AN: First of all, I probably have a sickness for this 😊 I write too many Skip Beat fics and then more ideas come to me and I find it really hard to stop. Second, I hope that you enjoy it.

Saving Mr. Hizuri

Chapter One – The Client

Kyoko stood outside of LME looking up at the agency building. It had been three months ago that she had stood here with Tsuruga-san and they had both looked up at how big this building was. She hadn't truly understood it at first and then he had asked her how it looked on the day that she had knelt in front of it waiting to be let inside. Then she knew what he wanted to show her although she wasn't exactly sure why. She put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a necklace that had a silver star at the end of it.

"So, how does it look now that you've been inside for a long time?" Ren grinned as he stood beside Kyoko who was in her Love Me coveralls. Kyoko looked up and smiled. She knew that Ren was being distant for a reason but she wasn't sure what had happened. She had really hoped that it wasn't because he knew her secret and he felt strange. Was he going to reprimand her over her maidenly feelings for him.

"It looks smaller and safer and like home," Kyoko grinned as she turned to look at him but noticed that Ren was still seeming a bit off. "Tsuruga-san, is there a reason you asked me here?"

Ren took a deep breath in. "I'm not going to be coming back to the agency for at least a little bit, Mogami-san. I can't wait to see how you shine in the future, all those projects that you'll have to tell me about if we next meet," he said before coughing and Kyoko's eyes widened.

"Tsuruga-san, that isn't the type of thing that you should joke about," she said nervously and Ren shook his head.

"I'm not joking. Tomorrow is going to be my last day at LME for the foreseeable future. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about this before, Mogami-san, but I didn't know how to get it out. I suppose that even my presence isn't going to be irreplaceable," he said as Kyoko studied him again. What would cause Ren to say these things? He was the Ren Tsuruga.

"Are you going to another agency…maybe abroad?" Kyoko tried to guess but Ren just smiled and came over to her. He placed the necklace around her neck and smiled playfully. Kyoko blinked as she looked at it and how the diamonds changed colors in the light creating a rainbow effect. "Tsuruga-san?" she asked as Ren smiled.

"I have to go and be with my family," he told her, "but I wanted to say," he coughed again. "Thank you for everything, Mogami Kyoko," he said as she blushed hearing that. "I hope that we do meet again but if we don't, hopefully that star can be your guide to being the brightest one out there. I believe in you," he smiled as Kyoko stared at him.

It would be three months tomorrow that Ren announced his time-off from the acting field with nobody knowing if there was an end date. There were so many things that she had wanted to say to him, but before anyone knew it, he was gone. Apparently, his family lived underground or in outer space because nobody had seen him. He had just disappeared.

"I hope you're taking care of yourself, Tsuruga-san," she whispered as she brought the necklace out and studied the different colors in it. She hadn't been able to tell him that she loved him or tell him that she was actually Bo. She hadn't been able to thank him for his kindness. It was one moment he was here and the next…he was gone.

As Kyoko put the necklace into her pocket, she pulled out her phone and her eyes widened. The president had wanted to talk to her and she now had about five minutes to go up and into his office to talk about one of her last jobs as a Love Me member. The president had said that he still saw how much she loved Ren despite his absence and that as far as he had heard Ren was alive and okay.

She made her way to the office and smiled as she carefully took hold of the necklace. Maybe if she did become the very best actress, she would see him in the crowd cheering her on. Maybe at that time she would be strong enough to tell him that she cared about him. As she entered the office, she saw Lory dressed like a pirate and smiled before bowing.

"Kyoko," Lory said as he looked at the time, "You're two minutes late. I was expecting more when I heard about your powers, now I don't know if I want to give you this task or not," he said with a dramatic pout and Kyoko took a deep breath in before letting it out.

"Alright, should I go then?" she asked as she gestured to the door and Lory's eyes widened.

"Okay. I will give you this task, it's similar to what you were doing for Kuu Hizuri. There's another…friend of mine that I'd like you to help out whilst he's in Japan. You might be able to learn about acting from him as well. This man needs a lot of help but is quite stubborn so don't let me down," Lory pointed at Kyoko and she blinked.

"Su-Sure," she said with a weak smile. "Why does he need help if he's stubborn? Is it like Kuu-sama not wanting to prepare meals for himself?" she asked and Lory sighed.

"If you want details then you should ask him but without treading too much into his personal life, this man has a terminal disease and he's been having treatments for it for the past few months. He decided there were some things he wanted to do in Japan though. Two of the things that I need from you are to make sure that he eats and make sure he takes his medicine." Lory smiled, "You can do that for me, right?"

Kyoko paused as she stared at the president, "Are you asking me to be his nurse?" she asked and Lory hummed.

"There will also be some acting things that he might need some help on. I know that you won't let me down," he told her as Kyoko took a breath in and nodded. She was surprised when instead of telling her about the man, he gave her a long stay hotel room key and an address.

…..

…..

Kyoko didn't know if she would have to pack anything or stay here. Apparently, all she had to do was take care of him during the day, when she didn't have her other jobs, and she could leave at night. He was said to be understanding about any time conflicts. Still, this guy might be completely different to what the president had planned.

She knocked on the door and waited. She sighed as she tried to keep a straight back and looked at the shocking pink that she was wearing. Hopefully this man wouldn't cast her out because of the tacky color. Maybe he could be reasoned with.

Kyoko closed her eyes as she tried to come up with her thoughts of what this man could look like. When she opened her eyes she looked at the man in front of her and gasped, putting her hands over her mouth as tears were in her eyes. "Corn?" she asked, "You know the president?"

Kuon looked her up and down, he should have known it was like the president to do this. His hair had been shaved off about two and a half months ago when he had started his treatment and now there were short blond strands covering his head. He didn't wear contacts and so Kyoko could see right into his emerald eyes. He should have known that the president would do this.

Kuon was now becoming quite painfully aware of the IV bag he was holding up and how his body showed a lot of his bones since he was skinnier. He was also wearing a hoody and blue jeans because this is what his body felt most comfortable in. He blinked hard as he listened to the question and then nodded. She was seeing a sick Corn in front of her, not Kuon or Ren, that was a good thing.

"Oh, do you need to borrow a voice?" Kyoko said as she closed her eyes, "You can do the magic now if you'd like."

Kuon looked at her before smiling sadly, he moved so that he could lean against the wall. He hadn't expected for his body to get so ill so quickly. He grabbed a piece of paper and then started to write, making sure to use a handwriting that wasn't his own. 'I'm too ill for most magic. Your president helped me get this hotel room. You can come in but is it okay if I sit down?'

Kyoko looked at him and then looked around the hotel room. There weren't many items out although there were three bags that must have his items in them. Wait…hadn't she seen something like that bag before? "You and Tsuruga-san have similar bags," she smiled. "Are you sure there's no connection?"

Kuon looked after her and sat down with the IV, closing his eyes and trying to steady his breathing. He looked at her before writing again. Did your president tell you about my sickness? Did he tell you how bad?

Kyoko's eyes filled with tears as she read that and remembered what he had said. "Oh god, Corn. Corn are you dying? Is it because of the rule saying that fairies can't live on earth for a long time. Isn't there any medicine that you could take? Isn't there a way of making it to your home?"

Kuon smiled weakly, My magic isn't strong enough, but please don't be sad. I've lived longer than many other fairies and I've had a happy life because I've met you three times now. I can die happily.

Kyoko looked at him before her eyes caught onto something strange. She walked over to the coffee table and her hand started shaking as she picked up a cell phone and saw Corn's eyes widen as he noticed what she had in her hand. "C-Corn, do you often steal people's cell phones?" she asked as she inspected it again. She pressed the home button and felt herself become even more nervous when she saw it was a picture that Tsuruga-san had taken of the two of them together.

Stealing cellphones is an important fairy custom

Kuon wrote trying to show it to her as Kyoko's eyes widened. She heard Corn cough and her mind went back to how Ren had kept coughing when he told her that he had to go away for a while. Then there were all the other similarities. Kyoko's eyes widened and she looked at the man in front of her.

"Tsuruga-san?" she asked before hearing him cough and his eyes slid closed.
