Her return

Graduation Talk and Ruriko

EDITED: Friday 06/23/17

Kyoko felt really confused, graduation was something that she promised to do with Moko-san years ago, but Kanae still seemed pretty pissed off about her leaving. The tears that cascaded down her face were warm and full of sorrow, "But Moko-san hates me, that means we can't graduate together."

Kanae became extremely irked by that statement and impulsively threw a paper weight at her old friend, "Who in the hell said I hated you!?"

Kyoko ducked out of the line of fire, "It's just I thought you hated me because I was gone for so long and I know you're angry-"

"Oi! Keep talking and I'll throw a chair at you!"

Kyoko was silent, "You're right I am angry with you, but I don't hate you. You're my (fuck me for saying this) best friend, I have to trust in your decisions no matter how upset they make me."

The tears, the confusion, and the sorrow seemed to halt themselves, "Moko-san, I'm sorry!"

Kyoko catapulted herself at Kanae with lightening speed, meaning Kanae had no choice but to except the hug of reconciliation, "If you ever walk out like that again, Kyoko, I swear on everything that is holy I will hunt you down and murder you in your sleep."

The president began sobbing and Ren once again felt complete; six years of confusion, anger, and sorrow disappeared and the love whipped man had already forgiven her, "So, you were Akane all this time Mogami-san?"

Kyoko blushed, "T-that's right! At first it was really embarrassing, but with help from Kuu outo-san and Julie okaa-san I was able to become her fully."

Ren smiled heavenly at the nostalgic sight of the blushing woman, "Really, that's nice."

She smiled back then the president began to scroll through everything Akane had starred in and found the Blockbuster hit: Died in blood. An action film based around a delinquent girl, Will, who joins an elite division of the CIA as an assassin, "No way, you played Will Haylin from 'Died in Blood' Kyoko-chan?!"

Kyoko blushed again, "Y-yeah, that was last year, it was really fun learning all the martial arts techniques and weaponry, but I'd have to say my favorite part was the motorcycle training."

Ren was about to ask if she'd want to spar later, but an annoying screech filled the office, "Where is the Hyena!?"

The group sighed collectively, "Hey Ruri-chan."

She smirked, "What are you doing back here, I thought you quit Show Biz? Oh wait, maybe you're here to buy your way into the business with your so-called 'Love-me points'?"

Kyoko smiled politely and muttered menacingly, "Says the bratty, selfish quitter who almost lost her job to me."

Ren swallowed a fit of laughter, she picked quite the sense of humor up didn't she? Meanwhile, Ruriko's face turned an awful red color, "Excuse you, LME hyena I'll make you pay!"

"Like you did during the filming of Ring-Doh?"

Ruriko scowled and glared at her, "You think you're hot, but you're still as plain as ever."

Ren's temper flared, but before he could lecture her Kyoko giggled and froze the room over, "This is so~ amusing."

Ruri shuddered along with the rest of the people in the room; Lory cleared his throat, "Ahem, Kyoko-chan please calm-"

"Who's Kyoko, you're in the presence of Natsu." Her eyes flared dangerously and Lory paled considerably.

Ruriko smirked and decided to challenge Kyoko in a field she was sure she wouldn't understand, "You, I challenge you to a singing competition! Whoever loses has to admit to the other that they are inferior to them and that belong at a dining table with the gods!"

Natsu raised her eyebrow elegantly, "Oh, and you expect me to do such?"

In her fear all Ruriko could do was nod stiffly, making Natsu giggle, "Well then, when do we start?"

...The Next day...

A stage was being set up in one of LME's titanic conference rooms, the president decided to film and release the competition as an announcement of Kyoko's return; Ren was standing outside of the room due to the president's annoying insistence that he come in with the rest of agency's employees standing in as audience, Yashiro was currently squealing and running around going, 'Kya! Kya! Kya!', and Kanae was helping Jelly get Kyoko ready.

"So, what have you been up to?" Kyoko and Jelly shared a look before bursting into laughter, leaving Kanae dubious, "What'd I say?"

"Nothing," Kyoko collected herself, "I haven't been up to anything really, I declined doing anything outside of work."

Kanae sighed in exasperation, "You mean to tell me you haven't done anything remotely interesting outside of work since you left!?"

Kyoko nodded, "It's because I didn't have you with me Moko-san."

Kanae had enough pride to mutter, "That's understandable.'

Kyoko chuckled and Jelly smiled at the scene before her, even with a six year separation it's looks as if it's only been hour for those two bakas. Jelly laughed a little and put her tools away, just in time to hear a knock on the door, "Hurry up, I want to see my Love Me member Number 1 now!"

Kyoko laughed loudly and slowly pulled the door open, revealing the president and Ren, "Ts-tsuruga-san!"

She blushed upon seeing his face, but quickly recovered, "Oh, Kyoko-chan, you look wonderful!"

She raised her eyebrow and looked in the mirror; finding a graphic print t-shirt with jeans and natural looking make up, "I swear, President, I worry for your sanity sometimes."

He gave her a look and said, "What do you mean?"

She looked at him as if it was obvious, "Mogami Kyoko is plain and boring, but her characters are beautiful and ambitious. As you can see, the woman you're talking to right now is Mogami Kyoko."

Kanae threw another object her friend, said friend barely dodged it, "Shut up. Baka, you're amazing!"

The glare the woman gave Kyoko meant that if she ever used that statement against her she'd regret it, "T-thanks."

Kanae nodded curtly and her gaze softened toward her best friend, it seemed as though that whatever hatred she thought she felt dissipated as soon as she saw her face again. Kanae would be a fool to think that Kyoko left to hurt her--to hurt them. Suddenly, a laugh as beautiful as bells filled the room and Ren smiled to himself in satisfaction.

Ren tickled Kyoko's sides fervently, ignoring her gasped protests, "Ts-Tsuruga-san! Stop, I concede defeat!"

Jelly and Lory smirked at the two while Kanae gritted her teeth, for the competition between the two had never been won; they battled for Kyoko even while she was gone. Kanae joined in, tickling Kyoko with an urgency that put Kyoko in tears from her laughter, "Okay, okay! I repent, I concede defeat!"

Kanae and Ren finally stopped their torture and helped Kyoko up, Ren examined her face slowly and carefully, making sure that she was truly here with him. A blush played at her cheeks and her eyes glazed over in pent up desire and boy did Ren notice. Could... could it be!?
