Skip Beat is a new fandom for me. But this idea won't leave my head, so I decided to type this out. Also please ignore the Mother arc for the sake of this story. I want to make an OC for Kyoko's father, if I continue this story. If I get a negative response for this, I will either put it up for Adoption or rewrite it at a different time.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN SKIP BEAT. *Unfortunately*

Chapter 1

Lory Takarada was sitting in his opulent office, dressed as an Arab Sheikh. This eccentric outfit was nothing new for the President of LME. Currently, he was deeply contemplating his newest plan, which was pure genius if he said so himself! The one person important to his plans was due to arrive within a minute, and he would be walking to his death. MUAHAHAHAH!

His internal insane laughter was interrupted by the arrival of his aide, Sebastian.

"He has arrived Takarada-sama. Shall I send him in?" Sebastian was dressed similarly to Lory, as was expected of an aide, and his face held no expression.

Lory quickly grew excited. He was all but jumping for joy, as he said, "Send him in! Send him in!"

"You asked for me, Shachou?" said the voice of Yashiro Yukihito. Yashiro was standing there in his impeccable suit and his briefcase in hand.

"Sit down. How have you been Yashiro-kun? And how is everything going with Ren?"

Yashiro put the briefcase on the table and sat down on the overstuffed couch. He was assuming that the President had called him discuss something about Ren, as he often did. Poor Yashiro! He couldn't be farther from the truth! Before he could answer, the President's expression became serious. Yashiro sat a bit straighter.

"Yashiro, I want 'Yashiro Yukihito' to stay out of this conversation. Whom I want right now is 'Kobayashi Makoto'"

Yashiro became even more stunned at this. However, slowly that expression melted off his face, and his body language changed completely. Who sat before Lory was now 'Kobayashi Makoto', an extremely accomplished actor. 'Makoto' pulled off the glasses from his face and ruffled his hair. Makoto had done various types of roles in his acting career. Five years ago, he had retired and taken up the job as Tsuruga Ren's Manager. 'Kobayashi Makoto' was an alias, but the name was very famous, he was counted as one of the legendary actors, right up there with Hizuri Kuu. He was famous for the number of roles he had played since a young age. It was surprising how much a change in hairstyle and wearing glasses could do for a person's image.

Makoto lounged on the backrest with a smirk on his face. He suddenly exuded confidence and the President smirked as well. This person was perfect for his plan.

"It's time for you to go back on screen."

"What are you talking about, boss? I told you I wouldn't act again. Being in the entertainment industry as a manager is enough for me. Fifteen years in front of the camera is enough." Makoto said while rolling up the sleeves of his suit jacket.

"Oh I know! But if you want to stay on as Ren's manager, you will act in the drama I have chosen for you." The insane smile on Takarada's face even scared the veteran actor. "Ren and Kyoko have avoided their feelings for long enough. You, my friend will be the push Ren needs to pursue Kyoko."

The smile on Makoto's face became predatory. He was ready to do anything on order to bring those two together, even if it meant acting on screen again.

"You will tell Ren about your identity, as well as Kyoko. The drama you will be acting is a romantic love triangle, and you will be acting as one of the two male leads, while Ren will play the other. This is a light-hearted drama, so there will not be much tension on the set, but it will be enough to force Ren to make a move." Lory had reclined back in his chair at this point and he put his chin upon his palm.

"But how will that force Ren?" Makoto asked.

"Makoto, if I remember correctly, you said to Ren that anyone might steal Kyoko away and he would end up in the dust. This is the time for you to become that 'anyone'. You only have to treat Kyoko nicely and Ren will automatically become agitated. The fact that someone so close to him might steal her away will drive him crazy."

Makoto sighed, "Fine, boss. I'll follow through with this plan." He stood up and fell back into his 'Yashiro' persona. Just as he was walking out the door, he looked over his shoulder with a roguish smirk and said, "Boss, you can make the announcement that Kobayashi Makoto is back in business."

Lory Takarada watched as one of his best actors walked out the door. He turned and picked up his cell phone. He had a press conference to organise.

I want everyone's opinion on weather or not I should continue this story. READ AND REVIEW, PEOPLE!
