A/N on a quick note in this chapter I will be describing a victim of a murder, and if you don't like details don't read that part or skip over it.

'Death, Drugs, and Pool Boys'

Part 2

These people were odd, he had to give them that. This was the first time that he had ever heard of the help eating at the same table as their employers. Sesshoumaru was the one who thought this while he sat at the table with the rowdy bunch of people who worked in the large mansion. Every one was talking avidly while they all waited for the cook to bring out dinner.

"You know," one man next to him started to say. "It didn't always used to be like this," the man continued.

"Oh really?" Sesshoumaru asked in mock curiosity. But the man was not discouraged.

"Yep, it was only two years ago, when Kagome-sama came to be with us that things changed. Such a kind woman, she really does bring out the best in people and then she can bring people of all kinds of background together, it is strange," the man continued. He was about to say something else when the Cook and his helpers came out with pots of stew. Once everyone's bowl was full, and their glasses also full, and the Cook and his helpers had sat down, Kagome rose to make an announcement.

"As you all (tries really hard not to type 'yall' here!) know our last Pool Boy, Hojo-Kun, left us a few months ago, but now we have a new member among us, who will also be the new Pool Boy, Sesshoumaru Karei. I hope that you have a wonderful stay with us. Now let's eat," Kagome said and sat back down digging into her bowl of oden.

"Kagome you can slow down, it isn't going any where," a girl next to Kagome said as Kagome shoved a large piece of tofu into her mouth. Kagome gave a muffled reply, but then chewed rapidly and then swallowed.

"But it is so good Sango –chan, I just can't stop eating it," Kagome said and stopped talking to use her mouth for more meaningful uses, that means she is stuffing her mouth once again.

By the time the meal was over Sesshoumaru had almost learned everyone's name. There were plenty of people who were at the table. Nearly all of them worked inside with the exception of the stable boy, Shippo, and of course, him who was now the official Pool Boy.

"If you all would excuse me I have to get back to work," Hiten said standing up and leaving the table to go back to his study. Sesshoumaru knew that he had to get in there, but first he had to learn their patterns and movements. Not only Hiten's, but also Kagome's and all the workers in the house, he did not want to get caught while sneaking through Hiten's things. He knew what had happened to the last Pool Boy. Even though he was the best undercover cop in his district, it still gave him shudders when he saw the divers pull the body from the bottom of the river. His feet were cemented into a bucket His heels were sliced, the tendons in his knees were torn, the white stringy tissue was very evident, and his kneecaps were bashed the bruising patters indicated that it was from a pall point hammer. His manly parts had been removed leaving his pelvis bone showing. He was gutted, and his arms were broken with his fingernails torn off along with his fingers broken at every knuckle. His face was singed along with his head. There were third degree burns on the top of his skull and you could see where the bone shone a bright white color. Also all his teeth seemed to have been pulled out one by one. They were lucky that he had not been in the water long. They finally got a match on his fingerprints; it came back as Akitoki Hojo. It was later discovered that he had worked for Hiten Kaminari as a Pool Boy. It was said that Hiten was angered that Hojo was taking such an interest in his girlfriend and had him sleeping with the fishes for it.

Sesshoumaru also excused himself from the table and retired to his room. He sat down on his bed with a sigh and stared at his still unpacked bags. Sesshoumaru sight once again and reached for the nearest bag to him. He opened it up and took the things he need for the bathroom and placed them in there. After doing his business in there, like brushing a mouthful of teeth, combing his extremely long silver hair. He checked the time. It was a quarter to eleven. He took out a notebook and wrote down all his observations for that day.

Day 26th May. Hiten Kaminari has met with Bankotsu Nana today. Their business is still unknown. The suspect's girlfriend seems to be a major influence on the staff and the suspect himself. The atmosphere is not as tense as I thought it would be when I first arrived here, thinking that they would not get too comfortable with someone new. But that was not the case at all, which will make my job a whole lot easier. Thankfully the girlfriend, Kagome Higurashi seems to have a liking for Pool Boys. That is all for today.

Sesshoumaru closed the notebook and placed it in his bag, a place where no one would find it, underneath the cardboard at the bottom of the bag. He striped down to a pair of boxers, and after checking the locks on his doors and windows, he turned off the lights and crawled into bed.

A/N: Would you look at that, another chapter! Ugh I should really be working on one of my other stories. My muse doesn't seem to be listening to me. He can be such an ass sometimes. But it is kind of sad that only fifteen people have read the first chapter, or well looked at the first chapter so far. I know that I have thirty some people on my author alert list thingy. But I know it is the weekend and you all are too tired to read it. Oh well yall know the drill, just read and review for me.
