Chapter 5

Sango searched through her apartment for the picture of the kidnapper. The apartment seemed so big and empty without Kagome's warm presence. Finally she discovered the photograph lying on the counter in plain site. Sango sighed at her own lack of observance.

There was a buzzing noise. Sango rushed to the intercom to answer. "Who is it?"

"It's detective Inuyasha, just let me up." Sango winced at his rudeness and unlocked the door.

After walking up many flights of stairs Inuyasha knocked on the door.

Sango answered. "Would you like to come in?" He answered by entering silently.

"So where's this picture?" He asked impatiently. Sango handed him the photo.

Inuyasha stared at it so hard you would think he was trying to burn a hole in it. Nothing looked familiar. No identifiable features were displayed. He knew this was how it would be from the moment Sango offered to show him the photo. But he was so full of false hope that he decided to take a look anyway. He wanted to slap Sango for making him feel that false hope. He wanted to slap Kagome for making him want to catch this perpetrater so bad. But he couldn't blame them. If he was a better detective he could have caught this man already. Along with this bank robber who apparently was quite good looking.

Suddenly he noticed the limo in the backround. The license plate was lit up! He could read the license plate number! He had a lead!

Kagome paced around the luxurious dungeon that was her new bedroom. Even if it was her Koga she couldn't love him. "I don't like him. He's a dirty rotten thief. And he's holding me hostage. And no matter how handsome he is or whether Kaede says he has a good heart or not, he's still a dirty rotten thief!" Kagome stopped when she realized that she was talking to herself. Who was she trying to convince? There was no one there but her. "Please don't let me go insane." said Kagome to herself again. She jumped as there was a knock on the door. She collected herself and answered it. When she looked around to see no one there a little voice said…

"Down here pretty lady." She looked down to see a red headed little boy with big green eyes staring up at her. "Hi I'm Shippo. My brother Koga said you were kinda upset and that I should cheer you up."

"Koga has a brother?" asked Kagome. Shippo looked down at his feet.

"Well, not by blood. But you know the big brother big sister thing?" Kagome nodded. "He's my big brother in that. I don't really have a family for real. So whenever I see Koga it's super fun!" said Shippo suddenly feeling better. Kagome smiled. Maybe Koga did have a good heart if he would participate in a children's charity program. But that still didn't mean she liked him. He was still a dirty rotten thief!

"Would you like to come in Shippo?" asked Kagome. Shippo smiled a smile that lit up his whole face.

"You bet!" was his reply.

Koga walked upstairs to fetch his "little brother." The kid would surely bore Kagome to death with his talk about how much fun Koga was. When he reached the top of the elaborate stair case and found himself at Kagome's door, He heard tremendous laughter from inside the room. He slowly turned the knob to enter.

When he poked his head in the room he saw Kagome spinning around in circles while holding Shippo like a baby. Both of them were laughing like a couple of children.

This was a side of Kagome he hadn't seen since they were children. The happy fun side of her and one of the many sides he had fallen in love with. He hated to interrupt this scene but it was time for Shippo's private violin concert.

"Ehem." said Koga loudly. They both stopped spinning and Kagome wobbled around in her dizziness and fell on the bed still laughing and holding the little red head.

"Shippo, would you like to her Koga play the violin?" said Koga gently. Kagome's ears perked up at the word Violin.

"Sure!" answered Shippo as he jumped off Kagome's lap.

"You play violin?" said Kagome skeptically.

"Indeed I do. Would you like to join us?" Kagome still not believing him stood up and walked towards the two of them.

"I'd love to." She replied glaring at Koga.

Naraku sipped his tea in his sitting room, relaxing by the warm glow of the fire place. Two nights ago he had murdered two in their sleep. A man and a woman, possibly husband and wife because he heard screams coming from the next room. Oh he had almost forgotten that he had killed their child as well. So it was a murder of three. But he didn't have to take the blame for it. His arch enemy Koga Wolfe did as always. No one besides the Wolfe brothers knew of Naraku. That's just how clever he was. Well there was Kagura his little helper. But she was trustworthy.

"Naraku." said a female voice. A little upset that his peace was interrupted Naraku stood up to face Kagura.

"Yes Kagura?" He said with a cold expression on his face.

"I believe I know a way to have Koga join us as you have always wanted." She said. Naraku suddenly became interested. "I think he's in love."

"So, you are saying we should steal this girl and threaten her life if he does not join us. I like the way you think Kagura."

"I'm glad you do." She said sweetly. Though she hated Naraku with all her heart. Why wouldn't she? All she ever wanted to do was be free from him but the minute she disobeyed him, he would slaughter her.

Kagura turned around to exit the sitting room. "Just you wait Naraku, just you wait." She said under her breath.

A/N Yay! I finally got a chance to update! I've been sooo busy with homework and friends and all that stuff that I keep falling behind in this story. Well chapter five is here. Keep reviewing please!
