"So what exactly is it you want to achieve from this meeting?" Kagome asked as she walked next to her father.

"Mr. Nishikawa is the pioneer when it comes to medical research, recycled material for construction, as well as technical advancements in almost everything. Meaning he has resources that I'd like to get a hold of, while I have certain resources he wants."

"So basically, a trade and this is the first in negotiations."

"That's my girl."

Kagome smiled at his praise, liking it more than she would have thought. Before they could both enter his office, a secretary approached her father saying something had come up and required his immediate attention.

"Could you tell Mr. Nishikawa I'll be a few minutes late?" at her nod, Kagome watched as her father quickly walk away with his secretary and reading over some handed files.

Turning about Kagome entered her father's office and closed the door behind her. Taking a deep breath she approached the seated man with a polite smile and opened her mouth, already announcing that her father would be a few minutes late.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark will be here... You?!" she took half a step back in shock.

Seeing the male raise a brow as he turned towards her, she could only stutter at the single word that was returned to her.

"Miko."


AN: Well- I originally had her call out his name, but I like this way better. Now you've all been guessing who Mr. Nishikawa is, you clever-clever people, but I will neither agree or disagree with these speculations. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
