For all of his easy-going reputation, it was very rare to see Narita Ken out in public with a woman. What further puzzled the man sitting hidden in a corner table and watching how the two animatedly chatted with each other was that he thought he even recognized the woman.
Yukino Satsuki, the newcomer in the industry that had managed to land a leading role in the upcoming TV drama, Inuyasha. There had been a lot of hype going on lately about the show, even though it had not even begun airing. The setting of the drama was unique, and it had a superb casting. He had a strong vibe that it would become a hit, and his vibes had never yet failed him.
Now, as he watched how Yukino excitedly told Narita about something, and seeing the way Narita smiled at her in return, made him feel very, very curious. It was an occupational hazard, and he couldn't help it. Seeing the two interact just begged the question.
What exactly was Yukino Satsuki's and Narita Ken's relationship?
They had a column in their magazine, where they would feature a new talent every month. The deadline for next month's column was in a few weeks, and just the other day they had had a meeting considering whom to interview this time. He had actually tossed Yukino Satsuki's name in the mix himself.
After all, his vibes were telling him Inuyasha would skyrocket, and with it, most probably, Yukino's acting career.
The casting had been very specific, and director Takahashi has the reputation for perfectionism. The girl had to be something special.
Very special indeed, having caught Narita Ken's eye.
The reporter grinned to himself as his gaze locked on the young actress.
It was about time he contacted Yukino's manager.
He really wanted that interview.
