"Inuyasha, don't forget your lunch!", Izayoi yelled outside to her son.
Inuyasha Takahashi is a fifteen year old who is part of one of the richest families in the word. His family owns a huge business, Despite being the heir, sadly enough not even Inuyasha knows what the family business does. His father told him with his younger sister melody that he'll tell them when they're eighteen, until then they should just enjoy their childhood.
Inuyasha has silver hair and amber eyes just like his father, Inu no taisho, while his eight year old sister takes after their mother and has black hair and violet eyes. Inuyasha typically wears red most of the time with either white or black, he also has dog ears. Which animal ears aren't that uncommon among the humans in his world. He is a half dog human while he his half of a normal human. His dog ears are actually rare in his family though, they believe it's due to his mixed heritage as a half breed.
Inuyasha ran to his mother and grabbed his lunch as he quickly bid her goodbye, today was the day he was supposed to meet his girlfriend Kikyo in front of their private school. Kikyo is also part of a rich family, but hers are said to come from priestess and priest that now govern over a few political business around the world. Such as, lawyers and anything else that involves a court case.
Inuyasha lives in the city of kakai, which means the city of fire, it is said that the city used to be filled with people who could use fire to do extraordinary things. Inuyasha doesn't believe this, he thinks it's just a myth. Just like they also said people all over the world had special magic like abilities unique to them. There are still rumors going around that there still is magic just that few people can use it.
Inuyasha arrived a few minutes later at his private school, Kikyo was waiting impatiently for him by the school doors. She spotted him and said, "About time, what took you so long?" Inuyasha heaved huge breaths of air as he gazed into the young priestess eyes and answered, "I missed the bus."
"I don't care!", she yelled.
Inuyasha then asked, "Why did you ask to meet me here anyways?"
"Why!?", she screeched.
Inuyasha folded his dog ears in pain before saying a soft, "Yeah."
"You're so unbelievable! Today is our one year anniversary, remember!", She screamed in anger.
Inuyasha gulped before he said, "So, it's just one day."
"One day!? That's it we're through!", She yelled before storming inside.
"Just great.", Inuyasha mumbled before heading into the school building as well.
After school Inuyasha wanted to apologize for whatever he did wrong, but it looked like Kikyo already took the forest path back to her house alone. Inuyasha fumed, she didn't even give him a chance to make up for it. 'Who needs her anyway', he thought angrily.
He had this bad feeling about something but choose to shake it off as he headed home, when he got there Melody was waiting for him at the house and greeted him saying, "Hi, big brother. Do you want to play some video games with me?"
Inuyasha and Melody were very close siblings, you could even say Inuyasha was protective of his little sister. Often when no one else was around they'd play video games together or Inuyasha would try to cook cookies or something for melody. Yeah, cooking never went well for him. This is their second house and this time there is a rule for just Inuyasha alone, no cooking!
Well, he guessed he had nothing better to do. So Inuyasha joined his sister for a video game session.
Kikyo fumed as she stomped through the forest, how could he forget something this important!? This is the fifth time he has done something like this all year and she had enough of it.
Suddenly she heard a twig snap as she wiped around with her aura flaring and yelled, "Inuyasha, I thought I told you it was over!"
But who she met face to face with wasn't Inuyasha, before she could ask who he was the strange man attacked.
"AAAAAAAAH!", she screamed as her heart was pulled from her chest with deadly claws.
She soon fell to the ground in a heap of blood, dead.
The man laughed evilly as he said, "Not going to let you interfere this time priestess!"
It was later that night when Inuyasha's parents finally got home. Not long after the doorbell rang, the police were at the door. Remembering the procedure Inu no taisho taught him, Inuyasha grabbed his sister by the arm and pulled her towards her room upstairs. After putting Melody to sleep, Inuyasha, stood at the edge of the railing to see what's going on.
"Okay, I will.", Inu no taisho bowed his head low as he spoke to the police officer.
Soon the police left as Inuyasha came down the railing and asked, "What happend?"
Suddenly out of nowhere his father yelled at him, "Go to your room!"
Inuyasha was quick to obey his father, his father never lost his temper with him. Inu no taisho was always a calm soul, so what happened.
Inuyasha sat on his bed and waited patiently for his father, but he never came. It was a few hours later and Inuyasha had fallen fast asleep until he heard his door room open and shut. He looked around his room till he spotted a hot cocoa cup in the middle of his room with a letter on it. He noticed the door was locked as he inspected the room, that's weird.
He read the note it said, "Dear Inuyasha, sorry for yelling at you earlier. Due to some issues I had to lock your door, I'll explain later. So please enjoy this hot coco until then.
Trusting his father completely he gulped half of the contents down before commenting, "This taste weird."
Suddenly he felt hot and dizzy as he swayed back in forth his mind became clouded. The only thing he could come up with, the hot coco was drugged.
Soon he dropped the cup as he fell onto the floor, the last thing he heard was the shattering of the cup.
He groaned as he slowly woke up, this wasn't his room. Where was he? He looked around, he was in some kind of car? His vision was still a little clouded and it was dark wherever he was.
"So you're finally awake.", the driver said.
Inuyasha could faintly see a police uniform through a window as his vision cleared.
He started to panic as he pulled on some sort of chains. Wait, chains!?
He panic even more as he found out his hands and ankles where chained with police cuffs onto the seat. He tried to get out of the cuffs but he was ultimately unsuccessful.
The police officer then said softly, "Calm down, those chains aren't coming off of you anytime soon."
Inuyasha asked in a panicked tone, "Where am I, Where's my father!?"
"You are on your way to court to be judged to see if your guilty or not", The police officer answered.
"Huh, for what? I haven't done anything wrong.", Inuyasha commented.
The police officer laughed, "Yeah right! Even if you are not guilty, your going to be guilty because people don't listen to half breeds."
"Well, I'm feeling nice today so I'll tell you. You are being taken to court for the murder of Kikyo higurashi.", the police officer decided to reply.
"What!?", Inuyasha screamed.
He loved Kikyo, sure she could be a jerk sometimes but he still loves her. Tears came to his eyes, the love of his life is dead. Now he wishes he remembered their anniversary, poor kikyo. He would never kill her, who ever did this should be the one going to court, not him!
"Where here." The older man said before the police car stopped.
Inuyasha wiped his tears off, he refused to be accused for something he would never do! He was innocent! He just hope what the officer said wasn't right.
The officer got out of the car and unchained Inuyasha but kept him cuffed as they walked down a sidewalk up into the courthouse. As they walked there was a crowd yelling and booing at Inuyasha they said things like, "Murderer.", and, "Should be put to death."
Inuyasha ducked his head so he wouldn't show the fear in his face, for if he did what would his father think? He needed to be confident for this to work.
Soon they entered the courtroom as everyone showed despite on their faces, Inuyasha gave a confused look at them as he was forced to sit in the middle of the courtroom. His family, kikyo's family, and other people were there.
Hey wait, wasn't he supposed to have a lawyer too?
The judge called the room to her attention, "I call this court to session. Today we are here to begin the trial of Inuyasha takahashi, for the crime of murder."
The crowd cried with outrage as the judge was forced to silence them. Soon she continued, "Do to some unfortunate events, Inuyasha will have to defend himself in this case."
Inuyasha heard someone snicker behind his back to another person, "I heard that all the lawyers were so fed up with this case that they all refused to defend the boy."
At that Inuyasha started to panic a little before he calmed down, he wouldn't let them get to him.
The judge order, "Will the offense please present their evidence?"
The prosecutor stood up, "The victim had claw marks on her stomach, thigh, and throat. Which points to a canine or feline causing the marks and Inuyasha is the only one who knows her that has claws."
The crowd cheered loudly at the statement. The judge then spoke urgently, "Order in court, now time for the defense."
Everyone quiet down at that as whispers erupted every now and then.
Inuyasha then gave a serious look as he said, "I may have claws but it doesn't mean I did it, Kikyo's family has a lot of enemies outside of their business. Besides I wouldn't kill the one I loved the most."
"Objection!", the prosecutor proclaimed. The prosecutor continued, "Are you sure you weren't perhaps mad at her?"
"Why would", Inuyasha stopped mid sentence as he remember them breaking up the same morning.
Then the prosecutor showed a video of their fight that morning. Inuyasha's dogs ears folded down in embarrassment at what happened before he argued, "Still I wouldn't have killed her, after school I went home and played video games with my little sister."
Then kikyo's mother stood up and said, "So you could have made a murderous pit stop before you got there, yeah right! Doesn't my daughter deserves justice? Or is the world that cruel?"
Inuyasha looked at his family for help as the crowd reacted to the sobbing mother, but they looked away in disappointment and shame.
Inuyasha gave a dark expression, so his family thinks he did it too?
The prosecutor than said, "The mother of the victim is right, you could have gone around the cameras so you wouldn't have been spotted."
"That's enough, let's let the jury decided the final decision." the judge ordered.
The results came back as quickly as the court case had started and the judge read "Here are the results, Inuyasha takahashi is proclaimed guilty."
Before she could say the sentence Inu no taisho intervene as Inuyasha's mother cried into her hands and said, "I have a request to add to the sentence."
The judge nodded, "Very well, come up to the stand."
Inu no taisho came up to the stand and said, "Inuyasha shall be sripped of his family's name and rights.
Inuyasha shouted, "What!?"
His father came up to him and said, "Just as it sounds like, boy, you are no longer my son!", as he slapped him hard against the face.
Tears started to fall from the boy's face he sobbed out, "But I did nothing wrong!"
Inu no taisho left the stage as the crowd acted shock as Kikyo's mother came out to the stand and decided to make a request too. She said, "He needs to feel pain just like Kikyo did, I request that he'll be tortured!"
The judge nodded and agreed to the terms before saying, "Very well, Inuyasha's punishment shall be torture, stripped of all his titles and rights as a Takahashi, and finally death."
Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Death!? But I'm only fifteen!"
Everyone looked away from him as two police officers came out and took Inuyasha out of the courtroom sobbing. He was going to die, that was it.
