "Then what am going to go? I am going crazy." "Go to the zoo then." "Zoo? Sound like a good idea."
After breakfast, Misao headed to the zoo and was admiring the animals there suddenly questions popped into her mind "Who am I? What the reasons I came into this world for?" Feeling confused, she put both hands into the pockets of her trench coat before making her ways toward the baboon open enclosure where two couples were throwing food to the animal. She saw a table with metal bowls of bread and banana in it and read the sigh "Please pay ¥100 before taking. Thank you." Misao then took out her wallet and fished out ¥100, putting the money into the metal boy attached to the table. Before she could take a bowl, a large hand reached out and took the bowl she was about to take. "Hey!" Misao stared at the person angrily; she had no choice but to fish out another ¥100 and take another bowl.
The guy who took the bowl, which she paid for, was tall and handsome with long bangs covering his face. He was wearing a black sweater with leather jacket and jeans. He had thrown all the food to the baboon and put back the empty bowl replacing his empty large hands with five more bowls without paying at all. "Hey Mr. you didn't pay for it!" Misao by now was pissed off. He looked at all and continued throwing the food to the monkeys. Misao too, continued throwing "I don't have the money for it." Misao stared at the guy beside her who had just spoken "I beg your pardon?" "I said that I don't have enough money to pay." "Then in the first place why did you take the food?" "Because I pitied the poor monkeys out there." The other two couple on the other side was staring at them and whispering, "Che, they don't have the sense to pay for it." Misao heard this, fished out another ¥500 putting it into the box. Suddenly he spoke up "Have you ever wondered who you are? And what the reasons you came into this world for" Misao was taken back "How did this guy know what I was thinking?" Just when she was about to ask him that question he had disappeared.
After three bowls of feeding the monkeys, Misao sat down on the bench nearby, re-tying her ocean blue scarf around her neck as the wind had picked up. "It is a good thing that I had burdened myself up." She thought to herself. She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, a black trench coat with PVC long black skirt with her hair tied up in braids. The guy from earlier came back and was now sitting beside her. "Coffee?" The guy offered a can of Pokka Black Coffee, which Misao took. "I thought you didn't had the money?" "Err...I had the money..." "How dare you!" "It is not my fault that you paid for it." "Fine! I shall this as a payment you owe me." "Since when did I owe you?" "Just now when I paid for your bowls." "Really? I didn't ask you to pay." He shot back and before taking a long sip of the coffee and continued, "Do you mind telling me why you ladies love carrying branded handbag?" The guy pointed to the Dion handbag she had on her lap. "Branded goods last longer then the 'normal' ones as each materials are first-class and carefully picked by the designers and each parts are made by different experts that is why branded goods last longer and therefore cost more." "Wow. You seemed to be an expert." "I am." "Then again, don't you find the women dumb enough to fish out so much on a handbag. They can always use the money for other better things." "It is the clothes that made a woman." "And it is the clothes that kills a woman." Misao tightened her grip on her handbag and then softened again as the questions came to her mind. "By the way, what do you mean by your question "Who am I?" and "What the reasons you came into this world for" "My questions? It is yours, I heard it when you was mumbling to yourself and I know the answer to your question." Misao's ocean-blue eyes sparkled "Really? Tell me!" "Can't, I got to go!" The guy stood up and jogs away, turning back to have a last look at her before he disappeared around a bend. Misao stood up and walked away slowly toward home "Hey, I never got your name." She thought to herself.
Aoshi had earlier gone to the zoo for a job interview but was rejected as the director say that the woman would come to the zoo to look at him instead of the animals. He met the woman whom he saw coming out of the Dion building yesterday. Now he was in 7-11 buying magazine and a can of tea. Drinking up the last drop and dumping the can into the bin, he hailed down a taxi "Shinomori Tea Mansion" "Hai" He flipped through the magazine suddenly a page caught his eyes. It was the same lady at the zoo and the Dion building. On the left page in the middle was large picture of her in black sweater and long PVC skirt outside the Dion building and surrounding the large picture was small pictures of her doing various things such as her on the phone or at the computer. On the right page, the headline was 'Makimachi Misao- Dion's Star' with her interview and bits of information about her. Aoshi stared at her smiling pictures so now he know what to do next, with that he shut the magazine.
