Heya everyone! I got MORE good responses so I'll type up another chapter. And since you people seem to want Kagome in the story, I guess I'll add her in this chapter.
Thank you, readers! I love reviews and good responses, but if there's anything that is bad, please tell me, cuz I wanna improve my writing style.
Ok, on with the show!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Chapter 3: Free At Last
-500 years later-
"Higurashi, will you come down to the court today and help us with a situation please?" asked a voice from telephone.
"I'm…uh…busy today." She answered. She sat up on her bed.
"Higurashi-san, we really need you. It's important!" pleaded the voice.
*Awwww…damn, I was hoping to get a break today*
"Higurashi? Are you there?"
"Fine, fine, I'll come by today." She fell back down on her bed and then got up again.
"Thank you miss."
-CLICK-
Kagome threw the phone onto her bed. She was just sleeping, and at 6:00 a.m. in the morning, someone had to call. Kagome stood up slowly and wobbled her way to the bathroom. *I wonder what could've been so important…* she thought absentmindedly as she brushed her teeth. She yawned and some tooth paste foam fell out of her mouth. *I guess I should wash my face with some cold water to wake my self up…*
She turned on the water the cold and splashed herself with it. Kagome went back to her room and changed and then she made her way downstairs.
Kagome was only 19 years old, and living on her own. She lived in a small, quiet apartment building. The building was a modern one, and painted white. Kagome's apartment room was spacious, clean, and white. *Heck, everything is white.* she thought. Kagome woke up everyday to see a white ceiling. When she looked down, she saw a white, plush carpet. Sunshine poured into the room. He home was just…innocent and plain. *I wish I had something different, some color in my life*
Kagome ate some cereal and milk for breakfast and hurried out to her car, which was a sporty, pink Honda Accord (AN: My dream car J), and drove off to the court house.
When she got there, she ran up the white steps of the court building. She met with the person who called for her, her fellow detective, Takaro Suzuki.
"Ahhh! Higurashi, you're finally here!"
"Yeah, yeah," she said grumpily.
"Today, some guy is getting out of jail and he wants to hire the best detective in Japan to help him solve a case and find the guy that supposedly got him into jail."
"Uh huh…and you called me because…?"
"Well, I think that you are the best detective in Japan, you've never failed a case."
Kagome yawned. "Is this guy a demon?"
"Yeah, he's been in jail for 500 years, ever since he was 15 in human years."
"Wow, what did he do?" Kagome was interested now.
"Well, he was convicted of killing his half-brother Inuyasha Inutaisho and attempting to kill his girlfriend Kikyou Tanaka."
*Kikyou…that famous miko…*
Her eyes flew wide.
"You mean he's the Lord of the Western Lands?!"
"Yeah, cause his father passed away when he was in jail and so he is."
"Wow…"
"So are you going to take the job?"
"Well…I…ok." She hesitated before answering.
"Good, you can go meet him right now, he's getting his papers and then he's all yours!"
"Whatever…let's go," she said as she was led by Takaro to go meet her new client.
Sesshoumaru was just walking out of the court building to meet the detective that he had hired. Kagome and Sesshoumaru were just about to pass each other if not for Takaro to stop them.
"Oy! Sesshoumaru-sama! Higurashi!"
"Hnn?" they both stopped.
Takara led Kagome to where Sesshoumaru was standing.
"Sesshoumaru, my name is Takaro."
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.
"You know, umm…called me and asked for a detective."
*Oh, yes…* he remembered.
"Go on…" Sesshoumaru said.
"Well, I've got you one. Her name is Kagome Higurashi, and she is a miko detective. She's the best we have and maybe the best in Japan." He explained.
Takaro turned to Kagome. "Kagome, this is Sesshoumaru Inutaisho, he'll be your new client."
Kagome bowed in respect and for the first time, looked into his face.
His eyes held a deep, piercing, gold stare. He had high cheekbones, and though his current condition didn't show it, his face held a superior look, like one of high birth. And indeed he was of high birth, for he was Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western Lands.
Kagome stuttered a bit for she thought that he was very handsome, though a little bit thin and worn out. His hair was very long and was a frizzy mess, but she could tell that it was once the silvery blue, but now kind of grayish. He had 2 reddish-purpleish stripes going across his cheeks and on his eyelids were something that looked like reddish-purpleish eyeliner. Intrigued by the strange, but handsome man, Kagome stuttered out some words at last.
"I…uh…it's…a…pleasure to meet you…uh…Sesshoumaru-sama."
She bowed again.
Sesshoumaru smirked and walked down towards a black limo that was waiting for him. He motioned for Kagome to follow and go with him. Kagome glanced at Takaro uncertainly.
"Go, go." He said.
Kagome nodded and said good-bye to him and quickly ran after Sesshoumaru.
*Damnit, why did I decide to wear high heels today?* she thought as she almost tripped over her feet. Sesshoumaru inwardly laughed, for it was amusing to him to see the girl get frustrated at her own shoes.
Sesshoumaru quickened the pace, just to frustrate her more. Finally, she fell.
-Oomph!-
Sesshoumaru turned around and started to walk towards Kagome. Kagome looked up slowly, afraid of what he would say. Instead, he held out his hand to help her up. She gradually took it, and was pulled up my strong arms.
She muttered a quick thank you and then started to inspect her wounds. *Hmmm…a scratch on the left ankle and a bleeding cut on the knee. Great! Just peachy…what a good way to be a good example for a new client…* she thought angrily.
Sesshoumaru started to walk again, this time slower. He acted like nothing had happened at all. Kagome limped very slowly to the limo.
So slowly that Sesshoumaru got impatient and turned around again, picked up Kagome, bridal style, and carried her the rest of the way to the limo. Kagome uttered a small "Eep" and struggled for a few seconds, then was hushed by Sesshoumaru when he told her "Stop moving, or I'll drop you."
They got to the limo and Sesshoumaru placed Kagome onto the seat. The car started to move and Kagome sat quietly for a few minutes.
Finally, she said something.
"Umm…Sesshoumaru-sama, how did you get a limo, when you just got out of jail?" she asked, hoping not to anger him. The thought of sitting in a back of a limo with a murdering inu youkai made her uncomfortable.
He didn't answer. After a pause and when Kagome was sure that he did hear her question, he spoke.
"I might have just gotten out of jail, but I am still the Lord of the Western Lands."
"Oh."
It was silent once again.
"Where…are we going?" asked Kagome cautiously.
"To my home."
"Why?"
"Because I think that it's the best place to discuss the situation."
"Okay…"
The rest of the tripped was silent.
Kagome looked out the window to see the city and the buildings. They were in the rich part of town.
The limo pulled up at a large circle driveway with grass in the in it and in the middle of the green circle, was a single, blooming, cherry tree. Its flowers were in bloom and it was simply gorgeous.
The limo stopped and the driver opened the door for her and Sesshoumaru.
Kagome's knee was still bleeding, but most of the blood was dry. It still hurt thought.
Kagome limped out of the car and tried to walk towards the house, but Sesshoumaru once again picked her up and walked towards the door.
It was a beautiful house. On the outside was gray-blue bricks. It was at least 4 stories tall and it looked like a fortress, or a castle.
"You have a very beautiful house…or mansion, I guess," she exclaimed.
"Thanks," he grunted.
He rang the doorbell and the door opened immediately.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!!!! You're back!!!!" yelled a short, ugly little man.
*Wait…that's not a man…it's a youkai!* realized Kagome.
"What's that? A filthy little human? What are you going to do with that human? Do you want me to rid you of it?" the thing asked.
"Jaken, shut up, this is the detective that's going to help me clear my name, baka." Said Sesshoumaru emotionlessly as he kicked Jaken out of the way.
-Oyyyy!- he yelled as he flew into the air.
Kagome gasped as he hit a wall.
"He'll survive…" was all the Sesshoumaru said.
YAY! Sesshoumaru is out of jail! And he meets Kagome!
