Echoe Shayne^.^

Kikyo looked at her younger sister. She was kind of embarrassed now. Behaving like a child she had called her during the middle of the night and now she was afraid to admit why she had called. It had felt like a good idea in the middle of the night but now when her waking mind was in full control she felt like and idiot.

Kaede smiled at the waiter as he set down their order reaching for the ketchup she looked across the table at her sister.

"So are you going to tell me what's up or are you just going to sit there?"

Kikyo watched her little sister pool ketchup on her plate with a frown. She was right of course she was just stalling for time because she was embarrassed. "Well you see there's this guy and."

"No wait just to make sure that I'm hearing you right, there's a guy in this word that you can't handle?"

"No I can handle him it's that well I wanted your advice about something." Leave it to her sister to get right to the point. Though she wouldn't say it that was the problem was. She couldn't handle Inu Yasha. Guys fell at her feet she wasn't supposed to be sitting here worrying if he was going to call.

"So what's the problem then?" reaching down she shoved a fry into her mouth as her sister picked at her salad. 'how does she eat that gerbil food and live?' The thought floated through her mind as she waited for her sister to say something but she said nothing just played with the food on her plate. "Just spit it out. It's me and if you can't tell me then who are you going to tell?"

"Well you see this guy."

"Yes, we've already established this. A guy."

"Well I like him. and for the longest time he never noticed me. Then the other day he suddenly asks me out but the entire time he barely even notices that I'm there."

"He's using you to make his girlfriend jealous." Instantly she knew that it wasn't the smart thing to say. Her sisters expression changed making her feel like an uncaring oaf, but she had given her opinion already and there was no way to take it back.

"What I was going to say was. How do you think I could get him to pay more attention to me?" She felt so foolish why hadn't she thought of that before? He was just using her. No one did that to her and go away with it.

"Look I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean it right sis? After all you know I don't know any guy that wouldn't be happy to go out with you." There that would get her she knew when in trouble all she had to do was feed her sisters ego and everything would be fine.

"Yeah your right." Kikyo replayed but even though she said it she couldn't quite bring her self to fully believe it her sister had planted a seed of doubt and this wasn't going to be cleared up till she talked to Inu Yasha.

Kagome looked down at the table in shock her entire body felt numb and she wished that she could move her hands more but the handcuffs had started to cut into her writs. Staring down that the table she frowned the two men were sitting across from her, watching her like she was some hardened criminal. Both of the men were muscular one of them was an older looking man with good sprinkling of grey in his dark brown hair but his bright blue eyes served to make him still look like a little boy. The other man scared her. He was younger then the other one. He had blonde hair and dead brown eyes that looked almost black in the harsh lighting. They watch her like hunter and she was the prey. Like she was going to launch herself across the table and attack them at any second. It would have been funny, two large men watching a small woman like they were scared to death of her. Would have been was the key word. Would have been funny if it hadn't been her.

Agent Anderson looked from his younger partner to the small woman. She was just sitting there staring at the table like they weren't in the room, but he knew not to be fooled. His years in the service had told him that the quiet ones could be just as dangerous as the raving loonies. Suddenly she turned looked up at them, there were still traces of shock on her face. Like she couldn't believe what she had been told, either that or she couldn't believe that she had been caught. There was something familiar about her though something that he couldn't put his finger on at the moment.

"I want you to read me my rights." She paused for as second waiting for them continue. Her mind was racing as she tried to process the information that she had just been told.

Agent Grey had been about to say that she should have had her rights read to her when she had came in. That they didn't have time to waist but he felt his partners hand on his forearm. Turning to look at the older man he nodded.

"You have the right to remain silent anything you say will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford one then one will appointed to you." Having said this he saw the woman in front of them nod.

"Don't make me go with him." Souta said latching onto Inu Yasha.

Looking at the man he frowned who was he to say that he had came to pick up Souta? Who ever he was he obviously scared Souta and that was a fact that didn't put in high in his book.

Miroku looked from the little boy to the man that was standing there. Who was this clown? Taking a step forward he put himself between the man and Souta.

"Thank you for coming down." The chief said taking his eyes away from the small scene to the man standing there. It was obvious to him that the small child didn't like this man. He frowned children usually had good intuition when it came to character. It put him on guard and he was suddenly leery of the man standing before his desk.

"Oh how foolish of me. I haven't introduced my self." Reaching out his hand toward Miroku the smile on his face widened.

Miroku looked at the hand not wanting to take it but it appeared that the man wasn't going to say his name till he took his hand. Hesitantly he reached out.

"Musou Fuka.* nice to meet you" The man said the annoying smile on his face widening.

Miroku said nothing rather he nodded and the man moved on to stand next to the chair that Inu Yasha sat it.

Looking at the man his eyes narrowed Musou Fuka? He searched his mind to remember if he had heard that name before but his mind drew up blank. Reaching out he took the mans hands hand.

"Nice to You?" So this was the man he knew by his appearance that he must be Inu Yasha. "Inu Yasha" seeing his amber eyes widen he knew that he had guessed right.

Tightening his grip he glared at the man. He was sure that he didn't know him then how the hell did the man know his name?

"I wish that I could say the same."

"Mr. Fuka how nice of you to come down and pick up the boy."

"Anytime you know I love him just like he's my own son."

"I'm not your son." Souta hadn't known his father that long before the accident. He only knew what he looked like from a picture that he caught his mom looking at every now and then but he knew that the man in front of him was nothing compared to his father.

Kneeling down he looked at Souta who was still standing next to Inu Yasha.

"Are you about ready to go? We can have pizza tonight just you and me how would you like that?"

Souta looked at the man. His mothers new boyfriend. Stepping away from Inu Yasha he took a deep breath.

"I wont be leaving with you."

'That little brat' biting his lip he frowned having to restrain himself. Here was not the place to lose his temper quickly he put a smile on his face. But not before Inu Yasha caught the anger in his eyes.

Springing to his feet her placed himself between Souta and the man. He wasn't about to let him go home with someone that could look at him like that.

The chief watched as Inu Yasha burst out of the chair putting the kid behind him what had just happened? Something had to have set him off like that.

"Souta will be staying with me."

"But I am." He was about to argue when the officer interrupted him.

"I believe that the boy wants to stay with Inu Yasha."

"Aside from the boys mother I am his legal guardian." Looking around Inu Yasha he shot Souta a look. "Tell them that you want to go with me."

Souta looked up at him and knew that if he said no he was in for it. Musou could get pretty mean. When he was about to reply he saw Inu Yasha smile out at him before turning his attention back to Musou.

"No I'll be going with Inu Yasha."

"But Souta." He tried to take a step forward when he felt a hand pressed against his chest restraining him.

"You heard him he said that he wanted to go with me and that's final. Now I would appreciate it if you respected the boy's wishes."

With that settled he turned around and lifted the small boy in his arms. "Sound good to you? I'll get everything cleared up and we'll get your sister out of here and you can go home."

The officers face hardened as he listened to the man talk to the little boy. "I don't think that the young woman will be leaving here tonight."

"Care to explain to me why?" Inu Yasha said impatiently

Kikyo frowned as he sister pulled up outside her apartment complex. Taking a deep breath she opened the door.

"Hey!" reaching out she caught her sisters sleeve as she was about to get out of the car. "don't do anything I'm sure everything will work out just give it time ok?"

"Yeah I know your right. Thanks for everything."

"No prob the way I see I'm just paying you back I don't know how many times you've scrapped me up."

Kikyo smiled as she walked into her building. The talk with her sister had been refreshing honestly she didn't know why she had blown everything so out of proportion. Getting in the elevator she pressed the button for her floor before leaning against the wall and closing her eyes. Everything would work out and if it didn't then it was no big deal. He wasn't worth her time but the problem was she thought he was.

Opening the door to her apartment her eyes fell on the phone. No messages she thought not seeing the blinking red light. Frowning she walked past the phone before she could pick it up she would just watch TV. Yeah that was the key. Picking up the remote she turned on the TV.

Her eyes widening in surprise the forgotten remote slipped from her hand dropping noiselessly onto the plush carpet.

Kagome banged her head against the table in frustration. It had been almost two hours and she was getting no where. The two men in front of her had to be the densest people that she had ever met. Sure they were just doing their jobs.

"Look I just want to talk to Inu Yasha." She said one more time not bothering to look up because she knew that they were just going to shake their heads no again.

"We can not allow that. We have been informed that you are to contract your attorney and you're attorney only." Agent Anderson said looking at the frustrated young lady. The last two hours had been rather trying shaking his head he was amazed at how stubborn the woman was. Her soft chocolate eyes where looking at him pleadingly through the bangs that had fallen in her face.

"Please." She focused on the older man seeing as the younger one would have already had her thrown in a cell if he had anything to say.

"who is this Inu Yasha and why do you want to talk to him?'

"Look he's my friend and I need to talk to him so he can contact a lawyer for me."

"I thought you said that he was your body guard." The young one threw at her, his dark lifeless eyes glaring at her. Saying without words that he thought she was lying. "And before that if I remember right he was your publicist."

"He is he's all those things. My bodyguard, my publicist, my friend." She had reached the end of her rope. These men were lucky that she hadn't really flung herself across the table and tried to hurt them. At the moment the prospect looked pretty tempting but she knew that younger wouldn't hesitate to use force and she was still feeling battered from the other day.

This woman had an air of superiority that he was determined that he was going to sweat out of her before the night was through.

"Look I don't care who you think that you are. You can think you're the queen of the silver screen for all I care it doesn't make it true. So don't expect me to believe that someone like you would have a need for all those things."

Agent Anderson sat there watching his partner ague with the woman. He did know her from somewhere. And she had a publicist that meant that she did something important didn't it? Focusing on her face he tried to picture what she would look like with out the large bruise that covered her cheek and eye.

"Kagome?"

Two sets of eyes turned to look at the man because of his outburst. He looked like he had just had a major revolution.

"You're on that show. I know that I recognized you from somewhere my wife watches you." Though he had to meet her like this he couldn't wait to get home and tell his wife, she was always saying that his work was so boring.

"That's great." There was no enthusiasm in her voice as she spoke though she wanted nothing more then to just go to sleep.

"That's all well and good but that's beside the point. Now unless you can give us the name of your lawyer we will have one appointed to you." Agent Grey said moving them away from that subject and back on task.

"Inu Yasha is my Attorney ok and I need to talk to him."

"So he's your attorney now? It's not nice to Miss. Higurashi." The man asked his eyes hardening more.

She wanted to say that man wasn't as stupid as he looked but held her tongue. Now was not the time to be smarting off.

"Your right he's not my attorney but he is the only means that I have to contacting one. So unless you want me to say that you are obstructing justice then I suggest you let me talk to him right now." Her voice held finality when she spoke and the two men knew that she meant business so the little girl could play hard ball.

Inu Yasha's face was pale and drawn he was still looking at the chief he couldn't believe what he had just heard. 'It can be right' he thought. Handing a crying Souta to Sango paused looking at the occupants of the room.

"If you would excuse me I must make a phone call." Not waiting for a reply he left the room finding a pay phone in the hall way he searched his pockets for change. Finding none he picked up the phone and dialed collect.

Saying his name at the appropriate time he waited listening to phone ring over and over again. Just when he though that the machine was going to come on he heard his brothers voice.

"Your calling me collect. Do you know what time it is here?" frowning he wondered why he had even took the call. What had his idiot of a little brother done now? "Look if you need money you can just barrow it from one of your idiot friends I'm not bailing you out this time."

"It's nothing like that I need a lawyer."

"Well you'll have to look for one somewhere else. You get yourself into a mess you can get yourself out and that's final."

"You hang up and I will never speak to you again." He growled his brother was hitting all the wrong nerves. That was not good considering that his patience was already stretched thin.

Sesshomaru paused looking at the sheets. "Are you trying to make me hang up? I didn't need any more incentive you know."

"No, now you look here it's not me it's Kagome."

"Kagome what have you done to her? I always told her not to hang out with you, that were trouble. But does anyone listen to me?" he wondered what could be going on had his brother been out drinking and he finally came to the realization that he was in love with his best friend. Not knowing who to call Inu Yasha had probably stupidly called him instead of telling Kagome.

"It's nothing like that." He was about to continue when his brothers voice chopped him off in mid sentence him.

"Look if you want my advice on how to tell Kagome how you feel about her. Then you just go."

"Shut the hell up it's nothing like that." Glancing around he saw that few people had stopped what they were doing to stare at him. His stupid brother couldn't he just listen for once? Instead of thinking that he knew everything.

Ok so that wasn't it so what else would constitute as a major emergency with his brother? "Are you hurt?"

"No! Listen to me I told you I need a lawyer! Kagome needs a lawyer!"

The serious of his tone told him that it would be in his best interest not cut him off again. "Ok I'm listening now tell me what happened. What does Kagome need a lawyer for?"

"Look you know that Kagome has always had problems with her mother right?"

"Of course I know that. You know I do. Now get to the point. Did Kagome finally snap and beat her up? Happened later then I thought it would really." It was true he had known Kagome as long as Inu Yasha had though he never hung out with his little group of friends he had to admit that he always felt sorry for the girl. After her father was gone her mom had went off the deep end. To tell the truth he was actually kind of proud that Kagome had finally stood up for herself. But there conformation from that he had been correct just silence from the other end of the line.

Moving the phone away from his ear he looked at it to make sure that the little red light was still on. It was meaning that the phone hadn't been disconnected.

"Murder. Kagome's being tried for Murder."
