Disclaimer: I don't own skip beat or any of its characters. It's an AU story, entirely different from the original skip beat series.

Warning: Might contain violence but not too detailed. Sho is abusively cynical and really aggressive in this story so it's not for Sho's fans XD Sorry :-)

Kuon is neither aggressive nor a beast thing. His character is kind and supportive.

Soul Mates-Homeless

Prologue


Kyoko came home late from work. The moment she entered their shared apartment, she knew something was off. Ever since she joined Hizuri Corp, Fuwa Sho, her fiancé, had become insecure and cynical towards her. She thought he trusted her but he always acted abnormally jealous for no reason. She had told him infinite times that she loved him and would never leave him but it seemed to have no impact on him. Her Boss, Hizuri Kuon was nothing more than a kind friend for her and besides she wasn't a cheater but Sho's demeanor had changed and jealousy and abuse became a normal thing with him.

He checked her phone every day. Each time someone texted her or called her, he would peek over her shoulder reading the screen while demanding explanation for no reason. She would wake up to him going through her phone each morning then he would start hugging and kissing forcibly telling her that he would never let her go to anybody. It was annoying for her to no end. She felt irritated but secretly admired his affections towards her. She thought he acted jealous because he loved her but her misunderstanding soon was cleared when he became abusive and started to raise hand on her when she came home late or stayed at work exceeding the office hours.

In just one night, everything changed.

She came home late from work because she had to stay late due to some extra work that needed to be done at its earliest. She made sure to text Sho to make him well aware of the situation but she didn't know what was awaiting her upon her return.

As she walked through the front door of their home, she saw cans of beer scattered all over the carpet in the living room. He had never drunk this much in a day and it started to worry her. Something was definitely wrong. Kitchen was a mess. She started to feel unease as she walked towards the bedroom.

"Sho-chan?" she called out but there was no answer.

She made to the bedroom and slowly opened the door. What she saw was terrifying.

Soft pillows were all torn up with their stuffing lying all over the place. Bed sheets were disorganized. There were holes in the wall and spilled cans of beer on the carpet. Sho was sitting on the bed with his face in his hands and elbows popped up on his legs. He looked horrible.

"S-Sho-Chan, what happened?" Kyoko asked as she slowly walked towards him with her eyes wandering all over the room.

There was no response from him for a while until she felt herself being grasped by him. She turned to him in surprise as he gripped her arms tightly and looked up at her with heavy red eyes. She squeaked when he suddenly pulled her closer to him.

"Kyoko, you are late. Where have you been? It's midnight already. Care to explain?"

His voice was deeper than usual. It was low but enough to pull her soul out. He sounded so cold and distant and his eyes were vacant, the only thing she was able to find in them was anger.

"I…I told you I would be late! I texted you, didn't I?" she said as she tried to yank her arm away but his grip painfully tightened.

"You were with him, weren't you? You like to spend time with that pin head so much!" Sho spat at her causing her to growl at him.

Why couldn't he trust her for once? Didn't he love her anymore? Did he really think of her that lowly? Did he really think she would cheat on him purposely with someone else when he was the only one prince charming for her?

Kyoko's fate had turned upside down ever since her parents died in tragic car crash five years ago, leaving her no choice but to move in with Sho in Tokyo. She had no relatives left except Fuwa family who had friendly relationship with her parents and Kyoko was engaged to their only son, now 20 years old Fuwa Sho, rising rock star of Japan who also was her childhood crush and best friend.

"Sho-chan, let go of me! It hurts!" Kyoko yelped in pain as he squeezed her arm tighter and tried to break it out of his deadly grasp. With her free hand, she griped his wrist and tried to pry it off of her but it was all in vain. He was stronger than her.

"You know quite well that I don't like him. He has eyes on you. I don't like it when you spend so much time with him making lame excuses of excessive work"

Kyoko frowned. "What the hell? He's my Boss! Don't be ridiculous! I told you I was working! I have nothing to do with him out of work! He's only a friend. Why don't you believe me? Let go!" Kyoko screamed as she tried to break herself free but he didn't budge.

"No!" he roared as he grabbed her other arm and pulled her down to him roughly. "You belong to me and only me. I won't give you up. Certainly not to that bastard!" he started kissing her all over the face and sucked her neck as his hands started to move downwards.

"Stop it Sho-chan! What's gotten into you?!" She pushed him away as she quickly got up, ready to run away from him to shield herself in another room but he acted faster.

He pushed her down on the bed and pinned her beneath him as he hovered over her before she could go anywhere.

"I forbid you to see him again. Quit your job and leave Hizuri Corp! I refuse to give you to anyone else!" he glared at her running his cold hand up to her stomach and chest while kissing her non-stop. Kyoko felt a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She shivered and squirmed around uncomfortably, wanting him to get off of her.

"Stop it Sho-chan, let go! I don't want it!" she screamed out again as she pushed him away forcibly but regretted her attempt when she felt a hard, sharp and extremely painful slap hitting across her face.

The slap was hard enough to leave a red bruise on her cheek.

Kyoko's eyes widened in shock unable to believe what had just happened. The man who once claimed to love her forever and protect her had broken his promise and physically harmed her.

Tears spilled out of her eyes as she held her stinging cheek. "S-Sho-chan…"

"You dislike my touch now because you have found pleasure in him right?" Sho shot her a deadly glare as he accused her.

Kyoko felt disgusting. It wasn't like that at all. Her Boss was a kind and nice man who always treated her respectfully like a friend, nothing more nothing less. She didn't know why her Boss bothered Sho so much.

"N-No….I don't want this… stop it…. Get off me! Let go!" Kyoko winced when he slowly started unbuttoning her shirt and tried to seal her protests with his lips on hers.

She could taste alcohol and it frightened her. He wasn't in his senses at all.

Noticing him losing his mind and crossing his limits, Kyoko got desperate to get away. She kneed him in the stomach in self-defense and sat up. He yelled out in pain, furious at her as he grabbed her wrists again and held them above her head with his strong grip. He moved his mouth to her left shoulder blade and bit her harder. An unbearably sharp pain seared through her and she cried out. His brutal bite had left a bruised mark on her shoulder, perhaps leaving a permanent scar there.

With his hungry mouth, he swallowed her painful screams.

Kyoko was too paralyzed from fear to make an attempt of escape or move away from his claws.

This wasn't love at all. This wasn't the man she fell in love with. There was nothing gentle. Everything she experienced was painful. The fact that she had spent last 20 years of her life loving him made her sick to her very core.

Satisfied after devouring her mouth and leaving his mark on her shoulder blade and neck, he pulled away and titled her head so that she could look at him directly.

"Look at me!" he commanded darkly.

Kyoko squeezed her eyes shut and refused to obey.

He tightened his grip on her jaw causing her to whimper. Her face was soaked with tears as she looked at him unwillingly.

"You are mine. I won't let you go and I definitely don't want to hear his name in this apartment. You are quitting your job and that's final! Block his number and never try to contact him again or else you'll be sorry, understood?"

Kyoko remained silent. She felt extremely sick of herself for loving that freak in front of her who didn't even trust her one bit and abused her recklessly to satisfy his insecurities and jealous nature.

He frowned angrily and dug his nails into her arm when she remained non-responsive. "Understood?" he demanded an answer again, leaning forward to kiss her lips roughly yet again.

Feeling of his lust-filled lips grossed her out and she prayed in her mind desperately for him to go away. She was fed up now. She wanted to get away at any cost. She needed it to be stopped. She just couldn't go on further like that. It was limit for her.

Using all of her strength, she pushed him away and slapped him across the face as harder as she could.

"I told you to stop, I don't want it, don't you get it? You are no one to order me!" she flamed with anger as flood of tears escaped her eyes.

Taken a back by her attack, Sho stared at her for a while before a scowl of hatred appeared on his face and he lost his sanity.

"You Slut! So you have a thing for him indeed that's why you are refusing to quit, that's why you don't want me to touch you. You are a shameless leach! Suit yourself then, Get out of my house and sleep with him if you really like him that much! Doors of my apartment are closed for you to enter! I'll see who gives you shelter and how you survive in this city without me. You'll starve to death, you Bitch!" Sho hissed at her as he grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her all the way to exit door and practically threw her out, slamming the door shut in her face.

Kyoko stared back at the closed door with wide eyes. She was kicked out of the place in the middle of night, she once called her home. She had nowhere to go, nowhere to spend the night at least.

She cried harder wrapping her arms around herself trying her best to seek warmth but failed. The night was freezing cold. She shivered from head to toe looking around herself but found darkness looking back at her.

She felt used and dirty. The man she once loved had turned into a monster and didn't even think twice before kicking her out at midnight when she had nowhere else to go.

She stood there crying to herself silently as she tried to figure out what to do.

Her body was aching a lot and her energy was draining but she didn't care and ran to escape as far as her legs could take her, away from the rude monster who once was her prince.

When she covered enough distance to her satisfaction, she stopped to catch her breath.

Luckily, she had her phone with her, she didn't know how did it happen but she felt grateful for it.

With shaking hands, she flipped open her phone and stared at the screen for a long time as if trying to make up her mind wondering if she should really go through this or not. She couldn't stay out all night. She was a girl and it was dangerous. With a heavy sigh, she decided she had no choice.

The only one who could let her stay safely for the night was her Boss.

She speed dialed the number and listened to it anxiously as it rang several times.

Kyoko felt bad and decided to drop the idea. It was midnight and he might be sleeping at that time. It was weird and rude of her to call him at this hour. How could she disturb him so late at night? It was stupid of her.

When she was about to hang up, she heard a familiar voice that belonged to none other than Hizuri Kuon.

"What a pleasant surprise! Mogami-san, is that you?"

She gasped out a little, not knowing how to respond.

"Mogami-san..? Are you alright?" he asked with concern.

She took a deep breath and composed herself before speaking. "H-Hizuri-san c-can you please pick me up?" there was no response on the other end for a while and Kyoko thought she had upset him.

"I-I" she gulped and cleared her throat masking her nervousness. She didn't want to bother him so late but she had no choice either.

"I… I… know I shouldn't be bothering you and I'm deeply sorry but I really don't know who else to go to and…." Her voice started to shake; pain was evident in her tone.

"Mogami-san, I'm on my way right now, tell me where you are and stay there till I arrive OK?" his voice came.


Kyoko had to wait just for 20 minutes before he showed up and opened the front passenger door for her to get in. Kyoko slowly walked up to his car and quietly but hesitantly got in. She could immediately feel his eyes on her.

It made her more nervous.

"Mogami-san, are you alright? What happened?" his voice was filled with concern.

She knew it was too dark for him to notice her bruises. Her shoulder was covered up by her shirt. He wouldn't know she had been hurt. She was sure of it.

"I…. I apologize if I bothered you and woke you up so late… I am extremely sorry…" Kyoko tried to bow and apologize but he gently cut her off.

"There's no need Mogami-san, it's alright, any time, anything for a friend. You are not only my employee but my friend also" his voice was soft and kind.

He reached out and took her hand, squeezing it lightly. Kyoko flinched at his touch which didn't go unnoticed by him.

He moved his hand away and started the engine. "Buckle your seat belt; we will be at my place shortly"

She nodded as he started the car and drove away towards his apartment.

Neither of them talked further. The whole ride went in silence and the night's events kept playing in Kyoko's mind like a film over and over again. She didn't even realize when they got to the apartment until his voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

"We are here Mogami-san" he said politely and he hopped out of his car and closed the door.

"Oh…" Kyoko breathed out as she took off her seat belt and followed him quietly all the way from elevator till they stepped inside of his apartment.

He turned on the light right away as he got in and closed the door behind him.

"Make yourself at home" he said taking off his shoes as he slid into his slippers.

"Home…" familiar painful feeling was back again.

"Thank you" she walked up to the couch and sat down staring at the floor.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?" he offered gently but Kyoko declined politely.

"Alright then" the couch shifted as he sat beside her and moved his hand to touch her terribly bruised cheek. She winched in pain and wiggled as she tried to hide herself somewhere but there was no way to do so anymore. "Mogami-san, what happened?" he asked gently as he turned to face her, stroking her cheek lightly with the back of his thumb as if trying to soothe her pain.

She started trembling, afraid of how to explain. There was no way she could tell him the truth.

It wasn't his fault that her obnoxious lover, well ex-lover had abused her because he was so damn jealous of him and accused her of cheating when the thought of two-timing didn't ever cross her mind.

What could she do when Sho's mind was only filled with negative feelings? He was the one blind, unable to see her love and loyalty for him but it was all over now. Everything that ever happened between them had come to an end. There was no way she could go back to him, not after the way he had mistreated her and kicked her out of his apartment out of jealousy.

She looked up terrified and found him looking at the bruises, clearly visible around her wrists and jaw.

After taking a long pause, he spoke.

"Mogami-san, did he do that to you?"

Kyoko's eyes widened. He figured it out? How?

She said nothing but couldn't stop tears that leaked out of her eyes. She made an attempt to wipe them away but the next thing she knew she was being wrapped in his warm and protective arms.

He embraced her gently, giving her time to let her pain out as he rubbed her back and stayed quiet holding her in his arms, giving her a supporting shoulder.

Kyoko couldn't hold her tears back and her mask broke. She hugged him back and buried her face in his chest, soaking his shirt wet with tears.

He let her cry until she ran out of tears. "Shhhh…. It's OK, you are here. You are safe now" he whispered gently trying to comfort her.

"H-Hizuri-san, thank you for picking me up, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done" she said crying out against his chest again.

"Of course, what are friends for? I won't let him harm you. You are safe here. You can stay here as long as you want. I won't let him come anywhere near you. You are completely safe" Kuon smiled warmly as he reassured her, rocking her back and forth until she stopped crying and fell asleep in his embrace.

She lost her home but had found a new one. The one who left her homeless didn't know that someone was out there with the biggest heart who was generous enough to take her under his protective wings. Someone who was selfless and kind enough to make her feel at home and safe.

Unknown to both Kyoko and Kuon, fate had already started planning its perfect matchmaking.
