MissTuffcy: Pardon my French, it's been years.
Summary: "You don't understand….I loved her….a lot….And he took that from me….so I've decided to take something he loves away from him to show him how I felt! It's nothing personal against you," A sigh "I had a feeling that not cutting ties with that idiot would cost me dearly…I should have listened to Jaken…."

Note: Quotes by me won't have a "by" dash (–). It'll just be plain. Like the one in this chapter and chapter 2. Quotes by other people will have the "by" dash (–).
Translations [French]:
Qui – Who
S'est-il allez– Is he now/ Now is he* [I doubt this is even grammatically correct, but I wanted Kai to say something snazzy, k? If anyone knows the correct grammatical way (if this isn't it) please tell me]
Si tu me rends service, je te renverrai l'ascenseur – You do me a favor, I'll return the favor (close to the saying: You scratch my back, I'll scratch your back)
Most of the French used will be really basic French and most often than not, someone will translate it right after the French is spoken.

"Don't put your life in someone's hands, they're bound to steal it away," – Three Days Grace (From Get Out Alive)
"Well, you see…" Kai paused and looked up at the ceiling. It truly all stems from their old man."
"Their? Qui? Who is their?" Onigumo asked. Kai looked down at Onigumo before returning his gaze back to the ceiling.
"Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. They're brothers," Kai explained.
"Close….?" Onigumo asked. The hesitation in his voice made Kai look down at him with a frown.
"Not particularly…why?" Onigumo seemed startled at the question. His eyes had widened slightly as he regarded Kai.
"Hn…Their names have different spellings even though its pronounced somewhat similarly. I always thought nothing of it. Inuyasha T-A-I-S-H-O and Sesshomaru T-A-S-H-I-O," Onigumo said with a frown. Kai looked back up at the ceiling with a frown. He shrugged a moment later.
"Never really paid much mind to it," Kai smirked. "But he's not a T-A-S-H-I-O anymore, s'est-il allez*," Kai snickered. "He's K-I-Y-O-M-I-Z-U now," Onigumo smiled (though it looked somewhat forced to Kai).
"Yes, yes, of course,"
"Ah, yeah. That's why I came in here really," Kai sat up straight in the chair, his face now serious. "Do you know Takemaru?"
Japan – Taisho Compound
BANG BANG BANG
Kagome jumped at the sudden banging noise. She looked up at Izayoi who was now looking towards the entranceway to the sitting room they were currently in. She watched as one of the butlers walked past the room to answer the front door, which had been the source of the banging. The two sat in silence before the butler came and stood in the entranceway of the sitting room. "There are detectives wishing to seek audience with the family," the butler said. "An Akagi and Shiraishi,"
"Ah," Izayoi frowned. She nodded a moment later than excused herself from the room to seek out Inuyasha and prepare some tea. Kagome stood up as the two dark haired detectives came into the room.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this visit has brought to you on such short notice," The shorter of the two said, as they both bowed to her. Kagome returned the bow and gestured to the couch as she took her own seat.
"My name is Rukia Akagi," The shorter of the two said. She gestured to her partner, "And this is my partner Akira Shiraishi,"
"Kagome Taisho," Kagome nodded at the two detectives. "I'm Inuyasha's wife,"
"Izayoi Taisho, I'm his mother," They all looked up as Izayoi walked into the room holding a computer. Behind her was a maid holding a tray of tea. "Inuyasha isn't feeling up to coming down the stairs so we set up this webcam," The two detectives looked at each other and shrugged. Izayoi sat down and held the laptop on her lap, turning on the screen as she sat. Inuyasha appeared on the screen laying down on the bed looking miserable and staring blankly at the camera.
"It is just the 3 of you?" Akagi asked with a frown.
"My daughter is at school," Kagome said.
"I thought Inuyasha had a brother," Shiraishi commented.
"You need him as well?" Kagome asked with a frown. "I'm not sure if we could get a hold of him right now,"
"Why?" Akagi asked.
"He and Inuyasha are on rocky terms," Kagome explained. Akagi and Shiraishi exchanged looks briefly.
"He did not do it," They all looked at the laptop. Inuyasha was glaring at the camera.
"We can't erase names right now," Akagi said. "Everyone is a suspect,"
"He didn't do it, I know Sesshomaru," Inuyasha growled. Shiraishi crossed his arms and sat back in the chair.
"Let's start with the question that should have been answered a while ago," Shiraishi started. "Where were you all in the night in question?"
"We were coming from Izzy's violin recital….It's a 2 hour drive from the music hall from here," Kagome said with a frown. "We got the call that Inuyasha was in the hospital,"
"Anyone saw you at this time?" Shiraishi asked.
"Yes, everyone at the recital saw us leaving and in there," Izayoi said with a frown.
"What time did that recital end?"
"It ended around 8:30, but we stopped to talk to some friends so we ended up leaving the music hall around 9:00." Izayoi tapped her bottom lip.
"What time did you hit the road, Inuyasha?"
"9:30," Inuyasha mumbled.
"Inuyasha, on that day, who were you all in contact with?" Akagi suddenly asked. On the screen, Inuyasha frowned.
"I was at the business party, there were a lot of people standing around," Inuyasha grumbled.
"Did you bring anyone along with you?"
"Yes, I brought Sesshomaru with me but…I made him mad so he left early," Inuyasha frowned. Akagi and Shiraishi looked at each other.
"If you two went together, how did he manage to get home? Did he bring his own car?"
"No, we rode together. He caught a ride with-" Inuyasha suddenly stopped talking and his expression darkened. "Naraku….I bet he's the one who did it!"
"Who is Naraku?" Akagi and Izayoi asked.
"Naraku is hell bent on ruining my life because he thinks I stole his girlfriend!" Inuyasha yelled. "I bet he did it! And he's trying to frame Sesshomaru because I made him mad!"
"Did you two have an altercation?"
"Yes, he told me he'd end my existence," Inuyasha furrowed his brow as Akagi and Shiraishi exchanged looks again.
"Was there anyone else at the party that you exchanged words with?"
"Well," Inuyasha frowned again. "There was Koga, Ryuuketsusai, Saichi, Kaguya, Bankotsu, Miroku, Sango, and a few other people I can't remember…."
"Is it at all possible for us to get in contact with these people? Also to get in contact with this Naraku person?" Akagi asked.
"Also Sesshomaru," Shiraishi added.
"I can get a hold of Ryuu, Saichi, Miroku and Sango, but the other people, you'll probably have to wait until the next business party to get a hold of personally," Inuyasha grumbled. "As for Naraku and Sesshomaru: Sesshomaru hasn't answered any of my calls and his house phone is off and Naraku, I don't know where that bastard is at…" Akagi and Shiraishi exchanged looks once more before they stood. Kagome and Izayoi stood as well.
"We have no farther questions at this time, thank you for your time," Akagi said as the two detectives bowed. Izayoi and Kagome bowed.
"Do you know who did it?" Izayoi asked. "I mean do you have any suspicions?"
"We can't say for sure, ma'am. We'll have to speak with all the current suspects," Akagi said with a frown.
"We need all the details before we can come to a solid conclusion," Shiraishi said airily, as he glanced at the screen. Inuyasha glared at him.
"I gave you everything!"
"No…you gave us parts of everything you know," Shiraishi said, folding his arms. "You're protecting your brother, but your protection of your brother just may land him in even more trouble," Shiraishi uncrossed his arms and left the room. Akagi bowed one last time before following her partner out the room.
Kagome frowned as she looked at the screen. "Is he speaking the truth, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha said nothing. "Are you hiding something?" The screen turned off. "Inuyasha…" Izayoi frowned and placed the laptop down on the table.
"I'll see if I can get in contact with Sesshomaru," Izayoi whispered.
"Ah, yeah. That's why I came in here really," Kai sat up straight in the chair, his face now serious. "Do you know Takemaru?"
Onigumo's whole demeanor changed. The warmth of his eyes and smile suddenly dissipated. It was replaced with cold, hard eyes, and a deadly smirk. "I see…and did Goshinki tell you to ask me?" Kai's eyes widened slightly. "I knew there was something familiar about you, I just couldn't quite place it," Onigumo sat back in the chair with a chuckle. Kai turned his head slightly when he heard the door lock.
"I like you Kai," Onigumo said suddenly, standing up. He walked to the far side of the window and drew the curtains up to reveal a sizeable window that stretched across the entire span of the wall - it was the wall. Onigumo stood there staring out the window. "Do you know what the code is?"
"What code?"
"Goshinki is a partner of mines," Onigumo said, switching subjects. He turned around and placed his hands on the desk. "Anyone who asks for Takemaru knows too much. We are to kill them as soon as the sentence is uttered," Kai's eyes narrowed. "But I like you Kai…and I do adore that husband of yours as well," Onigumo's eyes glinted evilly. "Si tu me rends service, je te renverrai l'ascenseur,"
"…" Kai said nothing as he watched Onigumo walk around the desk.
"You do me a couple favors and you'll disappear off of Goshinki's map and your lover will stay out of harm's way…you fail to do so and…" Onigumo chuckled. "You'll be forced to watch as he's defiled, tortured, and killed," Onigumo laughed. "And then you'll be killed," He returned to his place behind his desk. "What do you say? Si tu me rends service, je te renverrai l'ascenseur?Your scratch my back, I'll scratch yours? You do errands for me and your lover is safe from harm,"
Reactions? :D I think I can post a new chapter a day at this rate. Yay! Thank you LordOfTheWest and Dragon77 for your reviews! I'm glad to be back and writing too:P
