Murder He Spoke

Dark-Black-Wolf

Oh dear. We haven't updated in so long and I'm very sorry about that. It's the homework and tests from high school that have kept us away from the computer…

Sorry about DDC if anyone got scared of her in the second chapter. She is a very scary person and means everything that she typed. I'm the nice one in this story, she's the evil one. Come to me for comfort if you are scared/frightened/threatened in anyway by DDC. I will understand.

About the reviews, since it is on my account I mostly will be answering the reviews but if someone happens to refer to DDC then she will answer them, simple as that.

Interceptorshero: Heh, I'm glad that you're interested in the idea of a shy Inuyasha.I thought other people would do that idea too though…

RandomInsanePaperPrincess: Thank you!

BlackMikoKikyo: Hee hee, thank you very much! I'm glad that you like it!

Inuyashalover141414: Thank you and thank you again for adding it to your favorites! Much appreciated! (hugs)

DemonicxTears: (replied by DDC) ...I'd say thanks for the review but I hardly call it a review. It isn't even a sentence! Not that I don't like reviews but come on...a lil more effort plz? It aint all dat hard, honestly at least wen I do review I say more than just a few words. Fuck its almost depressin ya kno? neways next time (if I haven't ruined ur want to review) say a lil more y doncha?

Disclaimer: If I kept saying no, then maybe, would you people get it?

Kagome and Sango arrived at the same place they were just yesterday, but instead of going to the same apartment, they went to the one across the street.

When they got to floor 12, a small black haired girl ran past them as they left the elevator followed by another child, this time a boy, a very ugly boy with many pimples on his long face that made him look like a toad.

When they got to Apartment #545 they knocked on the door hoping that Kuero wouldn't be as shy as Inuyasha was yesterday. Shuffling was heard on the other side of the door and possible something breaking, like glass.

The locks were unlocked and the door opened. The man standing in front of them had orange hair with emerald green eyes that were staring at them with confusion. He was dressed in a blue uniform that had an envelope patch on his right side.

"Yes?" he asked.

"Are you Kuero?" Kagome asked.

He frowned, "Who's asking?"

Kagome and Sango flashed out their badges from their jacket pocket, "I'm Kagome and this is my partner Sango. We're on an investigation for the murder of Naraku Jinari and would like to ask your son a few questions"

Kuero's eyes widened, "You think my son did this?" his sentence was in a sharp tone, obviously angered at the idea of a child killing a person.

"No sir," Sango stepped in for Kagome, "We would just like to talk to him about Inuyasha"

Kuero looked at them once more before opening the door wider so that they could come in. They bowed and entered the room.

It was crowded, mostly with envelopes. They were on every shelf, table and couch in the room, even the bathroom had some envelopes scattered across the floor! Sango and Kagome couldn't help but kick some as they walked farther into the room.

"Sit down" he told them, "I'll go get my son"

The two women tried to sit down but couldn't find a place to sit without crushing the envelopes. Sango shoved a few off leaving some room for her to sit, Kagome doing the same.

When Kuero came back he was frowning at a small boy who was walking in front of him. They blinked when they realized that it was the same boy who passed them yesterday. When he saw the two women with his emerald green eyes he looked up to his father, "What ever it is I didn't do it." He sat down on the lazy-boy chair beside the couch that they were sitting on.

He wore white socks with his right sock having a hole in the toe. He wore jean shorts that were tattered at the bottom. His shirt was the only thing that didn't have a rip or tare. He moved his legs back and forth since they couldn't touch the ground.

"This is my son Shippo" Kuero began, "You wanted to ask him about Inuyasha?"

The boy's expression turned from a drowsy one to a surprised/shocked one. "Did something happen to him?" he asked worriedly. Obviously he was very close to Inuyasha. He was sitting up on his seat, hands holding on the arms of the chair to keep him from not falling off.

Sango placed and hand on Shippo's knee trying to make him calm down. "No, nothing bad has happened to him"

His grip on the chair loosened.

"We just want to know a little bit about him" she continued. Shippo's eyebrow rose, "Why couldn't you ask him yourself?" a smirk replaced his worried expression, "or did he shut the door on you?"

Sango was speechless and Kagome coughed ignoring the question. "We're here to ask you questions Shippo, not Inuyasha. Now," Kagome flipped through her small notebook looking for the place where she wrote down her questions yesterday. When she found the question she was looking for she read it out loud to Shippo, "How long have you known Inuyasha?"

Shippo crossed his arms, "Five years maybe longer. I'm not counting"

Sango frowned at how casual his answer was and Kagome wrote down his answer with her pen which was sitting in her chest pocket. "Why do you deliver his food to him? Can't he get it himself?"

"He's afraid to go outside so I thought it would be a nice thing to get his food for him"

"How?" Sango asked.

"He writes down a list of stuff that he needs, gives me the money and I go out and get them." He moved into a comfortable position on the chair, arms still crossed, "If it's important his writing is impossible to read. Chicken scratch is better"

Kagome smiled, "That is very helpful. Do you still have one of the notes?"

He nodded, "I'll go get one for you." He jumped off the chair and jogged down the hallway and into his room. He went to his dresser and shoved off all his toys making them clang when they hit the floor. Quickly scuffing through his mess of papers, he finally found that wasn't ripped or torn.

"Here's one" he said giving it to Kagome and sitting back on his chair. Kagome handed it over to Sango so that she could look at it.

"It's the only one that isn't ripped" he added, "Sorry if it's got some wet drops on it. I think it was raining that day"

Indeed there were some wet marks smudging some of the pencil, but nothing to be worried about. Not that it mattered. Sango could barley read the writing, "What is this?" she asked.

"His grocery list"

Sango squinted her eyes hoping that it would help her read the scribbles. When she couldn't, she nudged Kagome and pointed to the word when she got her attention. Kagome also had to squint, "I think that says milk"

"Milk, eggs, bread, lunchables and pizza" Shippo stated.

When Shippo said the names of the food Kagome and Sango could make it out on the list. "If Inuyasha's writing is so hard to read, then how come you can understand it?"

Shippo snorted, "I've been reading his writing for five years. Though there are some words I don't know the rest is pretty clear"

"One more question" said Kagome, grinning when she heard Shippo sigh happily, "Have you ever seen Inuyasha leave his apartment?"

"Yes, but only so that he can go to work"

Sango frowned, "But you said he hates going outside"

He nodded, "That's right"

"How can he go to work?"

"He's a security guard for the apartment. He only works at night though. There are not a lot of people around when it's dark"

Kagome closed her notepad and stood up, Sango doing the same. "That's all for now. Thank you for giving up your time to speak with us" said Kagome.

"It's not like I had a choice" mumbled Shippo glaring at his father. Kuero stood up and shook both the girl's hands before showing them out, "I'm sorry for my son's rude behavior. He usually not like this"

Kagome smiled, "It's alright. He helped us quite a bit"

"I'm glad." As Kagome and Sango were about to leave he said, "I hope you find the killer"

"Thank you" Kagome bowed, "Take care." Kuero nodded and shut the door behind them.

"I'm going to look at what we have here" said Kagome as Sango pressed the down arrow button on the elevator, "I'll call you if anything comes up"

"You better think of something soon Kagome," The elevator door opened and both girls walked in, "Hojo will not be happy with only a few questions. He'll want more"

Kagome frowned as she looked at her notepad again, "He'll just have to wait then. We've only been on this case for a few days"

"His an impatient guy" Sango grinned, "You out of all people should know that"

"He also owes me two vacations after this case" she rubbed her temples.

The elevator jerked to a stop as they reached the bottom floor. As the two girls went to their cars Sango called to her, "Remember to call me if you found anything out. I'll be at the morgue"

"Lucky you"

Sango grinned, shut the jeep door and drove off.

Beep Beep Beep

The microwave sang its happy tune as the Cup-O-Noodles were finished heating up inside. Kagome pressed the button and the door swung open letting steam out from its cage. She grabbed the noodles and grabbed chopsticks from the counter.

Slurping up the first of the noodles Kagome sat back down on her chair and looked at the questions again. The sun was starting to set and soon Kagome would have to turn on her desk lamp. Everything was understandable expect for Inuyasha working at night. Wouldn't he have noticed the murder?

Quickly she grabbed her cordless phone and dialed Sango's number. After ringing three times it stopped and a female voice answered, "Hello?"

"Hey Sango, it's me"

"Oh, hi Kagome! Have you figured out anything yet?"

"Yep. If Inuyasha worked at night wouldn't he have noticed the murder?"

There was a slight pause over the phone. Sango was thinking. "But he was the only one to notice the murder. Everyone else was sleeping"

"Which means that he could have been the one"

"You think?"

Kagome rubbed her sore eyes, "We can't jump to conclusions after only being with one suspect and having only three questions, but so far it's the only thing we have"

Sango sighed, "When I went to the morgue, Kaede found two bullets in Naraku's body; one in his leg and another in his chest. I think one was to stop him from getting away and the other to kill him"

"Right," Kagome quickly ate some more of her noodles, "Do you think security guards carry guns?"

"I'm not sure about apartment ones but most of them do"

"Thanks Sango. You've helped me a lot"

"No problem. Call me if you need anything else"

Kagome giggled at how generous Sango could be, "Okay. Bye Sango"

"Oh and Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"Next time you're going to the morgue. Looking at dead bodies gives me shivers"

She laughed, "Fine. Bye"

"Bye"
