DISCLAIMER: I do not own Skip Beat! That honor goes to Nakamura Yoshiki.

Of course she was a little suspicious of the little box of chocolate left in her room, allegedly sent by her beloved Moko-san. However, it was White Day and Kyoko was use to Moko's tough love. Moko-san would be quite embarrassed to hand Kyoko a box of chocolates in return. The image of a flustered Kotonami Kanae was far too cute and Kyoko began to squirm and gush on the floor.

After her little fit, Kyoko wondered how the chocolate magically appeared in her room. The owners of Daruma-ya were not given anything by anyone to give to their residential psuedo-daughter.

So how exactly had Kanae delivered the chocolates so discreetly? Was she a fairy who flitted through Kyoko's window and left the chocolates? Or a foreign princess who rode to Kyoko's window atop of an elephant and told the elephant to put the chocolates in her room with its trunk?

Kyoko fingered the box gingerly. The box didn't seem like it had been cradled in an elephant's trunk.

It was lemon-colored with a salmon pink sash the curled and blossomed on the top. Kyoko's heart melted at the details Moko-san had put into returning her chocolates from Valentine's Day (or Vain-Day, as Kyoko bitterly called it). The box was just so pretty. She couldn't bring herself to open it.

Hesitantly, she slipped the ribbon off without untying it. She lifted the yellow lid and and the heart-shaped truffles greeted her with love and pretty little decorations.

"Moko-san!" Mogami Kyoko frothed from the mouth. Her eyes became gooey and huge, watery, with blush streaks on her cheeks, hands clasped in joy, mouth shaped like a '3'.

She carefully lifted a chocolate, and bit into what appeared to be the lovely chocolate (home made!) her aloof Moko-san had made for her.

Boy, was she wrong.

"How exactly do you know Kotonami Kanae?" Reino's long-haired companion asked lightly. Though, he knew his bandmate long enough to know he wouldn't be getting a straight answer.

"I have connections," Reino said vaguely.

The former smirked. "I'm sure you do."

Reino let a slip of a smile reach his face. He could only imagine the chaos his potioned chocolates would unleash on Kyoko and the notorious Tsuruga Ren. Oh, how he wished he could see it unravel! He would, eventually. A little touch from Kyoko and all the events of her day would be presented to him.

Besides, he reasoned with an indignant sniff, it'd be a lot less frightening to touch Kyoko than the lion.

The effect of the chocolate went unnoticed by Kyoko. Though she did feel a little...what was the word? Reborn. Suddenly the clothing in her wardrobe were to cutesy and modest. However, her 'Natsu' clothes were absolutely appetizing to her.

A tight black pencil skirt wore her trim little waist, lining her hips and lending to her long, slender legs. She wore a red blouse (red was an aphrodisiac, after all) tucked into the skirt, with ruffles at the chest. She left the top buttons undone, to allow a bit of her slight cleavage. Black tights followed leopard-patterned heels.

She mussed her short, orange hair in a sexy, messy way. With 'Natsu' make-up, Kyoko combed mascara through her lashes, lined her eyes, and glossed her lips.

There.

Although, she mused with chagrin, this skirt was too long.

It was only a little above the knee!
