I think I'm going to have fun with this one. The idea came to me in the middle of the night while i was on my computer. I think I've beenspending too much time on it. I'm up waaay to late for my own good. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story as I think I'll be enjoying writing it.

This job was unbearable. Almost everyday her thoughts would be based on weather Shigure had been writing or not. It was unhealthy! Even though she had been on the job for such a long time, she never got used to it. She knew that Shigure really was a talented writer, so maybe that was why she got so paniced when she found that he was not yet ready to give her what she needed. She also knew she was worried about losing her job, but the people who worked with her gave her a lot of extra time. They knew what a pain Shigure could be, and how horrible he could be to Mitsuru (that's her real name. Mitchan is her nickname, mainlyused by Shigure and her friends). So, when she came in one day, looking completely exhausted, disheveled and all over broken down, it was decided that she had had enough.

Mitchan wearily walked up to the office her boss occupied. She had just handed in the manuscript Shigure had been working on. Of course she had been forced to wait at the door for half an hour, call him repeatedly, then beg him into writing only to find that all he had was a couple sentaces left on the last page before he gave it to her, but she had gotten it in. It was late, but it was in. Now she was being called to the office. She had a horrible feeling that she was going to be fired for her inability to work with Shigure, and was bracing herself for it as she entered the room.

She was quite surprised when she found her friends standing around her boss's main desk. When she entered the room, her boss, Kammi, stood from her seat.

"You look worn out." Kammi said after looking her over. "Please sit down."

"Thank you..." She mumbled, taking the seat offered to her. She looked up at everyone. "What's going on?"

"We're-" Oh no, Mitchan thought. This is it. I'm fired aren't I? "-Reassigning you."

"What?" She asked, not quite understanding past she wasn't being fired.

"We think it's in your best interest and health that this is done." Kammi (A/N: Kammi is a girl) stated. Kammi was a middle aged woman (around her 40's.)(A/N: That's considered middle aged right?). She usualy wore nice clothing to work along with a pair of high heels that noone had ever seen her out of. She had a straight face withdark, almost black, eyes and dyed blond hair that hung around her shoulders.

"Oh we hope you're okay with it! We've just been so worried about you!" Nara (A/N: Another girl) exclaimed, looking worried. She wore only what she felt was comfortable, mainly some type of pants along with a rather baggy shirt. She worked hard though so her appearance wasn't to be worried about. She had dark brown, curly hair that she wore in a long braid that reached down her back.

"After you got that job with Shigure you've suffered so much!" Suzuya (A/N: Girl again.), a girl around the same age as Mitsuru added. She had straight black hair that she had cut so it was above her shoulders and stood a bit shorter than the rest. You could normally see her wearing a long skirt or pants with a slightly proper looking shirt on.

"That Shigure really did do a number on you Mitchan." Rai concluded (A/N: Boy!). He usually wore a proper suit for his job, though he often took off his tie or outer shirt. He had black hair that was trimmed so it barely hung over his eyes.

Mitchan didn't know what to say. She was being reassigned? She was leaving her job as Shigure's editor to be someone elses? SHE WAS FREE?

"I dont know what to say!" Mitchan cried. Although she did feel a small portion of regret. She knew she wasn't doing too well at being Shigure's editor, but it was what she did. Who would be his replacement? And who would she be going to?

"You're okay with it then?" Kammi asked, though it really wasn't up to her.

"I- Well, yes! I am!" She would be free of his harrassment! No more begging for manuscripts! No more following after him in a wild goose chase!

Nara and Suzuya pulled her up into a hug.

"Oh we're so happy!" Suzuya cried.

"Now you'll have more time to do things with us again!" Nara exclaimed.

"Congradulations." Rai said, watching from the side as they hugged. It was a girl thing. He was happy though.

"But, um. Who will I be assigned to? And what about Shigure...?" Mitchan asked after she had been released.

"Ah yes. We've found you a much more responsible writer. His name is Minoru Keituma. So far he's published about 4 books. We thought he would be a nice change for you." Kammi smiled kindly at the poor girl. "As for Shigure. Well, we made a group effort to find someone suitable for his...uniqe way of turning in his work. Mitchan, this is Kameko Uhenama. She'll be Shigures new editor."

This was the first time Mitchan noticed the unknown woman in the room. She looked like a very sharp woman with an attractive face. She wore a suit that only added to her strict image and had her light brown hair drawn up into a tight bun. She stood up straight, shoulders squared and held herself in a position of extreme confidence.

"Hello, it is nice to meet you Mitsuru." Kameko Uhenama spoke clearly and directly, and Mitchan was at once intimidated.

"Ah, um, it's nice to meet you too." She extended her hand out to recieve a brief handshake. Wow. This one's going to be tough on Shigure. I hope he'll be alright...

Mitchan exited the office with her friends, who were insisting on taking her out for a bite to eat to celebrate.

Mitchan felt extremely relieved at no longer having to endure Shigure's constant teasing. There was a lingering feeling of sadness that she couldn't quite find the meaning of, but she brushed it aside to go enjoy her time with her friends.

It's kinda hard to sort out Mitchan's life cause the books don't focus on it. Her last name was never revealed in the book so I'll have to make that one up. Unless you guys know it? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the second chapter. I'll be posting the third chapter soon. Please review!
