Chapter 7: Lies? Maybe...

"Corn, Corn, look!" The young girl picked up a rock.

"It's like a Hamburg! Ah wait! This one is too! And this one!" The blacked haired girl picked up the many rocks found on the ground and showed them to Corn. She had a grin plastered on her face.

"Ah. What about this one?" Corn picked up a rock that was around him.

The girl turned around to look at him and dropped all the rocks she was holding.

"Your majesty, King Hamburg. I glad to see you're doing so well." She curtsied and Corn started laughing.

Atsuki woke with a jolt.

"Great," she muttered, "I had another dream like that."

She got out of her covers, stood up, then went to the bathroom.

"Fsssssh." The faucet turned on and cold water enveloped Astuki's face.

'Might as well get ready for the day.'

After washing up and walking out of the bathroom, she heard a meow.

"Shoot. I need to take care of Lemons."

Well, that was Evel's new official as of last night nickname. Its quite simple how Evel got that name. As everyone knows, all villains are lemons (Spongebob reference), and one of the enemies of Atsuki's are animals.

Really, quite simple.

She squinted at the newly-hated cat, but picked him up still. Then she walked to the kitchen. She placed the cat in the recently set up litter box and started to make breakfast.

While eating breakfast Atsuki got an idea.

'Maybe that dream of mine will be useful... Not to mention that he stills hangs out with me, even if he doesn't want to remember his past... Soon he'll be mine.' Atsuki grinned mischievously. She frowned though when she looked at her calendar hanging up on the refrigerator. 'Only 27 more days though...'

Kyoko was loitering around LME. She just got finished with a Love Me Task which was petty, and deciding to look around.

"Brrrrrr" Kyoko shook viscously as a new text arrived in her phone.

It said "TSURUGA-SAN" on her phone.

"Kyoko-san, please meet me at the lounge room, room 407, on the fourth floor of the LME building."

Kyoko started to reply: "Hai. And also, please..." But she deleted her draft. This was a small hunch, but something weird might be going on.

Kyoko couldn't help it. She would apologize later.

"That is, if Atsuki deserves an apology." Grudge Kyoko One said.

"Mwahaha. Like we would give her an apology." Grudge Kyoko two said.

"No! Eaves dropping is BAD!" Angel Kyoko said trying to ruin the other's great ideas. They glared, but went away with the angel.

"Ano, Tsuruga-san..." Atsuki started.

"Yes?" Ren replied, having a weird feeling someone is listening in. Or maybe it was rather cold a few seconds ago.

"I have a confession..." She glanced nervously at her right arm,

"What.. Is it?"

"I'm- I'm the girl you met at the river ten years back."

"Oh okay- Wait. I'm sorry, what?" Ren was surprised. After all, he always thought it was Kyoko. Heck, the girl was even named Kyoko.

"Well, Corn, I-"

"Brrrrr!" Ren looked at his phone.

"Uh, I'm sorry, it's my manager." Ren told Atsuki.

"Moshi Moshi? Yes, I'm at LME. Oh? Right. Okay. See you later." Ren closed his phone and put it in his pocket.

"Sorry. I have to go. Can we... Finish this conversation later?" Ren asked.

Atsuki smiled, one with a smile of suspicion hidden underneath. "Why, sure. See you later."

Kyoko hid behind the door as Ren walked out.

Kyoko was also surprised.

'Atsuki called him... Corn. And they met at the river. So?'

Kyoko's thoughts got interrupted.

"Hey Kyoko-san, you can come out!" Atsuki yelled from the room.

Kyoko stepped out from behind the door, determined to know what's going on.

A/N: Look! It's been less than a week! Right? And a cliffhanger... Sorta. Thank you [Cana99] For informing me be about brother. Embarrassing for me. Sorry for any confusion towards anyone! And I have some school going on so I might not have time to update. THANKS FOR ACTUALLY STILL READING THIS! Read, Review, like, SLEEP!
