Disclaimer: Must I keep repeating myself?

Sesshomaru jerked awake. He had fallen asleep while doing homework. He checked the clock, its was 10:03. Ah, well, better late then never he thought, as he placed his hands on either side of Kagome's head. Again he was pulled into darkness. He didn't need to go looking for her this time, she came running at him in a fit of rage.

"WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS! I'm not gonna wake up! End of Discussion!"

"Will you at least reconsider?"

"And why the hell would I do that?"

"Because, when someone dies, there is always at least 1 person who weeps for them."

"Yeah right. No one will cry for me. No one cares enough to even come and visit me."

"I care. I visit."

"You wouldn't cry though. You're a demon, a demon who is an arrogant, emotionless, egotistical JERK! I don't know why you even bother with me. I'm a human, you care only for other demons."

Sesshomaru bowed his head. All these claims had been true of his character, until he met Kagome. She was unlike most other humans. She was smart, and pretty. She could read emotions very well. Sesshomaru decided to leave again, to collect his thoughts, and to regain his composure. Kagome's words had cut him deeply, even more so because he knew they were true. Sesshomaru took his hands away and was once again sitting in the hospital room. He decided to get some sleep, he knew he had a big day the next day. He shut his eyes and fell into a dark, dreamless sleep.

The next day…

Sesshomaru woke up at 10:00 the next morning. He smiled, it was Saturday, and it was time to do a little snooping. He decided to head down to the police station first, to see what they could tell him.

He finally arrived at the police station, and went inside. It was practically deserted. It took him almost 10 minutes just to find someone to help him. When he finally did, the officer seemed impatient.
"Um, Officer?"

"What is it."

"What can you tell me about the Higurashi murder case?"

The officer seemed very hesitant to tell him anything, but he eventually did.

"It was about 11 years ago that it happened. I was one of the officers on duty, so I was one of the first to the scene. The sight was horrible to behold. Two dead bodies, covered in blood. And their 5 year old daughter was hugging them both, crying hysterically. She kept insisting that it was her uncle that had killed them, but there was no evidence against the guy. The murder weapon was covered with fingerprints, but none of them were identifiable. They were only partial prints, and they were all smeared. No one was ever convicted, because the case was closed after a year of investigating."

Sesshomaru thanked the officer and left. He still couldn't find a motive as to why Naraku would slaughter Kagome's parents. He decided to pay Naraku a little visit.

A/N: I hope you are enjoying my story! Sorry this chapter was a little short...I didn't really feel like writing a whole bunch. It should start getting a bit more interesting after he goes and visits Naraku, so hang in there! Don't forget to review! Flames accepted (I could use something to rant about! Ya know, vent my frustration…).
