AN: I really wanted to write this and it's not like I have too many Skip Beat fics 😉 so, after seeing how many I had updated on the first page of the category, I've decided to update a little slower or less often. However, because of all of your support, I will promise to try to write a new chapter of The Little Prince every Monday. Well, I hope you enjoy this Kyoko-centric fic.

Chapter One – The Change

"You weren't aware that you were cursed, were you?" Reino asked as Kyoko looked around the room, she could see her veins from underneath her skin and she felt afraid at how they were red instead of blue. Wasn't unoxidized blood supposed to show as blue? Kyoko wrapped an arm around herself as if she was choking and she turned around before falling to the floor.

Her hair had changed to a deep black and was growing longer and she had a dark red and black dress with corset on. What was happening to her?

"You didn't believe me, did you?" Reino asked as Kyoko glared at him, pain shooting through her body. Reino smiled as the grudges seemed to come out as if living beings. Kyoko had felt angry because of something idiotic that Shou had said about Ren but now things weren't going away. She was stuck in this nightmare.

"Stop it!" she yelled as the pain turned inward and Kyoko felt the windows shatter around her and it felt like the walls were getting ripped apart. Kyoko felt everything around her turn darker and she could hear bells…so many bells. She wrapped her arms around herself as the world seemed to turn colder and she felt alone.

Why wasn't this darkness leaving her like it did most times?

She usually didn't live within the darkness, she usually was happy and her grudges respected her but now it seemed so different. She felt pain. As she reached out, she felt a sharp pain in her hand and as she touched the ground, black flowers appeared. She shook her head nervously wanting to crawl into a pit.

Reino looked at her, "I'll be waiting," he told her knowing that only one man at the agency had the power to even live after touching her. As he left the office, a few other people were alerted including Sawara. The head of the talent section looked in the room. There was a strange girl but more than that it was as if she were sitting in a fog that wouldn't leave the room it was in. He tried to take a step in before feeling cuts appear on his arms and pulled back.

"Whoever you are! Stop this now or we'll be forced to call the police!" he yelled out and Kyoko felt her voice was taken from her. She reached out to him and a purple energy came from her hand as the doorframe seemed to warp.

I'm sorry, Kyoko sobbed unsure of what she was doing, I'm so sorry. I can't stop it. Please, if there is anyone out there, please help. I'm sorry, she whispered.

Ren was walking along after finishing a meeting with the president. He had been asked to talk about where he wanted his next point of his career to lead and he had mixed thoughts about it. He had never loved anyone as he did Kyoko, but his dream was still to work in America outside of his father's shadow. It was at this point that he was listening to a few girls talk whilst searching for where Yashiro was planning on meeting him.

"I don't know what happened, it's scary. It's as if there's this…this creature…she's one of those possessed girls out of horror films."

"Did you see anything else? Did anyone?" the second girl asked.

"The only thing that anyone is sure of is that the last person in that room was Love Me member number one," Ren looked at them in shock as they said this, "but I don't know if she summoned her or…"

"Love Me member number one?" Ren asked them, his voice in a look of horror. What was happening to Kyoko? He saw the girls nod and looked at them with a very serious expression. "Where was the room? Do you remember the office number?" he asked.

The first girl nodded and told him, "Why do you -" she started but Ren had already bolted off in the direction of the room.

When he arrived, he could sense the negative energy that was on the inside of the room and stepped in. He felt cold and weak but he could still move forward in a way that nobody else could, including the president who was looking on in horror. Kuon saw the young woman with her arms around her at the side of the room. He recognized the hair and the eyes, he recognized her.

"Mogami-san?" he asked as he stepped in front of her. He came to her level quickly, "Mogami-san, is that you?" he reached out to her but Kyoko looked at him and Ren tried to smile in a comforting manner despite how his body felt like it was slowly ripping apart.

"Tsuruga-san," she whispered. "I don't know what's happening, I…I didn't mean…" Ren pulled her into his arms to try to keep her safe. However, as her skin touched his, the pain was almost unbearable and Ren bit his top lip. She needed comfort right now and he would give her his all. Until he collapsed, he would make every attempt to help her.

"I know, I know, this isn't you, Mogami-san. You wouldn't do this," he said as he let his hand run over her back and through the long hair. It hurt and he could feel a wetness on his hands. He was bleeding? He had to fight it. "Can you think of good thoughts?" he asked her. "Think about when you did that acting test and the commercial with Kotonami-san. Think about how good it felt when you finally figured out Mio's character for Dark Moon. Think about that story that you told me of when you met Corn again in Guam."

Kyoko struggled as Ren felt cuts appear over his skin and he bit his top lip, he was running out of energy but as Kyoko started to think of happier things, the fog started to disappear and she started to feel a little better, her hair was still long and black but the dress was disappearing and changing into the pink Love Me outfit.

Ren tried to smile though the pain was getting to him and he felt dizzy. She was starting to hurt him less, but it wasn't all gone yet. As he held her though, Ren felt both contacts dislodge from his eyes and slip onto the ground. No…this couldn't happen just yet. No.

As Kyoko attempted to steady herself, she let go of Ren and stood up nervously. She noticed how he was concentrating on the floor as if afraid to look at her. Did he hate her that much? As she studied him, she saw the cuts and marks over his skin as if he had just lost in a fight. He still didn't look at her, closing his eyes in fact.

"Tsuruga-san," she said nervously as if her heart was breaking.

"Mogami-san, I can't look at you right now," he told her and Kyoko blinked seeing more people enter the room and she felt scared again. Ren could feel this change. "It's alright. It's not that I'm scared of you or that I dislike you in any way. Do you remember that for me, Ren Tsuruga is just my stage name?" he asked and Kyoko nodded nervously.

"Good. I can't look at you because my eyes…I use color contacts, just like I did when I played Actor X. I don't want to look at you because the color of my eyes…" he said weakly and Kyoko didn't understand. What was wrong with his eyes? What was he talking about?

"Mogami-san, if I look at you can you promise not to panic or get scared, can you even promise me that you won't get angry?" he asked, his eyes still closed.

"It's okay, Tsuruga-san, I won't get angry or think any less of you because of the color of your eyes," Kyoko attempted to promise and Ren thought about it feeling guilty. He knew that she needed his help as everyone else was wary of her. He nodded and opened his eyes before looking up at her.

Kyoko froze as she looked into those emerald eyes whilst he still had his brown hair. What? What was going on here? She took unsteady breaths before accidentally allowing her fear to target him. This was Corn? Had he just been pretending to be human? As she let her own pain into the air she saw Ren…Corn attempting to hold on before he collapsed on the floor, the wounds all over his body and his breaths labored.

"Corn?" Kyoko said before backing against the wall and shaking.

She saw the president rush over to him as his hair turned to a dark blond that was somewhere in between Ren's and Kuon's. Lory placed a hand on his throat to feel for his pulse. "Somebody call an ambulance! Tell them it's an emergency!" he yelled out at them. He looked in fear at Kyoko. "I think we need to get you someone too," he told her as Kyoko wrapped her arms around herself.

No apology would cover this.

What was worse was that she didn't know if this would happen again.
