Authors note: Hello everyone, so this is my first fan fic that I've written I hope I can get the characters right bare with me if they seem a little off. The ideas for this story just kind of seemed to flow through me as I read the last couple chapters of manga and I just had to put them down on paper. This story starts off after the latest manga 166 or 167 I cant remember so I'm sorry for any spoilers, but if you're a true fan you probably already know everything or I hope so. Okay so if my memory serves me right the manga hasn't given a name to the movie or what director would be filming it so I took the liberty of making up my own Director Kuchiki so there is no confusion as for the name of the movie I'm still thinking of one if anyone has ideas feel free to send them my way. Also Director Ogata knows the role Ren plays as Cain so he can schedule his Dark Moon scenes without interfering with the movie, and understand more of what Ren might be going through if there is any problems on the set of Dark Moon. He also knows the Kyoko is being used as a protective charm to help him. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat or its character I could only wish who wouldn't want to own Ren J Instead I'm just left with playing with them.

Chapter 1: Aftermath

It had been over 3 hours and Ren finally had made his way out of the car and was now sitting in his dressing room back in his Cain attire since he was done filming Dark Moon for the day staring off into space. Kyoko being the only reason for that. It wasn't till "she" arrived did he snap out of his recap of his past which terrified him. I lost it, I almost snapped and lost ever thing. His past was haunting him flashes of the small child ran through his mind over and over again. The screech of the tires as the two cars started spinning, it was so surreal like he had a out of body experience and was watching it from above. What would have happened if?….if?….i had hit him. Ren dropped his face into his hands grabbing some of his hair between his fingers slightly pulling hoping the pain would make all the images that tormented his mind go away. Images of bloody hands, a woman screaming at him, his dark feelings, his past it would never go away. He glanced down at his watch, his heavy shackle and shuddered.

- meanwhile with Kyoko -

"What is going on? Why was he in a car? Was this for a role? Was this for Dark Moon? What happened? WHY WASN'T THERE A STUNT DOUBLE?" Kyoko's voice was in a panic from seeing Ren in such a state and her mind was going into overdrive with a million questions that she word vomited out at Yashiro just outside the dressing room getting louder and louder as she went on. Her body was shaking as she yelled and looked like she was going to have a heart attack at any moment from all the emotions flowing through her body at once.

"I've seen him in this state once before but it wasn't nearly this bad I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND I WANT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW!"

Yashiro stood dumbfounded was this really Kyoko standing in front of him. He had never seen her like this before and the pain, anger, and worry in her eyes was almost unbearable but he couldn't manage to break away. I don't know what to do first Ren and then this wither they want to admit it or not their bond is strong. She almost sounds like a worried dare I say it …..wife…. he thought. It was all so overwhelming he was unsure if he could handle all of today's events. He tried to pull himself together to answer and then there it was water droplets started to form around her eyes then like someone had switched on a faucet they just started to fall and he watched as she started to break down.

Without thinking he rushed forward and caught her as she started to fall to the ground he held her to him and began from the beginning telling her yes it was for the role and explaining the scene and what had happened. After he was done he waited for a couple minutes as he felt her start to calm down a little.

"I know it must have been really shocking to him to be in such a situation but I didn't know what to do he was in that state for such a long time. I'm glad you came along and was able to snap him out of it I didn't know what to do. Thank you. Thank you for coming." he felt tears start to form in his eyes just thinking about everything and how grateful he was to get Ren back.

-Back near the set-

"Who was she"

"Are they related? are they dating? How was she able to snap him out of it?"

"Does anyone know who that girl was?"

Random comments and rumors started to fly around the crew after the mysterious woman and Ren walked off set. It seemed although no one knew who she was and how she managed to do what no one else could. The general census was that she must be someone close to Tsuruga or a family member in order to snap him out of it where even his manager had failed. It seemed like everyone wanted to know who she was and what happened what did she say to him to make him snap out of it.

"I managed to get everything back under control, but I don't think I should do anything more today. Actually it might be a good idea to give him a couple of days to regain composure after everything that has happened." Director Ogata said looking down at the ground recalling all of the days events.

"I was thinking the same thing. Even though it is really going to set you back in the time frame for the scenes. I think it just might be a must you need your actors to be focused for the tasks required. Do you think he will be able to regain it in two days?"

"I've worked with Cain many times in the past I think he is fully capable of that Director Kuchiki."

Kuchiki looked off into the distance pondering what he saw to day is it too late to change some of the script. My creative mind has had this feeling like there is something missing and I think that I might have just found it. But how can I get it to work? Lost in thought he practically ignored the director beside him as he was rambling off what had to be done before they truly called it a night.

"Well i guess i should start cleaning up everything they want to be able to open the road back up" Ogata worried voice finally filled his ears and he snapped out of his daze.

"Ah, yes let them open it your done for the day there is no need for it to be blocked off anymore." He pondered a little more then turned to his fellow Director "Do you know who that girl was? The one that finally snapped my lead actor out of his stupor?"

"Yes, her name is Kyoko Mogami, she is part of the love me section at LME and let me tell you she has won the hearts of many both on and off the screen. She is defiantly one of the newest most exciting talents out today. You should see her act once she gets into a character its truly breath taking no matter what the role. It's like it all just comes natural to her she really hasn't been in the business for that long."

"I'm guessing you know her personally from all the praise you just rambled off" Kuchiki let a small laugh escape his lips as he looked over at the other man.

"Yes she is defiantly a joy to know" Ogata smiled.

"Well in that case can you introduce us I've had a thought in mind now for a while in regards to the movie and I'm beginning to think it would be the best idea. President Takarada has mentioned some things that make me worry a little and he said he would try to help by giving our Cain a protective charm to help. I think she might have been it and part of me is thinking it would be better to not to keep her in the sidelines. The closer to our Cain the better I think."

"If you would like we can go look for them together now just let me tell my crew what needs to be done. We should see how he is doing anyways." Ogata stated with concern about the state of mind Ren was in the last time he saw him. With that Ogata turned to his crew and gave out the orders then, they both headed towards the dressing room area in hopes to find the pair.
