Skip Beat! Not mine…
Here I am! ^^, I am trying to update at least two per day but I discovered that it is hard…yet…I'll still do my best!
Cornered
Without any particular reason, the shady corner near the staircase gave Kyoko the bit of comfort she was searching for. As if there were no people walking around and passing by. Not knowing as well that Ren already is solving the puzzle, piece by piece.
Jet-black hair, I'm sure that was Kyoko Mogami before…Shotaro Fuwa…is Shou. They have been acting strange, not fighting a bit. They knew the girl from the past, I'm sure of it now. Ren cupped his chin, staring at a distant as he climbed the steps with Yashiro, until he saw Kyoko at a corner.
"Yashiro, please go ahead."
The request stunned Yashiro to silence, then to a smile. He slowly walked upstairs.
The young actor sat beside the orange-haired girl who was still spacing-out and had not even noticed him. "I'm starting to think that you're ignoring me, Mogami-san," Ren said, smiling radiantly at her.
Kyoko jerked. A kind of tintinnabulation woke Kyoko from her thoughts. "Ye-yes?" she asked as she turned. And only surprise met her on the way down as she saw Tsuruga Ren's king of the night smile, "I'm sorry, Tsuruga-san."
Ren lightly ruffled her hair as if she was a little child in need of comfort. "Its okay, Kyoko-san. You know, let's just do our jobs without any bothers, okay?" please, Kyoko…just tell me the problem; I'm willing to listen and help you. I beg you.
Nooo! A shout emerged in Kyoko's mind; Tsuruga-san now thinks that I am being completely irrational and unprofessional! "Un," Kyoko gave a short nod despite how freaked-out she really was. She smiled her determined smile back at her senior. Without any fail I should accomplish my tasks this day! She thought.

The room was filled with people, and Kyoko knew only a few while Tsuruga was greeting back most.
Kotonami was there and at least, Kyoko felt a little comfort.
"Did you read the script already, Kyoko?" her best friend and acting enemy asked the orange-haired.
"Un." Kyoko's slow nods gave the black-haired a strange feeling.
"You are going to flirt with Fuwa Shou in some parts," Kanae hit her senses with a sledgehammer realization.
Her orange-haired best friend squealed, "whaaat?" her eyes as wide as an owl's.
Kanae wanted the floor to open up and swallow her to he core of the Earth. All of the people inside that very room were now staring at the both of them. She turned to Kyoko with a grunt. "I-I thought you read the script already?" if that wasn't the problem, then what is?
Kyoko nodded quickly. "Yes, I did! Maybe…I just didn't pay attention to it?"
The older woman beside Kyoko sighed, "really?" she muttered.
Kyoko bowed an apology to the people for public disturbance.
By the time people have forgotten Kyoko's disturbance already, Shoko came in to announce that the rock star would be late but the door opened. The huge lam was followed by stares. Shou entered the room with his bangs tied above his forehead, still in his blue off-shoulder sweater and dark jeans. He was even in sneakers, panting and sweating.
Most of the girls made a fan girl scream. Their eyes became heart shapes that actually looked like they were pounding…beating.
So that's how Fuwa Shou looks like in daily life without cameras and make-ups, Kanae thought, cupping her chin as she scrutinized Shou.
All the pink hearts shattered to thousand of small pieces when the singer called, "Kyoko!"
Kyoko jerked in shock and who her eyes found was Shou.
"Kyo...Kyoko," he repeated, only much sogfter. Females glared at the young actress, unsurprisingly, as well as Ren.
"Haru's interview," Shou shouted. People stared back and forth.
Ren loudly chuckled. "How can we forget Kagura-san's interview?"
The large television switched to life.

"Why did you what to be in the show business?"
The brunette smiled at the interviewer. "Because…this is the only way to find Shotaro-kun," her blush was very obvious.
"Really? Can you tell me who that person is?"
"He's someone really SPECIAL," the darkness in her tone was spilling, revealing that she was an amateur n the field of acting but there was a certain honesty in her voice, as if wafting to the audience's senses.
The crowd screamed fan-style.
"Well, there's another reason. You can say that I am trying to be heroic but…there's this person who's really dear to me. And, he's been in comatose state for years and I want to take the chance in the city using my salary," she paused o smile, rather…grin, "Do you hear me, SHO-TA-RO?" she lipped.
Kyoko who was laughing with the rest of the crowd stood frozen on her ground, not until Shou ran to her and grabbed her arm harshly. He pulled her outside…to somewhere clearer.
"Shou!" Kyoko called, shacking her arm off the singer's grip. "STOP PULLING ME DOWN WITH YOU!" she exploded.
The singer's eyes bulged. He was frozen.
"Please," Kyoko whimpered, "you left me. Now set me free!" Kyoko turned around and left him…
