Ok! I don't own Inuyasha...
Author Notes: I bet you all think that you know who killed Kikyo! Well... *hangs head in shame* you probably do...Or do you? Probably...
Chapter Two: Enter Sesshomaru, the Aristocratic Assassin.
Kagome screamed before a hand was cupped over her mouth. A few seconds later it was taken off.
"Oh my god! Don't do that Sango! I almost had a heart attack!" Kagome said, though she sounded angry, she had a big grin on her face.
"Almost, eh?" Sango giggled, "then I have work to do!" Sango and Kagome had grown up best friends, and this kind of thing happened sometimes, although much more frequent since Kikyo had been shot. However, this was understandable.
"Hey, did you hear?" Sango asked excitedly, her face very eager.
"No, what?" Kagome asked, just as eager. If the friends had tails, they would be wagging.
Sango pulled a rolled-up model magazine. "Look who is on the cover." Sango said squealing like a schoolgirl.
Kagome's eyes dropped to the cover. Kagome screamed. "Oh my god! It's Sesshomaru-sama the Mega-hunk!"
For about twenty minutes the two girls squealed over the youkai, until finally a man a young man with short, blond hair rounded the corner. "Hey girls, would you mind lowering your voices? I'm trying to do some work over here, and..."
Kagome blushed, but her bright red face paled in comparison to Sango's because she was usually so calm, cool and collected. "Sorry Hojo," the girls said in unison, "it won't happen again."
Hojo smiled brightly. "That's okay girls." Whirling around, he headed back to his office.
"Now, what were we talking about?" Kagome asked.
"The Mega-hunk, Sessho-sama."
"Oh yeah." Kagome got a dreamy look in her eyes.

Sesshomaru awoke from a particularly strange dream. It had to do with a strange boy in a red kimono, wielding a huge fang-like sword. Sesshomaru, wearing a silken kimono, had battled him. It made no sense, but many of his dreams didn't.
Sesshomaru noted the aspirin bottle beside his head and swallowed five of the pills in one gulp, dry. Rubbing his temples, Sesshomaru tried to relax himself. Grabbing a newspaper off the counter, he opened it to a story that made his eyebrows rise up.
Rich Heiress, or Victim to Murder?
Recently a young woman going by the name of Kikyo has been shot. All of her assets would go to her younger sister, Kaede, if she had not recently married a man by the name of Onigumo.
Onigumo has called in the best detectives he could find. Two detectives from the Shikon Agency have been brought to the case. Going by the names of Miroku and Inuyasha-
Sesshomaru had stopped reading. Inuyasha! His younger brother. He now recognized the boy from his nightmare. It was his sibling... and now he was an investigator for the Shikon Agency...
Sesshomaru sat in silence for a few minutes. This was a development that could alter his plans. Recently he had been plotting killing Kikyo himself... but now this. "Hmm. perhaps I could just kill Onigumo and Inuyasha..."
"And their little dog, too?" Sesshomaru glanced over to see Rin and Jaken enter the room. Rin had clearly asked the question. Sesshomaru found it very odd that only just turning 8 and she wasn't afraid of his plans.
"No, Rin-chan, the only little-dog I will be destroying is my half-breed brother." Sesshomaru said not smiling or having a change in his emotionless state.
"Sesshomaru?" Rin asked. A big smile on her face, "May we please get a dog?" She asked as sweetly as possible. And being eight that was a lot of sweetness.
"Mm, we'll see Rin-chan, we'll see." Said Sesshomaru as he got up to make coffee.
"Yay!" squealed Rin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It just doesn't make any sense, why would someone kill Kikyo?" asked Miroku.
"Obviously, whoever did it wanted Kikyo's money, which is why I think it was Onigumo." responded Inuyasha.
"Maybe, but why would he marry her first, why not just kill her?"
"Look, if I knew the answers to your goddamn questions we wouldn't be here! We'd be back in the office being bored!" Inuyasha ranted.
"Ok, ok relax!" Miroku said lifting his hands in front of his chest. "Look, let's just get the clues and get to work."
"Yeah, whatever." Inuyasha lifted his had up to the huge door and, taking the knocker in one hand, hit the door three times. 'This door' he thought 'switched owners in one moment, as did everything Kikyo owned.'
"Hello?" asked Onigumo, "whatever you're selling I'm not buying!" slamming the door in the detectives faces'.
"Oh that is fucking it!" Inuyasha yelled. Picking up a stick from the lawn, Inuyasha pulled his arms behind his head, preparing to strike. That's when the log came. Striking Inuyasha at the side of his head, below the base of his ear.
"Hey! What was that for?!" Inuyasha screamed at Miroku.
"What was what for?" Miroku asked, faking innocence.
"That!" Inuyasha yelled pointing at the log.
"I didn't do anything, you're just paranoid."
"That's a lie you dumb ass!"
"No it's not you whiner!"
"Idjut!"
"Half-breed!"
"Pervert!"
"Wimp!"
"Bitch!"
"Which one's the dog here?"
"You've got the stink!"
"Mutt!"
"Very funny, coming from you!"
"Anything is..."
"You try to be funny but your face beat you to it!"
"Now that was rude!"
"So am I!"
Suddenly, the door flew open smashing Miroku in the face, and leaving him sprawled on the green lawn. "What is going on out here?!" Onigumo yelled.
"We should ask you the same thing! We're here to help and you slam the door in our faces!" Inuyasha yelled.
"What? Wait you... you are Inuyasha and Miroku, are you not?" asked Onigumo, taking a closer look, "Yes, yes it is you two! Oh I'm terribly sorry! Please," Onigumo gestured towards the interior of the mansion, "Come in and warm yourselves."
Picking himself up and rubbing the red spot on his face, formerly known as his nose, Miroku stepped inside followed by Inuyasha with Onigumo taking the rear. Miroku and Onigumo seated themselves in the luxurious armchairs, with Inuyasha preferring to stand.
"So Onigumo, you married Kikyo, two weeks later she dies and you get all of her money, seems a bit coincidental to me..." Began Miroku. Onigumo seemed completely unfazed by the question. However, under Inuyasha's penetrating stare, with his yellow dog eyes, seemed to make him a bit. shifty.
"Well, I have to agree with you there, detective, however, I swear on the fact that I love Kikyo, that I had nothing to do with it." Onigumo said, raising his hand in a 'scouts honor' kind of position.
"Ya, but how do we know that you did love Kikyo?" asked Inuyasha, pointing out the flaw in Onigumo's words.
"Touché, detective. All right, I swear on the fact that I am human that I didn't have anything to do with it."
Miroku smirked, "Sniff him, if you wouldn't mind, Inu," Miroku told his partner.
Inuyasha sampled the air with his nose, trying to pick up the scent of a demon, or any partial-demons nearby. For half of a minute this continued before Inuyasha turned to his partner and told him, "Nothing Miroku. He's clean."
"I'll bet that's extremely useful when trying to find drug-dealers." Noted Onigumo.
"Feh. not that I'm in the police or." Inuyasha carefully took in breath, through his nose, still sniffing but undetectable to Miroku and Onigumo, in case Onigumo was a demon, that he just hid it when Inuyasha sniffed. Now, he picked up the scent of a nearby demon. One, no two, streets away!
"Miroku... there's a demon..."
"So? There are lots of demons around..."
"No. Human blood. Lots of it." Said Inuyasha with a far-off look in his eyes.
Miroku nodded. "Let's go! Oh, sorry to leave you like this Onigumo..."
"Nonsense, just go!" Onigumo urged.
"Right!"
