I do not own Skip Beat or any of it's characters

Thanks to everyone for the reviews!

"I agreed to come because you said it was important" An irritated Kanae glared at the pink frilly fabric she was holding like it was a disgusting bug. LoveMe Pink… shuddering, she threw it away like it had bitten her.

Kyoko had insisted that she needed help with something, so Kanae had agreed only then to be dragged into a fabric store. On one side there were rows upon rows of rolled up fabrics, whilst on the other side were piles of discarded left over material. What the hell are we doing here? Kanae fumed.

"But it IS important Moko-san!" Kyoko grabbed onto her best friends arm, a pleading look in her eyes.

"I took time out of my busy schedule to go shopping for clothing material… for dolls? HOW IS THIS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT?" Yanking out of Kyoko's grip, Kanae stormed away only to be jolted forward by the impact of Kyoko grabbing onto her waist.

"Mo! What the hell are you doing? Let go of me!" Unable to break free from Kyoko, Kanae couldn't understand how such a small girl could be so strong. What the hell is this girl made of?

"Moko-san! I'M SORRY! It -its's just that I-I'm making the d-dolls for Mother and Father and… and I want them to be p-per-perfectttt" Wailing loudly, Kyoko continued to cling desperately to Kanae, tears running down her cheeks.

All eyes locked on them and seeing no possible escape against her freakishly strong best friend, Kanae stopped struggling and resigned to the fact that she was trapped.

"FINE! But I don't understand why you needed me!"

"Moko-san!" overjoyed at Kanae agreeing to help, Kyoko, still attached to Kanae's middle, squeezed her even tighter.

"OW!" MO!"

With widening eyes, Kyoko quickly released Kanae and dropped to the ground apologetically.

"IM SO SORRY!" Kyoko shouted, not even looking up at Kanae.

Shocked by the inhuman speed Kyoko had dropped to the floor, Kanae hissed at Kyoko "Stop making such a scene! Get up already! Let's just hurry and get whatever it is you need and LEAVE'

"Yes!" wiping her eyes, Kyoko got to her feet and immediately ran to the nearest pile.

"Uggh!" Wincing at what felt like bruised ribs, Kanae watched as Kyoko muttered happily to herself and started rummaging through a pile of the darker coloured fabrics.

Kanae sighed and joined Kyoko at the pile "So can you please tell me why it is so important that I need to be here for this?"

Slowly turning to Kanae yet avoiding eye contact, Kyoko started mumbling so softly Kanae struggled to catch what she was saying "Because Moko-san, I-I wanted to see what material you liked… and and then…" Blushing Kyoko continued in one breath "."

Kanae just stood there gapping at Kyoko, her cheeks slightly going pink. Quickly recovering herself, she shot Kyoko a threatening look and resumed searching through the pile in front of her, trying to ignore Kyoko's pitiful expression.

She wants to make a doll of me? Glancing at Kyoko, Kanae shuddered when she pictured how the doll turned out. What if she makes me hideous? No … she's too much of a perfectionist, she'll make it so realistic that you could mistake it for the real thing, just like that one of Tsuruga Ren she gave to Maria.

"Are you after any particular colour?" The sooner we get out of here the better. Kanae peered over at the colours in front of her.

"No! I was just hoping that we'd find something and be like 'that's the one!" Kyoko answered with a dreamy look.

Going pale, Kanae could just picture what Kyoko had in mind. She's going to go for the fairy tale theme isn't she? Please oh please don't make mine wear a huge frilly dress! Seeing the pile nearest her, Kanae changed her mind Fine! A frilly dress will do! Anything will do just so long as it's-

"Not pink" Kyoko side stepped the pile acting like if she went near it, it would kill her.

Sighing in relief and also avoiding the pink pile, Kanae turned to the pile on her left whilst Kyoko headed over to where the whites would be.

"How about this one?" Kanae turned round and asked Kyoko, holding up a pale blue fabric.

"AAAH! IT'S WONDERFUL!" running up to Kanae, Kyoko started gushing "It's just the thing I was looking for! Look at the detail in it! The stitches are all woven delicately through!"

Kyoko face was overjoyed as she began rambling on and on about all the ways she could use it to make clothes.

Smiling faintly, Kanae thought "As long as she's happy"

Dumping the various things she had gathered onto the bed, Kyoko studied them carefully and began separating them into piles.

"This one is for father"

"And this is for mother"

Picking up the pale blue fabric chosen by Kanae, Kyoko hugged it to her chest and began rolling around the room giggling.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Kyoko sat up and slowly resumed sorting through the pile.

Within minutes Kyoko had the 3 separate piles on the floor. Carefully folding them and placing them at the foot of the bed, she gathered the tools required to begin building her doll.

Kyoko studied various pictures of Kuu, ranging from his early dramas to his most recent movies.

"Okay! Now let's begin!" With an eager grin, and hands moving rapidly, Kyoko began working on the doll that would soon become a replica of her cherished father.

Completely absorbed in her current task, by the time Kyoko looked at the time it was already late into the night.

"AAH! I have work tomorrow!" regretfully looking down at the now human looking form in her hands, Kyoko stood up and placed it on the shelf.

"Goodnight father!" looking to the left of the in-progress doll, Kyoko smiled "Goodnight Tsuruga-san!"

Please let me know what you think!
