If there's a prize for rotten judgment, I guess I've already won that

Her whole life, Mizuki spent chasing after man after man who would just turn out to be the biggest sleaze balls in the world. Every single guy she seemed attracted to or those who were attracted to her had something wrong. One of many had been a criminal on the loose and used her to make a clean getaway from a robbery and a big fine for 'helping a criminal'. Another stayed with Mizuki for her money- she later found out he was sleeping around behind her back. Needless to say her luck in man had been pretty horrible and had officially sworn off any kind of relationship with that of the apposing gender.

No man is worth the aggravation.

The worst yet had been one man she fell desperately in love with, he was everything a woman could dream of- Mr. Tall-Dark- and Handsome. To Mizuki, it had been love at first sight- but the man had walked out of her life just as fast as he came… but with another man at his side. Mizuki always told herself if he had at least left her for another woman it would have been less painful. It was one thing every girl had a fear of- turning a man gay.

That's ancient history! Been there – Done that.

To say she never looked at another man again would be a lie. One man in particular had caught her eye recently and Mizuki found it hard to get him off her mind. His name was Sesshomaru and he happened to be one of the most successful CEO's in all of Japan. His company had just reached the top of the charts and in honor they were having a celebration for Sesshomaru's hard work.

The problem her fascination with Sesshomaru was that- one, she promised never to look at someone of the male gender again and two- he was her boss.

Who'd ya think ya kiddin'? He's the earth and heaven to ya!

Mizuki's two best friends, Kagome and Sango have told her one to many times she was head over heals for the drop dead gorgeous CEO. On a number of occasions Kagome had unsuccessfully tried to set the two on a blind date, for her fiancé happened to be Sesshomaru's half-brother – but both either canceled or just down right denied.

Tried to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through ya. Girl you can't conceal it, we know how you feel and who you're thinking of

The young woman couldn't even remember when she started to see her boss in a new light. Mizuki had worked as Sesshomaru's secretary the moment she quit her college career- which was a little over five years ago. Never once had she thought anything romantic about the serious business man. Mizuki thought he was quite boring actually; he went to work early in the morning, stayed over time and sometimes stayed all night locked up in his stuffy office of the twenty-fourth floor, glued to his desk doing some sort of paper work, or typing madly away at his computer. The truth is the only time she ever really saw him was when she brought him coffee or his mail.

Mizuki went as far as to call him an asshole when she first starting working with him. He had never once acknowledged her when she brought him something other than a grunt or a nod. The first time she even heard him talk… no scratch that the first time she even heard his voice, he was yelling at some employee who ended up being fired on the spot. She was kind of glad he never gave her that much attention after that and she had even cried for the person, she was so scared from the anger being admitted from the man. Mizuki being only nineteen at the time felt rather intimidated and never spoke ill of him again, scared she to would be at the other end of his anger.

No Chance, No way! I won't say it no, no.

Weeks past, then months, and then a couple of years had past and soon Mizuki found her mind wandering off every now and then thinking of the anti social CEO. Their work relationship had progressed; he acknowledged her, called her by her name and even held brief conversations when she brought him in his coffee and mail or even paperwork. And somewhere in the middle of it all- she fell in love. Of course Mizuki wouldn't admit it to anyone… not even herself, besides; Sesshomaru was her boss they had to keep their relationship strictly business.

You swoon you sigh why deny it uh-oh.

One thing Mizuki loved about working in an office was the rumors and gossip you heard. She heard someone once ask if Sesshomaru was gay because he was too drop dead gorgeous for a man to be single and never seemed to take interest into woman. The person who replied said that he was very much straight and it wasn't that he wasn't interested in woman, woman in fact through themselves at him but once they heard or met his adopted daughter, Rin, they ran in the opposite direction.

Mizuki waited a few days after she over heard the conversation to ask Sesshomaru about his daughter as she delivered coffee to him. The business man was in shocked for a moment or two but quickly recovered. Sesshomaru studied her with an unreadable face for another three minutes- thinking she had brought something up that was out of bounds she had hurried to get out of the office but she was too late and got called back with the sound of his stern voice.

He had called her back telling her Rin was just fine, but Sesshomaru wanted to know how Mizuki knew about her. Looking away Mizuki had replied sheepishly that she heard threw office talk and wanted to know more about what she had heard. They spent the next hour or so sitting and talking about the CEO's adventurous young daughter. It was the first true conversation she ever had with Sesshomaru and it possibly made her fall deeper in love with the man. The way he talked about Rin and how he treated her was just so heart warming.

It's too cliché, I won't say I'm in love.

Cliché. It wasn't an understatement Mizuki's whole life was a cliché. She was undeniably in love with a man who happened to be her boss. It was a case of the classic secretary and business man relationship scenario. Mizuki often had fantasies of late nights at the office, falling madly in love, getting married and living happily ever after- but she knew this wouldn't happen.

I thought my heart had heard its lesson. It feels so good when you start out.

Now are this company celebration, she couldn't even lay eyes on the man in question without her heart stopping and becoming very red. The feeling of being in love was wonderful, but it was one of the parts she feared the most. To feel this way you had to become attached to the person leaving it harder in the end to let go and dealing with heart break.

The worst part of the night had been Sesshomaru had shown up with another woman by his side. Her name was Kagura, who could also be known as an office slut. She didn't work for the company, but Mizuki had known her from school, and it was needless to say Kagura was the same back then as she was now.

What Mizuki was most grateful of at that moment in time was both Kagome and Sango were invited to the company party because both their significant others worked under Sesshomaru as well. The two girls sat with the secretary trying to comfort her but it was no use- Mizuki still refused to admit she was in love with Sesshomaru. Kagome and Sango were starting to think Mizuki was hopeless.

My head is screaming get a grip girl, unless you're dying to cry your heart out.

'Ugh, I hate this!' Mizuki thought as she glared at her boss and his hussy of a date. "What was he thinking, she's such a whore!"

"Somebody is jealous," Sango mumbled to Kagome, who nodded in agreement.

"I am not jealous," seethed Mizuki as she slammed her fist down on the table, gaining attention from the people around them.

"Well then you sure are a good actress," stated Sango rolling her eyes.

Kagome giggled and added, "She has a point you know, sitting here and getting mad about Sesshomaru's choice in date doesn't look well in the 'I'm not Jealous' categorize."

You keep on denying, who you are and how you're feeling! Baby we're not buying, Hon, we saw ya hit the ceiling.

"I am not jealous! She's just going to end up like all the other girls anyway, running away the minute she finds out about his daughter!" Mizuki said quietly trying to defend herself.

"That may be true," said Kagome pointedly. "But that's for him to worry about, not you.

"Why can't you just admit that you're in love with him," said Sango stuffing a spoonful of food in her mouth, Kagome started wide eyed at her and Mizuki glared.

Face it like a grown up, When ya gonna own up. That you got, got, got it bad.

"I am not in love with him." Mizuki crossed her arms and started pouting like a two year old.

"Ha-ha that's really mature," commented Sango sarcastically.

"Personally I think you got it bad for a certain CEO," said Kagome looking over at where Sesshomaru was talking to her fiancé, his half brother Inuyasha and Sango's boyfriend Miroku.

"You're insane." Mizuki stood up from the table they were sitting at and walked away from her two best friends.

No chance no way I won't say it no, no.

Give up or give in, Check the grin you're in love.

This scene won't play; I won't say I'm in love.

You're doing flips read our lips your in love

You're way off base I won't say it, Get off my case I won't say it.

Girl, don't be proud it's okay you're in love.

Mizuki stood out on the balcony looking out into the courtyard below thinking of a good excuse to quit her job. Although she couldn't say it to her friends, she finally admitted to herself she was undeniably in love with Sesshomaru. Seeing him tonight with that slut, Kagura had made her realize how much she truly cared and now she couldn't stand to be working for him another day knowing that she was in love with her boss who would never return her feelings.

So far she had come up with she was going to move away to be closer to her family or she was offered a better paying job somewhere else. As she stood there in the moon light thinking of more excuses she didn't notice someone else step out of the people filled hall onto the veranda.

"Are you not enjoying yourself Ms. Takahiro?" asked a deep voice from beside her.

Startled Mizuki turned to face the mysterious voice and was met with the amber eyes of her handsome boss. With a hand on her heart she replied. "Oh god, you scared me!" turning back to stare out across the courtyard again she continued. "No, I just… needed to get away, you know?"

Sesshomaru stared at Mizuki for a moment and responded, "No, I don't think I do."

"It's complicated," she sighed.

"Care to explain?"

"Shouldn't you be in there with your date?" she asked, glaring up at him.

"That's why I'm out here, I am trying to hide from her!" growled Sesshomaru.

"Little miss perfect turn out to be not so great?" Mizuki asked laced with venom and sarcasm.

"Are you jealous?" smirked the CEO.

"No, I just think she's a whore who's after your money!" she said in defense.

"You know what I think?" he asked walking closer to her. "I think you're jealous of her, and are just too scared to admit it!"

"Well… you thought wrong." Mizuki started backing up but was stopped by the railing. 'Oh god, this isn't happening.'

"Did I?" he taunted still getting closer and closer to her by the second- next thing she knew he was so close to her, she could feel his breath on her skin. Mizuki was lost for words, her mind stopped and her heart was racing. Sesshomaru started to lean in closer (if that was even possible) and now their lips were barely touching. "Because I don't think I did." And with that he captured her lips in a rough but gentle kiss- but as soon as it started it was over and he was walking away from her and back into the Ball room.

At least out loud I won't say I'm in love.
