Chapter one- Prologue Three years ago had been the time of his brother's death and still Inuyasha had kept the case open. How could a powerful man (there are no demons in this story sorry) such as Sesshoumaru Taisho, HIS very own brother just disappear off the face of the earth just like that. Inuyasha closed his eyes once again and reran the information in his mind. His brother was only around 28 when he was murdered and really no one knew why. Sure his brother had been unreasonable some times. Ok most of the time but he never would have actually made enemies and most enemies he did make were the ones who didn't like hard competition when it came to business. A small sigh was released as his secretary Rin walked into the room. "Sorry detective Taisho but you have a call on the other line, its Kikyou." Rin had always been so polite when it came to his ex-wife but Inuyasha knew that no one liked her. 'Things really can't get worse can they?' slowly and regrettably Inuyasha picked up the phone, listening to the hissing sound of Kikyou's voice.

"Hello Mr. Taisho speak-…"

"Inuyasha! That stupid secretary wench is what ruined our relationship isn't it yashie." Kikyou's pet name caused him nothing but regret when he heard her voice.

"No you know that-…"

"That's not what I called for yashie, my father is having a twenty fifth-birthday party for me and I wanted to invite you. I know you want to say know but I want you to meet someone. Come on we both know you need to get over me and start dating again." For the thousandth time in the past two and a half years he tried to discover why he had married this chick in the first place. He actually had gotten over her. In fact he was in a serious relationship right now. Well no he wasn't, but Inuyasha reminded himself that that wasn't the important part. He was just waiting for the right girl, the right woman who wouldn't bore him to tears and wouldn't give him pet names like 'yashie'.

"I highly doubt it Kikyou. I can't get over you if you won't leave." Putting emphasis on the third and last word he could hear her start to break down.

"It was really hard for my Inuyasha, to turn a blind eye to a one love marriage. You-you really didn't want it to work did you."

Inuyasha smirked to himself 'Finally she gets it' although the wouldn't say that out loud, it was just that he was sick and tired of her trying to act like she could piece together their broken relationship. "You know that's not what I meant Kikyou. If I have time I'll try to make it-…"

"Promise!" Kikyou's voice overly excited.

"Ya sure promise. If I have time I will try to come."

"Oh yashie ok don't forget my present. Oh see you yashie I love you." Inuyasha quickly hung up the phone.

"Great of all the things I would rather do on my planned weekend I have to meet my ex for her birthday." Inuyasha muttered to himself.

"You know Inuyasha if you talk to yourself you'll never get a good girl." A man walked into the office with a fresh cup of coffee.

"Shut up fox." Fox was the nickname for Vixien. Although in trouble he had proven himself worthier then a stupid girl, the name suited him. He always tricked people into telling him everything and he sneaked around like a ferret.
