Here is another One-Shot!
I got this idea about a couple of months ago, I didn't think it would be this long, actually.
I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
Somewhere in Green land, a group of students were gathered an around a certain area, at a resort, looking in awe at the rider who had seemly come out of nowhere but was proving to be pro when it came to the art of snowboarding.
The boy jumped off a ramp and did a back flip in mid-air.
"GO MASE-SAMPAI!" A crowd of cheering boys yelled.
The boy landed gracefully on to the landing, taking his goggles off to reveal dark brown eyes with wild black hair.
The boy would have been handsome if it wasn't for one fact.
This boy was in fact a girl.
Mase Sukey wanted to cry, seeing the crowd of cheering boys looking at her with admiration.
This wasn't supposed to be how it was supposed to go, in her head she had planned out to suck at snowboarding and have a guy 'help' her out and finally land herself a boyfriend, dammit!
What was she doing wrong!?
She had followed all the advice columns and even read more than five hundred shojo manga and it still backfired on her horribly.
Too many times had she confessed to a guy she liked only to be shut down because the guy either admired her 'manliness' or was put off by it.
Even girl's themselves went to confess, they didn't care if she was a boy or not.
Dam her life!
She cursed how she wasn't born with his mother beautiful face but instead, her father own, her form was slim but due to her childhood upbringing, she had acquired muscles in places that left her feeling ashamed.
What was she doing wrong!?
All of her friends had boyfriends so why was it so hard for her to get her own!?
Mase got off the board and went to take the board back, thinking up a new plan that wouldn't backfire on her while the guys around her looked at her like she was some 'male' god.
She ignored the whispers of girls, having gotten used to it years ago and went to find the cabin.
What she didn't expect to find was the same cabin on fire.
And what was worse was that, she could see movement.
Years later in another life, she would have face palmed and left that person to die.
Her 'saving people at all cost' kicked in and she dropped the board and ran into the cabin, hand over her mouth to prevent herself from inhaling as little as smoke as possible.
She coughed and went in search for the person, the roar of flames were loud in her airs so she didn't hear how the other person in the cabin had noticed her and was telling her to leave him.
She found a guy on the floor, about to be consumed by flames and jumped over a sea of low flame and grabbed him, she didn't see the anger in the guy eyes as she headed for the exit.
She didn't see how the guy took out a small pocket knife, until it was too late.
He had stabbed her but not before she had thrown him to safety.
She could only look up at the crazed eyes before the guy stabbed himself in the throat.
A chill ran down her spine.
This guy didn't want to be saved, he was trying to commit suicide!
But the moment she realised this, it was already too later, the flames had got closer before a gas leak ignited the cabin and took her along with it.
So she died, without finding love and possible being classed as the world manliest female.
Not a title that you want following you to your grave, that's for sure.
Imagine her shock when she opened her eyes to find that she had shrunk and had turned into a small blond baby girl with freckles now adoring her face.
The only logical explanation she could think of was that she had been reincarnated.
She was never a religious type of person and only went to church for the sake of it so reincarnation wasn't completely new to her which made it that much easier to accept her situation, she didn't have anything going for her in her past life anyone.
She often scared man of because they found her too 'manly' for their taste's and would usually be seen as a 'guy' friend so hopefully she would find love in her new life.
Unfortunately old habits die hard.
Something her new parents found out quickly much to their dismay.
The place where she now lived, was a small town, that ran slowly on small farms and there really wasn't that much technology around, imagine her horror, when she realised she hadn't seen a cell phone in days.
She tried to force herself away from the thought that she no longer had indoor plumbing, by forcing herself to be interested in dolls while eying the toys boys played with, she couldn't stop the cringe when someone asked her to play 'house'.
No matter how famine she tried to be, you could tell she was dying inside.
Her parents had to quickly come to terms with the fact that their little girl may never get married and they would never have grandchildren much to their sadness, they could only pray that God would provide them with more daughters.
He did three years after Sheila was born.
They had named the demon, Angelica and Sheila had to watch her parents pamper her little sister who was girlier and prettier than her, sadly because of that, the once sweat little girl, grow up to be a spoiled brat who only showed her true colours when she was alone with her.
Sheila had to endured the taunts of her little sister about how she was doomed to single for the rest of her life and that most man found her ugly, but she easily blocked that out since she was above her and would not succumb to childish taunts.
The only saving grace was how peaceful it was here.
But that all changed when she had reached her 19'th birthday.
It was on one stormy night, the kind of night where the wind was strong and people stayed indoors.
Sheila had forgotten to get something so she ventured out alone, hoping to be back quick.
Immediately the wind hit, threatening to knock her over and preventing her eyes from being fully open, she was just about to close the barn door when she saw something.
It was a figure of a person.
Sheila immediately grabbed something to defend herself encase it was a zombie and the world had come to an end.
The figure swayed as it got closer and her eyes widened to see a man who couldn't have been more than 25 years old coming towards her, he had Hazel eyes and bright blond hair.
She wasn't stupid.
She know who she was looking at but it didn't make what she was seeing any more believable.
But before she could get over the revelation that a fictional character was walking towards her, she suddenly saw the amount of blood on the suit the man was wearing, she was more worried about the blood dripping from his head, pieces of glass embedded in the cracks and gleaming the moon light.
Could he have been in a car crash?
She didn't get to ask, because the star collapsed right in front of her and she couldn't just leave him out in the cold, she used her muscles to carry him back to her house.
Imagine her parents shock when she went out to get a simple tool and came back with a fully grown man, they must have taken it as sign from God.
The rest of the night was spent cleaning the man head wound and any other cut's, they picked shards of glass from his forehead and knuckles while her little sister from hell happened to be up and was looking at the star with hearts in her eyes once it became obvious that the guy was good looking, the blood stained clothes were put aside and her mother checked for anything that could identify the man but found nothing.
You would think a star as big as Japan most desirable man would carry some form of ID in his pocket but no.
All they could do was wait for the man to wake up and ask him what had happened before sending him back.
They didn't know this would also prove to be a problem.
"AMNESIA!?" Sheila yelled, she couldn't help It.
Japan number one guy, Koun Hizuri had amnesia!?
Who did she piss off in her old life!?
Meanwhile the currently very clueless guy was looking startled at loud, un-lady like shout.
Koun suddenly found a face In front of his own startling him.
Sheila bore her eyes right into his very soul to see if this wasn't some sort of cruel trick but his eyes looked back at her with innocents, there was absolutely no trace of Ren in them or even the very strong Koun personality there.
She wanted to face palm.
Of course her sister seemed to be overjoyed with this for some reason and immediately told the clueless guy, they were getting married soon.
And Koun believed every word of it until the couple in room told him their daughter was only 'playing around' while Sheila scoffed in the background getting a slight smile from him.
Seeing as there was no ID on him to identify him and Sheila couldn't randomly blurt out how he was Japan's most desirable man, Son of Kuu and Juliena Hizuri, both who were as rich as hell and almost boyfriend to one Kyoko Mogami a rising actress, gaining very strange looks, yes, how would she explain how she know when there was only one computer in the whole town.
Seeing no other option, they had decided to integrate him into the society.
The others weren't sure how to handle having an outsider inside the community but once they saw how hard he could work and also the fact that he how looked great without his shirt on, nobody complained and welcomed him with open arms.
They had called him, Haji.
Meanwhile Sheila was thinking about the uproar Japan must be in, since Koun was 'missing'. She could see the president face trying to get a hold of anyone who Koun had spoken or visited last, his parents worried sick about their son wondering if he was injured in a ditch somewhere with no way out, Yashiro beating himself up, that he had trusted the star to go oversees without him, Maria crying over the loss of the person she had a crush on while Kyoko would pretend to be fine with her not quite boyfriend, while on the inside she would be hurting the most.
Koun was now clad in a typical farmer clothes doing manual labour with a smile without a care in the world, his hair tied back, unaware that his disappearance was causing so much Chaos on the other side of the world.
Sheila found herself helping him out, much to his surprised as he watched with an open mouth, her carry two heavy sacks of fertiliser, a feat that shouldn't be possible for a woman of her build, she gave him a smug look seeing the expression on his face.
Her smile on grow larger when she saw her little sister in a revealing dress come out, trying to woo him but Haji just smiled and asked politely if she could move to the left, which had her fuming and Sheila grinning from ear to ear.
Three years had passed without a hitch, nobody cared to wonder if Haji was someone important from the outside world or that people were looking for him, to them he was one of them.
Although the man would sometimes be found staring off in space in thought, with questions about his own identity.
Sheila was completely obviously to the slowly changing looks from Haji as her parents had decided they made a great 'pair' and should always help each other out.
She didn't see the soft looks enter his eyes or how he smiled and laughed more when she was around, she didn't see how he began giving her the same looks, that he once gave Kyoko.
She found out that Haji did have a childish streak to him from Koun that stayed with him despite the loss of memories much to her horror as he would sometimes prank her but she pranked him twice as hard.
Slowly they became close, really close to the point that she could say they were best friends.
But she was sure Haji only saw her as a 'guy' friend.
That's why she was so unprepared when, he suddenly said on one peaceful night.
"Sheila do you like me?" Haji asked, sounding as casual as possible as he sat next to her on the wooden roof top watching the stars above.
"What kind of question is that?" Sheila said, sitting in an un-lady like manner. "Of course, I like you. Your my best friend"
"I know that" Haji laughed. "I mean not like. I mean, like, like."
Sheila brain shut down when her mind processed what he was asking her.
Her inner thoughts burst to life and screamed 'no'.
Haji gave her a strange look as if he had read her thoughts.
Wait.
"Please tell me, I don't let out a weird sounding scream just now and it was all in my head" she groaned while he laughed confirming her fears.
"I don't think you'll have such a reaction to my question" He said, trying to sound light hearted but years of knowing the guy told her he was disappointed.
"N-no. you just took me by surprise" she said while her inner thoughts were screaming at her.
What the hell are doing!?
Skip Beat was Koun and Kyoko story and that meant the guy couldn't go off with some random girl because of amnesia!
It wouldn't be fair to take advantage of his state only to get his memories back and realise he was married to woman who not Kyoko.
It would be too devastating on both ends.
However.
She found that this could be the only chance of love she could ever get and Koun even being here may mean, Skip Beat may be over or Kyoko never existed.
Through she highly doubted that.
Realising that the man was still waiting for her to answer, she came with an idea, that would prove to her if he truly loved her or not.
"It's not like I don't want to be with you" she began. "It's just that, you're unknown past. What if someone on the outside is waiting for you?"
Haji want silent, truth be told he would often have confusing dreams about an orange haired girl, he couldn't see her face or hear her voice but he got the sense, she was someone important to him but right now his heart was telling him this woman, who was unlike any other woman he had ever met was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
"I want to be sure that if one day, your memory does come back and you remember who you were before the incident that you won't immediately try to forget everything that had happened here" she said, she had seen it way too many times in Manga and fanfiction, the guy leaving the woman once his memory came back and pretended that the last few months didn't happen. "I don't want to have hope and then see it squashed before my very eyes" she didn't realise tears were falling from her eyes until she was suddenly embraced into a hug.
"I don't how but I know I would never leave you behind." He said, "Even though my head may not remember, I trust my heart and it says I love you. What can I do to make you believe that?"
There was silence until Sheila personality suddenly did a one-eighty before his very eyes and there tears had mysteriously disappeared to be replaced with a smug look on her face.
Wha- Haji thought.
"Then let's have a bet" Sheila said, her voice light and cunning. "I'll help you get your memories back and help you find out who you are, if you still feel the same way about me and confess to me again, I'll agree to go on a date with you but if you feel differently and go after another girl, you will buy me lunch for a whole year at the most expensive store or restaurant to deal with the pain and allow me to use your body to sell porn"
Haji sweat dropped, for some reason she had been after his body for quite some time, now but seeing that he wasn't actually losing anything except for love, he said. "Alright, that sounds fair but where do we even start? The only even remotely usefully thing around here Is that old computer and it would take years to track down who I could be and there is no guarantee that it's me"
" Don't worry leave it me" Sheila said.
The gleam in her eyes made him pale.
#The Next day #
They had both snuck into the tiny shed at an unholy time in the morning.
"First we start looking through any missing important people who have disappeared, three years ago" Sheila said.
"What makes you think I'm important?" He asked.
"Well you're not actually average looking" Sheila said, "When I found you, you were wearing a very expensive suit even though it was bloodied by your head injury. Normal people couldn't afford a suit like that, so let's search for any missing important people, maybe celebrities" browsing through the web.
"It's going to take week-"He began.
"FOUND YOU!" She grinned as Haji focused more on the screen to see a slightly younger version of himself, with hazel eyes and blond hair, he was shocked to see so many pictures of himself.
"I'm a model?" He said, well it did make sense.
"Not just a model" Sheila smile widened. "Your name is Koun Hizuri, the previous current top actor in Japan, look at all these awards you won! You were also voted 'Japans most desirable man' a couple of years back!"
"My name is Koun?" He said, rolling the name off his tongue, it sounded very weird, why did it sound like 'Corn'?
"Did you not get I'm saying?" She said, sounding annoyed. "You're a big time actor and that mean's your rich! If we somehow scrap some money together, we can go to Japan and you can get your life back, your life must have been loads better than staying in a society that lacks so much technology. Japan is literal waiting for you to return, your parents must be so worried"
Haji said, nothing, it was kind of overwhelming how he went from a normal guy to apparently being this big shot star, child of two world class actors, having grown too used to the simply life style and didn't think he would ever fit in such a glamour life, he apparently lived before he lost his memory.
"Are you sure that's me" Haji said. "It could just be a guy who looks like me" going into denial despite his instincts screaming at him that he was indeed this Koun guy.
"No two people are the same" Sheila said, "I know that's you and you know that's also you, no matter how easy it would be to continue the rest of life in denial but think about all those people worried sick about you, it's not right to hide because you're scared of what you could learn about yourself. The answers to who you are is literal right in front of your eyes and now you want to back away"
Haji said, nothing before he said. "Fine, I'll go but how do we get the money for Japan? I don't think anyone is willing to lend us some money since getting on a plane is expensive"
"Maybe we could help" A feminine voice said, which they both recognised.
"Ma?/ Miss Rose" They both said, they were surprised to see not only her mother but her father too, they were both carrying a brief case of some sort.
"We've always know this day would come" Her father said, "How are you going to marry our daughter if you don't even know who you are?"
"DAD!" Sheila shouted, get a chuckle from the man and a slight blush from Haji.
"So we saved any money we could, the moment it became apparent that Haji would go outside our community. A lot of friend's chipped in and this should be enough to get you back and forth from Japan" Her mother said, having heard everything, Haji was like a son to her in all but blood and she would gladly help him out.
"B-But, we could work for it" Sheila insisted, this was just too much and Haji couldn't agree more.
"We both know, you would be old and wrinkly by the time, you've saved enough money" Her father said. "And I would never get to see any blond haired grandchildren from your side!"
Both Haji and Sheila couldn't look at each in the eyes.
"So take the money and go find yourself" The man said, "And don't come back until you do…son"
Haji eyes widened, at what the man called him before a small smile formed and said. "Okay dad", he had no idea, the man felt this way about him.
Sheila was suddenly handed the bag of money by her mother and the woman winked.
"Don't you dare hand over your man to anyone else"
Since when was Haji 'her' man?
Sheila was truly baffled by the woman in front of her, who was giggling at the thought of her daughter fighting off other woman.
# 11 hours later#
They both stepped out of the plane, Sheila looking like she just woke up, her hair was sticking up at strange angles and bags were under her eyes while Haji looked like a million yen, no signs that he had been sleeping minutes before.
Damn him!
"You know, you could stop glaring at me. People are staring" Haji said, feeling the glare and the eyes of people, on them, they both weren't dressed as luxuriously as the other's around them and he hadn't noticed it before but over the three year's he had gained an accent in his voice, now hearing other people outside the community talking, it was obvious his speech was different and Sheila had her own strong accent.
"Well, let's get into the hotel first, because I'm hungry" Sheila said, taking the bag full of her things and the money and slinging it over her shoulder, it weighed twice her mass but she carried it off like it was nothing.
Many people stared at the small woman carrying such a heavy bag like it was nothing while Haji was already used to it and followed her with his own bag.
It wouldn't be until after they got the hotel that they would realise that nobody had been staring or whispering around them about how 'Haji' looked like an older Koun.
Haji and Sheila were both shocked to see there was only one room left in the three stair hotel and that room was only meant for couples, while Haji couldn't help but feel a strong sense of Déjà vu, having been forced to stay in the same room as the woman he liked.
Truly it was going to be torture for his senses.
His fears was proved to be correct when Sheila didn't seem to understand the distance that needed to be kept between men and woman and automatically want to take off her clothes for a nice shower.
Damn it!
How did he get into this mess!?
Sheila came out squeaky clean later on, not caring about the torture she was inflicted on the poor guys mind as he dragged his eyes away from her smooth skin.
Yep, he had entered hell.
How could he sleep when the woman he liked was up close and personal in the same bed with him and was resting on his chest?
He was tempted to just through himself on the floor and sleep on it because he didn't trust himself not to not give into his body needs.
Sheila slept wonderful while Haji was glad that she finally got off him and finally got himself a couple of minutes of sleep before being awoke and told to shower.
"You know there's something weird going on around here" Sheila said, not oblivious to how nobody was looking at them, despite Haji being with her.
Haji turned around and sure enough, nobody was looking their way and everyone was going about their own business, like it was normal to see someone like him every day.
"Shouldn't someone have come up to us and said, how much you look like Koun?" She said, it was truly weird. "Let's ask around and see what's going on around here" and Haji couldn't have agreed more.
Several minutes later, they found an old man in a much less busy street.
"Well of course, nobody looks at you!" The man chuckled. "The population has seen too many guys that look like you already that everyone stops reacting!"
"What do you mean, too many guys like me?" Haji asked, in confusion.
"Huh? You two must really be out of country if you don't know what's been going on" The old man said, smoking his pipe and eyeing Haji for a bit.
"Just spit it out old man!" Sheila yelled and Haji shot the man an apologetic look as he held her back.
"Well it seems you've got quite a woman" The old man said, amused to see Haji holding her back. "Well if you must know, a couple of years ago, Japanese Number One actor disappeared. The news was huge and a lot of money want into trying to find Em'. They put up a cash reward for anyone with information, as expect a lot of people came. A lot of fakes too, so many fakes came claiming to be the guy, that the company itself got sick of it. Anyone who even so resembles the guy gets throw out immediately. I bet even if the real guy had walked through the front door, nobody would have believed him and he would have been kicked out. Nobody has the balls to walk in through the front door anymore, in regards to the case"
Haji and Sheila shared a look, suddenly very thankfully that they hadn't just walked into the building like they originally planned, because who knows what would happened to them.
But how where they supposed to get in, if they couldn't even walk into the building?
"Well still people try to get in" The old man continued. "The company is giving people one more chance, in about a month from now, they're going to host a competition of some sorts, hosts some test's to see if the real guy would step forward. Everyone is going to be there, both Hizuri's, Kyoko, that famous actress, the company president and even the guy's own manager. You know a lot of fakes are going to be there. It would be funny if the real guy actually did come out of hiding. Maybe the rumours of him being dead are real?"
Both of them were silent.
Haji didn't have to look at Sheila face to know that he would be forced to sign up for this competition.
And scene!
Finally done! This is just a quick one shot with a KuonXOC story! I'm kind of fed up with the constant KuonXKyoko stories so I decided to write something different. Already I have loads of idea's for this, as Koun tries to prove that he's the real deal despite his amnesia. Please Review!
