This is my first fanfiction and I'm hoping to bridge a gap I've noticed in Skip Beat! fanfics. When Kyoko misses Sho's insults either Ren ends up falling for her way to fast, or Kyoko complete loses her strange devotion to Sho really quickly. So hopefully I can avoid most of these. the first few things I post will mostly rehash chapter one for my own benefit to help me get a grasp of how I want to write this. Comments and concerns appreciated. Sorry if this first bit is really boring. Sorry, if this entire attempt fails entirely.

I get up and work another shift like any other Moz. I get there on time like always, I grin like always at every customer's order. My coworker was late again, but it's no matter it's only professional that I wait for the store to be able to properly replace me.

"Thank you for your hard work." I say as I begin to rush from the building already shedding one uniform in favor of another. I have to hurry or I will be late. That would be unacceptable and horrible rude to the owners of the Darumaya so I simply have to hurry. It's 5:10 so I should be able to make it in time.

"From now on Sho's only for me!" Normally I would ignore those silly girls, but I can't help myself, they are talking about my precious Sho-chan so I need to listen as they ooh and aah. Sho is getting more fans how wonderful... Wait posters! "But, I bought two CDs as well but they never gave me any of those things."

How unfair I just want a poster of Shou-chan. Without even noticing I seem to shrink to the ground. It's so unfair. Damn it. Apparently my outburst caught their attention because they told me that if I went back to the store I might be able to get a poster. Yes! If I hurry I should be able to get their before work. I get to my bike and go off as fast as possible. If it was possible to exceed the speed of light I am reasonably certain I would definitely be going far far faster. The exercise is exhilarating. Though I may have scared the shop owner. He should be fine I don't think I shook him up too badly...I hope.

Shit, it is 5:45. The boss is going to be furious. I think I may have said that out loud. Oops.

I get to work on time but the proprietress is simply too kind. I know I must look exhausted and torn up, because she keeps telling that I shouldn't work so hard to be on time something about how I don't have to push myself so hard, they would be fine if I was a little late. All I really seem to catch is that I can't work in this state. I immediately start changing fully into my uniform. If I take a day off I won't be able to pay rent. I tell her as much.

"Do you live alone? You said you work other jobs as well." How can I answer that. No, I live with Sho, but Sho is almost never home. Oh, what am I supposed to say? "But, whatever your reasons may be, coming to Tokyo right after middle school, working all day without even going to high school, there's something wrong with that!" Is it really so wrong to support the boy I love. Sho-chan is everything I have to be there for him. "So young, don't want to do something for yourself like other girls." The proprietress is so very kind but I can't be like other girls. For Sho's sake I can do without if it means making his dreams come true than it is worth it. I would love to become beautiful like a princess from a fairy tail, but beauty isn't cheap in this life, and I can't waste money on myself like that.

I finally see the light on in my apartment, even if I'm not a princess, I still get to live with the prince. Sho-chan is home finally.

I'm so excited I can't seem to contain myself, I burst into the apartment exclaiming my joy. Naturally, Sho is just as image conscience as always and rebukes my over-enthusiasm and reminds me that I can't go announcing his presence to any random fan who might hear and then hunt him down. They might even try to take out their fanatical jealousy on me.

I offer to make him so dinner because it's rather late and I'm admittedly hungry, but of course he has already eaten, it was silly of me to ask it's 11 o'clock already.

"More importantly, why isn't there a single beer in the refrigerator?" I have to bite my tongue on reminding him that neither of us are of age to be drinking and instead opt to point out that "I don't drink and that he never answers the phone to tell me when he is returning, so naturally I don't..."

"So you're saying it's my fault?!" Sho shouts making jump slightly "I'm busy you know? I don;t have the time to call you over every damn thing." I upset him again, I always seem to make him angry recently. Work must be hard on him, and he is simply deflecting his frustration onto me, I just have to cheer him up, and I know just the trick for that. After all the girl he took with him from Kyoto ought to at least know that much.

I run to the store and come back just to find him leaving again. "only came for a change of clothes" he says. No. I can't have that. I pull out the pudding and from the look in his eyes I know he will stay to eat. Now to really lock him into this good mood. "Sho-chan, a girl named Marumaya-san, at work today, said she likes you more than Tsuruga now." Nothing cheers him up more than a good ego stroking. Now I just have to agree and push him along this topic and he is a good as set for at least and hour.

"Today's big guest is 'Him', you guessed it the uncontested number one man in the entertainment world Tsuruga Ren." Damn that TV. Time for damage control. I struggle as hard as I can to cheer him back up, but that damn TV just keeps making it worse. Now they bring up the rankings and I can only hope to direct Sho's attention to how high of a rank he is. He is out the door as soon as he sees his name in seventh place.

Damn, another night alone in this big apartment. Sho will most likely stay away for another week and I have no body else to even talk to. I glance at the clock and see it is almost 11:30. I have to be at my first job at 4 so it I don't even have time to cook up dinner for myself, I'll just take a shower and head to bed.

So, I'm ending it here. This is mostly how I'm planning to write Kyoko devoted, but still clever and relatively realistic regarding how she has to treat Sho and her own circumstances. Please give me and constructive commentary you have, even if I don't respond I promise I will read it.
