A/N: In case anyone hasn't notice, I've tried a different writing style for these drabbles from what I've done with my other stuff. I kinda like it. What do you think?

What Had Happened?

When their only son ran off to Tokyo, they had no choice but to disown him. But that didn't mean she didn't keep track of his accomplishments.

Of course both she and her husband were only slightly surprised that Kyoko had gone with him. She could see how much the little girl idolized her son. She often wondered what happened with Kyoko as her son rose into stardom. There was never a mention of her by her son in articles.

It saddened her to see her son's stoic face in pictures. What happened to the smiling cheerful boy that used to run around? Now he only seemed utterly serious in every picture she saw of him.

So of course it was a shock to see his PV for his latest song "Prisoner." The way he looked so vulnerable to the one angel. And not the one he was supposed to be in love with. The girl's acting must have been amazing. She could almost believe that the girl's heart had been twisted into an evil thing.

One day while she was entertaining guests, some of the women brought up the subject of Dark Moon, the remake of Tsukigomori. She listened half heartedly as the customers sang praises for Tsuruga Ren's portrayal of his character.

Her mind snapped to attention when one of the women mentioned an actress named 'Kyoko.'

Surely not the Kyoko she raised almost as if she were her own. Kyoko had expressed no interest in show business. That was just her son. And Kyoko wasn't that unique of a name. It was probably just some other girl. Yet the thoughts of what-if couldn't leave her.

It wasn't until weeks later when she was able to see part of an episode of Dark Moon.

She saw the character Mio and gasped. The cold stare. Hate filled eyes. The aura of superiority. It was almost like seeing at a young, scarred version of Saena. Kyoko's mother.

She knew it in an instant that the young woman on the screen was Kyoko. She used to be so cheerful and light hearted. How could she even pretend to be this... hateful?

What had happened to her?

A/N: I have some of these already written and posted to my writing journal. I just have to put them up.
