The Adviser

Kagome blinked as she stepped out into the noonday sun. They had come through a dimly lit tunnel from the house to above ground, so it was a shock to her eyes to see the sun blaring down.

After her eyes had gotten used to the light, she looked at where the house should have been. She had to give Inuyasha credit; he knew what he was doing. All it looked like was an empty lot overgrown with weeds.

Kagome watched in interest as Inuyasha counted his steps as he was walking.

“Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five. Ahah!” Inuyasha said, and pulled out a set of keys. A push of a button, and the ground started to tremor and rise.

“What- what’s going on?” Kagome asked. It wasn’t everyday that she got to witness a man-made earthquake.

Inuyasha looked at her. “You don’t expect me to walk fifteen miles into town, now, do you?”

As he said this, a little black sports car rose up out of the ground.

Kagome raised her eyebrows. “Nice...”

Inuyasha smirked. He opened the passenger side door and motioned inside. “Get in.”

Kagome raised her eyebrows again, but for a different reason.

The hanyou rolled his eyes. “Please.”

Kagome smiled, and slid inside the car.

“Where are we going, anyway?” Kagome asked as Inuyasha got inside.

“Just to see an old friend,” he replied as he revved up the engine. He looked over to Kagome. “You don’t get carsick, do you?”

“No.”

“Good.” Inuyasha peeled away from the ‘field’ as he pushed the button for the ground to go back down.

Sango, Miroku, Kouga, and three of the best search and rescue dogs were looking in the subway where Kagome had disappeared the previous night.

“Houshi! Kouga! I think Jiro’s found something!” Sango yelled.

Miroku and Kouga rushed over to where Sango and Jiro were.

Jiro was sniffing furiously at an object on the ground. Sango bent down and found Kagome’s flashlight, still on.

“Would you slow down, please?” Kagome asked as Inuyasha weaved in and out of cars on the main highway into the city. “Aren’t you supposed to be acting inconspicuous?”

Inuyasha looked over to the surprisingly calm girl next to him. “If I didn’t know you better, I’d say that you didn’t want me to be caught,” Inuyasha said.

“Eyes on the road!” Kagome yelled, as they almost sideswiped an SUV.

Inuyasha laughed as he swerved in and out of traffic.

“It’s not funny...” Kagome grumbled. “And I do want you handcuffed and behind bars. I just don’t want to be dead when it happens.”

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I promise, I’m a very good driver. Trust me.”

Kagome sighed and slumped back in her seat. “Are we almost there?”

Inuyasha nodded.

As they entered the city, Inuyasha took a sharp turn in front of three rows of traffic.

“Would you be a little more careful, please?” Kagome screamed as horns blared.

“Calm down, princess,” Inuyasha said as he sped down the back roads of Tokyo.

Sango and Miroku stood in front of Sesshoumaru, who was looking at the ‘evidence.’ Kouga had gone to take the dogs home to their respective officers.

The demon chief set the bag with the flashlight down on his desk, and began looking at the pictures.

“It looks as though there was no struggle whatsoever. Higurashi wouldn’t have willingly gone with the killer, would she?”

“I don’t know, sir,” Sango said. “I wouldn’t think so, but-”

Suddenly, Kouga burst into the room. “Hey, guys... look at this,” he said, giving an envelope and piece of paper to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru scanned the paper with slitted eyes. “It seems we know who our culprit is,” he said, giving the letter to Sango.

Sango quickly read the note.

Tokyo Police Department:
I have Higurashi. Please don’t do anything brash. I will not
hurt her. I am currently getting evidence to prove I did not
murder that person. I will give Higurashi back safely as soon
as I have that information.
The Demon Gyp

“The Demon Gyp...? Is that what he’s calling himself? What a dorky name...” Miroku said absentmindedly.

Sango whacked him upside the head.

“What was that for?” Miroku protested, rubbing his abused head.

“We’re currently worried about Kagome, not what the culprit is calling himself,” Sango said as she handed the letter to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru scanned the note over quietly. “Yukihara. Take the flashlight, pictures and letter down to forensics. Hamamoto, you go get Shippou from Sassa. She’s offered to take care of him, but I think it would be better if he stayed with me.”

Sango and Miroku nodded and left.

Inuyasha sped into a remote parking lot and slammed on the brakes as he entered the parking space.

“Could you be a little more careful please? You practically scared two little old ladies into their grave!” Kagome said.

“Eh... they were going to die soon anyway...” Inuyasha said nonchalantly.

“That’s an awful thing to say!” Kagome protested.

“Maybe, but it’s true,” Inuyasha said as he got out of the car. He jogged over to Kagome’s side and opened her door.

“Uh... thanks?”

“Don’t think I’m getting too soft. I just don’t want you running away,” Inuyasha said with a toothy grin.

Kagome looked at him flatly.

Inuyasha just kept smirking and led Kagome by the elbow into an alley.

Kagome looked around and shuddered. The alley way was dark, dank, and sour smelling. She eyed the half demon warily, as though he might just chop her up into little tiny pieces and feed her to the alley cats for kicks.

Inuyasha walked up to a rusty door and knocked. An old looking man cracked the door open and peered out.

“Inuyasha! I haven’t seen you for awhile! How’ve ya been? Are you married yet? Have any kids?” The old man opened the door all the way to invite the hanyou inside.

Kagome was amazed at the space. It was very voluptuous, much like Inuyasha’s underground mansion, except instead of rich antiques it had a very contemporary feel. Either this man was crazy for having so much money and living in the bad part of town, or he was some kind of drug dealer trying to hide himself. If it was the latter, he’d done good. Very good.

“Toutousai, I just saw you two weeks ago,” Inuyasha sighed. “I’m still not married, and I don’t have any kids that I know of. Have you been taking your medicine?”

“Course I have! Love the stuff! Hey, who’s this pretty lady? She your wife?” Toutousai said, gesturing to Kagome.

Kagome gagged.

Inuyasha lurched.

“No.” they said in unison.

“Excellent! So, when’s the wedding? Am I invited?” Toutousai cried.

Inuyasha sighed. “It’s next month. And yes, you’re invited. I’ll call you later to tell you what time and where so you won’t forget. Ok?”

“Fantastic!” Toutousai beamed.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha in horror.

“Don’t worry, he’ll forget about the whole thing in less than five minutes,” Inuyasha whispered to Kagome, still smiling at Toutousai.

Kagome blinked.

“So, what’re you here for?” Toutousai asked. “Do you want some tea?”

“Sure,” Inuyasha said. “I’m here for some advice.”

“Of course. Come into the sitting room,” Toutousai said. “Myouga!!! Some tea please!”

The party of three trooped into the sitting room.

After they had gotten settled, a small, squat demon entered the room with a tea tray. “Here you are,” he said as he set the tray on the coffee table. “Master Inuyasha! So nice to see you again.”

Inuyasha nodded in greeting to Myouga. “How’s it goin’?”

“Good, good... my, my. Who is this shapely young lady?”

“This is Kagome,” Inuyasha replied. “She’s a cop.”

Myouga gasped.

Toutousai stared at the half-demon in disbelief. “You brought a copper here?”

Inuyasha rubbed the back of his head and grinned sheepishly. “That’s kinda what I’m here for...”
