Much to Kyoko's surprise, the Hizuri parents show up on the screen. "Oh, hi. Tsuruga Ren, was it?" Kuu starts as Julie waves to Kyoko. "I thought it was Lory calling, seeing as it was his account."

"Mom? Dad?" Kyoko looks at her makeshift parents in surprise.

"Hi, son! It's good to see you again!" Kuu smiles, reassuring her that it was them. "So, why are you guys calling?"

"I'm sorry. Tsuruga-san said he was going to call his parents and it looks like he hit the wrong contact."

"What all did the president say?" Ren asks, slightly puzzled.

"He said to be on standby for something. There wasn't much in the e-mail."

"So he didn't inform you guys?"

"Inform them of what, Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko asks.

He answers her question, but towards the other two. "That publicly it'll stay the same but the underground is being destroyed. With her at least."

Julie looks at Kuu to confirm what she was hearing from her son. "Is it true?"

"What?" Kyoko asks, feeling like she was obviously missing something.

"Yes," Ren answers in English and Julie starts crying.

"Mom?" Kuoko leans forward as if she could lean through the screen and comfort the woman, but is confused even more about the smile on her teary face. Ren takes a moment to remove the 'Ren' wig that was made while he played Cain and Kuu gets teary-eyed, being a second late because his wife's tears surprised him.

"Son..." He sobs.

"Yes, father?" They both ask, but Ren in English to Kyoko's Japanese, which startles her and makes her look at Ren before her eyes go wide.

"Tsuruga-san?!"

"'Kuon'," he corrects, finally.

"What?"

"It's my name. My real and legal name."

"What?" His hair is like Corn's was. All that is different is his eyes-wait. The contacts! But why would he look like him? What's going on? She looks at the screen to where Kuu is holding Julie as she weeps with apparent joy while saying her son has come back to her. Kyoko looks back at Ren as he looks with love to his parents as it has been over six years since he had been himself 'in person' with them.

At that moment the grudges have finally fixed what Natsu broke and have set her back to herself, causing a slight pause as things reconnect to their 'proper' places. Kyoko disconnects with what is happening in front of her an looks inward to process what appears to be happening and holding it up to what she knows. She reaches the conclusion as she stands to looks down at Ren. He's...he is...

"Kyoko-chan?" Ren holds the computer on his lap after it almost fell with her sudden rising. The way the name is said settles it and she runs from the room as he calls after her, stuck on the floor with his tall frame sunk into a beanbag under a laptop.

.o.0.o.

She sprints down the stairwell, her mind going as fast as she is. The place she goes on autopilot is the empty LoveMe locker room. She hurries inside, but can almost sense him coming from somewhere above her, probably in the elevator. With no where else popping in her head, she looks around the locker room for a place to hide. Under the bench is too noticable, and under the desk is too obvious to hide anyway.

She reaches for her locker, but then sees another option. A door that has a sign for it not to be opened. Surely Moko-san won't mind...hers has a tad more room too because I have my spare craft stuff in mine. She slides into the locker carefully, mindful of her friend's things and quietly shuts the door. It isn't two minutes later after she has calmed her breathing when the main door to the room bursts open.

"Kyoko!" Seeing it empty, he sighs and sits on the bench to answer his ringing phone and she listens to his side of the conversation. "Hello? I don't know, she just ran off. Yes, I'm sure. Well why else?" She looks at his blond hair through the locker slits that are open under Kanae's sign. "They didn't? So she is still in the building?" There's a pause before he speaks again. "Well I didn't think she would run off! I've been trying to tell her all night. Hell, for a couple years."

It must be the president.

"Please tell them I'll call them back after we find her, as myself." He sighs. "Yes, I know I shouldn't leave the building without the wig on. I won't screw up six years of hiding myself in one night, but I want to make sure she's okay. No, but she might be thinking something rash. There is? Well how many are there? Damn. I'll make my way back up there carefully then. The LoveMe locker room. No." He looks to the lockers and eyes them closely, making her heart beat quicker. "I guess they could be, but would she really? You're right I guess...I'll check them then before I leave. Yeah, yeah. Just tell mom to cool it and don't let dad board a plane quite yet, okay? Bye." He puts the phone in his pocket and lays back on the bench before letting out a long sigh. "Oh, Kyoko."
