Sam: Hey! I'm back again! It seems Jgal was kidnapped by some flamers... I got Sesshomaru out looking for her.
Sesshomaru appears: No luck with finding her.
Sam: Dang. Oh well I'll start typing, you better find her or no Pocky for a week
Sesshomaru rushes from the room.
Sam: I knew that would work. Yo Shippo do the disclaimer for me please!
Shippo: Alright! Jgal and Sam do not own any of the anime in this fanfiction, they are merely using the characters and using CLUE as a plot line.
Chapter 4
MURDER!
Everyone turned to Naraku, eyes both piercing and surprised. "He is the blackmailer?" yelled many of the guests.
"He is." Tenchi replied.
"Why and how did he do it?" asked Mrs. Peacock.
"That I do not know, but maybe he does." Tenchi replied casually.
"I swear I never meant for it to get so far." Naraku pleaded. No one looked to him at this. He growled to himself.
"The police will be arriving in an hour." Tenchi declared.
"What!" Many more of the guest yelled.
"Why do we need the police now?" Mr. Green asked desperately. If they were to find out his secret then he would be off the force for good.
"Well-" Tenchi was interrupted by a call from the dinning room. "Alright coming! I'll return shortly." With that Tenchi strode from the hall, making his way slowly towards the kitchens.
"You!" Mr. Plum said icily.
"I.. I..." Naraku started.
"You're the blackmailer! I should kill you right now"
"I have a better idea!" Naraku said loosing his seemingly innocent pleads. Hie eyes narrowed and grinned wickedly.
"A better idea? Like what for say could be better then hurting you right now?" asked Mr. Green.
"Here I'll show you," Naraku said. He stood up slowly, walking halfway out the door and picked up a black alligator briefcase. "I have something for all of you," Naraku bent down, and opened the case revealing six black boxes wrapped in a dark lavender ribbon.
"What's in there Mr. Naraku? More evidence against us?" asked Mrs. White.
Naraku grinned even more as he passed around the packages to each of the guests.
Tea snatched her gift suspiciously, "We didn't know we were meeting you did you know you were meeting us?"
"Yes."
Mai: "What did YOUR letter say?"
"Merely that you'll all be here to discuses our….financial arrangement. And if I did not appear, Tenchi would inform the police about it all." With that in infamous Naraku stepped to the light switch by the door, "Open them."
Reluctantly each guest opened up their unwelcome present. In side Mai's was a golden candlestick. Withing Inuyasha's was a cold pipe made of solid lead. Joey's a rusted wrench. Kikyo's a white length of rope already shaped into a noose. Miroku's a colt 45 revolver. And Tea's a peal handled dagger.
"What are these for?" asked Ms. Scarlet.
"I think you should kill the butler. These will help you with the job," Mr. Naraku said.
"Why would we kill Tenchi?" asked Mrs. Peacock.
As if on cue the butler arrived at the door. "What's going on in here-" He froze in surprise seeing each of the six guests with a lethal weapon in their hands.
"I don't see why he should be the one killed and not you,' growled Mr. Green.
Naraku placed an arm over Tenchi's shoulders and diplomatically shoved him into the room. "If you denounce me, you will also be exposed and humiliated. I'll see to that in court. But…if one of you kills Tenchi now, no one but the seven of us will ever know."
Tenchi: "Why you-"
Naraku then began circling around to each of the other guests,"He has the key to the front door. Which he said could only be opened over his dead body. I suggest we take him up on his offer." He wuickly retreated back to the light switch. "The only way to keep from finding yourselves from the front pages is for one of you to kill Tenchi. Now."
However befor Naraku turned off the lights all thelights in the house went out in a flash. A bolt of lightning lit the rooms for a millisecond, the thunder resounded throughout the long darkened halls. Yet no one spoke. A soft roar was heard from the dragons outside, but still no one spoke. Thunder and lightning flashed, yet no sound from the guest. A small FUMPH was heard, unnatural like to hear something fall when nothing else was making noises or moving about.
FLASH. The lights turned back on. A near scream knocked everyone from their silence. On the floor in front of them, Mr. Naraku lie dead. Mrs. Peacock looked pale white, Mrs White un phased, Ms. Scarlet looked confused, Mr. Green looked indifferent, both Mr. Plum and Col. Mustard said nothing, but stared at the body before them.
"What the!" yelled Mrs. Peacock, her face becoming paler by the second.
"Is he.. Dead?" Ms. Scarlet questioned looking to the body before her.
Mr. Plum knelled down slowly and placed a finger to Naraku's body. "Yes, he has no pulse. He is certainly dead." the room feel silent once again.
Col. Mustard looked at the other guests, wondering who would ask the question on everyones minds. "Alright that's it! Who could of done this?" he finally blurted out. At this everyone took a minute to glare at the people beside them. The only one's around were each other, and Tenchi.
"Mr. Naraku is.. dead." Mrs. Peacock said faintly.
"Dead?" Tenchi asked walking over to the group of onlookers. Slowly he examined the body. "There is no sign of injury or struggle."
"What? No injury? He had to have been killed, he couldn't of just died like that!" yelled Mrs. White.
'You have a point, but we have no evidence of that." Tenchi said.
"Tenchi! Tenchi! Came a cry from another part of the house.
"Coming!" he replied. The group followed him to the kitchens. On the floor was the cook. She had a knife in her back, a pool of blood surrounding her.
"Oh no oh no oh no," Mrs. Peacock whimpered staring at the dead body.
"What happened in here?" Tenchi wondered aloud.
"I don't know but.. when I returned from the basement, switching the lights back on.. I found her body here," cried a maid.
"It's alright calm down now. Do you have any idea what happened?"
"No I just found her," the maid cried.
"Alright. Now go rest." Tenchi ordered her. The maid nodded and left the room. " I believe we have a murder on our hands. Perhaps two."
