Face the Music

 

 

 

Approximately a month later, the news of what happened that night was heard all across the world and Kagome was receiving multiple gift baskets, cards, flowers, the works. From that night, InuYasha has never left Kagome's side and held her until they both went to sleep at night. Kagome complained that she needed to wash away all of the feelings and presence of Kouga so she died her hair back to black before trimming it. Along with this, Kagome signed a new label for herself and reestablish her original name as Kagome. Finally Kagome was called to court to testify against Kougisa Wolfai.

There was no hope for him. Kouga and the dark man were wearing orange jumpsuits and cuff links. Kagome had her original hair color wore a pink button down pin stripe shirt with a black pencil skirt stopping just above the knee cap and black pumps that strapped around her ankles. InuYasha wore a black suit matching Kagome with black pants and shoes, as well as a pink shirt. Kouga looked at Kagome holding InuYasha's hand and tried to calm down as his blood raged to hold her. He wanted to kill InuYasha and take Kagome as his again. Before the judge had entered, Kagome gave a side glance to Kouga and quickly looked away with her head in InuYasha's shoulder as Kouga glared at them. Finally the judge had entered and everyone stood. “Case # 105 0600, Ms. Higurashi and witness against Mr. Wolfai and Mr. Miasma. The honorable Judge Michaels and jury on this case for the crimes of Rape, 1st degree Murder, and possible Homicide”, the bailiff began as Kagome held onto InuYasha's hand tightly. After the introductions, InuYasha was called up to stand after the testimonies of both Kouga and the dark man.

“Mr. Takahashi, how do you know Ms. Higurashi?”, the lawyer defending Kouga asked. “We have a history together…she is my ex-girlfriend since high school and we kept contact before and after she became famous”, InuYasha defended himself. “Okay, and where were you on the night the crime was committed?” “I was at her house as a surprised guest for her birthday party that our friends were throwing”, InuYasha answered back calm and coolly. “How did you find out where Kagome was located?”, the lawyer bantered ignoring the confused expression on the judge's face. “When we went out, I had someone to install a global tracking device so I can always find her in case something like this happen. On that note, when the incident occur I used my tracker to find out where she was since she was late in meeting our friends and wasn't answering her cell phone”, InuYasha said slowly watching his words. “Plausible explanation but how did you know she was in trouble… she could've easily gotten lost in her track of time with my client”, the lawyer shot back quickly trying to scare InuYasha. But InuYasha ignored his bantered and smiled. “What are you smiling about Mr. Takahashi?”, the lawyer asked now perplexed.

InuYasha takes out a tape recorder before answering and asked the judge if he may present his evidence. “On that night, we waited out for Kagome and at approximately 8pm, her house phone ringed and this was the message that played”, InuYasha began before pressing play. “Kougisa- STOP! (Some rustling before a yelp) SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! OH MY GOD! (A hard smack was heard) PLEASE STOP! YOU'RE HURTING ME! KOUGISA- (tape played a beeping sound before InuYasha turned it off).” The lawyer silently growled before shouting, “THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN ANYONE ON THAT TAPE!” The judge banged his gavel before giving the lawyer a warning. The lawyer regained his composure before speaking to InuYasha again. “Okay once you reached Kagome and defended her from the accused Mr. Wolfai, when did Mr. Miasma come in?”, he said buying time. “After knocking Kougisa out, this guy comes and shoots him. When he was coming toward me and Kagome, he aimed his gun at my temple but Kagome dropped kick him before pounding him herself. Then she used her miko powers and de-Wolfai him. We then recognize him to be the same guy from years back who was trying to kill Kagome but was never caught”, InuYasha replied ignoring the frustration that crossed the lawyers face.

“If asked can she repeat this act of purification?”, the lawyer asked. Kagome stood up as the judge called her forward. She began taking deep breaths in and out before shooting out another beam of light from her body towards Kouga. Kouga had luckily ducked in time and the judge summoned her back in her seat and away from Kouga. “Are there anymore questions Mr. Pashutsky?”, the judge asked the lawyer. “Not now”, the lawyer replied as InuYasha got up from his seat and went to hug Kagome. The judge called for recess as Kouga and the dark man were taken back to the holding cell.

An hour later recess ended and everyone reported back to the court. The lawyer began with calling Kagome up for her testimony. After the testimony was heard, the jury was left make their decision. While the jury deliberated, Kouga was sitting across from Kagome and trying to talk to her. But either InuYasha got in the way or Kagome just ignored him. So Kouga decided to hum a song but Kagome quickly became annoyed and started to sing a song of her own thoughts.

After the song, Kagome turned away from Kouga and the dark man while taking her seat at the same time as InuYasha. The jury re-entered the room along with the judge. “The jury has come to a decision”, jury member #1 said. The judge signal for the defendant and the plaintiff to both stand. “Any last words before the decision is heard”, he asked both sides. Everyone shook there head implying a no. “We the jury found Kougisa Jikai Wolfai guilty for rape. We the jury found Naraku Miasma guilty of 1st degree murder and homicide”, the jury announced. Kagome turned around and hugged InuYasha until he was breathless. The lawyer bowed his head and shook it in shame as the judge finished by saying, “Mr. Wolfai and Mr. Miasma would report back here a month from now for their sentencing. This case is adjourned”, before banging his gavel once.
