As usual Lory somehow contrived it so all Love me ladies would get the same offer at exactly the same time but he personally delivered Kyoko's as the mariachi band rang out in the corridor Kyoko prayed to any god listening that her hunch to the origin was incorrect but as Lory danced in swinging his jewel red cape Kyoko wished to sink into the floor fully aware of the titters already starting around the room as one by one the band members entered still playing and behind them chuckling gaily came the principle herself.
"Number one report!" Came Lory's authoritative voice as Kyoko somewhat reluctantly stood "President?" The whispers that followed her word were different, 'this was the LME president? what was going on? Was he filming? Was this all a big show for something to come? Was he going to be running auditions at the school or something? What was he doing with Mogami? It's true that Kyoko had never really made friends at school Mimori had made sure of that, but it was also true that most of the students had a begrudging respect for the girl with golden eyes.
"Kyoko-San I have a very important delivery for you." Again more whispers,the president of LME was acting as a messenger for her? Who was this girl? At this point Lory seemed to have a little sense at least. "Sawara-San did offer to give it too you but I was just to excited to wait!" Lory said smiling broadly as he held out a thick brown envelope Kyoko slowly walked between the isle of chairs and slowly reached out for the envelope before hesitating slightly.
"May I ask what it is?" Kyoko asked as her hand shook slightly, Lory normally would have insisted she open it to find out, but by this point his excitement was so palpable and Kyoko looked so worried that Lory decided to answer her honestly. "This Kyoko is your wish come true... and your debut." Lory said as he pushed the envelope toward her once more she took it this time eyes wide and mouth hanging open as she starred at him.
"But... but... sir! I thought I would not be allowed to debut until I graduated the Love Me section!" A few titters could be heard as she said the name of Lory's most infamous section her section. Lory grinned wider "well lets just say this a group project shall we? Or shall I make it a Love Me task? After all...all of you will be involved." That was the magic word's Lory realized as Kyoko easily slit open the envelope neatly sliding out the leather bound script inside. Kyoko knew instantly the president had something to do with this... no one else she knew would leather bind a script she rand her fingers gently over the cover reading the title "The Weaver, The Robin and their Nightingale." in gold, below it also in the same gold filigree was the symbol of a golden bird in a golden cage, it was beautiful in Kyoko's opinion as she final lowered her eyes to the bottom of the cover and her suspicion was instantly confirmed as there in gold filigree it read 'An LME Production'
Kyoko lifted her eyes from the cover and back to the presidents, Lory could see the pure emotion in Kyoko's eyes as he smiled kindly at her "So Mogami Kyoko will you do me the honor of taking one of the leading roles in my new production?" Lory asked her formally, Kyoko couldn't help it as she swiped the tears that fell from her eyes away, this was a moment for joy not tears as Kyoko nodded with exuberance "Yes sir! yes I will!" she managed to say as Lory's smile became ebullient.
"Then let us go!" Lory cried as he spun around his cape flowing over Kyoko's head as she remembered exactly where she was "But president... I still have classes today." the teacher and the principle both laughed as Lory instantly deflated, instantly installing his puppy dog eyes and looking around at anyone that could possibly award him his desire. "Oh go on Mogami-san, no one is a match for the great Takarada Lory when he's on the war path." Kyoko couldn't help but smile when Lory let out and excited squeak, she didn't really pay attention to the other students as she collected her things and bowed to her tutor who smiled indulgently. If the students where not overly keen on Kyoko the teachers where just before she excited the door the principle had already led Lory and his mariachi band out of Kyoko bowed to the room as a whole and once the door was shut the silence that had reined for longer then the tutor had thought possible exploded as all the students present started shouting questions around, Mogami Kyoko was now defiantly going to be the topic on everybody's lips.
Chiori looked at her manager who passed her the brown envelope as she stepped off the set for the last time that day "This just arrived from LME for you Chiori-chan" her manager said as she passed it over it only took her as few moments to open and read the presidents hand written note inside she looked from it to the leather bound script in her other hand then back again, her heart fluttering in her chest as she again read the letter.
"Yoshimoto-san I know we were supposed to be finished for the day here but would you mind dropping me off at LME rather than at home?" she asked politely as Yoshimoto nodded but looked at her curiously "Why Chiori-chan? I didn't think you where scheduled for Love Me work today?" the smile that crossed Chiori's face in that moment was a true jubilant smile.
"I'm not." she replied smile growing wider if possible as she handed the letter over to her manager to read as she hugged the leather bound script to her chest tightly, her heart felt like it would leap from her chest as the thought of working with both her friend sank slowly into her soul and all she could think in that moment was 'I can't wait'
Sebastian knock gently on the Love Me locker room door as he held the envelope tightly, it didn't take very long for the door to be pulled open "Hello, welcome to the Love Me section how can I help you today?" Kanae answered the door halfheartedly in the manner Lory insisted on. Sebastian couldn't help but smile as Kanae looked at him curiously, It wasn't often Kanae had seen the aid without Lory present.
"I was asked to give you this Kotonami-san, I've been told its highest priority." Kanae sighed slightly as she took the envelope from Sebastian's hand "Isn't it always?" Kanae said as she looked at the front of the envelope surprised to see it was addressed to her and not another addressee she was expected to find and deliver it too. Sebastian chuckled and Kanae was pleased with herself for getting that small emotion from the man who always seemed so stoic.
Would you like a cup of tea?" Kanae offered and for the life of her she had no idea why except for the fact it was a very Kyoko thing to do, normally she would have just taken the instructions or request and shut the door behind her, but she felt almost as if Sebastian was in the same boat as them sometimes, forced by the president into those silly costumes and situations. Sebastian too was surprised by Kanae's kind offer he had to think about it for a moment, Lory would be back he was sure in a little while Mogami-san in tow and surely would head straight for here as this is where the girls would be likely to rush to meet.
"I would be very grateful for a cup, thank you." Kanae opened the door wider and allowed the man entrance, it wasn't until they were both sitting with a cup of chamomile tea Kyoko had brought for them to share that Kanae opened the envelope, Sebastian watched her as she quickly scanned over the letter from the president the only emotion she showed was the slight widening of her eyes as she quickly skipped over to the script. she didn't even give the cover a second glance as she opened it and started flipping through the pages it was then the biggest change over came Kanae as she smiled into the pages before closing the script with a decisive snap.
"For once it seems the president was correct Sebastian-san... this deserves nothing but my top priority." Sebastian nodded and let her see his slight smile "with very good reason Kotonami-san."
It was nearly 40 minutes later when Ren who had just been informed by Yashiro he had at least an hour while Yashiro wen't and spoke to Matsushima about what offers had come in for him, why didn't Ren go and eat so Kyoko would not glare at him for not looking after his charge correctly. Ren had nodded and walked away not sure if he was hungry to be honest but maybe if Kyoko was in today he could ask if she would perhaps like lunch together.
It was only as Ren knocked and entered the Love Me locker room her realized his mistake 'Yes' Kyoko was there but so where a large number of other people including the president all talking excitedly.. to his uttermost shock even Kanae looked like she was talking animatedly to Chiori's manager Yoshimoto who nodded and smiled brightly as Kyoko and Chiori poured over something together almost jumping from their seats.
"Ren!" Lory cried out happily as he tried to back out of the door and leave unnoticed, he couldn't help the internal sigh as everyone looked up at him, not knowing what to say in the circumstances he instantly said the first thing that popped into his head.
"looks like a party in here... where was my invited" He asked trying to make his laugh sound real as Lory looked at him over the rim of his glasses seeing through the facade instantly and his eyes told Ren with that twinkle he had been caught red handed.
"Ahh yes... well I suppose it is." Lory said looking around almost lazily "well its not everyday my love me ladies get there debuts now is it?"
