Chapter 1

"Ms. Personality..." Kagome mumbled in resignation as she touched a black-velvet veil, which would be worn by the contestants on the show. "Ms. Bimbo in a Cat suit is more like it..."

She casually wondered which non-genius here at Kyoto Studios had thought up the show, where masked women would be competing for a bachelor, relying on personality instead of looks. "Obviously some idiot has no idea that some men don't even look at a woman's face."

More like the stuff below the neck...Which would be shown in ludicrously tight cat suits. (That's more than modest these days.)

"Did you say something?" someone gruffly asked.

She jerked her eyes from the veil. Faking innocence, she smiled at her boss, super-producer Daisetsu Kusunoki. "No. Not a word."

Kusunoki nodded, preoccupied enough to believe her. Not strange. Mr. Kusunoki had plenty on his mind than his lowly assistant. Kagome's job was to make his life as easy as possible, and to keep herself practically invisible while doing it. In fact he sometimes couldn't remember her name-but had given her a hefty raise after her first month on the job-proved that she did her part well.

"What time does the masseuse come in?" he asked, in a voice that unsettled almost everyone.

"At two. After your meeting with Mr. Hiyako."

Kusunoki grunted and rolled his eyes. sigh "Better make that two-thirty. Hiyako is chattier than a pair of chipmunks."

Kagome secretly grinned. Kusunoki called 'em like he thought them as and he was famous enough to get away with it.

Saying she was lucky to have landed this job was an understatement...working with him was a lifesaver. She had finally gotten her out of the crowded mailroom of her former job.

There was one other reason her career change had come at the perfect time...it had gotten her away from him.

"What time is Taoshi coming in?

Crap. Him...Sesshomaru Taoshi. The man her boss was meeting today, for a reason she could not fathom.

"Four." Her tone becoming snippier.

She was planning to make herself scarce before he came.

He regarded him as her "former colleague" though, he did not consider as such. No, the arrogant young director had never noticed her at all, though she delivered mail to his office every day for two damn years. Why would her notice her, a average height, prim, and quiet mail girl, when the man had a horde of busty actresses constantly trying to sleep err...audition their way into a Shikon Studios production.

She disliked thinking of Sesshomaru as being the type of director who had a casting couch- or cast from one. All the gossips said her did, but she wasn't so sure. Somehow it didn't clash with a person that she once saw coming out of an orphanage. But, then again even letches can be kind.

"I'm going upstairs to the smoking lounge."

After her boss left, she couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. Kagome lifted the silk veil, rubbed it against her, and then gave in to an impulse. She wanted to feel what the contestants of the show wearing these things would feel. She gingerly slid it on, surprised by the comfy feeling.

She glanced over to the mirror in her boss's bar, and stared in wonder. The veil covered everything on her head, except her eyes, making her almost look mysterious.

"Get a hold of yourself," she scolded herself, she was about as mysterious as a can of tuna. Boring, and dull little production assistants from the country were not mysterious.

Before she lifted the headpiece off her head and return to her normal self, she heard someone come in the office. She quickly whirled around bursting. "Sorry, I couldn't resist."

Then she looked closely at the person who entered. Suddenly she froze in place. Because...it wasn't her boss, or his secretary. No, she wasn't that lucky.

The person staring at her in interest and avid curiosity was Sesshomaru Taoshi.

Sesshomaru had shown up for his meeting with Kusunoki regarding something about a show, and had arrived at the reception area outside of his office only to find it empty.

Curious of his absence he had entered the office. Though he was thoroughly annoyed, he supposed the man was eating lunch at his desk, given the fact that it was lunch. So he had pushed the slightly open door and entered his office. No one sat at the desk, but the room wasn't empty either.

"Excuse me," he asked, staring at the person standing by the bar. It was a woman, beautifully figured woman, wearing...

"Is that an executioner's mask?"

Blinking frantically, she merely shook her head.

Perplexed, he asked," I was to meet with Kusunoki at noon, but apparently he's not present.

"Noon?" said the woman, who was extremely curvy beneath her tight black skirt and silky blouse.

The veil made her look even more sexy, making him feeling very intrigued. "Yes," he muttered, wondering why he was feeling tense all of a sudden. (How can you not know?!?!!?)

"I'm sorry, there must have been a mix-up, he just left."

Her voice was very soft and sensual, not much above a husky whisper, and it set him on edge. The whole package got him going. He stepped closer and closer, wondering if she'd take off the mask, or whirl away from him.

She did nothing. She just stood there watching him step closer. Finally, when he was simply inches from her side, she said," Maybe you should come back later."

Her voice echoed in his brain, so evocative. And, he suddenly felt like he heard it before.

He wanted to know who this mystery woman was. He had to know. Then maybe he would know why his reaction to her had been so strong. So quick and intense.

"Maybe you should take off the mask," he said in a husky whisper of his own.

A/N: What should Kagome do?? Muhahahaha!! -.- Sorry got carried away.

Does Kagome, 1) take off the mask or 2) keep the mask on?

Review please, will accept all forms of criticism (sniffle).. Hope it was okay!
