I Just Can't Tell You How Much I love You: Chapter 1
Author's Note
This is my second 'Skip Beat!' story but not a one-shot. The first one was a one-shot so now I thought it will be fun to actually develop a story for 'Skip Beat!'. It's not going to have the same outcome to the one-shot so don't feel you have to read the one-shot to understand this story. Read the one-shot if you want but it's whatever for me since I feel the characters are OOC. Well, this time I feel I'm going to be able to grasp the characters of 'Skip beat!' since I'm trying to give their full essence in this story. All respect to Yoshiki Nakamura for creating a great story with really cool characters! (To be continued at the end of this chapter.)
DISCLAIMER: THE CHARACTERS OF THIS STORY SADLY DON'T BELONG TO ME. THIS STORY IS MINE BUT I DON'T MAKE A PROFIT. THIS STORY WAS CREATED FOR 'SKIP BEAT!' FANS, LOVERS, AND MANIACS. SO PLEASE ENJOY! -Words from a person just like you who wants Ren to finally get over his 'I cant be loved' and finally tell Kyoko he loves her so they can get married and have a cute little 'Corn'. As of now she's in her own little world where Ren and Kyoko are just saying how much they love each other with kisses and hot *cough cough*... Is it really possible!? KYAAAA!!! I don't know why that came out of my mouth.
It's time to let her debut!
Lory Takadara, the president of LME productions, sat in the sofa of his favorite room located on the top floor of LME Productions. Though this time he wasn't watching some of his favorite dramas; this time he is in a secret meeting with a particular person. This meeting was secret but only his trusty employees knew about it; the president is really sure his employees are not going to say or tell anyone.
"You are really sure about this?" Lory, the president, said as he fully gives his challenge look at the person that requested this secret meeting in the first place; a look that tells that person he is not really sure about what he's saying.
"Yes," The person responds his challenging look with a smirk and a chuckle. "I have no doubts about this."
"So you want her as your lead then..." The president sighs to himself in disappointment.
"Yes, I'm sure she's ready even though you don't want her to debut..." The president sighs as he hears that statement.
"Is not that I don't want her to, is just that I think she's not ready..."
"Since you are the president of LME Productions I can't argue with that but I can tell you haven't noticed her potentials yet. I have been watching over her and that girl can really be scary, literally yes, but that girl developed both as a person and an actress. I was shocked when I saw with my very own eyes how she created both 'Mio' and 'Natsu'."
"Yeah, she's really something but I think she still needs time to debut... Though..." The president sighs to himself again, "Since she's a member of 'Love Me' she did something beyond my expectations; she got someone to fall in love with her. She still doesn't know yet but she managed to and to be precise; he's really hard to get. That I think deserves a reward and I remember clearly that I said 'If you manage to get people to love you then you can get your debut'."
"Then what?" The person asks as he walks towards the president, "Will you let her debut?" The president didn't have any chance but to give in.
"Okay then, you have my blessings Shinkai."
"I knew I could count on you president." Shinkai says as he smirks and gives his hand to the president.
"Take good care of her, after all, she's one of my babies." and they finally shake hands in agreement.
"She will have extra care, after all, she too is very dear to me." The president smiles as he hears that from Shinkai.
"I never heard it from you but I heard there was a chaos during the filming of one of your movies." Shinkai just looks at the president with horror as he hears that the president heard about that chaos; he really didn't want the president to know about that.
"How did you find out?" Shinkai couldn't help but ask.
"Don't underestimate me, after all, I am the president of LME Productions and I find out about everything as they are happening at the moment."
"Is that so..." Shinkai couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
"Are you making fun of me boy?" The president snaps as he hears the laugh from Shinkai.
"No, I'm not, is just that I could see you really care about the people around you; every single one of them. I'm quiet jealous."
"Don't be!" The president snaps again. "You are included as well with all those people. Everyone that works to make me happy are really important to me. You should be thankful to all those wonderful movies you direct."
"I'm quiet thankful for that so that's why I came to talk to you about those two, especially that girl, but now that you agreed, then it's settled." Shinkai couldn't help but let out a big happy smile.
"I see... you really want them both to lead your new film then..."
"Yes," Shinkai sighs to himself. "As someone that got to see her potentials during that battle, I was really static and thrilled as I saw he took her seriously. She was a beginner at that time and now that she has come this far, I want to share that feeling to the public!" Shinkai shows his confident smile to the president, "Though..." He now changes his confident smile to a teasing smile. "You want them to act together for a different reason..."
"Indeed!" It;s clear in the president's face that he is thinking about love. "That love scene..."
"Yes, that love scene. After all, the story is about two enemy gang groups; one is run by a woman and the other by a male. They end up falling in love with each other but they end deny it. The reason to that is that if they tell each other how they feel; they will end up being killed." The president couldn't help but make a crying face as he hears the tragedy of the story.
"But..." The president crosses his arms together as he sighs again. "I wonder how she will take it... I know how she gets when she hears the word 'Love' so... will she agree to lead in your film?"
"I guess is up to her..." Shinkai sighs in disappointment.
"Not just her. She might agree but we still have to consider him. After all, he is afraid to show his true feelings so he might not agree with it. It's a love scene after all!" The president sighs in disappointment as well.
"Hopefully they agree." Shinkai's hopes are down by now.
"Though, I'm curious. What if both agree to lead your film? The heat from his love will definitely make an impact on people more than 'Dark Moon' and I know I will be watching it over and over again. I might as well just show up during the filming of that scene." The president just let out a happy smile as he thought about his statement. He definitely is going to go see the filming of that scene; secretly if he has to.
"Then, we will keep it a secret until the day of filming." Shinkai says as he sighs again.
"It's better that way..." The president says. "Ren won't be happy if he finds out sooner so we have to do everything we can to avoid their encounter. I, will have her work for me during that time, as for Ren, he already has a busy schedule so there's no need to sabotage it."
"Then, when will they get this news?" Shinkai asks.
"Today, if possible. I could tell by now that Kyoko is suffering because she doesn't have a new role. She finished 'Box R' by now so she is only working as 'Bo'."
"Oh yeah..." Shinkai laughs a little. "That chicken from that show..."
"It's a secret though so we can't just be saying it casually." The president says that as he tries to make it clear to not mention it again.
"I can't wait to see her face when she finally gets to debut..." Shinkai couldn't help but feel happy for her.
"Not just that... I wonder what she will do and say as she finds out she has to do a love scene." The President just looks at Shinkai with his sour face.
"Eh... you're right..." Shinkai sure feels defeated as of now.
"She's a professional even though she feels she's not. She does know she's an actress and has to do this kind of scenes one way or another. I know she will end up agreeing on doing the scene but I don't know what she will do if it's him she has to do it with." Shinkai almost chokes as he hears what the president is saying.
"I think you are right..." Shinkai responds and a big sweat drop formed in his forehead.
"It's her debut though so I feel confident that she will agree. She is a strange girl after all so I have no doubts about it. Kyoko will sure agree with the extends of knowing she will work along with her trusty senpai."
"A toast then?" Shinkai says as he gives a glass of wine to the president. Apparently he was serving himself one but just decided to give one to the president.
"Yes, a toast!" and the president accepts the glass. "To Kyoko and Ren."
"To Kyoko and Ren!" Shinkai responds and they drink their wine in triumph.
Author's Note (Cont.)
Nakamura-sensei is really a talented mangaka so I think her characters shouldn't be changed. I feel that if I do that then it's like disrespecting her in a way. It was hard for her to make those characters to just change them all of the sudden in this story. She might not hear about this story since it's a fanfic after all but there's a possibility that she might. If she hears about this then I'll let her know I'm a really big fan and I wish to meet her. I'll even do a 'dogeza'! I hope I don't disappoint her in a way if she does hear about this story and reads it. Arigatou Nakamura-sensei for creating 'Skip Beat!' and sharing it will all your fans! I really mean it!
Okay, now back to the fans. Hope you enjoy this new properly though off story created by just a fan and maniac of 'Skip Beat!'. Like I said before, this won't have anything to do with the one-shot so no need to read it, okay? Well, please review and talk to you later on future chaps! I'll definitely need all the encouragement from all of you to continue this story!
JA NE!

P.S. For all of you who forgot, Shinkai is the director of the movie where Kyoko competed with another actress for the main role. Shinkai couldn't make Kyoko the lead at that time since the other girl was originally the lead and the president would have gotten really mad at him for making Kyoko the lead. Well, If you still don't remember who Shinkai is... he gave Kyoko a picture of herself as sorry to using her, though, she took it as a memory for using make-up her very first time. He makes his debut in 'Skip Beat!' Act 9 and ends it in Act 14. Hope this helped! And... it's good to know that when he finally saw her potential, he got interested in her; as an actress though! XD
