Hello everyone, this is my second story and again I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR ANYTHING FROM VOLTAGE. I make no money from my writing. If you're a fan of the voltage games, then I hope you enjoy this story. I add my own flare to the story.
Chapter 1
Interview Time
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and stepped into the casino.
Wow, the chandelier is sparkling. I feel like I'm in a movie.
My chief editor Kaname Sohma walked up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. He was a very handsome man; he copper-colored eyes and brown shoulder length hair made him so. He was an expressive man and was very kind and he knew how to treat his employees.
"You sure lucked out Kagome. You're the only newbie to get the pre-opening of Japan's first chain casino as a first assignment. You sure are lucky!"
"Definitely."
"There will be a bunch of celebrities too."
"It should be packed with great people."
I tried to keep it cool. I was really nervous and being surrounded by so many people made me a little bit uneasy. I felt like I was going to faint.
"Alright, time to get out there and get covering new girl!"
"Wait…what?"
Kaname shoved me forward and all I saw and heard were reporters everywhere.
"Mr. Tashio! Who are you bringing with you to this party?
There are so many big shots here! I'm going to get crushed to death by all the reporters!
"Our next movie will be shot in this casino…"
I was shoved again.
"ACK!"
Demons and humans are all the same…they're both very rude when they want something.
I was somehow squeezed to the very front of the area.
"Who are you?"
Inuyasha Tashio the actor? The buzz is that he's been seeing the actress Kikyo Kuran.
"Are you a reporter?"
"I-I'm Kagome Higurashi from the 'Shikon' editorial department".
"Ah, I see. Charmed. What's your question?"
I was finally able to breath. I looked at Mr. Tashio. He was extremely handsome. He wore a red casual suit with a white dress shirt underneath. He had beautiful golden eyes and silver hair that went down to his waist. On top of his head were adorable silver puppy ears.
Half demons don't always turn out this handsome. He's gorgeous! All right, calm down, he's just another person. Don't blow it.
"Well you're reported to be an item with the actress Kikyo Kuran. Can you confirm this?"
"WHAT?!"
I blew it. Damn it!
"What's your problem? Are you trying to start a fight or something?"
"I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
"Kikyo Kuran huh? She's a trillion times better that you at least. Satisfied?"
Ouch, he didn't have to say it like that. So much for the good personality I thought he had.
I heard another voice approach us.
"Geez Inuyasha, that was a low blow."
The man looked towards me and smiled.
"And you? You must be new to this huh?"
"I-I am."
"I guess it'd make you a nervous wreck having Inuyasha Tashio in front of you."
You don't know the half of it.
"Why are you sticking up for her? She's not your type!"
"Oh? I happen to like this type of girl Inuyasha!"
"Keh, you're a skirt-chaser. You don't have a type."
"Haha, I'll have you know that I'm pretty choosy."
The man took my chin in his hand and I was able to get a better look at his eyes. They were a violet color but they seemed to hold some sort of secret.
Oh no. His face is getting closer! Is he going to kiss me? I barely know this man!
"Um…"
"Relax, I was kidding…unless…you WANTED me to?"
He had a mischievous look in his eyes. He pulled away and I noticed something that I hadn't before; he has holy powers. He was a monk and a very handsome one at that! He was sporting the same outfit as Inuyasha except his colors were black with a purple dress shirt. He had his black hair tied to the nape of his neck in a rat-tail.
"Hey, let's ditch this press, and the wench."
"Sure thing. I'll see you around new girl."
He turned away and I caught the ends of their conversation.
"You know, you didn't have to call her a wench."
"Keh."
I had heard that Inuyasha Tashio was self-centered but that left me really put off. That other man was a bit flighty as well.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice my editor approach me.
"Hey Higurashi, that was great! You got to meet two big shots already!"
"Two big shots?"
"Yeah! You were talking to Inuyasha Tashio at first and the other man was Miroku Houshi, the author!"
"WHAT? You mean THE Miroku Houshi? The god of romance novels?"
"Did you get to know each other? I bet the literary section would eat it up if you did! After all, publishers everywhere are scrambling for Houshi's new novel."
I had no idea that I had met one of my favorite novelists! He seems different from the image his books give off.
We'll here's the first chapter of Love in the Sleepless City! I hope you enjoy it! If you would like, please review, if not I'll still see you in the next chapter!
