AN: This one is another AR. I think that from the next Chapter, Chapter 1 I'm going to write in third-person but for the prologue I have it in first. I hope you guys like this. I'm kind of nervous to see if anyone will read it. 😊

Prologue

Today has definitely had its ups and downs, right now being the worst.

I have been told that I am nothing but a maid to someone who I devoted my life to. I came here because I wanted a happy life with Shotaro. All this time, I thought that I was doing what would lead me down the path of happiness to being Kyoko Fuwa. Ha! I was a joke to him all this time, a stupid boring woman and I wasted all that time yesterday on getting that stupid poster, on getting him his pudding, on trying to be the best girlfriend I could be.

I guess I need to pack up what I can, sell what I think can make me some money, and figure out what I'm going to do next with my life. It would be embarrassing to go back to Kyoto. Not only will his parents be disappointed in me but I'll be a joke to those girls who already see me as a joke.

I have to get home anyway. I pause as I see a picture of a drama on the wall.

I take a step back and glare at it. If only Mr. Perfect wouldn't be alive then everything would be ideal. Ren Tsuruga with that model-type body, with that face that shows wisdom, his calm and collected attitu- No. Kyoko this is not the time for this, you can't praise him anyway.

I sigh as I look at the strange blue color of the lights.

I want to see what the lights look like and I reach into my bag to pull out something that I didn't know I would need today until this. My precious stone, my dear friend the fairy prince gave to me. Corn.

"You're right," I smile to the stone as I see the light bounce off of it. "I want to see where the stars are shining their brightest."

…

…

It still feels a little empty. I love the work that I'm doing but it's as if I never have a chance to be myself, not that I know who myself is anyway. On the outside, I'm the top actor Ren Tsuruga but on the inside I have no idea who I am. I used to know, I used to have a clear identity but it's been a long time since then. You wouldn't see Ren Tsuruga walking in the mountains to clear his head.

I sigh as I hear Yashiro-san's footsteps behind me. I'm even scared of letting him in.

"Ren, did you hear? They're going out for drinks and they invit-" he starts but I cut him off with a laugh. Yes, they want Ren Tsuruga. Everybody wants Ren Tsuruga. They don't want the person who I actually am, the twisted and worthless Kuon Hizuri who has to be caged like a wild animal.

I chuckled and smile back to Yashiro, "Why don't you go? I'm pretty tired tonight, I'd hate to have my image get destroyed by yawning at the wrong time," I tell him and Yashiro nods to me.

"If that's what you want," he tells me and I'm glad he's going. I wouldn't want to cause him to have a bad night. As for me, I think I'll take a walk a little bit further. I hear music from nearby, maybe a concert, I'm really not that interested in Japanese music but that's probably prejudiced thinking. It's not as if I can't pretend to b-

As I walk further into a wooded area, I can feel the trees being brushed by the wind, I can hear the trickle of a man-man river, I can see the lights of the stars as I look up into space.

I feel something against my chest and I hear a girl fall and start to panic. What is going on? I didn't even sense her. She looks familiar but then I could say that about a few hundred or so Japanese women. Still, I have to be a gentleman like my father taught me before he stopped wanting me as his child.

"Excuse me, are you okay?" I ask and she barely even glances in my direction.

"I dropped it," she whispers as she rummages through the leaves. I don't understand. What did she drop, some kind of jewelry or something.

"Is it valuable?" I ask as I look around and she's still frantic.

"I don't think it has monetary value but a dear friend gave it to me, I can't lose it. He trusted me with it," she says. Wow, she's definitely not doing that whole fawning fangirl thing. I look around and see some stone. Is she talking about this? I pick it up and get jolted to a memory of my childhood. I remember this rock, the feel of it against my skin, that mysterious color. I take a few steps back.

It can't be.

"Is this it?" I ask her and she grins widely as I get flashbacks of my childhood back. I freeze as she happily takes it before taking a few steps backwards. She's now staring at me in the 'I got touched by a celebrity' manner. I laugh weakly.

"Thank you," she whispers and I try to turn, "Corn," she whispers and I immediately turn back, "Are you okay? I'm so sorry that I lost you."

"Are you visiting Tokyo, Kyoko-chan?" I ask and feel my whole body turn to ice as she looks at me in shock. I know that it's okay for her to know me as Ren Tsuruga but it's not okay for her to know me.

"Ah, yeah…" she says as she tilts her head to the side, "I'm sorry, you are Tsuruga Ren, right?" she asks and I nod.

"Well, goodbye," I say as I quickly try and get out of the situation and she looks at me confused. I turn to her and face her, "Can you keep a secret?" I ask her, god what am I doing? I shouldn't be doing it. No. I didn't tell her my name, I'll be able to find a way out of this. "Can I see the stone?" I ask her and she holds it to her heart before giving it to me.

"Stand here," I tell her before I recreate the same scenario that we went through ten years before. "You can see the magic of the stone if you hold it here," I tell her and she looks back at me in complete shock. "It's good to see you again, Kyoko-chan."
