Thank you all for the amazing reviews on my first fanfic! I was so happy to read them, and I've decided to try writing a longer fic. I originally had the idea to do a Skip Beat! fic based on Tangled and then came across all of the Skip Beat! writing challenges that there were. The forums have been pretty inactive lately, so I decided to write my own challenge and post a fic! So here's the Disney Challenge! Feel free to also do the challenge if you want!

Rules:

1) Take a Disney movie and write an AU fic using the characters of Skip Beat!

2) Must end with Kyoko/Ren if there is a pairing included (if you want to do one without any romance then "be my guest")

3) Must include at least 3 of these characters (but you can use any others too): Sho, Reino, Kanae, Yashiro, Lory, Maria, Chiori

4) The story has to end at the end of the movie, not before or after. (so if there's no wedding in the movie, you can't write a wedding for the fic sorry)

5) Try to stay as close to Skip Beat! character personalities as possible!

6) Animal characters are allowed to be changed into human characters when necessary.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Skip Beat! or Tangled. Please enjoy and review!

This is the story of how Ren Tsuruga died.

Don't worry, it's actually a really fun story and truth is, it isn't even his. This is the story of a girl named Kyoko Mogami. Her story starts in the kingdom of Kyoma. The queen of the kingdom had fallen deathly ill after becoming pregnant, and her husband searched everywhere for a cure. She got sicker and sicker each day, and her husband used up all of his energy trying to find the antidote to her unknown sickness. Finally, he was informed of a magical golden flower that had grown from a drop of sunlight that could heal any ailment. He sent for his guards to retrieve it at once, hoping he could save his wife in time. He wasn't the only one after the golden flower though.

Sho Fuwa had discovered the flower's existence and had used the flower's power to give him eternal youth to make all his fangirls swoon at his devilish good looks forever by singing a special song that gave him the power. Once he learned of the king's attempt to obtain the flower, he tried to hide it but was too late. The guards uprooted the flower to be made into a tea that when served to the queen instantly cured her. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with long auburn hair named Kyoko Mogami. The kingdom rejoiced at the new princess's arrival, but their joy was short lived. In the night Sho had snuck into the royal palace to cut off a strand of the girl's long hair to keep the magic forever, but when he tried, it turned black and instantly lost its magic. Sho was infuriated, and whisked away the baby in the night, never to be seen again. He took her to a faraway tower to keep her there and use her magic, and she was raised by the personal Okami and Taisho of Sho who had an insane amount of money to pay them due to his popularity as a local singer. After Kyoko had been able to take care of herself, Sho forbid the Okami and Taisho from ever going to the tower again. Thus, Kyoko was left by herself most of the time. Sho occasionally came to visit Kyoko to utilize her magic by brushing her long hair, but he left just as quickly. Kyoko started to love Sho, and every time he came back she would happily let him brush her hair as long as she could be with him. But she also loved to watch the beautiful stars that would appear in the sky every night on her birthday. Little did she know that those were the lanterns released by her parents every year on her birthday, hoping that the lost princess would one day come home.

...

Kyoko happily sweeped the floors of the tower she had called home for the past 16 years. She was excited since she knew that Sho was coming back that day. She cleaned every corner of the tower and cooked a delicious meal, awaiting his arrival. Usually her days would consist of painting, cooking, reading, voodoo doll making, and curse casting to name a few, but today was different. She wasn't only going to see her precious Sho-chan, but she was going to ask him to take her to see the floating lights on her 17th birthday!

"Kyoko. Let down your hair," Sho called out from below the tower.

Kyoko excitedly ran to the window and threw out her crazily long hair to hoist Sho up the tower. When he successfully got up, she gave him a big hug and let him eat the pudding she had made especially for him.

"Ey, Kyoko let me brush your hair now," Sho coldly said after finishing the pudding.

"Sure, Sho-chan!" Kyoko happily exclaimed. She hurriedly sang the song that Sho usually sang to use her hair's power so that she could tell him of her birthday wish.

"Hey! Why did you rush like that Kyoko?" Sho spat.

"I want to see the floating lights!" Kyoko exclaimed.

Sho paused. "What are you talking about, stupid girl? There's no such thing."

"I know there is! I see them every year on my birthday!"

"No. You can't see them." Sho firmly stated.

"Why not?" Kyoko asked dejectedly.

"The world is filled with dangers like pinhead pretty boys and love obsessed presidents. You wouldn't survive one day out there. And besides, you're my servant. That's the only reason why I brought you to this tower. You can't live on your own out there. You're too plain and boring with no sex appeal," Sho cockily stated.

Kyoko grimaced in pain as a box opened inside her, and she fell to the ground in heartbreak. She had loved Sho only for him to tell her that he only was with her since she was a servant! She wanted to cry, but her inner grudges had been released which made her laugh internally. She was going to get revenge! She would show him! She could survive in that outside world and see the floating lights! Then he would take her back and love her! But for her plan to work, she needed to get him out of the tower for a long period of time to sneak away.

"Fine," Kyoko said with concealed rage as she got up from the floor. "Then can you at least bring me back new paints on your next trip out?"

Sho clicked his tongue in annoyance. He had expected a different reaction from this girl at his servant comment. How boring. "I'll think about it," he said while climbing out the only window of the tower.

"Eh?! Sho-chan, when are you coming back?!" Kyoko wailed, but she was too late. He had left.

Kyoko then let the evil grin she had been hiding slip onto her face. She had been acting back there to put her plan in motion. How she had such acting skills, she had no idea. She started madly dashing around her room thinking of her incoming revenge against Sho.

...

Ren ran away as fast as he could with his insanely long legs. As a famous thief, he had wanted to steal the ultimate prize: the lost princess's crown. Now all of the palace's guards were after him for his satchel containing the crown. He had managed to use his devilishly handsome good looks to flash a dazzling smile at the guards which consequently caused all female guards to stop pursuing him as they melted into puddles at his gaze. As he ran from the remaining guards, he saw a gathering of vines out of the corner of his eye. Managing to turn a corner and jump onto a branch above him like a fairy, he was able to get the guards to pass by him without noticing him. He then ran to hide behind the vines just in time as another troop of guards ran past him a few seconds later. After the guards had all left, he realized that there was something hidden in the cave behind the vines that he had hidden behind, so he decided to walk through the cave. It turned out to actually be a tunnel that led to a secluded tower. He decided that it was as good a spot as any to hide in, so he began to climb the tower. When he reached the top, he pulled himself safely inside and sighed in relief, but his sigh was interrupted when he was knocked unconscious by a frying pan smacking him in the face.

...

Kyoko was terrified at the strange man that had entered her tower. It wasn't Sho, so she didn't know who he was since she had never met any men other than Sho and the Taisho. It didn't look like he was a love obsessed president, but could he be a pinhead pretty boy? She tied him to a chair with her hair just in case while taking the satchel he had brought with him. As she opened the satchel, she saw a beautiful crown with diamonds surrounded by small pearls and small sapphire flowers set in a gold frame. There was a beautiful stone in the middle of the crown that switched colors from dark blue to a light amber when she held it up to the light of the window. She tried on the crown in front of her mirror and felt that she was a true princess like the ones in her books as she gazed at her reflection. When she heard a soft groan from her prisoner, she ran to put the crown in the satchel, and she threw it into a pot to hide it.

As Ren woke up and glanced at his fuzzy surroundings, he noticed that he was in a small room. It looked like a bedroom of some sorts, but he didn't know who the owner of it was.

"Who are you?" He heard a female voice say. He tried to get up from the chair he was currently sitting on but found that he was being bound by- hair?

"I asked, who are you?" A small young girl stepped out of the shadows. Ren had to admit, she was beautiful.

"My name is Ren Tsuruga. To whom do I owe the pleasure of my company?" Ren said with a gentlemanly smile. He was annoyed that this weird girl had bound him in her own hair, but he could make any girl swoon from his smile and comply to any of his demands. That was why he was able to steal things so easily. This girl would be a piece of cake.

Kyoko froze. She had never seen smiles being used as weapons, but she was sure that the dark aura around this man was subconsciously portrayed through his smile.

"Why did you come here? Are you here to cut my hair?" Kyoko glared.

"What? Of course not! I just want to get out of your hair. Literally," Ren replied.

"Wait. Really?"

"Of course!" Ren paused.

"Well then I'll let you go... if you take me to see the floating lights!"

"Sorry, but I can't do that," Ren tried again with a gentlemanly smile.

"Why not?" Kyoko asked, wary of his lying smile again.

"The lantern display is inside the kingdom, and right now the kingdom and I are not on really good terms," Ren replied. He then remembered how he had ended up in her tower in the first place and panicked. "Wait! Where's my satchel?"

"I've hidden it. Unless you take me to see the floating lights, I won't give it back to you."

Ren looked around. He was a professional thief, so of course he knew where the most obvious hiding place was. "It's in that pot isn't it?" Ren motioned with his head.

Kyoko gasped before regaining her composure. "It doesn't matter where it is. I'll give it back to you if you accept my deal. I promise. And when I promise something, I never EVER break that promise." Kyoko said seriously while staring him in the eye.

This girl was one of the first to not be affected by Ren's gentlemanly smile. He was going to have to try a different strategy. "Okay. You've forced me to do this."

Kyoko froze as Ren gave her a look that sent shivers down her spine. The only words she could use to describe the look were "Emperor of the Night". For some reason, her heart started beating erratically. She decided to hit Ren with her frying pan again to stop him from affecting her the way he did.

"Ow!"

"Stop that look! Will you take me to see the floating lights or not?" Kyoko said, clearly annoyed by this guy's antics.

"Fine! I'll take you." Ren said sighing.

Kyoko immediately untied Ren from her hair at his agreement of her deal.

"Who even are you?" Ren asked.

"My name's Kyoko Mogami!" Kyoko exclaimed happily. "And I WILL get revenge on Shotaro for using me as a servant and denying my only request from him ever to see the floating lights!"

"Is that your reason for trying to see the lanterns, Mogami-san?"

"Yes!"

"Well then I particularly find your motivation disgusting. Anything motivated by revenge isn't worth it," Ren said harshly.

Ren grudgingly walked to the tower window and started to climb down. When he looked up, he saw that Kyoko wasn't following him down. He hoped his harsh talk made her rethink the deal she made with him. "Are you coming down or not?" Ren called out.

Kyoko paced around her bedroom as she took deep breaths. Was she ready to do this? She grabbed her trusty frying pan and hooked her hair around the pulley that Sho used to get into the tower using her hair as a rope. She ground her teeth at the thought of Sho. Of course she was ready. She was going to get her revenge! She steadied her hair, then jumped into a world full of adventure and the unknown.
