Welcome to my new (and first) Skip Beat fanfic! I hope I do well in depicting the crazy Kyoko and sexy Ren…oh and the dog Sho. Please take care of me!

Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat, if I did Sho would have long since become Kyoko's lapdog. Woof, woof! Muahahaaa….

Prologue

It's hard to forget that rainy night two years ago, after all, I had no food, I had only the tattered clothes hanging off me and I certainly had no home…at least not anymore. It was at first hard for me to believe that I, Kyoko Mogami, had lost everything with a simple word and a wave of fingers. Unappreciated, that was what I was. Unappreciated and meaningless, made to live on the street, after all, where else could I go?

A shop, well lit up with the words, "The Seductress" had somehow caught my attention that night. I don't know why I stumbled over there, knocked on a window and begged the lady who opened it for kindness. But, she never wasted anytime in assisting me. The catch was, I had to sign a contract that would bound me to her business until I was 18. Then, I was just a 15 year old girl on the brink of 16 and I was starving…and I had nowhere else to go. I didn't hesitate to say yes.

And just like that, my whole world took on a new shape. I was handed over to my senpai, Kotonami Kanae who acted as my sensei – teaching me all there was to learn about the business.

It took me months to be able to entertain a visitor all by myself without any mishaps and though I was greatly discouraged that it had taken me 3 months to learn their craft, they applauded me and told me I was excelling beautifully.

Our business had rules, but there was only one that mattered. Never Let a Customer Have You. And that was it. On several occasions I had come close to have what was left of my innocence taken away from me, but I managed every time to find a way to send out my customer. I was not a whore therefore I refused to be treated as such. I was someone who would relieve the stress of her customers, make them forget about their hardships and in a way…tempt them and torture them. After all, many of our customers found pleasure in being tortured.

But after a while I found myself lacking something, and I began to crave it. The worst part was…I had no idea what it was that I wanted. It was suggested to me that a teenage girl such as myself wanted an easier life, with a boy that loved me. But I had no use of the word love. I had loved someone before. I had loved him so deeply that I did not care what would happen to me, I only wanted him to be eternally happy. And so by choosing to love him, I had ended my own life in the hopes of making his better. A silly, naïve mistake on my part, just look at where that had gotten me: sleeping on the streets, begging passing people for money to buy food and now enticing men for a living. Loving him had landed me in the business of seduction.

Damn you! Damn you…Shotaro!

I know it's short, but it's just an introduction. I plan on making the rest of the chapters just a little longer. ^_^. Hope you enjoyed it, please tell me if you did…or didn't. Flames are totally welcome.
