Hi! It's me (Gothic-Aoi) again! I'm back with a brand NEW fic! This will be my second for and I can only hope you guys will like it as much as those who liked my first fic. - Enjoy this one guys, it's just for you.

Info: Kagome and crew all work at the Acada Investigators INC. Kagome and InuYasha aren't on best terms, Koga's been missing for some time, and Miroku's a hentai! Erm....excuse me, he's STILL a hentai! Not to mention Kagome has gotten a new case that may involve youkai. Youkai about to be real citizens of Japan don't need the bad publicity when they're so close to peace between humans. Can Kagome solve this case by herself? Or will she have to rely on her former fiance and now worst enemy InuYasha? Read on and explore the world of possiblities.

Written in Red

(1st person POV Kagome Higurashi)

I sat at my desk inside the Acada building, the day had been un-eventful and it was raining ALL day. Plus I had gotten a new case to work on, so far...no luck on any leads. There had been found letter's written in blood, along with dead bodies everywhere in each crime scene, all reportedly slashed into minced meat. I hadn't personally been to the scenes but I had gotten pictures of the bodies, oh had I gotten pictures. Miroku had made sure to get every little detail he could when he took a snapshot of them. Miroku Kazanna was the agencies official photographer, and he was VERY good at his job, Acada only hired the best of the best.

Miroku came stumbling in my office carrying a manilla file folder with his new camera around his neck. Speak of the devil. He grinned at me and stood almost touching my desk, he tossed the folder across the desk and I caught it opening it swiftly, "Pictures of the newest crime scene Kag. This one was pretty bad, worse, than the others I think."

He said sitting down in one of the crimson colored chairs making it do a slight 'sigh' sound as he sat on the newly bought leather. "Thanks Miro. You always know how to show the best side of people." I said holding a picture up of one of the agencies female officers butts. He snatched the picture and pocketed it, "I did not take that!" he said, "It must have been Michael." he said crossing his arms defiantly, "Quit pretending you hentai. Now on with this case, how did the scene look other than these bodies looking like they went through a freaking juice blender."

I asked looking at some of the pictures closely, I couldn't tell much about any of them anymore, gender, hair color, skin tone, how old they were, nothing. I flipped to another picture and frowned showing it to Miroku, "Miro, this looks nothing like a human."

He frowned and cleared his throat, "That's because whoever killed those people, also killed the family pet. It's a cat Kags, whoever did this was sadistic enough to kill a freaking cat, two adults, and two children." Miroku said with his eyes closed and a hand under his chin in a slight thinking pose, he should have been a monk, maybe he was in a past life? Nah.

I put the pictures away inside the folder, I didn't need this, not before lunch... "Miro. Thanks for the pictures but did you find any clues?" I asked putting the folder inside my desk drawer, locking it, hey you never know.

He smiled a bit, "Actually we did! It's our first break through Kags! We found out that no 'human' did this."

I gave him an odd frown and a raised brow, "Animal?"

He shook his head, "MIROKU QUIT PLAYING AROUND!"

He held his hands up in defence and stood, "Sango found traces of silver hair near the bodies, who- no whatever did this was a youkai, Kagome."

I blinked at him, youkai didn't need this kind of publicity now, they were finally about to be on good terms with the Japanese government and so close to being considered 'safe' citizens of Japan. "This one youkai could ruin the chances of freedom for the rest of them Miroku, this has to be stopped before the federal government of Japan finds out anything." I said standing and grabbing my black purse. Miroku gave me a shocked look, "Kag! A case this important can't be disclosed! Especially from the government! There's already been atleast ten cases of murder by this youkai!"

He said as he walked with me toward the door, "Well, the government can just back off for once, this is one case that the Acada Private Investigators will solve, WITHOUT the governments help." I said as we got into the elevator as the steel doors incased us in three minutes of claustrophobic torture.

Once the steel doors of entrapment opened I could see the light filtering in through the glass windows of the first floor, finally it was lunch time, I know sick that I can eat after seeing those pictures, but hey you get used to it. We got out of the elevator and into the lobby Sango was waiting for us with a smile plastered on her face. Miroku's eyes lit up quite considerably when he spotted her. Miroku was a leacherous photographer with short black hair that went behind his head to a small pony-tail. Sango was my best friend since highschool, along with Miroku. She had very dark brown almost black hair that went to her waist, sometimes she put it up in a high pony-tail though. She works in the report section of the firm, typing up all the murder scene details and such. She smield as we reached her, "Hey Kags. I see you finally got out of the confines of your office?" she said mocking me. I laughed and we did our secret handshake that always got us odd looks."So are you having lunch with me again today San?" she sighed and shook her head sadly, "I have to go with Miroku for lunch today Kags. I owe him a favor for helping me with my last report." she said rolling her eyes while Miroku beamed. She started walking out waving to me, Miroku came out of dream land and rushed after her, "Ja ne Kags!" they yelled.

I sighed and shifted my purse slightly, "I guess it's lunch alone today." I whispered slightly to myself.

"You could always have lunch with me Kags." Oh, kami...it had better not be..

"InuYasha...I thought I told you to leave me alone. The threat of me getting a restraining order against you is still in effect you know." I said turning to him. I coughed slightly, InuYasha had always made me catch my breath. InuYasha was the firms only Hanyou, or half-youkai. I had known him since Highschool when we actually got along, he was my first, and last, kiss. We had even had a band called Aoi with Sango and Miroku, people still bought our albums.

He laughed brining me from my thougts, "Ah, still the same old Kagome."

"Idiot!"

"Wench!"

"Loser!"

"Un-grateful!"

"Stop it you two! Okaa-san, InuYasha both of you knock it off." said a taller, still red-haired, cutey Shippo. He was still calling me his Okaa-san, he hadn't changed not really, he was transformed as a human at the moment, he looked like a regular guy except for his slightly pointed ears. Shippo lived with me in an appartment down town close to the firm, he still looked pretty much the same when he transformed into his youkai self again.

"Fine." I said crossing my arms, I didn't need this, I needed some food and then I had to start working on the case again.

"Listen brat all I did was tell Kagome she could go to lunch with me." Said InuYasha with a smug face copying my posture by crossing his arms, Shippo sighed, "Let me guess Kagome you pulled out the old ' I'll put a restraining order on your butt.' line, ne?" He asked, I nodded slightly and he sighed again.

"Kagome just go have lunch with InuYasha. I mean you both have to eat, and there's no reason to eat alone."

"But!" we said at the same time and glared at each other.

"But nothing! Go eat now!" he yelled at us, mostly me. I sighed and started walking out the door with InuYasha following along after me, grinning his vhead off. Shippo may have been small, but strongest isn't always based on how big you are.

(The Resturaunt)

InuYasha and I had argued the whole way to the resturaunt, about how much we hated each other and how it was the other's fault that we hated each other, stupid stuff really. Now here we both sat across from each other at a booth in a traditional Japanese resturaunt. I had ordered for InuYasha while he went to the restrooms in the back, I still remembered what he liked, and how I felt for him. Kagome stop it... InuYasha's in the past now, forget about him. Remember what he did to you! Not about his hair, eyes, the way he talks to you when he's not arguing with you....Ugh! I came out of thought with InuYasha saying my name repeatedly, "Kagome!"

"Huh? Nani InuYasha?" he blinked at me,

"How did you know what to order for me?" he asked eating his ramen with....manners?!?

"I still remember InuYasha. That was a stupid question. And since when did you start eating with table manners?" I asked smirking slightly as I ate the Oden I ordered. He smiled and laughed slightly,

"Ha ha, little Kagome made a joke." I smiled at him smugly and kept eating, the sooner I was away from him the better...

(Walking back to the agency after lunch)

I walked beside InuYasha down the streets of Tokyo heading back to the agency, he had been quiet the whole time...I wondered...what was he thinking?

I ignored him after that little thought and only wondered about the people walking passed InuYasha and I as we walked.

"So...how's Koga?" he asked spitting his name out with distain, like it was hard to swallow or something.

I turned my gaze at him and then back to the concrete sidewalk before answering,

"For your information, Mr. I'll assume something's going on and leave my soon to be wife. Nothing ever went on with Koga and I. He's an idiot, and for you to assume otherwise only puts you on his level." I said crossing my arms, my briefcase being held against myself like a security blanket.

InuYasha stopped and pulled on my arm, turning me to him so quickly I almost fell, "Listen Kagome, I saw you, Koga kissed you and you did nothing to stop it, alright! Do you know how hard that was for me to watch? Do you know what I did after that? I lived in an alley for a whole year! The worst thing of all was that I was mad at myself, and at you! Not Koga! That's the worst feeling in the world Higurashi." He said releasing my arm lightly. I stared at him with a blank expression. What did I feel for InuYasha? Love, hate? I didn't know, I never wanted to see him again, and here he was with me, walking, working in the same place, conversing with me. I let my hands fall to my sides, and then raise my free, right hand slapping him swiftly. He clenched his eyes shut tightly, and I took off in one direction, running in my business suit, and 2" heels back to my office, my only sanctuary, salvation...

I sat at my desk with my face in my hands, thinking of what had just happened, he blamed himself, and I for the happenings, not Koga. though I'm sure he was angry at Koga, heck I hadn't seen Koga in over a year myself, I didn't know if he was dead or alive, at the moment, I wasn't sure I cared.

Sango came in through my door, and I let my head rise slowly, with my fake smile plastered onto my face, I had learned how to put on a good show for the customers, no matter what mood you were in, you always appear happy to customers. Sango smiled in return and came to my desk with a folder. She sat it down and turned to the door, when her hand was on the handle she gave a bitter laugh, "When byour ready to talk about it, I'm down the hall." she said and then left quickly, I would never know how she saw through every one of my facades.

I shrugged sloightly, before taking the folder and opening it, more leads. "Thank you Sango!" I whispered to myself, and examined a plastic bag with more of the white youkai hair in it, Like InuYasha's...STOP IT KAGS!! I shouted mentally at myself and shook my head before continuing what I got paid for, I think I'd be here all night...
