-1Hi! Sorry, I know its been a while, but I have excuses.. and news! My laptop's harddrive died and erased my files... So I had to wait and get the new one shipped, but the new one was wrong, so I had it shipped again. That's the excuse. The news is that, this is the second to last chapter! I KNOW! YOU'RE SHOCKED! This is nawt the end of Kirei Tokoishi. I will continue to make fanfics after this! Sooner than you think!
Disclaimer: I would have never thought of Skip Beat's plot. So obviously, I don't own skip beat. Nor do I have the genius or skill to create such a work of art.
Switch Beat!
Chapter 13 - Time to unwind
Kyoko felt like a proud mother watching her big ol' child go to school for the first day. Yore was back in his correct age... thanks to Kyoko's fast teaching. It's been 3 weeks since that phone call and Kyoko tried to put all her thoughts into teaching Yore, which resulted in overdosed Knowledge in Yore's poor brain. Ever since Yore was realized from the hospital, Kyoko's been coming over his house (a request from his mom) everyday to shove things in his head. But when she says her goodbyes each day and takes her first step out the door, her mind quickly floods with guilt, confusion and all the wonderful things her sempai has done for her. Kyoko smiled at Yore while they were walking out the door.
"Kyoko...What's wrong?" Yore asked, as if he'd been dying to ask.
Kyoko's eyes widened. Kyoko was now "Tomoko". She knew she shouldn't be surprised he figured out because of what happened before, but Yore no longer had feelings for her... right?
"I'm fine.." Kyoko started to say, but she stopped when she noticed Yore shaking his head.
"No you're not. You haven't been ever since you and Onee-chan switched. Your eyes are lonely."
"How do you know I'm me?"
"Because your presence is different. Your aura. Tomoko makes me feel (stops to blush) kinda..well...different."
"You like her?"
"No.. I think its more than that."
It got silent, but Yore brought the conversation back up.
"You must really miss Nobou-kun...The look in your eyes say it all."
"W-what are you talking about? I just saw him the other day."
"The other day equals 3 whole weeks?"
"Well, that's a little longer that a couple of days but..."
"Do you think about him a lot?"
"Why do you think I miss him so much?"
"Because you two are super bestest (lol) buddies!"
"Moko-san is me super bestest buddy!"
"Oh! So he must be you love interest!"
"N-no!"
Yore pulled out a mirror and showed Kyoko what she looked like. She was equivalent to a tomato. Kyoko never seen herself get so red before, even for Sho. Even though she put up a fight, she still lost to love and now she felt like going back. And all that takes is a huge rooster suit. Kyoko ran back into Tomoko's house, grabbed her bike, and did what she did best. (Scare the crap out of people on the road. Joking!) push toward her next goal.

Kanae was lost. She had no clue where she was. She drove around the woodsy place, hoping to spot a building. She had thought joyriding was the perfect thing to do on a boring Monday morning, but she had strangled those those thoughts when she found herself surrounded by trees.
She drove a little further in and , to her luck, she found a building... which had parked cars. She smiled and drove there in full speed. When she finally got in, a guard came up to her and blocked her way.
"Do you have business here?" The guard said, looking mean and frightful.
"what's it to you? Kanae said, looking equally as scary.
"You can't enter without proper invitation."
Kanae didn't know what to do. She needed shelter for awhile and she couldn't get it. She was about to lose all hope until she heard a familiar voice say:
"Mi Lady?"
It was Sho, who was walking towards her. The guard instantly bowed apologetically and walked off. Kanae was just as shocked as Sho.
"What are u doing here in Woodstick?" He asked.
"I got lost..."
"You are not a legal driver, are you?"
"no."
Sho laughed and pulled out his guitar.
"Perfect timing. You get to hear me practice." He said, grinning. Then he started to sing.
this girl's whose eyes are gold like honey,
is my enemy's best buddy,
she's lost joyriding it's pretty funny,
I ain't lending her no money...
Kanae hit him with a rolled up magazine.
"Shut up! you just came up with that!" She said laughing.
"Ain't I'm a genius?" Sho said, smiling.
"Yea. You are. Even though Kyoko wont admit it, she thinks so too."
The two stared at each other for a while.
Shouko witnessed all of this. She thought:
That flirt. He has on his "say you like me!" face. Maybe... He couldn't! Not that fast!
"S-SHO? HOW DO OU FEEL ABOUT KYOKO?!" Shouko blurted out involuntarily. Sho turned around and gave her a seriously confused face.
"Who is Kyoko?" He said, very confused. It took him a while, but he came back to his senses.
"Oh. I don't know... She's crazy? I guess?" He said finally. Shouko already said this much, so she decided to go even further.
"You've gotten over Kyoko, huh? Who are you thinking about now?" She asked. Kanae hated this feeling of jealousy and fear. She did not want to hear the answer to the question, because any answer was bad. She's too busy and dedicated to love, and (even though she hates to admit this)She couldn't stand having him like someone else. Even Kyoko.
"Are you okay Shouko? " Sho asked, looking at her like she was crazy. Shouko just walked off.
"Uh... this must be too much to ask... but can you help me find a way out?" Kanae said suddenly.
"Yep, where to?"
"Do you know the studio Kyoko filming her drama at?"
"Unfortunately"
"Can you take me there? I got to give the car back."
"I'm going to see the jerk?"
"Who?"
"forget it. I'll direct you. Just don't kill me. I still got lots songs for my public."
Kanae laughed and they both left the studio.
The song producers-
Hey?! Where's Sho!?
ooo
Ren has been giving Director Ogata a death glare everyday since the beginning of filming. Director was getting a bit concerned, so he pulled Tomoko aside to find out what was going on.
"I don't know. Just ask him." Tomoko said, shrugging her shoulders. Director Ogata stared at her until she got the message.
"Okay, I'll ask him for you." She said. She walked over to Ren and just sat down.
"Okay. Why do you keep staring at Director like that?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"You keep glaring at him. He feels quite uncomfortable. That's what he said."
"I don't mean to, it just that compared to all my projects, my hardest is always directed by him. Like some sort of curse."
"Why is this your hardest?"
What was he going to say? 'Because I have to kiss a girl I'm falling in and out of love with, and I just might mess up our relationship.'? NO WAY! He had to say something...
"It's because I don't have my...CHICKEN?"
"If you was hungry, you should have said so!"
"NO! Giant rooster! Bo!"
Tomoko turned her head to find Bo, just standing there. Ren was pretty happy to see the mascot, and he didn't know why. The rooster just lifted the heavy cloud of loneliness out his heart.
"What's up buddy?" Bo said.
"Who are you?" Ren answered.
"I'm Bo..."
"But there is someone inside. Tell me who you are." Ren's voice got more demanding.
"Okay you guys! Let's start the easiest scene to film. The kiss." Director said.
Kyoko felt the alarm in the pit of her stomach. She had come here to stop this, but she convinced herself it was just for a drama. She could handle this.. right?
"Take 1! Action!" Director Ogata signaled.
" I don't know if I can run away from you anymore. Hiro... I love you!" Tomoko said, getting closer. Kyoko winked.
"I love you too." (Kyoko winced again.) "I loved you" (and again) "ever since I saw you Ruhina."
"So don't run. Stay with me and receive my love." (and again.) "Don't ever leave my side!" (and once more)
They leaned in so close, a finger could not pass between them. Something snapped inside Kyoko, sending her sense away, and her instinct active.
"OKAY! TOMOKO! I GET IT! I do. You was right!" Kyoko yelled, directly at her sister.
"Kyoko! Wait! oops..." Tomoko said, covering her mouth. Yashiro shook his head in sympathy
for the twins.
"Kyoko? Tomoko? Who are you?" Ren asked, in a completely confused tone. The twins had no chance to get out of this one.
ooo
