Kyoko Mogami stood staring at the cloud-less night sky. It was her last day at the filming location and she had dyed her hair orange again. She was standing on her hotel room's balcony, enjoying the night air. The moon shone brightly amongst the stars, as if showing off how much it was better than them. The occasional hoots of owls and call of birds rang loud and clear.

He… Saved me…

About a week ago, Sho interfered with her and Reino's conversation. He even beat the beagle up! It was strange seeing him concerned about her safety. It felt like those days when they were young. Sho was overly friendly with her, causing envious girls to bully her.

He was worried about me…

Kyoko recalled the day when Sho came to give her a band aid. She was shocked – Sho wasn't the type to do that. He was arrogant, stubborn and annoying. He didn't care about her.

Maybe… He likes me now?

"No no no!" Kyoko shook her head. It wasn't possible. Well, maybe it was, but he was definitely attracted to her looks and nothing else. Once she takes off her makeup and becomes a plain girl, he would ignore her again.

She slammed her fist against the balcony. It just wasn't fair. She had devoted all her time on him. How could he be so cruel? Was that her punishment for being too nice to him? The thought of that day – the day he dumped her – made her angry. She slammed her fist against the balcony a second time.

"I guess I shouldn't take my anger out on the balcony," she chuckled half-heartedly. A cool breeze rushed past her, as if inviting her outside. The soft rustle of tree leaves beckoned for her to come. Kyoko smiled as she remembered her meeting with Ren yesterday morning, in the woods. She walked back inside her hotel, flung on her jacket, and strode out the door.

Ten minutes later, Kyoko arrived at the woods. She found the stream and dipped her hand in. The water was cold and refreshing. She could hear crickets chirping and the croaks of frogs. She spun in a circle, enjoying the environment. Suddenly, she stopped in mid-spin. A figure was leaning against a tree not far from her. From its looks, she thought it was a guy.

Tsuruga-san…?

The thought vanished as she carefully approached the figure and saw the tint of his blond hair, illuminated by the moonlight. It seemed that he was asleep since he still did not notice her.

Beagle!?

She froze in fear. His natural hair colour was blond but he dyed it silver recently. Aside from that, she didn't sense the dangerous aura she always did when she was near him. Kyoko relaxed a bit. But that meant…

Sho…?

Brimming with curiosity, Kyoko inched closer and closer to the figure. As she thought, it was Sho. To her surprise, he was sleeping. She sat beside him and took a peek at his face. He was sound asleep and had a peaceful expression on his face.

Kyoko lifted her head and admired the moon. The environment was much more to her likings now, and the view of the moon was much clearer.

"Kyoko…" Kyoko jumped at the sound of her name. Then she realized that it was Sho mumbling in his sleep. She bit back her evil laughter. Success! He thinks about me! I'll make him beg to be forgiven for dumping me!

Just as she finished her thought, she felt weight on her shoulder. Kyoko turned to see Sho's head resting on her shoulder. She swallowed the urge to push him away. If she did that, he would wake up and they would have to walk back together. Coming back together this late in the night would cause misunderstandings. She imagined Ren with his angry gentleman smile, asking her what she was doing with Sho.

Kyoko shivered. No, she definitely didn't want that to happen.

After sulking at that thought, Kyoko tried to push Sho's head away, careful not to wake him. But no avail; his head was heavier than she had thought.

Think, think! I can't just stay here! She tugged on her hair with frustration. Why did it have to be him? Why did I come out anyways? And just why did I sit beside him? I'm such an idiot! She made a mental note to never ever sit beside Sho when he was sleeping again.

Kyoko sighed and looked up at the moon. Someone save me!


A/N: Thanks for reading! Hope you like it :)

I'm finished the Skip Beat anime and manga already and was bored so I wrote this. Did you know that there is also a Skip Beat drama? I'm watching it on my free time.

Poll – Who do you think Kyoko should end up with? I'm 50/50 Sho and Ren. I like both guys so I'm having a little trouble deciding the ending.
