Chapter 1- The Long Waited Princess
"Director here's the profiles of the actors and actress you wanted." a tall man handed the thick pile of paper. Few minutes past as he reviewed the last profile. After another few minutes of another internal debate he picked out three papers from the pile.
"These three...haha..it seems things are going to get interesting." A young man chuckled, as he stood up and walked out of his office. On his desk were the three papers showing Japan's #1 most eligible bachelor and actor, Japan's #1 idol, and Japan's rising star laid out perfectly across the wooden surface.
….
Sounds of cars footsteps and the voices of the people echoed throughout streets of Tokyo. The sun shined brightly greeting the early people heading for their work, and not a single cloud was in sight. The day seemed almost too perfect, like nothing could go wrong..almost perfect being the keywords...What a certain orange hair actress didn't know, it marked the beginning of days in the fiery depth of hell...
"Ah Kyoko! Your here!" The man head of the LME's talent section called out!
"Sawara-san is it another job?" She smiled.
"It is! It's a new role in the new drama, here's the details, let me know whether you want to accept it." Sawara exclaimed.
"...Romance..Princess?" She read, still taking in the title of the drama.
"Princes...PRINCESS?" She screamed joyful at the realization, as the other office workers flinched in surprise. (A.N- Romance Princess is a Taiwanese drama that I watched It's really funny please watch it! Details about this drama will be explained further into the story.)
"I ACCEPT I ACCEPT I ACCEPT!" A voice screamed joyfully, sending the whole people on a 100 feet radius to jump at the sudden loud scream
"Alright Alright Alright..J-Just calm down." The head of the talent section quavered at the orange haired teen.
"Sawara-san this role is perfect! This is THE role I've been waiting for!" She rambled on. The man stood in "awe" watching the crazy girl continue to ramble on and on noble women and princesses.
"In any case Sawara-san thank you so much! I entirely accept!" She finished as she rushed out of the office to start her "LoveMe" duties. The man watched as the overexcited female skipped happily away, and gave a small smile.
"Goodness, you would think about 1 and a half year she would get used to getting jobs like this...She IS the famous rising actress." Sawara chuckled, as he recalled his first "fated" encounter of the young weird girl, that suddenly appeared out of no where demanding an audition to LME and starting from the very bottom. And now look at you Kyoko...

Thinking about her newly received role, Kyoko couldn't help but laugh to herself imaging her longingly waited princess-like role as she carelessly skim through the drama synopsis and her character profile.
"Good Morning Mogami-san." a voice called out. Mogami turned her head, spotting her dear Senpai and his manager and greeted back as she walked to his side.
"Tsuruga-san Yashiro-san Good Morning!" She smiled, sweetly.
"You seem to be in a good mood, did anything good happen?" the tall actor smiled back.
"YES IT'S A NEW ROLE TSURUGA-SENPAI! AND A PRINCESS-LIKE ROLE!" She exploded of happiness, as she began to ramble, scaring the two men in front of her.
"My character is the main heroine. She is strong, determine, honest, and though living a life in poverty, she realizes that her parents were her actually adoptive parents and that her only biological family her grandfather who is the founder of largest business group in Asia.. IT'S TRULY A CINDERELLA STORY!" She continued. Ren eyes widen for a second, noticing the familiarity of the plot.
"That's great Mogami-san, congratulations." He smiled.
"Kyoko-chan, by any chance is your character named Himeko?"Yashiro asked, also noticing the familiarity of the plot.
"How did you know Yashiro-san?" Suddenly snapping from her own world.
"Well.." Yashiro began.
"Well actually we heard that, that drama would be coming out soon from one of the directors that I worked with in my current drama." Ren quickly evaded.
"Is that so?"
"Demo Mogami-san will you be alright?" Ren worried.
"Eh? What do you mean Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko replied, confused on what her senpai is trying to get at. Ren let out a sigh, not knowing that she would THIS blind as to accept a role without reading the full Drama synopsis.
"The drama Mogami-san is a ROMANCE drama, from what I heard, your character has a love line with the main male lead."
Kyoko processed it for a second until it finally it her.
"DAMN IT! I DIDN'T READ THE FULL SUMMARY OF THE PLOT!" She screamed internally as her little "Devil minions" began floating out of her body.
"Refuse the role...its for your own good..." they repeated pessimisticly.
"D-demo I finally get a the role of a princess, how can I refuse?" her group devils B growled back.
"NO! Think about the consequences of accepting this role (love)!" The group devil A debated back.
"But your an actress and as an actress she should play any kind of roles. And if she wants to inch a little closer to Tsuruga-san she should accept it." the Group B fought back pointing to an imagined picture of her senpai. The realization hit Kyoko as she began to calm down a little.
"Mogami-san?" Ren called out again. Kyoko snapped back into reality as she turn to face the tall actor.
"Umm...it maybe hard...but...but.I'll try my best!" She decided, as she bowed down to her Senpai. Ren smiled at the girl's determination and patted the girl's head.
"Good luck Mogami-san I'm sure you'll be able to do it." Ren encouraged. Kyoko felt heat rising as her heartbeat began pounding harder. NO no...I have to relax...He's only encouraging me cause I'm his kohai...that's the only reason...just his kohai and nothing else. Kyoko tried to reason as she said her goodbyes to the two men and left for the Love Me locker room.

"Why didn't you tell her that you'll be in the drama? And your the main lead at that too." Yashiro sighed at his "failure in love" charge, as they headed for his drama set.
"If she finds out that I'M the lead she'll definitely go back to the office and reject the offer, and besides this role might be good for her. The whole year and a half when she first debut in Dark Moon she never had a role that had a love line, this role might be able to broaden her horizon in acting." Ren tried to reason, but he knew all too well that, his manager of all people saw through his lies.
"I can see through your lies Ren, in truth you wanted Kyoko you to refuse the offer since there ARE three more other male characters that engages a lot with the character Himeko, therefore worried about the love rivals for Kyoko-chan, but if you tell her to refuse it you might slip, and it might show her your feelings right?" Yashiro smirked. Ren's hand twitch, as if he hit the nail on the mark. Seeing this made Yashiro smirk more evilly.
"Hmmm...so I was right, the Great Tsuruga Ren worried about some little rivals appearing." He giggled evilly. Ren scowled wishing he could throw his manager off the cliff.
"Well, I can understand where your coming from. I mean in these past year and a half, Kyoko grew into a remarkable women, and her fan club has been growing at a rapid speed., not to mention the attention she's been getting with the other actors and male talents." Yashiro smiled.
"There's also something else Yashiro-san..." Ren noted, as his voice got deeper in anger.
"Eh?"
"Though it may not be official yet, but look at the potential list of candidates for one three male characters." He almost growled, tightening his grip on his wheel. Yashiro flipped to the end of the pages where the list was, and his face cringed in fear, as he spotted the accursed name at the bottom.
"And may I remind you Yashiro-san, even though our characters Himeko and Natsume (Ren's character) are lovers in the drama, there's also a love RIVAL in one of the three male characters that fights against Natsume for Himeko." He added. Yashiro jumped from his seat and looked at Ren knowing where his charge was getting at. Though chances are slim that he might land that specific role, but that doesn't change the fact that there IS a chance. Ren continued to drive in silence as the anger in his eyes grew.
"Shou did you look at the new job profile I gave you?" the beautiful manager reminded.
"Shouko-san I told you I refuse, I don't even know why I even have to accept this lousy job, besides I'm not a actor so I don't know why Asami-san even thought of giving this job to me." Shou whinned, lying down on the sofa in the lounge room. Shouko noticed the paper lying perfect on the table as it was before.
"Shou many idols now a days act in dramas, take the boy group in JE (Johnny's Entertainment) KAT-TUN, that guy Kamenashi Kazuya has been in many dramas despite the fact that he's a musician. He's your senpai, so learn from him." His manager tried to persuade, as she took the paper reading the details. Her eyes moved left to right, reading the full detail on the role Shou might be acting in. Suddenly her eyes came to a stop as she realized the names of the co-stars.
"Actually your right Shou maybe this job isn't worth your time." the manager laughed nervously trying to crumble the paper, hiding it before her charge reads it. Noticing the sudden change in her attitude, the yellow haired idol got up as curiosity persuaded him to rethink.
"What's with the sudden change of attitude?" He walked towards his retreating manager.
"Show me...are you saying that I might not be able to handle the character? Is that it?" he began to raise his voice.
"No that's not it, its just that, your right you should just focus on music, why would an idol suddenly want to act right?" Shouko laughed nervously as she tried to hide the crumbled paper behind her back. Her back hit the wall unabling her to retreat any further. Shou took this opportunity and snipped the paper away from his manager.
"Well then let me see it, how hard you think the role would be that would suddenly make you change your mind? Shou frowned as he fixed the paper and skim through to find her name.
The Role of Himeko (main heroine)- Mogami Kyoko.
His eyes brighten at the name, and turned back to his manager.
"Shouko-san why didn't you tell me she would be in this drama! I change my mind I accept this job after all." Shou smiled evilly.
"That's right Kyoko, just wait, I'll beat you at your own game in acting, and make you hate me even more, than you can't help but think of me for your whole life!"
"Demo Shou look at whose the main male lead though." Her manager frowned. Shou snapped from his thought and looked as instruct. His eyes widen in shock, but then it quickly turned into anger. NO! THAT DAMN GOOD FOR NOTHING ACTOR IS IN IT TOO? AND NOT TO MENTION THE ROLE HE HAS. Shou growled as he glared at the name as if it was filth.
The Role of Natsume Heji (Main Male)- Tsuruga Ren.
