Kagaome sighed as she looked out the window of her hospital room, waiting for the police to come in and question her about her attack. A flash of lightning briefly lit up the drab hospital room as thunder soon rumbled behind it.
"Heh looks like another storm…" she thought to herself as the beeping of the heart moniter continued in the background.
"Ahem….." a voice coming from the doorway of the room startled her and she whirled around knocking over the iv pole. In the door way stood a a wet beraggled jogger, wearing a red and black jogging shirt and matching shorts that somehow looked familiar but she couldn't place where she had seen them.
Seeing her startled look he laughed and quickly bent down setting the iv pole upright. "I'm detective Kouga Okami. I was the nearest one on the scene and I didn't have time to change clothes. As I was technically on the scene of what happened although all I can say about what I saw/ experianced is that you have one hell of a kick ma'am." He said as he settled down in the visitors chair that he pulled close to the bed slightly wincing as he settled in the seat.
Kagome looked at him and tried not to blush. "I…. I'm sorry I was trying to get away from…." She trailed off turning paler then the sheets for a moment.
"No need to appoligize ma'am. Its nice to know not some young girls these days actually do know how to handle themselves in certain situations. But for future referance I will remember not to piss you off." He said a twinkle in his blue eyes as a lock of long hair fell in front of his face. Muttering to himself he pushed it behind one ear and his face grew serious. "Now Miss Higurashi. Please tell me what happened and why you were running away? Something had frightened you I could tell and the firemen were unable to tell us much of anything except that you were being chased by someone and ended up there."
She sighed sitting up a bit straigher.
"Well I guess you could say that this started about two weeks ago…. When my family and my boyfriend was murdered in my home while they waited for me to come home for my surprise party." She murmered, her fingers moving restlestly over the sheets that covered her lap.
He frowned as he looked at her silently waiting for her to continue.
"The man that was chasing me…. His name I think is Naraku. He showed up at my school a few days after the murders happened spouting some nonsense and calling me Kikyo."
At the mention of the name the detective sat a little straighter and frowned a bit more. "Kikyo… Kikyo…. I've heard that name someplace…. Maybe on an older case…" he muttered.
"He said that he had…. Killed them so that we could finally be together again…. Especially Inuyasha because according to that man he was stealing my love for him." Kagome said in a small voice.
"Have you ever seen this man before he showed up at you school?" Kouga quietly asked his eyes carefully looking at her face which was still pale.
"Not to my knowledge sir but my family did run a shrine so he could have been a visitor there." She said he eyes closing at the thought of her family which was stolen from her.
He stood up after scribbling something on a card. "This is my number at work and this is my cell. Call me if you can think of anything else. Anytime Miss Higurashi day or night. I'm going to look into a few things and get back with you. The police chief has put an armed guard outside of your door, and you will have round the clock protection after you leave the hospital. If you feel up to it tomorrow I would like to bring in our sketch artist to try and get a discription of Naraku."
Taking the card she smiled at him, fiery determination in her eyes. "That would be wonderful. The sooner that man is caught…. The better."
With a nod and a smile in return he turned to walk out of the room but stopped and looked back at her. "I meant what I said Ma'am. Day or night please don't hesitate to call." He said and the slipped out of the room the only sound left being the heart moniter's steady beat.
Sighing she slid down on the bed pulling the sheets up over her head. "I can't believe that's the man I kicked…." She thought her face going bright red. "I kicked him in the family jewels and he's still willing to let me call him day or night? Guy must take his job seriously."
O0O0O0
Detective Okami sighed as he walked outside in the rain. "Poor girl…." He thought to himself as he started heading for the police station. "wonder where I have heard the name Kikyo before…." He muttered to himself as he started briskly jogging in the direction of the police station, earning some odd looks from passerbys who were all carrying rain gear for the downpour.
Ten soggy minutes later he walked in the door of the station dripping wet.
"Geez man! Isnt the pitiful salary that this place gives enough for a raincoat?" came a teasing voice from a desk.
"Nope! I thought you of all people knew that Miroku." Kouga laughed as he walked over to his partners desk before shaking his wet hair and clothes in Miroku's general direction.
"Aww come on man! I just got dry! What are you a dog?" Miroku asked trying not to laugh.
"Hey Miroku….I need a favor. Something the witness said is bugging me. Was there any cases in the past couple of years involving someone named Kikyo? Or Naraku? I swear I've heard those names somewhere…." Kouga said frowning as he sat down at his desk pulling a towel out from a drawer to dry off his long hair.
"I can check but since they just started putting all the files into the computer system it might take a bit. Especially if its not a recent case. They have only catorgarized going back about ten years so far." Miroku said a frown on his face at the thought of digging through a bunch of old dusty files.
Kouga smiled. "I know how much you manual labor, but this is important. I'll order the pizza if you start looking…."
Miroku nodded. "ehh not like I had anything better to do tonight anyway since I keep getting turned down for a date with the luscious Sango from the art department."
Chuckling to himself Kouga reached for the phone and dialed the local pizzaria around the corner. "good thing for me then that she keeps turning you down…. This looks like an all nighter."
And….. that's where im leaving it.. I really am sorry that I havent updated any of my stories in a really long time but this is the 1st time in a long time that I have had internet access where I could also type up my stuff. Also good news on my part. I'm expecting a little one next year. So again appoligys on my part for the lack of updates and hopefully my fan base hasn't abandoned me (would serve me right if they did tho….)
