Depression

Chapter 1

Okami-san and i had just sat down to watch t.v. after working in the Darumaya. she began flipping through the channels in attempt to find something entertaining. There wasnt anything really interesting until a familiar face caught my eye. "Can I see that." I said quietly. She flipped back to the channel I was talking about. I searched the picture on the screen for evidence that this familiar face wasn't who it looked like, but there it was the name tag on the table clearly stating that this was the woman I wished I could forget. The name tag read Mogami Saena. My mother. The okami just stared at me with a questioning look in her eyes but I was to absorbed in  the questions that were filling my head. I was captured until I heard those condemning words escape my mothers mouth. "Certainly I do not have a child." I was snapped out of my thoughts by that one sentence. I stared at the one I called my mother searching for some trace of a lie or guilt, but found none. I just stared into her icy cold eyes that seemed to pierce into mine and looked for even the slightest bit of hope that this was all an act, but found none. That woman was pretending it never happened. That I was never born. That never I existed. "Kyoko-chan?" I heard okami-san say. "Is that one of your relatives?"She paused waiting for my reply."Thats my mother." I whispered, my eyes still glued on the screen."I'm sorry, excuse me."I said. I stumbled into my room and rummaged through my things to find the beautiful blue stone. "Corn, where are you." I whispered.

                                                                                Ren's Point Of View

Ren, Yashiro, and Lory stood together all staring at the t.v. "Certainly I do not have a child." I looked over at the boss who was staring angrily at the image on the screen. Mogami Saena. "Could it be, president that this woman is as I thought, Kyoko-chans........" Yashiro didnt finish before the president spoke."I hope Mogami-kun isn't watching this."I wasn't paying much attention to much else the president said and instead my mind drifted to Kyoko. The president said something that startled my out of my thoughts.I must have said something out loud because the president was staring at me questioningly."Oh.... sorry, This has been on my mind all along so I hadn't meant to interrupt you without warning."I said sincerely. "I'm kind of offended you know."he replied. "Were you told 'I don't mind what you make her do if it's done such that the world is unaware that we're mother or daughter' or something?"I asked. What! Have you heard from Mogami-kun about her situation?""....Just a little, only enough to know that her mother is the type of woman who is very strict with mogami-san though....""hmmmmmmmm""But normally if you take it in a positive light, the strictness also means that she is thinking of Mogami-san I should think.... what she said to you and her statement on tv recently were, in her own way, out of concern for Mogami-sans position and future. The words that came out of my mouth were to me both a statement and a question. The president answered me without words and just a look that answered my question.A look of worry, sadness, and truth. I could tell there was no doubt in my mind that he was right. Anything that I had previously thought could have been true, was not in any way.
