Disclaimer- I own neither the Animes mentioned here in, or Law and Order, I am however addicted to both. I do own Sharpfang and Legaran Moongara. If you are wondering about the strange murder weapons, it was an idea that floated into my head, I think it was from a program on "less than lethal" weapons and they said that even a bible could be used as a weapon. So no complaining.

"I hate it when you are right." Legaran said the next day. "Please introduce yourself to the jury." The Vatican lawyer said. "I am Paladin Alexander Anderson from Rome, sent here to wipe out all who oppose the will of God." {I could find out if you like}[I thought I killed you]{this brings back memories}(you guys are giving me a headache)(the DA) "Father Anderson, why were you sent here to the US?" The lawyer asked. "I was sent to investigate the satanic cult that had taken up residence here." "And the members of the cult attacked you?" "Yes, I was defending myself and the Glory of God." "It has been mentioned that you know Sharpfang, any response." "She is a mercenary, a very violent, godless child. She would not obey the oath because she does not believe in God." "Thank you, nothing further for now, Your Honor." The lawyer said, bowing to the judge.

"My name is Legaran, and I have a few questions for you." Legaran said coolly. "Ask away, child." Anderson said. Sharpfang rolled her eyes. {and let me guess, failing miserably}(you two please be quiet) "Being part of a cult is not a crime, is it?" Legaran asked. "Yes, it is a crime before God." "But under the law, hate to break it to you, being part of a cult is not a crime. However, to take the life of another, cult member or police officer is a crime, unless you really were defending yourself. You were defending yourself as you said?" "Yes, I was, myself and the Glory of He who is in Heaven." "That's interesting, because if you were defending yourself, I would think you would run away instead of hitting your opponent with a bible to point of killing them. And knives in the back are not standard wounds resulting from self defense." "Objection, this is not closing." Anderson's attorney said, standing up. "I agree, ask a question or move on." The judge said. "Save it for summation." "Sorry, Your Honor." Legaran said. "Your weapon of choice, these swords of yours." She said, walking across the well and picking up the weapon off the evidence table. "They are hardly as impressive as Sharpfang's katana." "You dare to compare my blessed blades to the weapon of some pagan whore." Alexander snapped. "She is no better than that vampire. I should have killed her when I had the chance." "Had the chance?" Legaran asked. "Your Honor, you already banned this evidence." "His client opened the door." "She baited him." "Hardly, Legaran you do like bending the rules, but you are correct, his client brought it out and the jury has a right to know, but step lightly." The judge said. "So what did you mean, when you had the chance?" "She is a demon, and it is my job to act out the will of God." Anderson said flatly. "That's interesting, because she lives one level below the victims of your little raid in the name of God." "So that was who I ran into, I knew I recognized that roar." Alexander said to himself. "Speak up, Father, you can preach here all you want." Legaran said, stepping back in mock concession. "I should have killed that little demon and her blue haired dog on my way out. I would have too if she had come at me, but that yellow eyed demon stopped her." Anderson said. {I think I like that name} "Good job, doggy, I hope she gave you an extra dog biscuit." "Thank you, Father Anderson." Legaran said condescendingly, "that is all I need from you." She sat down. The lawyer from Rome made a valiant attempt to rehabilitate his client on re-direct but he failed. The image of the tall priest taking his blade to the well-mannered Sharpfang was permanently stuck in the jury's collective mind.

"Sharpfang, may I talk to you?" Legaran said, catching up with Legato and Sharpfang as they left the courtroom. Sharpfang turned. "Legato, wait, let's see what she has to say." Sharpfang said. "I wanted to ask, why did Alexander keep calling you a demon?" Legaran asked. "I will tell you, and then you tell me how you are telepath." Sharpfang said bluntly. "Deal." Legaran answered. "The reason he calls me a demon is because when he attacked me, I turned his wall of paper to ash without touching him." Sharpfang flicked a fireball around on her fingers, Legaran followed it intently, Sharpfang flicked it into the air, caught it and opened her hand to reveal nothing.{show off} "I am a sorceress, to put it bluntly. When we fought, I blasted him into a wall, torched his little wall of paper and turned his swords against him." Legaran nodded. "You are not human, are you?" Legaran asked. "Sorry, I answered your question, now mine. How are you telepathic?" "I asked you whether or not you were human for a reason. This is how I have the abilities of a telepath." Legaran passed her hand over her face. She changed from a human to a creature of Starcatian descent. "That explains that." Legato said. Sharpfang switched from human to her starcat form. "Don't worry, no one can see us." Sharpfang said. "Cloaking spell?" Legaran asked. "Good guess." Sharpfang said. "I am here as a community service assignment of sorts." Legaran said. "Just for the record, Sharpfang, this never happened." "Agreed." Sharpfang said. Legato nodded his acknowledgment. (A/N- sorry for the strange little scene, its part of another plot line that slipped in)

"Interesting day in court." McCoy said. "What do you think will happen tomorrow?" "Hopefully nothing." Legaran yawned. "You want to know the truth, I am hoping the priest slips up again." "I want to see him really slip up and challenge Sharpfang." Legaran said, playing with a small fireball on the ends of her fingertips. "We sell tickets to that and there goes our debts." McCoy did not look up. He was used to her strange habits of using magic to keep herself entertained. "I think the Romans tried that." "So, I did not say we had to start it, but I think if we let things take their course this case may resolve itself." "It that how it is done on your homeworld?" McCoy asked. "Yes." "And you were sent here to study us? I will never understand you." "So, I need to look at my notes for closing, would you object to one more witness?" "Who?" "Sharpfang's friend, Legato." "Why?" "Rebutal, I do not think we can have the credibility of our star witness challenged." "And Legato will help this how?" "He is her closest friend." Legaran said, flipping through her file. "Fine, but he's your witness." McCoy said. "Now, pass me the notes on the closing."
