AN: I'm going to make an attempt to work on a plan to fit in work, school work, and the fics that I want to write but I'm taking a temporary break until I get my mind sorted. I did want to start this one though because once I do get things in line I think I'll have time for each and every one of my Skip Beat fics. So, this is Skip Beat Active Fic number 35.

The Heart of My Enemy

Chapter Zero – The Beginning

As I wake up this morning, I feel a little strange. It's not that I haven't had mornings in which I've felt strange since I became Kuon but usually Kyoko can help me through them. Right now though, Kyoko doesn't seem to be here and I feel weird. The bed has a strange smell of a cologne that isn't mine and I feel as if Kyoko's side wasn't slept in tonight. I must have done something for her to get so angry with me.

I yawn but as I hear the echo throughout the room, my eyes widen and I sit up. This room isn't mine. It's an elegant type of room, the one celebrities are supposed to have from what the media reports but that doesn't change the fact that it isn't mine. I've never been in this place before in my life.

I need to calm down. Was I drinking last night? Could there have been the chance of anything strange getting put into my body? No. Kyoko and I went to a party last night. We were discussing with Yashiro how we were going to celebrate our two year wedding anniversary. Kyoko had a couple of drinks and so I wouldn't have had anything, I didn't have anything because I'm not going to risk anything happening to my wife.

So, why am I here?

"Think, Kuon, think" I repeat to myself and listen to the voice. This isn't my voice. This isn't my body. No. That's impossible. The world doesn't work on the logic in my wife's mind. People don't suddenly turn up in the body of somebody else. I try to calm myself.

Maybe if I could see what I look like, whose body this is then I'll feel a little better. As I stand up, I walk over to the mirror and I feel that I can't breathe. No. This has to be some kind of terrible nightmare. I can't be him. "Damn it," I whisper as I see the reflection following my words and my body movements. I pinch myself, twisting the skin and it's painful. "Damn you, Fuwa," I whisper as I stare at the body of my rival. "I am going to kill you for this."

…

…

I feel as if my body has been stretched. That's pretty annoying, I mean, my career in showbusiness is never going to advance again if I'm stretched. I've been in a period of stagnation for almost two years now. I can't believe I have to see Hizuri advance and then I'm just stuck. It's too bad he took Kyoko from me after she stopped being a plain and boring woman. I feel drained and usually I wake up with an appetite but I already feel stuffed as if my body suddenly stopped wanting to eat.

I hear a noise from the bedroom. I can't remember hooking up with any chicks last night but one might have followed me home. Probably Chiori manipulating me again. I'm supposed to have control over my dating life, nobody else. I hear a sound from beside me and open my eyes. It feels different, the room looks different.

This is a pain. Not only am I with some girl I don't remember but I don't know how I got here either.

I hear a voice from the side and recognize it, "Are you okay?" she asks before coming to me and I hate that I let her go. She looks very similar to how she did in that Dark Moon after party thing. She has her chestnut hair though but her body looks like a mature angels especially in the nightdress she's wearing. She climbs up onto the bed and glances down on me.

"Hi," she tells me as she places a hand to my cheek and leans down for a kiss. Is she drunk or something? This isn't the Kyoko that I know and am in love with, she seems more nurturing than usual or am I mistaking that for slutty. This is confusing. As she kisses me, I hold onto her upper arm trying to keep her there. I'm ashamed to say how much I'm in love with her.

She pulls back looking confused and runs her tongue over her lips. I see that there's something wrong in her eyes. "Are you sick, sweetheart?" she asks as she puts her hand on my forehead, testing for a fever. "Corn," she lies down in the bed again and puts her head on my chest. She's probably drunk if she's acting like this towards me or maybe she finally realized how much I outrank her no-good husband. "You'd tell me if you don't feel well, right?"

"Uh, why…why would I do that?" I ask and she sighs and looks at me, there's so much alarm in her eyes. She lets one hand cup my cheek.

"Because you know I'd worry if you weren't okay and you didn't tell me. You promised to be honest with me about how you feel," she says and I look at her. I don't remember promising anything of the kind. I mean, who does she think she is. She's obviously gone crazy and lost her mind and as much as I want to take advantage of that, it's just wrong. "Kuon, just tell me if you're not okay."

"What did you call me?" I ask as I stare at her in completely shock. What the hell!?

"Kuon," she repeats and then frowns, "or are you so upset that you've slipped into Ren again?" she asks with hurt in her voice and I sit up, pushing her away from me which makes her shiver for some reason. As I look in the mirror I see that I am that asshole. What kind of cruel punishment is this!?
