"Sawara-san? Did you call me?" Sawara looked up to see the cheerful red head standing in a perfect posture in front of him with her hands firmly at her side. She's much too polite, though Sawara as he smiled back at her.

"Yeah I did, actually another agency wants to offer you a main supporting role in an upcoming movie. They also want Kotonami-san to play the lead. She's already accepted and has gone to fill out the paper work. She would be playing the role of a princess in a magical kingdom. As far as the script goes, it seems really interesting and I think you should definitely consider it." Kyoko's eyes sparkled and she had a huge smile on her face. Wow, I can almost see the fairies from her imagination all around her.

"I'll actually get the chance to work with Moko-san! And she'll be playing the role of a princess! That seems so perfect for my beautiful friend! Sawara-san, what role would I be playing? Her faithful godmother? Her loyal fairy friend? Her…"

"You'd be one of the villians. And evil witch." Her expression drastically changed into one of sadness. Oh no! Here come the tears.

"WAAAHHH! I'll never be able to be a fairy. I'll always be the evil one! Why Sawara-san, why!"

"W-well, like I've told her before, you did so well as Mio and Natsu that a lot of agencies want you playing their villain roles, too. You make it seem so real. Like you're acting from the inside."

"But that's not me! Are you saying I'm evil from the inside!"

"N-no. Calm down, it's not all that bad. Besides, eventually the witch turns good. See, just read the script." Kyoko quickly grabbed the script and flipped to the end, quickly scanning over it."

"Ahhh!"

"W-what now?"

"It's so beautiful!" Her glittering atmosphere was back. "So who would be playing the prince opposite of Moko-san?"

"Let me check….oh…it's Fuwa Sho." The sparkling atmosphere was gone again, replaced when a menacing aura. Oh, why me?

"Did you say Sho?"

"Ummm…yes."

"That Shotaru! He'll be playing opposite of my beautiful Moko-san!" Kyoko grabbed Sawara-san's collars and shook him violently. I take back the part about her being polite, Sawara thought, tears forming at the corners of his eyes as he was shook back and forth.

"…stop…I…"

"Call the agency and tell them to change the lead actor!"

"I…I can't do that."

"Then tell Moko-san to come back and not fill out the contract."

"But by now she's probably done already." Ahhh! I can't move! Why does it feel like something is keeping me from moving?

"SAWARA! WHY DIDN'T YOU CHECK THE LEAD ACTOR EARLIER!"

"…so does this mean you don't want the role?"

"Oh, I'm taking that role! There's no way I would leave my poor Moko-san all by herself with that Shotaru!" Waah! Someone please save me. Huh? It feels like the pressure around me is leaving.

Sawara looked up to see a frozen Kyoko, with Ren standing behind her.

"What's going on here? Mogami-san, is something wrong?" Ren had one of his winning smiles on his face, sparkles all around him.

"T-tsuruga-san, I…n-nothing is g-going on."

"Then why are you holding onto Sawara-san's collars like that?" Kyoko quickly let go of his collars.

"I-I need to go now. Sawara-san I'll contact the agency later. Bye." She bowed quickly and then left.

"So what was all that about?" Sawara looked thankfully at Ren for saving his life.

"Well, she got offered a role for a movie, but she found out that the lead is being played Fuwa Sho and…" Huh? Why do I feel that menacing aura again? But this time it's worse! Sawara looked around for Kyoko. His eyes landed on Ren, who had his rare, yet terrifying, expression of anger on. Sawara stepped back.

"I see…so that's what she' so worked up about."

"Ummm…yeah…well, I'd better get back to work."

"Sawara-san, are there any more roles available in that movie?"


"All right! Are all the actors and actresses here?"

"No, the actor playing the supporting role of the witch's apprentice still isn't here yet. He had another shoot to go to right before this."

"Oh, well if it's him, then we can wait a while."

The actors and actresses waited for the last actor to show up. Kanae sat in her chair looking through the script. Suddenly she felt someone standing right beside her.

"Moko-san!"

"Oh, Kyoko? I didn't think you would take this role after you found out that Fuwa Sho is playing the lead."

"So you knew? How could you take this role when you knew that?" Kyoko looked at Kanae with a pained expression as if she had been stabbed in back and then she glared at Sho who glared back at her.

Kanae sighed. "Look Kyoko, I took it because I thought it was a good role, and I'm glad you took your role, too. You can't let that guy control your life."

"Ahhh, such wise words! As expected from my Moko-san. You're right!" Kyoko's smile was backing and her eyes were sparking to their fullest.

Will you cut it out with those sparkly eyes. It's annoying."

Sniff. "You think I'm annoying?" There were tears forming in Kyoko's eyes now. Wow, this girl is really emotionally unstable.

"Oh! Why is Beagle here?" Kanae turned to see Viel Ghoul standing there.

"I think they're going to be recording some of the soundtrack for the movie."

"What? Why them?"

"I don't know. Oh, it looks like the last actor is here. That's who'll be playing the role of your apparent…huh?"

"T-tsuruga-san?"

"Sorry I'm late everyone. I'm usually always on time, I just had a conflicting schedule."

Everyone stared in shock at Ren. The most popular actor, the one who always played the lead, would be playing the role of the witch's apprentice?

One of the supporting actresses spoke up. "Wait? Tsuruga Ren is going to be playing this minor role? How can that be? You should switch him with Sho!"

"What? No way! That guy can't take my place!"

"It's ok everyone, I asked for this role. I thought it would be a good experience for me to be able to pay a supporting role for a change." Ren flashed one of his smiles. The actresses now satisfied, quieted down.

The director welcomed everyone and began to discuss the movie. The president and his niece and Yashiro were also there to see how Ren did in his first supporting role. But Ren wasn't worried about a thing, he just wanted to make sure that Sho didn't cause any problems.

"Ok everyone, let's make this movie a success!"
