16. Princess-syndrome
522 Words
The girl was absolutely adorable. Kagome had no clue how such a sweet little thing had ever ended up travelling with Sesshoumaru, out of all people. She knelt down on the dusty road to greet the girl.
"Hello," she spoke kindly to the brown-haired girl. "I'm Kagome. What's your name?"
"My name is Rin!" the girl piped up and flashed the young woman a trusting smile.
"Nice to meet you, Rin-chan."
"Nice to meet you too, Kagome-sama!"
Kagome couldn't help but to smile.
"Here," she said then, digging out few sweets out of her pocket. "Take them."
"Thank you!"
The little girl curiously peeled off the wrapper and then cautiously licked the piece of candy. Her eyes widened in surprise and she quickly ate the sweet. Then, the girl impulsively threw her arms around Kagome's neck and hugged the woman.
"Cut! Great job everyone, let's take a little break!"
As soon as the shout reached them, Mamiko recoiled back, shot a disdainful glare at Satsuki, and then smoothed the front of her checkered kimono. Then, the 12 year old child actress turned around and stalked off, her nose high in the air.
Satsuki's eye twitched and before she could help herself, she had already thrust her tongue at the girl's retreating back.
She heard a chuckle and turned to see Narita Ken's amused eyes on her.
Embarrassed at having been caught during a childish moment, Satsuki blushed.
Quite deliberately, she turned her back at the charismatic actor.
Mamiko-chan was an impossibly disagreeable child. The little 12 year-old was the worst diva on the set, hands down. She was a spoiled little brat, and the fact that she seemed to dislike everyone didn't make her any more lovable to the others. She listened to the director like a good girl, but totally ignored the rest of the staff.
There was only one person who was in Mamiko-chan's good graces.
Narita Ken.
Like 'Rin' hero-worshipped 'Sesshoumaru', Mamiko-chan utterly adored Narita Ken. Her admiration for the charismatic actor, though, was not entirely as innocent as 'Rin's' was – Mamiko-chan was often jealous of any other female who held Ken's attention.
The girl's adoration caused much chagrin to Ken. He did not seem to be too fond of children in general, so it was rather evident that he did not like Mamiko-chan at all.
Despite his private opinion of the cursed little diva, he was always cordial to her. Ken was too professional to let his personal feelings affect his work relationships. Mamiko-chan's character 'Rin' was very essential for 'Sesshoumaru's' character development, and that alone forced him to at least be civil to the girl.
Satsuki, however, did not even maintain a civil relationship with the girl – but again, their feelings of pure loathing were mutual. Mamiko-chan hated Satsuki more than she hated anyone else on the set.
"Friggin' little miss princess-syndrome," Satsuki grumbled darkly to herself, still upset at the little diva's earlier behaviour.
Narita Ken was standing fairly close to the actress, and he had heard every single one of her muttered words.
He could not agree more. "Friggin' little miss princess-syndrome" described Mamiko-chan perfectly.
