Chapter 2:

The flashes of the camera hurt Inuyasha's eyes but he stared at the corpse in front of him. Tied to a chair, blind-folded with a sick red grin split across his neck. Inuyasha was sickened by the site but being on the police force for five years hardened his stomach so he didn't go running to throw up from the site of a mangled body.

An officer came walking to him to hand him the guy's wallet. Opening it Inuyasha removed the I.D. Jonathan Witsbury. Handing the wallet back to the officer, he ordered them to run the guy through the system.

Once the police photographer was done Inuyasha walked around the crime scene looking for any clues as to who could have done this. Off the bat he knew it was a professional, so it could have been a hit. Stepping closer to the body he noticed a black and blue on the guys left cheek as if he'd been struck.

Sighing Inuyasha stepped back and decided to leave. He wouldn't get anything from the body now until he's been to the coroner's office and the autopsy performed.

Stepping outside of the warehouse, Inuyasha noticed a crowed of people gathered around the yellow police tape trying to see what had happened. He would have ignored them too if it wasn't for a pair of dark shades that caught his attention. Normally he would have thought nothing of it, because a lot of people in New York wear dark shades but this one stood out, and before he could get a good look at the persons face they disappeared into the crowd.

Feeling an odd sense of someone watching him, Inuyasha shrugged it off and walked to his police car. He wasn't too happy about the report he had to write up but there was no hope for him when it came to those.

Staring at the detective with the white hair, she smiled to herself. She had to slip deeper into the crowd when it seemed that he was probing the crowd after spotting her. Can't have detective Inuyasha Sato know that she's back in town yet, now can we? Still smiling she turned around and left. After all there were still other people that she had to find and greet.

Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was looking at. Jonathan Witsbury had turned out to be an assistant lawyer to hot-shot Naraku Hayashi, the damn bastard that had been obsessed with his wife. Though no evidence ever supported this, Inuyasha always believed that Naraku had something to do with Kikyou's death. But with no evidence and his boss and the D.A. not willing to go on a wild goose chased told him quite clearly: drop it or hand over the badge and gun. Inuyasha didn't want to jeopardize the case or the man power to try and find Kikyous killer with what ever new leads came so he stayed.

Shaking himself out of his thoughts Inuyasha continued to look through his report. The sound of footsteps coming towards his desk had him looking up to see Miroku coming to him with a folder in his hand. Inuyasha had been worried when he first joined the force about what kind of partner they would give him since he had an attitude problem and was very socialble. He'd been lucky and had been given Miroku, a Buddist with a wandering hand. Once he groped the wrong woman and she stabbed his right hand with a pair of scissors. No charges were pressed since he molested her and she stabbed him in retaliation but now he has a scar in the center of his palm to always remind him of what happened once and could happen again.

"I have something very interesting for you" Miroku said putting the folder down on Inuyasha's desk. "You won't believe what our techs found in our boy Jonathan's phone" Inuyasha opened the folder and scanned the list of numbers. One in particular stood out thanks to Mirokus highlighter.

"Well I'll be damned"

"Our little assistant lawyer wasn't as cleaned as everyone thought" Miroku said smuggly.

Inuyasha couldn't believe his eyes. One the day of Kikyous death, Jonathan had made a call to someone known very well in the force. A professional assassin and ex-girlfriend of Miroku, Sango Taiji.

A/N: Phew, done. This has been sitting on my computer for days waiting to be finished and now it has thanks to some motivation from Inuyasha's girl 1415
