I don't own skip beat, it belongs to Nakumore-Sensei.
This story is six months after the events of the current manga.
Chapter one:new offer.
Kyoko came home after filming her last movie a little late... She took off her shoes and calling "I am at home ..".
"Hi Kyoko-chan..how are you, are you hungry?" Okami greeted her at the door.
"No, she ate at a party tonight." she answered. I followed her inside. It was getting a late so there were only a few customers.
"Oh...tonight was the last shooting of the movie, right? I'm so excited to see it." Okami asked excitedly her.
"Yeah… we finished but it wasn't announced until February." I told her she was happy because they were always watching her work.
"Are you exhausted?" Okami asked after seeing her yawn behind her hand.
"Not much, I can help out at the restaurant.".
"Mn. No Kyoko-chan, not today. Okami said as she pushed her toward the stairs. "It's too late and there aren't many customers in the restaurant anymore. Go take a shower and go to sleep."
"But." She tried to protest, but Okami looked at her with a look that did not accept any protest. "Well good night." She said and went up the stairs to her room. She showered, changed her clothes, and lay down on her futon. She closed her eyes but heard a sound and looked around, her phone was vibrating in her bag, she reached out and took it out and looked at him, the president was calling her, why did he call her so late?As soon as she answered I heard him screaming.
"Mogami-kun, I've been calling you since eight o'clock." The president shrieked with a frown on his face.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the party ended late and the phone was on silent so I didn't hear it.".
"Oh, tonight was your closing party, how was it?" He asked even though he knows everything from Ruto
"it was good"..
His answer, but not with the enthusiasm he expected, well, he knew the problem and the reason for her lack of enthusiasm and here he tries to offer the solution, "Mogami-kun I have a new offer for you, and this will make you very happy.".
"Really, sir, what's the offer?" She inquired and did not like the tone of his voice. He was planning something when he spoke in that tone.
"Do you remember the director you met before filming the climax scene from Momiji?".
"Yes". Then I thought about how the president learned of their meeting. Well, he's the boss after all if he didn't know this would be even weirder, then I continued, "Isn't he one of the directors of the road project that Moko-san filmed and_" She was silent for a moment, I think of Ren, then she said wistfully, "And Tsuruga-san, what about him?".
The chief heard her hesitation before uttering Ren's name, and those idiots thought how long they'd be like cat and mouse, well, we'll see if they can resist now that he's got his tight plan with Kuu. "Yeah, he has a new project and he wants you to play the title role".
"Really, sir." She answered and jumped excitedly, and a jingle was heard from her side.
"Yes, it is an international project that will be shot in America, do you agree?". The line was so silent that he had to push it away from his ears to see if the call had stopped, but it was still there, "Mogami-kun?".
"Yes sir, I'm still here, hmmm. Do you know who the hero of this movie is?" She inquired and closed her eyes hoping it wasn't him, and at the same moment she wished it was him.
"I don't know, that wasn't specified." . This wasn't a lie per se, because Ren still didn't he agree yet,And He knew who she was referring to and who she was inquiring about, but he did not tell her and spoiled his plans to bring them together. "Do you agree? ".
"Yes sir ". Well, she answered, America was larg, and perhaps she was very fortunate that their ways did not collide, but she very much wanted to see him.
"Good. Roto will be there tomorrow evening to take you to the airport.".
"It's so fast?". I asked in shock. She just finished shooting her movie today.
"Yes, shooting didn't start until two weeks later, but someone asked to see you before shooting the movie." The chief replied with an evil smile, even though she didn't see his face.
"But sir." She tried to protest, how does he send her to meet someone she didn't even know.
"Don't worry. It's not dangerous, I promise you will be happy with this trip, goodbye and safe trip." Then turn off the phone before you protest more.
"my sir". I called but the line was cut off, I tried to call him again but he was busy, I sighed heavily and put her head on the pillow. Who was this person who asked to see her,She didn't know anyone there except for Tsuruga-san and Muko-san, but she came back two days before, from her project, and it was impossible for Tsuruga-san to do that after she asked him not to talk to her since that night. So,Who is he?, (I forgot that Kuu, treating her like his daughter, and that he might have asked to see her. ).She put her hand to her forehead, closed her eyes, and thought, It's been six months since what happened that night. You haven't seen or heard anything from him. He did what I asked him to, but why did he have to stick to her decision so much, he didn't even try to call her or leave a message, another sigh came out of her mouth as she thought about the events of what happened that night, he called her because he wanted to tell her something important before a week of his trip. After they had eaten and washed the dishes, she sat down on the sofa in front of him, waiting for him to speak, but he remained silent for a long time.
"Tsuruga-san, are you okay?" I looked at him. He looked a little worried. What was going on with him? Does he want to renege on his promise and return the corn stone to me? She thought to herself.
"oh, yeah, I'm fine." He paused for a moment, looked down nervously, then spoke again, "Mogami-san, I'm sorry I kept this from you... I wanted to tell you, but I didn't have the courage."
"Just tell me everything will be fine." She asked that she didn't like how nervous and fidgety he was, Tsuruga-san was her teacher, why did he look so weak?
Come be brave Kuon. don't be a chicken, you have to tell her before you get ahead in your relationship with her, he took a deep breath, raised his head and looked her in the eyes and said.
"Mogami-san, Do you remember the kid you met at the river when you were six years old?".
"Of course, he was my imaginary friend at the time, and I met him again in Guam, as I told you." She replied, What does their conversation have to do with her fairy prince?.
"Hmmm. That was me." . Ren said and he looked away from her.
"what?" She blinked her eyes at him, and quickly got up.
He glanced back at her, "I'm sorry but that's the truth, fairies don't exist. It's something I made just to make you happy when you were crying. No, actually my name isn't corn an-"..
I interrupted him before he could continue, "You're lying, corn is the Prince of the Fairies. I saw him in Guam and he's grown up to be a great king, he even flew off the balcony in front of me." She spoke while pointing her finger at him. He believed her on Guam, why now he tells her there are no fairies, he even says they were the same person "It's true that corn looked like you but corn had blonde hair and emerald green eyes". Now she was blushing as she remembered why corn had taken the form of Ren at that time.
"This was because it was my true form." Ren replied that it seemed more difficult to convince her that fairies did not exist than the truth of his real name. Why didn't he start telling her his name first?.
" what do you mean?". She asked, tilting her head at him in confusion.
"Hmmm, look." He raised his hand, took off his wig, and placed it beside him. He didn't have jobs that contained a great deal of movement, so he dyed it a week before he traveled to America, then reached out, took off his lens, and put it back in the box.
She looked at him in shock, "That can't be true." She put her hands over her mouth, trying to hold back the tears. And she shook her head in denial, "It's impossible, not you either."
He got up and walked toward her, "Kyoko-chan, let me explain to you first."
"Don't call me that, it's Mogami-san for you." She said tears rolled down her cheeks. How did this happen, would she be deceived all her life by the people close to her Well, I knew the answer. "It all happened because of me, I'm such a stupid and naive girl, it was easy to manipulate me and laugh at his. wasn't it? " She was crying so hard now.
"Mogami-san, please." He walked towards her to she calm her down, but she avoided him. She broke his heart because all her tears were now because of him. Idiot, she didn't forgive you or talk to you anymore, he tried to approach her again. but she avoided it. and started collecting her things, to get out of the apartment. " Mogami-san.". He called her but she didn't answer, and she kept walking. He ran after her and grabbed her hand, but she pulled her away from him as if a lightning bolt had struck's her.
"Don't talk to me and don't call me anymore." . She warned, and did not look at him, even. then ran away from the apartment.
The sound of thunder and rain outside took her out of her imagination, she got up and ran towards the balcony, opened the window and stood there, raindrops fell on her face and mixed with her tears, why? she still asks herself over and over . Why did he do that? I understood very well that he wanted to make a name for himself and fly freely away from his father's fame. (Hmm, I found out his real name later, when I gathered the facts.) And because hey too I wanted to do it and he was one of the people who knew her dream, I understood his reasons for hiding his real name, especially after I watched his suffering during Katsuki, But corn was something special between them. so why did he hide it from her? , she closed the window and went inside, dried her face with a towel and went to sleep, tomorrow She had a long flight, and she had to get up early. She took out the corn doll she had made and hugged her "I miss you so much Kuon". And I immediately slept.
in America
Ren was in his room preparing for his next scene, suddenly, his heart contracted hard and he felt a tightness in his chest, as if a heavy mass had been placed on his chest. He sat and held his chest a little.
"Ren. what's wrong with you?" He heard Yashiro interrogating him anxiously
"Hmmm, I don't know, all of a sudden I feel like I'm suffocating, and I can't breathe."
"Hmmm, did you know that means someone misses you?" Yashiro said looking at him. He had noticed Ren's behavior during these months and how withdrawn he was, like when he first met him but this time there was a deeper sadness in his eyes. What happened to him since that night? Until he shut himself down. He had heard that he had a meeting that night with Kyoko-chan, and it was looking good between them since the necklace incident, they even looked a little closer than before, but since that night everything changed, he didn't hear anything from Kyoko-chan, he tried to bring them together In the same place more than once, but the girl seemed to know and was clearly avoiding them.
"Don't talk nonsense, Yashiro-san.". Ren said he got up, walked over to the woman to straighten his hair and tie his neck, with an idea in his head. He knew his manager's obsession with collects them together . but, could that be true? He did not believe in such superstitions. However, if this is true, and she really misses him, it means that he still has a chance, to forgive him, to connect with him again. and he will keep that chance this time and work hard to win her heart again, it took the first time a year and a half to win her heart … Now even if it takes his whole life, he will work hard to make it happen.
"Well, don't believe me, but I'm sure of that." Yashiro said with an evil smile on his face
"Hmmm, I'm done, can we go now?". He knew, what he's thinking?, but he didn't give him a chance to bother him anymore..
"Yes". He got up and grabbed his papers and documents and they went out to complete his scenes. All they're left here are today's scenes and some shots tomorrow in the morning, thus wrapping up Ren's first international project.
I hope are enjoy, see you later.
