Momiji and Sakura looked up to see Sugishita standing above them. He held his clipboard to his side, grasping it tightly. He looked angry and frantic all at the same time. "What's going on, girls?" he asked, trying to hold back a scream.
Sakura tried to sit up, but the pain in her leg was too much for her to even wiggle her baby toe. "I'm going to kill Sakura," she said, feeling her leg. "Where's my gun, Momiji? I need my gun!"
Momiji bit her lower lip. "Remember, you took it off at the house."
She huffed in frustration. "I can't believe this! That stupid girl was able to get me off my feet!" she looked down at her leg, seeing that it was perfectly straight. "She's lucky she didn't break it."
Sugishita kneeled down. "Kome, are you able to get up?"
She shook her head, giving him her perfect Duh! face. "Of course not, idiot." She looked at Momiji and smiled. "You can do it. I know you can."
"What are you talking about?" she asked, bewildered.
Kome assured her with a wink. "You are my understudy. You can take my place."
"What?!" Momiji and Sugishita exclaimed.

Sakura ran down the hallway, with the trophy in her hand. She was excited and worried all at the same time. Her body craved the excitement, but she was worried that somehow Kome would work up the strength to get up and attack her.
"I did it!" she shouted. "I have beaten the lead! Now I will get it!"
Her mind echoed with applause and approval. She couldn't wait to see Sugishita so he would give her the part of the Kushinada. It was like her dream had finally came true. Now that she believes she secured the lead role, she had also gained Kusanagi as her boyfriend. The whole thought made her smile uncontrollably.
She was suddenly stopped running when a strong hand reached out and pulled her backward. She fell against the concrete wall, landing hard. She cried out, ready to have waterworks.
"Shut up, Sakura," a male voice said in an angry tone. "I know what you did to Kome, and you're not going to get what you want."
Quickly, she looked up to see Kusanagi standing above her. He looked mad and ready to beat her up. However, he would never strike a girl, so she slowly calmed. "What do you mean, Kusanagi? I didn't do anything."
He laughed and picked up the trophy that she dropped while tumbling. "I suppose this has nothing to do with the accident either," he said, and lifted it to her face. "Now, Sakura, you know you're lying to me."
She shook her head. "I am not, Kusanagi. I may be the best actress in the world, but I'm not that good of an actress to be able to lie with a straight face."
He stood up and grinned. "Don't flatter yourself." He was so angry with her. He'd rather have Kome as lead than Sakura. Now it looks like Sakura is going to be the lead, since Kome is hurt.
Could Momiji really be the lead? I did see her practice the lines, but would she want to be the lead opposite to me? I truly feel that she has had enough with me. I don't blame her, since if I caught her kissing a guy, I would be just as mad. It would be nice if she would be the lead female part. Then maybe I could make up with her or at least talk to her during stage breaks…But then she may not want to talk to me…
"What are you thinking about?" Sakura asked, trying to straighten herself against the wall. "And what are you going to do to me?"
He narrowed his eyes at her. He couldn't let her get away with what she was planning from the beginning, plus he wouldn't give her the satisfaction of being in the spotlight. "I know exactly what I'm going to do to you."
She swallowed hard. "Um…help."

"You can do it, Momiji," Kome said, helping her into the Kushinada outfit while leaning on a crutch prop. "You are such a good actress."
Momiji couldn't believe that she is going to be the lead part. Not even in her wildest dreams did she think she would become the star of the show. Well maybe she did dream about it, but she never thought it would happen. She didn't want to pinch herself to see if she was dreaming. She didn't want to wake up from this dream.
After a few moments of intense breathing to relax her, Sugishita wobbled in and called her to go on stage. She turned to Kome, "Thank you, Kome. For everything," she said, and began to walk to the side of the stage.
She waited for her entrance signal. As she did, her eyes shifted over Kusanagi, who was already on stage acting. She couldn't take her eyes off of him. He made her feel so many happy emotions that she needed to be with him in order to keep those feelings. She knew she still loved him, and still hated that he kissed Sakura, but she realized that even over that, she can't stop her love for him.
Once she saw the signal, she entered on stage. Cameras flashed and people clapped. She knew that most of the clapping was coming from the TAC, since they all had signs saying: "We Love Kome!" But once they seen it was Momiji, they quickly crossed out Kome's name and put Momiji's above it.
The play went on smoothly. Momiji was nervous, but those fears disappeared by the middle of the play. She felt so at home on stage, like it was built just for her. The audience felt that too, since they applauded every time she got on stage or she did something amazing. She never wanted the night to end. She had the audience, lead part, and Kusanagi all to herself. It just may be the best night ever.
The end of the play came so fast, which meant the entrance of Orochi. And when the character came on stage a large barrel of laughs came once he or she entered the stage.
Orochi was played by Sakura! Kusanagi grinned in revenge once she looked at him. He must have had the girl who originally played Orochi play the Kushinada's mother so Sakura could be Orochi.
Momiji was surprised, but she was amused by it. She knew that deep down, Sakura really was a monster.
"I will save the Kushinada," Kusanagi shouted, as he ran toward Orochi with his sword drawn out. "He will not kill my bride to be!"
"Oh be careful, Susana-oh," Momiji shouted, and let out a cry.
Kusanagi, as Susana-oh, hit Orochi with his sword, and killed it. Sakura lay on the floor, pretending to be dead. She was whispering profanities that the other characters could hear, but not the audience. Once he killed Orochi he turned to Momiji and smiled with big eyes. He wanted to hug and kiss her, but in the play he knew that the Kushinada doesn't kiss him since they don't show the marriage. So inside he was upset, although no one noticed.
Momiji felt the urge to run over to him. It was too strong for her to just stand there. So she walked over to him. Her heart was beating heavier with every step she took, but she didn't let it stop her. Once she got closer to him she leaped into his arms and said, "I love you Kusanagi." Realizing what she had said, she quickly laughed. "I mean, I love you Susana-oh!"
That was when Kusanagi said, "You had it right the first time." He smiled and tightly held her close to him.
The audience awed and then quickly applauded thinking it was the end of the play, even though there were two more scenes left. The cast didn't mind it wasn't the end so the took their bows.
Off stage, Kome was jumping up and down in excitement, despite her leg being hurt. Sugishita gave her a look and said, "I thought you could barely move your leg, Kome?"
Kome, realizing what she was doing, laughed and stopped hopping. "It was a quick recovery," she replied, trying to hold back a guilty look."
"Yeah right," he said, and went on stage to take a bow.

After the TAC congratulated Momiji she went to her dressing room. When she got there, she was surprised to see Kusanagi sitting on her chair. He looked up at her and smiled.
"I love you, Momiji," he said, and stood up. "And I missed you."
She didn't want to run away from her feeling from him anymore. She hurried over to him and gave him a kiss. It felt so good to kiss him. It released a part of her that was aching. She felt so complete and great from kissing him. She didn't know why she ran away from him for so long.
"I love you, Kusanagi," she said, and squeezed him. "I can't believe I've been a way from you for so long."
"It's been a while, but I never stopped loving you for a second," he said, and backed a way from her slightly. "I always want to be with you, Momiji. You mean so much to me. I'm sorry for what happened before, but I want to start over, if you'll have me."
She smiled. Sakura won't bother them anymore nor will the world. Momiji knew that she could trust him, because he made her feel so warm inside. It was a love that doesn't just happen all the time. It may never come again, so she should accept it and open her heart.
"I'd like that," she replied, and smiled.
He put his coat on her shoulders and they began to walk out of the playhouse. As they were walking, Kusanagi asked, "So, Momiji, where do you think this story will end?"
She smiled, and kissed him. "Happily ever after."
