Chapter 6- Diplomatic Solutions

Scandalous Investigations

Tetsuya watched as the Inu-hanyou began questioning their detained suspect. The whole thing seemed quite bizarre to him. Here they were, inside a now major drug distributor's house and there wasn't a single act of opposition against them. The guy was either very, very stupid or, as Tetsuya most feared, this man was expendable. In every case Tetsuya had investigated involving drugs; every major distributor carried some sort of entourage close by. It was unheard of for such a powerful drug to be sold in Tokyo and not be protected; expendable or not. Tetsuya let out a small sigh before tuning his attention to the outside; looking through the sullied window he had entered from. He had arrived in the apartment moments after Inuyasha had completely ruined his "plan."

'Well…maybe plan isn't the best word. More like a comedy skit for my own interest.' Tetsuya wished Inuyasha had stuck with his original idea of a homosexual seduction. It would have done the job and provided him with a laugh. Although, after all the time he has known Inuyasha, how could he ever expect him to give up a fist fight for something like that?

"First question," Inuyasha snarled, gripping the man's face even tighter, "Tell me everything you know about the drug-trafficking going on!"

Tetsuya mentally put his hand to his head, letting out a small groan. 'You idiot. That was a damn command, not a question!' Fortunately enough, the man was preoccupied with the burning grasp on his jaw to notice this syntactical error.

"I-I don't…know what you're talking-" The hanyou's grasp moved to the man's collar and Inuyasha raised the him closer.

"Shut up. When was the last time you saw your little human bitch?" Inuyasha was deploying a strategy he commonly used during interrogations. He would combine physical pain with quick and confusing statements and questions. The overall stress exerted on a human mind would be enough to force the suspect to submit to the real question at hand.

"Who? What are you-wait, you mean Noriko?"

"Does it matter? Judging by your scent, I'm guessing you don't really keep track of names do ya?"

The stench coming from the man was absolutely repugnant, though, no one with half a mind would have dared comment on such a thing. For one thing, to comment on a suspect's choice of women or on his sex life was highly unethical. No one likes to have people comment on their sex lives; it's a personal thing and should be treated as such. Even more, The Department had a policy of keeping scent out of the discussion unless absolutely necessary. A few years back, a youkai was released from court after an officer had discriminated against her, stating that she smelled of "rotting corpses, just like the rest of them." Smell was a touchy subject in the courts but could no doubt land Inuyasha some community service on charges of reverse discrimination.

All the man could do was glare at Inuyasha, afraid to even answer the question since he understood now the hanyou wasn't interested in any of his answers.

Inuyasha took his free hand and put his fist to the man's right cheek, bruising the outside and causing him to bite down on his own tongue. "I ain't in the mood to deal with your dirty looks. Answer my damn questions and you won't get hit." Inuyasha smirked at the man before asking his next question. "So, Shiro, whatever happened to your neko-youkai whore? I thought you two had run off to settle together."

Shiro spat on the ground, releasing the blood from his mouth. Then he looked at the Inu-hanyou.

"I don't know any fucking neko-youkai!" He shouted at Inuyasha.

"Bullshit. We talked her mother. She identified you as her boyfriend. Now, stop giving me your damn lip and answer my fucking questions before I get angry."

Shiro contemplated for a moment before answering. He needed to tell these guys something to get them off of his back. It wasn't like he knew anything that important anyway.

"She walked out on me awhile ago okay? She said I had my head too far up my ass to pay attention to her. She said she was sick of-" Shiro's mouth went agape for a split second but he soon closed it. 'Damn it.'

Inuyasha shook Shiro a few times, attempting to get some more information out of him. Shiro had slipped up and he knew it. He knew more than he was letting on and Inuyasha was going to find out what the hell it was. Inuyasha flexed the claws in his left hand. They cracked menacingly has the rage built within the amber eyes of the Inu-hanyou.

"Listen to me you little fucker," Inuyasha growled into the man's face, "Tell me the whole damn story now and I promise not to claw your face off later!"

"Alright, okay! Just…look, she was tired of being around me. Said I was abusing her and…that she didn't want to take part in the "fun" anymore." Inuyasha had a quizzical look on his face, wondering what the hell he meant. Shiro read it like a book. "Some of the guys, and myself, used to take turns…"

Inuyasha threw the man against the wall, then rushed up and pinned him, holding his claws to the man's neck.

"You mean to tell me you guys used to gang-rape her!" Inuyasha roared into Shiro's face, "You sick, perverted bastards!"

A small and sickly smile began spreading itself across Shiro's face.

"Yeah, we did. You should have been there detective. She was such a whore, always crying out for me, begging for me to make it stop. She acted like it was such a bad thing, yet every-time I told her they'd be over soon, she never once opted to leave. She stayed in the house like a good-girl and fucked us dry like she was supposed to." His smile had grown even more, displaying his arrogance and pride in the history he had shared with the young neko-youkai. He looked hard at Inuyasha, trying to borough a way into Inuyasha's morality core, attempting to shatter it and make the hanyou hunger for what he had. Shiro knew damn well that it was, Spring, hell, everyone with-in a three-hundred mile radius knew it but, Shiro was going to exploit it and get the hell out.

"You should have been there demon. You two could have given us quite a show. She was always so wet, no matter how many times we tried to get her to…"calm down," she was always so damn aroused. Who are we to deny such a lady her natural rights? God she was a beauty; a firm ass, perfect breasts that bounced with every thrust. You really should have been there…"

Inuyasha's hand began shaking slightly. What kind of man did this to another being? It was more than that though. It was an issue of pride. He may have been a half-breed but he was still a demon. It embarrassed him to know that another demon could have been treated in such a way and not done anything. Even worse, it was a group of humans; weak, cruel and stupid humans. Inuyasha lowered his head to avoid his storyteller's gaze. The ignorance of man, the shame of his demon blood and the steady arousal growing from the discussion of intercourse were deteriorating his good mood. He gripped the Shiro's collar even tighter, still averting the cynical eyes in-front of him.

"So what happened after she left you?"

Tetsuya had asked the next question from his position in the doorway, noticing that Inuyasha was in no shape to question, only listen at the moment and that Shiro was just about to get to the information he wanted. Tetsuya had a hunch that Shiro was saying more than he wanted to and, if he could keep it up, Inuyasha and he may get more information than they had hoped for.

"Oh, she went out and led a grand life." Shiro answered, sarcasm woven between each word. "Turns out she led her life dream." Shiro smirked once more at the Inu-hanyou, "She became a slut, giving back-alley blowjobs and fucks for nearly nothing." Shiro stopped thinking and rushed the words from his mouth like a fountain, letting them flow into the back of Inuyasha's mind to devour his moral.

"She got a job working for some whore-house a little ways south of here." He leaned his mouth close to Inuyasha's ear. "Want to know a secret demon? When I came to see her, she was high as shit with the needle in her arm. She was even trying to buy the shit from me. She pleaded, begged, for me to give her what she needed to make it through the day. So…" The sickly smile once again opened and Inuyasha could feel the corners of his mouth as they widened.

"I gave it to her. We all did. Everyone in there fucked her after she shot up. You'd be surprised what these drugs could do to people. Just from the one hit I gave her caused her to completely lose touch with reality and let her enjoy all of men in her face. It was probably the best night of my life; to watch her take in all of those guys, five at one time, and let each of them experience all of the pleasure they could. You really have no clue how good it was, how good it feels to hold this power."

Inuyasha let Shiro go and he fell on his hind-side. Inuyasha was going to kill this guy if someone didn't stop him. He didn't care if he lost his job, was thrown in jail or whatever. This guy needed to die. 'Tetsuya, if you plan on stopping me, you better do it now.' He thought.

Tetsuya wasn't a mind reader but, god be damned if he didn't let on like he was that day. Tetsuya moved towards Inuyasha and guided him out of the way. Tetsuya turned to look at Shiro, who looked content at the reaction he had garnered from the other wise silent detective. The deep-blue eyes of the Fushichou-hanyou starred at the man on the ground. His eyes void of emotion and compassion. Tetsuya drew the .45 from the holster inside his jacket and fired a round straight into Shiro's leg.

He cried in pain as the bullet penetrated through his knee-cap. Shiro's head outstretched to scream out against the action. Tetsuya quickly brought his hand over the man's mouth and kneeled down mere inches form his face.

"Listen to me and listen good Shiro." Tetsuya said, his eyes still void of any regret for what he had done, "Don't you ever underestimate me. I know you thought I wasn't a demon. That's why you whispered into the mutt's ears. I can hear you goddamn it. I'm getting sick of your in-cooperation and I need some answers. Where are you getting your drugs. Now."

Shiro just wriggled in Tetsuya's grasp, trying to break free from his hand and escape, despite the fact that he wouldn't be able to walk. His basic human instinct was taking, the one that told him to flee in front of the impossible, to try to evade death.

Tetsuya brought the handgun to Shiro's shoulder and fired again. He was rewarded with warm blood as it spurted from the wound. The spray from impact had splashed small droplets of blood onto Shiro's face as he screamed in agony again, masked by the oppressive hand over his mouth.

"Name. Give me a name."

Inuyasha only watched, frozen by the irrational outburst of his partner. Agent Kuzuki wasn't one to take such action on a suspect, no matter how irritating or cruel they may seem. Not only was it irrational, it was nearly a violation of their pardon to inflict such debilitating pain onto their suspect. The pardon covered only covered physical abuse like beating with fists or a "soft" object. The idea was originally conceived after it was apparent that many demons would only talk to interrogators after abuse. At the time, it seemed like a good way to remove some limits off of officers to get a job done but to see the policy's right used on a human was frightening, even if Tetsuya hadn't used a firearm.

What's more, Tetsuya had never fired his gun upon a criminal. In the entire year Inuyasha had worked with him, Tetsuya had pulled his gun out a total of fifteen times and had only fired it at the summer festival last year. For the most part Tetsuya was a well-handled and well-meaning person. Sure, he could be a jerk but, it was always in a sarcastic or humorous way. To see him acting like this would be a shock to anyone who had known him for even awhile.

"I'm sorry, you must be terribly confused right now. You were probably so busy fucking around that you didn't notice my claws." Tetsuya said as he kept his hand over Shiro's mouth. "Yes, I am a hanyou. No, you're not going to die here. And yes, you are going to rot in a cell while your ass feels a sting every time you shower."

Tetsuya moved his pistol and pressed it firmly into Shiro's stomach.

"This is your last chance. If you don't want to feel anymore pain, answer my question and pray to your god that I like what I hear."

Shiro stopped struggling for a minute and looked pleadingly into Tetsuya's eyes. He was greeted by complete emptiness. It became apparent to Shiro that the game was up. There were tears in his eyes from the bullet wounds but he would have to focus long enough to give the detectives what they needed. Tetsuya removed his hand, allowing Shiro to share the knowledge he had.

They hadn't talked since the incident earlier in the day. It was surreal, as if it hadn't actually occurred. Neither of them could have possibly been that room could they? Nothing like that had ever happened before and, hopefully, never would again.

Inuyasha had taken himself home via rooftops after Kuzuki managed to obtain what they needed. He had figured Tetsuya would probably want to be alone after something like that. Still, what had possessed him to do such a thing? Inuyasha just shrugged it off and continued devouring the contents of ceramic bowl in front oh him.

'Ain't like anything can be done about it now. I'm sure Kuzuki can "sweet talk" the lieutenant out of firing his ass.' Inuyasha thought as some misguided noodles strands landed upon his face.

Ramen. What else would you expect Inuyasha to eat after such a stressful day? Inuyasha would never just leave Tetsuya after a day like that unless it was extremely important. He hadn't eaten all day and he needed to eat something. Though "something" to eat doesn't necessarily mean six cups of ramen to most people, it was but a small meal for the Inu-hanyou.

Inuyasha's demon hearing heard the car pull up in front of the complex. It was about the time that Shiro had given them to seek out his supplier. Inuyasha groaned.

"He could have waited a while longer." Inuyasha strode over to the window, yelling outside at the blue car parked on the sidewalk. "He said between ten-fifteen and ten-thirty, not at ten-fifteen you baka."

Inuyasha leapt from the window next to Tetsuya. He looked like a mess. Kuzuki had bags under his eyes, some strands of his hair had fallen from their normal shape into his face and his normal happy countenance had vanished into a veil of sadness and regret.

"I figured we should get this over with now. If we can nail a supplier now, we'll have our kingpin in a matter of days." Tetsuya offered up a fake smile, trying to hide the sadness in his voice. "You know the work we're famous for. This won't be too hard."

"Feh. Fine." Inuyasha said, climbing into the passenger seat. Immediately after, Tetsuya entered the car and drove it west of their location.

Most of the trip was silent, aside from the occasional car that they passed. It wasn't an odd or uncomfortable silence, nor was the energy throughout the space tense or sorrowful. Inuyasha and Tetsuya were anxious to finally be so close to the end of this. It had only been a week but considering their reputation, it was a long time. When you put one Inu-hanyou, who has heightened senses of hearing and scent and throw in a Fushichou-hanyou who has some startling abilities of his own, it shouldn't take that long to find a case.

Take, for instance, a kidnapping case they had been assigned five months ago. A young boy in the Tokyo area had been abducted on a Tuesday, between seven in the morning and six at night. Tetsuya had begun questioning the child's teacher while Inuyasha dealt with the parents. Normally, partners wouldn't deal on the same case separately but this one case was an exception.

They had made a bet. Not a large one but one that Inuyasha couldn't afford to lose. The deal was that is Inuyasha could find this child before Tetsuya; he would pay for Inuyasha's ramen for two weeks. Count the amount of cups of finished ramen Inuyasha has eaten and you can see why this is such a big deal. On the other hand, If Inuyasha lost this; he would be restricted from ramen for two weeks. Tough call, eh? To make a long investigation short, Inuyasha's senses and Tetsuya's speed turned the bet into a tie. So, a true man of his word, Tetsuya bought the equivalent of two weeks worth of ramen for Inuyasha. Unfortunately, Inuyasha had to just sit there and watch it beg to be eaten for two weeks. They actually still argue about it on occasion. Apparently thirteen days, twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds isn't close enough to two weeks. Go figure.

The detectives pulled over to a curb, exactly sixty-meters from their target. Shiro had done well considering he had only been a tool to be used. As Inuyasha had originally suspected, Shiro was just a puppet of the puppeteer. A no-name party-boy and chain-smoker, Shiro had been in serious debt when he decided to distribute illegal narcotics.

It began small, miniscule profits from over-sea drug-lords, mainly from America, Mexico and South Korea, smuggling in cocaine, methamphetamine and raw opium. A few months in, Shiro was contacted to make a little extra cash from a demon. This youkai wouldn't give out their actual name but gave an alias codenamed: Katya. The name was ironic however, considering it was a name meaning pure in Russia, however, drug-trafficking is anything but pure. Back to the subject at hand, "Katya" had contacted Shiro, inquiring if he would be willing to push some "petty drugs" into the streets. Naturally, the story progresses from there. Many people try it, many people die from it, Shiro and "Katya" make loads of money and our detectives come in to clean it up.

Hardly simple. For one thing, it was obvious to the Medical Examiners, detectives and obviously the men behind it, that this drug was anything but petty. To raise death rates that high check pointed a new tier in stimulants and toxins.

Secondly, and one of the most important things, "Katya" was a Russian name. The idea of having Russians shipping drugs into Tokyo was a disaster as far as any cop or politician was concerned. To think that Eastern countries could be as careless as to allow drugs to be shipped form their ports, into Japan was a disgrace on both parties. Even more, what will be done if it turns out this "Katya" really is Russian? It's always possible that this person could be using a random name out of privacy and security issues but, if they actually were Russian, then the possibility of theories turned accusations and, accusations into actions would be a serious threat. Japan and Russia could start a war over who was to blame over drug rates. As farfetched as it seems, there are a number of underlying events that could influence this. As was mentioned earlier, World War Two didn't exactly happen as one might expect it to.

Tetsuya powered down the engine, letting the headlights and interior lighting shut off. The light of the neon signs flickered and attached themselves to the paint on the car, cloaking its appearance amongst the others who would seek this night to explore these buildings. After a few more moments of silence, Inuyasha spoke, relaying a plan he had been concocting in that one-track head of his.

"It's a woman. She is a youkai but she can't be that powerful. If we move quickly and move low we can take her and ship her back to HQ."

"Possibly, but I'm not sure if I want to send this on back right away. They might release her considering the amount of trouble I may be in once the Lieutenant gets a hold of me. It's best if we get some answers now as opposed to letting it all fall later. Just a few more pieces to this puzzle and we'll have what we need for the sting. Agreed?"

"Feh. You always undermine what I say." Inuyasha said, lowering his eyelids on the Fushichou-hanyou. "I guess, but you take lead. I…" Inuyasha looked down, trying to find the words to state his reasons.

Tetsuya only starred out of the front window. Inuyasha didn't have to say anything. He knew why.

Agents Kuzuki and Tadashi had passed through this part of town only once before and even then it was disgusting. Enlisted Men's clubs, Nightclubs, All-Night Bars, Strip clubs, Sexual-business clubs, nothing but alcohol, sex and clubs for nearly two square miles. Everyone dressed their part, the whores, the employees, the business men and the youkai Inuyasha had mentioned was no exception. Black-hair, particularly skimpy clothing (use your imagination), and the air of someone content with selling their body for money. Though, whether or not she actually did or not was not the detectives concern. They already knew she was a supplier and they aimed to bring her in. Whether she actually had sexual relations with various people for income wasn't their problem in the least. Still, one look and everybody who had been briefed about (at this point, no one) the incident outside of Tokyo would know why Inuyasha wanted to take rear.

'Sadly though Inuyasha,' Tetsuya thought to himself, 'I may need the leverage.'

"Understood. Follow in behind me. Ten meters and seven seconds. Go."

They exited the car, Inuyasha trailing behind by the agreed upon ten meters. Tetsuya was close to reaching the youkai. Luckily, he looked like a stupid human and his smell wasn't as inviting as Inuyasha's. If smell could be translated into words, it would most likely read "Back Off or Die." Still, when has a whore been known to pay attention to warning? Have you checked the average percentage of raped prostitutes lately? It's quite remarkable how stupid these people are really.

The youkai greeted him with a lustful smile. Twisting her body to him in an attempt to get him to stare. After all, curiosity leads to taste, taste leads to touch and touch leads to cash.

"Well, I don't get see a new face that much." She leaned up into his ear, "It's quite the night when we do though."

Tetsuya let a smirk show as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Let's talk waste time with talk. Shiro sent me. He said you might have something that I'm willing to pay good money to try."

"Well, well, what a surprise. What a naughty boy Shiro has been, divulging secrets like that. Oh well, I won't tell anyone if you won't."

"Probably, given the right…" Tetsuya lowered his voice into a sensual tone, "Incentive…Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha sprinted over to where Tetsuya was with the youkai. Their position was a bit unnecessary but that could be sorted out and used as blackmail later. By the time Inuyasha reached four meters and five seconds out, Tetsuya turned himself and the youkai around, cutting some of her clothing in the process.

'Damn you Kuzuki.' Inuyasha thought as his mind began to lose its control over the dominant demon gene.

Yes, Agent Kuzuki was using Agent Tadashi. It wouldn't be the first time and its ethicality could be debated all up to the top but normally it wasn't a big thing for the two to do things like this all of the time. The detectives had never set up a plan that they had followed right to the very letter. There were always various last-minute changes one would make, normally just to get it done their way.

Kuzuki had cut off most of the top of the youkai's outfit (again, this where where imagination comes in. Doesn't matter what outfit I or you pick. The same shit is still going to happen) exposing her bare chest for the Spring infected Inu-hanyou to see. Inuyasha acted predictably, switching his control instantaneously and making a mad dash towards the youkai. At fifty centimeters out, Tetsuya deployed a barrier to keep Inuyasha from getting to her. Crude, yet effective considering in his demon state, Inuyasha's mind would be even slower than it normally was in terms of everything but combat (basically intellect and understanding), so he just sat there trying to slash away at the damn barrier, to no avail. Actually, if anyone had been there to see the event. It would have been quite amusing.

Kuzuki dispatched the .45 from his holster and used the arm to capture hers, holding the gun to the temple of her head.

"Don't speak. Shiro made it difficult for us, don't repeat his mistake. If you do, well…" Tetsuya paused to let "Katya" watch as the sex driven hanyou attempted to claw into his barrier, deliberately altering the strength to make it seem as though he was struggling to keep him out.

"You can see what you'll get. I know you're a supplier. You're going to tell me who, where you keep it, when his next inspection is, where he'll be and anything else you can blab before my barrier fails."

Tetsuya wedged the gun under her chin and pushed it so she'd look at his face. His eyelids were closed and he had a content smile on his face. 'Checkmate.'

"It's Katya right?"
