----------------Chapter 1-------------------

Well... It is a princess role. That is something. But this princess... She is so reckless. Not like what a proper young lady should act like. There were definitely similarities to Natsu. The boredom. Living a good and protected life, but bored, nearly to death. A heartless, seductive, bored princess. The demon princess.

It was probably because of Natsu she had landed the role. Yuzuki was a confident girl which life had to little challenges. Kyoko decided that to keep the model attitude would be for the best. Fortunately it would not be much bullying, so she might be able to wiggle herself a little further away from that image. The bullying was replaced by something else.

"No! I can not do it! I definitely can not do iiiiiiiiiiit!"

"But Kyoko, this will be a great chance for you. It will be your first lead role." Sawara-san had gotten used to her crazy outbreaks a long time ago. He did not have to look at her to know that she was either curled up like a scared squirrel, or doing some kind of weird movements, making her look like she was melting.

"I know, Sawara-san, but this character is so shameless! A young innocent girl like me could never gain the confidence to do all these things."

"Do what things, kyoko-chan?"

Kyoko froze by the sound of Yashiro's voice, fearing that Ren would be there. She would not want him to see her like this. All scared of a role. He would definitely be disappointed in his kouhai if he found out she still had this side to her. To her relief, he was alone.

"Nothing important Yashiro-san. It is just this new role I have been offered. I want to accept it, but I do not feel confident that I could act out some of her traits."

"I will get Ren to help you out then. You could try out different variations with him and figure out if you want to do it. When do they have to have your answer?"

"Not until next week, but I could never ask Tsuruga-san to help me out. He is so busy, and it would b-" Kyoko blushed lightly but was interrupted before she could finish.

"No worries. Ren's schedule is very free. He has been trying to accept a minimum of roles lately. I think it would be good for him to spend some time with you. He likes you very much after all."

"But Tsuruga-san helps me out all the time. I would not want to disturb him with my problems. especially when he is having some well deserved time off."

"Let me call him." Yashiro slipped on his glove. A little annoyed that she once again had ignored his hints about Rens feelings completely. This girl. Was she really not making any progress in the Love me section?

----------------

"I am sure I can manage on my own. If you have changed your mind that is?"

"Ah? No, not at all. I already agreed to help you. It is understandable that you would have troubles with something like this. This Yuzuki, she seems pretty.... Wild?" Ren were regretting having agreed to this. After reading the script he realized that this would be just as challenging for him as for Kyoko. Especially now, with the Cain/BJ roles in his system. There was a reason he wished to take on a minimum of roles right now. He could not be a 100% sure that his true self would stay in his cage. But he could not back out. Kyoko was sitting there with a cute look on her face. She anticipated a lot from him, and he would rather put his career on the line than to disappoint her. If he were lucky, he might get to deepen their relationship just a little bit. "I guess you would want me to be Hiroshi then?"

"Yes! Thank you very much."

The role was unlike anything Ren had ever acted before. He would never chosen something like this for himself. The personal servant, teacher and babysitter of a demon princess. He guessed that there would be some nice sets and overwhelming costumes in this production. Enough for Kyoko to fly straight in to la-la-land. However, the personality of the princess were more like a demon than a princess. She had mentioned that she hoped it would help her out of her bully-image. In Ren's eyes, this would be the worst bully she could ever play. Her only hobby seemed to be teasing and play a seductive game with the poor Hiroshi. Ren new that this could never end well. He wondered if Yashiro knew about this. Probably.

"Have you thought about how you want to do this role?"

"Yes. I will keep her somewhat similar to Natsu, like the request says, but make some small changes. I actually think it would be fine to play a 100% Natsu-like, but I need to challenge myself to become a great actress!" Kyoko was looking up in the air somewhere. She was getting so fired up that Ren could almost see her actors spirit blowing wind inn to her hair. Then just as quickly she went back to normal. "What I am not sure about, is if I dare to act out all those things she does to Hiroshi. Or if I am even able to... I have no experience in these kind of things..." A blush rose up in her cheeks and she sent him a shy look. Ren's first instinct was to offer her some help in getting that experience. He quickly shook that out of his head.

"It is fine Mogami-san. It is just acting. I will give you the help that you need."

"Thank you Tsuruga-san!" She was shining with relief. "I feel much better knowing I have you helping me out. You really are the best senpai I could get." She danced into the kitchen to make him dinner, like she had insisted on doing.

"Yeah... The best senpai." He wondered if, after this, he would lose that title. The word senpai hurt him a little, but it was certainly better than her hating him. He would have to work hard on keeping his cool.
