Summary:
Naraku finally starts his Interview with Inuyasha's friends. Inuyasha makes new friends (cell mates) sorta and gets rewarded with desert.
Chapter 12: Desert and an Interview
"Thank you." Inuyasha said shyly before he was taken out of the room. Naraku couldn't figure out why a sudden urge to be nice to the boy came over him. Maybe it was just the boy's meekness either way it would be bad if the press or the other lawyer got Inuyasha to speak. Naraku dusted himself off and turned off the tape recorder. Then he walked out of the room in fluid motion. Tomorrow he would be meeting with the boy's friends for more information.
The interview with his latest client went smoothly. He would not only need to get more information out of the boy, but he would need the information the boy's friends have. That is what brought him to this residence today. The boy's friends have gathered at a dojo. Naraku closed his door and pushed a button that turned on his alarm system.
He carried a brief case in his hands as he smoothly glided up the stairs. From the records he dug up himself he found out that these people were former employees of the late Sesshomaru Tashio. They could be useful if they went on stand to testify foe their friend. In police reports they too were there when the murder took place. They witnessed it for the matter of fact.
He softly rang the door bell. He could hear movement outside of the door. He smirked. They were probably trying to make the house presentable for him. Various sounds of locks being undone was heard from the other side of the door. The door opened to revel the girl known as Sango.
"I'm so glad you came! Come in come in!" Sango bowed her head and allowed Naraku to pass through. "My name is Sango Katana, you may call me Sango."
"Very well, Ms. Sango, let us get this interview over with."
"Follow me to the back room." She bowed her head once more before she led him down a long hallway toward the dojo part of the house.

It was lunch time at the jail. The guards led the inhabitants of the jail cells to the heavily guarded cafeteria. Inuyasha followed Hojo silently. The food smelt really good to him and his stomach was growling. Hojo heard the little growling noises from him. He smirked. This would be a good time to stuff food down the boy's throat.
"You hungry, kid." Hojo asked.
"Yea, I hadn't eaten anything for awhile." He spoke so softly he was almost mumbling.
"I'll carry your tray for you. Just pick out what you want to eat."
"M'kay." Inuyasha nodded as he watched Hojo pick up two trays. They went through the line as quickly as possible. Inuyasha didn't really know what to ask for so Hojo pick out everything for him. Inuyasha followed him to the table and sat down next him. He began to eat silently.
"Ah, Hojo, is this Inuyasha?" Two old looking men sat down across from them. Inuyasha didn't even look at them. He was too lost in his food to think about anything else.
"Yes it is. Right now he's to engross in his food so leave him alone. He really needs to eat. He's far too skinny."
"I can tell. He needs fat on those bones of his and I'm going to contribute by giving him my desert!" Myoga shoved the desert onto Inuyasha's tray. Not wanting to be out done Totosai and Hojo placed their deserts onto his tray. Inuyasha looked up questionably at them.
"Inuyasha, you remember Myoga and Totosai don't you?" Inuyasha shook his head. "Well anywhoo as a gift you can't return you are now the proud owner of our deserts and as an honor we wish for you to eat every last bite of it for us, kapeesh?" Hojo smiled.
"Okay, if it is alright?" Inuyasha looked down.
"Of course it is. Now eat every last bite!" Hojo almost laughed. Inuyasha smiled and began to eat.

The room they now sat in was obviously the main room in the dojo. Boxes of what he presumed to be evidence lay scattered through out the room. They all sat on cushions on the floor and on a small table in the middle of the circle they formed were a table where hand sandwiches and tea was served. He opened his brief case and took out a tape recorder.
"Now let us get down to business shall we." Naraku pushed play on the tape recorder. "What are your names from left to right?"
"My name is Sango Katana."
"My name is Miroku Lecher."
"I am Kouga Wolf."
"Ayame Starfire"
"Rin Mute Flower."
"Kagome Higurashi."
"From the order you told me your names tell me how you are involved with my client and what part you had involving his brother's murder." Naraku looked out over their faces. They seemed eager to spill their guts out. A good thing to seeing he needed all the information he could get in order to win this case. "Ms. Katana, please begin."
"I meet Inuyasha through Kagome. We went over to the mansion for a slumber party when Sesshomaru went out on a business trip. We played games and told stories as you normally do at a slumber party. Of course Miroku also went with us. It was the first night when the moon was full. At first I thought that the story Inuyasha told us about the mansion being a cruse I thought it was a joke, but when the old grandfather clock struck midnight all of these ghosts came out and began replaying their deaths."
"How do you now these 'ghosts' as you put it are not a figment of your imagination?" Naraku scribbled something down.
"I don't, but it seemed way too real to be fake."
"Now what is the part you played in Sesshomaru Tashio's murder?"
"It was after Sesshomaru had Kagome's and our memory erased. Kagome regained her memory and we sometime later went to the mansion to free Inuyasha and take him away from his brother. We got into a fight with him for Inuyasha and sustained heavy injuries. He was about to kill Kagome when he snapped and killed Sesshomaru."
"I see Mr. Lecher, let us here your side of the story."
"As Ms. Katana said we met Inuyasha through Kagome from which we had a coed slumber party. If the ghost we've seen that night weren't real then we all must have had the same hallucinations for we did see all of the people that Sesshomaru had killed replaying their deaths over and over again."
"What was your part in the murder?"
"We all went together after we had regained our memories to rescue Inuyasha from his evil brother. We brought weapons fully intending to fight Sesshomaru if need be. I was dressed as a monk. I did not witness Sesshomaru being killed due to the fact I was unconscious myself. Sesshomaru stabbed me right here in the chest." Miroku Lifted up his shirt to show bandages then he gently removed them to reveal stitches were the sword had pierced him.
"You must be in pain Mr. Lecher." Naraku dug his hand through his brief case for a camera.
"Not really I take enough pain medication. I was lucky Sesshomaru's sword missed my vitals."
"I'm going to take a picture of your wound. Hold still." Naraku quickly took the picture. Rin went over to Miroku with her First aid kit and rebinding his wound.
"Mr. Wolf, tell me of your connection with my client and his older brother."
"Sesshomaru Tashio was my employer and I had to sign a contract with him…"
A/n: Sorry for the short chapter, but I wanted to leave it at a cliff hanger. Next Chapter you'll learn of how Kouga and Ayame came to work for Sesshomaru.
Thank you for the reviews!
TTFN!
