Chapter I: Stranger in the Night

New York City…a place wrought with both the super-rich and the super-poor. A place where people who work in glass towers walk beside people who work endlessly for their food. A place where the mystical and magical stay just out of sight of the everyday. In fact, if you told a New Yorker that there were beings of magical energy, who wield magical weapons; he/she/they would look at you like you needed some professional help. However, for the NYPD Crime Lab, things may change their point of view on certain…magical beliefs…

Central Park West

6:45 AM

It was normal for people to walk around and not notice other people in Central Park. In fact, if a murder was committed in Central Park, it would take days before anyone ever heard about it. But on this particular morning, people had immediately notice something was out of place with the normality that was New York City: a woman was murdered like she was a prize to be won.

When Detectives Mac Taylor and Stella Bonasera pulled up to the crime scene, they could already tell that this was way past routine. Several NYPD cops, considered one of the toughest cops on the East Coast, had involuntarily given up the contents of their dinner from last night.

"Well, this is interesting." Stella said as she walked up to the victim.

"And what would that be, if I may ask?" Mac asked back.

Stella crouched next to the body and said, "Well, if you look, there are some… 'different' inconsistencies and consistencies that are very confusing."

"Such as?" Mac asked, keeping an open mind.

Stella pointed to the throat and said, "Well, the jugular's been chewed off from the body, like there was an animal, but the throat's been slashed like a knife. Somewhat like the homicide Vegas had with the cannibal doctor and the dog."

"Same pattern here?" Mac asked as he photographed the body.

Stella stood up and looked at Mac, saying, "I don't know. It could be, but at the same time, maybe not."

Mac looked at the dead body and said, "Well, one thing's for sure."

Stella looked at Mac and asked, "What?"

"We're either dealing with a cannibal doc of our own…or we've got one very hungry animal that just happens to know anatomy. And I don't think that the second one applies." Mac said as he photographed the body.

This is something new that came to me a couple of days ago. I read Imperfections' 'Forgive My Hesitation' in the 'Inuyasha' section and the idea came to me as a sort of 'what happens next.' In case you haven't noticed, this is an INU/CSI: NY crossover. I hope people like it. Don't forget, Read and Review.
