This story is dedicated to Chris Mu!!in$ (username: Stephen King, author of "The Case of the Dead Detective") For those of you who don't know, here's the a/n his mother left:

Mothers note: I am sorry to inform everyone but the author of this story recently passed away. I, his mother, suggested we stay in our mobile home during Hurricane Charley, and he was sent to the hospital in critical condition when the mobile home flipped. After arriving there he quickly went into a comatose state and had to be put on life support. Shortly after Charley, about two to three weeks later, another hurricane, Frances, hit and he went into shock shortly after and died. He had written his stories down in a notebook along with his passwords. I will type them how he meant them to be and not change a word.

Unfortunately, Fanfiction . net removed his account before she could finish posting.

We, however, have a saved copy of the story for anybody interested. Or at least as much as had been posted.

A/N: On a happier note... Yeah! We're back! And soo many reviews. Yes, as many of you guessed, this is a Case Closed (Detective Conan) /Inuyasha crossover, making the missing girl in fact (dun, dun, dun!) Kagome. We thought it was the most logical crossover idea of the ones out there.

Anyway,

Disclaimer: We neither own Inuyasha nor Case Closed (Detective Conan). We hope to, but sigh it doesn't look very likely.

So, enough of our babbling, enjoy!

Chapter 2:

"What's her name, anyway?" Richard Moore asked, as he turned towards the three schoolgirls, seeing them finally, it appeared, for the first time. "Forget that! Why don't you three beautiful girls tell me your names instead!"

The three girls blinked in confusion, and the schoolboy stood up, clearly misunderstanding him and bobbed his head in apology.

"How stupid of me to forget to introduce us," he said blushing slightly. "I'm Hojo, and these three girls accompanying me are Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi."

"Ah," Richard nodded, smiling charmingly. "And as you may have guessed, I'm the Great Detective Richard Moore!"

Rachel rolled her eyes, and elbowed her father to get him to stop. "Dad, you'll scare away our clients." She bowed to them apologetically. "Sorry about that. I'm Rachel, and this little boy here is Conan."

"Hi!" Conan beamed cheerfully.

"Ahh!" Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi all said in unison gathering around Conan, all declaring about how adorable he was.

Richard didn't seemed to be to pleased with all the attention Conan was getting, and neither did Conan.

"Uh, can you tell us her name?" Rachel interrupted, and everybody looked up unexpectedly.

Conan took that opportunity to get away from three girls and hide behind Rachel's leg.

"Yes, what is the girl's name anyway?" Richard asked, taking that very moment to suddenly become professional.

"Kagome Higurashi," Eri stated proudly, her friends nodding in agreement.

"What can you tell us about her?" Richard questioned, leading them all back to the couches to sit down again. "You might want to have a seat, this may take a while."

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi all took their seats again, followed by Hojo. Richard, Rachel and Conan, however, took the couch opposite of them, and Richard began his questioning.

"When exactly was the last time you saw her?"

"Well," Eri started. "She came back several weeks ago to take a history exam."

"Yeah, I remember," Yuka continued. "She looked really tired. We all thought it was because she was sick."

"That's right," Ayumi confirmed. "It was about three and a half weeks ago. She rushed home early that day to meet her boyfriend, didn't she?"

Hojo blinked in surprise, slightly confused. "Huh?"

"You," Richard demanded to Hojo. "What's your relationship to Miss Higurashi? Are you her boyfriend?"

Hojo blushed slightly, startled by the question.

"Him?" Yuka laughed. "Unlikely."

"Didn't Kagome say her boyfriend was a two-timer that tried to kill someone for flirting with her?" Ayumi asked her friends.

"That's right," Eri nodded. "He was the possessive type. He broke up with her, but they started going out again."

"Hm," Richard thought this information over. "Is it possible that she's been staying with him? You say that she hasn't been attending school, and she's not sick like her parents claim. Yet they themselves have no idea as to where she is. Is that possible?"

"It could be," Eri murmured, slightly worried now.

"That would explain a lot," Yuka mussed.

"I hope not," Ayumi trembled. "He sounds dangerous, and if she's staying with him..."

Hojo stared blankly as if in a trance. He seemed to snap out of it and looked generally worried for Kagome's sake.

"Do you know where he lives?" Richard asked, taking thorough notes on everything they'd said.

There was a pause as all of them thought back to the conversations that they'd had with Kagome.

"...No," they eventually admitted slightly dejected.

"She never mentioned where he lived," Eri sighed.

"She never even told us his name," Yuka admitted.

"We really don't know that much about him," Ayumi mumbled.

Richard sighed. "I don't know how likely it is that she's still alive if what you said was true. We can start with her family to see if they know anything more, but she's been gone for a long time, and nobody knows where. That and the boyfriend she's with appears to be quite dangerous."

He paused a moment to collect his thought, then continued. "I'll need you to leave contact information with me, and the place of her family's residence. We'll call you if anything comes up, naturally."

"We have to get her back!" Hojo declared standing up, startling everybody.

"We'll do our best sir," Richard declared, standing up as well, while Rachel gathered the information from Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi (who generously added Hojo's contact information as well, seeing as to he was distracted at that moment), writing it down on a clipboard.

Both Richard and Rachel escorted their guests to the door, and said polite goodbyes before retiring back to the couch after everyone had left.

Conan himself looked deep in thought.

"Higurashi," he mused to himself, before turning to Rachel. "Isn't there a shrine near here called that?"

Rachel thought a moment before answering. "I think you're right Conan. We can go there tomorrow to talk to her family,"

"They gave us the address?" Richard asked lazily.

"Yeah," Rachel replied. "I just hope we can find her. I hope nothing bad happened to her..."

Richard shrugged, and picked up a newspaper, ignoring everybody else in the room.

"I'm sure she'll be fine," Conan smiled, reassuring Rachel.

"Me, too."
