Disclaimer: If I made Skip Beat, The characters in the story would not have been as they are now, because Sho would have been killed long time ago. So obviously, I don't own skip beat. Nor do I have the genius or skill to create such a work of art.
Switch Beat!
Chapter 3 - It's him.
At 6:00am, Kyoko came down stairs fully dressed waiting for Tomoko. When Tomoko came down the steps, Kyoko smiled at her nervously. Tomoko noticed.
"It's o.k. Onee-chan. I won't mess up you wonderful life. I have the schedule, so I won't be late." Tomoko said, smirking at her. Oishi was in the back of the kitchen, feeling the warm atmosphere that fumed off them. He sadly smiled. Why would she want to separate these two people who fit together like a glove? Did Kyoko really enjoy her childhood? His smile faded into a frown without him knowing. Now he was starting to get angry. He would have to pay a certain someone for a visit. Tomoko drove a worried Kyoko to school and, with every stop sign, assured her everything would be alright. As soon as Tomoko pulled up in the LME parking lot, she knew her mission had started, and the spoils of being rich were no longer available to her. She was Kyoko Mogami, a struggling actress.

Yashiro and Ren walked out their car the minute Tomoko pressed the lock button on her car keys. She didn't notice them, but they sure did notice her! Yashiro scribbled something in this gay looking purple notebook Ren never seen before. When Ren leaned over to read what he wrote, Yashiro closed the book and walked briskly to Tomoko.
"Kyoko? I didn't know you could drive!" Yashiro said, stalling until Ren would give up and follow him. It took 30 seconds for him to 'casually' walk over. Tomoko almost died. THE Ren Tsuruga was in front of her 'casually'!! She instantly loved this life! She looked at Yashiro, thinking this must be Ren's best friend. Who is he to Kyoko? This guy with the glasses might be Kyoko's boyfriend... Tomoko thought, shrugging her shoulders. Even if he wasn't, flirting never hurts.
"Of course I could honey! It makes me mad you don't know! Awww! I can't stay mad at you ever! Well I got to go. I will call you tonight like always."Tomoko said, while playing with her hair. She smiled extra bright to Yashiro, bowed to Ren, and left.
Ren and Yashiro froze. Was she just FLIRTING WITH ME? Yashiro thought, and was afraid to look at Ren. Unfortunately for him, Ren wanted answers. He didn't exactly say that, but his eyes were readable. Of course he wouldn't have known that if he hadn't peeked at the corner of his eye back at Ren.
"Honey? When did Kyoko start calling you that, huh? What do you call her? Oh, I probably never knew about any of this because maybe you two 'close friends' only call each other that in your late night calls." Ren said, clearly drawing conclusions. Yashiro's draw dropped in awe that he would actually say something like that. He started to explain himself, but Ren just walked ahead, not listening to a word he said.
ooo
Tomoko gasped in horror at the monstrosity that she just dropped. Her hands started to shake whenever she tried to touch it. All she believed in went against that thing. That ugly bright pink jumpsuit with the most hideous logo on it! She moved back in horror like the garment was a venomous snake. When Kanae walked in, she witnessed Tomoko throwing everything she could find at it. Tomoko ran up to Kanae crying: "NOOOOOO! I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH IF YOU GET ME OUT OF WEARING THAT!" over and over again. Kanae would have just told her to say there was a hole in it, but Kyoko was acting weird. She already wore it a billion times. Plus, she was a bit curious about the secret.
"Deal." Kanae said like the secret wasn't enough for her. Tomoko smiled in relief, and felt anything is better than wearing that waste of fabric. And having one person know won't hurt. Right?
"I uh…..I'm not Kyoko-chan." Tomoko said looking at the floor. Kanae rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
"Are you lying to me?" She said, obviously not believing her. Tomoko shook her head sincerely.
"Who are you then?" Kanae asked doubtfully.
"Tomoko Ginka, Kyoko's twin sister. We switched so Kyoko can spend time with my father. If you don't believe me then, here." Tomoko said handing Kanae her license. Kanae nodded, now understanding.
"I can help you a bit. You see those two guys over there, walking in? That's obviously Ren Tsuruga, and the other is Yashiro, his manager. Ask me why they are walking in this room? Well, I don't know, but I think it has something to do with you." Kanae said, pointing to the pair.
"Oh! Hi Ya-Ya! Tsuruga-sama!" Tomoko said. Yashiro just wished he could tape her mouth right now. She's tearing up the relationship Ren and I built for a long time. Now she got Ren thinking that we are secretly dating! He won't trust me ever again!! Yashiro thought. Tomoko made a HUGE formality difference in their names. Kanae held back laughter, and Ren cringed slightly. Tomoko looked around at their faces and became confused.
"What did I do?!" Tomoko said, innocently. Kanae walked to a corner to strangle the viciously annoying laughter tugging at her throat. Ren had to shake it off or he would probably interrogate her about her secret relationship.
"We came to ask you if you wanted a ride to the Dark moon set." Ren finally said. Tomoko didn't know how to get there, or what it was, but she now she knew she had to go.
"Yes please! Thank you!" Tomoko said, giving him her most polite smile. Ren couldn't understand why she was acting so polite to him. It saddened him in a way, like he was at the beginning again, only the beginning never started polite with her. At least the 'recent' beginning. When they got to his car, Tomoko took out her IPod and started singing. It wasn't bad, actually, it was wonderful, but kind of annoying in a car with a nervous Yashiro and a road raged Ren.
"What Heck! He just cut me off!! Where did you get your fudging license?!" Ren yelled at a poor old lady. (Kirei: That is not what he said!! Wink!) The atmosphere worsened with a Tomoko loudly singing in the back seat. "You just cut a light!! Why don't you wait like the rest of us, or I'm going to crash that 2 cent piece of junk!" He yelled at the already passed car. Yashiro scribbled something in a black and blue notebook and sighed. This is his first time seeing Ren with road rage, and he had to record it. When they reached the studio, Tomoko noticed Ren looked a bit peeved when he was just sitting in the lobby.
"What's wrong, Tsuruga-sama?" Tomoko asked, sitting actually way too close next to him. It wasn't on purpose; she just sat, and ended up depriving Ren from any personal space. The thing was that while she thought nothing of it, Ren was suffering. He had to answer her, but the blush he was trying to hold back would slip out if he even moved. So he looked away, like he saw some interesting spider.
"Nothing. I just was cut off on the road…still kind of mad." Ren said, obviously lying. Tomoko wanted to see what he was looking at, so she leaned over. Ren wanted to get up, but couldn't. Actually, he wanted to something else, but that's what he wanted to avoid!
"You're lying. Something is bothering you! Look at me!" Tomoko said, seriously worried. It showed up in her voice, and that's a new reason why Ren won't look at her. But something was different about her, he realized. Her aura was different. Her voice was different, her smile was different. He looked at her by accident, and noticed something critical. He felt nothing. He wasn't blushing, his heart wasn't blaring, and He felt he was sitting next to a regular girl who was way too close to him. The thing that scared him the most was that he didn't want to feel this way. He actually wanted to stay in love with Kyoko. He felt happy every time she would appear….He didn't want to lose that feeling. That old saying he read in a fortune cookie the other day was too true. Your unwanted happiness, in the end, becomes the one you needed the most.
Ooo
After the practice, Tomoko went to Kyoko's school. As she walked through the halls, she noticed something unusual. No one said hi to her. In her school, everyone would push people aside just to welcome her, but no one even said a word to her. When she entered the class room, she wanted to make that change. She went up to random people and shared her best fashion and celebrity information. It worked, because now, she looked like a preacher preaching the word of glamour to the crowd of girls surrounding her. She was satisfied now, but she felt a wave of hate hit her back. When she turned around, she saw Mimori frowning at her.
"So Kyoko. Trying to get popular but speaking about stuff you don't even own?" Mimori said, trying to make her look bad. Tomoko smiled evilly at Mimori.
"No. I don't talk about anyone or anything that I haven't spoken to or owned before." Tomoko answered, shocking every one.
"So why don't you talk about my good buddy Sho Fuwa? " Mimori challenged.
