CHAPTER 1 : Prologue

"... Good morning, everyone," said a news reporter on TV,"today's news report will now start. Ikimono Gakari*'s concert was a great success in Tokyo a few nights ago, she performed her biggest hits...", she took quite a while to get to the important stuff,"and also, you'll never believe this, but the company Marukawa Publishing has been closed down due to major difficulties! The company president has refused to tell us the reason to why he was leaving so many people now unemployed. I do wonder what the workers will do! And instead, Rokuro Publishing has earned a new president, Rokuro Ren'ichi, son of the previous company president, who has now retired. Now, to the sports news report...". Onodera Ritsu, now an unemployed citizen, was worrying over how he could find another job at this time. Tokyo was a big city and had a lot of unemployed citizens as well, so a job wasn't easy to find, yet he refused to return to his father's company. He still wanted to prove himself to those who had badmouthed him. Now, another opportunity occured; He would try to get a position in the Shoujo Manga department at Rokuro Publishing. He started typing up a letter to the company's new president, a request to try getting hired there.

Takano Masamune sipped at his coffee. He was wondering what he should do after losing a job he liked, if it was even possible to get back on the right track. He glanced at the wall beside him, the one where his ex-lover's apartment rested. 'I wonder how Onodera's doing, I hope he's alright,' he thought to himself, taking another sip of the, now cold, coffee.

It was no use in worrying over it, so he just sat on the couch to watch TV.

After a while, Takano had woken up, he seemed to have fallen asleep. Taking a look at the clock on his wall, it read 2:37 AM. Crap. It was late again and he had too much energy to fall asleep and wake up in the morning. So he decided to sit down and write a request for a job at Rokuro Publishing, in the Shoujo Manga department. He pondered about the possibilities of getting a job there, also thinking that Onodera would most likely be moving back to his father's company.

What he didn't know, was that...

Ritsu & Masamune stared at each other in confusion. They had both been on their way to Rokuro Publishing for a job interview, but neither of them had expected to see the other there.

"What...Are you doing here..?" Ritsu finally managed to say.

"Applying for a job, what does it look like I'm doing?"

"I meant why are you applying for a job HERE of all places?" He was starting to panic. There was no way that he was going to work with this arrogant bastard AGAIN!

"Am I not allowed to?"

"...Which department?"

"Shoujo Manga, of course!"

Ritsu mentally face-palmed himself, he didn't like where this was going.

But before they could go any further, the door to the interview room opened revealing a man. He had long platinum blond hair tied back in a ponytail, green eyes with a hint of blue, he was wearing round glasses and a white shirt with a basic pair of jeans. Though, he also had an expression like he wanted to kill somebady right now, and Ritsu flinched at that.

"Hey, you two are applying for the Shoujo Manga department here, right?" After recieving a nod from both of them, he continued,"come inside, the interview's ready to be started."

He smirked. Not that cocky smirk Takano usually wore, this was more of an evil one of someone plotting something.

'I have a bad feeling about this..' The two thought at the same time.

*Ikimono Gakari is a Japanese singer, if you watched Naruto Shippuden, she sang 'Blue Bird' in one of the openings;

Mwahahaha! Cliffy? 8D Maybe...? Oh well, this was something like a taster chapter, to see if you guys liked where this was going XD

I wrote this on my iPhone and then had to type it on my computer again, though D;

But, this will include A LOT more drama and, not to spoil too much for ya, I will be adding my OCs in here, there's about 5 of them, I believe XD

Well, anyways, I will only post the next chapter if I get positive reviews! eweb

And, as always, CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always loved~! ;3

Just please don't say anything harsh that doesn't mean anything, like cursing or something ;P

Okay, too much talking, to top it all off, I just want to say that this will probably have plenty of chapters so that I don't rush it too much..

Well, it's 2:02 AM and I'm not tired yet, so Imma read fanfics, if there are any new Takano X Ritsu ones, and my cat is sleeping next to me and she's snoring! X'D

Ummm, well then, bye and don't forget to R & R~!
