Chapter 1

Sango Toma stormed into the Domo Newsroom and looked around anxiously for her friends, Kagome Higurashi and Rin Jurigoshi. Ignoring the other workers she looked at the open door of Kagome's office. She spotted Kagome sitting at her cluttered desk typing furiously on her laptop. Sango rushed into Kagome's office and shut the door making her look up.

"Hey," Kagome said by way of greeting. She stopped typing and shut the laptop giving Sango her full attention.

"You will not guess what I just found out!" Sango said anxiously. She sat down in the chair across from Kagome.

"What?" Kagome asked leaning forward.

"I just heard that we have three new bosses!"

"What?" Kagome said sharply. She stood suddenly knocking her chair over. "What's going to happen? Are we downsizing? Tell me!"

Sango looked behind her and noticed that they had the attention of everyone in the newsroom. She smiled wanly as she stood and shut the door before turning back to Kagome.

"Hold your horses." Sango put her hands up defensively. "Why don't we go get Rin from her office, take a nice long lunch and I'll tell you what I know."

Kagome nodded passively.

"So you're saying that the three strongest business men of our time just bought our newspaper?" Rin asked. The three had spent the past half hour talking over lunch. Sango took a drink from her coke and nodded.

"What are they like?" Kagome asked. "You think they'll be impossible to work with?"

"I heard that the oldest is Sesshomaru," Sango answered. "He's tall, handsome, and ruthless."

"What? What do you mean 'ruthless'?" Rin choked over her steak.

"I mean," Sango answered swiftly. "That the man's ruthless in and outside of the boardroom. He crushes the competition and has rarely had any sort of time for a girlfriend." She lifted her sandwich to her mouth and took a bite.

"What about the other two?" Kagome asked.

"Well, Sesshomaru has a younger brother called Inuyasha and he's just as handsome, muscular, and tall as his brother. He's hot-tempered, very cocky, but a very good business man. He's second in command. Then there's Miroku. I hear he's cute, but very perverted and just as good a business man as Inuyasha. These three work together in everything and are filthy rich. They can afford to downsize so I think we should watch our backs."

"Here, here," Kagome said raising her glass. The other two copied her actions sealing their pact.

Sesshomaru walked into the Domo Newsroom that afternoon flanked by his younger brother and his brother's friend. Immediately all action stopped to welcome the new bosses. Sesshomaru and the others stopped in the middle of the room calling even more attention to themselves.

"As I'm sure you all know," Sesshomaru said softly, but demandingly. "We're your new employers. We're aware that this paper has had its share of bad business, but we're going to turn that around. We'll personally oversee every aspect of this paper. Mr. Miroku Monk will oversee all photography and art used in the paper. Mr. Inuyasha Demon will oversee all advice columns, and I will over see all other news articles with their help." With that said, Sesshomaru lead the way into their spacious office in the back of the newsroom.

"Thanks for treating, Sango," Rin said as they entered the newsroom after their lunch break. "I didn't have any money on me today."

"Me either," Kagome commented leading the way to her office. She ignored all the whispers that occurred whenever she entered the newsroom. It was no secret that she had Hojo Angel, a computer genius and millionaire, hot on her heels. He'd showed up daily to her job until she'd had him thrown out. The whispers, she supposed, were about him. Too bad she was wrong.

"Get me the advice columnist!" she heard someone bark as a harassed looking young man stumbled out of the main office. The young man headed straight for Kagome.

"K-Kagome," he stuttered. "The new boss wants to talk to you. I don't think he likes your column."

"Shit," Kagome sighed. "Okay, thanks." She waved the young man away and turned towards the head office. She looked back at her friends to find them giving her weak, but encouraging, smiles. "Here goes nothing," she muttered and entered the office.

The room was dark and only the small beams of sunlight that poked through the cracks in the blinds illuminated the room. Kagome could faintly see the form of a man sitting behind the main desk.

"You wanted to see me?" she said quietly looking straight at him.

"Yes," he barked. He threw her newest column on the desk in front of him. "What the hell is this?" Kagome walked closer to the desk until she saw the column.

"It looks like my new column," she said innocently. "But what's with all the red markings?"

"It's a bunch of shit!" he growled.

"Excuse me?" Kagome looked up sharply and met two golden eyes. Weird, she thought.

"No wonder this paper is barely making any money. Your column is shit! You're too robotic in your advice. You're not feeling what your readers are feeling." He didn't seem to notice Kagome's stupor.

"Oh, no?" Kagome asked gaining her senses back and snatching the paper from the desk. She flipped through until she found what she was looking for. Then she tossed it back on the desk.

"What's this?" He picked up the column.

"My feelings at this moment."

"'Dear Kagome, I want to kill my boss'," he read aloud. He paused and Kagome thought he was going to fire her until he laughed. "I'd like to see you try." He threw the paper back at Kagome. "Fix it."
