Murder He Spoke

Dark-Black-Wolf

This is an experiment that Dark-Dragon-Chick and I are working on. It's my idea but DDC and my story.

Were doing one chapter after another, like for example; I do the first chapter, she does the second, I do the third chapter, she does the forth…and so on. There might be a time where there will be two chapters by the same person, but that's only because one might be sick or because we want to do it that way. Our sign in names will be at the top so you wonderful readers will not get confused.

Flamers, if you must, please say why you do not like this story. Do not say "It sucks/stinks/smells" because neither I nor DDC will know what to improve. Be creative!

Disclaimer: Sadly none of these characters are ours. If only…if only…


I can't believe I'm doing this, I can not believe I'm doing this…

Not positive thoughts from Kagome Higurashi as she came out from her black jeep and looked up at the fifteenth story apartment building. A police crossing line was set up at the other end of the street where a murder took place yesterday. A few investigators took pictures and looked around for clues as to who killed Naraku Jinari, one of Tokyo's billionaires.

She sighed. She could think up a million reasons why she should be on her vacation.

A long brown haired woman came out of the car after Kagome. "Oh Kagome don't worry about it." Sango wrapped her arm around her friend's neck, "Remember what Hojo said?"

Kagome took in a deep breath and rolled her eyes, "That I would get…"

"…your vacation after this case, right" she finished.

Kagome started walked to the apartment, heels clicking against the pavement, "He also said that I'd get a raise after the last case I did"

Sango followed her, "And did you?"

"No" Kagome placed her hand on the glass door and pushed forward, holding the door open so that Sango could get in. "Maybe he forgot. Why don't you remind him?" she asked, hoping that she could get her friend into a happy mood.

The bottom floor was fairly large, with many chairs for tired guests to sit on and tables with beautiful bouquets on every one of them. Usually this floor would be filled with people but, thanks to the murder, you could hear a pin drop.

Kagome pressed the up button on the wall in front of the elevator. Its light from inside glowed yellow telling them that the elevator was coming, "I did. Twice and he said that he would get right on to it"

"See…"

"Which he said two weeks ago" The elevator gave a small ding and the metal doors opened. Both Kagome and Sango walked into it and the doors closed right after they entered. Sang sighed giving up hope and winced when the elevator music came on. So that she didn't have to stand and listen to the brain killing music, she asked, "Why are we here anyway?"

"There was only one witness to the murder and he lives in this apartment," she took out a slip of paper from her jacket and read it, "Floor 12, room 567"

Sango looked up at the arrow that showed them which floor they were passing. The arrow was now on the ninth floor gradually making its way to the tenth. The apartment had 14 floors but was missing the thirteenth, "Looks like this apartment doesn't have floor number 13"

Kagome looked at where Sango was pointing then shook her head. "I can't believe people actually believe in that legend"

Sango nodded, "The people on the fourteenth floor know what floor they're really on"

This joke made Kagome giggled and made Sango smile. It was hard to see Kagome laugh, since her grandfather died. Before that she was always smiling and laughing to her hearts content. Sango missed that.

The elevator gave a small jerk when it reached its destination. Both of them smiled when the music stopped. When they left the elevator, they walked down the carpeted hallway where the numbers grew from 500 to 567. They stopped when they saw a small red headed boy, wearing a dirty hat and worn out clothes closed the door to room number 567.

When he saw them he tipped his hat and left, Kagome and Sango's head moving as he passed by.

The golden numbers on the wooden door looked worn out but still had some of their shine. Kagome raised her fist to knock on the door…ready to see who this witness was when someone asked her, "Excuse me?"

Both women's heads turned to the right where the voice was coming from. It was a young black haired man wearing a purple suit with a black shirt underneath and matching pants. An earning on his right ear and a necklace this man looked about twenty five years old. He walked up to them, black shoes clacking against the carpet. "But, may I ask, what are you doing?"

They flashed their badges to him, "We're investigators of the murder of Naraku Jinari. No one witnessed the murder except from him" Kagome nudged her thumb at the door, "And we need to ask him what happened"

The man raised an eyebrow, "Well you can try, but you'll never get him to talk to you, let alone let you enter his room"

Sango frowned, "And why not?"

"He's as shy as hell" he said in the most casual tone.

Not believing what this stranger was saying Kagome knocked on the door. The man rested his back on the wall beside them, crossing his arms and waiting to see what would happen. Slowly the door opened and Kagome could see an eye peek out from the darkness of the room. Her eyes widened in surprise when the eye's color was a beautiful color of gold.

Kagome opened her mouth to speak but never got a chance to when the door slammed shut, creating wind and blowing her bangs away from her eyes.

The man tried not to laugh and when Sango glared at him he pretended to cough. "What did I tell you? The only way you are going to get in there is with me"

"What makes you so special?"

The man looked at his nails with interest. "Because I'm that guy's friend"

Both girls stood there dumbfounded. Sango walked up to the man and poked his chest with her finger, "Why did you tell us that earlier!"

He shrugged, "It's always fun seeing someone get a door slammed in their face"

Kagome pulled Sango away before she decided to kill the man. "Well" she paused.

"Miroku"

"Miroku, could you help us get in there? It would be a great help to our investigation"

He both gave Kagome and Sango a good look before saying, "And this is just for an investigation?"

"Yes," Kagome blinked, "Is there any other reason?"

He shook his head, "No. I just don't want to see him get hurt again, that's all. Now" he walked in between the two ladies, "watch and learn." He knocked on the door, making a rhythm. He moved away from the door giving the ladies a cocky look. Just then they could hear the locks move off their latches and the handle moved to the right opening the door.

"After you" he offered, moving his hands in the direction of the door.
