Author's Note: Here's my second ongoing series! I've been hyped up about this one all day! I'm sure stories similar to this have been written, and hopefully I'm not stealing anyone's ideas, but I just had to write it! For some reason the title just came to be one day and I thought I could adapt it into a story! I drew the cover art myself with this story in mind while experiencing major nosebleeds while painting it. Oh and if anyone's wondering, I'm not the kind of author who writes lemons. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything bad about lemons, I just don't feel comfortable writing that kind of detail. There will be sexual themes, but they will all be minor, so please don't hate me too much! Ok, I've rambled enough. Enjoy the first chapter and please review!

Episode 1

"I'm a handsome, rich, philanthropist, playboy. Wouldn't you like to be me? Or rather, wouldn't you like to be married to me?"

"Thank you, Mr. Taisho for the enlightening interview! And there you have it, folks! Japan's most beloved man has given us a fascinating glimpse of his—"

"What a pompous jerk! What's so great about him?!" I turned off the infuriating interview, but stuff like that gets in your mind and won't go away! To be honest, it's really insulting to be mocked like that, especially when you're an orphan living in a big city.

For the past three years my twin sister, brother, and I have been stuck in Love Life Orphanage right outside of Tokyo. When our parents died in a car accident, I, Kagome Higarashi, took it upon myself to take care of the three of us since then. The problem is Kikyou and I will be turning 18 in a couple of months, which means we get kicked out. Our brother Sota is only 8, and will either be stuck here for another ten years, or be adopted. Kikyou and I have been job hunting this past week, and I've finally gotten a chance to be interviewed tomorrow. Poor Kikyou can't seem to keep her jobs, though.

The only way I can describe my sister is gorgeous. She definitely got all the looks and the brains, but the problem is she speaks her mind more often than she should. Don't get me wrong, I do it too, but I know when to restrain myself. I love my sister, but she can be annoying as hell sometimes. When she walks down the stairs, boys gaze after her with hearts in their eyes. When I walk down the stairs, boys grin and ask, "Hey Kagome! You wanna play some ball?"

Yep, I'm a tomboy, but that's why Sota and I get along so well. He may be 8, but that boy's a lot more mature than most kids his age. Of course, losing one's parents that young would make anyone grow up faster. The kid's smart, but he's a videogame maniac, which means I have to constantly stay on him about straining his eyes, and getting some exercise.

All in all, it hasn't been so bad living here. We get along with most of the other residents, and old lady Kaede is a wonderful caretaker, even if she's strict at times. She's the one who helped me find a job, and her encouragement has helped me deal with my nervousness about our future.

"Kagome, why did you turn off the TV? I was getting interested in the interview," Kikyou said as she walked into the small den area. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, while my arms were propped up on the small round coffee-table in the middle of the room. Kikyou took a seat on the couch behind me, and I turned to give her an exasperated stare.

"Really, Kikyou, why would you want to watch him?"

"Are you serious? You're really not interested in the Sesshomaru Taisho?!"

"Why the hell would I be interested in a guy like him?"

" Because he's like the prince charming every girl dreams of! And have you seen that face and that body?! Mmmm!" Kikyou cupped her face in her hands in a show of dream-like happiness. I just raised a brow and rolled my eyes. Typical teenage girl.

"Anyways, how did your job go today?"

Kikyou looked at me for a moment before a pout formed on her lips, and she looked away.

"Fired again, huh?" I sighed. "Kikyou, you know how important this is! We only have two months to raise enough money for us to rent an apartment, and then we have to file for custody of Sota! There's no way we're gonna lose our little brother!"

"I know, I'm sorry, Kagome! I just don't think I'm cut out for the workforce. I'll try to find another job tomorrow, I promise!"

"You've been promising that for the past week! Why can't you just learn to shut up sometimes?!"

Kikyou stared at me in shock before her face twisted in rage. "How dare you say that to me! You don't know what's happened!"

"Uh, hello! I've known you for the past seventeen years! That tongue of yours has always been a problem!"

"Oh, why you—"

At that moment, Ms. Kaede stepped into the room and grabbed us both by a shoulder.

"There will be none of that! I will have no bickering in my residence, understood?"

The two of us mumbled apologies before Kikyou marched upstairs to our room.

Ms. Kaede sighed, then turned to me with a look of worry on her old face. "What did ye start that fight for, child?"

"Sorry, Ms. Kaede, I'm just really stressed out."

"I know child, but fighting with your sister will not solve the problem. You have an interview tomorrow, do ye not?"

"Yep! Thanks to you! The restaurant's manager said he'd give me a trial run to see if I'll be a good employee."

"Then shouldn't you be practicing, just in case?"

"Um, probably. I'll help you make dinner tonight."

"That is a splendid idea."

"I'm a handsome, rich, philanthropist, playboy. Wouldn't you like to be me? Or rather, wouldn't you like to be married to me?"

"Thank you, Mr. Taisho for the enlightening interview! And there you have it, folks! Japan's most beloved man has given us a fascinating glimpse of his endearing lifestyle. Tune back in next week for news on Japan's stock market expectancies. This is Ayaka Honda saying good night Tokyo!"

The cameras and spotlights were cut off, and I rose to meet my adoring public. I'm a young billionaire who owns more than half of Tokyo, not to mention I'm the hottest topic in all the news. My father died a month ago, leaving all his wealth to me and my mother, though she has her own life apart from mine. Being an heir to an entire city is big-time news. I've got women flocking me wherever I go, and men seeking to get in my good graces. I'm Sesshomaru Taisho, and everyone looks to me, now.

I walked out the building with an air of dignity and pride riding on my shoulders. My little manager (or as I like to call him my minion) Jakken handles anyone who wants an audience with me. Of course, I make sure to surround myself with at least 6 bodyguards. One can never be too careful in today's day and age. I gracefully slid into the soft leather seat of my black-clad limo as Jakken crawled into the seat opposite mine.

"Jakken, call Ms. Kagura and tell her to have those files ready for me when I get back."

"R-right away, Mr. Taisho, sir!"

Apart from owning all the major corporations within Tokyo, I've also obtained a large segment of the black markets deals in the city. I'm more or less one of the leading drug lords.

"What do I have scheduled for this afternoon?"

"Aside from a trip to your headquarters, sir, you've got some free time before you have an appointment at 5 with Ms. Fumiko to make a deal on a new shipment of perfumes for your mother's boutique, and then you have dinner at 6:30 scheduled with Ms. Haru tonight, sir."

"Ah, I believe I'll relax at my villa's Jacuzzi until my appointment. Call Ms. Shina and ask her to meet me there."

"Of course, Mr. Taisho!"

Yes, there is no life better than the life of a handsome, rich, philanthropist, playboy. Wouldn't you like to be me?
