Author's Note: Hello! This is my first shot at writing a story in drabbles. Each chapter will be 100 words long, except on random occasions where I will write 200, 500 or 1,000 word chapters. I hope you like it!

Kagome Higurashi was sitting in a crowded train car, heading towards her first day at her new job.

She had once held a respectable position as a junior partner in a reputable law firm. Unfortunate circumstances had forced her to resign, however.

The loss of what had been an enormous part of her life had deeply shaken her confidence. It had taken her long weeks to recover, and unemployment had made her desperate enough to contact a temp agency.

They'd seemed impressed at her credentials and quickly offered her what they insisted was a very coveted position inside Nijurokuya Corporation.
