Kagome ran her hand through her hair sitting at her desk at the station; she stared at the computer waiting for a few criminal profiles to load on the screen. She let out a sigh and sipped at her cup of coffee.
"Hey Kagome, chief wants us in the briefing room. We're needed at a crime scene." Her partner said, she looked up at him and nodded. "Oh yeah Kagome, how about you and I go out tomorrow night?" He asked with a grin. Kagome shook her head and stood, "For the last time Inuyasha. No."
She looked him directly in his eyes and looking into those dark grey irises, she could tell he was amused. He had to of asked her out forty times in the past two months since they had been assigned as partners. "Let's just get to the briefing room, this is hardly the time." She said walking down the hall, Inuyasha walking close behind her.
Myoga was pacing back and forth in the briefing room, waiting for Inuyasha and Kagome to arrive. He looked up at them as they walked through the door, "You two, I'm putting you on a very important case that just came in this morning."
"Well fill us in." Inuyasha said, leaning against the wall. Myoga nodded and opened a manila folder that was on the long rectangular table in front of them, he held up a picture of a terrible mutilated woman.
"Oh my…what exactly happened to her?" Kagome asked, a bit disturbed that the woman's face looked like her own.
"Well you see this woman? Her name is Kikyo Yajirushi*. Her body was found underneath the bridge south of here. She was stabbed over fifty times, her neck was slashed, and we think she may have been thrown into the river and somehow got washed up on the bank of the river under the bridge. That's the after picture. This is a picture of her before that happened." Myoga said holding up a picture of Kikyo entering a building. "We have reason to believe that Naraku Doku** is behind this." Myoga said.
"He's pretty much public enemy number one around here." Inuyasha said. Myoga nodded, "Exactly. But we also need to get closer to him. Because as sure as we are of his involvement, we can't prove anything. He's pretty good about making sure his alibi is sealed-tight and his hands are clean." Myoga said scratching his head and pulling more files out of the folder.
"So what do you want us to do?" Kagome asked, looking through the pictures, having never seen a more brutal scene in her few years on the force.
"I want you two to get in good with Naraku. Go undercover and find out all you can on this bastard and how he's been slipping through our fingers for the past five years." Myoga said, handing a few papers to Inuyasha, "Those consist of his sightings along with a lead on where he possibly resides, his hangouts, people he's been associated with, etcetera. I want you two to head down to the crime scene and see if you can pull up any clues or leads the other officers may have missed. We've already gotten a hotel room for you two reserved. As of right now you two are in a relationship. At least let him believe that much."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smirked a bit; Kagome let out a frustrated sigh and looked at Myoga, "Whatever you say, chief."
"Hey chief one thing; if you know where he usually hangs out and where he lives why not just try and bust him?" Inuyasha asked with a raised eyebrow.
Myoga looked at him, "Weren't you listening? We can't prove anything. We've had him in for questioning twice in five years and yet he has managed to smooth talk his way out. And we can't go where he is cause one glimpse of the cops and he manages to disappear. Not to mention we don't have a valid warrant to search his place without evidence against him. Look there's no more time for explanations just listen."
Kagome and Inuyasha listened to Myoga for a bit while longer, listening to him going over more details of the scene and case before leaving the station and getting into their unmarked car and driving off to the scene.
They both looked around the ground, the water's edge, any place that they could. "Hey Kagome I think I found something." Inuyasha said, putting gloves on and picking up a small amethyst looking jewel and showing it to her. "That looks like one of the earrings she was wearing in the picture." Kagome said looking at it closely.
"Well it is definitely a homicide since Myoga said her jewelry was left intact, so it doesn't appear to be a robbery gone wrong. What I don't get is why would he want her dead?"
Kagome shrugged, "I'm not sure. There could be plenty of reasons. I think the most probable one would be that maybe she knew too much…"
Inuyasha nodded and put the earring in a plastic bag and continued looking around, "Naraku sure knows how to leave a clean scene though, and that's for sure."
Kagome nodded and rubbed her neck, "Yeah he does. He's going to be a tough one to bring down. I still can't get over how much she looked like me. It's kind of eerie like I was looking at my own corpse."
Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, "She did look like you, but that's never going to happen to you, especially not with me around." He gave her a small smile. Kagome gave him a small one back, "Well I wasn't really worried about that happening to me, it was just surreal is all."
Kagome and Inuyasha left about an hour later, not finding much else and pretty much having wasted their time there. They dropped the earring back off at the station before heading to the hotel they were to stay at.
Kagome and Inuyasha walked inside and saw that it was a single bed room and their luggage was already there. "Well at least Myoga's thorough." Inuyasha said. Kagome rolled her eyes, "You're sleeping on the floor." She said as she grabbed a robe that was laid out on the bed and headed into the bathroom to shower.
Inuyasha laughed and shook his head, "Whatever you say."
