Hey Ya'll!

I recently started getting in to Skip Beat again. I was looking for fanfiction to read and I realized there weren't many out right now. I literally just came up with this today. I have a skeleton of an outline in my head. I hope you enjoy, I wanted to add something dramatic to the Skip Beat fanfiction world. It may seem intense or OOC right now. Everything will make sense in the end, I promise you. Nothing will seem very OOC once you understand what is going on. This chapter and the next will serve like prologues to the main story.

Anyways, Happy reading! Disclaimer: I do not own Skip Beat.

Chapter 1

The moon shined brightly on streets of Tokyo. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. There was no breeze. It was late and few people roamed the streets at this late hour. It was a relatively calm evening almost tranquil. Few cars passed on the streets. Footsteps could be heard. They had a sound of urgency. The shoes clicked on the sidewalk. The owner of the shoes had a very troubled look. His heart was racing and sweat was beginning to form above his brow. Where did she go? He thought with anxiety. His started to jog as he looked around and panic began to seep in. He felt dizzy and his head seemed to spin.

"Kyoko!" he listened for only a moment and heard silence. The man of 24 looked around brushing his hand through his dark locks. He felt like he was going insane. He had to find her. He would search the whole damn world if he had too.

"Kyoko, PLEASE!" He yelled, now running. He could see the golden eyes in his memory full of tears and anguish. He felt his heart twist in pain. He stopped. He was panting and in full sweat. He looked at the sky and tears began to fall. He could only imagine how much pain she was feeling right now. His mind was trying to re-trace what happened. His mind felt fuzzy and it continued to spin. How did he get in that situation? How was he going to explain it to her when he didn't even know what happened?

Where could she be? His mind screamed.

The park. He thought. She has to be there. He ran, his lungs burned as he inhaled the cold air. He felt the world spinning and his vision become blurred. He stumbled as few times but nothing was going to stop him. He ran towards the park, the park that had so much meaning for them. He could see the park and there she sat on the swing. She sat hunched over. He walked frantically to her. Her whole being was shaking as she sobbed.

"Kyoko.." He said somberly. She continued to weep. He walked closer to her, closing the distance. He placed his hand on her head.

"Take your hand off me." Kyoko whispered bitterly. He felt the sting of her words and quickly moved his hand. He tried to figure out what to say.

"Kyoko. I honestly do not know what is going on, I- Lets just talk." His voice was shaking as he looked at her.

" I don't want to hear it." She looked at him. Her eyes were filled with hurt and disappointment.

"I can't even explain what happened. I'm not even sure what is happening. I don't know how I got in that situation" His voice trembled as he replied frantically. She looked at him in disgust.

"Really." She paused, choking back tears. She looked at the sky for a moment. "I really can't believe it." She said silently to herself and then looked at him. "I don't understand it but I know what I saw. I remember an almost naked woman on top of you. You were half undressed. It looked like..." Her face looked pained. She stared at his dark eyes. "I don't want to talk to you. As I look at you right now, I see this image. I see this woman." Tears started to fall as she sobbed sorrowfully. She got up and started to pace back and forth. "I thought I could trust you. I thought you were someone who wouldn't hurt me. I guess I'm wrong. I can't trust anyone." Her eyes pierced Ren and she got up quickly and turned her back to him.

" I did not plan this-"

"Stop. I can't take this. I need to think by myself. I don't want to talk to you right now." She began to walk away from him. He quickly caught up with her and grabbed her hand

" Let me try to ex-"

"Please I beg you I don't want to talk to you! I can't do this right now. I need to be by myself." She ripped her hand out of his grip and walked briskly away. He had to resolve this. He had to explain. He watched her run. He had a choice to run after her or watch her disappear into the cityscape. He looked at her and he would always choose her.

"KYOKO!" He yelled. She ignored him and began to run. He felt the world spinning around him as he began to chase her.

"Kyoko, stop!" He saw her running and she began to cross the street. Everything seemed to slow down in that precise moment. He saw the headlights coming closer and closer.

No. He thought. This cannot happen again.

Tears began to fall. Kyoko was violently hit by the car. Her fragile body was thrown and she rolled across the street. Blood began to seep on the pavement and her body lay there in silence.

" Kyoko!" Ren stumbled over to her motionless body. His whole being started to shake and his whole world seems to be crumbling before him. Panic and pain surged through his veins. He fell to his knees.

"Where's my phone" He struggled to grab the phone from his pocket. His head continued to spin. I have to call for help, I have to make it. He could feel his consciousness slowly slip from him. With more urgency he dialed the emergency number. Please. Let her be alive, let her be alive he chanted in his head. His breath became jagged and shallow.

" Please help. Kyoko was just hit by a car. Please I don't know what to do. I-" he could barely speak and the whole world seem to fade to black.

Kyoko...

Beeeeep. silence.

Beeeeep. silence

Beeeeep. silence

He felt a sharp pain as he tried to open his eyes.

"Ren." He heard a low male voice whisper. He opened his eye. The sterile hospital lights blared in his eye. He looked at the familiar male silhouette.

The president looked at him concerned. He is not doing good.

"How are you doing?" Lory asked softly. The president looked exhausted, his eyes were red.

"Wh- Where's Kyoko" Ren eyes shot open as he tried to get up.

"Stop." Lory made him lay back down.

"Where am I? Is she ok." He asked frantically. He looked at Lory desperately for answers.

" Wait a second. Take a deep breath. I will explain everything, just listen." Ren took a deep breath and laid back down.

" Right now you are in the hospital. You are currently a patient and you should be released later this evening or should I say morning" Lory looked at the clock, 4 am.

" Just tell me what is going on with Kyoko. I can't-" Ren could vividly remember her small frame being pushed to the ground. He remembers the blood. Tears started to form and panic raced through his blood.

"I'm getting to that. She is currently in surgery. She's in critical condition but she is alive." Ren felt some comfort that she was alive but that did not stop him from worrying.

"She should be getting out very soon. I suggest you relax and wait." Lory said calmly.

"How can I relax? She is in surgery. She was hit by a car because of me. "Ren's chest tightened " I tried to chase her. I shouldn't have. It only made it worse." Ren began to breathe shallowly.

" None of this is your fault, Ren. Do not blame yourself. You did nothing wrong." Lory became concerned as he looked at the despair he was in.

" She... I..." his world began to shatter.

Why am I cursed? Why do I hurt the ones that mean the most to me?

He remembered Rick's dead body. He remembered Kyoko's still body on the street. He grabbed his watchless wrist. He thought he would never have to wear it again. He was wrong.

"Ren, stop what you're thinking. I haven't seen you look like that since when you first came here."

The door opened and the doctor looked at Lory.

"May I have a few words with you?"

"Yes of course." Lory moved over to the doctor.

Ren looked at them trying to focus in on their conversation

"He should be discharged within the next 30 minutes. Kyoko just got out of surgery successfully. The only thing is," The doctor paused. "It isn't the best. As of right now she is in a coma." Ren tensed as he heard the news

"Oh my God, what does this mean?" Lory asked.

"We can only hope she wakes up but that isn't always certain. She could be a vegetable for the rest of her life."

Ren let the words the doctor spoke echo in his head.

Her life is ruined. I am cursed. I have to leave. I need to leave. I will leave.

Hopefully you enjoyed this! Feel free to review! Be a hater or a lover, you're choice.

I wanted to write a fanfiction that was melodramatic in nature. I was thinking how can I make extreme situations work in the world of Skip Beat. I found an answer to my question, so I decided to write it. I'll be updating in the future. Stay tuned to see how this chapter and following ones fits into the whole puzzle.
