Skip Beat fanfic.

I do not own the manga or it's characters. If you love the manga then buy it to show your appreciation, like I do.

This fanfic is rated MA romance/LEMON and should only be read by adult people. (But sorry to say this chapter isn't having the Lemon parts in it.)

In the manga, chapter 185 with the Cain Heel siblings have just been released. But this story takes place a couple of years after that.

Enjoy!

Kyoko left the dressing room that she shared with Kanae. Her best friend had been really happy for Kyoko and said that it was about time that Ren had confessed his feeling for her and made her into a real woman. She had said that Kyoko would love having sex with him! Kyoko had blushed and had not wanted to talk about it. This was something for only her and Ren. Kanae had promised to be her bridesmaid and had talked about bridesmaids dresses.

Everyone was in a wedding hysteria right now. Even their boss Takarada-san had talked ideas with Ren and her when they had met him earlier in the day. Not all his ideas could be realized and some was a bit to weird for her tastes. But some had been really good and sounded fun. When they had gone out to get some make up before the press conference he had even had tears in his eyes and saying that he had waited so long for this day. He could even forgive Ren for not being able to wait until after their wedding day... he said and made Ren blush like a school kid.

The press conference had been great. All the reporters had cheered and been asking how long they've been a couple and things like that. Ren had looked like the happiest man alive and it had made Kyoko all warm inside seeing him like that. Most of the question Ren had answered but a few of them had been directed directly towards her. She was glad that she had been able to have a couple of interviews before in her career so that she didn't stutter or blush in a bad way.

She had gone trough the corridor and was halfway there to the set for the music video that she was going to be in. Suddenly someone grabbed her and dragged her into a room and then the person locked the door. She was just about to scream when she saw who it was. It was Kuu Hizuri.
- Father! She started smiling and received a great hug from him. She could even hear that he sniffled as if he was crying of joy.
- Don't cry father...
- I'm not crying Kuon. he said and blew his nose in an handkerchief. Oh! It's wrong to call you Kuon now. Aren't I right Kyoko-chan? He said and smiled at her. Kyoko wondered a bit of what he meant.
- I mean, now that you're going to be my daughter I can't be calling you my boys name! He laughed and gave here another hug. I'm so happy that Kuon can finally tell the world who he really is and that me and his mum can be in his wedding! I came over from the US as fast as I could when I heard him tell us of the news. I'm so happy for the both of you and since I've also been like your own father I would be the happiest man, apart from my son that is, if you would let me give you away at the altar.
Kyoko tensed but managed to give him the answer that she would love it if he would give her away on that day.
He excused himself and told her that he had to go before anyone would start to miss him and that way expose the truth before it was time for it. He went out and left her in a confused state. So Tsuruga Ren was Kuon Hizuri. Wait, it was more to it than that! Kuon had another identity also. Kuon was Corn... Ren was Corn! The realization hit her like a bomb and she had to steady herself against the table. Of course it was like that!
Kyoko had long thought that Ren was a bit like an older version of Corn but she had always thought that it wasn't so because Ren had brown eyes. Eye contacts was the answer for that riddle. Ren's eyes was actually green. She remembered once when she had seen him when they had played the Cain siblings and wondered. But at that time it had been rather dark and she had thought that it was her imagination. The hair was also easy to explain. Some days she had thought about it that he had showed signs of having to color his hair when she had noticed that the hair closest to the scalp had been a bit lighter. Maybe he hadn't had the will to color it on his days off since it had been at those times she had seen stopped her smile and realized that she was smiling. Why? She should be furious at him for lying like that to her! But then again, so had she. He still didn't know that she had been Bou the chicken. That show had ended a year ago and she sometimes missed that silly costume. When she thought about it she realized that she had probably guessed it for a long time that he could be Kuon and that this confirmed it. It hadn't really been that big of a shock and maybe that was the main reason why she weren't mad.

When she had gathered her thoughts a bit more she went out from the room and continued to the set.

This was going to be a job like all the rest, even if she didn't like it one bit. Once again she was going to be in the music video for Sho. She still didn't know what her role in it was supposed to be, but Takarada-san had said that this role was perfect for her. He had said that maybe this role could make her feel that she had won over Sho and could bury the war hatch for good. This had triggered her interest and had made her accept the role. It would probably be done in no time anyways.
She went in and saw that the crew was making the preparations for the set. She saw the producer and Sho standing in a corner discussing something. Sho didn't seem that happy and that spiked her curiosity even more. She went forward to them and she managed to hear Sho say in his angry voice that he couldn't understand why it had to be her that was playing that part! Anyone else would be tons better!
She realized that he was talking about her and became mad. What was this about! They had specifically asked for her for this production! Did this mean that it had been a lie?
She reached them and bowed to the producer when he saw her and greeted her. Sho she ignored for the time being. He would see that she could do any role they gave to her!
- Ah! Mogami-san. Great that you're here. I must first congratulate you on the great news we heard about today. It made us all so happy. She thanked him and took his hand in hers. He continued and started explaining the layout of the music video and the plot for it. Sho's next single was named: "Fooled by the temptress." and was about that his character had gotten into a temptress web and was trying to get out of her web. They where going to be filming a couple of different scenes where she pulled his strings and made him fall even more in love with him. In the end he would finally be able to get away from her.
Kyoko listened and got a bit shocked. They wanted to her to play a temptress! It didn't at all sound like the usual type of music Sho would write, but for some reason the role sounded fun and she liked the idea that Sho didn't like it at all.
The producer said that he thought that since they had such a tight schedule they would only have these three days to film the scenes, but they shouldn't have too much problems with that since they both where so good actors.
He then gave the both of them one script each and asked them to start reading them. They where still not done with the sets for the scenes yet and they had some time before the make-up crew would arrive.
Sho looked at her and looked amused when he said that he would like to see how good a temptress mousy Kyoko-san could be. She that didn't have any sex appeal at all. He laughed and went away to his dressing room with confidence.

Kyoko decided that she would stay on the set but took a chair to one of the empty corners and started reading the script. The scenes was rather simple written. They left her a lot of space to make her own portrait of the woman. At first she thought that the woman it described was a really sly and a bit evil person, but the more she read the more she got the feeling that she was actually getting a revenge from an earlier sin that the person Sho played had done. Karma was getting back at him. She smiled. She started to think of how she was going to portrait the woman...

Kyoko came out from the make-up feeling like another person. Her black wig had wavy shoulder length hair and looked perfect with the sexy red dress she was wearing. Green earrings made the assemble perfect together with the black pumps she had on. She felt sexy and it had been no problem getting into her version of "the temptress queen". She had borrowed some features from Ren's emperor of the night and made it into a female version of it.
She realized that the camera crew stared in awe at her when she went by. One of them even whistled and that made her a bit more confident that she had gotten the role right. She went into the set that portrayed a cafeteria. The meeting place for the couple in this story. She sat down on the end of the chair and took the sundae cup that the guy playing the waiter gave her.
Everyone else got into their places and the producer yelled "ACTION!"

Everyone started moving according to their roles and Kyoko had the bored expression on her face and looked at the clock. The doorbell rang and her gaze turned in that direction. A faint smile showed on her face before she hide it. Sho was standing arrogant in the door and scanned the room. He stopped the second he saw her. "What the! Is that Kyoko!" he thought and just stared at her. He quickly realized that he was supposed to act and then went over to the empty seat next to her. He sat down and couldn't help looking at her exposed leg between the slits in her dress. He managed to look up at her face and saw her smile and ask him if he had come here directly after his work ended. He shrugged as he thought that he was supposed to and then saw her take a spoon full of the sorbet in front of her. She then offered him the spoon and asked to say "ahh..." when he saw her red lips forming like that he automatically opened his mouth and took the spoon. He swallowed it and cursed himself. He hated sweet things like this and she made him eat it! He then watched in thrall when she took some more on the spoon again and licked the spoon in a really sensual way. He couldn't take his eyes from her mouth! He gulped and crossed his legs to hide the fact that his pants started to feel a bit to tight. He almost fell of the chair when he saw her tongue licking her lips as to be sure that every drop of the sorbet got eaten. He wanted more of that damn sorbet even if he hated sweet things. Damn her!
- CUT! The producer screamed and Kyoko was the first to go back into her normal self. Sho turned around on the chair and looked at the producer.
- What! We did as it said in the script. Sho felt better at lashing out on someone else for his strange behavior. It was his music video!
- No you didn't! You where supposed to do only look at her for a moment. Not ages! Lets take the scene again. He yelled and everyone where quick to go back into their starting positions. Sho muttered and was glad that he had a jacket that he could use to hide his bulging with. They took the scene again... and again.

Sho came out from the restroom. He had never been this frustrated! That Kyoko had transformed to, to a mans every wet dream! He felt how he started to get hard just thinking about her again. The release in the restroom had only had only lasted for a few minutes. He shouldn't be surprised, the other times he had felt the urge to jerk off because of her had ended the same way.
He was going crazy! These three days she had proven that she was more than capable of being the temptress for his video. Why hadn't she acted that way when they still lived together! That way he had never let her go and had the best time ever fulfilling all the dreams that he had had for every night and in his awake dreams between the shots. Even in the last scene it had felt like it had been her that was the one that "won". He didn't at all feel like the man that had won over his desires but instead being the one abandoning his beliefs.
Her teasing of him had felt like it was more than acting. It had felt real! The way that she had blown her breath in his neck that had made his whole body stir, the way she had danced in his arms in the disco scene, her scent and her eyes when he had "caught" her in the fall from the ladder scene. Or the way she almost made him come only by looking at him in the rain scene! Those where only a few of the moments that had made him rock hard during these days. She had even that damn look in between the roles also. He felt both annoyed and relieved when he had seen some of the other crew members trying to hide their own erections when they saw her. Atleast he wasn't the only one affected by her sensuality. But Kyoko was there because of him! No one else should even think of her in that way!

He saw that the rest of the crew was almost done with the disassembling of the props. He saw the make-up artist leave Kyoko's room and he felt the need to go there right now and see her. He took determined steps to her wardrobe and knocked the door. He didn't wait for an answer and went in and closed the door.
He found her standing over her bag putting down some things. She looked her regular plain self but he thought that she hadn't looked more beautiful in her whole life. She looked up at him and her eyes went wide with shock when she saw who it was.
- Sho, what are you doing in here? I thought that you had gone a long time ago.
- Ok, Kyoko-chan. You win.
- Win what? She looked really confused.
- This. He quickly went over the room and pressed her against the wall. He quickly covered his mouth over hers in a desperate kiss. When he tried to deepen the kiss he suddenly felt a burning sensation at his cheek and he staggered to the side. He took his hand to his burning cheek and looked shocked at her. She looked startled at him and at her hand that was still in front of her. She had slapped him!
- Why did you do that for? He yelled at her.
- What right do you have to kiss me like that! He looked confused at her. Didn't she like his kiss?
- I thought that you wanted me to kiss you. The way you acted said that...
- It was ACTING! A role that I had to do for this stupid music video!Why would I want to kiss you when I'm getting married to Ren in less than a months time!
Sho felt how his legs lost their strength and he quickly seated himself in one of the chairs that was in the room. He took a big breath before looking at her again.
- So you're really getting married to that good for nothing, second rate actor. At first I thought it was some kind of joke that you had. Why are you getting married to him? Didn't you say that you went into show business to show me that you could do it. Well, I do know that you are remarkable now. I would never had seen it if I hadn't made you hate me so passionately. I thought that that passion had turned around from hate to... something else.
He waited for her to give a response. At first she looked even more shocked, but after a few seconds she seemed to collect herself and gave a sigh before taking the other chair. She sat down and looked at him seriously.
- At first I went into show business because of you. That part is correct. You had hurt me really bad using me that way that you did. I wanted to get my revenge and show you what I could do. So yes, in that part you're correct. But soon after I started I did it because of myself. I really liked the things I did and wanted to get better for myself. I still did hate you, but that wasn't the reason why I acted. At the same time Ren was there, helping me evolve both as an actor and as an human being. It's because of him that I'm the person and the actor that I'm today. Because of him I do not hate you any more, mostly because the feelings I have for him is so much stronger. I... I love him. What I feel right now for you is pity. I didn't want to trick you into falling for me. If you did I'm so sorry. I don't want to hurt you. I hope that you soon will find a girl that you can truly love and when you do. Make her feel special and never let her go. Good bye Sho-san.

Kyoko took her bad and rose from the chair. She left the quiet man sitting in the other chair and closed the door behind her. She quickly went out from the studio and when she where at the wending machine her knees gave way. She shook and looked shocked at nothing. She loved Ren! She hadn't realized it earlier and seeing Sho like that in the dressing room had made her realize it. That must be the mayor reason why she wasn't angry at him for lying about Corn, and why she felt so good being together with him.
And it was true what she had said to Sho, she didn't hate him any more. The rest of her tiny demons had flown away when she realized that her love for Ren had finally made her able to forget and forgive what that boy Sho had done all those years ago.
She rose from the floor feeling relieved and happy. She wanted to go home to Ren now and tell him how much she love him. A big smile could be seen in her bright face all the way home.

Back in the room Sho still sat in the chair. He had lost her. And he had just realized what he had let go all those years ago. He had been a brat for not being able to see just what a gorgeous jewel she was until it was to late. He had seen that what Kyoko had said about loving Ren was true. She really did love him. That bastard had seen her for what she really was and had finally won her. He had known for years that Ren had liked her and had hated him for it. Kyoko had been his, but she was not any longer.
He couldn't stop it. His eyes over flowed and he cried bitter tears for his own foolishness. He had only himself to blame and cried even harder for that reason.

Outside his manager heard him cry. She both felt sorry that he felt so broken, but glad that maybe he was finally able to go on and find someone that he could act honest in front of. It had been a good idea to have Kyoko play that part in the music video. She was glad that the others had liked her idea.
She would let him cry a while longer before getting him home.

So, what do you say? ^_^ Sadly not that much Lemon in this chapter (more will come in the next one. Promise!)... a lot of other things happening though. but I liked to torture Sho a bit. I would say that this was the perfect way of Kyoko getting her revenge... not even trying or plotting. I will see when I have the time to write again since my holiday will end soon...
