Murder, She Wrote

Chapter One: Foul Play

*Setting: The Higurashi Mansion, Kyoto, Japan*

"Kikyo, I'm home!", I shouted as I closed the door behind me. As I entered the lounge, I gasped. Everything was covered in holiday decorations! There were lights and ornaments, and even candy canes stacked across the staircase, and there was mistletoe on top of the door. The designers had really outdone themselves this time. I entered the living room, and as suspected, a 7-footer Christmas Tree was placed, beautiful hand-made ornaments in place, and cotton candy angels all around. I squealed in glee, spinning around the room, just as a little kid would have done.

'Finally, I'm home!', I thought desperately. After my business trip in Tokio, I was exhausted.

"Kikyo, when did the decorators come?", I shouted, as I went up the big mahogany stairs.

. . . There was no response . . .

"Kikyo? I whispered softly, getting a little scared. I looked through the glass window. Yes, her red Miata was there, in it's usual parking space. I shivered. Why did I feel like something was wrong?

I went up to my room, opened the door, and placed my bag on top of my exotic-looking bed, which was hand-crafted in China. It had a beautiful silk quilt, which had two dragons sewn on it, and two silk pillows all a gold and cream color.

I opened my wooden trunk, which too was hand-crafted in China, and found my mother's robe. It was a of rich lavender brocade silk over a blue skirt. I touched the fabric. So soft and silky.

All of the sudden I heard a crash. I gasped and quickly shut the trunk.

"Kikyo, this isn't funny", I demanded. "Kikyo, answer me!"

I walked down the hall, as quiet as a mouse, or so they say. I heard the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom.

"My goodness!" I exclaimed. The whole floor was covered in water! I entered the bathroom and saw that the taps were open. I rushed to the indoor springs and closed everything.

I heard a scream from Kikyo's room.

"What the hell is going on?!"

I ran to Kikyo's room and found her body all crumpled in front of her vanity. Her whole face was stabbed and she had deep cuts all down her legs. I stifled back a cry, as I noticed there was something written in the mirror with Kikyo's blood. It said:

I raped your sister and I enjoyed it. I killed your mother and father, and now your sister. You'll be next, Kagome Higurashi.

I let out a scream.

A/N: Short, yes I know. It's another one-shot. Tell me if I should continue! R&R!!!!
