Chapter 1: Worthy Now?
"Atobe - sama! Please wait for me! I have your bento today and humbly wish for you to enjoy it!" A young girl who looked to be around 12 with long, black hair spoke as she followed a purple haired boy around.
"Arnn? Ore-sama will not accept any bento from any random commoner Moriguchi Natsuki. We're finally in the Hyotei Middle School Division and ore-sama will finally become king of the school. England had become too boring for me and ore-sama will not allow a commoner to follow him around when ore-sama does become king. Na Kabaji?" The little purple haired Atobe spoke as the strong built Kabaji replied back with his 'usu.'
"But of course Atobe - sama!" The emerald eyed girl spoke shyly as she continued on with her next bold statement. "But, Atobe – sama would you ever consider having me be your girlfriend?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth Atobe whipped around to face the scared girl.
"Did ore - sama hear right? Did the Moriguchi Natsuki, worthless little commoner Moriguchi Natsuki just confess to ore - sama Kabaji?" He condescendingly spoke while flipping his hair as Kabaji replied again with his one word answers.
Natsuki stared wide eyed at the boy she followed all the way from England for.
"Listen clearly Moriguchi. Ore - sama would never degrade himself so much to go out with you. You are clearly unworthy of ore – sama's presence. Perhaps if you were actually beautiful or had a talent to match up to ore – sama with then ore – sama would think about it but no. Ore-sama will not go out with you. Let's go Kabaji." Atobe turned around with a huff as he started walking away with an empathetic-eyed Kabaji trailing after him.
Natsuki's knees gave out from under her as the tears started to pour out of her eyes as she silently cried. She kept crying until the morning bell chimed signaling that beginning of homeroom. She slowly stood up before taking wobbly steps over to the trashcan and throwing away the pink bento that she had made for her precious Atobe Keigo. Her eyes grew harder with a steeling resolve until she dashed out of the building and ran all the way home.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..- .-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-…-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-..-.-..-.-.-.-…-.-.-.
"Natsuki – sama! Are you all right? I heard you scream!" A maid rushed into a young girl's room before rushing to the girl that was lying on the bed. "Oh dear!"
"I'm fine Layla. I'll be up in a moment, and I can dress myself today for the audition so please go onto the kitchen and have chef Sano start making me breakfast." Natsuki mumbled as she slowly began pushing herself off her heavenly bed. Layla curtseyed quickly and shut the door before running to the kitchen.
Natsuki sighed comically before walking over to the dresser and sitting herself down. She stared hard at the reflection and began to think about the nightmare she had moments ago.
Moriguchi Natsuki's appearance had drastically changed over the last few years from when she was a 12 year old girl. Her emerald eyes had gotten brighter and there was even a mischievous glint in them that wasn't present when she was a child. Her now blonde hair had been permanently dyed and kept in a medium-length braid. Oh, and she had boobs now too. The last bit annoyed Natsuki to no end. Whenever she was around town boys always drooled at the sight of her which made her want to go over to every single one of them punch them really hard in the gut. She had become beautiful.
You are not worthy
Natsuki hissed furiously as the same line kept replaying in her head as she picked out her outfit for the day; a pair of shorts and a plain white dress shirt with some cute dangling earrings to match and a pair of golden gladiator sandals. Her head told her to just walk over to Hyotei right now and punch the living daylights out of the pompous king of Hyotei. She lightly put on some eyeliner and mascara before deeming herself presentable and leaving her room and going down to the dining room.
"My little Natsuki is growing up so fast! Look at how beautiful our daughter is Kazuma!" Natsuki's mother, Moriguchi Reiko said excitedly as her daughter joined them at the table.
"I know Reiko. She's growing up! Oh, but Natsuki aren't you going for the audition today? Shouldn't you be in your Midoriyama Chuu uniform?" Her father spoke worriedly at Natsuki who simply began to eat her scone with some chocolate spread.
"It's okay father. Uniform is only mandatory on the school days. Plus, no one really cares…" Natsuki trailed off as she bit off a piece of her scone.
"So darling, what's the play this time? We're so proud of you for being the lead so many times but what will you be acting in this time? Anything new?" Her mother asked as they ate more of their breakfast.
"Coach Fujiyama mentioned that it's going to be Romeo and Juliet but she wants to try something new this time or something so who knows?" She spoke tiredly as she finished her scone and grabbed another off the basket.
"Well Natsuki we're proud of you either way, but many companies are calling again after your performance in Macbeth. Are you sure you don't want to try anything more professional?" Moriguchi Kazuma asked her daughter in a confused tone. Why she didn't want to try acting professionally was beyond her parents when practically all of Japan and America wanted their daughter to be in some kind of production.
"I'm good dad. Oh, I'm going to be late. Bye mom, by dad I love you guys!" Natsuki yelled over her shoulder as she grabbed her purse off the side table near the entrance of the house and dashed to the car that awaited her on in the front.
"Are you going to the school Natsuki – sama?" The driver asked as she nodded in response. As he started the engine and drove off, she started to wonder why she did end up rejecting so many offers to go on a more international stage. So many critics told her that she had the talent and the potential to go on to the professional world at her age of 15.
Natsuki decided to check her blog for any updates. The moments she turned her phone on however, she was greeted with many messages from the followers of her blog.
To Moriguchi – san:
Please consider joining our theatre troop!
From Sasaki Productions
She quickly deleted that one as she read the next one.
To Natsuki – chan:
Kyaaaa! Your performance in Macbeth was amazing! My friends and I went to see it and you were just breath-taking as Lady Macbeth! No wonder you're known as the Angel of our generation! You're going to be such an amazing actress when you grow up!
Sincerely Itou Mai
Natsuki smiled happily at the message. She worked hard over the years to gain that title as the Angel of the acting world. Ever since Atobe Keigo had shot her down, she transferred schools and even did a year abroad in America before coming to realize that she loved the theatre. She could be so many people and portray so many different personalities so easily! She just lost herself whenever she was up on that stage.
"Natsuki – sama, we have arrived. Would you like me to pick you up at around 3?" The driver asked politely as she shook her head.
"No not today. I'm going to walk around and maybe hang out with some friends but thank you." She opened the car door and waved to the man as he drove away.
Natsuki turned around to view the large school that stood proudly behind her. Midoriyama Chuu wasn't the best school, and they didn't win many awards for sports but ever since she joined the school drama club, they had been winning so many awards for her performances from all over the place. She smiled fondly at the nice memories before walking through the front doors and going straight to the auditorium.
"Moriguchi – chan! You were almost late!" Coach Fujiyama's voice boomed at her front the front of the auditorium as the students that filled the first six rows of the place all turned around to stare at her. "Come come child! You already know the lines of Juliet so come on! Just get up on stage and impress me!"
She smiled at her coach and just pondered on how she could have been so lucky to get such a great coach. Coach Fujiyama never stopped smiling and that just made Natsuki feel like she had a second, loving mother.
As she slowly made her way down to the stage she bowed to Coach Fujiyama and the man that stood next to her before she looked back at her coach. "Hey coach, whose going to be my Romeo?" Many boys' cries could be heard as she silently glanced at the audience with a bored expression. Honestly, all these boys were only here to try and hit on her! None of them could care less about theatre! The nerve of every single one of them was beyond her!
"I'll do it." Natsuki whipped her head around to be greeted with the sight of a good looking; blue haired boy around her age with glasses stepped out from the right wing of the stage and stepped forward.
"I'll have you know Moriguchi – chan that this man is actually very talented in theatre as well, but good luck! Recite from Juliet's monologue with Romeo under her windowsill!" Coach Fujiyama urged her as she looked back at the blue haired boy who only chuckled.
"My name's Oshitari Yuushi, but for now I'll be your Romeo." He chuckled again before winking at her to which she only rolled her eyes at. Really what boy didn't think they were all that?
Natsuki closed her eyes before reopening them with a kinder expression. "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet." She spoke as the audience became entranced with her performance.
"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" Natsuki was internally surprised; this Oshitari Yuushi kid might actually be good.
"'Tis but thy name that is my enemy: thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot, nor arm nor face, nor any other part belonging to a man. O be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet; so Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, retain that dear perfection which he owes without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, and for thy name, which is no part of thee,
take all myself."
Natsuki breathed out as she opened her eyes to see the audience on their feet cheering her name. She had done a mediocre job in her opinion but the audience still loved it.
"EEK!" She shrieked a bit to see Oshitari Yuushi grab her hand. He smirked at her like he knew that she didn't come in contact with males outside of theatre and started smirking even more when she started to blush.
"Sakaki – kantoku, I think we should decide on this girl to lead the troop for your new company." Natsuki gasped slightly as she realized that he spoke in a kansai accent. He had hidden it so well just a few moments ago during his line!
"Yes Oshitari, I believe you're right." The man next to Coach Fujiyama nodded to him before glancing at the coach that stood next to him who only nodded in reply. "Moriguchi Natsuki, I am going to offer you a huge deal. I am the head of the multi-million dollar Sakaki Corp. One of my personal hobbies outside running my business is coaching tennis at Hyotei Gakuen." Natsuki gulped nervously at the mention of her old school to which Oshitari raised an eyebrow at the notion. "It has come to my attention that you are the best actress in this region, no maybe even all of Japan for one of such a young age. Therefore, I am willing to pay for you to go onto the universal tournament that is to be held in Italy in the first week of September."
Natsuki's eyes widened incredibly at every word that was coming out of this man's mouth. This is exactly the moment she was waiting for. He was going to give her a chance to become famous world-wide! This could be her big debut into professional acting world! She had been waiting for a chance this big and was about to ecstatically answer that man, but he continued on with his speech.
"But, you cannot go on to Italy by yourself because, of course, there is always more than one role in a play. So I wondered for days on how to solve this problem before my tensai of the Hyotei tennis team standing right next to you offered me a solution." Natsuki looked at the boy standing next to her who was just smiling there innocently as if he knew that she would hate the words that were to come out of his mouth. "For every two weeks starting next week, you will be travelling around to the four schools: Shitenhouji in Osaka, Rikkaidai Fuzoku in Kanagawa, Seishun Gakuen, and Hyotei Gakuen in Tokyo for each month and lead the drama club in each school while scouting for potential actors in each school." Natsuki started paling at the thought of having to scout for specific people in the short time that she was given. "Oh, and your entire team must be made up of tennis players. Do you accept?"
Natsuki nodded nervously as her face began to get paler and paler and her heart started hammering against her chest.
"Oi Kantoku, this little lady here looks as if she is about to pass out." Oshitari Yuushi said as he put his arms around her shoulders to support her. "Oi you freshmen in the back, get her some water!"
A short boy quickly ran from behind the curtains as he handed the girl a water bottle which she greedily took and chugged down. She mouthed a quick thank you to the boy before standing up and brushing Oshitari's hands off of her shoulders.
"So Miss Moriguchi Natsuki, I'm guessing that you accept my proposition?" Sakaki Kantoku asked again for good measure before gave her a contract to sign.
Natsuki coughed a bit to which Oshitari patted to her back to, but breathed in before answering. "Yes Sakaki – san, I would be ecstatic to accept your offer."
