When I was young, my father always let me watch scary movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street.

You name it I've seen it.

My absolute favorites are Nosferatu and Dracula. Call me basic or call me weird, I love both of them. Unfortunately, the foundations of vampire horror were tarnished by today's generation for example the famous Twilight. Why fans love it? They must really be desperate for a romantic novel.

Not that I'm one to judge…its just…glowing vampires? There's just no excuse.

I had always thought being with a vampire would be cool and I knew that as crazy as it would be, I always wanted to meet one.

Unfortunately, there was no time to think about those types of things while taking care of my little brother, Souta. I took over my father's café, Goshinboku, finished college and became a moderately successful in my life.

It was hard, but I had made enough for Souta and I to live comfortably. Without the help of our mother and with only the help of the café my father had left for me after his passing, I had made it.

Now if only I could find a guy that fit my description. Nothing too high, just someone who is caring, handsome and has the same interest as I do but also has his own interest as well.

"Kagome! This isn't the time to be daydreaming! The café is filled with customers," I heard my friend Eri call.

I smiled at her as I flicked the dust off my apron and jogged to the front of the café. I greeted all the customers while my other friend, Yuka, escorted some of them to their tables.

Not once did I think that the moment he walked in that my life would change. But the day, InuYasha walked in. I have to admit he had me the moment I saw that smirk of his.

"Can I have a table for five please?" he said to me.

He had the cliché bad boy vibe that nice girls like me shouldn't be into, but could you blame me? Girls have a tendency to go for the bad boys, even when we don't want to.

"Hello? Did you hear me?"

I really needed to stop spacing out.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Will the rest of your party be joining you soon?" I said in my professional voice.

"Maybe they will. I don't know."

Vague answer. Maybe I should keep this one, Eri and Yuka wouldn't be happy if they got this table and didn't get a good tip. I escorted him to the back where we kept rooms for the larger parties; I could tell he was dragging his feet even though I was in front of him.

"Please have a seat. Would you like me to wait for the rest of your party before you order?"

He ignored me as he took a seat and looked at the menu. Finally, he glared my way and just asked for water.

I smiled and went to the back to get his drink when Eri and Yuka trapped me in the kitchen.

"Kagome! You sly dog, you took that hot customer all for yourself," Yuka had teased.

I rolled my eyes trying to play it off, but I could feel the heat grow in my cheeks.

"I'm not interested and I don't date customers," I said turning away from them praying they didn't see the redness on my face.

"Yeah right! You're practically blushing!" Eri continued.

Damn it.

"Listen guys, we can talk about this later. We have customers to attend to," I scoffed as I went back into the main room.

As I approached the table that he was sitting in, I noticed he wasn't alone. As he had stated there were four other people there or should I say two other couples.

"Good afternoon, my name is Kagome and I will be your waitress today. Can I interest you in our award-winning parfait?" I said, putting on a bright smile.

They were definitely a weird bunch and coming from me that's saying a lot. As I took their orders I couldn't help but take them all in.

Their clothes were definitely designer brand and the girls wore flawless make up that I've only dreamed of pulling off. The men were cute; they kind of made the other guy look a bit plain as he sat there in just a hoodie and jeans. One of them wore a suit while the other wore pants and a silk blouse.

Compared to me, I was just really plain old Kagome. Always wearing cardigans of some sort, regular jeans and tennis shoes. Not an ounce of make up on and my hair barely done in any sort of high fashion. Not to say anything was wrong with me, I was comfortable in my own skin and I was happy just the way I was.

Wasn't I?

After taking their orders, I went to the back to leave them to themselves and delivered the order to my uncle, Erik who was our main patisserie.

"Uncle, do you think I'm ordinary?" I asked while I waited for the order to be done.

"Are you serious?" he said, giving me his annoyed look.

"I'm serious. I mean I've had enough money saved from shop and I don't dress like a business owner and I could do my hair once in a while." I babbled. "Maybe then I could attract a boy."

"Kagome Higurashi, I'm gonna you this one time. In the time I've spent in France, it isn't the most money you have; it's about how people carry themselves."

My uncle had spent sometime in Paris studying different types of desserts and mastering his technique. If it wasn't for him, I don't know how I could afford to keep this place going.

"Now get out of the kitchen, I need absolute concentration to finish this topping."

I smiled as I walked out, almost immediately I noticed Eri and Yuka were have yet another altercation with a customer.

"Don't think that just because I'm wearing this uniform that I wont punch the crap out of you!" Eri exclaimed.

"Yeah! No one talks to my best friend like that." Yuka decided to add on.

Erik looked at through the window of the kitchen and gave me a look. I knew that he wanted me to fire them, but how could I? Yuka, Eri and I have been friends since the elementary school. I knew they had a temper when I hired them, but they were the only people I could find on short notice when I had redesigned the café.

I sighed as I walked over. After explaining who I was the customer was more than happy to let me know what was going on.

Apparently Eri had given the customer the wrong order; of course Eri being the person she is refused to believe that she had made a mistake. The customer then told Eri that she was being ignorant and wanted to see the manager. Eri already knew she had a couple of strikes with me so immediately caught an attitude.

What more could I do but beg the customer for forgiveness, I even offered to give them free desserts for a month. It seemed like he didn't want to hear it and simply said get better staffing and he would probably come back.

I clenched my fist in anger. This was the fourth time this month that this had happened soon Eri and Yuka's stupid antics would run me out of business, and then I couldn't provide for Souta anymore.

I would deal with this later. I couldn't appear weak in front of my customers. I ordered Eri and Yuka to get back to work and we would discuss this later.

I retrieved the tray of desserts for the table in the back and gave Erik a knowing look. He gave me a small smile as he gave me thumbs up. As I approached their table, I could hear parts of their conversation.

"I don't need you guys telling me how to run my life. If I wanted a girlfriend, I would get one."

"Please little brother, even if you did want one, who would be out of their mind to date you?"

"Sesshomaru, that's not nice!"

'Sesshomaru? Such an old fashioned name. He and the other guys are brothers. Now that I think about it they do look alike.' I thought as I set their food down on the table. I guess they didn't mind me because they continued their conversation.

"He does have a point, Rin. After all someone would really have to be tolerant to InuYasha's abuse."

The woman who said this was extremely beautiful! I mean now that I was up close to her; she looked so elegant even with her black eyeliner and red lips. Her hair was as straight but somehow it had some life in it a lot of movement that I couldn't describe it. I had to stop myself from looking at her for too long.

Sesshomaru was a bit different from the other two boys, not just in his looks but his whole bravado. His black hair was irregularly shiny and looked so silky, I was so tempted to touch it. His face was completely structured and his complexion was everything any girl could dream of having. Yet, his eyes were dead and he had deep scowl marks around his mouth area.

I assume her name is Rin, but I still wasn't completely sure. But how cute could this girl get? Was she even eighteen yet? Talk about baby face. She wore her hair in vigorous curls. Her eyes matched her bright smile as she gave me a wink. I couldn't help but smile back at her.

The next guy that had sat in the corner by the elegant woman came across as cocky to me. His style was a bit more casual than Sesshomaru's but his swagger was pretty much on point. His hair was a lot shorter than the other two but it only made his face stand out more. Confidence exuded in his smile and he brushed his hand against mine as I placed his mint surprise ice cream in front of him.

Finally, now that I was close enough, I could see this guys face properly. The hood that was covering his face was now down and I could tell the blush on my face was clear. For some reason, I didn't care.

This guy was beautiful.

His eyes were golden brown. No I'm not kidding you; they had gold tints behind them. Chocolate brown was the best way for me to describe his hair color. It was like Erik had prepared some chocolate and this guy just dyed his hair in it. Shiny and probably so soft, my hands were itching to touch it. He took a glance at me and for a moment, it seemed like he was trying to avoid my gaze.

'Damn it, Kagome! Stop looking at him.' My subconscious kept screaming at me, but I couldn't listen.

Their laughter was what pulled me out of my thoughts. I must have really zoned out, because I didn't even notice that Rin had accidentally spilled her iced caramel macchiato on Sesshomaru's suit. I quickly got some napkins from the pocket in my apron and began patting the wet spot on his leg while apologizing profoundly.

I could hear a growl from behind me; I assumed that it was Eri's dog. I had told her to stop bringing her hear. Not that I minded the dog, but I had to maintain food safety in this place. I turned around thinking I would see the cute Shitzu; instead I got something that scared me to no end.

What I saw had to have been the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

Rather than stand like a scared little girl, I decided to put on my big girl face and stood up and walked away. I instructed one of the other workers to take the bill and keep the tip too. I obviously needed a break.

I had to have been bugging out. There was no way that, that guy was growling at his brother.

No way.

Right?
