Dangerous Case

 

Chapter 1

 

Unfortunate Circumstances

 

 

Summary- A brutal murderer is on the loose and after the deaths of many women and months of getting away he finally makes a mistake and leaves one of his victims alive. What happens when the victim and the detective assigned to the case meet each other? Inu/Kag etc.

 

The raindrops were finally quietly fading to the background and just as sleep began to overcome the phone rang... “What the fuck do you want? You better have a good fucking reason to wake me up or I'll rip your fucking head off!”

 

“It's him again.”

 

“I told you if it happened then pass it off to the next one and I'd look at it in the morning.”

 

“This one is different.”

 

“How?”

 

“She survived.”

 

“I'll be right there.” He slammed the phone onto the table beside his bed and got up. Takahashi, Inuyasha was Tokyo's best detective and fuck was he tired. Tokyo's crime rate had gone even higher with the attraction of Youkai. They had been coming more frequently to live around humans and although there was nothing against the law about it the humans were always uneasy and from there killing, stealing, and much more happened. It wasn't even just the youkai, humans were killing just as much as they were.

 

The particular case that had gotten Inuyasha out of bed was one that he had been working on for the last year and a half. All of the MO's had been the same. At every crime scene a woman was brutally murdered. They were all between the ages of seventeen to twenty four, they all had dark black hair, around the height of 5'6, skinny and all of them had been killed in dark alleys with their stomachs clawed open.

 

In the last year and a half none of them had survived so how did this one manage to get away? After getting dressed he jumped out of the window not wasting the time to use the door and stairs. He got into his car and sped through the streets. Although the streets were slick with rain he managed to get to his office quickly and safely. As soon as he slammed open the doors everyone went quiet and then continued on with their business.

 

“Where is she?” Inuyasha asked the man sitting at the desk closest to his office.

 

“Sh-She's in the hospital. They won't let us talk to her now. She's in critical condition.” The man managed to finally get out.

 

“Where is all the crime scene photographs? The evidence? You called me down here with nothing to show me?” Inuyasha growled.

 

“I'm sorry.” The man squeaked. “I'll get it to you right away!”

 

“You fucking better or someone else will be sitting in your desk tomorrow.” Inuyasha threatened. He opened his office door and slammed it shut behind him.

 

The tall hanyou could really intimidate some of the guys in the office. Half demon or not he was as powerful as most full blooded ones. He stood tall with long silver hair, hypnotizing amber eyes, a nice tan complexion, built body, and little inu ears on top of his head. No matter how you looked at it, most people were scared of the ill tempered detective. He'd be in more trouble than you can imagine with his attitude, but because he showed results no one complained or punished him for it. He was a hardass and had the breaking record for caught criminals.

 

A knock on the door stopped him from picking up his phone. “What?” He called out gruffly.

 

The man from before opened the door and poked his head in, “The woman has awaken sir.”

 

“And?” Inuyasha snapped.

 

“They said they'd allow you to talk to her if you'd like. She's coherent enough to answer questions.” He took a deep breath.

 

“Well then Hayabashi it looks like you'll still have a job to come to tomorrow, which hospital?”

 

“Tokyo medical center, Asuga is going to meet you there.” He breathed out in relief.

 

Inuyasha brushed past the terrified man and went back to his car. At least he was going to do something after not sleeping...again... How many sleepless nights has he had no thanks to this cold hearted bastard? How many more sleepless nights will there be?

 

 

Inuyasha arrived at the hospital and went to the front desk where his friend was waiting. Asuga, Miroku, one of the few guys who worked as hard as he did. He was a little bit shorter than Inuyasha with black hair tied into a small ponytail at the base of his neck. He was slim with purple eyes and in each ear there were two sets of earrings. He was wearing black slacks with a long sleeve purple button up shirt and a black jacket.

 

“What took you so long?” Miroku asked.

 

“Shut up.” Inuyasha glared at him. They'd been friends ever since Miroku had joined, one of the few guys that didn't fuck up and annoy the hell out of him. “Where the fuck is she?”

 

“They had to give her a secluded room so she can avoid the newspaper reporters. Top floor room 609.” Miroku answered as they headed towards the elevator. “Her name is Higurashi, Kagome and her wounds were somewhat minor from what I hear.”

 

“I'll guess we'll find out what happened when we get up there.” Inuyasha said. They arrived in front of the room number and a Doctor was standing in front of her door. “Is this Higurashi's room?”

 

“Hai, I'm Dr. Atsugi Kaede. Her wounds are minor but it seems she's had quite a night.” She explained. “I can only allow you to speak with her for a few minutes since your detectives, but nothing more than that.”

 

“We understand.” Miroku answered.

 

Kaede knocked on the door before entering the room. “Kagome there are some detectives here to speak with you about what happened.” She said.

 

Inuyasha entered the room to see a girl lying on the bed with a hospital gown on. She was thin and looked ragged, which was understandable considering the circumstances. She had dark raven colored hair around her face and when she opened her eyes to look at him he almost stopped. She had piercing dark brown eyes and as ragged as she was she was beautiful.

 

After the two walked in Kaede shut the door behind them so they could talk alone. “Higurashi-san, I realize you've been through a lot this evening but we do need to ask some questions while it's fresh in your memory. Anything you can tell us about tonight will help us a great ordeal.” Miroku said.

 

She turned her head and looked out the window. “I was just walking down the street. I usually don't walk around this late but I had an old friend visit and we went out for drinks, but because I'd been drinking I walked home.” She spoke. Her voice was shaky from going over the events of the night. “When I got to 21st street I heard a noise in the alleyway and began to walk faster but before I could get anywhere I was grabbed from behind and thrown into the alley. Before I knew it I had claws in my stomach and the last thing I remember is waking up here.”

 

“Did you get a good look at the attacker?” Miroku asked.

 

“From what I could see in the darkness he had a long pale face. Dark purple eyes and long curly black hair, that's all I can recall.”

 

“Do you know why he would want to attack you?” Miroku asked.

 

She didn't answer but got up which sent pain spikes up her spine and through her stomach. “Don't get up!” Inuyasha ran over to the bed but stopped when she opened the back of her gown and moved her hair to the side. Her gown was still covering her breasts and on her back was a birthmark.

 

The birthmark seemed more like a tattoo. Right below her neck in-between her shoulder blades was an orb and around the orb was a set of wings. The left wing was bent upwards and the right wing bent downwards. After a moment Kagome put the gown back on and collapsed on the bed.

 

Inuyasha rushed over to her and helped her to lie correctly. “Did he get it?” He asked.

 

Kagome simply shook her head no. She was breathing heavily and her forehead was covered with sweat. He put a hand to her forehead. “She has a fever.” He said. “Miroku get the doctor in here.”

 

Miroku quickly got up and shouted for the doctor. “What is it?” He asked Inuyasha.

 

“The Shikon no Tama.”

 

“That's impossible it's just a myth.” Miroku was shocked to hear those words.

 

The doctor rushed into the room and checked her status. “She has a fever. Although her wounds aren't life threatening she wasted a lot of energy when she used her miko powers.” Kaede explained.

 

“Miko?” Miroku asked.

 

“It's a defense system when put in a life threatening situation. If they are hurt physically or mentally they'll repel the offender with miko energy and use what's left over to close the wound or stop bleeding. But since the attacker meant to kill her, she was close to dying when we found her. The only reason she's still alive is that I'm also a miko and knew how to help her.”

 

“Will she be alright?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“She'll be fine as long as she doesn't waste anymore energy. I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you to leave.” Kaede showed them to the door. “She needs at least a week of rest.”

 

“That's too long. This woman survived this attacker she needs to be put under protection.” Inuyasha explained.

 

“Well when something can be arranged to where she can be safely moved and protected I'll release her, but until then she'll stay under my care.” Kaede explained and shut the door behind her.

 

“Well now that's interesting.” Miroku said.

 

“We don't have enough of a description to go off of.” Inuyasha clenched his fists.

 

“How could the jewel be real?” Miroku asked as they headed towards the elevator. “It's just a myth.”

 

“To you humans it is. A long time ago it was real but a priestess sacrificed herself to take the jewel with her. She was tired of being pursued by both humans and youkai.” Inuyasha sighed. “Rumor had it that it would come back through her reincarnation.”

 

“Why did she sacrifice herself?” Miroku asked.

 

“I don't remember the details but her true love or some shit betrayed her after he made a deal with a youkai for immortality.”

 

“Ah.” Miroku asked. “Well we need to get her protection and now.”

 

“I know that.” Inuyasha snapped. “I'll have to talk to Sesshomaru.”

 

“I still can't believe you work under your brother.” Miroku chuckled.

 

“He's the one who lets me do what the fuck I want.”

 

“He's the one that keeps you out of trouble you mean.” Miroku laughed harder. “The only reason you two get away with anything is because everyone is afraid of you.”

 

 

“You're out of your fucking mind!” An outraged hanyou shouted.

 

“No, I'm not.” A much taller version of Inuyasha put a hand to his forehead. Although he was Inuyasha's half brother Sesshomaru the two were nothing alike. Sesshomaru's features were more feminine with a long face, high cheek bones that had two streaks of pink. He was thin not muscled and now he was getting irritated.

 

“The arrangements are already made with the hospital. She'll arrive at your home this afternoon so you better get going.” Sesshomaru went back to his paperwork. “Remember if she's not with you she's with Miroku or Sango. Don't fuck this up, I don't feel like cleaning up another one of your messes.”

 

Inuyasha slammed the office door and everyone who had been listening went back to their work. He was in a bad mood, and why? Because he was stuck babysitting the girl that got away, though he could get closer to the sick bastard faster. No! He was not a fucking babysitter. He didn't stay up for all those late nights to do this!

 

As usual he drove home angrily to set up his house for `babysitting', but when he got there he noticed the unwanted company was already inside his house. He opened the door to his apartment to see Kagome standing in front of his large window that looked over the city. She had her back to him with a blanket around her shoulders. When he shut the door she turned around to face him and she looked at him with sad eyes.

 

“I'm sorry, your friends let me in.” She said in a weak voice.

 

Suddenly all of Inuyasha's anger subsided and he walked over to her. “Don't worry about it.” He said gruffly.

 

“I don't mean for you to have to baby-sit me, but I'm not allowed to return home.” Kagome explained and looked back out through the window.

 

“Are you sure you should be up and walking around?” Inuyasha asked. “Didn't you get a hand through your stomach?”

 

Kagome let the blanket drop off of her left shoulder and lifted her shirt to show him the wound. It was stitched up but not bandaged like it should've been and there was tons of bruising around the center. “It's not that bad.” She put her shirt back down and wrapped herself up again.

 

Inuyasha noticed that she was just wearing a thin tank top with shorts on. “Why don't you put more clothes on? You look cold.”

 

“They haven't brought any of my stuff yet.” Kagome explained. “Sango brought these for me, my clothes were completely stained in blood.”

 

After a few moments of silence he began shuffling his feet. “Why are you just staring out the window?”

 

“Your name is Inuyasha right?” Kagome asked ignoring his question.

 

“Yea.”

 

“You're a hanyou, half inu youkai half human.”

 

“And you're a miko? So what?” Inuyasha was starting to get irritated. He hated it when people brought up him being a hanyou. Most people looked down on him for it.

 

“You have a powerful aura for being a half youkai.” Kagome looked at him. “Your different then most youkai, you must've come from a strong family bloodline.”

 

Inuyasha was shocked. Most mikos hated youkai, even half blooded ones. They thought they were a plague upon the world that never should've been. “Where is the Shikon no Tama?” Inuyasha finally asked.

 

Kagome reached into her shirt and pulled out what looked like half of the jewel tied onto a string and handed it to him. “The other half is still in me.”

 

“How did you get this?” Inuyasha examined the half jewel in his hand.

 

“I was born with the birthmark. In my family it's been a tradition that any female born with anything unusual was to be killed so that the jewel wouldn't be reborn.” Kagome explained as a tear fell from her eye. “But Otou-san was a drunk and Okaa-san hid me away from him. He died a couple years after I was born in a drunk driving accident so I survived...That's twice now…”

 

Inuyasha put a hand on her shoulder not sure what else he could do to comfort her. “Don't worry, he won't touch you as long as I'm around.”

 

“How are you so sure? Are you that confident of your abilities?” Kagome asked. “When he attacked me, I could feel so much of his evil aura that it made me sick.”

 

“You'll just have to trust me.” Inuyasha explained.

 

 

I don't know too much about being a detective or CSI stuff so I'm just pulling stuff out of nowhere but if you enjoy it then it won't matter I suppose. You can correct me if you want I'm not going to complain about learning something new. Thanks for reading!
