MissTuffcy: Pardon my French, it's been years. English is underlined. This chapter's quote, I have no idea where I got it from.
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…."

"What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the rooftops."
Naraku stood over the prone body of Sesshomaru. The white haired male had been asleep since the questioning of the detectives. That was 2 days ago. Naraku frowned, crossed his arms, and sighed. "Knock, knock," Naraku turned to see his brother standing in the doorway with a briefcase in his hand while other was deep in his pocket. "I knew I'd find you here,"
"What do you want?" Naraku turned his gaze back to Sesshomaru.
"I came to sign the release papers, like you wanted me to," Onigumo walked into the room to stand next to Naraku. They both stood in silence watching the white haired male breathe. "I see the reason behind your infatuation," Onigumo murmured. Naraku turned to glower at his brother.
"Excusé-moi, Monsieur Moui et Moui," Both Moui brothers turned to see Rieu standing in the doorway. Naraku narrowed his eyes at the detective.
"What do you want?" Naraku hissed.
"Now, now, brother," Onigumo warned. "What is it that you need, inspector?"
"As before, we need answers," Rieu said with a frown.
"He's not in any condition-" Rieu cut Naraku off.
"Not from Sesshomaru, from the both of you," Rieu's eyes narrowed. Onigumo nodded.
"I actually expected this questioning to happen sooner than now," Onigumo crossed his arms. "Shall we continue here-"
"Separately," Rieu looked between the two brothers.
"So, down at the station, yes?" Onigumo frowned and looked at Sesshomaru. "I suppose I can tell the driver to pick him up,"
"They won't allow that," Naraku frowned.
"I know, but because of the circumstances presented, I think they'll allow it," Onigumo whispered wistfully.
"What do you mean?" Both Naraku and Rieu asked at the same time.
"In due time," Onigumo chuckled as he left the room. "In due time…"
Rieu frowned after the oldest Moui. He looked back to Naraku who looked just as confused as he felt. "I don't suppose you know what he meant?"
"Even if I knew, I certainly wouldn't tell you," Naraku said with a growl. "Now get out and leave Sesshomaru alone,"
"I need to question you,"
"Question that idiot first," Naraku turned back Sesshomaru. Knowing he wasn't nor could he get any farther without a warrant, Rieu left Naraku alone with Sesshomaru.
"Mr. Taisho, sir, you're back!" Inuyasha looked blankly at his secretary as he walked back in the office. He completely ignored her and walked past her. "A weird message came in for you through the fax three days ago," Inuyasha sighed as he pushed the door open to his office and sat down behind the desk. His secretary handed him a piece of paper and he stared at it confusedly. She wasn't lying when she said strange message.
"C vuu fwp vpxmcmuo fwpx tcqqtu ieecoukq. C ocok'q qackn fwp dwpto awj cv qaiq sxwqaux wr fwpxv? C awzu au cv ckqieq," is what it read. Then at the bottom there were more letters "iseourlacdnthkw".
"What does this even mean?" He grumbled.
"Sounds like a secret message!" His secretary exclaimed. Inuyasha frowned and looked up at her.
"What?"
"Well," She leaned over and grabbed the paper from Inuyasha. She took a pen out of the cup of pens next to the computer and pointed at the letters at the bottom of the paper with it. "You see, when I was in school we'd have a code to pass notes to each other in class so the teacher wouldn't know what it was we were talking about! There was always a key, but each month we changed it so the teachers wouldn't catch on. You see, we would take each letter and substitute it with another letter. This is the key here at the bottom I assume." She was now referring to the set of letters at the bottom of the page. "I – S – E – O – U – R – L – A – C – D – N – T – H – K – W," She wrote the letters out under the message. "Since 'C' starts out at the beginning of the two sentences, I'm guessing every single 'c' is an I. It's always easiest to figure out the vowels in my opinion. If we substitute every 'c' with the letter 'I' instead we get I vuu fwp vpxmimuo fwpx tiqqtu ieeioukq. I oiok'q qaikn fwp dwpto awj iv qaiq sxwqaux wr fwpxv? I awzu au iv ikqieq," She sat up and stared at the paper. "This will be kind of hard since we don't have the entire key….we only have the letters being used…"
"There was already one 'I' in it…What is that i?"
"We can put that one in bold until we figure out the rest,"
"Can you figure it out?" Inuyasha asked with a frown. She grinned at him.
"Of course, sir!"
"We wanted to ask you a couple of questions," Rieu said, sitting back in the chair. They were currently in a small, grey stoned room with a single two-way mirror, metal desk, and three metal chairs. There was officer Rieu, a man Onigumo hadn't met yet, and Onigumo himself.
"And who is this?" Onigumo asked, nodding towards man sitting next to Rieu.
"Detective Kurokawa," The man nodded. "I'm here in lieu of my collogues doing an investigation on the incident in Japan for similar circumstances,"
"Ah, you mean the attempted murder of Inuyasha Taisho?" Onigumo asked. Kurokawa narrowed his eyes.
"How did you know?"
"Similar circumstances," Onigumo shrugged.
"What are you getting at?" Rieu asked with a frown.
"You brought me in here to question where I was during the shooting," Onigumo sat back in his chair with a grin. "I could have been the one to shoot Sesshomaru. I didn't and not for reasons you'd think. My brother loves Sesshomaru. If anything, I'd want to kill Kai instead," Onigumo chuckled as the two detectives looked at each other. The door behind them suddenly slammed open and in walked a short woman with white hair, black eyes, and a blank expression. She was wearing a white suit jacket and white suit pants.
"Who are you?"
"Attorney," Was the simple word spoken.
"Kanna, how on earth did you get here so fast?" Onigumo asked with a chuckle.
"Your brother called," She explained, looking at Onigumo briefly. She turned to look at the other two.
"Back to what you were saying," Kurokawa interrupted. Onigumo looked at him.
"I said, if anything I'd want Kai dead," Onigumo nodded. "But I'd never be so tactless as to kill the man in front of the one who loved him. That will…it has destroyed Sesshomaru," Onigumo shook his head. "Poor man…His entire would has been turned upside down,"
"What are you saying?" Kurokawa asked.
"First this with his brother, his father, his mother, now the death of his lover…tragic strikes yet again," Onigumo shook his head again.
"Where were you during all this?"
"I was in my office as par usual. I was with a client at the time," Onigumo crossed his arms. "If you like, I'll give you a name and number so you can check up on that,"
"That'd be lovely," Rieu said dryly. Onigumo smiled at him.
"I only want to help," Onigumo stretched. "I believe we're done here,"
"No, we still have questions for you," Kurokawa hissed. "Sit down,"
"Hmmm…There is nothing more I can tell you,"
"What do you know about the incident of Inuyasha's?"
"Nothing more than what was in the news," Onigumo said with a shrug.
"You said similar circumstances?"
"Not only was this a murder, it was also an attempted murder," Onigumo rolled his eyes. Kurokawa narrowed his eyes.
"One more question: In the hospital, you said 'all in due time' what did you mean?" Rieu asked. Onigumo stood up and placed a hand on the desk.
"What's done in the dark, comes to the light," Onigumo smirked before leaving the room followed by Kanna.
I just want to blurt everything out but it'd ruin it. I love mysterious, don't you? I still haven't decided on whether this story deserves a sequel or not….
Anyway,
