A/N: I can't believe I'm writing this story on the night before my finals. I must be crazy. (T_T) It's my first Skip Beat! fanfic though. Be nice! (Chapter re-uploaded on 5-27-09)
The door creaked to a close with an ominous like sound until it closed with a loud snap which echoed for what felt like a thousand years through Mogami Kyoko's ears.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" Kyoko screamed. She started clawing at the metal doorframe as her Grudge Demons tried to go through the cracks of the door but failed.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" She banged on the door. "You can't do this to me! Let me OUT!! LET… ME… OUUUUUT!!!!!"
"Oh, will you please just shut... the hell up?" Fuwa Sho exclaimed. "Someone will come soon enough okay? But for now, it looks like we're stuck in here," he said as he looked around the dark storage room filled with boxes and crates for different various scenes. He froze, and he slowly turned around to feel the wrath of Kyoko's menacing aura that shook the earth. Even the boxes and crates were rattling a little from her fearful aura.
Kyoko's eyes told Sho clearly that she thought that this was all entirely his fault. Meanwhile, the Grudge demons were plotting on how to kill Shotaro.
Grudge demon 1(Hate): "We should destroy him now while we still have the chance." It smirked devilishly. "The less witnesses the better."
Grudge demon 2(Malice): "But wait, we are in enemy's territory now, Akatoki Agency." it pointed out thoughtfully. "This could lead to catastrophic problems if they find him unconscious when we get out of here."
Grudge demon 3(Grudge): "That's true. We should leave him unscathed for this round or else the cast of Dark Moon cannot use the filming scenes because of us."
Grudge demon 4(Vendetta): "Dammit. So we leave Shotaro unharmed. Agreed?"
All demons together: "Agreed!"
Kyoko sighed in defeat. She slumped down against the wall of the door and put a hand across her forehead and eyes. I can't believe that I'm stuck with this idiot in this kind of situation, she thought darkly to herself. While Kyoko was sulking and feeling sorry for herself, Sho was still barely enduring the scary aura she was still emitting, if anyone forgot. But now, instead of menacing and furious, Kyoko's swirling mass of dark aura was now a dark, depressed and somewhat a pissed off black vortex. Sho didn't dare go near her during her foul mood; knowing the consequences. Instead, he thought of how all the things that happened that led to this.
The cast for Dark Moon was using a filming building that belonged to Akatoki Agency. Director Ogata knew that Kyoko would probably feel uncomfortable for being in place that belonged to Fuwa-kun's agency. He knew of the incident in Karuizawa involving Fuwa-kun and Kyoko but he didn't bring it up, knowing that it would upset Kyoko-chan. So he tried to reason with her without bringing up the stalker but of course, he failed so he gave up and he went along to the head of the group to lead them to the filming scenes.
Kyoko was still grumbling to herself and was swaying back and forth like a walking corpse.
"I'm in the enemy's territory. I'm in the enemy's territory. I could be attacked any moment. I'm in their lair. I'm in their hideout. I'm in the enemy's territory…"
Suddenly, she banged right into a hard wall and almost fell backwards if not for two strong arms holding her back up. It was then she realized that she didn't bump into a wall. She had just walked straight into the arms of her arch-nemesis: Fuwa Shotaro!!!
"Aw, shit!" she cursed.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sho asked, curious as to why she was here in his agency's building.
Kyoko quickly slapped Sho's hands away as regained her composure and put one hand on her hip. "I am here to film for Dark Moon. Director Ogata wanted to use this place to do the filming scenes because of the setting he had in mind. Now if you excuse me…"
Kyoko suddenly cut short as she noticed for the first time that there was nobody out in the hallway besides her and the bastard. Crap! She got separated from the group! She has to go catch up with them fast! She quickly walked past Sho without finishing her sentence.
"Oi," Sho called out to her, quickly catching up behind her. "You're going the wrong way."
Kyoko had walked into a dark room and found herself surrounded by cardboard boxes and crates. The only light that lit up the room was the light from the hallway from the open metal door.
"Oi," Sho called again as he stepped in the room.
Kyoko turned around without looking at him and walked right past him just as the door groaned to a close.
A full minute passed before he heard her blood curling scream.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
So yeah, that was basically what happened.
Sho glanced at Kyoko again from the corner of his eye as he noticed that the scary aura had calmed down. He immediately regreted it. As soon as Kyoko felt his eyes on here she turned her glare at him with a pair of eyes that only belonged to a demon.
Sho quickly looked away; freaked.
Kyoko sighed again as she pulled her knees close to her chest and hugged them tightly. It was going to be some time before someone gets them out, she thought. She sighed again.
Sho understood his childhood friend's silence so he just nodded to himself and folded his arms across his chest and leaned onto a stack of crates, sighing but not saying anything.
So the two waited.
A/N: So how was it? Please review! Kind criticism and suggestions are welcome!! Arigato!! ^^
