Disclaimer: I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I don't own Inuyasha.
*Mutters yet under breath*
Author Notes: This is gonna be pretty good. I think you'll understand everything within a few chapters. Everything takes place in the present day Japan.
Chapter One: Who Done It?
A slow day in the office usually meant a grumpy hanyou detective. Today was a slow day. Today was no different.
"I am fucking bored around here," griped Inuyasha, lying on his desk bouncing a rubber ball against the wall, " Miroku, if we don't do something soon I'm gonna go nuts!"
Miroku, Inuyasha's partner, looked up from his paperwork "Would that be a difference?" he asked. Seeing the look on his partner's face, coupled with the fact that even Miroku, usually very patient, was getting annoyed at the lack of business, made him shut up very quickly.
The phone rang so suddenly compared to the silence it made Inuyasha fall off the desk and Miroku scatter paper and pens everywhere. After his heart stopped racing Inuyasha grabbed the phone.
"Yo, Shikon detective agency, I'm listening,"
The only sound Inuyasha heard was the sound of a girl's crying. A sobbing voice was the only thing that could be heard, "Hello?" it asked, before breaking into a fit of hysterics.
"Oh what did you do know Inuyasha? This has gotta be a record... ten seconds and the client is already unhappy. Give me that." Miroku said as he took the phone away from the hanyou. "Hello, Shikon detective agency, how can I help you?"
The voice on the other side was definitely that of a crying girl, 8, 9 maybe? "It's my sister, she's been killed!" wailed the girl.
"What? What is your name, where do you live?" Miroku cried urgently.
After Miroku collected at he needed he hung up, leaving Inuyasha extremely confused.
"Miroku care to explain what's goin' on around here?"
"The cure for our boredom."

On the other side of the city, in a dank warehouse, was a gang and its leader. Many dark shapes huddled together in the foul-smelling shack.
"Ha ha! You sure showed that Kikya bitch!" said a demon thug with brown hair tied into a long braid travelling down to his feet. Red, lizard eyes and a fanged grin could be seen on his face.
"It was Kikyo but thank you nonetheless Hiten. It was my pleasure to finish her off," Said what was unmistakingly the leader of the outfit. " But you know, that was only the start of my plans."
"Really?" asked a demon that at first glance appeared to be a mere human, but, upon closer inspection, was actually an oni. Her eyes gleamed with admiration, for this man who stood before her.
A low chuckle escaped from the man. "Why, yes I do Yura, but only one of them involves you numb-skulls." The leader's eyes lit up and a smirk was on his lips. Suddenly, a bright light began to shine from him.
"Onigumo! What are you doing?!" screamed Hiten. As the light began to shine brighter, all of the demons began to be pulled into Onigumo. The last sounds any of the demons heard was his maniacal laughter. "If I couldn't be born a demon, at least I will be a demon." The laughter carried into the night as Onigumo absorbed all of the demons present.

Miroku shivered, as he had been a lot lately. "Oh, what is it now Miroku? You've been looking sick all day!" Inuyasha whined. "I mean, you've looked paler, and you keep shaking."
"It's this whole murder business, it's got me kinda shaken, you know?
"Well, not really. I mean, I am a detective, I'm used to it. I am a bit surprised that you aren't." said Inuyasha as casually as if he were just saying that he had long white hair and dog-ears.
"Oh well," Miroku shrugged "I guess you're a bit tougher than I am." "Gee, you think?" Inuyasha said sarcastically. The fact that Inuyasha was toughened by a life on the streets was not news to Miroku, and the fact that Miroku grew up spoiled rotten was not news to Inuyasha, however neither really liked to talk much about their pasts.
After a long silence Miroku finally decided to say something. "So, Inuyasha, you think this... uh..." Miroku quickly pulled out a notepad and pencil. Flipping through it quite speedily, Miroku finally found what he was looking for. "Right, you think this Kikyo person had a," Miroku raised his eyebrows suggestively, " hot sister my age?"
Inuyasha's eyes fell to halves, "Pervert." he muttered under his breath.
"What?! I didn't! It was never my intention to! Okay, you got me... "Miroku said, while grinning sheepishly.
"Look, the sooner we get this over with," Inuyasha smirked "The sooner we can repay the murder..."
Once again the conversation lapsed into silence, neither Miroku nor Inuyasha had a clue as to where to find some clues, except the manor in which Kikyo lived. Miroku let out a long sigh. This case was not going to be easy, and it would require some real detective skills and ingenuity. Which is why he didn't think Inuyasha would be much help.

Sesshomaru stretched and sat down at the table. After a night of hard drinking and. other activities. with only 15 minutes to sleep, even a demon could get a hangover, which this particular demon did have. Blinking, he tried to get a good view of the room. He failed and just let himself try to sleep. Sitting up. Strangely enough it worked.
Soon after, a little green frog demon sat down at the same table and watched his master sleep. Looking to the digital clock on the wall Jaken frowned to see that it was already 4:50 and Sesshomaru had done nothing.
"Ah well... I guess I can let him sleep for now... we won't get behind schedule." Jaken then hobbled over to a cabinet and rummaged around for a few minutes before pulling put a bottle of aspirin. Setting it down beside the sleeping demon's head. He hobbled down the hall and decided he'd do some research on their next target. Inuyasha.

Kagome shivered. Even at her work, with it's central heating, she shivered. One of her co-workers, Kikyo, had recently come into a large amount of money. She also died recently. Kagome had never liked Kikyo that much; she was really snooty.
And yet, for some unknown reason, Kagome felt like she had just lost a close friend. She sighed; she had always been too soft inside.
Kagome stared at the water cooler, bored out of her mind, when a hand suddenly was placed on her shoulder. Whipping around she saw who was behind her.
"You!"
A/N: A cliff-hanger? No. Multiple cliff-hangers? You got it. *Laughs maniacally* Please R&R.
