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…."

"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent" – Victor Hugo
Japan – Kiyomizu Residence
Jadiyah hummed a happy tune as he walked into the sitting room with a tray of tea. "Hope you like mint," He smiled at the two detectives as he sat the tray on the table. Akagi glanced at the two men standing on either side of the couch she and Shiraishi were sitting on then to the man standing behind Jadiyah. "So, who are you two again?"
"Akagi and Shiraishi," Akagi answered. "We're private agents from KikkuKikku branch,"
"I see," Jadiyah said as he took his cup of tea. He wafted the cup under his nose for a moment, breathing in deeply.
"Who are you?" Akagi asked after Jadiyah took a sip of his tea.
"Jadiyah," was the simple answer as the male sat back in the chair to get comfortable.
"Jadiyah…?" Shiraishi pressed.
"Just. Jadiyah," There was an irritated spark in the male's caramel orbs. There was more silence before Akagi spoke up again.
"Would it be okay if we asked you a few questions?" Akagi asked.
"Sure, but ask the wrong thing, you will die," Jadiyah said, sipping his tea. Akagi and Shiraishi glanced at each other.
"How do you know Sesshomaru?" Akagi asked as Shiraishi reached for a cup of tea. Akagi followed suit.
"I told you this earlier," Jadiyah rolled his eyes. "He's married to my friend…though I did meet him before that,"
"How so?" The cocking of a gun made Akagi tense. "I-I mean…er…You're the owner of Jade Industries right? The chain of lounges, bars, and cafes?"
"Yup, that's me," Jadiyah watched as the two took a sip of the tea. "You said you worked at KikkuKikku, right?"
"Yeah," Shiraishi said.
"Interesting," Jadiyah mumbled and said nothing farther. Akagi and Shiraishi looked at each other. "You know, you're dealing with something beyond that incident with Inuyasha," Akagi and Shiraishi froze.
"How did you know we were working on that particular case?"
"Please…it doesn't take a genius to know," Jadiyah rolled his eyes. "Inuyasha was in an accident and now you're here sniffing aroud his brother's place when he's out of town, looking for possible clues to convict him,"
"What?" Shiraishi shouted. "We are-"
"Shut up! Don't interrupt Jadiyah!" The man next to Shiraishi smacked him in the back of the head. Shiraishi glared at him and rubbed his head. He returned his gaze back to Jadiyah as the man had started chuckling.
"I would advise you to get out while you still have your life," Jadiyah smirked. "There are people who will kill you just because you're in some way involved with Sesshomaru," Jadiyah closed his eyes. "And I mean not in the good way,"
"What do you mean?" Akagi frowned as the world suddenly shifted without her permission. She blinked and shook her head.
"I mean: Don't get involved. Drop the case, now." Jadiyah's smirk widened.
"i…" Akagi shook her head again. She glanced at Shiraishi who had slumped over to the ground. "What did you do?"
"Nothing," Jadiyah gave a closed-eye smile. Akagi's eyes drooped closed and she slumped over to the floor. Jadiyah sat the cup down and stood. He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. He nodded to the two on the floor. "Get rid of them,"
"Yes sir,"
"Get rid of the one upstairs too," Jadiyah's mouth set in a grim line. "But don't let that one out alive," With that, Jadiyah dug his phone out of his jacket and stalked out the door.
France – La Villa de Onigumo
Kai closed his eyes and pressed his face into Sesshomaru's neck as he thrust his hips forward and back repeatedly. He felt Sesshomaru's nails bite into his back as he quickened his pace. The piercing sound of his phone ringing made him growl angrily. "Ignore it," He heard Sesshomaru gasp. When the ringing stopped just to pick back up again, Kai sighed. He pulled slightly away from Sesshomaru but the grip the other male had on him made it impossible for him to move any farther.
"Sessh,"
"Don't you stop," was the low threatening growl he got in response.
"I gotta,"
"No!"
"Sessh! It's probably Jadiyah again," Kai said, trying to pry Sesshomaru's arms off him.
"I don't care!"
"Sessh!" The phone stopped ringing again and picked up again. "Sessh, c'mon,"
"Ugh!" Sesshomaru growled as he let go of Kai. He turned on his side as Kai rolled out of the bed.
"Sorry, baby," Kai said with a frown. He got up from the bed and walked over to the mahogany vanity dresser, where his phone was ringing and vibrating on. Kai picked the phone up and sighed. "What the hell do you want? Isn't it like 5 in the morning where you-"
Kai's sudden pause made Sesshomaru glance over at him. "I see…well…I'm kinda in a bind here too," Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed at him. 'Did that idiot really just stop to talk to Jadiyah?' Sesshomaru sighed and stood up from the bed. He walked over to the dresser on the opposite side of the room where Kai was sitting. He pulled out some white pants, and a white, light turtle neck sweater. Putting the article of clothing on, he started for the door (though not before grabbing black slipper shoes). When he got near Kai, the other male grabbed his wrist and looked up at him in confusion.
"Where are you going?"
"Out," Sesshomaru snatched his wrist from Kai and continued out the door, closing it behind him.
As Sesshomaru walked down the steps, stepping into his shoes as he went, he heard the sound of a violin. He stopped at the bottom of the steps with a frown. He followed the sound of the violin. It brought him to a long room that had the lights off, but there was enough light in the room coming from the 3 floor to ceiling window at the far end to see someone standing there.
The person standing there was the one playing the violin. As the violin player continued, Sesshomaru walked closer. On closer inspection, the violinist was slowly turning towards him but not stopping in his play, not even pausing. Sesshomaru got close enough to see that it was Naraku who was playing. He tilted his head slightly as Naraku closed his eyes and broke into a flourish of moment with the bow. After the flourish, his hand movement slowed down to more slow and drawn out notes, then turned into short puffs.
Sesshomaru glanced at the man's fingers as they glided across the neck of the violin, coming to a shaking halt for a moment as the sound vibrated. The raw emotion from the song could be heard clearly. It held a tint of anger, but the sadness was clear. Sesshomaru's eyes widened in slight awe as the bow and Naraku's fingers pace quickened in a crescendo.
When he strung his bow upwards and pulled it away into rest position, Sesshomaru knew the song was over. Sesshomaru and Naraku stood there in silence staring at each other. "That was beautiful," Sesshomaru finally managed to mumble. "What song was that?"
"Vitali Chaconne,"
"Chaconne….I don't think I've ever heard this piece played…so…I can't even think of a word to describe it,"
"Was it really…?" Naraku asked silently as he stared out the window. Sesshomaru watched him silently.
"Yes," Sesshomaru said after a while. Naraku smiled small but said nothing.
"Would you like to hear it again?" Naraku glanced at Sesshomaru from the corner of his eye.
"I would love to," Sesshomaru said.
"No more stalling. You know what to do," Kai ran a hand through his hair as he glared at his reflection.
"Not right now…I just can't,"
"You know what's going to happen if you don't tell him, right?"
"And I also know whats gonna happen if I do tell him," Kai growled.
"That's beside the point. He deserves to know and you're going to tell him or he's going to learn in the worse possible way!"
"I know…" They both were quiet.
"2 weeks," Jadiyah said.
"2 weeks?"
"After 2 weeks, everything will change…I'll call you later," and with that said, Jadiyah hung up. Kai sighed and placed the phone back on the dresser. He stared at his reflection.
"Fuck…"
This week is finals. :o
Sorry for the missing days of updates!
Also sorry for the poor description of the "flourishes" and stuff. It was kinda difficult for me to describe the hand motions of a violin player. Crescendo, for those who don't know, is the music's gradual increase in loudness or intensity. I would recommend you all to listen to the song for this part, it is truly divine. I would personally recommend Sarah Chang's performance of the song which is what I based Naraku's movements on. Vitali Chaconne -
