Disclaimer: I dun't own Inuyasha. I have no idea if there really is a magazine called Sanzen in Japan, but if there is, I don't own it. -
A/N: I've had this idea stuck in my head for so long, so here it goes.
Heaven Knows
Chapter 1: The Assignment
He kissed her hungrily as he gently laid her down on the bed. He examined every inch of her perfect body from her soft skin to her luscious lips.
He couldn't believe how lucky he was to be with the beauty that lay before him.
He went in for another kiss, this time deeply touching her tongue with his, tasting every thing her mouth had to offer.
He had already managed to get most of her clothes off and all that was left were her panties. He reached down and felt the fabric between his fingers and rip-
"You know Kagome, you could have that one if you want, I have plenty more."
A young woman with long raven hair jumped in surprise at the young man's voice. Immediately embarrassed, she fumbled with the book in her hands and then hurriedly threw it across the room, only to have it hit the owner of the voice.
"Ow! First you steal my beloved possessions, and then you go and hit me with them. Kagome, are you so sexually frustrated that you must act out like this? Is this your hint for me?" said a young man's voice.
She blushed furiously. Of course, it just had to be Miroku, the most perverted person she knew, to find her in a situation like this. He would probably be happy with glee, thinking they both shared some kind of kinky sexual connection or something.
"Now, of course, being such a great friend, I would be more than happy to let you take out any sexual frustration out on me."
"I bet you would" Kagome said through gritted teeth. "But I am not sexually frustrated, I just happen to come upon your dirty little novel when I was looking for that article you were supposed to give me yesterday."
"And you found it in there?" He asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, I…uh…" She said as she couldn't find any explanation.
"Yeah, well, while you were having a great time reading without me, Kikyo has been looking all over for you. You better check and see what she wants before she has a bitch fit again." He said with a sly grin.
She groaned in annoyance.
"I knew you'd like hearing that."
"Well, you better put your little book away before Kikyo sees it or even worse, Sango."
"Oh yes, I wouldn't want her to confiscate my beloved novels, but before you go, here's where I keep them all in case you want another peek at them. I have all 200 volumes." He said with pride as he opened a drawer full of books with half naked men and women hugging each other on the covers.
Kagome smiled and rolled her eyes at the gleaming Miroku.
Now to see what her boss wanted. Kikyo was the editor of Sanzen, a women's magazine that Kagome worked for. She was already on bad terms with her ever since Kagome's former boyfriend, Inuyasha, had cheated on her with Kikyo. Kikyo loved to shove the fact that Inuyasha had preferred her in Kagome's face. Kagome had been in a state of despair when she first found out, but although it still hurt her sometimes, she eventually got over it.
She took a deep breath as she reached the front door to Kikyo's office.
She would need lots of patience to handle this. And lots of it.
She opened the door to find Kikyo in a man's shirt that said 'Inuyasha' in cursive on the left breast pocket.
"Oh, you finally came, Kagome. You know, here at Sanzen, all of us must be punctual and organized with our time schedule, but if are not capable of doing so, I'm afraid I may have to let you go."
"I bet you'd love that" Kagome mumbled under her breath.
"Excuse me?" Kikyo asked with a stern look.
"Uhm, I said I'll make sure it will never happen again" She said with a fake smile.
"I'm glad, but the reason I asked for you to come here is to discuss your job."
Kagome could start to feel sweat starting to form on her forehead. Kikyo wouldn't fire her would she? Kagome was one of the best writers here for Christ sake! She wouldn't fire her over that whole Inuyasha thing would she? It's not like Kagome was the one who had wronged her anyways.
"You see," Kikyo said as she opened a folder and took out some papers. "I have reviewed some of your past articles, and I have noticed that they lack a certain thing…they are just simply not interesting. Look at this one for example."
She then handed Kagome a piece of paper that had the heading 'A Fight For Life by Tenshi' on it. It was an article that Kagome had written a few months ago where she had interviewed a teenage girl with leukemia. Kikyo had made all the writers make up a pen name to use on all their articles and Kagome had chosen 'Tenshi'.
"What's wrong with it? I had a lot of letters coming in saying how inspirational the article was."
"Kagome, this is a women's magazine. Women want to read about the hottest stars, not about some poor girl who'll die soon anyway. You need to understand, this is a top magazine, and in order for us to get to the top and stay there, we must stick with what's exciting and important."
"So you're saying the fact that that young girl has to suffer with cancer is not important?" Kagome asked angrily.
Kikyo's eyes darkened.
Uh oh.
"The fact of the matter is, is that I am your boss. I pay you, okay? And what I say is crap, simply is crap."
"If I'm such a crappy writer than why don't you fire me!" Kagome shouted.
"Well, I, being the nice person that I am, am willing to give you another chance. As you know, we took a survey on who women thought was the hottest bachelor in the business industry. Your job is to get the scoop on the winner, Sesshomaru Takahashi."
Kagome's face drained of all color. Sesshomaru Takahashi? The most arrogant jerk on the face of this earth? Curse all those women who voted for him! She would rather write about her grandpa being the hottest bachelor than him!
Kikyo watched Kagome's silent reaction.
"Of course, if you don't think you could write it, I will understand." Kikyo said in a patronizing tone.
Kagome narrowed her eyes. "You know what, I'll do it and write the best article I've ever written."
"Well, seeing your past writing, I would have to say that writing anything better should be fairly easy, but remember, if you aren't able to write it, you are fired. Now, please leave me to my work."
That bitch. Kagome would show her. She'll find out everything there is to know about Sesshomaru Takahashi. His underwear size, what time of the day he takes his shower, his family history, everything.
Now in her own office, Kagome grabbed the phone book.
Time to get into stalker mode.
A/N: Hmm. I wanted to write more, but that last line seemed like such a perfect line to end with. We'll be meeting Sesshomaru in the next chapter, so if you want to see the hotness monster, review please. Anything you see that was wrong? Please tell me.
Sanzen: Radiance
Tenshi: Angel
