Take.02: Sudden meeting! Junior vs. junior!?

The day after commercial meeting, Dark Moon location …

A short black hair girl sitting in the corner while reading some script in her hands. She focuses reading it, and didn't realize a tall handsome guy sitting next to her. Yup, no other than Ren Tsuruga. Kyoko, wearing black hair wig, still didn't realize Ren's presence. Until…

"Mogami-san…" finally Ren talk to her. Kyoko suddenly snap out of it. She looks around her, and finds her senior, Tsuruga, smiling gently at her.

"Tsu-Tsuruga-san…I'm sorry; I was concentrating on my script. He he. Is there is something wrong?" Kyoko smiles at him.

"Oh, I see. No, nothing is wrong. I was just wondering what you are doing alone in the corner like this." Kyoko freezing. Actually, there's no special reason she's reading her script in the corner, or should I say, 'dark spot'. It's all because of her childhood, who always gets bullied by others. Now, she already find 'sitting in the corner' as a habit.

"Eh? He he he. I think its better to be alone in the corner like this while reading the script." Said Kyoko. Ren just smile at her, as usual.

"I heard from Sawara-san, you got a new job. A cosmetic commercial, am I correct?" ask Ren.

"Yes, I'm so lucky!" Kyoko hold her script and smiling.

"Lucky? How come? Because it's a cosmetic commercial?" ask Ren.

"That too! But… I can meet an idol princess. And be her friend! What a luck!" said Kyoko with dazzling eyes. Ren already used to the 'fantasy Kyoko', so he ignored those eyes.

"Princess?"

"Yes! She's so cute and beautiful. White skin, small posture, cute smile, beautiful attitude! She's an idol princess!" Kyoko looks so happy while talking about Miku Hayama, the 'princess' she just met yesterday. Ren rolls his eyes. He didn't really understand who's the princess Kyoko talks about.

"…? Who exactly do you mean?" ask him.

"Miku Hayama. Do you know her, Tsuruga-san?" Kyoko smiling cheerfully. Ren suddenly stop briefing (lol). He's freezing like turning to an ice statue.

"Miku Hayama? You mean…the one who always wears harajuku-style dresses?" ask Ren with scary look on his face. Kyoko's don't know what happened, but it's better for her to answer him quickly.

"Y-yes… a model, singer and actress. Start her debut as a model in magazine. Then get awarded as a top model in such young age. You can see her in "Zip! magz" cover this month." Kyoko answering.

"So it really is HER." Ren sighed. Now his scary face is gone, but an old man-expression is on.

"Err… do you know her, Tsuruga-san?" ask Kyoko.

"Huh? Well, yes…" suddenly, Ren looked worried and not focusing. Kyoko become more curious and curious.

"What actually happened between you and Miku hime-chan (a nickname she just made)?" Ren snap out of it when Kyoko ask him that. He's freezing and couldn't answer. But he forces himself to start talking.

"Ehm, we met in photo shoot for magazine. Back then, she's not popular as it is now. She had a lot of respect towards me. And I like her as a junior, and sometimes I even look at her as a 'little sister'…" Ren started to tell his story. Kyoko still listening without any comments on it. "…but then, she…" suddenly, Ren stopped talking. He can't get his eyes off from a girl who's standing behind Kyoko. She's smiling at him.

"What? What?" Kyoko getting more and more curios. What exactly happened between them!? Then Kyoko realize what Ren gazing at, and she turns around. She found a cute girl smiling at them. She's none other than Miku Hayama, the idol they're talking about!

"Mi-Miku hime-chan…"

"Hi there! What are you two doing in a corner like this?" she cheerfully greets them.

"H-hi…eh…nothing special." Kyoko answering. Ren still not talking, he's even not moving!

"Oh, I see. Ren-senpai, long time no see. How are you? What's with your expression? Is just like seeing a ghost!" Miku takes two steps closer to Ren. Kyoko surprised, Miku just called him 'Ren'!? While Ren sighing and smiling as usual. A sparkle gentleman smile.

"Long time no see, Miku. I'm fine, thank you. How about you? I can see you get more busier now." Ren greet her like his usual self. Kyoko freezing when she hears Ren called Miku by her first name.

Miku chuckles. "Oh my, but its nothing compare you, Ren-senpai. I still can't compete with your popularity." Said Miku. Ren didn't say anything, he just smiling at her.

"Err…sorry, but I…" Kyoko trying to get in to their conversation.

"Ah, sorry, Kyoko-san. You must be really confused, huh?" Miku turns to Kyoko. "But I think Ren-senpai already told you about our relationship. We're just a normal senpai and kouhai!"

"Eh…ah, yes… I know that, but…" Kyoko can't hold her curiosity. Are they really that close so can call each other by first names? While deep thinking, Director Ogata called them out. Ren hurries out and meet Director. When Kyoko are going, Miku hold her hands.

"E-eh?" Kyoko turns around. Miku looked at her with scary eyes.

"Kyoko-san, you're Ren-senpai's kouhai too, am I right?" she asks. Kyoko can't answer. She just nods because too afraid to talk.

"good then, let's do our best! Okay?" she smiling like her usual self. "o-okay…" Kyoko just don't understand. And suddenly, Miku's eyes become scarier now.

"…let's prove, who's the kouhai that Ren-senpai can be proud of! The real idol that can be said as Ren Tsuruga's junior!!" Miku in fire of 'Ren Tsuruga's junior' pride!! Though Kyoko still didn't get it, she understand what Miku just said was a challenge! What exactly happens!? Why the cutie idol princess become 'scary devilish idol'!?

Will Kyoko accept that challenge?! Wait for the next chapter!
