So...-*pulls all four of the pitiful souls (Kyoko, Ren, Misaki, Usui) out of my awesome author portal*- these guys will do the disclaimer for me.

Kyoko: m4g3rul3z does not own Kaichou wa maid sama (also known as maid sama)...

Misaki: nor does she own Skip Beat!...

Ren: Although if she did my heart wouldn't still be broken after 159 chapters.

Kyoko: ! is there something wrong with your heart Sempai? Did you eat too fast? Oh no! Wait here I'll go get some heat rub! Don't dieeeee *rakes up a huge sandstorm while running*

Usui: *pfft* *cough cough*

Misaki: How can anyone be so dense...O.o

Usui: Ren, I feel your pain.

Ren: Apparently this author just wants to make my life miserable by forcing me to – *psst* hey author what did you say you were going to force me to do? –

Me: see Kyoko in a maid outfit and sit there like a whipped little boy.

Usui: Good luck Ren. It's hard, I know. And for those of you who know and love both Skip Beat! and Kaichou wa maid sama, welcome back *glints and grins* - hey Ren help me out here –

Ren & Usui: Young ladies~ (and masters if any) *oozing pheromones*

Misaki: and for those who don't know either...*scary demons come out*

Kyoko: *scarier demons come out* GO READ THEM. After you've read this of course. *Tsuruga-sempai! I've got the heat rub!*

CHAPTER 1!

"MOGAMI KYOKO!" the shriek could be heard all across the LME building, and probably caused a brief seismic activity as the staff clung on to their desks in a futile effort to prevent being blown away. "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU TO READ THE SCRIPT BEFORE ACCEPTING THE PROJECT?"

"Moko-san..." a teary-eyed Kyoko stared at her best friend, "Ogata-san wanted me in it! Sawara-san even said that it was about a girl who hated men, was strong and powerful, and her arch nemesis was a guy with blonde hair! I...I didn't know that they were going to fall in love!"

"Well, this is what you get for accepting immediately!"

"What's worse, this...this...'Misaki' is so tomboyish and so...so plain DENSE! She doesn't even realise that she loves him until so far down! How am I supposed to act like that? How can I create a character just like her? It's impossible!"

"Trust me; you're absolutely perfect for the role."

As Kotonami Kanae watched her self-proclaimed best friend slump into a pile of unidentified goo, she gently eased the script out of Kyoko's jellified hands and flipped through it, grinning mischievously while formulating wonderful fantasies in her head. It'd been months now and that idiot Tsuruga Ren still hadn't made any noticeable progress on his relationship with his currently gooey kohai. This said kohai was way too distraught to hear her precious Moko-san whip out her sleek black phone to call Yashiro, and tell him of her latest idea to pull these two morons together before either of them die from the anticipation.

Tsuruga Ren watched as his manager sneakily snapped his phone shut. He'd just been gone filming the last few scenes as the cold blooded murderer he hated being, remembering the only upside to it all was having Kyoko beside him as his sister for a short while before he started the production. Suspicion filled the said actor as he noticed Yashiro make a second call, and he stepped off the set to get to the bottom of the whole thing, arriving just after Yashiro had put down the phone and taken off his gloves.

"You've got a new job! The President has already assigned you to it and everything will be taken care of. Apparently Director Ogata has requested that you act in the latest drama he will be filming, and President thought that it would be a great opportunity for you to develop your acting skills in the arena of love!" Yashiro waved his hands around and gave a smile that would put the sun to shame.

"Yashiro-san..." A giant gentlemanly grin had been plastered on Tsuruga Ren's face, giving the manager multiple chills that ran up and down his scared silly spine. "What are you planning?"

"OH! AMAMIYA-SAN! WHAT'S THAT? I'M NEEDED THERE? I'M COMING!"

Ren watched unimpressed as his cowardly manager dashed to a non-existent emergency, leaving the actor behind both bothered and anxious, not to mention annoyed. Love. Why did they have to keep throwing him down the deep end as a suave gentleman only capable of making the ladies swoon? He knew he'd had to act many of these roles, but with each one he took on, it got harder and harder for him to express it. Even Mogami-san had to help him out when they were filming in Dark Moon. If the President was involved in this, then he would certainly have something to say about it all. Ren trudged to the President's room, with questions that he wanted answered.

"Ah Ren," Lory Takarada smiled pleasantly at the ridiculously tall actor, motioning him to take a seat beside Director Ogata, "we were just talking about you."

"Yashiro was rather...brief while informing me about the drama," Ren started, "I just came to find out more."

"It's based on a top rated shoujo manga, named Kaichou wa Maid Sama." The President started, "I thought the storyline was rather interesting, and we had many fan requests for it to be turned into a drama. And of course, WE CAN'T DEPRIVE THE WORLD OF SUCH A SYRUPY SWEET LOVE STORY!"

Director Ogata and Tsuruga Ren stared at each other blankly as the imaginary fireworks sparkled around Lory, who was obviously having fun with the very idea.

"Tsuruga-san, I was pleased with the performance on Dark Moon, and I hoped that this would be another chance for you to express love in a different way." Director Ogata handed Ren a copy of the script, "only thing is, we're afraid you may not be able to express it as obviously as we would like you to. The character you're playing is a teenager, and although he acts maturely under all circumstances, he tends to be rash in his decisions when it comes to his love interest."

"What we're trying to say, Ren, is that if you take on this role, you will be required to constantly think about your character's love interest, like how to make her happy, or what would be best for her," Lory snapped out of his stupor and leaned in closer to Ren, "I'm worried that since you haven't felt love before, you may not be able to distinguish between concern and true desire. That will be your challenge for this production. Like I have said, the audience can tell if you're not capable enough for the role."

Ren paused for a moment, and then looked at the President with a glint in his eyes.

"Then I'll just have to live up to the expectations, don't I?"

Okay! So that was the very first chapter! Erm...it's a little short with no action between our heroes and heroines, basically because there'll be a lot more to come! (if I don't die halfway or get eaten by the I-munch-bad-authors-for-breakfast monster, that is. That is also the main reason why I write in the afternoon.)

Anyway, tell me if you like it, if you don't, and thanks loads for even reading it!
