"Conan answer the phone!" Ran called out currently being in the shower, yet she heard nothing aside from the phones rining. "Dad?" Still, no answer. Frustrated and hearing the phone ring sytematically she dressed herself quickly then slowly picked up the phone. "Mouri Agency, may I ask whose calling?"
She tried to sound as sweet as possible given that she was interupted in her shower knowing if it was a case they could use the money. Kagome, on the other end of the line felt so glad to know someone was home, after all she let it ring over ten times. Discussing her story with the girl that Kagome would soon enough be meeting later Ran somehow found it for a joke.
"A...what?" Kagome accidently slipped when spilling the story, she informed Ran he was a 'Hanyou' when he was actually for the moment in human form. "I mean..thats just a nickname!" Kagome recovered from the slip up with ease. "Right..I see.." Ran couldn't be any less confused but wanted to make sure, "So..what your saying is..he's come up missing and you need someone to track him down?"
Kagome was glad it was another woman who answered, she knew if it were any male they'd of probably laughed for hours on end first. "Exactly!" confirmed Kagome from the other end. "Well..it is a long shot, and no ones home..but if you like I cou--" Ran never had her chance to finish the sentence, for when she was about to her father walked in. "Hold on just one second!" Kagome sighed slowly, 'He's probably not going to bother..' she thought.
Just then a males voice replied, and sounding rather cheezy no less. "Damsel in distress I hear?!" Somehow, Richard took her to be older than what Ran probably made it sound, this making Kagome remain silent. "So is this guy.. a boyfriend or some fling...am I getting hot ?" Ran couldn't believe her father sometimes, being so blunt like that.
"Dad!" Snatching the phone from him she glared in his direction, "I'm sorry you'll have to forgive him..I think he might of had too much to drink.." "Drink!?" He scoffed and stepped outside the door for a moment only to toss inside a sleeping Conan. "Do you call -that- drinking?!"
He was staring at the phone as he continued, "The little brat was following me around all day...I tell you, getting a huge lump sum or not from his folks we need to talk him back..I can't even work on a case anymore without him sticking his nose in!" In shock, unsure of how Conan could wind up asleep like that to begin with she lifts him up into her arms. "Shame on you for picking on him!" Spotting the phone to be open, Richard grabbed for it quick, "I don't feel a bit of shame at all" He replied coldly then spoke back into the phone. "So come on, I need details..."
Kagome didn't know where to start, the thought of how this would all turn out if they couldn't find him before sunrise disturbed her greatly. "Well you see..." she slowly began to start yet suddenly at that current moment Conan woke up to find himself in an akward position. When Ran had picked him up to defend him from her father, unknowingly to her she was holding him to her like a teddybear all along. Making a muffled sound Conan poked at her side a few times, this causing Ran to panick and drop him from her arms on his head.
Hearing all the nose in the background, Kagome found talking this way was useless. "Tell me how to get there, we can discuss it in person." Richard found it kind of odd, but money was money after all. Too bad he didn't know this would wind up being a case for free. After much given direction, Kagome had put the phone on the receiver and began to make her way.
"Sir can I help you?" A young man asked. "I'm uh..looking for some new clothing..." blurted the hanyou. "Of course, right this way.." directed the first male. "Heh..this ought to teach her." Inu-yasha snickered and scowled. The man who was directing him of where to go couldn't help but find his sense in style absurd as well. "I see exactly why you came..." He chortled. "Not funny" was all Inu-yasha found himself saying. "I really do admire your long black hair..how long has it taken you to get to that length?" Inu-yasha felt clueless, "Uh..I just...take care of it well?" He didn't know what to say.
"Well I see your into the baggy fashion so.." He lead him further down then pointed to the aisle way infront. "This section of the store is all for you..." Stepping away to let Inu-yasha have at it he smiled, "Just call if you need anything!" Amazed and staring from his left to right, there was more cargo pants and other related like items than the eye could see. "He aint kidding..." Inuyasha admited grabbing for a pair of pants. "They do look like a good style.." It was too bad for Inu-yasha that he didn't understand the saying, 'money makes the world go round' for given what was soon to happen he could only wish he would have.
Seeing no one else in view, Inu-Yasha unbeknowst to what a 'changing room' was began to strip right then and there, until ironically one of Kagome's school friends caught him. Trying to look away quick he grabbed her by the wrist, "You tell Kagome ANYTHING and i'll...i'll....." Whatever the smell was his nose suddenly inhaled was itching him to sneeze. Doing so, he wound up getting the remains of the sneeze all over Kagomes friend, who could only be disgusted. "....."
Running away from the scene the girl never meeting Inu-Yasha to know him by looks atleast he scoffed and then noticed the changing rooms. "How come those people are coming in with one outfit...but out with another?" Stalking over slowly he tried to peek his head underneath to see if it were some kind of magic. Too bad he happend to stick his head underneath the door of the girls changing room. A shrill loud enough to break glass was emitted through the air. Instead of break glass the pitch made Inu-Yasha fall over in pain. "OW OW OW! OKAY I GET IT!!"
Shaking his head to get rid of the sound he slowly stumbled to his feet. "So thats where people change..." Walking to the other side he assumed those were for the men. Finding one vacant, after finding many that wern't, he declothed himself the rest of the way to see a mirror. "The hell?" He didn't mean to sound conceited but seeing himself in whatever it was infront of him made him grin. "Whose that sexy beast! it's you isn't it?! oh yes it is!"
Talk about uncharacteristic, lets just say someone's had too much drama to intake and forgot how to act correctly. After amusing himself and changing he stuffed his haori in a ball and into the comparent of the new clothing he was wearing and decided he liked what he was in just fine. Carrying himself out of the store, the alarm suddenly went off.
"Eh?" he asked but before he had second glance a man much taller than him and oddly enough resembling the looks of miroku had him on the ground, knee to the back and his arms shoved behind his back. "Theif!" acused the taller man. "What?!" retorted Inu-yasha, "Look I aint no thi..whatever the hell it is your calling me, now get off!"
Yet the man didn't budge. "Give us back what you took..or else we call in the authorities!" With a bemused 'heh' Inu-yasha sprang up from the position, obviously over powering the man regardless of stature he shakes his head. "I aint took nothin so I aint stickin around." With that he fled from the scene, being twice as fast as any human people who caught the incident could only stare in shock. "Someone call the police quick!"
Kagome sat now in the office of the Mouri agency. After much discussion she could only look anything less than disapointed. "So..will you help me Detective?" Richard found something to be kind of phony,as he continued to jot down what she informed him about "Not sure..I mean we normally don't do cases like this.."
Ran facefaulted as she snatched the paper from her father to see doodles of what a older Kagome could possibly look like. Wanting to gag Ran merely crumbled up the paper and tossed it aside. "I think it's the least you can do dad...she did travel far enough after all.." Being curious Conan hopped down from the center of the conversation as he'd always do and uncrumpled the peice of paper. "Way to go old man..."
He thought "Nice way to not come off looking like a pervert..boy it's just a good thing she didn't see it..." Kagome just then saw Conan. "Oh! You're awake!" What everyone had thought to be a sleeping Conan had actually woke up earlier on and heard the case the moment Kagome arrived. In panick, Conan tried to toss the paper but Kagome had approached him and took it before he had the chance.
"Uh oh..." He thought then sighed eyeing away "Lets just hope she's not the brigtest crayon in the box or we just lost out on some money.." The artwork was so crummy it could easily be mistaken as a childs. "Oh it's so adorable!" Kagome squealed then lifted Conan to hug him. Conan couldn't believe it, 'glad i was right...but do I -have- to take credit for his work?"
With a sigh he just went on along with the act and laughed nervously. "Thanks I'm glad you like it" that was the best he could do for now but he made sure to get Richard back for it later if possible. Realizing that the case had never been a set 'yes' or 'no' she walked back to the couch holding Conan in her arms.
It felt so weird, to have someone else admire him, considering he was only used to Ran holding him the way she was. "Please Detective you have to help me..if i don't find him soon..well..it..." She looked down and began to cry, the tears falling onto Conan. 'why is she crying when she was just so happy a moment ago..?' he thought then decided to play the cute act to help make her feel better.
"Um, Miss if you like I can come along with you to keep you company?" Kagome looked down, nearly forgetting he was there, "Are you sure?" He smiled happily. "Yeah! And I'm sure Ran'll come and then her dad'll just have to take the case!" Still feeling sore about Conan taking his artwork credit, Richard shot a cold look in his direction. "Why you litt--" Yet Ran answered for him. "Sure i'd love to go! My dad would love to accept the case too!" Richard folded his arms then looked off outside the window, "Yeah yeah..i just better be getting paid heavily for this..."
On the run from the law, Inu-yasha found himself having the same issues of being some 'thief' in many stores every time he stopped at one. Each store was unaware of the last encounter so had no clue til after the fact. "What the hell are they going on about?! I'm just taking clothing! It's what I see Kagome do all the time!" Then he had a flash back, of whenever he did see Kagome by something she'd hand something that looked like paper to a man or woman, have the item bagged then leave the store.
"that's what I need!" he said still speeding along down the street. "Those green peices of paper!" He recalled a time helping Kagome's mother when she went into some tall building. The man gave her the green peices of paper there! That's right! Inu-yasha sure was making Kagome sorry, just not in the way he first intended.
Coming to a hault he found a huge building like the one he remembere before. "I bet this is it!" With his new clothing, and aside from his speed he looked like a normal human being. Which was good for atleast now he blended it. Walking inside the place he gazed toward the clock. A guard stepped over and told him to make his purchase or withdraw quick, due to the bank closing soon. 'Bank?' he asked himself, 'that must be the name of the place they keep the green slips of paper!'
Timidly walking up toward an older woman behing a counter he didn't know what he was asking for. "I want the uh..green slips of paper.." his sounding so shy was actually kind of cute. Good thing for him the woman understood his lingo. "Yeah okay, I need you to fill out a form..and then I need to know how much y'wanna withdraw" The woman seemed tired of dealing with people like him. "Sign..?"
He asked stupidily as she sighed shoving a form in his face. "Sign here..here...here here.." After what seemed like a good four hours of hearing the word 'hear' Inu-Yasha was growing fed up. Enraged he yelled. "JUST GIVE ME ALL THE GREEN SLIPS OF PAPER!!!!!" Gasping the woman automatically hit the 'emergency' button located underneath the panel of the counter. Once again alarm sirens began to go off.
"I didn't even try on any clothing this time!!!" He yelled out looking around frantically for a place to escape. Too bad when the woman pressed the button all the doors and windows went under immediate lock down. "Shit!" He looked up. 'Heh..that ceiling aint got no bars..' In one swift motion Inu-yasha lept up high, and busted through the roof with ease.
It was just too bad he was making more of a ruckus trying to get Kagome back for what he thought she had done than what he realized. Hopping from rooftops now as if they were trees he stopped when a familar scent tickled his senses. "It's..." He continued to sniff the air, as drool began to form. "Ramen!!!"
Squealing nearly like a school girl Inu-yasha leapt at increased speed now until he could find out where the Ramen scent was coming from. Looks like it was just another random incident that wouldn't wind up looking well in favor for poor Inu-yasha..and just how long would it take for the Mouri agency to find him with his new threds anyway?
(A/N: I tried to stick in some comedy, I know it's normally psychologists who take notes but i'm sure if it was a big case they'd do the same. I can't recall Richard's japanese name, (not like many know it) so I stuck with the dubbed. I hope you all enjoyed chapter two!)
