AN: Yeah, for a few chapters I'm not going to deviate. I know this work is Yoshiki Nakamura's. The Dark Moon chapters will start to be quite different because of the relationship with Kyoko and Ren.

Act 87 – Throw those Children

Kanae flinched as she turned to look behind her at where there was a woman with two young boys holding onto her. Kyoko blinked as she took in the woman. She wasn't wearing designer clothes and didn't look like a rich young lady but somehow she knew Moko.

"Yeah!" the woman smiled as she waved to Kanae, "Long time no see," she said with a huge smile on her face. "When was the last time? How are you?" the woman said and Kyoko turned to Kanae who seemed to be becoming a little stressed already.

"It's Kanae Nee-chan!" one of the little boys said and Kanae seemed to shake in irritation and this made Kyoko more confused. Kyoko generally liked the way that Maria looked up to her as an older sister type but this didn't seem to be Moko's reaction when it came to these members of her family, were they part of her family. "Do you know them?" Kyoko asked as she blinked in confusion. Kanae flinched again.

"Kanae Nee-chan!" the little boys yelled as they ran towards her at full speed. Kyoko was amazed by how fast they reacted and how excited they were to see Moko. Of course, she couldn't blame them for being excited by Kanae, she was always excited to see Kanae. Kanae seemed to grab something from her bag and tossed them a far distance seeing both boys rushing after them.

"Take this!" she yelled before grabbing Kyoko's wrist and running at full speed, dragging the other Love Me member behind her. Kyoko was in shock as she was yanked along. What had happened? Why did Moko throw those things to distract the two young boys. Who were they? Were they really her brothers?

"Wha-" Kyoko said as Kanae dashed even faster with Hiou and his manager trailing behind them. "What's wrong Moko-san!?" she yelled and Kanae's facial expression turned even more determined.

"Hurry up!" she yelled back, "with the news circulating from before, the run-away-toy won't last long!" she said and Kyoko felt a twinge of panic go even deeper into her.

"What? Won't last long?" she asked very confused and Kanae didn't even turn back to look at her. "Who was that woman!?" she asked and Kanae shook her head.

"That is a demon! A money eating, demonic woman," Kanae announced without hesitation and Kyoko stared at her in deeper shock. What did that mean? That woman had looked kind and warm but Moko was talking about her as if she had a secretly evil plan. Kyoko didn't really understand it but Kanae snatched something from her pocket and handed it to Kyoko as all four of them kept running. "Anyway, you hold this! Don't drop it! It's the key to my room!"

Kyoko looked at it before smiling, maybe this was still going to be the kind of rich fantasy that she had wanted for Moko. Ren had a similar card to open his apartment but of course they looked different. Kyoko thought about the type of elegance that Ren lived in. This mansion that Kanae was living in must be something extremely high class. She had been correct about Moko being the -the -

As they got to the building, Kyoko stared at it. It looked like a very normal house. It surprised her since it was so normal. She stared at it studying it. This was completely different from the environment she had been envisioning.

Kanae turned to look at Kyoko, still trying to catch her own breath. "You good?" she asked as she saw Kyoko's confused look and Kyoko blinked back at her. "If we also meet a person of my family, we'll never make it," she tried to explain. "We'll take the key around to the garden and use the door there." Kanae stopped as she saw Kyoko with tears in her eyes.

"Uh…why are you crying?" she asked in an uncomfortable manner and Kyoko just turned in her direction.

"It's nothing really just withdrawals from my self-generated fairytales," Kyoko told her. She was a little disappointed and she could admit that to herself. She had hoped that Kanae would be treated like a princess with designer wardrobe and designer clothes but now she could see that Kanae was just a regular girl who wasn't pretending in front of her. Of course, she should have realized this sooner because Kanae was having as many problems as she was paying for the acting classes at LME's training school, she had just let her imagination run wild like it had when she had thought Kuon was a fairy prince.

Kanae blinked but they heard the door open and Kyoko could see another boy standing there. She saw Kanae's back straighten as they both heard the noise. This time, there was a boy and two girls who were looking at Kanae excited.

"Kanae nee-chan!" "It's really Onee-chan!" "Onee-chan's back!"

Kyoko blinked as she saw the three children and turned to Kanae as Kanae looked horrified in their direction. "Your siblings?" she asked and Kanae shook with shock as the three children ran towards her once again. Kyoko stood confused as the children launched at Kanae and Kanae drew more treats from her back which made the children stop before they could push her down. Just like a matador, Kanae threw the treats behind her and instead of jumping on her, the children ran after the treats. Kyoko was completely confused about this but Moko told them to keep running.

"That was awesome Moko-san!" Kyoko said sounding very impressed by this, "Very impressive! A rare sight inde—" As they entered the house, there were even more children there who were looking at the bag that they saw Kanae holding excitedly. They wanted treats too and Kyoko was surprised that kids could get this excited over candy. She had enjoyed it when she had been treated as a child but nothing like this. It was as if this was some strange item they needed for survival.

Kyoko saw about six children run out and she pulled back, how many siblings did Kanae have? They were attacking them from all sides and Kyoko wouldn't be surprised if Kanae told her that they were multiplying in number. They seemed to just appear as if they were created instead of real people.

Kanae pointed forwards at a door that had a card slot, "Quick!" she told Kyoko as she pointed, "Open that door!" Kyoko looked at the door. It looked like a small apartment inside of the house although there were no windows or any way of looking inside. Kyoko was surprised about this, it seemed like a strange part of the house much different from everything else within it.

Kyoko quickly opened the door and then ran in. She was expecting to see the items that Moko had such as a bed or futon, maybe a table but instead she saw four people sitting there playing cards. She blinked. She hadn't expected this. Who were these people?

Kanae fell to her knees as she saw the people at the table. One of them men had more wild hair that was pushed back and the other had more of a formal and professional appearance. There was one woman with long brown hair and the other with short hair.

"Isn't that Kanae?" the older man said as he looked up from over his cards, "Long time no see, were you well, little sister?" they asked and Kanae looked at them, her body shaking with anger. Kyoko was feeling that there wasn't a reason for them to be there or if there was a reason it wasn't something that Kanae didn't like.

…..

…..

After Kanae had stepped into the room and things seemed to calm down, the eldest son pulled out his phone, the eldest daughter had a drink, and the second son was taking a photograph of Kanae, Kyoko, Hiou, and his manager.

"Yeah, it's true mother," the eldest son sobbed as he hung onto the phone tightly. "That unsociable aloof Kanae has finally brought home a friend," he reported.

The eldest daughter stared at her younger brother with tears in her eyes, "Don't you think it's cruel?" she asked to no one in particular, "Not even introducing her to me! When she saw me that girl ran away, you know!? And I was so happy to see her after so long and then gave a prompt report at home."

The second son sat with his camera towards Kyoko and laughed, he had more of a laid back and casual style, this must be something that he felt he could do since he wasn't the eldest brother. He definitely di have a striking difference when it came to his appearance. "That's because every time you see her you always say, lend me some money and extort money from her," the brother admitted and Kyoko blinked.

His sister leaned forwards, her voice still showing her pain, "That's cruel! People who didn't pay rent, got kicked out of their apartment, and then came home like you guys don't have a right to say that," she said and Kyoko still twitched. She wasn't sure what she was doing there and how these people were acting. Were these really Moko's family members? Kanae really had a large family with three older siblings of her own, two sisters in law, seven younger siblings, and multiple nieces and nephews. It was truly the largest family that Kyoko had seen and they all seemed to live together, it was something that she didn't think that she would see.

Kanae sighed as she turned to Kyoko, "It's really hard," she said with a sigh, "even if we don't have the money, our parents'll go on a trip for their anniversary." She gestured to her older siblings, "Sis got snared with a useless man who lived on her money, so she came extorting money from her little sister."

The elder sister sighed as she looked away and Kyoko could sense a slight embarrassment from that, "Because Kanae's the one with the most money," she explained.

"Both my elder bros selfishly made a duplicate key of my room and landed my whole family on me," Kanae said as she gestured to them and they turned to one another, still looking a little sheepish just as the older sister did.

"Because the master bedroom's so cramped, I'm ashamed of myself," the eldest brother said and Kyoko looked at them. As she turned around she missed the fact that all of Kanae's younger siblings and nieces and nephews had grabbed onto her again.

"My little sisters and brothers and nephews and nieces don't even think about one's convenience only caring about their own desires," Kanae said as she handed Kyoko a tray of drinks and Kyoko took it. She stared at Kanae, how she was able to move with so many kids on her was shocking. It took a lot of strength in order to not be weighed down by them.

Kyoko could hear the children begging to be played with and she froze as she saw Kanae's angry face appear. She seemed to toss each child off of her, throwing them across the room and both Kyoko and Hiou stared at her in shock. She was throwing the children? Is this what they were referring to as happened on set? Kyoko blinked. If this happened on set it finally made sense to her but why, why was Moko-chan throwing all the children? Wouldn't they get hurt? There were far too many questions.
