Different Truths and Faces
AUTHORS NOTE
Okay, I know that I am currently working on an Inuyasha fanfic, but I just had to write this. This will divert from the manga and anime quite a bit, but I hope you still enjoy. So I will give you guys a chapter and you can decide if you want me to continue.
Disclaimer: I don't own Skip Beat, I do, however, own this plot and this laptop. Enjoy.
/ Kyoko – Age 6 /
"Corn, are you ok?" asked a distressed 6-year-old with raven black hair and stunning gold eyes.
A 10-year-old boy with dirty blonde hair, now known as Corn, looked up from the water he was staring into. When he saw how distressed the girl was, he plastered a smile on his face.
"I'm fine, Kyoko-chan."
"If you're upset, you can always tell me," the girl now known as Kyoko replied.
"It's alright, just my father wanting me to return," Corn said with a grimace.
"What? Why? Why do you have to return to the fairy world so quickly, I need you here. Please stay," Kyoko pleaded.
'Why did I start this fairy tale with her? I'm going to hurt her more,' Corn thought. "Because my father wants to teach me how to be king. He won't let me come here anymore. I'm so sorry Kyoko-chan," he replied with much sorrow in his face.
"Can I write to you?" the girl asked, looking for a way to stay connected to her only friend.
"I don't live somewhere where you can write. I'm sorry. But you still have your prince Sho, don't you?" Corn said, hoping to distract her.
"I don't like Sho like that, he's my older brother figure. How am I going to remember you?" Kyoko asked, crying at the end.
Feeling guilty, Corn did the one thing he knew would help her. "Hold up your hand, Kyoko-chan."
When Kyoko held out her hand, still crying, Corn gave her a deep blue almost purple stone. When Kyoko held it up to the sun to look at it more, it changed colours.
"That stone is magic. It takes away all your sadness when you hold it," Corn explained with a small smile.
"Thank you. I'll treasure it always," Kyoko promised.
"I must go now Kyoko-chan. I will see you again one day. I promise," Corn swore to both her and himself.
"NO! Don't go! Please! Stay!" Kyoko screamed after his back. But it was too late, he was gone. The last thing Kyoko say was his shining green eyes, filling with tears, looking at her with heart-shattering sadness.
Kyoko stayed there for a while, just crying her young heart out. When she finally stood to go back to the Fuwa Inn, it was almost dark. Kyoko ran as fast as she could (which was like supersonic speed!) back. When she got there, there was a strange man standing there.
"Fuwa-baa-san, who's this?" Kyoko asked after bowing and introducing herself to him.
"This man your Father…" Scene Change (HAHAHAHA! Cliffy in the middle of a chapter! YES!)
/ 10 years later /
A 16-year-old girl with long black hair and show-stopping gold eyes was riding her bike as quickly as she could, not wanting to be late back to her apartment.
'God. I hate everything about that arrogant little prick. I only went with him to get out of Kyoto and he expects me to slave around so he can live in an expensive apartment even though he stays at his managers' place more. If only Otou-san would let me leave him. But I have to stay with him until he gives me a reason to leave,' the girl thought darkly to herself.
When she reached the apartment, she saw the lights on and groaned. She ran up the stairs and plastered on a great big smile before throwing the door open shouting 'Sho-chan'.
"Kyoko! Be quiet. Why are you so late?" Sho snapped.
'Yeah, I'll snap his neck if he talks like that for too long,' "I was shopping and bought some strawberry pudding," Kyoko replied after her dark thoughts.
"Good girl. I have to go now. Keep paying the rent," Sho said as he grabbed the bags.
"THAT"S IT! I SWARE I AM GOING TO LEAVE TOMORROW!" Kyoko accidentally yelled aloud.
"Ha. Like you could live anywhere on your own. You're a boring, flat-chested, ugly maid," Sho said back.
"Ha. Shows what you know. Enjoy paying the rent," Kyoko said as she grabbed a small travelling bag and walked right past the stunned blonde wanna-a-be punk.
Kyoko jumped on her bike and headed to the Daruma-ya after calling to notify them that she's coming over.
When Kyoko got there, she paid for a room and laid on her bed, already planning what her next move would be. Once she knew what she was going to do, she went to sleep.
'I'm going to work for Lory.'
