A/N: So, due to a recent "warning" for my story, I am reduced to writing this a new way. Yup, as you can see I'm not giving up hope! In fact, I think this way will be even better! So, let's do this!
Events on stage: Regular text
Events on screen: Italic text
Disclaimer: I don't own Skip-Beat.
The stage is dark, and crowds of readers are in the seats muttering curious words to each other. Soon, footsteps are heard coming from the stage. A bright light shines on a teenager. She's dark, has long curly hair and is wearing a black T-Shirt with 'I heart SB!' on it, bleached shorts, and black high tops. She reaches for a microphone and speaks.
"Ladies and (if there are any) gentlemen, I welcome you to a new version of a sorta... semi-popular story by none other than yours truly, HalloFreak!"
The crowd is silent with eyes blazing at her. She shuffles her feet and continues, "Okay then... let's bring out our contestants!" She raises a hand and points to the back of the stage as figures approach.
"Our main contestants: Ren Tsuruga, Kyoko Mogami, and Sho Fuwa!" The said people wave to the now roaring crowd of fangirls/ guys and sit in different chairs.
"Next our supporting contestants: Yashiro Yukihito, Kanae Kotonami, Lory Takarada, Marie Takarada and Reino." She slightly shivered calling out the last person. They also wave to the crowd and sat in the remaining seats.
"Now, then time for-"
"WAIT!" A mysterious voice echos in the large room. Soon another teen is with H.F. She is tall, light skinned, and has straight brown hair. She is wearing a long sleeved jacket, black skinny jeans, and white sandals.
"Phew, I made it!" she panted as she bends over to catch her breath.
"Victoria? What are you doing here?" The speaker asks the girl.
"What? A friend can't come and see what mess you're getting yourself into?" She grins. "And about your so called 'security' it sucks." She points at the side from where she came from. A tall blue rabbit, a pink monkey and brown monkey are in one pile. And a purple ghost and a green ghost-like frog are in a pile, unconscious.
"How'd you defeat them?" H.F demands turning red.
"I threw a donut near them and watched them fight to the death!" Victoria replied, her voice in a scary whisper. "Nobody won."
"Crud... fine you can stay, but don't say or do anything stupid! Got it?"
Vic salutes her. H.F walks to a seat in the middle of the stage and sits. "Well, now that you know the contestants and myself, let's get this an and poppin'!" She presses a button on a remote she has. A giant white screen comes down behind the contestants.
"This is our Virtual Interactive Computer, V.I.C for short. It will show the questions from any reader and can make whatever they say into an artificial world. For example, say a reader wanted to see Yashiro shirtless, we can transport him there and we can make it happen!"
"Excuse me, but why would someone want me shirtless?" Yashiro questioned with a worried look on his face.
"You have fans too Yashiro." Ren explained with a small smile on his face.
"Ohh okay!"
"There will be a CPU to do any dirty work to/for the characters. Plus, the contestants will be oblivious about what was asked of the reviewer and what happened in the other world. That made sense right?"
H.F looked back to the screen. "Since we don't have a lot of questions anymore, I'm thinking of dropping the goal for the old version and making it just for fun... just a thought. Well, here's one coming up!"
'Stealing Kyoko's panties, stashing them in Sho's pocket, and then tell Kyoko that Sho stole them' ~ Acquainted-With-the-Night
"WHAT?" Kyoko stands up as her chaotic demons sprout out into view.
"TAKE COVER!" Victoria screams as she hides behind H.F as a human shield.
The crowd begins to scream and hide under their seats. Soon, there is a small earthquake of some sort as the stage produces a blinding white light. ZAP! All look at the stage to see Kyoko and Sho gone.
"Where did they go?" Maria asks from behind Lory.
"Let's see." H.F replies as they look at the screen.
Kyoko is walking around aimlessly in her cloned LME dressing room. She searches in drawers and her closets for something. "Where are they?" she whispers to herself.
"Oh, she's looking for... her underwear..." Ren says embarrassed by what he had just pointed out.
Back on the screen: a CPU clone of H.F appears, hiding Kyoko's lady garments behind her back.
"What the fudge?" she screams pointing at the clone. "Why did it choose me? I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!"
"Well, in the original version of the story, you did seem like the one the people were most likely addressing when they said to do something." She pointed out casually.
H.F didn't reply she was still staring at the screen with her jaw hanging open.
The H.F clone transports to Sho's dressing room and hides them in his pockets, then disappears. Sho enters the room, and puts on the coat. He goes to LME. There he bumps into the CPU in a hallway.
"Oi!" he says sizing up the girl. "Watch where you're going, will you?"
Clone H.F. stares at him with wide eyes.
"What?" He asks her, with fear that she was an-about-to-go-crazy fangirl. The H.F jumps up and runs to a nearby room. Sho stares at the direction she ran. He hears a roar and looks to see an enraged Kyoko staring at him. She had on her PJs and had a weird aura surrounding her. She stomps over to him and digs in his pockets.
"Oh my- KYOKO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he screams surprised and freaked out by her sudden actions. She pulls out her hands and is holding two handfuls of panties. Sho's pupils shrink and he stands stiff staring at the underwear in her hands.
"How did those… get in there?" He asks aloud.
"That is what I would like to know… SHOTAROU!" In a flash she charges to him and tackles him to the ground. Her hands wrap around his neck and she violently shakes him. Her dark demons are floating around her creating an icy and hateful atmosphere.
"Umm, I think we let the guy go through enough. Let's bring them back." Victoria suggests biting her nails fearfully.
"Yea, good idea…" H.F replies searching for the remote for the V.I.C. "Where is it?"
(Nearby out of sight, Ren and Yashiro are having an arguement)
"Ren, you need to give them the remote back!" Yashiro shouts lunging for the remote that was lying on the floor.
Ren, being taller, used his legs and kicked the remote out of distance from his manager. "No, not just yet." he turns to the screen. Kyoko is still choking Sho, as his face begins to turn blue from lack of oxygen. After watching the screen for a few moments, Ren looks back to where he left the remote... which isn't there anymore.
"What?" he looks up to see Yashiro handing the remote to H.F. He hurries to his seat, pretending as if nothing happened.
"Oh! Thanks Yukihito-san!" H.F says taking the remote. "Where was it?"
"Well, Ren and I were-" he turns to see Ren looking casual in his seat. "Never mind." He says in an assuring voice, and sits in his chair, glancing over at Ren.
"Well, let's bring them back!" H.F. says and pushes the 'RETURN' button. Kyoko and Sho are transferred to the stage, still in the same position. Kyoko suddenly stops and looks blackly around the room, her hands still around Sho's neck.
"Eh? What's going on here?" she asks looking at the others. Her eyes go down to Sho.
"...SHOTAROU! YOUR VERY PRESENCE TRIGGERS MY ANGER!" she yells and proceeds to choke him again.
"GACK! H-help m-me…!" Sho stutters.
H.F and Victoria pull back an outraged Kyoko off of him.
"Calm down! Or else we'll get a straight jacket!" Victoria threatens the struggling Japanese girl. She immediately calms down and sits.
Sho wearily gets up and wobbles to his seat, holding his now red and blue neck.
"Well, that's all for now! Tune in next time when we see what another reviewer might suggest!" H.F announces into the microphone to the crowd.
The characters (all but Sho) wave to the crowd as the stage dims black.
A/N: So yeah, that's what my new version is. Maybe I'll use a different name than H.F... Now, how'd it go? Did you like it? Press that pretty 'Review' button and tell me! Please? ^_^' Don't forget to leave any random ideas! (You can also request an old idea from the other version of the story if you wanna read it in action) Peace!
P.S. I know Kyokou is less violent in the story with Sho (as far as I know, I can't read it online anymore R.I.P OneManga... T_T) but I just wanted to write her trying to kill him x3 I can be evil sometimes.
