Enishi Yukishiro, the genius behind the top-selling, wildly imaginative video and computer games featuring vampires and demons, was looking for a new graphic designer.  Enishi had graced the cover of nearly every magazine that counted.  And he was intrigued in Kaoru's samples to request a meeting.  If it was one thing Kaoru knew about herself, was the fact she was talented.  She only hoped her appearance could help her land the job.  Usually her appearance was youthful making her look younger then her normal age, which was the age of twenty-three.  She was competing with more experienced designers then herself.

                  As Kaoru walked into the restaurant, she saw a different life, she never expected to see.  In the restaurant soft music can be heard from a distant, in the ceiling beautiful crystal chandeliers showed off its glitters, and beautiful jungle plants giving the restaurant a glamorous look.  Kaoru was awed at the sight in front of her.  The room was divided into small little nooks, its huge fireplaces, gave it a huge warm intimate feeling.

               "I'm meeting Mr. Yukishiro.  Has he arrived yet?" asked Kaoru giving him the best polite smile she could put on.

               "Right this way," said them man, nodding in approval, as the young woman stood before him.  He led her to the number one, most important matter in Kaoru's life that would determine her faith.

               Enishi Yukishiro almost choked on his scotch as the beautiful Kaoru Kamiya approached his table.  He often brought his dates into this restaurant, but this young woman was a decided improvement.  She was on the short side, slender but with full curves and fantastic legs.  Her large sapphire eyes were fringed with dark lashes, her mouth lush and sexy.  Her raven hair was twisted into a sever chignon that emphasized her classic bone structure and high cheekbones.  She didn't seem aware of the attention she was creating, the young waiter, seemed to look like he was escorting royalty.

               Enishi watched her every detail, making sure he was not missing out a thing from her.  From her appearance alone, she looked cool and untouched.  He knew just by watching her, she needed this job, and even though he was fifteen years her senior, with money, influence, and fame, he could make her or break her.  He made sure to enjoy every single pleasure of time while he was with her.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Yukishiro," she said softly as her melodious voice played over his skin like fingertips.

               "Yes it a pleasure to meet you Ms. Kamiya," he said back softly, watching her with his aqua eyes, as he took her hand gently and kissed it.  Her sapphire, which captivated him, the most carried so much innocence, while the language of her body spoke of sexiness, and being untouched.  Enishi wanted this woman.  Never in his whole life had he ever wanted a woman, as much as he wanted this woman, and he set his mind on claiming her as his.  "Shall we sit?"

               Kaoru smacked herself mentally, for not taking a seat in the first place.  Now she wondered what he must think of her.  She took her seat as gracefully as she could; meanwhile she clasped both of her hands together, to help her nervousness.  She didn't know how to start off the conversation, and the look in his aqua eyes made her ever more intense, and nervous.

               "This is a beautiful restaurant.  Do you often come here?" she asked pleasantly, trying to sound polite as she can possibly sound.

               Enishi felt his heart leap.  So Kaoru was interested in him as a man?  Why else would she ask such a question?  It sounded like she was fishing information from his personal life.  He lifted one eyebrow and smiled a refreshing smile.  "It's my favorite restaurant."

               He continued to look at Kaoru, with the smug look in his eyes.  She shrugged it off, as she started to talk on a professional level with him.  "I've brought some sketches with me.  Some samples, ideas you had for your next game.  I've known you've been using John Randolph's pictures for your next game.  He's very good, very artistic and talented, but I don't think he can capture what you envision.  I see so much darkness, so much power, so much more."

Enishi was startled.  He couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.  Everything the young woman said was true.  Yes John Randolph, a famous computer graphic designer was talented, and very creative, but he wasn't able to draw the pictures as Enishi envisioned them.  That was the main reason why he requested this meeting with this young woman.  Her drawings captured his every detail; it was like the both of them shared the same mind.  However Kaoru's professionalism irritated him.  She looked so cool and untouched.  And from the way she acted, she only wanted to talk business with him, when usually women would throw themselves at him.

               On the other hand, Kaoru saw the annoyance and irritated look in his eyes.  She knew she got off at a bad start with him.  She never expected that to happen.  She needed the job desperately, and making a more feminine approach to him, seemed like her last way out of this desperate situation.  Situations like this always happened to her.  She sighed inwardly.  She never seemed honestly attracted to anyone in their neighborhood due to her responsibilities with her younger brother Yahiko.  Now she secretly thought she was truly frigid.  But she could fake it if she had too.

               With Enishi's next comment, it proved her right.

               "Don't you think it's too early to talk business?" he asked softly.

Kaoru blinked away a gorilla from her mind and give Enishi a flirtatious smile, while he poured her Champaign.  They talked as a normal couple would when they were on a date.  Enishi every now and then held her hand, when he made warm simple comments to her.

               She managed to get away from him once to check up on Yahiko.  She found him sitting with Henry playing Black Jack.  She smuggled some food for Yahiko, making sure her little brother was all right.  She hated to be apart from him; after all he was the real reason why she lived.  It was all for him.

               "Go back inside, will you.  You have a job to get.  Did you forget that?" demanded old Henry, as he looked Kaoru with a gentle smile on his face.

               "No I haven't forgotten, just make sure you take care of him old man," Kaoru said as she walked back inside the restaurant to take her place beside Enishi.  But before she could enter the restaurant, she felt the wind pick up, blowing the sea towards land.  The mist was seeping in, shadowing the trees and other things.  Kaoru couldn't help but run her hands over her arms.  It wasn't all that cold, but the atmosphere felt different, almost like there was something-evil heading towards this way.  It took all her courage, to put her surroundings in back of her mind, as she entered the restaurant.  She made her back to the table reserved for her and Enishi.

               Meanwhile Enishi liked the attention he was getting.  Every man envied him tonight, because he was here with a beautiful, intelligent, and attractive young woman.  As he saw Kaoru approached their table, he couldn't help but be enthralled by her beauty.  There was something about her that made him think about long nights, full of untamed passion.

He ran his long fingers on her hand, as if examining her.  "You're cold," he observed.  He acted like a blundering schoolboy, while she acted cool, her untouched siren, making him squirm.

               "On my way back from the ladies room, I couldn't help but take a step outside for some fresh breeze.  The sea looked so beautiful tonight, but it seems to be acting up a bit."  Her eyes seemed to hold a thousand secrets, while her long lashes covered up every emotion behind them.

               Enishi had to find some way to control his feelings for this young woman.  Somehow she was the only woman he ever met, who made him feel this way.  She made him want her, desire her, making him want to claim her as his.

               Kaoru sat herself down beside Enishi, and as they talked she couldn't help but feel worried over her brother.  The sky got darker and darker, the aura of the night called out to Kaoru, making her want to leave the restaurant and go to whoever was calling her.  Then all of a sudden she felt icy fingers, wrapped themselves around her throat, choking the very air she breathed.  She felt her body shivered with fear, and grew increasingly uncomfortable.  Kaoru put her hands to her throat to feel any other hand was there, but there was nothing.  Everything felt normal, but the illusion felt so real.

               "Are you sure you don't want to drink some of the finest wine you'll ever taste?" Enishi asked.

               "No thank you.  I seldom drinks."  She reused his offer many times, and resisted asking him if he had a hearing problem.  She didn't drink mainly because of Yahiko.  She didn't want to influence him the wrong way; instead she wanted to raise him properly, so he would know the difference between right and wrong.

               Enishi sighed audibly.  Women he knew would fawn themselves at him, but Kaoru was immune to his charms, and out of his reach.  Still, she captivated him, intrigued him, and he had to claim her as his.  He knew this job was important to her, and he would use that if he had to.  He knew there was something beneath Kaoru, almost like a fiery fire that was waiting to be unlocked from the deeper depths within her.  He looked forward to enjoying some hot, steamy sex with her.

               Then Enishi looked within her slim portfolio and what he saw there captured him in its spells.  Kaoru's drawings were precise, were accurate to the way he envisioned his characters to look like in the next game.  He turned to look at Kaoru with an appreciative gaze.  She was exactly what he wanted, with her talents, her inventive approach.  He definitely got what he wanted.

               "They were just quick sketches," she said softly, "without the animation but I hope you get the idea."  She forgot how uncomfortable she was, or how much she didn't like Enishi, as she glanced at him looking over her work with an appreciative view.

               From Kaoru's gaze at him, she could tell he was very impressed by her talented skills.  She hoped that he would take her in.  She needed the job desperately and he was the only one who could give her the job.  She hoped her talent could land her the job, that it would be enough.

               Enishi was rather impressed by the young woman.  Not only was she beautiful, intelligent, and attractive, but she was talented too.  If she did these sketches so fast, then imagine when it's turn into animation he wondered.  This woman was able to make the vampires look so real.  There was one picture, which fascinated him the most.  In this picture, it took place in a battle scene, there were so much bloodshed, so much dead bodies, and the character standing in the middle of the scene with long blood red hair in a high ponytail, swaying with the wind captured his attention.  The way Kaoru drew the man, the predator, she envisioned him perfectly.  "You have extreme talent and skill.  You have such a gift for detail.  Continue the good work.  Watching these pictures makes me feel as if you were in my mind.  I've never met someone who could capture exactly, precisely, whatever I envisioned and you were able to do that.  You show a lot of promise."

               Kaoru couldn't help, but feel very praised; she watched her work with pride, all her feelings of nervousness and anxiety forgotten.  "I really appreciate such delightful comments on my work Mr. Yukishiro."

               But then suddenly a cold draft streamed into the restaurant with a taint of evil.  It crawled all over Kaoru's flesh like worms crawling on her skin.  Her insides felt like rebelling, while she sat back on her chair, trembling, and her skin pale.  She looked around her to see if anyone was acting up just like her.  No one noticed the thickening air, or the stench of evil.  There was laughter everywhere.  It normalcy should have reassured her, but the trembling only increased.  She felt sweat beading on her forehead, running down the valley of her breasts.  Her heart was thumping loudly.

               Enishi did seem to notice anything; all his attention was on her drawings, and all the rich details her drawings showed.

               Something went terribly wrong.  Kaoru knew that much.  Kaoru knew the very moment her parents died.  She knew when a terrible crime happened.  She knew who drug dealers were, when someone lied, she just knew things.  And right now while she was here with Enishi, she felt something evil, something malevolent just lurking right around the corner.  It called out to her, telling, forcing her to do its bidding, but Kaoru had a strong will power, she had a strong mind, and it will take more then someone trying to possess her to make her do their bidding.  Just as she sat there trembling, she saw three young women stop their hysterical laughing, got up from their seats and headed outside the restaurant.  Kaoru wanted to stop them, to scream to them not to go anywhere.  Instead she stood frozen still in her seat, hearing the forbidden words calling out to her.

               Come to me my precious.  Come to me.  Be here with me.  Let me show you the world.  Let me feast on you.  The words continued to repeat over and over in her head, calling her.  It felt like shards of glass struck her skull.  The voice quiet whispering, calling to her calmly, yet evilly.
