AN: I'm so sorry that this update took so long! I've been so busy with school and I've been sort of procrastinating which I totally feel bad about and will try super hard, not to do it again. But enough with the excuses! I'm thinking about changing this fanfic to M. I feel like it should be that rating because the manga is originally kind of risqué. Anyways, to make up for not updating for so long, I will try and upload another chapter tomorrow night! YAY! :) Look forward to it and please enjoy! Review! Because every time I get one, I seriously dance around. It's kind of embarrassing because my siblings ask if I'm crazy. Hehehe
Disclaimer: Not mine but I wish. The characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Ohmi Tomu. I do not own.
"Dialogue"
'Thoughts'
Chapter 3
'Those who descended from bat demons, by mating humans their demon blood thinned out throughout the generations. Thus, creating what we call today, Vampires.'
'I was now officially the private secretary of Kyohei Touma, Director of Touma Corporation. To find out more about the director, I had called my grandfather to send me information on vampires and luckily he had some scrolls in the storage.'
"Are you even human?! You…. You're a DEVIL!" yelled a man, who was pointing at the Director Touma in fury.
"Director Mita, enough for today…" His secretary soothed, leading him out of the office.
Kagome made sure that they closed the door and heard Kyohei scoff as he lit a cigarette.
"Not even human? Of course not. How dare he put me together with humans?"
Kagome rolled her eyes at the egoistic vampire, "Bastard…" She said under her breath, when she turned around she saw him lifting up the scroll she had been reading.
"Looking for weaknesses? Planning to escape?" He said lifting an eyebrow.
Kagome just scoffed, "Please, I don't need to look for your weakness when I can just purify your ass off. Besides, I take my job seriously. I accepted to be your secretary, so I want to make sure I'm the best service to you. To do that, I need to know what you need and what you have to avoid."
Kyohei looked thoughtful for a while but smirked, "Do what you want but this information is old and there are things missing. I hope you aren't as dumb to believe those stories, such as that we're immortal and the living dead, miko."
"Actually, we never know, you are human after all." Kyohei said smugly.
Twitching in annoyance, Kagome just smiled innocently as she asked, "This dumb miko wonders if you sparkle as brightly your ego is."
He stared blankly at her then walked into his office, ignoring her. Blowing a raspberry at the door, she smirked.
'No fun at all. But he is right, this scroll is out of date so I guess I'll have to see things for myself to truly understand vampires.'

'The director can move around in daylight as long as he avoids direct sunlight and he can eat human food even though he doesn't need to. The essential "meals" are once or twice a week, mainly woman's blood…and of course, they're corporation daughters or rich babes….. All of them develop signs of anemia but none seem to have turned into vampires. Also that part of "Vampires drink only the blood of maidens," my ass, its total bullshit. His women couldn't pass as virgins even if their lives depended on it.'
Then a thought of what happened the night of when she found out that he was a vampire made her blush cherry red. Jumping in surprise when the door opened, Kyohei came out with the woman, "Higurashi, did that arrive?"
"Yes, Sir." Grabbing the box, she handed it to him, "Here it is."
"What? Kyohei… Is this for me?"
'Well, yeah I chose it especially for you…but I think he might kill me for this.' Kagome sweat dropped.
"It's fantastic! Thank you!" The woman thanked Kyohei as she brought out a pure silver cross necklace. Kyohei smirked as he glanced at Kagome and gave her a look as if he could read her mind, "Here, let me help you put it on," he grabbed the necklace and put it on her.
'So he doesn't have a problem with that… okay, so just in case, what about this?' she thought, bringing out a mirror.
"Here's a mirror, if you please."
"Thank you! You're so thoughtful!"
Kagome made sure she angled the mirror so that both the woman and Kyohei would show. And sure enough his reflection did show. Kyohei ended up chuckling at his secretary's antics.
"What? Does it not suit me?"
"No, it's fine. Ignore me, here let me walk you to the car," he started walking her down but looked back at Kagome as he said, "You never know. If I stay here, someone might drive a stake through my heart…."
Kagome blushed as she pouted, "I was just trying things out! Jeez…..I wouldn't have done it hard….I could've healed him." A stake and a hammer were lying "harmlessly" underneath her desk.

Only a few minutes later….
"Higurashi-san."
"Manager Touma! Kaya-chan!" Satozuki Kaya blushed and smiled hello.
"So are you getting used to my brother? He has a difficult character, so it must be difficult for you."
"To tell you the truth, it is." She answered honestly, "So you better appreciate Manager Touma for having as your boss."
"Hai!" blushing as she answered and Manager Touma chuckled.
'Manager Touma is the Director's older brother. Until last month, I was his secretary's assistant and he was honest, open-hearted, and completely different from the director. He was the perfect boss and if you compared the two, it was like day and night.'
"Is he here?"
"He's absent right now… But I think he'll be back very soon."
"I'll wait for him in his office then."
'Manager Touma isn't a vampire and his father isn't either so I wonder if his family knows about the Director…'
"I'm glad you're getting along with my brother because he needs someone like Higurashi-san to fix his strong-headed personality," Manager Touma said as he looked out of the window in the office at the sun starting to set. When he turned to look at Kagome, "I'm worried about him, you can understand."
'He is soooo kind, different from the director.' Kagome smirked, giving Kaya a knowing look.
"I don't need your concern."
"Kyohei?"
At the door Kyohei answered in a cold voice, "I don't need you to babysit me. What did you come here for, Masaki?"
He started pulling down the blinds for Kyohei as he asked, "So you won't believe me if I said I just wanted to see my little brother?"
'So he did know that Director was a vampire…'
"Excuse me, but no. Hurry up and state your business."
"Would you come to the party at the end of next week?"
"I thought I told you, I won't."
"You have to show your face once in a while. We are all in the same company, but the only time anyone can meet you is during meetings. Father is getting angry." Manager Touma sighed as he continued, "And me and mother, we're worried about-"
"Stop it already!" Kyohei said in a cold voice, "I'm not like you. I don't want to know about my family or relatives. You are only a hindrance for me anyway, now beat it!"
'Why is the director being so rude to his brother and family? I know he's an egoistic bastard but even he's gotta have his reasons…'
All his older brother did was sigh sadly in response, "Kyohei… I've never thought of you as "different" from us."
Manager Touma started to walk out and as he did he apologized to Kagome, "I'm sorry, it's just the usual quarrel between brothers. I'll come again. Let's go, Satozuki-san."
"Hai, Manager Touma." Satozuki Kaya answered while giving a quick bow to Kagome.
Kagome gave a bow in goodbye and then stared at Kyohei trying to understand just why he was so bitter towards his family.
"What?"
"Nothing. Would you like anything else?"
"You like that, too?"
"That? All the female employees of the company admire the manager." Kagome answered, trying to see what he was getting at.
"Don't aim too high." Kyohei smirked.
"Shut it, vampire. It seems you misunderstood me." Kagome glared then moved on as if nothing happened. "Your next appointment is an official dinner with Mr. Akiyama from "Shinoda Products" and you have to depart at 5p.m. For today's meeting you will probably need me, so it was decided that I will accompany you. It's not a problem, I hope."
"Okay, fine." He dismissed her with the wave of his hand.
'The minute I start to sympathize or try to understand him, he acts like a total jack ass! Dumb, egoistic, son of a gun!'

In the car, on the way to dinner...
'His warped personality might be because he probably grew up to be the only vampire in the family and also to the fact people always said that his brother is perfect, gets to him…Being compared to someone better than you…..' Kagome smiled sadly, remembering the past. 'Ha! I know that only too well. Kikyo would've done this and Kikyo wouldn't have done that, how sickening, so much that I start to hate myself. The fact that his brother will probably turn out to be the next president leaves him no choice to hang onto his vampire identity to keep his pride and hold up his self-esteem.'
'We've arrived, sir."
To her view was a beautiful church and surprised she turned to look at the reaction of Director Touma. There was none as Mr. Akiyama greeted them and led them inside.
'Well, he was fine with crosses after all.' She decided.
Inside, the church was a restaurant filled with customers and along the walls were Christian based decorations.
"This is a beautiful place. Your wife is the manager, isn't she?"
"Yes. She purchased this church that was scheduled for demolition; the opening was only a few days ago." Mr. Akiyama explained, "The truth is, my whole family and I are Christians. At least we have a place where we can relax now."
"You have ordered a fine collection of wines, too." Kyohei said lifting his wine glass.
"I can give you a tour of the wine-cellar afterwards."

"I hope we'll soon have the honor of another visit."
"Thank you for your hospitality." Kagome bowed.
As they left the church immediately, Kyohei started to breathe hard and sweat.
"Director? Did you have too much to drink?" Kagome asked, reaching out to him.
"Don't touch me!" he lashed out at Kagome, jerking his arm away from her.
"Wha-?" She noticed his pale face and got worried, "Are you feeling ill?!"
"I'm fine."
"You don't look fine at all!" Kagome argued, getting close to him again.
But once again he pushed her away with his arm.
"I'm telling you to stay away from me. The way I am now, I can't be choosy even if I want to." He said, breathing hard.
"….You need blood, don't you?" She realized, "But why all of a sudden? You just had your "meal" today!"
"Kyohei-sama! The man you dinner with was a Christian?" the driver asked.
"Matsuhita!" Kyohei warned.
"The religion?! You're weak against the piety of Christians?! That's why you were fine with that cross and the necklace! But that building and everything in it belongs to the Akiyama family, who are pious Christians! That's why this dinner had such a bad effect on you…" Kagome was worried.
"Well, congratulations for finally finding my weak point. Happy?" Kyohei said.
That had just pissed off Kagome to no end, "YOU BASTARD! I'm your secretary! Even if you're an egoistic, arrogant, womanizing, jackass! Even if you are so uncooperative and a goddamn vampire on top of that… I still want to protect you. Yeah, sure sometimes I want to purify your ass and you annoy the hell out of me, but it doesn't mean I want you dead! I want to protect you! That's why I'm your secretary! Have more faith in me and get it through your thick skull!" She breathed hard and Kyohei stared at her, quiet and shocked while Matsuhita, the driver looked thoughtful.
"So what's your real condition?!" She said getting back into track.
Matsuhita answered for Kyohei, "His life-forces were drained during the meeting. All of his faculties are at their lowest."
"Matsuhita!"
"The source of life-force for the vampires is blood. The energy that was drained for some reason or another can be restored by drinking blood." Matsuhita continued.
"…So you need blood…"
"So hurry up and call someone from my list to…" Kyohei started but was interrupted by Kagome as she saw how bad he was getting.
"No….You can have my blood!"
They looked at her bewildered.
"Do you even understand what you're saying?" Kyohei said, not believing his ears.
"I understand. Even if it's hardly part of my duties as a secretary, but anyway you need blood now!" She grumbled, "Even if mine's not the high-quality blood you usually demand, it's a miko's so it should be a treat for you!"
Kyohei sweat dropped at that but his eyes softened as he sighed in defeat, "Admirable devotion you have, miko." He hovered over her and moved toward neck, "I wasn't just complimenting you, you know…." Kagome blushed at his closeness and his breath on her neck.
"This might hurt a bit." He said, licking her neck just as he bit into her neck.
"Yeah, yeah, let's get this over with…" She blushed as she further turned to give him easier access to her neck, "Ah…"
She restrained her powers back and slowly felt a shiver of pleasure go through her body. She felt warmth pool at the bottom of her stomach and felt her body heating up.
Kyohei was overwhelmed by her taste and the scent she was giving off. Slowly, as her hand that gripped his shoulders became loose, he entwined their fingers together, trying to press his body to hers as close as he could. Almost unable to come to his senses, he finally stopped and rested for a moment at her neck, inhaling her scent. He finally looked at her dazed and flushed face, looking into her cerulean eyes through her glasses.
'She's beautiful.' He thought then finally snapped out of it and pulled away quickly.
"Uhm…Director… If that wasn't enough…"
"If I drank until I was full, it's be bad for you. That was enough." Kyohei said, leaning against the window, trying to clear his head of Kagome's sweet scent.
"Matsuhita, call three other women for me." He ordered, needing to get rid of her taste.
"Yes, sir."
'Other women… Yes… I am just a "first aid meal' so of course he would need others. Why is my heart beating so fast? It must be the loss of blood.'
"Higurashi. You're very sensitive. You were quite tasty, must because you were a miko." Kyohei smirked.
Immediately, Kagome flushed and then got annoyed. "You're lucky, boss. That was miko-style delicacy. You won't taste it again anytime soon." Her bright cerulean eyes flashing in challenge.
"I will do my best to make sure you'll never have to taste it again, Director! I'll guarantee it!"
"Then I'm looking forward to seeing your skills, miko." Kyohei said, in anticipation of what the fiery miko would bring to his now amusing life.
