Murder of 1960
By: AngelMiko289
Chapter 2
-

'Money is a thing; it has no feelings what so ever. It is something that we spend things on, clothes, and other necessities. But even money can't buy everything. It can't buy hatred, greed, kindness, and also happiness. But you know some way or another, in a way it can buy happiness. Money can let you buy material possessions, which can make you happy. But there is always a pit in your stomach, which even money can't satisfy. My father told me this when I was little, before he died. After his death I worked hard when I grew older, giving enough money to send me and Kohaku to college. Without thinking much about being happy with what I was doing. Now I have this pit in my stomach that won't go away… It makes you wonder if money is a good thing after all.'

Sango grumbled as she straightened out her pants and smoothed out the wrinkles in her shirt. Her lips pursed together as she as she knocked on a heavy wooden door. She opened it and peered inside. The chief was a small old man, with grayish-whitish kind of hair at the sides. He was completely bald on top of his head, and had a thorn-kind of beak like nose, and was wearing a pair of tiny glasses. He was reading a cream colored case file. Sango knew immediately knew what that meant, he was looking over an old case. The cream colored folder would look like a brown folder to an inexperienced eye; Sango guessed the folder was about 35 years old.
"Ahem, you wanted to talk to me sir?" she asked. The chief looked up and smiled then closed the case file.
"Ah… yes…. I wanted to see you about two things." He said as he took off his glasses. "One is that you have to show my grandsons around the police department, and give them this file. This file is very important, and only gives it to any of these three men, Inuyasha, Sessomaru, and Miroku. You must only give it to them. Understood?" he asked.
Sango nodded, understanding.
"And the second reason is that there have been five bodies found in a river. I believe this lake is named Lake Kyoshi, I want you to investigate it as soon as you're done with the first assignment," he said.
Sango nodded, processing the information, but then, something stopped in her brain. "You have grandsons!" she asked, alarmed.
The chief nodded, "but they are actually my god children. Their grandfather had died before any of them were born. So, their father said that I would be their god father and if anything happened to him, that I would take them under my care. And ever since they have been calling grandpa or grandfather, which ever they preferred."
Sango chuckled and then picked up the dusty cream file folder. "Thank you sir." She said as she was about to walk off.
The chief smiled, "Oh don't worry about it. But Sango, don't call me sir, it makes me sound like a sergeant. Call me Myoga."
"Yes si- I mean Myoga" she said as she opened the door, and walked out.
Myoga chuckled and looked at the black and white photo nearby his desk. He sighed as the photo contained a man around his early 40's in a police man's outfit, his silver hair and his unique gold eye, and his arm around his wife, that had long black hair, with purple eyes (Inuyasha's mother) with their two sons.
And another man was standing next to him, his short black hair tied into a rat's tail, and his arm around his pregnant wife. All of them were smiling and waving at the camera.
He sighed and then stood up, shoved his chair in, and left his office to greet his grandsons.

"MIROKU! IF YOU DON'T SLOW DOWN, I'LL FRIGGING KILL YOU! AND I'M SURE KAGOME WON'T MIND THAT HER FRIGGIN SOON TO BE HUSBAND'S FRIEND WILL BE IN LIMBS AND BONES!" screamed Inuyasha as he clutched the seat of the car. His fingernails dug into the leather. Miroku then took a swerve, and narrowly missing an old couple trying to hobble across the street.
Sessomaru stared at his brothers passively as one of them tried to yell at another, while another had a crazed grin on his face, and driving like a maniac. Then he decided to look out the window until they got there.
"We are here!" screamed Miroku cheerfully as he shut off the engine. Inuyasha came out, scowling, and rubbing his head. Unfortunately, Inuyasha got a headache when Miroku was driving.
Sessomaru coolly came out of the car, and then stared at the building for a minute. "Brother, isn't this where grandfather works?" he asked.
The police station was a semi-small building, with a bunch of windows, reflecting on what is inside. The building was a red-brick building and glass doors with police cars sitting in the parking lots. It basically looked like any other police building.
Miroku nodded. "Yeah… I took up a new hobby with cases that couldn't be solved, or why they did it. So I decided to take a 'part' time job doing it."
Both of his brothers stared at him weirdly.
"What? I just hacked into their database, and saw that they had a handful of cases unsolved." He said sheepishly.
Inuyasha nodded in agreement. "Yeah… I always enjoyed being a police officer. Unfortunately, I went to the business world, after the incident…" a moment of sadness reflected in his eyes as he thought about what had happened a couple of years ago, and started to walk into the building, after Miroku.
Sessomaru sighed and walked behind his brothers. As they entered in the station, they saw people scurrying about. Inuyasha smiled as he recognized the familiar atmosphere of the room.
'I guess Inuyasha would be used to the atmosphere around here… After all a few years ago he was a police officer…' Miroku pondered looking at his brother.
Then, their grandfather walked to them, with a woman around the age of 26 or 25. She was wearing a pair of blue pants that looked pretty worn out, a blue officer's shirt, brown eyes, and her long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
"Hey gramps!" said Inuyasha as the old man came to greet them. Inuyasha leaned down, and hugged the old man.
Myoga smiled at one of his 'grandsons' and hugged him back. "Hey Inuyasha. How's life in the business world?"
Inuyasha stood back up and smiled sheepishly. "It's okay. But not as fun as being a police officer, well to be more exact, it's boring as hell."
Sessomaru scowled at Inuyasha. "Hey, I resent to that!"
Miroku snickered. "Sure you do Sessomaru, because you've been a business man for almost all eternity."
Sessomaru scowl deepened and then he hugged his grandfather.
The man smiled and then hugged his grandsons. After he hugged all three of them, his happy expression turned serious.
"Miroku, why would you need this particular case file?" he asked, as his head swiveled at his purple haired grandson.
Miroku's smile turned into a serious frown. "Hey, grandpa, can we go to your office?" he asked.
Their grandfather, nodded, and then the odd group went back into Myoga's office.
"Before we discuss why you want this case file Miroku, I want to introduce all of you properly. Miroku, Inuyasha, Sessomaru, this is Sango, Sango meet my 'grandsons'" Myoga introduced.
Inuyasha grinned, Sessomaru let out a tiny smile, and went back to his passive posture, and Miroku smiled, and took out his hand.
"Nice to meet you Lady Sango. May I ask you a question? Will you bare my child?" Miroku asked, as he knelt on one knee and grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Sango blushed after he kissed her hand, and then her face turned purple with rage.
"Please repeat the last part…. I didn't catch that…" Sango growled.
Inuyasha and Sessomaru gulped, begging Miroku to NOT say that last part.
As well as we know Miroku, he can be pretty gullible sometimes. Of course, he repeated the last part.
"Will you bare my child?" he asked again. But before he got a chance to kiss her hand, Sango took out a large boomerang from nowhere, and smacked him on the head repeatedly, until he was finally on the ground.
Inuyasha frowned. "Miroku, even though you are my brother… Sometimes you are a big pervert…" he said as he passed the unconscious Miroku and sat in a chair.
"And I thought you didn't want to get a love life." Sessomaru chuckled gleefully, seeing that his brother was down as he passed him and also sat in a chair next to Inuyasha.
Sango was swearing a long lone of curses as she stomped and took her place next to the chief.
Myoga sighed. 'Typical Miroku… Now I see how he and his father are related…' he thought as he sat in his chair.

After a few minutes, Miroku woke up, and listened to Inuyasha and the rest, while they were having small chat.
"So Sango, what inspired you to become a police officer?" asked Sessomaru sipping his coffee.
"Well, my dad was a well known police man in my home town. My brother and I were taught how to use various weapons when we were little. Then my dad moved here, and got a job as a police officer. After I graduated four years of college, I joined the police force. So basically you can say that the police blood is running through our veins" said Sango, as she was cooling down her hot chocolate.
"So Inuyasha, why did you become a business man? I've heard that you were one of the greatest."
Inuyasha froze as his lips were about to sip his cappuccino. Miroku decided to stop playing dead, and look conscious.
"Sooo… Gramps! Are you ready to show me the case file?" Miroku said as he sprung up and wiped off the dirt.
"ACK!" Sango spewed her hot chocolate out, and stared at Miroku in the mixed emotion of surprise, and also a bit of anger. Actually a bit would be an understatement.
"I'd like to apologize again for my brother's forwardness. You see, his father's side of the family has this curse that has to do something with wandering hands." Sessomaru remarked politely as he set his cup down.
"You can be free to hit him anytime that he acts lecherous!" Inuyasha declared cheerfully as he smacked his brother on the head for good measure.
Miroku frowned. "Hey! I don't act lecherous all the time!"
Everyone in the room looked at him and frowned.
"Right… That would be the day that pigs fly," Myoga snorted.
Miroku sighed and looked at his grandfather once again. "Gramps. Just give me the case file."
Myoga sighed, and handed the case file to Miroku. Miroku grabbed the file, and begun looking through it.
Sango, looked slightly over his shoulder, not trying to look too obvious.
Before she got a chance to look at it, he snapped the case file shut, and looked at his grandfather gravely.
"Hey, Gramps, thanks for the visit, but I really have to go. I just remembered that I had an appointment in 30 minutes."
"Thanks for spending sometime with us grandfather." Sessomaru said politely as he bend down and hugged his grandfather.
Inuyasha nodded. "Yeah, maybe we can catch up later" he said as he walked out of the door with Miroku and Sessomaru.
Myoga smiled, waved, and sighed.
"Sango, can you go do your other assignment?" Myoga asked as he sat down.
Sango nodded. "Yes, sir!" she said as she walked off.
Myoga sighed and placed his arms on his desk, as his forehead creased in wonder. "What would Miroku want with an old case file?"

.:Sango's POV:.
When I walked out of the office, I just wanted to sleep in. But, unfortunately I have a job to do. I sighed in exasperation, and went back into my cramped office space, and put the top part of my police uniform on, and put my gun in my pocket.
I grabbed my car keys, and walked to my battered police car, and unlocked it.
In it, were the normalties that the police car should have, like a box of cuffs nearby, just in case, and etc… But when I looked at my car seat, I saw something unusual there. It was a bottle of some kind.
I never have any types of bottles, except water bottles, and definitely no perfumes.
I sighed as I threw the perfume bottle out, and started the engine and backed up.
I went through what Myoga had told me earlier. Five bodies have been found in Kyoshi Lake, which was very uncommon.
Lake Kyoshi, is a widely populated lake. Who would want to commit such a crime?
I made a U-turn at the park near Kyoshi Lake and made a right. I peered through my window, and saw the ambulance, some grown-ups covering their kids' eyes at the horrific sight.
There were two people I knew already at the scene. Ayame Yokimaru, a forensic scientist, was examining the remains, and the police officer Koga Yokimaru.
I parked nearby, and walked up to Ayame, who was taking notes, while peering underneath the white sheet.
"Ayame, I need to know the status of the people that were killed." I stated.
Ayame, turned around, her emerald eyes filled with deep sadness.
"There are two kids and three adults that were killed. It seemed that they must have been left there yesterday. They were all shot, probably by a rifle from long distance." She sighed as her hands ran through her hair.
"Only the two kids were recognized by their parents. The adults however… they can't be recognized. Their bodies are scarred with multiple bruises, not to mention that all their hair has been cut off, but also it seems that their teeth were pulled out as well." a familiar voice said quietly.
I turned around, and saw Shippo standing there, his eyes brows furrowed in concentration.
I grimaced at the description. "Is this all true?"
Ayame nodded. "Not only that. It seems that one of the kids was one that attended Kohaku's school Sango…"
Ayame lifted the sheet, and I gasped at the sight of the face.
It was Anna.

"MIROKU! WHEN WE GET TO THE NEXT STOP, I'M GONNA CALL MY LAWYER AND ASK IF I CAN SUE MY OWN BROTHER!" yelled Inuyasha as he held on to the leather seats.
"Relax Inuyasha. I'm not planning to purposely nor accidentally crash us into an inanimate object or an animated object." Miroku said with a light tone in his voice, as he swerved to the U-turn.
"I think I'm going to be sick…." Muttered Sessomaru as his face started to turn green.
"Shut up you guys! Sheesh! You guys are worse whiners then Rin and Kag." Miroku said.
"KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE ROAD YOU DUMBASS!" yelled Inuyasha as he placed his hands on the wheel, in prevention of them crashing into an old lady with her grandson.
Miroku grinned sheepishly as Inuyasha attempted to drive the car from the backseat.
"DAMN MIROKU! WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LICENSE! DRIVER'S KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE!" yelled Inuyasha, while Miroku slammed the breaks in front of a nearby store.
"Actually Inuyasha… Mushin passed me…" Miroku muttered.
Sessomaru, sweatdropped. "Brother, you tell me that you let that car maniac teach you how to drive?"
Inuyasha slammed his head against his hand. "I can't believe that we even considered you to drive the car. Next time, Sessomaru, is going to drive."
But when he looked up, he saw that Miroku was gone. When he looked farther, he saw Miroku crossing the road going to a nearby park. Inuyasha squinted his eyes, and saw that there was a yellow line, blocking the pathway, as well as police cars in the parking lot of the park.
"Damn…" muttered Sessomaru, as he wrinkled his nose in disgust. "I smell the scent of death brother."
Inuyasha eyes widened, and started to run down the road, over to the park that Miroku was headed.

.:Miroku's POV:.

While Inuyasha was yelling a lecture at me, my eyes started to stray around the place where we were. It was around Kyoshi Lake. It was a famous attraction site around here, and it still is. But, when my eyes landed on the lake, there were police cars, and officers swarming the Lake.
'What the fuck? I thought Kyoshi Lake is an attraction sight. Not a place where it is allowed for the public officers to swarm the place. I wondered what happened.'
As soon as I knew it, I was crossing the road, and coming to the scene. I looked at the yellow tape, and ducked under it, not really caring if anyone caught me.
I snuck behind a tree and heard a conversation. When I heard the word 'killed' I knew it was a homicide case. I leaned closer to hear what the voices where saying.
"It seemed that they must have been left there yesterday. They were all shot, probably by a rifle from long distance." A feminine voice said sadly.
"Only the two kids were recognized by their parents. The adults however… they can't be recognized. Their bodies are scarred with multiple bruises, not to mention that all their hair has been cut off, but also it seems that their teeth were pulled out as well." a deeper voice remarked as he appeared abruptly in the conversation.
My mouth widened, as I heard the descriptions. 'Why would anyone what to do that with anybody at all?' I pondered as I tried to crane my neck further.
"Oi, brother. This is a restricted area. Why the fuck are you here? There's a putrid smell of death." I heard a voice whisper softly.
I turned around and saw Inuyasha, looking at me with his thick eyebrow raised. I frowned and pointed where I was looking at.
"I overhearing the conversation Inu. It seems like a homicide. Can you look closer at the body?" I asked as Inuyasha leaned forward and I stepped away.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, pin pointing where one of the bodies where. His eyes widen as I tried to peer over his shoulder.
He turned around. His hands clenched tightly, a trickle of blood ran down his hand, as he growled softly.
"What did you see?" I asked. Inuyasha's amber eyes narrowed with anger.
"It's a kid around the age of 18 maybe. She's really pale, her hair is naturally white. She was covered with bruises, and… and… her spine appears to be broken in half as well as the rest of her limbs." Inuyasha softly said.
I gritted my teeth. "Why would a person do such a thing? That's just unnatural."
Inuyasha nodded, his bangs still covering his eyes. "I've seen a murder similar to this one. It was before the incident….

'FlashBack'
Inuyasha was sitting in his police car as usual, drinking some ocha, and had an energy bar.
'Requesting for backup. Four bodies have been found nearby Kingsberry Road. I repeat. There has been four bodies discovered at Kingsberry Road. Requesting all officers at the scene.' Rang the small intercom.
"Finally some action around here." He muttered as he sat up, and placed on his seat belt, and drove away from his post.
When Inuyasha came, he saw one of his friends, Koga, standing there, his face grim and white.
"What's wrong? I've heard that they requested back up here." Inuyasha asked, his face turned into a frown as he saw his friend.
"Ayame said that the bodies where in poor condition Inuyasha. She thinks that the people couldn't have survived even if they wanted to. In the condition they were in, she says they died in a few hours after they were taken" replied Koga as he wringed his hands.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "What the fuck do you mean? You mean they were kidnapped for a couple of hours, and they come back after a few hours dead? That's not possible. The murder killed for people. You'd think that they'd put of fight of somewhat."
Koga nodded. "I know, but that's not all. All the victims were around the age of twenty. We also can't figure out what their identities at all. Their hair seems to be cut off with a razor, their teeth pulled out what seems like with some string or a wrench. But do you know what the worse part is? Their faces have the expression with unspeakable horror on it, like it was someone they knew once and a while was killing them slowly."
Inuyasha's amber eyes widen. "Who would do that?"
Koga sighed. "It's not who that is also important. It's why." He gritted his teeth, in anger on why would anyone would do it.
"Was there a clue to who would've done it?" asked Inuyasha.
"No it wasn't really a clue. But one of them females had something in her hand that seemed to be terribly burned. It was something extremely flammable. Hair DNA… a piece of paper… Even a napkin might've been it." He sighed.
"Well, wasn't there any material possessions near any of the bodies?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well now you mentioned it. There was a bottle of perfume inside the pockets and purses of the victim's bodies." Koga remarked thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin with his hand.
"Can I see the bodies?" asked Inuyasha.
"Sure… I guess."
Both Inuyasha and Koga walked to the site where they were found, and ducked under some restricted site tape.
They saw Ayame, looked at the bodies, and putting on some white gloves.
"Ayame, can I look at the bodies?" asked Inuyasha.
Ayame looked up at him, and nodded. Her emerald eyes reflected tiredness, as well as sadness for the victims as well as families. "Yeah… The victims are badly damaged though. It'll be hard to identify them."
Inuyasha sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Yes Ayame, I've realized that. Can I please look at them?"
Ayame sighed, and drew back the sheet that covered the body. Inuyasha stifled a gasp. The bodies where indeed horrific. He sniffed slightly, and wrinkled his nose.
"These victims were poisoned with miasma first. They reek of the stench. No wonder it doesn't look like they struggled." He muttered as he grabbed one of the gloves from a nearby box and poked at the victim.
Koga's eyebrow rose. "What's miasma?" he asked.
Inuyasha sighed. "It's a type of poison that can't be detected by an ordinary chemist. Let alone a scientist. It can be detected as a purple substance, which smells like putrid death. That's what I've heard anyways. It's mostly placed in drinks, or in perfume bottles… Wait… Koga, you told me that each of the victims had a perfume bottle in the pockets and purses. Were most of them female?" (1)
Koga had a confused look. "Yeah… Each one of them had a bottle that had a word on it that can't be read… I think it was called MUERTE or something like that…."
Inuyasha smacked his head. "Of course…" he muttered as he sat up, and pulled off the glove. "MUERTE means 'death' in Spanish. I wonder why the killer chose those particular victims."
Koga shrugged. "So far, we've looked through the female's purses, it seems that only the perfume bottle and notes are left in each one of their purses. It read that
'The murderer of 1960 lives on. Let the people of the country fear me, as their doom will come soon.'
Murderer of 1960

Inuyasha shivered, and looked at me sternly. "We have to get back to Sessomaru. He'll probably have our heads if we stand here a second longer.
I nodded. "Yeah… Let's go before Sess gets our heads."
'Inuyasha, my brother, I think you've just given me a clue to who murdered them. But the question is why….'

A/N: That was pretty short. It only took me 14 pages, and it took me 3 days to complete it… he he… Gomen! Anyways, I would like to thank the following two reviewers!
Miroku-lover22
Demon Exterminator Barbie
Thank you for the nice reviews! I really hope that you enjoy the story as it continues onward.
Now for the explanations:
1.The Miasma in this ficcie is different from the anime series. As which, the miasma is used as a poison gas, and I think destroys live stock and knock people out when they sniff it…. I think… please correct me if I'm wrong. In this fic however, it's a different. It'll still be purple, and a poisonous gas, it can also be turned into a type of powder. When in contact with human flesh, it takes about 5 minutes to kill the victim. When smelt, it will knock the person unconscious, but if the human DNA is combined with something else, then it wouldn't really effect them, just make them woozy and say that it smells the death.
Anyways, please your comments, and reviews could be greatly appreciated! Please no FLAMES! Thank you!
