hey everyone figured it'd be a d*** move to leave the cliffhanger i did so here's the next chapter. ur welcome XD disclaimers

Inuyasha was taken one direction, and Kagome another. She was taken into a room with a mirror, probably with more cops on the other side. She sat down, and refused the mug of coffee that was offered to her.

"So, Kagome, is it?" the cop asked her. She nodded, and he continued. "Where were you and Inuyasha last night?" "At my house." Kagome answered. "And when did he get there?" "I'm pretty sure it was around ten-thirty, maybe eleven at night." The cop nodded. "And you say he left at around 3 a.m., correct?" She nodded in reply. "When was the next time you saw him?"

Kagome had to think for a second. "Around nine-fifteen." "Mmkay." the cop said. "You realize that leaves more than six hours unaccounted for, right?" "We were texting until about five." she added. "That still leaves more than four hours." "Well, when was Hojo killed?" Kagome asked defensively.

"Ma'am, you realize we're not psychic, right?" he asked her. She nodded. "We can't exactly identify when someone was killed." "Bull!" she snapped. "I watch enough cops shows to know you can know how long a blood stain's been somewhere! I'll ask one more time before I call a lawyer, when was he killed?"

The cop looked pissed, but he kept his voice under control. "We think it was around four-thirty in the morning." "So Inuyasha didn't do it!" she shouted, feeling victorious. The cop raised his hand. "Not so fast. You were only text messaging him. You didn't know what he was doing."

"If you think about it, you would know it wasn't Inuyasha." she said. "If he did do it, why would he have waited so long? He can get to Hojo's house from mine in less than three minutes. Why would he have waited an hour and a half?" "You'd be surprised." the cop replied.

"Is there anything else you wanna ask me?" Kagome asked. The cop shook his head, and Kagome said, "Then Inuyasha and I can leave, right?" "You can, but your boyfriend's gonna stay with us for awhile." he answered. "That's illegal!" Kagome shouted. "You only got a phone call from a crazy old woman saying he murdered her son! You've got no proof whatsoever. I'd be willing to bet that if you did a forensic search, you wouldn't find any trace of Inuyasha ever being in Hojo's room."

The cop cleared his throat and looked at the mirror. Kagome realized for the first time the earpiece he was wearing. A moment later, the cop said, "Fine. We'll take you to your friend." Kagome felt a new wave of victory. "But know this: if we find any proof that either you or your friend were involved in this murder, we'll bring you right back here. Got it?"

Kagome nodded her head, wanting to slap the uniformed man. He took her down a long hallway, and he said, "Wait here." She sat in one of the chairs that were scattered around, and a moment later, the cop returned with Inuyasha. She jumped up and ran to him. "Inuyasha!" she yelled as she hugged him. The cop escorted them out of the building and offered them a ride home.

"Hell, no." Inuyasha said. The cop looked a little relieved as he went back inside. The couple started walking in the direction of Kagome's house. "Oh, man, when the second cop came in and whispered something to the one questioning me, they both looked so pissed!" Inuyasha said with a chuckle. "What did you tell them?" "I threatened to get a lawyer." she answered with a smile. "Guess paying attention in American Government pays off, huh?" "You tryin' to get me to pay attention in class? Hell no!"

Kagome suddenly pulled her phone out and called someone. "What're ya doin'?" Inuyasha asked her. "Telling Sango." she replied. "She swears there's no way to beat the cops in this town. Hey, Sango!" she said when her friend picked up. As she told Sango what happened, Inuyasha started feeling a type of gratitude for Kagome. If it weren't for her, I'd be locked up right now.

Kagome and Sango kept talking when suddenly Inuyasha's phone went off. He looked down and muttered a swear. "Hey, dad." he said when he answered. "Walkin' Kagome home, why?" He listened to his father as Kagome hung up her phone. "I'll be there in a bit." She looked at him as his face changed to one of his pissed-off looks. "Look, there's a murderer around here somewhere, and I'm not letting Kagome walk home by herself, so I'll see you in a bit!" he yelled as he hung up.

"You know that was a bad move." Kagome said as she grabbed his hand. "Your dad's gonna be pissed." "After what I've been through today, I think I can handle my old man." he said. "I don't know, Inuyasha. Sometimes, dads can be worse than cops." Inuyasha snorted, and Kagome's house came into view.

He walked her up to the door. Before she could walk in, he kissed her passionately. "Thanks, Kagome." he said after he let her go. "You saved me from being locked up. How can I ever pay you back?" She hugged him and said, "By loving me as much as I love you." He laughed, and said, "You have no idea how much I love you."

They kissed again, exchanged goodbyes, and Kagome walked inside. Before she could even shut the door behind her, her mother was in the room. "Hi, Mom." Kagome said, acting normal. "Kagome, why were you at the police station?" her mother asked in a firm tone. "Saving Inuyasha." Kagome replied. When her mother looked confused, she explained everything. When she was done, she could tell that her mother wasn't angry.

"Well, you know I'll support you, no matter what." her mother told her. "I don't want to think that Inuyasha killed Hojo. He's such a nice boy." Kagome hugged her mother, thanking her. When she let go, her stomach growled. They both laughed as Sota came down the stairs, asking what was for lunch. When he saw Kagome, he just said, "Oh, hey, sis." and walked into the kitchen.

"I didn't see a reason to tell Sota." Kagome's mom whispered to her. She thanked her mother again as they walked into the kitchen to make lunch.

its weird how i dont know s*** about the law yet i can write (or should i say type?) about a character than can. either way, reviews r still gold to me. like i said, this may not even get finished. almost everytime i try to think of a story line its so close to the story to one of the Freddy movies its bad. in case anyone was wondering, this story uses the new Freddy, not the cool one. the newer Freddy just seems better suited for this stoy to me. waitin for ur review!
