InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ French is Chic ❯ Investigate ( Chapter 4 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
-A/N-
I’m not a big fan of John Williams, but I really do like Star Wars…so I guess this chapter’s musical influence was John William’s score to Star Wars. (and that’s Ep. 4 for you sillies out there who thought I meant phantom menace or something! haha!) And also, the Fantasia soundtrack (lerve)

P.S. Any French will be translated at the end. Share and Enjoy!! Also sorry about all the scene changes!

Disclaimer:
I do NOT own Inuyasha or any characters therein.
I have however renamed my ring tailed lemur, General R. T. Lemur. I needed some military personnel amongst my stuffed animals.

--the story--

………The next day………

The phone rang. It rang, and rang, until the answering machine picked up. “Hey…leave a message.”

“Subayai! Get up! We got a body! Hellooooo? It’s Ginta!”

Kouga rolled off the couch and picked up the phone, “Hey…I’m up. I’m up! Where is the body? What happened…uh-huh….yeah…I’ll be there in 15 minuets.” He walked into his bedroom, got some clean clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and change. While in the shower, he thought about last night. How Kagome had been like a kid at a…well…a fair. She wanted to ride everything! Touch every animal. Play every game! It’s a wonder he ever got her home. Though once they were home, there wasn’t anytime for any of the dirty, because as soon as Kouga laid her on the bed she was out. Completely asleep.

So, he slept on the couch, which brings us to the present moment.

He got out of the shower and got dressed. Before leaving the apartment, he wrote Kagome a short message telling him where he went and what didn’t happen (so as not to freak her out.) When Kouga reached the scene of the crime he was bombarded with information on the body and the witnesses (of which there were none,) as well as questions from press people.

“Whoa! Whoa! Let a boy breathe!” Ginta, Kouga’s partner, walked up and parted the waters so to speak to let Kouga get a look at the body. Kouga walked over to it and asked “What have we got?”

“A young woman, possibly 24 years old. No witnesses, except a senile old woman who keeps saying ‘she was my sister.’”

“And where’s the ME (medical examiner)”

Ginta looked around and spotted the dottery old man. “Hey Pops! Cause of death?”

The old man shuffled over to where Ginta and Kouga were standing, “I have told you time and time again! Don’t call me Pops! My name is Shimizu Ken’ichi!”

Kouga laughed, “Ok Pops, whatever you say. How did this girl die?” Pops just ‘hmmfed’ and went on to tell Ginta and Kouga that the girl was shot in both shoulders, strangled to death and drug to the spot she was at now from the alleyway about ten feet away.

“What a way to go.” Ginta had the medical people roll her over so that the CSI guys could get photos of her face. Kouga looked at the girl…she seemed so familiar. As if he knew her or had met her before. “Any kind of identification?”

Ginta flipped through some pages on a small notebook, “None that was very substantial. There is a middle school ID badge found in her billfold. Name on it is Hiyashi Kikyou. Nothing taken from her purse. Wasn’t a robbery.” Kouga simply looked at Kikyou’s face. “Why would anyone want to kill you Ms. Hiyashi?”

The phone rang.

Some people talked. A shower was turned on, then off. A door opened, closed, and Kagome’s eyes shot open. She was clothed…odd. She was also not in her hotel room. She rolled over in the bed she found herself in and discovered a note.

It read: “Kagome, I had a fun time last night...before you get all worried; nothing happened!!!! I brought you home and put you on the bed so that you could sleep comfortably. I had to go to work; I don’t know when I’ll be back. There’s cereal on the counter, or stuff for sandwiches in the fridge. You don’t have to leave, but if you need to, your shoes are in the mud room. Here’s my cell number if you need anything:…”

After reading the note, Kagome remembered. ‘Kouga…’ She got up and wandered around the apartment. She walked into his bathroom, ‘Clean, for a guy.’ She thought. Next she wandered in to the living room. “Wow.” There wasn’t even a laundry basket on the couch. Everything was put away, nothing seemed to be out of place (though Kagome wouldn’t know even if it was) also, the floor looked as though it had just been recently vacuumed. ‘He must have a maid’ she thought. ‘No guy can keep a flat this clean.’ Her stomach gurgled. “ I guess I should eat something…” Kagome walked to the kitchen, and decided to make a sandwich. Opening the fridge she found bottle, after bottle, after bottle of beer. ‘Kouga either has a bunch of parties, or he is seriously messed up in the head!’

After digging around for the sandwich stuffts, Kagome made a sandwich. She sat on the couch, and ate. Thinking that she had no business hanging out at ‘some guy’s’ place, she got on her shoes and was about to leave when once again, the phone rang; it rang, and rang, until the answering machine picked up, again. “Hey…leave a message.”

“Kouu-Chan! It’s me! Ayaa! I’m coming home! I’m just now getting on the plane. I’ll be home in about six hours! Baby, I can’t wait t see you! Bye!”

Kagome stood, frozen. ‘Tenez une seconde. Il a une petite amie?! That explains the cleanliness! Enculez-moi! ’ She was livid. Not only was she angry at Kouga, she was angry at her self for not asking the right kinds of questions at the bar, or at the fair! Oooh, Kouga was gonna get it when he next spoke with Kagome. She was going to make sure of it. She went back into the bedroom and got the note, she folded it and on the back she wrote her cell number as well as a little message, ‘Hey, give me ring…Kouu-Chan. :)’ She placed the note on the kitchen counter, then stormed out of the apartment.

“WAKE UP!” Inuyasha was rudely awakened from his uncomfortable sleep on the wooden straight backed chair, that he had been continuously thrown onto. He looked around and spotted Kagura. She put down the bucket she had used to wake Inuyasha up, “Have you remembered anything? Maybe who Kikyou gave the Jewel to? Hmm?” Kagura circled around Inuyasha and had loosely hung her arms about his shoulders.

“I don’t know anything about it!” Inuyasha tried shrugging off Kagura’s arms, but found it difficult due to the fact that he was bound to the chair, rather tightly. Kagura simply laughed, “Silly boy, we weren’t going to let you leave. At least not yet. Now, tell me who has that Jewel!”

“I don’t know!” He struggled to loosen the ropes, but to no avail. “I do know however that at some point today, people will be looking for me, Kikyou especially (uggh!)…and if I’m not where I’m supposed to be…the police will be involved.”

“Oh-ho. You are such a silly boy. Oh, wait…you haven’t seen the news yet have you?”

“What news?”

Kagura snapped her fingers and the two big French lackeys brought in a tv on a rolling cart. Kagura sent them away as she turned on the television to the right news channel. (conveniently at the start of a broadcast)

““Hello, my name is Ishikawa Atsuko. When the residents of the Minowa Apartments in Arakawa, Tokyo woke up this morning and left to do their Wednesday morning errands they were met with a gruesome scene. A 24 year old woman was brutally assaulted and killed last night in front of the apartment complex behind me. She is believed to be Hiyashi Kikyou, modeling rival and ex-girlfriend of model Takahashi Inuyasha--””

“Wait, what!?” The cameraman quit filming because Kouga walked in to view of the camera right in front of Atsuko. “Say what you just said.”

“She is believed to be the ex-girlfriend of Takahashi Inuya--”

“Boys! I think we have us a suspect!” Kouga thanked the reporter, before telling her, “Oh yeah….don’t say any more to anyone else. This investigation needs to be very secret if it’s a high-class murder.”

“But if it is a ‘high-class’ murder, then people are going to want to know!” Kouga turned and in the blink of an eye he was too close to Atsuko for her liking. “then you’ll have to make sure that they don’t!” Atsuko pushed Kouga away, “Maybe I will! I still have to do my job ya know!”

Kouga let up, and turned to go back to his car and back home. He wasn’t the primary on the case, so he was going home to check on Kagome before starting any of that investigative business. Boy how he wanted to get home.

……At Kagome’s hotel room……

““Hello, my name is Ishikawa Atsuko. When the residents of the Minowa Apartments in Arakawa, Tokyo woke up this morning and left to do their Wednesday morning errands they were met with a gruesome scene. A 24 year old woman was brutally assaulted and killed last night in front of the apartment complex behind me. She is believed to be Hiyashi Kikyou, modeling rival and ex-girlfriend of model Takahashi Inuyasha--””

Then the screen said “Please standby…” and was making that ‘beeeeeooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuup’ sound. Kagome just sat there. ‘Pourquoi est-ce que tout a lieu tellement rapidement ?’ First she arrives in Tokyo and a guy asked to bear her children. Next a model asks her to a bar only to leave her there with a playboy detective! Who she went home with! Next said model is missing, and his ex-girlfriend is found dead!

There was a knock on her door. The voices on the other side of the door saying things like, “Kagome! Open the door! Come on! We gotta go find Inuyasha!” Kagome slowly got up and answered the door. The three on the other side (Sango, Miroku, and Shippou) grabbed her arms and drug her out of the hotel and into Miroku’s car. Sango sitting in the passenger’s seat turned to the back, “Kagome, when was the last time you saw Inuyasha?”

“Uhh, umm. At the bar. He said he had to go find somebody. Then I never saw him.”

“He didn’t take you back to the hotel?” Miroku was pissed. Not only had Inuyasha been a bad date, he went and got himself kidnapped or worse!

“No, I went to the fair with Kouga, and then went to the hotel.” Kagome, lied.

Sango turned to Miroku and asked, “Do you think he had to meet with that private investigator you leased to, earlier this month? Last week he kept talking about his brother.” It was Shippou’s turn to interject, “Yeah! He was saying stuff like, ‘When I find out where he is…I’ll kill him.’ Kinda creepy if you ask me.”

Sango then hit Miroku while they turned into the bar parking lot. “I told you not to lease out to that guy! He’s done something to Inuyasha! I just know it!”

The group all but teleported out of the car. They entered the bar and all four tore up the stairs. Only to find Inuyasha’s beaten and bloody body at the top of the stairs.

End Ch. 4


-A/N- Again sorry about all the setting changes. Where is Naraku and Kagura, and those two random French body guards!? Who killed Kikyou?!! What is Kagome gonna do about everything?
French:
“Tenez une seconde” -- Hold on a second.
“Il a une petite amie?!” -- He has a girlfriend?
“Enculez-moi.”-- Fuck me!
“ Pourquoi est-ce que tout a lieu tellement rapidement.” -- Why is everything taking place so quickly? ( my realization that events were moving waaaaaay too fast…. I’ll try and slow down!

Sorry about the shortness. Please feel free to R&R!!! Encourage your friends!!!
