First off Skip Beat is the work of Yoshiki Nakamura

Second I am sorry about the characterization, I'm still practicing and third, sorry about the length but it is the first chapter.

Chapter One :: An Unexpected Change

Reino sighed, leaning back his eyes closing a slight amount, he stared at the newspaper in front of him which showed the cast of Dark Moon and especially the fact that that damned, hidden past Tsuruga had Kyouko looking at him in such a manner. It was as if she wanted him but had gotten to the point where she wasn't exactly sure what he had wanted. Kyouko was his apple, his trainee, someone who would soon belong to him; that was, of course, once he had gotten rid of the trash around her.

He leaned back in an angry manner before Miroku came to stand beside him, "Reino?" he asked quietly, "Are you feeling alright, I thought that you got a headache yesterday and with your weak body. Should you be up?" he asked softly, tilting his head to the side so that his long hair hit the air just beside the lead singer's knee.

"Don't worry," the lead member began, "I managed to find someone to put a stop to this. Soon that guy will get erased by my dark witch, then she'll be mine for the taking." He bowed his head once more, a smile creeping over his face. Once "Tsuruga Ren" was out of the picture it'd be a lot easier to control the situation. Receiving a call on his phone he picked it up to hear a rather cold male voice.

"I managed to do it," the person on the other end spoke with a cruel laugh, "Managed to brainwash Ren whilst I was on the photo shoot with him, so to complete our deal I'll be expecting that million yen when I next see you."

"Hmm," Reino mused, "And you're sure that he will..."

"Without a doubt," the man replied, "Without a doubt, until his mind pieces back together after a month or two, he will hate her with all of his heart."

"Excellent," the blonde smiled as he put his hand behind his head and lay back, "I'll be looking forward to taking her." Before he said another word, he grew bored of the conversation, turning off the phone. Finally he'd win without having to see that guy again.

Meanwhile

"It was nice working with you Tsuruga-san," the director spoke as Ren nodded. This was a photo shoot for the drama he was acting in at the same time as the movie, as usual he had made sure to fill up his schedule. Ever since he had started out with a new identity he had found that the more jobs he could get, the closer he got to establishing enough power so that he could represent himself. That meant that once he was in that position, he could focus more on the psychological issues of his life rather than the ones associated with the acting career.

"So," Yashiro commented, coming close to him, "You're stretching yourself too thinly again," he spoke as Ren blinked back at him. "I'm amazed that you never seem to worry about stress,"

"Who says that I don't worry?" Ren asked calmly as he walked in the direction where the car was parked, "I think that in this profession it's only right to carry a professional manner everywhere you go."

Yashiro looked at him, thinking about what he had just said, "It's also alright to feel relaxed in situations such as these," he began as Ren stared at him. He had considered himself relaxed. "I mean what would Kyouko say if she saw that you were---" before he could finish that sentence he found the anger build up inside the star's eyes as a malicious smile spread across his face.

"A know nothing actor like that," he laughed almost as if he was ready to torment her, "Someone of that pathetically apologetic nature approaching the great Tsuruga Ren with such trivial ideas. What a mere child, it makes me sick. She would be better off quitting, no one should ever want to act with her."

As he said that Yashiro backed away slightly, he had never expected for Ren to say that about anyone but especially about Kyouko and the way he had said that was incredibly scary, it was as if someone had replaced him. "it sounds as if you hate her," he commented, "Do you--"

Looking up at him, Yashiro froze as he noticed his client to have a terrifying expression, "Oh it's more than hate, I would rather kill her with my own two hands then hear her annoying voice, or see her bland appearance. She isn't even attractive, it's rather pitiful for a girl to be that way," he spoke with a weird sort of chuckle, which scared his manager even more. Ren had really never spoken like this, it was as if he had snapped somehow.

Without another thought, Yashiro slapped his hand onto the twenty one year old's forehead checking his temperature in an attempt to see if that was the problem. He felt normal, perhaps slightly colder than usual but normal none the less. Yashiro pulled his hand away, giving the brunette a suspicious look, there was definitely something wrong with him. "It sounds as if you're trying to protect Kyo---" before he could finish what he was about to say, Ren had clapped a hand over his mouth.

Starting to break down into cruel laughter, he stared back at Yashiro, "That is funny," he hissed, "Why would I want to protect such a disgusting creature as her, if anything I'd want to kill her but she is a bitch, there's nothing else to say but that. No matter the reason, a man should never strike a girl, even something nonhuman like Mogami Kyouko."

"That's it," Yashiro announced, folding his arms, "You're going to have to go to the doctors, I won't have you answer me back on that..." As they passed the corner, their eyes gravitated over to the young red head approaching them. Ren placed a hand on his forehead as if he had a migrane just from seeing her.

"Ah," she spoke dashing over before bowing, "Yashiro-san, Tsuruga-san, how are you today?" She looked up with a smile before noticing Ren's half disgusted, half irritated expression. Tilting her head to the side she blinked confused, "Eh?"
