I Wish I Was the Moon

Kyoko watches the moon from her window and allows herself a rare moment of loneliness.

It's been this way since she was left with Sho's parents, as a young child, when her mother walked away from her. She remembers that—remembers that even when she thought she was in love, really, she was just lonely. It is the story of her life.

Now, she's tired, and all she wants to do is sleep so that she can have the energy to work/cook/hate Sho/maybe hate Ren, depending on how he is today/try/strive, but she cant sleep, because it's not easy to ignore being lonely, because it's a deep pain that never really goes away.

She grips the stone in her hand until she feels it warm, pulling heat from her body—I want to go back again, she thinks; He seemed to care—maybe, just maybe, we could have been friends, and I could have been happy…..

Kyoko watches the moon from her window and allows herself to weep. How would you know me now? she thinks.

Would you recognize me at all?

I wish you would.

A/N—This is my first fanfiction in the world of Skip Beat! So I hope I got the characterization and such right….

Inspired by the song "I Wish I Was the Moon" by Neko Case. Listen to it—the story'll make more sense then XD

I envision this as being placed somewhere between episode 1 and episode 10…….
