Prologue

“Mr. Taisho you have a meeting at seven this morning with the Panther Co., and an interview for the now open Executive Assistant position at ten. She's a recent graduate at one of the top Universities and-” Sesshomaru looked up at his temporary, bleach blond assistant, Kanna. He placed his elbows on his desk, laying his chin on the back of his palms, giving her an intense stare. “O-or I could just cancel them both, you do seem a bit busy sir,” she replied nervously, scratching out any appointments he had this morning. She was always so uptight when around him, then again who wouldn't be?

“Right answer Kanna.” He returned to reading contracts that he knew had to be mailed out by today. Taking over his father's company and becoming CEO was becoming the utmost priority of his life. Work was coming in quickly, and other fellow companies were requesting mergers. It was up to him to consider which were right for this company, and would help it to continue to flourish.

“You are also to have brunch with your father and brother Inuyasha, or would you like me to cancel?” Once again he placed his elbows on his desk, laying his chin on the back of his palm, and staring into her onyx colored eyes. “Yes sir. That is a definite do not cancel.”

“Right again Kanna,” he said examining her new pixie haircut, “but is it necessary for Inuyasha to attend?”

“Um,” she flipped through a few pages in her notepad, “your father told me you would ask that so he requested that I inform you that it is mandatory for both his sons to be at this brunch.” He held in the urge to sigh. He would have to take a couple of shots before he attended this brunch. Knowing that his annoying half demon brother would be attending was already giving him aches.

“Is that all Kanna?”

“Um, sir, what will you do about this new opened Executive Assistant position. You do have to replace Kag-”

“I think you are doing a wonderful job Kanna,” he replied with an edge in his voice at the mention of his former assistant. He looked up at the girl to see the shock and disbelief in her eyes, but also the slight fear. He knew she did not wish to be his assistant. She wasn't ready, he could see that, but he also did not want to put up with an assistant who did not know the ways of his company. That was sure to cause problems for him.

“Set up interviews for tomorrow morning,” he commanded.

“Yes sir,” she answered. He could practically hear the joy in her voice. She turned to leave, but he stopped her.

“Oh and Kanna?” she turned to face him, he, returning his eyes to his contracts. “Nice haircut.”  He only heard her gasps, then heard the slight shut of the door. He leaned back in his seat. Replacing his assistant was going to be an interesting task, and this girl, the one that constantly contacted them and never gave up. Her name, what was it, Rin Hamasaki? He pulled out her file from his desk.

She was top notch, graduating from one the highest rank Universities in Japan with a business degree, Onigumo University. She passed with high scores and to top it off she was number one in her class. Yes, she was perfect for the position, but how was he to ever replace Kagura?

Her death was so abrupt and he knew it was anything but an accident. He pulled out her case file, glaring at it intently, and the words that were printed before him in bold letters. Death by freak fire. When would he let this go? Easy, he knew the answer to that. NEVER! Not until he found her murderer, but for now, for his father's company, he would talk less about this. He would lay low and play the perfect CEO. He would find a new assistant.
