"I'm sorry we're going to have to let you go?"

"Wait what, didn't you just say I'm a good worker?"

"Yes, I did,"

"And that I'm irreplaceable?"

"Yes I did."

"And that I was the best thing to ever happen to this agency"

"Yes, I said all those things and more."

"So why am I the one whose being let go?" She starting to tear up.

"Oh no, n-n-n-no don't start that. Rin," he takes a breath, "Listen. The company is going under and we need to make some cuts that are beneficial to the agency and you just so happen to be one of them."

"But, why me? I mean, come on there's like 200,000 people here at least 5 satellites in each state. There are people who make five times more money than me in one day than what I make in a week. And they barley do anything."

"Yes, that's true Rin, but you seem to be forgetting one factor."

"What's that?"

"Our Boss."

"What about her?"

"Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that Kagura doesn't like you."

"Oh that, I know that but Kagura's a professional woman. She wouldn't let a silly thing like an old rivalry get to her right? So what if I was top of our class in both high school and university. Sure I've always been one step ahead, but at the end of the day I'm the one who ended up working for her right? So none of that should really matter, besides it's all in the past, it's over and done with right? She's the boss, she gets to boss me around all she wants now."

"Correction, was your boss, and no she is not at all what one would call professional and yes she would let something like that get to her."

The conversation came to a pause as he put his finger to his lips signaling her to be silent. Clicking of heels echoed throughout the hall as they approached. Both occupants of the room turned to the door as the knob jiggled and swung open.

"What, you still here," she sneered.

"Oh, um Mr. Tanaka just-"

"Get out now or I'll have you thrown out," she snarled out.

"Okay, Okay I'll go get my stuff."

"No need it's all in the trash bag on the curb."

"Alright I guess I'll get out of your hair then. I'll see 'round Bankotsu."

She exited the office with a wave from Bankotsu. With her head held high she walked out the building and saw the trash bag full of her stuff. She went through it to make sure everything was in it. She sighed and grabbed her bag and headed to her car. She turned the key to start the car, it screeched and went silent. She repeated the process again and again until she heard a feminine chuckle. Her head tilted up as she looked out her window to see her boss floating on a feather.

"Tachibana, you have two hours to get that trash heap of my lot before I have it towed." She said with a laugh and flew off.

"Arg!" she screamed and pulled out her phone. "Come on girl pick up, please, please."

"Hello"

"Yes! Shiori thank you."

"Hey what's up, is everything alright?" Concern filled her voice as she sensed the stress in her friends tone.

Rin explained her situation to her close friend. She took a deep breath as she concluded her story. "So, can you come get me?"

"Yes of course Rin, and don't worry about your car I'll have Shippo get it for you."

"How is Shippo going to get my car?"

"You know how he is with his mad magic skills."

"Yeah alright I'll see you in a bit."

Rin sat in Shiori's kitchen face smooshed on its cool surface. She sighed watching her breath as it faded of the granite area.

"So Rin, what are you going to do from here?" It has been two months since Rin's departure from Onigumo Enterprise. She has been applying for every job in her field and was starting to lose all hope.

"Oh, I don't know. Shi-chan. I've applied everywhere and have nothing to show."

"Don't give up Hun, things will turn around right quick you'll see. Just don't give up hope." She turned and gave her friend a reassuring smile. The kitchen door opened to reveal a tall fox demon. His orange hair tied up in its usual cobalt ribbon.

"Hey ladies," Shippo greeted. "Why the long face Rin. Still can't get a job.

"Shippo!" Shiori gave her mate a warning glare. "Don't be mean. She's really down about the whole thing."

"Yeah I know but, if she's just going to be boring then she can just go home and sulk. Where did you apply anyway?" He turned to the sulking human with his curiosity.

"Everywhere."

"Even Hasegawa Inc.?"

Rin looked up at Shippo with a blank expression before bursting out with laughter. "Ha, ha, ha. You're joking right. Anti-human Incorporated. There's no way I'd get a job there. Besides they aren't hiring anymore."

"Ah, ah, that's not true Rin-chan. It looks like the king of frost just dispatched another one. It was dude this time to. Besides it's not him doing the hiring it's his father. If the Inu no Taisho left the people work to his sons it would just be the three of them running the joint."

"How do you even know this stuff?"

"I know a guy, who knows this guy, whose cousins friend's aunt's brother, works there."

"What?"

"Well you see-""

"Don't explain that again. Please don't. Anyways, even if I wanted to work there, there's no way I'd even be considered without recommendation."

"I can write you one."

"Really," her words laced with sarcasm.

"Yes really Rin." He said a bit peeved. "Have you forgotten who I am? I am the youngest magic master in the world. I've completed every magic school known to humans and demons alike. At the age of twelve if I may add."

"Yes Shippo we know. So how exactly is that supposed to help me?"

"Well you see Rin, I am a dignitary among the demon world. I have what you would call a class A status." Rin and Shiori looked at each other and rolled their eyes then broke out laughing. "Laugh it up ladies. Seriously though, do you want me to write one or not."

"Yeah sure."

"Okay then, go online fill out the online application then print one out and fill out a solid copy. When you're done with that I'll give you the recommendation them we will fax it together."

"That's so much work."

"You want the job right?"

"Yeah, but I don't want to seem desperate."

"Don't worry about it Rin I know what I'm doing. This time next week you'll be in the Inutaisho's office for an interview."
