Chapter 7

Me: I don't own Skip beat

Kyoko: That's it? There's no: or I would be pregnant?

Ren: Yeah? You okay?

Me: Eh, I can't think of anything D;

Them: Lazy.

Me: FINE, I DON'T OWN SKIP BEAT OR YOU TWO WOULD ALREADY HAVE BEEN MARRIED, HAVE TWO KIDS, AND LIVING IN A COUNTRY MANSION IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

Them: Not really…

Me: Whatever…enjoy (:

Kyoko stared at the note for what seemed an eternity. She shook her head and crumpled the paper and threw it in a random corner. She stared at the crumpled wad and shivered. She shot up from where she was sitting and paced while lightly slapping her cheeks. It's okay! You've gone through this and you are still living! FIGHTING! She stripped her clothing and snuggled into her worn pajamas. Then she snuggled into her futon and closed her eyes. Her mind was racing as well as her heart. The thought of Ren being in the next room made her nervous. Though unknown from Kyoko, Ren was in the same turmoil. He wanted to go to her room and snuggle in bed with her. He tightened his hands into balls and shut his eyes tightly. Control yourself, Kuon! She's still in highschool. Breathe in, out, in, out. His heart settled but only for a minute and then it started racing again. He got up and paced just like Kyoko did. He finally plopped down on the futon and sighed. Only Kyoko could do this to Ren and only Ren could do this to Kyoko. They are, truly, two idiots in love.

The next day was bright and sunny. Kyoko awoke at 6:00am like every morning and started making breakfast. She brought out pancake mix, 4 eggs, milk, sausage, and half of the already cut cantaloupe. She mixed the pancake mix with two of the four eggs and a ½ cup of milk. After making 4 perfect pancakes, she threw the sausages onto the pan and, while that was cooking, cut up some of the cantaloupe. Ren woke up to the sound of a sizzling pan and he slowly got out of the warm, comfy futon. He was tempted to crawl back in but dragged his feet to the bathroom. He splashed his face with ice cold water and brushed his teeth with the toothpaste and toothbrush that Kyoko set out for him. He walked down the stairs and saw Kyoko in a white, simple apron.

"Good morning." He said while smiling at the thought of waking up every morning to her making them breakfast. Kyoko jumped with surprise and turned around with a bright smile.

"Good morning, Ren!" she greeted. Ren smiled and plopped down onto a random seat. He rested his chin on his hands and stared at her. Kyoko blushed slightly and turned back to the sausages that were almost burnt. "Aw, man! They are almost burnt!" she exclaimed with a pout.

"It's alright. They're still fine." Ren said while getting up."What's for breakfast?" he asked while putting his chin on the top of her head.

"Pancakes, cantaloupe, sunny-side eggs, and burnt sausages." She said while trying to concentrate. He gave a hmm and took his chin off of her head then walked over to the fridge. He unearthed some orange juice and grabbed two glasses. He carefully poured them each a glass and set it on the table. She plated the sausages on the plate that had the eggs and pancakes already on. She picked up the plates and Ren took them from her. He gave her a wink and put it on the table that he was previously sitting. She muttered a thank you and sat down. They ate in silence before Ren broke the silence.

"Are you going to the school in your pajamas?" he asked with a little laughter in his voice. Kyoko looked down and her eyes widened.

"NOO!" she screamed while running up the stairs to her room. She shut the door and searched her room for suitable clothing. She unearthed a pair of black leggings and a mid-thigh floral dress. She grabbed a pair of light pink flats and her bag with necessities. She glanced at the crumpled death note and walked out the door. She skipped down the stairs and placed the shoes at the door. She walked back to the table and sat down. She realized most of their food was gone so she picked up the plates and immersed them into water. She looked over at Ren and asked the question he was running through his head as well:

"How are we getting there?" Ren thought for awhile.

"Well, we could ask the President." He stopped and thought. They both shook their heads at the image of Lory sending them a bright gold limousine complete with a TV and a mini army inside." I've always wanted to try the subway! Let's go!" Ren said excitedly while Kyoko shook her head furiously. Ren grabbed his belongings and called Yashiro while putting on his shoes.

"But, Ren, you will be spotted and we will NEVER be able to get to the shoot!" Kyoko shouted. He nodded and went to his car and grabbed his "disguise" which was only his hat and sunglasses.

"All good now! Let's go!" he said while pulling Kyoko's arm out the door. She knew she couldn't win against him so she just grabbed her purse and slipped on her shoes." Hey, Yashiro, my car broke down so we are taking the subway. We won't be spotted. We'll be fine. No you don't have to meet up with us. Bye, see you there." He closed the phone and smiled down at Kyoko." ALRIGHT LET'S GO!" he cheered while Kyoko was wondering on the scale of 1 to 10 on how bad of a decision this was. It was a 10.

They arrived at the station and Ren was already spotted.

"IT'S REN TSURUGA!" a fan shouted. In an instant, hundreds of heads turned and saw the mega-star. They all screamed and ran over while pushing Kyoko out the way.

"KYOKO!" he shouted. She got up and brushed her dress. She had Mio take over and approached them.

"Hey, everyone. You should move." Mio said with a smile. They all backed off due to the terrifying aura. Ren walked over to Kyoko.

"Mio, get out of Kyoko's body now." He whispered into her ear. Immediately, Kyoko came back and blushed like mad. She stuttered and ran off. Ren caught up with her in no time, thanks to his legs that seemed to be a mile long." Now, what line do we take?" he asked while looking up at the board that confused him. Kyoko searched and then had an ah face. She got out her wallet but Ren stopped her.

"What?" she asked. He brought out his in a flash.

"You saved me back her so I get to pay. Now, which line do we take?" he asked again with his gentlemanly smile. She cowered and pointed at the E line. Ren nodded and inserted the money. They grabbed their tickets while fans were taking photos of THE Ren Tsuruga and the mystery woman.

"Who's that girl with Ren?"

"She's sort of plain, isn't she?"

"They don't match at all!"

"Where's my girlfriend?"

"She gets to be so close to him! I bet you she blackmailed him or something!"

"Yeah, that sounds right! No way could a girl like her be next to him."

"Seriously, where is my girlfriend?"

Kyoko heard all of this and wanted to send her demons after all of them. Well, besides that one guy. Ren heard all of this two and wanted to shout that she was better than all of them. But he knew she wouldn't have wanted that sort of attention. He clenched his fists and Kyoko noticed. Is he that embarrassed of being near me?

"Do I embarrass you?" she asked quietly. Ren whipped his head over to her and stopped. She kept walking and noticed that someone wasn't next to her. She looked back and saw his face. He looked shocked then sad.

"Why would you ever think that?" he asked. Her eyes widened and she walked over to him. The fans tried to walk closer while the guy wandered aimlessly for his lost girlfriend who was in the sea of fans. Though, they could feel the unapproachable aura and stayed back.

"Well, you looked irritated." She said softly when she got to where he was. He looked down and shook his head.

"I'd never be irritated around you." He said. Scratch that, I would never be irritated around you but always around the guys that drool after you, which is about every guy that lays their eyes on you. She looked up with hopeful eyes.

"Really?" she asked. He nodded and then Kyoko saw the clock." OH MY GOSH, REN! WE'LL BE LATE AGAIN IF WE DON'T HURRY UP!" she shouted while grabbing his arm and dragged him along. He smiled while watching his dream girl panic cutely. They ran all the way to the train that was about to close its doors. They breathed hard and put their hands on their knees. Once they started breathing evenly, they looked at their surroundings. The people that were on the train were frozen. THE Ren Tsuruga was on the same train as them. Fans squealed while boyfriends groaned when they saw their girls' eyes turn into heart-shapes. Ren saw a seat open and motioned Kyoko over. She shook her head and motion that he should sit. He turned into the Emperor and walked even closer to her.

"You're rejecting your senpai's order?" he asked. She shook her head and sat down with a plop! The train ride was longer due to the squealing fans and countless flashes. Ren pulled out his phone and dialed Lory's number.

"Yeah?" Lory's voice asked with a slight mumble in his voice.

"Can you pick up my car from Kyoko's place? It broke down so we're on the train instead." He explained.

"Yeah, I know. There are pictures on the internet already. The headlines are, by the way, Mystery woman with Ren Tsuruga at the train station and Is Ren Tsuruga on a date with a mystery woman? And so on." Lory said with boredom. Ren's eyes widened while Kyoko looked up with a confused look. He mouthed tell you later and returned to his phone.

"So, um, will you get my car fixed?" he asked again with nervousness. Lory rolled his eyes and thought who does he think he's talking to?

"Well, duh." He said." Well, time to deal with some paparazzi calls. Have fun, Ren!" Lory hung up and sighed at the sight of 45 calls on hold. It's going to be a long, long, long day. Lory cracked his knuckles and started on his first call while Ren had his head hung down.

"What's wrong?" Kyoko asked innocently. He looked at her and gave a small smile.

"Some of our pictures are on the internet." He said while straightening his back. Her eyes widened with worry and surprise.

"ALREADY!" she shouted while startling some passengers. She gave a little jump and a small bow of apology." Already?" she asked again. He nodded and searched it up on the internet. And there they were. There were approximately about 55 website pages already up with their pictures. Normally Ren would be happy. It would be like telling Japan that Kyoko was his but he knew how Kyoko might be feeling. The unwanted attention was back at her. He showed her his phone and watched her eyes widened. Kyoko snatched the phone out his hands and scrolled down. She gave it back with a small sorry.

"You okay?" he asked. She nodded.

"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again." she apologized with a sigh.

"No, it's fine." He said.

"We will be arriving at K Station soon. Passengers that are getting off at this station; please grab all of your belongings and get ready to depart the train. Thank you for choosing our train as your transportation and have a nice day." The intercom announced. Kyoko grabbed her bag and got up. The train stopped suddenly and she started to fall. Ren grabbed her just in time and a dozen phones flashed. Kyoko got up and said a thank you and they hurried off of the train. They emerged off of the train and ran into hundreds of fans screaming Ren Tsuruga. They ran out of the station and sprinted to the school. Kyoko was glad she wore flats instead of heels. They arrived with 2 minutes before the appointed time. They walked to the portable and said a small goodbye and walked into their dressing room. Kana panicked at the sight of Kyoko's sweaty face and wiped off it off in a hurry then quickly started her makeup. The costume person quickly grabbed her first outfit which was her school uniform and laid it out and, by then, Kyoko's makeup and wig was done and she slipped into her costume. She did a twirl again and walked out. She hurried to the first scene which was only her in class thinking of Rui. They did a couple small scenes like that before a major one. It was placed in the nurse's office after Miya collapsed during PE.

Rui burst into the room and looked for her, quickly. He spotted her brown hair and practically ran over.

"Miya!" he shouted. Miya's eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Rui?"

"I am here." He assured while grabbing her hand. He saw how small she gotten. Miya couldn't keep her eyes open so she shut them.

"I know, I can feel you next to me. You feel so far though." She said and she coughed. What she coughed up was a surprise. It was blood. Rui's eyes widened.

"MIYA!" he exclaimed. The nurse and her parents burst into the room.

"What happened!" the nurse shouted.

"She coughed up blood! Help her!" Rui begged. The nurse moved him aside and checked her over. Her face paled and she looked at them.

"CALL 911! DO IT NOW!" she shouted. Aimi quickly dialed 911 while Eiji glared at Rui.

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT. IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE MIYA WORRY AND DEPRESSED, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG SHE STAYED UP WORRYING ABOUT YOU OR HOW MANY TIMES SHE SKIPPED HER MEALS! DO YOU!" he screamed.

"DAD!" Miya shouted which startled all of them. Rui rushed to her side and held her hand." Don't blame Rui! It's my fault that I wasn't watching my health." She coughed up blood again and could barely breathe.

"The ambulance will be here in a couple minutes! Hang in there, sweetie." Aimi said while rushing to her daughter's side and clutched Miya's other hand.

"I'm fine, Mom. Don't worry about me." Miya whispered while turning her head over to, not her mother or her father, Rui. She mouthed I love you. Rui let a tear escape and leaned to her ear.

"I love you." He whispered. She smiled and fell asleep.

"MIYA!" Aimi screamed. The ambulance people rushed in and put Miya on a stretcher.

"She's asleep, not dead." The paramedic said. He thought: not for long though. They rushed her to the ambulance.

"Take me with you!" Rui shouted and climbed into the ambulance to sit next to Miya.

"Stay close." Miya whispered in her sleep.

"Of course, love." Rui whispered and a smile appeared on Miya's angelic face.

There was a ton of tears and sobs. Kyoko got off of the stretcher and bowed. Everyone rushed to them and praised them. The jealous extras clenched their fists and cursed. The men were swept off of their feet by Kyoko. Where could you find a cute girl that could act like that and be so polite and sweet? They would've already confessed to her but Ren smiled with icy eyes and they backed off. They reviewed their work and Ryuu approved.

"Well, let's take a lunch break!" Ryuu hollered. Everyone cheered and grabbed one of the bentos that were on the lunch table. Ren grabbed two and motioned her over. They ate and laughed. Yashiro already told them that he was going to eat with Ryuu but didn't really. He was actually behind the potted plant and video recorded to send to the President and maybe Kanae. The thought of Kanae made him blush. He finally finished blushing and noticed that Kyoko had excused herself to go to the bathroom. Ren got up and also said he had to go to the bathroom. Kyoko quickly went back to where they were eating and threw away their bentos while Ren already was in the bathroom. She timed it perfectly so that Ren wouldn't try to stop her. She walked over to the stairs and heard fast footsteps. Thinking it was Yashiro, she stopped and turned around. She turned around in time to see a deranged fan. She was, also, pushed down the cursed stairs.

"KYOKO!"
