I do not own Skip Beat, or any of the Characters, I just have a lot of fun using them. :D This is my first time posting, so please review, unless you're a troll... actually you can totally troll, and my sister and I will laugh at you.
Kyoko burst through the door of LME. No one really stared at her offensively pink jumpsuit, or the frantic way she bustled in and out of the studio, it had become common place. Even if they had muttered or pointed, Kyoko would have been completely oblivious, she was in too much of a hurry. Lory had asked her to be on standby just in case anything came up for the love me section. That wouldn't have been an issue, except that the man had told her not 15 minutes ago! Kyoko's dark thoughts were interrupted as she accidentally walked into someone's back.
"Sorry about that!" she said, mentally berating herself for being so oblivious to her surroundings.
"It's fine" said the man, hardly glancing at her and looking as if he'd just been shaken from a spell.
What was that about? thought Kyoko, finally noticing that there was a huge group in the lobby, all seemingly fixated on one point. Pushing through the crowd, Kyoko saw what the focus of everyone's attention was.
It was a woman. She was breathtaking to look at. Her long golden hair fell into perfect ringlets that seemed to glitter as if blessed by the god of gold himself. She wore a long floor length white dress that hung loosely on her, expect at the waist, where it was fitted, accenting her small waist and hinting at ample curves. But what struck Kyoko the most was the woman's face. Her eyes were bright green, with flecks of brown throughout and there was what seemed to be blue scales dotting one side of her face and shoulder. All in all, Kyoko had never seen such a woman. Who was she? Even her grudges seemed stunned by her shining aura. Was she here doing a shoot? Or-
"Hello Kyoko." Said the woman looking directly into her eyes. Kyoko's heart nearly stopped. She hadn't noticed till now how close she'd gotten to the woman, far too engrossed in observing this perfection of the female species. They were practically nose to nose.
"I'M SO SORRY FOR MY RUDNESS! Said Kyoko falling straight into a dogeza, "I was so entranced by you I forgot myself. I've only met one other who is comparable to your radiant beauty!"
"Corn right?" said the woman with ease.
Kyoko's head shot up.
"How did you know?" She asked, heart racing, so many questions swirling in her mind.
"The same way I knew your name Kyoko" said the woman, bending down and raising her to her feet, "I looked at your past."
Kyoko sat and thought for a minute before turning sparkling eyes on the woman "Are you a fairy too then?"
The woman nodded in reply.
"Oh my goodness!" burst Kyoko. "I can't believe it! What brings you here? Will you be staying long? How did you know where to find me? Wait, did you come to find me, or were you just passing by? Whose voice did you borrow? Can I see your wings?"
The woman had looked amused throughout Kyoko's outburst, but with this last question, her immaculate face seemed to scrunch up in pain and she covered her face with one of her delicate white hands and replied, "I can't show you my wings."
Kyoko was horrified, at her thoughtless question.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or hurt your feelings!", she said preparing to go down in a dogeza again. Half way down, the woman caught her arm, the other was still dramatically covering her face.
"It's fine" she replied, "It's just… I've been cursed by a dragon. He took my wings, and now I have less than a week to live."
"Oh how awful! Said Kyoko, her eyes tearing up at the thought of this beautiful fairy losing its wings. She sat, thinking hard for a moment before blushing slightly and looking up at the fairy, "Do you think a k-k-kiss would break your curse like it did Corn's?"
The fairy stared at her blankly, the faintest hint of surprise showing on her face, but Kyoko missed it entirely.
"I'm afraid not." Said the woman, dropping her hands and looking into Kyoko's eyes once again, "But what I want more than anything - more than living even - is to look on the face of my son Corn once again."
Lory sat at the edge of a swimming pool, humming in content pride. He really was getting the hang of swimming with this rubber mermaid tail. He would have to get the props people to make a suitable palanquin for him to be carried around on, or maybe even a glass tank. He mulled it all over in his head.
He really wanted to continue practicing swimming, but he was waiting for Kyoko to call. Julie had left him a message less than an hour ago.
"Hey Lory you child kidnapping SOB. I just finished with Jelly, I'm coming your way. Make sure Kyoko's at the studio."
The message had nearly made his heart stop. If that woman had given him any time, he could have arranged something. But no. Instead, he'd been forced to make up some excuse to get Kyoko to the studio. He was sure she would call any minuet, frantically apologizing that she wouldn't be able to do the made up duty he'd assigned her.
Right on que, his under the sea ringtone went off.
"This is Lory." He said answering it.
"President!" Said Kyoko, voice frantic.
Just as I thought, thought Lory, barley listening as her flexed his tail out of the water, enjoying the droplets splashing everywhere.
"I'm so sorry to call you," continued Kyoko. "but there's a fairy that's cursed and it needs my help to find its son. Would it be alright if I help her? I'll try and find someone to fill my spot."
"No that's fine, I'll find someone else." He said, absent mindedly.
"Thank you so much." She said and hung up.
Lory slipped back into the water about to begin swimming again, then froze.
Did Kyoko just say she was helping a fairy?
