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…."

"Truth at last cannot be hidden. Dissimulation is of no avail. Dissimulation is to no purpose before so great a judge. Falsehood puts on a mask. Nothing is hidden under the sun." – Leonardo Da Vinci
"What do you say? Si tu me rends service, je te renverrai l'ascenseur? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours? You do errands for me and your lover is safe from harm,"
"What do you want?" Kai growled. Onigumo grinned.
"That's more like it!" He was silent for a moment as he took his seat back behind his desk. He folded his hands together, rested his elbows on the desk, and tapped them against his chin. "I do not know what I want right this moment,"
"What?!" Kai shouted.
"Would you like me to repeat it in français?" Onigumo's eyes narrowed dangerously. "I'll let you know what I want later, in the meantime," Onigumo closed his eyes and smiled warmly. "Enjoy yourself with your husband," Kai frowned. Taking that as a dismissal, he stood up and left the room. As the door closed behind Kai, Onigumo swiveled around in the chair to look out the window. "Yes…enjoy it as if it were the last days you had with him…"

"Nothing is adding up," Akagi groaned as she threw a stack of manila folders on the table top. Her partner looked up at her with a frown. "We've interviewed all the damn suspects and all of them have a reason to off Mr. Taisho!"
"Well….he is a business man," Shiraishi pointed out. "And we didn't interview everyone. Remember we still can't get into contact with Naraku or Sesshomaru," Akagi plopped down in front of Shiraishi with a sigh.
"Wait, did you say Sesshomaru?" Both Akagi and Shiraishi looked up at the man who had walked into the room.
"Yes, you know him?"
"Dr. Sesshomaru Tashio, of course I know him," The man said with a frown. "My wife started going to him after her sister died,"
"Doctor?" Shiraishi asked, looking at Akagi.
"He's a Psychologist," The man said, going towards the corner of the room. He picked up a pen and paper. Scribbling on the piece of paper, he walked over to Akagi and handed it to her. "This is the address to his office,"
"Oh! Thank you so much, Kurokawa! Why weren't you put on this case with us anyway? We need your expertise!"
"Hey! You trying to say I'm not an expert?" Shiraishi complained loudly.
"No, you're loud and brash," She grumbled.
"I'm working a different case…I can't explain the details," He said as he left out the room. But before he left, he uttered: "Just know, our two cases are somewhat linked," That made both Akagi and Shiraishi stare after the man.
"We should check up on that now," Shiraishi said nodding towards the paper. Akagi looked down with a frown. She looked up and nodded at him.
Japan – HYM
"H.Y.M.?" Akagi asked as she looked up at the building. She glanced at Shiraishi who shrugged. Akagi shrugged herself and knocked on the door.
"There's a note," Shiraishi said, walking over to the window. "'Dr. Tashio is out of the office, the doctor is not sure when he will return. If you have any questions or grievances please contact the number below:'" Shiraishi read. "And there's this number with the name Jaken over it…and an ugly green toad drawing thing on it…"
"Let's give it a call then,"
Japan – Taisho Compound
Izayoi made her way to the study on the first floor. As soon as she walked into the room, she closed and locked it behind her. She made her way over to the phone and picked it up, dialing a number. Waiting a bit, after the 4th ring, the phone was answered by a young girl, by the sound of her voice.
"Tohara residence, Tohara Mira speaking!"
"Oh, hello there Mira, darling. How are you?"
"OH! Mrs. Taisho! Hi! I'm fine, what about you? Oh…I heard about Inuyasha, is he okay?"
"Yes…and what do you mean you heard about Inuyasha?"
"It was all over the news! You didn't know? They even say they suspect foul play in the family!"
"What?" Izayoi gasped.
"I don't believe all that junk though. You wanted my mom or dad?"
"Can I talk to your dad, sweetie?"
"'Kay! He's been home a lot more since Sesshy moved,"
"Sesshomaru moved?"
"Yeah! You didn't k- HEY!" There was rattling on the phone as if it were snatched from her.
"Hello? Who is this?" The voice was deep.
"This is Izayoi Taisho," Izayoi stated.
"Oh, hello Izayoi…Did you need anything?"
"Yes, I was wondering if you knew how to get in touch with Sesshomaru. Mira said he moved? Detectives wanted to ask him some questions so we can figure out who did this to Inuyasha,"
"I see…I'm not entitled to give away such information. If you do not know where he lives or his new number, he must have not wanted you to have it for some reason or another," Tohara sighed in the phone. "I truly apologize, Izayoi, but I cannot give you this information,"
"But Tohara, it's not for me! It's for the detectives!"
"Then I will give it directly to the detectives. Send them my way and I'll give them the details,"
"Wouldn't it just be easier for you to-"
"Miss Taisho," Tohara's voice hardened. "It will be done this way or no way. Good day," With that, the line went dead. Izayoi stared at the phone with a deep frown.
Japan – KikkuKikku HQ
"Well that was a load of crap for nothing," Shiraishi sighed as he banged his head on the table. Akagi groaned as she leaned back in the chair.
"And we're back to where we started. Countless of suspects but no leads. We need to get in contact with 2 people that just may crack this case wide open!"
Ring Ring Ring
Akagi looked over at the phone with a groan. "Too far..." She groaned as she got up to answer the phone. "Thank you for calling KikkuKikku Detective Agency, I'm Detective Rukia Akagi, how can I help you?"
"It's Izayoi Taisho. I know you can get in contact with Sesshomaru," At this Akagi's eyes widened and she looked at Shiraishi.
"I'm listening,"
Japan – Kiyomizu Residence
"This is the place," Akagi said, looking up at the house. "It's quite lovely,"
"Yeah," The walked up to the front door and knocked. Akagi rang the doorbell a few times before looking up at Shiraishi.
"I don't think anyone is home?"
"Do you remember the sign on the door at the HYM?" Shiraishi asked as he bent down and pulled up the rug. Akagi frowned as she watched Shiraishi dig into the plant next to the door.
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you think he might have left the country?" Shiraishi now was feeling the top of the door. He grinned in triumph when he found a key. He reached down to unlock the door but Akagi gripped his arm.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Akagi hissed. "This is breaking and entering! We can't go in here without permission!" Shiraishi shook Akagi off his wrist with a smirk.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him," he said as he unlocked the door. He placed the key back on top of the door and walked in. Akagi growled in protest but followed him in anyway.
"Wow this place is gorgeous," Akagi mumbled. She stopped at a particular wall, looking up at the pictures that decorated them. It was of Sesshomaru and another blue haired male.
"So that's Sesshomaru, huh?" Shiraishi asked, coming to stand next to Akagi. "He's a pretty little something," Akagi glared at him. "But who is the guy? A boyfriend?"
"Well, obviously considering in one of the pictures, they're kissing," Akagi rolled her eyes. She frowned as she walked farther in the house. "Now…why the hell are we in here and what are we looking for?"
"Evidence, my good lady," Shiraishi said with a smirk. He froze and turned when he heard keys jingling. "Shit, hide!" He hissed harshly. Akagi's eyes widened but she did as she was commanded.
Jadiyah whistled as he walked up to the house, swinging his keys as he went. He stopped suddenly and narrowed his eyes. The mat on the ground was slightly tilted. He knew he didn't leave it like that. With one hand wrapped around the keys, he reached his other hand in his coat, looked back at the car that was sitting on the street and nodded his head towards the house.
Turning his attention back to the door, Jadiyah pulled his hands out of his jacket and tried the knob. It was locked. Frowning, Jadiyah unlocked the door and walked in.
Conscious of the possible danger he could be in, Jadiyah walked slowly through the house. His first stop was the kitchen. He materialized paper from out of his jacket and sat them down on the counter and narrowed his eyes. He glanced to his right at the pantry closet. He quickly snatched out a .9mm pistol from his jacket and aimed it at the closet. "If you value your life, you'll come out of the closet with your hands up and quickly explain to me how and why you're in here," A moment of silence passed by before the closet opened slowly to revel a short haired woman with brown eyes and pale skin. "Tell me who you are and why I shouldn't blow your head off your shoulders?"
"I'm detective Rukia Akagi," She said. "And I'd advise you to put your gun down,"
"In this situation, sweetheart, I don't think you should be handing out advice," Jadiyah said with a smirk. The cocking of a gun drew Jadiyah's attention away from Akagi to see Shiraishi in the doorway aiming a gun at him. Jadiyah raised an eyebrow. "How cute," the sound of 3 more cocking guns brought Shiraishi's attention away from Jadiyah to the 3 men standing around him.
"Drop it," The man to his right growled. Shiraishi raised his arms up and slowly lowered the gun to the floor. One of the men pointing a gun at him kicked it towards Jadiyah. Jadiyah grinned widely, motioning with his gun for Akagi to walk towards her partner. When the two stood together, Jadiyah picked up the gun and twirled it around his finger, never relaxing the arm that was aiming the gun at Akagi.
"Well, well, well," Jadiyah cooed. "Why are their puppies sniffing around my friend's house?"
"Sesshomaru is your friend?"
"No," Jadiyah raised an eyebrow and looked at the gun he was twirling around. "He's my friend's fuck-toy – I mean husband," Jadiyah grinned evilly. "But don't tell him I said that," He laughed and motioned for the two towards the room. "Now how about you two pretty sniffers go sit in the living room while I make us some tea!" Jadiyah chirped happily. His smile suddenly vanished into a thin line. "Try anything funny and … by the time I'm through with you, your body would no longer be recognizable as a human…or even as something that once lived," His eyes flashed dangerously. He gave a closed-eye smile and turned towards the counter as the three men bullied both Shiraishi and Akagi into the living room.
France – La Villa de Onigumo
Kai made his way back to the room. As he walked in the room, he could tell Sesshomaru was just waking up. 'Has it already been 3 hours?' Sesshomaru had sat up and was yawning, running a hand through his hair. The two stared at each other for a while before Sesshomaru smiled at him. When Kai didn't return the smile, Sesshomaru frowned. He stood up out of the bed and walked over to Kai. "What's wrong, Kai?"
"You know I love you, right?" Kai mumbled. Sesshomaru frowned.
"Yes…and I love you too, but-" Kai pulled Sesshomaru to him by his arm and placed a hand to his cheek.
"I love you…no matter what, never forget that," Kai mumbled as he pressed his lips to Sesshomaru's.
"W-Kai…what happened? What's wrong with you?" Sesshomaru struggled against the tight hold Kai had on him.
"I love you," Kai repeated again as he deepened the kiss. "Always have…always will," he whispered against Sesshomaru's lips.
"Kai-mm," Kai cut him off by wrapping both his arms around Sesshomaru, backing him up towards the bed.
"Will always love you no matter what,"
"Kai!" Sesshomaru groaned as the taller male began peppering kisses along his neck.
"Never forget that, Sessh," Kai whispered as he began to unbutton Sesshomaru's shirt. He pushed the male gently on the bed and leaned over him.
"Kai…" Sesshomaru stared up at him in confusion.
"Qui?" Kai asked with a smirk. "Can't I make love to my husband?"
"You're a clown…" Sesshomaru said, rolling his eyes.
"Yes…but you love this clown," Kai growled seductively as he leaned in to kiss Sesshomaru.
"Can't argue with that," Sesshomaru whispered breathily.
