Skip Beat Fanfiction
Loose ends
I wanted to base my story as a continuation of our current tale Skip Beat! (Written by Yoshiki Nakamura) with chapter 259 context. However I wanted to wrap up some "loose ends" or story openings that have develop through Yoshiki Nakamua's creation of Kyoko. I'm afraid Kyoko may never return to all of them at our current rate of publishing. I can only read the original so many times! I love Skip Beat and have been reading for years, please enjoy my version of Kyoko's continued journey.
I do not own any of the characters of Skip Beat, and this is my unique development of Yoshiki Nakamura's story Skip Beat!
Context: Chapter 260 (Kyoko has obtain the part of Momiji in Sacred Lotus in the Mire.)
"_" is for speaking.
~'_'~ is for thought bubbles.
Chapter One- Born for the part.
Scene: Sawara is sitting at his desk at LME speaking on his phone; he is speaking to Kyoko. Kyoko is standing outside of LME studio.
Kyoko is dressed in her school uniform covered by a beige rain coat. She answers her cell phone as she walks to Bridge Rock set. Kyoko stops to speak to Sawara.
Sawara: "How are you Kyoko? Are you free to talk?"
Kyoko: "Yes, Sawara-san I'm doing well. How can I help you?" ~ 'I'm heading to work for Bridge Rock.'~
Sawara: "I'm sorry to bother you, I know you are busy between jobs."
~Sawara: 'I know they have been rushing production of Sacred Lotus in the Mire to make up for lost time.'~
Kyoko: "No, please don't worry about it. I'm not schedule to work at Sacred Lotus in the Mire today. What is this about?"
Sawara: "You have been requested to star in another drama as the lead female role, by Director Shingai Seiji."
~Kyoko: 'Director Shingai Seiji? He was the director for Ring Doh. That was my first LoveMe assignment and my first time real attempt at an acting role.'~
Sawara: "I told him you were currently filming and may not be available for the part, however the director says that filming will not start for another 2 months and he was insistent that you play the role of Akane." "This is a really good opportunity. Director Shingai is very well known." Sawara leaned back in his office chair. "He says you came to him in a dream & knew you would be a natural for the part."
~Sawara: 'When I heard that from the Director, I had wondered if you were haunting him.'~
Sawara face was sheepish. This was something he personally knew she was capable of.
Kyoko could feel her nose growing from being told she would be a natural for the part. "What is the role?"
"She is a ryoukan heiress who is trapped between duty and her dream of becoming a competitive chef."
Kyoko's face dropped her eyes hooded.
~Kyoko: A ryoukan boss lady?! It makes me think of my stupid previous self!' ~
Sawara: "Director said you had done well playing the role of Choko. Other than your injured ankle at the time, he was tempted in using you for the filming of Ring Doh. He says he is excited to see how you have grown over the years."
Kyoko face lit up from the compliment. "Yes, I would love to show him how much I have grown as in my acting as well. I hope to one-day finally be able to call myself a real actress."
~Kyoko: 'At the time I was an unexperienced newbie talent out for revenge against Shou. I acted to take Ruriko's role out of revenge. I wanted her to feel regret for tricking me into being her sun shield and causing me to twisting my ankle.'~
Kyoko's inner grudges appeared. Her inner self and grudges nodding in agreeance that Ruriko at the time deserved it.
~ 'But now I act for myself.'~ She felt light hearted suddenly, her grudges suppressed by her inner angels. ~ 'I wonder how much my acting has improved since then.' ~
~Sawara: 'A real actress?' Sawara's face looks dumbfounded in disbelief at Kyoko's statement. 'She always understates herself. Many of your fellow actors would call themselves Actor after their second role! You are even currently acting on a film that is already rumored to do well when released. She needs to look at herself differently.' ~
Sawara: "Well, do you want to accept the job?"
Kyoko: "Yes, my schedule will be lighter then and I would be honored to play the role of Akane." Kyoko bows even though Sawara can't see her over the phone.
Sawara somehow felted her bowed over the phone. He looked out his window, & he was surprise to see her actually bowing while holding her phone to her ear outside. ~'She does have a strong physic ability.'~
Watching her continue bowing to him as she spoke to him over the phone, his face soften into a gentle smile thinking how he felt about her now.
Sawara: "Excellent. I'll let the Director know right away. At this rate, you really should get a manager."
Kyoko felt on cloud nine. She felt like she was before Heaven's gate. ~Kyoko: 'To one day be getting closer be able to call myself ACTRESS.'~ Her eyes glittered in a state of ecstasy. She completely missed the comment regarding the manager.
People walking by Kyoko were weirded out by her exuberance and doe-y eyes. Flowers seeming to appear around her.
Sawara: "Okay, call you back with the details." He smiled as he hung up. ~ 'She really has grown into a wonderful actress.'~
Looking at her happy expression as she headed toward the set of Bridge Rock. 'She seems so much happier now than then." He hoped Kyoko's happiness continued to grow.
