"Excuse me," Yori said as she entered the room.

The moment she did, she felt the suffocating presence. This man isn't your average human and judging from Soichiro's reaction; he is a strong one.

"Yori, come over here," Soichiro motioned her forward, to his side. Yori looked at him puzzled, but she made her way over. On the way over, Yori felt the man's piercing gaze on her. It sent shivers down her spine. Each step felt like an eternity, the moment she came close, Soichiro pulled her into his embrace.

What is he doing? Yori looked at him dumbfounded. What is he getting at?

"I see nothing has changed; I thought the girl lost her memories. But if she is by your side now,"

Soichiro's piercing stare turned darker, as he cursed, "Shut your mouth, Zane."

York's eyes widened when she heard those words. The content of the conversation aside, the name - isn't that the person Kiryu is suspecting as the ringleader of these incidences? Yori quickly picked things up. This must be him; it's no wonder Soichiro is acting so cautious.

"What did you come here for? Just spit it out."

"Indeed, I don't want to waste my time. I shall put this matter aside for now. Give me Terashima Lila."

!!!

"Oh? What makes you think I'll do as you say?"

"I do not think you'll blindly obey me. I'm making a proposal here."

"Don't mess around with me, no matter what proposal you make. I'll never let her go," Soichiro angrily said.

"But, I think you will. What if I order her beloved person to harm her?"

"Kiryu would never hurt her."

Zane seemed amused with her response, and gave her a pitied glance, "Ah, silly girl. You haven't realized it yet?"

Realized?

Zane raised his hand an image of a tree appeared in the center of the room. Her eyes widened when she saw two threads battling against each other - but as the scenes changed, one thread grew more quickly. Lila, she loves Haruka more than Kiryu?

"It can still change," Soichiro interjected.

'But, it's so close to the center,' Yori thought. Indeed the thread that belonged to Karashima Haruka was so close to the center. The moment it reaches it, it's decided.

"Karashima loves her, he won't betray her," it was Soichiro who spoke up and broke the silence.

"Hahahaha," Zane laughed, "Do you truly trust that man? Well, I must admit myself. I'm slightly taken back with his rebellious attitude lately. But that won't last for long."

That won't last long?

Yori frowned, as she thought - this man knows something about Karashima Haruka that they don't know. There's a deep secret that's leading to Karashima obeying his every whim. But what could that secret be? She hasn't heard anything from the others. Even Huan-san who investigated Karashima before for his mission couldn't dig up Karashima's connection with Zane. Something

"Lila," Yori muttered. That's right, the only thing Karashima cares about is Lila. Even when all that chaos was going on with his family. Karashima Haruka didn't show up. However, whenever anything serious happened to Lila. Karashima would appear. Lila is the reason why Karashima actively pursued his career in the Entertainment industry. Karashima wanted to shield her from the negativity - and it worked. Lila seldom experienced any of the dangers involved in being an idol.


Lila is his source of strength but at the same time, his weak point.

Zane's lips curve to a smile, "Smart."

Is he bluffing? Yori looked him up and down but couldn't tell from his expression or posture. He isn't giving anything away. But at the same time, that sentence alone exposed many things.

Soichiro's eyes widened in alarm, as he cursed, "You better talk."

"Now, now I only came here today to give you my warning. Not disclose any secrets."

So this man came here knowing that they'd refuse? Why take on such a risk? This is still enemy headquarters, or is he that confident that he can escape here unharmed?

Yori isn't surprised when Soichiro asked her to leave. She understood why. Whatever exchange they make, she will most likely not agree with his decision. So it's better she isn't around.

With a pen in one hand, Yori looked at the different fashion brand. A deep sigh passed her lips, "Hmmm," truthfully as an idol; this is the side she lacked the most in.

More, more she has to reach the top somehow. Rather than be content with being able to support, she also wants to aim for the top. Despite what small chances she has, she still wants to try. Yori wonders why she's suddenly getting these thoughts; it wasn't like this before. Maybe it's because of the lecture Jae-hee gave her, for a while, she's had these type of feelings. But she's never actually applied it before, aim higher - and not just be a support for Lila. It seems difficult.

Yori didn't know what to do on that matter, so she figured she would work on her weakness first. Fashion.

For the last few minutes, Yori focused on the fashion magazines Kotori lent her. All these brands are tailored not only to suit that particular style but towards their muse, and yet for those who don't have one Yori wonders how they can create such amazing outfits. Maybe they do have someone in mind and yet haven't asked her yet?

"I'm amazed; you really are reading up on fashion."

Yori almost jumps startled until she saw who the voice belonged to, "Lila," she said amazed. Yori thought Karashima would be hogging her for a while longer, "Karashima let you go?"

Lila laughed, "I escaped for a bit."

"That will backfire on you later," Yori muttered.

Lila, however, said nothing to that, and continued, "When Kotori told me I thought I heard things. Yori of all people interested in Fashion? It was enough to make someone laugh,"

Her sweatdropped at the bright bluenettes cold words. Hey hey now, should she be saying that? But, it's true it's unusual.

"One by one everyone is finding their weakness and working on it, that's why I want to do the same," Yori admitted.

"That's true. That's the right mindset to go back to the basics. Honestly, as you are now beating the others is frankly impossible."

That's way too blunt!

"By the way, I've wanted to ask you something. Why did you suddenly decide to enter the Goddess4 tournament before?"

Lila smiled, "Actually, my purpose in entering the goddess team was lacking I wanted to defeat Kumi-senpai, to take ' revenge' for Kyoko-nee who lost."

Yori blinks in confusion, is she serious?

Laughter passed her friend's lips, " It's a cruel motive to enter, isn't it?"

Yori shook her head. She wonders why she never thought about it that way before. By entering the goddess team, and standing alongside Ahoji Kumi. If a person happened to overpower Shoji Kumi during a performance, and during each job, then public opinion will be swayed.

"But I realized it was hopeless, to truly shine, you have to discard such ugly feelings and emotions. The reason why Kumi-senpai defeated my sister was because at the time Kyoko-nee had nothing important. My sister told me, 'From the very start, that person has always overpowered me. From day one, it was only half a step, but even that single half step divided a line of difference between us.' It's funny she said that that's what I always thought regarding her."

"You were jealous?" Yori asked.

Lila nodded, "I was. Whether it was when we were singing or performing other jobs, whether it was Kyoko-nee or Kumi-senpai, I was jealous." Lila paused, "Did you know? I auditioned for the dance part first."

"Eh,"

"To be the brightest star of the Goddess 4. To be at the top of the dance group, that was my dream. I passed the preliminary auditions easily, and everything seemed to go my way. That was until I saw that person stage. I was confident in my ability, but when I saw her dancing, I realized I still lacked in many areas."

"So, what did you do?"

"I went to mull over what I should do next, and it was then Ameno-senpai appeared and told me. What a nice breeze. It makes me want just to fly off somewhere.' He almost tried to jump on the edge, and it proper scared me. Then he told me that my way of thinking was too small - and to broaden my horizons, I should spread my wings and fly."
