I do not own Skip Beat.

Enjoy!

Ronald did not know where he was but he know that there was a massive mess in front of him.

There was so much mess that he couldn't believe somebody could live in it.

"Make yourself comfortable" Shoko said, she had hoped that the sight of the apartment they shared together would trigger something within him but he was just staring at it. "I'm going to take a bath"

Wait.

GRANDPA LIVED HER WITH HER! Ronald realized with shock.

If he dared live with this kind of women, his mother would drag him home while his father would weakly defend him while giving a 'good job' wink.

She then left for the bathroom and he soon heard the shower turn on.

Thankfully the mess was enough to distract his mind from imagining her without any clothes on.

He had to clean.

He wouldn't feel comfortable if he didn't.

And that was how Shoko found him.

She could only stare in absolute disbelief as she saw him with rolled up sleeves, tiding up.

But Sho never tied up!

It was always her!

And from the looks of it, he was tidying everything in alphabetical order, he had even found the washing machine and can hear the machine hum.

She stared.

Did Sho not in fact lose his memory but developed a split personality instead?

Ch 3: You cannot ignore the Elephant in the room.

Shoko watched as he genuinely cleaned up and in a blink of an eye, the once messy apartment looked just as clean as when she first brought it.

Ronald gave a satisfied smile before he finally noticed her.

She was in a bath towel and her skin was liked pearly white.

It was the first time he had seen a grown woman in a bath towel other than his own mother.

He blushed and look away and said. "Please put something on!"

Shoko was stunned.

Since when could Sho act like an innocent teenager who had never looked seen a women's body before?

Seeing this, she decided to put some clothes on.

Only to come back later only to see a stunning sight.

Sho was at the stove!

"You don't mind if I cook something, right?" Ronald said, looking at the casual clothes that was still tight-fitting clothes on her. "Hospital food is really bland"

"Oh, sure." she said, she had the fire department on speed dial anyway.

Perhaps this would show him that he can't cook despite his brain telling him he could cook.

She didn't let him near the stove because Sho could set even hot water on fire.

Ronald went to the fridge, he seemed confused by this time's fridges, since he was so used to fingerprint scanning fridges so it took quite some time until he figured it out.

It was amused to see him watch, for Shoko that was for sure.

Once he had it open, he went in search for ingredients.

Thankfully since she cooked for Sho every day, she would always restock with fresh food unless he was feeling like take out.

She rose her eyebrows, when he got out some unusual food that weren't part of making a simple omelet rice.

He found the match's the pot and baking tray.

Luckily, the old gas cookers were still around 80 years from now.

She watched with wide eyes as he expertly started cracking egg's, finely cutting cucumber and peppers, and then adding gallic to the mix.

And then he added it to the egg's and began to mix it with a spoon, with skill that could only come from years of practice.

Shoko had no idea what he was making but mysteriously she had found herself already sitting down.

Then came the rice, Shoko was stunned to see him add a dribble of honey to it before adding salt and water.

The smell, that was starting to raise from the pot 10 minutes in...

Shoko sniffed it and couldn't help but wonder, what is this amazing smell, she was smelling?

Then he put the rest of it in another pot and added a dash of salt as he stirred well.

Then he got out some chicken fillet and wrapped them up in beacon before adding them to the sauce, making sure it, everything really got in there.

And then he turned around and was stunned to see Shoko sitting down and looking at the two pots with hungry eyes.

"U-Ur, would you like some?" Ronald said, it felt like if he didn't offer anything she would attack him.

"N-No, you don't have to" Shoko said, while still looking at the pot.

Ronald gave her an amused look that did not fit Shoko image for him at all and found two plates in which he delicately placed everything on them.

Shoko was shocked to see that the rice that was usually white was shining and the smell that erupted out of it, smelt so wonderful that her throat watered before it was even placed in front of her.

What is this amazing thing?

Wait.

Was it even edible?

This was Sho, they were talking about.

Shoko gave a questioning glance at him, only to find him already eating.

"What?" Ronald said, seeing her stare. "I've eating blend Hospital food for days."

Then Shoko looked at the deceptively delicious thing in front of her and took a chance.

She pick up a spoon and picked what she deemed the safest looking thing in front her and then ate it.

It was like the honey goodness had just kissed her and flavor just burst out of her mouth.

It was good.

Very good.

She began to pick up the pace, every part was amazing and complimented the other.

Then her spoon hit the plate.

There was nothing left.

Something that was piled high, had vanished just like that!

"I've got more if you want?" Ronald said, seeing her brief look of disappointment.

Shoko refused to be embarrassed and said. "Where did you learn to cook?"

And better then even her at that.

"From a young age, I would help my mother cook in the kitchen" Ronald said. "Instead of using a robot, my mother loved to cook the traditional style"

"..." Shoko felt speechless, but then she said. "Your grandpa...how did he describe me?"

"We'll he didn't really describe you. He showed me a bunch of old interviews with you in it" Ronald said, "But he said, that when he was younger, your practically took care of him. Doing stuff like cooking and cleaning. All he had to do was write song and could be childish as he wanted around you. He said it was paradise."

And Shoko had passive eyes, however, Ronald did not dare disclose the details of his granddad describing her body in detail.

"So... what did I do in the future before I died?" She said.

"I can't tell you, that." Ronald said, with his finger on his lips. "I might chance something big in the future."

"Don't you think you staying here, has already changed a bit of the future?" Shoko said.

Ronald expression was something she had never seen before, before he said with a smile that could only come from Sho. "Still not telling"

Then he got up and then said. "So which way is my room, Miss Shoko?"

"Miss Shoko?" She said, both her eyebrows were raised. "I'm not that old. Call me Shoko and we sleep in the same room"

And as soon as she said that there was a very noticeable long and unnatural pause.

"I think, I'm going sleep on the couch. If that's okay with you." he said, before he said. "I don't want to be a bother while I stay here so tell me if you something. I want to work for place here"

Shoko stared at him as he went to find the couch.

He was a lot kinder and considerate then the usual Sho.

Had Sho been faking his terrible cooking all along or did the doctor diagnose him wrong and 'Ronald' was actually a split personality.

Was 'Ronald' the grandchild of the personality and 'Sho' was seen as the grandfather?

Was Ronald created because Sho pride got in the way of fixing what he regretted?

She wasn't going to start believing that he came from the future just yet.

She spent the rest of the day a bit troubled until she decided to fall asleep, for the first time in quite some time, Sho wasn't sleeping right next to her.

However, when she woke up, she was greeted to the smell of freshly made breakfast,

She didn't know how to re-act to the sight of Sho cooking breakfast and presenting her with a delicious looking lunch.

Even her co-workers eyes were wide when she opened her glamorous lunch and disbelief was on their faces when she told them, Sho had her lunch.

Sho Fuwa, could actually cook?

More than a few people were understandably surprised but they thought about Sho Fuwa in a chef's hat feeding them one of his meals that looked delicious.

Then the end of the day came and she was understandably called into the President office.

The room wasn't wild and over the top like you would expect from Lory Takarada, Hokama Juichi instead had a very big sense of humor, he found Lory Takarada funny that's why the two could maintain a healthy rival relationship with each other.

The man was watching TV when she walked in.

"Sho Fuwa was just released from the Hospital yesterday after spending a week in care." The reporter for Japan's number one Entertainment network said. "Fans everywhere were happy to see that the Singer was in fact fine after that nasty fall from that Earthquake that only managed to move objects a bit. We tried to get in contact with the hospital or staff but got no response. But it doesn't change the fact that he seems to be in good healthy"

There were countless videos of 'Sho' getting into the Van and Hokama paused it.

He did not have a smile on his face as usual, when he saw her, of course the doctor contacted him because he was his boss and the man said. "Shoko...how bad is he?"

They were keeping the fact that Sho was not in fact fine away from the media.

"President" Shoko said, taking a seat. "He thinks he's somebody else named 'Ronald'. The Doctor thinks its head trauma but I've been with him the most. I think he might have a split personality."

The man sighed and said. "Are you sure? Doesn't he just need to rest for a few days?" he was hoping this was not anything big.

"President. He called me 'Miss Shoko'" She said, making the eyes widen in shock. "When we got back to the apartment. The first thing he did was to clean up and cook. He slept on a couch throughout the night and he cooked me a delicious breakfast and lunch. He refers to Sho as 'Grandpa'. He believes he's somebody from 80 years in the future."

"…...Have you done a blood test?" The man said.

"What?" Shoko said.

"Have you done a blood test?" The man repeated, "I've seen the live view and even I am surprised by how quick he managed to change and unconscious? Isn't that impossible?"

"President...are you saying that the person in my house may not be Sho?" She said, in disbelief.

"I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that we should have a blood test and show him the results. If he see's undeniable proof that he is in fact Sho. He might snap out of it" The man said. "Sho Fuwa, is the agency's top talent, he keeps us in the limelight. We can't hide him in your house forever, there are Fans who would believe we have him kidnapped or something and start trouble. Perhaps bringing him to work, just to watch, may snap him out of it. The doctor advised me, that allowing him to stay in an environment that is familiar, would be the best rode to recovery"

And Shoko know he was right.

If it wasn't for the fact that they had one of the people who claimed the title as number 1 in Japan, they would be dissolved into a lesser company in the eyes of the public.

It would be a disaster in a market were your constantly fighting over people's attention.

"President. The Doctors took a blood sample when Sho was checked in" Shoko said, " As his guardian, I'll give them the go ahead to do a Blood test." Then she sighed and said. "But I don't know if Sho can handle being here. He is convinced he is somebody else"

Indeed.

The shock may be too large in he was suddenly exposed all at once, she would have to be clever and get around that.

However, neither of them the Blood Test would only help support his case.

And scene!

Next chapter, under the excuse that he's having troubles with his memory, Ronald is introduced to the Agency his grandfather used to work at in his youth as Shoko makes him 'pretend' that he is Sho. However, it doesn't take long before those around realizes, he feels like a completely different person. Review/fav and follow!
