Gun Shot

By Moon Haired Priestess

Chapter 1: Crime Scene

A man was running trough a dark alley. He stopped to catch his breath and listened behind him. When nothing could be heard, he sighed in relief. He started walking. Suddenly, there was a bang and something hit him in the back. The man fell to the ground dead. A figure appeared next to the body. It reached into its coat and pulled out a knife. The figure carved something into the victim's back, then stood and left.

Sunlight flooded the alley as Sesshoumaru Taisho entered. He could already smell the blood and death in the air. Up ahead were two members of his team, Kagome Higurashi and his brother, Inuyasha Taisho. They were already examining the body.

"What is the status?" Kagome and Inuyasha looked up to see Sesshoumaru standing over them.

"We have a gunshot victim," replied Kagome who was the one who dealt with all the medical stuff. Inuyasha headed the captures of suspects. Sesshoumaru was the leader of the demon branch of the police force.

"Hey, do you know when the others are going to be here?" asked Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru shook his head right before they heard a loud slap.

"Guess that answers that." Soon they saw Miroku Takashe, the head of research, and Sango Slayer, the maker of everyone's weapons. As soon as they got close enough to see the body, the two new arrivals sighed.

"That's the fifth one this month," said Miroku as he knelt next to the body. "I'm going to move him back to HQ," Kagome told the others. Soon after she was gone, Sesshoumaru turned to Inuyasha.

"I already sent Koga to see if he could track this guy," was the reply to his unasked question. "I also checked all over the scene for any clues but I couldn't find any."

Sesshoumaru sighed. He hadn't really expected there to be any evidence if this was done by the same person as the others. Just then they heard an officer say, "Sorry, Miss, but I can't let you through."

They turned to see him talking to a young woman with dark brown hair and eyes. She wore a t-shirt, jeans, a long coat, and tennis shoes. After giving the officer an annoyed look, she pulled out a badge.

"I'm Detective McCain," she told him, put her badge away. "I just transferred here from America and was told that Sesshoumaru Taisho was here." The officer looked back at Sesshoumaru, who nodded, before stepping aside to let her pass.

Sesshoumaru knew they were supposed to get a new recruit but he had been expecting a rookie not a detective. She stopped right in front of him.

"Hi, I'm Detective Sarah McCain and I'm your new team member," she said as she held out her hand for him to shake.

"I am Sesshoumaru Taisho, head of the demon department." Sarah seemed to be studying him before smiling. "Pleasure to meet you."

It was then that the others decided to make themselves known. Miroku approached her first. "Hello there, my name is Miroku Takashe." Miroku told her with an all too innocent smile. "Sarah McCain and if you wish to keep your hand, I suggest you remove it from my person." was Sarah's answer.

Miroku quickly did so, sweat dropping, as Inuyasha and Sango laughed. Sango was first to recover. "Hi, I'm Sango Slayer." "Hello."

Inuyasha stepped forward and said, "I'm Inuyasha Taisho." Sarah smiled kindly at him before replying. "It is very nice to meet you."

After seeming to size her up, Inuyasha asked, "Have ever even dealt with demons before?" Sarah chuckled. "Yes I have. In fact, most of my cases have had demons involved in one way or another."

"Hn."

Sarah turned toward Sesshoumaru when he made this noise. "Yes?"

"I am not sure of your experience," he said, emotionless. "I will have you know that I have been a Detective for five years and have had over a hundred cases." They could all tell she was a bit angry at Sesshoumaru's comment.

Sesshoumaru picked up Inuyasha's camera, which had been sitting on the ground next to him, and handed it to her. "Prove it."

With a huff, Sarah took the camera from him and began examining the photos Inuyasha had taken of the body and scene.

"Well, first off, he was killed by a gun, back to front. Second, I would say by the way bullet hole is that the killer was about three feet away. The blood pool indicates that he was shot close to seven hours ago, around midnight. I, also, don't see any indentations, meaning that it wasn't a through and through. So the bullet should still be in the body."

When she was finished, Sarah handed the camera back to Sesshoumaru, who stood there looking at her. Everyone else was shocked by the fact she had managed to get all that from a couple of pictures.

"Is that all?" Sesshoumaru's tone was cold. He did not like the fact she had made look like fool, at least in his mind she had.

"Actually, I saw one more thing on the victim," she answered.

With a raised eyebrow, he asked, "And that is…?"

"He had a spider mark carved into his back." At this everyone froze. Sarah gave them a questioning look. Then Sesshoumaru growled.

"Naraku."

A/N: I'm back! I know you are all woundering why I haven't posted anything new for Friends from the Past. I ran out of ideas and no ones reveiwed so I don't now what you guys think.

Well anyways, this is my new fic, of course. It is a csi/crime solving type story. I thought it would be nice to try my hand at some thing different. But I still need you to review, because you guys can help me alot. I will also give a big hug who can guess what every one does.

I guess that's all. Oh, wait, I will also answer five reviews at the end of every chapter. And just because I don't get to yours one time doesn't mean I won't try to answer it next time.

Well that's all. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
