She sat alone in her living room. No lights were on, no t.v., no radio. Just nothing. It was complete and total silence. She sat there in her night robe, yet it was two in the afternoon. However, you couldn't tell that it was. All of her curtains were pulled shut blocking out any form of light.

"Why did he kill her..?" She asked herself.

It was the same question she always asked herself. It had been three days since the incident. InuYasha was in jail and being investigated as the murderer. Although they had Kagome as an eye witness, InuYasha still pled innocent.

"I loved him, why would he do this?"

She nearly jumped from her seat when a loud ringing sound filled the room. Kagome stared at the phone beside her. It was probably Sango, or her mother all worried about her.

Normally she'd ignore it. Why bother. But something, something made her want to reach over and answer it.

"Hello?" She said weakly.

"Hi Kagome.." A voice answered.

It was a voice unlike any other she had ever heard. It was not male, yet not female. She could not tell what it was. It was just a voice.

"Who is this?"

"I did it."

"Did what?"

"Killed her.."

"Who is this?"

Silence.

For a moment Kagome had thought the caller had hung up, but their was a light breathing on the other end. Whoever it was, was stalling.

"Call me, Anonymous." The voice said and laughed softly.

"What do you want with me?"

"I want to tell you the truth, about the murder. I did it, not InuYasha."

"No, I saw him do it."

"You think you saw him. But I, I know the truth. And so do you Kagome. Think back…"

"No!" She screamed and slammed the phone down.

She sat there breathing heavily. The room a minute ago seemed to be loud and buzzing with noise. Now suddenly, it was quiet. Dead quiet. Who had that been? How could they have committed the murder. InuYasha had done it. She had seen him do it.

"Your losin it girl." She said to herself.

She took in a deep breath and released it slowly. She stood up from her seat and left the room.

She entered her bedroom and got dressed. She didn't dress all that flashy. She just slipped on a baggy shirt, one that had been Inu's, and a pair of tight jeans. She inhaled the scent that lingered on the shirt. She missed him, so very much.

She grabbed her keys at the door and slipped on her sandals. She slid into the seat of her car and started it up. She took off down the streets. After about five minutes of driving she pulled into the drive of a small blue house. She stepped out of her car and walked up to the door.

After pushing the doorbell she heard a voice and then the door opened.

"Oh, hey Kag-chan." Sango said trying to be cheerful.

"Hey, can…I come in?"

"Sure."

She entered the house and was led to the kitchen by Sango. They sat at the table and she poured them each a cup of hot green tea.

"So, what's up? You look horrible." Sango said as she sat down.

Kagome stared down into her tea.

"I got a phone call just a little bit ago…"

"From who?"

"I'm not sure..but they…they kept saying that they were…the killer…" She mumbled

"What?" Sango was now staring at Kagome.

"Yea, I couldn't tell who or what it was. They just kept saying how they killed Kikyo. But, San-chan, I SAW InuYasha kill her. I saw it with my own…two…." She quit talking at that.

Tears began to flow from her eyes. They fell to the table and into her cup. She had not cried at all since the murder…and she was well over due for a few tears. Sango reached over and rubbed her back while whispering "Shh, it'll be okay, it'll all be okay."

"No it (sniff) won't. He'll be put in…in (sniff) prison, and I'll never get to be with…him..(sniff)."

"Kag-chan, maybe he really didn't do it. You know, my dad was a very famous very good cop who later became a self employed detective. He taught me a lot of things, and one thing he always said 'things are not always as they appear'. And he was right. Perhaps someone dressed up like Inu-chan and committed the murder." Sango offered.

"Maybe…" Kagome said feeling a little spark of hope in her heart.

"I'm sure that's the reason! In fact, I think I'm going to look into this case. My dad taught me a lot of things about this sorta stuff." She said and smiled.

Kagome looked up and smiled back.

"Thanks San-chan, you know how to make a girl feel good."

"That's what best friends are for."

Sango jumped from her seat and threw her arms around Kagome.

After a little while longer of sitting and chatting, Kagome left to go home.

Her head felt heavy, and her eyes strained. The lights from the passing cars felt like daggers piercing into her eyes. She only wanted to go home and sleep, to just sleep and never again awake. She wanted this all to go away, for everyone and everything to just leave her alone.

She walked slowly to her bedroom, shuffling her feet all the way. She didn't have much strength as of late. She just felt so drained and helpless. She fell onto her bed and a minute later, passed out.

RING!

RING!

"Gods! I'm up already!" She screamed.

She threw back the covers and stood up from her bed. The ringing, what was it.

RING!

"The phone!" She said and ran from her room down the hallway to her living room.

She grabbed the phone and held it to her ear, hoping it was good news.

"Miss Higurashi?" A voice asked.

"Yes, this is her."

"I have some terrible news." The voice said again. It was an official sounding voice.

"O…okay. What is it?"

"Do you know a Miss Sango Mizaho?"

"Yes, she's my friend."

"Miss, please have a seat for this."

Kagome sat down on her chair next to the phone. Her heart was racing. Had Sango gotten hurt?

"Are you seated?"

"Yes."

"Miss Sango Mizaho was found…..dead this morning…murdered."

Kagome dropped the phone. Her eyes became red and blurred with tears. Dead? Murdered? But how? Her body shook, it felt weak. How could all of this be happening.

Kagome picked the phone back up, her voice and body was shaking.

"Are…y..yo..you sure it was…he…her?"

"Yes, we're sure. I'm sorry for your loss Miss Higurashi." Said the voice before they hung up.

Kagome dropped the phone and fell to the floor from her chair. She cried hard into the plush carpet. She cried and she cried until there were no tears left. Her eyes became dry and hard to open. She curled up into a little ball on the floor and remained there. She didn't even bother to answer the door when someone knocked on it.

"Kag-chan?" A voice called.

"Kag-chan!" The voice said again frantic this time.

Who was calling her? Who was carrying her to her room…why were they here. Didn't anyone know by now that she wanted to be left alone.

Slowly her eyes drifted tightly closed and she fell into a dreamless horrible sleep.

Warm light spread across her body. She blinked her eyes before anything could come into focus. She was laying in her bed, the curtains were drawn back, it was light in the room..and warm.

"Good your awake."

Kagome looked to her side. There in a chair next to her bed sat Miroku. He was sitting with a blanket wrapped around his body. He smiled, but it was a sad one. His eyes looked bloodshot like he had cried. His hair was all messy, very unlike him. His clothes seemed to be wrinkly and unwanted.

"Miroku…what are you…"

"I figured…that after you heard the news…you'd need someone here by your side…"

"How did this happen…who did it….why?" She asked.

"Well…their not sure who done it or why…but their questioning InuYasha, he was released last night because they didn't have enough evidence on him. They say it's to coincidental that she was murdered the same night he was freed."

Silence filled the room.

"Miroku…InuYasha was your best friend….do you know why…he would have done this?"

"Truthfully Kag…I don't think he did it."

"How come?" She asked remembering that strange phone call.

"Well, I just don't think he's the kind of person to do that. You'd have to be real sick in the head to kill someone. Inu's a good guy, and he loved you. He would never of done anything to put your relationship in danger."

Kagome sat up in her bed. She stared at Miroku. She was sure that she looked like a total mess, but at this point and time, that didn't matter.

"Miroku….." She whispered softly.

He stared back at her. Slowly tears formed at the corner of his eyes. They streamed down his face silently. Sango had been his lover, his future wife…his soul mate. And now she was gone. There was nothing worse than losing the one you loved.

He bent down and laid his head in Kagome's lap. He laid there and cried for a long while. All the time he laid there Kagome could think only of losing InuYasha. She never wanted to be without him, and she never wanted anyone or anything to get in the way. She was going to find who was doing all of this to her, and seek revenge.
