Hi. You might remember this story from another account. KyokoHiTsu was my old account I forgot about. I published the story here because I will only write with this one. You will get chapter 12 around wednesday.

Please don´t be to hard. I am from Germany and my English is not the best but I like to write in English because it sounds much better than german. Right now I really need a beta reader so that you can enjoy my story. Please tell me if you like it and if I should write more. Thank you and enjoy. Oh and before I forget it I made Kyoko a year older. It is a fanfiction. Kyoko will be 17 when she graduates and school will end in January, I can´t do it without this change. Let´s just say that Kyoko is a special student.

I don´t own Skip Beat or any of it´s characters.

chapter 1- Kyoko & Kuon

Not being allowed to behave like a child is a horrible thing for children and will always have a effect on the future person. Kyoko Mogami was one of those people who were forced to grew up very early, but the child in her never left. Deep in her heart her childish self was waiting to be let out. But Kyokos mother refused to show her daughter any love and just kept scolding the little girl so things never changed. The black haired girl was already used to live some days or weeks with another family named Fuwa who had a son who was as old as she was when Kyoko was just seven years old. An age were any other little child would run crying to their mother or father if they were hurt. But Kyoko had no father, at least she didn´t know him. It could have been better if that man was in Kyokos life but he didn´t show up so it could be that he didn´t ever knew of his adorable daughter. So as she turned seven Kyoko promised herself something: Some day she would find and meet her father even if all she wanted was to ask him if he loved her.

It was one of those days. Kyoko came home with an test from school already in tears because she knew her mother would be angry with her for just getting 90 points at an test instead of all 100. She wanted so bad that her mother was proud of her but it was impossible. After Saena scolded her own daughter for being such a failure at school the little girl ran into the forest and held her tears until she was all alone. It was this one day that Kyoko found a beautiful lake with huge stones on the side in between all those trees. It was an open but small and beautiful land. But the beautiful nature was the second thing that the girls golden eyes saw and focused on. There standing on top of one of those stones was a blond blue eyed boy maybe three or four years older than her. And even if his first impression was shock, as soon as he saw the tears on Kyokos face he jumped down from his stone, walked up to her and took the confused girl in his arms. Not one word was said between the two children for some time both knew that this meeting would not be the last.

While being in his arms Kyoko felt loved for the very first time in her short life. The warmth the body of the older boy warmed up her cold body and slowly the tears stopped falling. "Kyoko." she spoke softly and looked up to him "My name is Kyoko Mogami. What is yours?" His blue eyes found her golden ones and as he spoke the black haired child suddenly recognized that the boy was not fully Japanese: "I am Ku-on Hizuri." Kuon spoke very slowly so that the girl was able to understand because he had an light American accent. "Corn?" Kyoko asked and the boy just laughed: "No you are mispronouncing. It is Kuon. I am mostly living in America so it may sound like Corn to you." The second time she did understand but she had more questions so she sat on the ground and patted next to her to signal Kuon that he could next to her.

"Is America far away?"

"How do you get there?"

"Where are you living now?"

"Can I come there and meet you?"

"How long will you stay in Japan?"

"How old are you?"

"Will you come back here?"

"When you are back in America can we keep in contact?"

The little girl had so many questions but Kuon answered every one as good as he could all the while trying not to disappoint Kyoko. The ten year old loved seeing her golden eyes shine. The tears did not look good on her face and Kuon was not able to keep himself from asking why she cried like the world was going under.

"Kyoko-chan. I really need to ask you a question: Why were you crying when we meet each other?" His voice was soft, warm and carefully. So Kyoko began to tell Kuon everything.

Growing up in America with his parents being famous as they were did show the young Kuon many things he was shocked about and did not understand. He himself even if he was mature for his age had many questions and some of those answers were very hard but Kuon had to know.

Coo knew that his son needed to understand the strange world he was living in.

Coming to Kyoto was one of the best things that could happen to his son as Kuon came back smiling every day but Coo saw the boy was thinking very hard about something and waited until he came to ask.

"Dad, why would a mother hate her own daughter and hurt her?"

As his son told him the story about his new little friend Coo became very angry but he knew he would not be able to bring that woman into prison as long she did not hurt her daughter with more than words. Women like this knew how to tell everything as it wasn´t their fault. So Coo got very serious and spoke to his son: "We will need to leave tomorrow but I want you to give Kyoko-chan our address so that she can write you every time and if she writes that she is getting beaten by her mother you need to tell me or your mother so we can act and help her."

As Kuon said goodbye Kyoko cried again and the tears wouldn´t stop falling. Her little hands gripped the boys' shirt and she said in between sobs: "And you really will write me back?" Oh Kuon didn´t want to let her go. Kyoko became a very good friend to him in the last week and nobody understood him so much like her. For a seven years old she listened very carefully as he spoke about the pressure he felt under the big hands of his famous as everyone believed he was just getting job offers in acting because he was Coo Hizuris son. Kyokos words were so simple and he had heard other close people telling him this but as Kyoko said this three words he really believed he could do it.

"Do your own." She had said looking up at him with big golden eyes. She was such a adorable young girl that Kuon had to take a picture from her wearing a red dress and pigtails. He would later take this photo everywhere with him even while acting.

"Here" he laid a blue shining stone in Kyokos little handy. "It will change the color if you hold it in the sun." The black haired girl held up the stone and her eyes were sparkling as it really changed colors: "It´s like magic." She said: "I will call it my Corn Stone because it was the first name I understood as you were introducing yourself."

In the following years Saena left her daughter with the Fuwa family forever and Kyoko was soon trained to be an Okami from Shotarus mother because his parents believed that their childhood friendship would turn into much more and they would lead the Inn. Kyoko was a clever child. Learning to cook and everything was very hard but she never stepped back and never said she couldn´t do something, she never stopped trying. Shotaru was a spoiled boy even Kyoko noticed this but never said anything because he would be her only friend at school while every other girl hated her for being so close to Sho Fuwa, their Love.

At sixteen Sho Fuwa asked his childhood friend to follow him to Tokyo so he could become a famous singer. But it was exact 9 years after Kuon left to go back to America and Kyoko knew that she had to finish school as early as possible so they could meet each other again. And so Kyoko Mogami said „no" to Sho Fuwa.
