Ren continued his work undercover as Cain Heel who acted Kuon but he couldn't help remembering what happened in his hotel room with Kyoko. He couldn't forget the look on her face when she woke up screaming and the words she said afterwards. He knew there was something going on though he didn't feel it was right to divulge into her past but he couldn't let the matter drop. So when a break came he went up to Kaede and they retired to his dressing room. "Yashiro what is going on why did she not come today. I need to know why my beloved sister is not here." "Cain your sister still needed time to recover and the boss said if you wanted to talk to him you could after we are done here." "Well that sounds like a plan and I have some serious questions for my uncle."

Once done with at the set of Assassins Oath Yashiro and Ren left for LME. "Uncle what is going on with Kyoko she just bailed on me she's suppose to be acting not only as my beloved sister but also opposite me in this movie," asked a very upset Ren. Lory replied "Look Kyoko has some personal issues to deal with and being on the set may have brought back some very traumatic memories for her. Also your talk a few nights ago did not help at all." "What talk you mean the one she and I had when she mentioned she could not love anyone to closely, why would that stop her from acting?"asked a confused Ren. Lory responded "All I can tell you is six years ago Kyoko lost someone really close to her though I cannot go into great detail she after that incident decided to no longer model but she is still a wonderful actress. But in regards to the movie and I have also discussed this with Kyoko, she will still be playing your sister however she may not always be on the set as the same time as you all the time. The movie will be fit into both your and her schedules accordingly. If want to know more about why Kyoko could not be with these past two days you will have to ask her yourself." Ren was a bit taken aback by what is uncle said but he did not argue with his uncle as Lory helped him and his sister Maria so much these past six years as well. So he and Yashiro and Ren left the president's office and Ren drove Yashiro to his home before he continued on to his home. After parking his silver Porsche in the underground parking lot of his building he walked towards the elevator that would take him to the twentieth floor where he lived. As he entered his apartment he was greeted by his little sister. "Ren your home, I thought you had more work to do," asked Maria. "I am home dear little sister because my work is done for the day. How was your day?" "School was good and so were my dance lessons and piano lessons though I wish you let me take acting lessons I really want to understand your world more,"replied Maria. "Maria you are eighteen and I know you would love to act but it would be better if you focused on what you are so good at you are more musically inclined than I am. This will still allow you to still be in the same industry as me but not to deeply remembered what happened when you were fifteen before came over here to live permanently." Maria told her brother that yes she did remember and conceded that her brother was right, so she went back to what she was doing while Ren went into his room to change before going to the kitchen to start their dinner.

Maria was tall for her age and she had beautiful long blond hair that was wavy. She really hated having to remember what happened to her when she was fifteen. Even though her and Ren had been living in Japan for close to four years now it will still hard believe that someone that both her and her brother once trusted could betray them so much. Not even her uncle Lory would truly understand Ren's reason for deciding to bring both him and herself to Tokyo. She believed Ren never felt it was right to tell their uncle the true reason for coming to Tokyo. She just hoped she would never come face to face with Shoko Aki or Fuwa Sho ever again. "Hey Ren are you enjoying working with Kyoko again even though both of you are hiding your true identities again for the sake of the movie." "I guessing Airi told yo about the movie after she heard it from her father. Well yes I am enjoying being able to work with her again though I stumbled upon something about her that uncle knows about but he wouldn't give me the full details. She intrigues me, you know my manager I think he may like Kyoko's older sister though he won't admit it." "Really Yashiro likes Kanae well what's not to like she is gorgeous also she is related to the Hizuri's how awesome is that. Also I found out the Kijima is their cousin." "Really I didn't know that, that might explain why he's also in this new movie with me." "Really that is so cool he is playing the bad guy that you and Kyoko are after. I can't wait for the movie to be finished." Ren wholeheartedly agreed with his sister. And as the two continued their nighttime routine when Ren was actually able to spend time with his sister. They both prepared for the next day.

Elsewhere at the Takara home Kyoko was also preparing herself for her work the next day. She had gone to the cemetery earlier in the day to visit Athena's grave. She took some flowers and placed them there. She knew it was the right thing to do. She really missed Athena and could not forgive herself for almost blurting out the whole truth to Ren of all people. She knew she had to tell Kanae and Chiori though she didn't think Yuka and Mimori could handle the news that someone they knew quite well had committed suicide so she would not have to relieve being sexually assaulted day in and day out. Kyoko was trying to figure out how to tell her sisters when Kanae knocked on her bedroom door and then entered, "Hey I had to hear from my manager that you couldn't act at your latest project did something happen. Also Chiori told me that you have been here at home for the past two days why." "When I was being in character for this project I let something slip to Ren about how I don't get to close to anyone or love them to closely for fear of losing them. Then I had a nightmare of an incident that happened six years ago just before I quit modelling professionally." "What happened six years ago I mean mom and dad didn't even hound you about that decision to stop modelling even aunty Julie and uncle Kuu didn't pester you about it either." "Remember Athena?" "Yes I remember her she was close to both you, Itsumi and me, why?" "Well she was going through a rough time six years ago, remember when me and Athena had to go to Hokkaido for a shoot for Rmandy" Kanae nodded as Kyoko continued with her story "while we were there we were invited to party and someone slipped a ruffle into Athena drink and decided to take advantage of her. When she woke up the next day she came to find me and told me what she suspected happened. So I convinced her to go to the police and we did she got tested for rape and it came back positive but they couldn't find the culprit until it was too late. She had become depressed and had to go to counselling and went to her family doctor to find out if a pregnancy had occurred from the rape which she was grateful did not happen. I was doing my best to help her through it but Athena was so depressed that she had become suicidal without her family or counsellor or even me knowing. Both she and I had to do another shoot for Rmandy and I went to her dressing room to collect her and that's when I found her on the floor unconscious I found out later she had overdosed on her anti depressant medicine. She committed suicide because she couldn't live with herself and I her best friend couldn't stop her." "Kyoko you know it wasn't your fault Athena was not someone who was openly willing to talk about things especially when it is something as traumatic as what she went through." "I know it wasn't my fault but I was trying to help her and she wouldn't even tell me she was having thoughts of killing herself." Kyoko couldn't continue on as she broke down crying and Kanae held her sister until her sobs subsided. When Kyoko was able to continue she told her sister that she knows the man who raped Athena however he was someone who had protection. "Who is the person that did it?" Asked Kanae."He is the son of a member of parliament and also in the showbiz industry. He's to well connected that when he does things like this no cop or lawyer can touch him. I just hope he does not ruin someone else's life,"replied Kyoko. Kanae suggested that she take a hot bath and try to get some sleep Kanae said she would stay with her until she could safely fall asleep. So Kyoko did just that and the two sisters fell asleep to peaceful dreams.
