AN: This was inspired by a review on another one of my fics but unfortunately I can't find it so I'm sorry if it was you. I was almost hesitant about writing this, I mean I already have 33 active Skip Beat fics but I really thought that it would be fun 😊 The response this receives will determine how frequently it will be updated.

Anyway, thank you and enjoy

It's Sho Time For Kuon

Chapter One – The Car Wreck

She had accomplished what had once seemed an impossible dream two years ago and she had conquered what had seemed even more impossible five years ago.

Kyoko, now twenty-two years old, was a mother of a one-year-old son, married to the love of her life – Corn, not Sho – and was frequently called the actress to represent Japan. It seemed magical. She had learned how important love was, not just the receiving of it but the giving of it and she and Kuon had just celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

It had all seemed so wonderful until today.

She had started the day just the same, she had left the house early to go to a modelling shoot (she now looked more similar to how Kijima had dressed her for the party rather than the Kyoko that she had been when she met Ren although this time it was all natural) and she had kissed her husband and son and tried to decide what to make for dinner when she and Kuon would switch places to do with childcare.

Kyoko had been excited about the new acting role that Sawara-san had offered her that day and she was eager to buy hamburger steaks to eat whilst telling Kuon. Kuon still wasn't interested in food but she could get him to taste anything that she made for them. It was just one of the many benefits of being his wife.

It was when she had been staring at the hamburger packets that the phone rang and that was all that was on Kyoko's mind.

"Hello, Hizuri Kyoko speaking. How can I…" she started, she had forgotten to check who was on the phone. She shouldn't have done that. If this was Kuon would he laugh at her, playfully tease her for not checking. She sighed, at least if it was Kuon they could joke about it. She closed her eyes before hearing an unfamiliar voice.

"Hizuri-san, this is Doctor Takayama at Tokyo Hospital. There has been an accident and we need you to come down to the hospital right away. Your husband is in critical condition."

Kyoko felt her breath catch in her throat and she felt the tears in her eyes, "And…and Kazuuki?" she asked wanting to know how her son was doing. Both boys were very important to her but if there was an accident that they were both in, Kuon had more chance of surviving it than Kaz did.

"He's got a few scrapes but your husband saved his life. It's a miracle that he wasn't hurt worse. I don't feel comfortable giving these details over the phone so if you could come here as soon as possible."

Kyoko choked, she felt a little relieved at least, "Thank you," she told him, "I will do so."

Kyoko bowed her head as she tried her best not to sob whilst sitting in the hospital waiting room with Kazuuki in her arms. It was true that he had a few scrapes and a couple of bruises but he was okay and they had already run multiple tests on him and a few more once Kyoko had requested it. He was a strong little boy but she had understood once she had been told about the car accident how much of a miracle this was and how Kuon had sustained most of the injuries himself.

She let her hand run over Kazuuki's head as she waited for a nurse or doctor to tell her that Kuon was out of surgery and that she could see him. She had phoned Kuu and Julie as soon as she had been told by the doctor to head for the waiting room but it would be several hours until they were here. "Pray with me, baby" she whispered to her son. "Let's wish Daddy a speedy recovery."

Kyoko felt tears in her eyes as she held Kazuuki close to her. Kuon had been the one who had taught her that she should appreciate everything in her life, that she could love and be loved, he had protected her and stood beside her. She had let him know that it was okay to deal with the past even if you were traumatized by it and she had seen him shed the layers of Ren and become Kuon and she had loved him in a way that she didn't believe love was possible outside of fairytales.

A doctor approached them and Kyoko kissed Kazuuki's head again before looking up at the doctor. She didn't want to be a single mother. She and Kuon had decided to do this together, she wasn't ready to be a single mother yet. "He's out of surgery, he's sustained some heavy injuries and it might be a little unnerving at first but he's out of surgery and his prospects are good."

Kyoko smiled weakly as she stood and heard someone running behind her. She looked back before giving a weak smile, "Just in time," she said as she saw Yashiro trying to catch his breath. "Can you take care of Kaz?" she asked her friend, "I…they're just letting me see Kuon."

"Just…need to…catch," Yashiro panted before taking some deep breaths in and stood with poise, "Yes, let me take my nephew," he said and Kyoko handed him over, kissing Kazuuki's forehead.

"Thank you so much," Kyoko bowed before following the doctor.

As they entered the room, Kyoko gasped and put her hand to her mouth. He didn't look like Kuon – although it was hard to see the true extent of the injury since he was covered in bandages – she could see though that his body had been burned, scarred, and pieces of skin had ripped off. Her eyes caught onto a folder that had a picture of the car accident in it – they shouldn't have left it in here – and the car had been completely destroyed and blown up. It was a miracle that it wasn't worse. Kuon must have done everything he could in the situation to protect their son even if it meant that he would die.

She felt tears slip down onto his face as he breathed through the oxygen mask. "Corn," she said before feeling heavy sobs leave her body. He had been so beautiful and she was terrified of what might be underneath these bandages. She saw the pain killers that he was on from the IV bag and sat by his side. He'd pull through this, wouldn't he?

"Kuon," she whispered as her fingers stretched out over his body.

"I don't think he's going to wake up any time soon," the doctor said and Kyoko nodded. She understood that. She sat down on a chair next to him and put a hand to his shoulder.

"I love you so much," she said as she stared at him.

He had sacrificed his life to save their son. That was who Kuon was.

…..

…..

Kyoko really hated the sun the following morning. It shouldn't be sunny whilst she was here in Kuon's hospital room, she hated that she had fallen asleep. She should have been staying awake and watching the heart monitor. She suddenly felt something strange, a twitching and she stood. He was looking at her with very weak emerald eyes. "Kuon," she said as she jumped up and he looked at her as if she was crazy. Was this amnesia? Did he have amnesia?

Without being able to stop him, Kuon took the oxygen mask and moved it aside. "So," he said with a cocky smile, his voice weak, "Y-You fin-nally," he coughed and Kyoko wanted to pull the mask back onto his face, "lef…that jer-jerk," he laughed and Kyoko tilted her head to the side confused.

"I haven't left anyone," she said as she looked around. She wasn't sure what was going on but as she heard him cough, her full attention went to the oxygen mask. She tried to grab it from him so she could put it back on his face but he looked smug and she was sure that she had seen this expression on somebody else's face.

"Co-con-grats," he said and Kyoko realized that his voice sounded different. It sounded familiar but she was scared to say who it actually did sound like. That man had caused some problems in their relationship before Kuon had proposed to her, "You—you're no—lo-longer a pl-plain bo—boring wo-woman."

Kyoko's eyes widened as she remembered how she had felt when Shotaro had said those words to her. She paused and took a deep breath in, his facial expressions, his voice, it was as if Shotaro had taken control of Kuon's body and as if her precious Corn had been possessed.

"Kuon?" she asked as she reached out to touch him but he glared at her.

"Well yo-you're st-stupid," he said before coughing again, "Ca—can't t-te-tell the di-di-difference."

Kyoko blinked hard. She felt her gut twist inside and she hated to say these words but she had to try, "Sho?" she asked before seeing him smile and put the mask back on. He nodded and Kyoko stared at him. Had Shotaro really invaded Kuon's body? Was Kuon in Shotaro's body?
