I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
"...Thank you, Light... for that introduction" The director said, as more than a few people in the room stared at him. "Now, the next person"
The next person seemed to snap out of it and went to introduce themselves.
Half an hour later, they had all introduced themselves and Light was free to stop writing down names.
"Since, it's our first day." The Director said. "The actors need to get to know each other and get the feel of the script, while those outside, need to make sure that we have a vision of what each of us are doing, so that when we do actually start film, we are prepared"
Then somebody started handing out the scripts, having seen all of their pictures, Light got one too.
Light tried not to think about 'that woman' acting alongside with him and instead focused on the other female actress that had more minor parts.
Maybe he should call her 'Mogami-zillia' or something in his head.
"Hello" He said as soon as people began to leave to do their own thing.
He suddenly appeared beside a shocked woman who was barely older then he was.
"Your Yashui, right?" He said, with a smile. "I look forward to working with you. How about we exchanged Phone numbers?"
FAST!
Everybody who saw and heard that were shocked.
How could he be so straight forward and shameless when he was supposed to be working!?
However, a bunch of guys were also jealous as well since he could ask a female for her number so easily.
Both Kuu and Julie looked very shocked at what was happening right in front of them.
Kyoko did not look impressed.
Neither did the female.
"Light, right?" She said. "Shouldn't we be trying to memorise the script, right now?" She had no interest in giving him her phone number.
"That is true, but then why are you giving me your phone number" Light said, with a smile.
Yashui looked down and was shocked to find her phone was out and it was on the 'About Phones' page.
When did she?
"So that's the phone number" Light said, looking.
She blushed.
Ch 10: Interesting things about Light.
Kyoko looked unimpressed at the person who had a face that greatly resembling Koun's.
Why was he even allowed to be here if he was just going to flirt with girls?
Could he even act?
Should she call her manager to opted out of this show, since her co-worker would drag her down with him?
"Okay, let's read this!" Light said after getting all the females except for Kyoko phone number.
He didn't know that Kyoko opinion of him was now Zero, nor did he care.
Kuu and Julie were honestly too shocked to say anything.
They had never seen somebody who looked so much like their son openly flirt in front of them and disregard the work he needed to do.
Light opened the script finally after an hour and they were all surprised to see him exactly begin to read it.
Read it seriously, that is.
It almost saved his image.
Almost.
And then he seemed to get bored quickly and took out a pair of headphone and placed them in both of his ears and started reading while also listening to music.
Kyoko was surprised and so were those watching him.
It wasn't a secret that Koun did not listen to music regularly but Light was clearly listening music, right now.
And wait.
What he flipping through the pages?
Everybody who watched him was stunned when his eyes switched from side to side without rest while his fingers flipped through the pages.
Was he really reading it?
Was he so kind of machine?
10 minutes of none-stop reading, he finally got to the end of the script and took a breather.
"Done. Good script" He said.
What?
Done!?
Are you SURE!?
Everybody wanted to know, was he just playing around?
"Yashui, test me" Light said to the women who had just read to page 3. "The information doesn't stick unless somebody test's me"
That was a very interesting information about him, that he let slip.
"Fine" She said, picking a random page, she know everybody had a different method to memorising. "Your 'Matt', right? What does he say on page 8, line 3 of his line's, on the page?"
Of course, nobody in the room believed he could do it.
However, it didn't stop people from being interested.
"You Bastard" Suddenly Light mood changed into a completely different person. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER!?" He yelled.
Everybody was shocked, where did this acting ability came from!?
Light returned back to himself.
"Test me again" He said.
It must have been through sheer will power that Yashui did not outright stare at him, like everybody else.
"u-Ur, line 6 of page 12" She said.
"Your right." Light said, once again turned into a different person, his eyes showed the emotion of hurting. "But she's got to be okay. She just has to be"
Through out of this, eyes widened when they saw a faceless figure overlapping Light.
The figure had no face but it looked like...
"Koun?" Kyoko was suddenly up.
"Huh?" Light said, his eyes clearly confused.
The figure vanished, like it hadn't been there in the first place.
"Nothing" She said, she was starting to hallucinate and got up and went to get some water.
However, she wasn't the only one shaken up as well, Kuu and Julie felt like they had somehow come in contact with their child for the first time since his death.
It was a very cruel hallucination.
However, could they still call it hallucination when they saw it every time Light tried to act seriously?
Was Light being haunted by the ghost of Koun Hizuri?
Those who know the star personally thought.
Or did he appear so much like Koun when he was acting that people would hallucinate it?
Who was Light to be able to resemble an A class star so much in the field he was most know for?
Light did not strike anybody as the type to sit in a dark room for years just watching old shows with Koun Hizuri in them.
Could he be Koun own child that even Koun himself did not even know he had?
Koun would never cheat on Kyoko or any of his girlfriends of the past, due to growing up with gentleman morals.
But at the same time, why did Light refuse to give anybody his last name?
But he looked so young.
How old was Light anyway?
Yashiro, his manager came for him at the end of the day and wanted to ask what the hell happened seeing many people outright stare at Light.
When he asked, Light proudly stated that he shocked everybody with his amazing acting skills.
Now all Yashiro had to do was contact some ladies, like he had promised.
Light delighted in reminding him of that.
Several days later, everybody had gotten used to Light's presence in the studio and they were even talking about doing practise with a real scene.
Who know that, that day would become a special one?
Light and those in the studio wondered what the hell was happening when they all heard the sound of dozens of screaming fan women.
What was more alarming was the sound of screaming fan women were getting closer!?
Light was shocked when he was suddenly behind his manger and Yashiro looked like he was ready to brace for impact.
What was going on!?
And then the person that caused all the noise walked through the door.
It was a man who was shorter then Light, but was a lot older, he had really short blond hair, a shaven chin and wore black shades as if it was too bright inside.
He was dressed in high quality fashion clothes.
He was Sho Fuwa and right beside him was the women who had stuck beside him in the past 20 years.
Shoko Aki.
Behind him was a herd of screaming fan women that security, through a miracle, managed to block off.
"Sho, what are you doing here?" Kyoko said, after 20 years she wasn't screaming bloody murder every time she saw him and they had reached a 'mutual' understanding between them which was strained when Sho confessed to her, a year after Koun death.
Sho took of his shades, to show he was indeed the Japanese music legend Sho Fuwa.
A lot of people in the room were shocked, even though it was common knowledge now, that Kyoko and Sho did in fact know each other in childhood.
But it still didn't make it less weird.
"I just wanted to drop by since I'll be doing the music for the show" Sho said, not telling her that he was the one who approached the director once he found out Kyoko would be on the show.
Suddenly, Sho sensed an oppressive stare and had to turn his head, and who he saw next made him speechless.
Everybody, who was staring at the famous Musician in the room also went to see what he was looking at.
Sho was looking at Light and Light was staring at Sho.
This guy looks like that guy! Sho thought, with the white hair and eyes, Koun Hizuri could have risen from the grave.
Meanwhile Light had an unreadable expression on his face.
Light? Yashiro thought and he wasn't the only one.
Nobody know what was going on his mind.
#8 years ago#
"My dear brother, it's time for you to sit down and listen to your big sister" A 16-year-old Mai said, in her school uniform, she had her hair in a pony tail.
Around them were other Orphanage kids who were wondering what on earth was going on.
A 11-year-old Light, who was in a blue shirt and jeans sat on the bed assigned to him.
"One day, you will meet somebody who you will hate at first sight" She said, "And you will make this expression unconsciously." Her eyebrows scrunched up and the tips of her mouth drooped.
"You mean that face you something have on when you pick me up, with?" Light said.
Mai coughed and said. "Yes, that face. It's something that I can't control and mom had that expression on, whenever she met a man who did not respect the ring on their finger."
"But what makes you so sure that I'll have it?" Light said, he didn't like a lot of people and that never happened to him.
"It's a 50/50 chance" Mai said, making him sweat drop. "There are just some people who you'll absolutely loath before they even open their mouth. So be on the look out and make sure that person is a bad person. Then you'll have no problems being terrible to that person. I sadly become a complete different person when I address that person."
And Light sweat dropped, now that he thought about it, whenever his sister talked to a certain guy, her friends would always bring him somewhere else.
Just how bad was it?
#End of Flashback#
Light eyebrow started to curl and the edge of his mouth started to droop.
Everybody in the room wondered what the hell was that expression, that suddenly graced his face.
Light felt the need to introduce himself to the musician and said. "Hi, my name is Light. Nice to meet you, you bastard"
.
.
.
Silence.
What?
Everybody eyes were wide including Sho own.
Light!? Kyoko, Kuu, Julie and Yashiro all thought.
Sho opened was wide open.
"If I had a car. I would run you over" Light said.
NANI!?
People looked ready to faint.
"What did I do to you?" Sho said.
"You existed, asshole! If it was up to me, I'll tear you limb from limb" Light said and Yashiro was thankfully there to drag him away, however, it did not stop him from out-right glaring at the musician as he was dragged.
When Light could not see Sho, because he had been dragged to male's toilets, he collapsed from guilt and just wanted to die from shame.
"Oh, god. She was right" He said, much to the confusion of those around him.
Yashiro was so confused right now.
Light splashed water on his face, trying to calm himself down.
He felt the urge to leap at the man and tear him apart.
The water thankfully worked in calming him down.
Kuu came in, to see what was happening.
"Light, what happened?" Yashiro said.
"Yashiro-san. I can't go back out there" Light said, shocking Yashiro and Kuu. "It's a family thing. If I see that guy again, I could drop kick the guy."
Of all things to inherit from his mother, it had to be that.
He did not know that the hate, came from his past life which Koun was too gentlemanly to full express.
And scene!
