Chapter 1 - A mother

Guys this is an introduction:

Kyoko (currently): 25 years old

Ren (currently): 29 years old

Rinko: 2 years old

Maria: 18 years old.

Seven years had passed since Kyoko Mogami had debut in the Starworld. As Lory predicted, she became the BOMB of the LME industry. She became a superstar. After the showing of Dark Moon in Japan, she was acknowledged and known by Japan as Mio. Later on, she debut. And now, she was currently the lead actress of an action movie.

Seven years had passed and she had not changed a bit as she stared at her reflection. Not her looks but her personality. She was the same as always. But now, she looked slimmer than before. She tied her long blonde hair one sided, giving off a mature look. She posed at the mirror and smiled at her reflection. And then she headed to the studio.

After four or five hours

Kyoko was dashing to her car. 'I am late again. The director seems to be in a hurry and energetic as always' she thought. She should hurry because it is past 8 and she is going to pick-up Rinko. Boss would surely be angry at her, because again, she was late. Kyoko just sighed. On the way, she thought about those persons that had a big impact in her life. But she thought mostly of him. She had abandoned her revenge for Fuwa Sho, because of him and because of Rinko.

Rinko was her life now. But, even though she had abandoned her revenge, she knew that she couldn't let herself fall in love for the 3rd time. She finally had arrived; she thought that she couldn't because of the long traffic. As expected, she was scolded by the Boss for being late. She sat quietly, accepting all the punishments. She was trembling and a little bit down about her lateness. Where was Rinko?

"Mama! Me heewe." [Mama! Me here!] Rinko burst out from the kitchen. Yes, mother, Kyoko Mogami was a mother and had a lovely daughter that looked like her. Had the same look when she was a child. A little Kyoko, you would call it.

When they reached home, Kyoko kept her promise to Rinko about the cake. She swore to herself, when she found out that she was pregnant of Rinko, she would do her best as her mother. She wouldn't let Rinko experience what she had experienced when she was a child. A child should be cared truly by his mother.

She watched her daughter ate happily. 'That smile' she thought, 'I wouldn't let anyone tainted that innocent smile of hers.' Suddenly, she felt something painfully inside her, inside her broken heart and fragmented soul. Hiding the truth from her daughter could hurt her daughter if she found out. But revealing the truth to her daughter could hurt more. Kyoko chose lying for protecting her daughter from much pain; however, she didn't know what her daughter was feeling until now.

At that night, the sky is really dark, no stars taking a dare to peep to the city. It was calm

….until the rain poured down.

It rained. The deafening silence was broken by loud cracklings of the thunder.

Rinko was awoken by the loud booming sounds. It scared her. She felt alone, even though her mother was just sleeping soundly. She started to tremble. She felt so vulnerable, unprotected, incomplete. Even though she had a loving mother, she couldn't help but to yearn for the love of another person, another protector – a father. When she was born, her mother was always there for her. Her mother didn't talk too much about her father. She always described him as a gentle, caring, sad man. At first, she didn't care about the word "Father" means, but as she peeked through their window, she always sees three persons walking happily. She knew the two persons; the tall girl was the mother while the small girl was the child. But the other one was a complete stranger to her.

Rinko searched the thing under the pillows that she had found recently. It was a blue-violet stone. She thought that the stone held magic, just like what her mother always told her. She held it tightly, even though trembling, hoping it to ease her nerves, the loneliness, the incomplete space. She crawled underneath the bed, still clutching the stone.

Kyoko was awakened by the loud thunder. 'Thunders' she thought. 'There is something different tonight.' Thunders!, she sat up and checked Rinko. Her eyes widened, seeing no one lying beside her. Thunder is one of Rinko's fears. The first time, Rinko heard the thunder; she cried and trembled a lot. 'I can't do anything to calm her, except to hug her. I found her underneath the bed.' She remembered, so she checked her under the bed. She found her for the 2nd time, trembling but not crying. She reached for her and hugged her, hoping to calm her trembling daughter. Not speaking, she waited for her daughter to calm down.

Suddenly she felt something painful or bad coming. She didn't mind it; she was too focused on her daughter.

Little by little, Rinko starting to calm down and her trembling is becoming less and less. Kyoko noticed it, but still didn't let go of her. She noticed that her right hand is tightly closed, holding something near her chest. Kyoko wanted to know what she was holding, but didn't ask. Instead, Rinko asked a question.

"Mama, whoosh my fadur?"[Mama, who's my father?] still clutching the stone near her chest.

Those words surprised her. She didn't know what to answer. 'Is this what I am feeling about?' she asked herself. It's not the right time to reveal the truth to Rinko. Nor the right place. But also, Kyoko knew that she ws also not prepared for what would happen next. So she tightly hugged her and just kept silent for the whole night.

And at the same night on the other side of the world, there was someone who has been bothered. 'The night sky is always beautiful' he thought. Although he had solved his problem from the past, he is still bothered. 'No stars tonight.' He observed. He could see the empty night sky from his window. He felt the surroundings gone cold, after seeing the bare night sky. Even though, he was inside the plane, covered with a blanket and wearing a coat, he still felt cold as if he had no clothing at all. He knew that if he returned now, there was no turning back. Inside his hollow heart, he knew he had left and hurt something precious in Japan, and he decided to go back to retrieve what he had lost.

He had dialed a number.

KRIIINGGG

"Yes?"

"Yashiro, it's me. I am heading now to Japan right now. Please don't tell it to anybody. I wanted them to be surprised."

"Really? Ahh.. Okay have a safe trip." Yashiro had ended the call.

The man on the plane had a slim figure, long legs and arms, a godly smile and a gentle sad face. He looked at his windows again. Deep in thought, his reflection was clearly highlighting his sad eyes and bared soul. He was Ren after all.
