The group all said their goodbyes and headed for their lockers, which were all in different halls.

“Could this day get any better?” Kagome asked herself as she rested her forehead against her locker. “I hate Mondays!!!”

“Well, you look like you’ve seen better days, kiddo.”

She groaned and opened her locker and got her books out of it. “Oh, you know. Just the usual. So how are you doing, Koga?” she asked as she took in his appearance. He was six feet tall and lean. He had his black hair pulled up in a neat pony tail as usual and his Blue eyes shined as they always did. The smile he always had on was in perfect form, and his teeth seemed to shine abnormally bright as always.

“Never been better and now that IV gotten to see you my day is perfect. And besides all that you know, just training for Saturdays baseball game with my team so we can wipe the floor with the mutt,” he said smirking. “So we can prove that the basketball team is better then the football team.”

“But the football team is better then the basketball team. Don’t worry, cousin. Everyone already knows that,” Inu Yasha said wrapping his arms around Kagome’s shoulders.

“Really?” Koga asked as he winked suggestively at Kagome causing her to blush.

“Yeah, really!” shouted Inu Yasha as he shoved Koga backwards away from Kagome.

“Kagome, I have a question on last week’s homework. Could you help me?” asked Naraku as he successfully created a distraction.

“Thank the lord, yes,” she said, happy for the distraction to keep Inu Yasha and Koga from fighting. “How about during study period” she asked.

His green eye‘s shined in happiness “Yeah, that would be great,” he said as he walked off.

“I hate him,” both Koga and Inu Yasha said in unison.

“What do you know, the Tashio’s actually agree on something!” Sango taunted as she looped her arm with Kagome’s. “Come, my darling, it’s time to face a fate worse than death,” she said dramatically.

“NO! Don’t say it’s so!” Kagome said, playing along.

“I’m afraid so,” Sango replied, putting her hand on her forehead. “We have to go to … to Larson’s!”

Inu Yasha and Koga both shook their heads at the girls and watched as they disappeared around the corner.

“My dad had an interesting case cross his desk this weekend,” Koga said opening his backpack and handing Inu Yasha a case file. “You didn’t get this from me!”

“Thank you, Uncle Mick,” Inu Yasha said as he took the file and took a quick look through it.

“You cant keep treating her like she going to break ya know” Koga asked watching Inu Yasha’a face “Your just turning her into a victim but she‘s stronger then that, You do know that don’t you mutt face”

Inu Yasha snarled “don’t put poke your nose into where its not welcome and stay the fuck away from her she doesn’t need to deal with your crap” He stashed the file into his back pack “I‘m just keeping her safe”

Koga scoffed “sure, you keep believing that” both Inu Yasha and Koga took off to their own classes.

The rest of the day went pretty normally. Inu Yasha had asked Kagome to meet him at the library during her prep period to discuss what he had found out about the murder, so she dropped her stuff off at her locker and headed to the library. ‘That’s all I need’ she growled ‘good news Kagome your personal stalker is moving up in the world now he’s killing people! Just fucking great’

“Hey, Kagome, you’re early!” Naraku said happily as he walked towards her.

“Crap!” she screamed in her head. She had totally spaced that she had agreed to help him. “Hey, Naraku! How are you?” she asked nervously

Naraku sighed and stared at her face. “You forgot, didn’t you?”

“You can read me like a book, my friend,” she sighed. “I know! How about I come over later tonight and help you out? I mean, it’s not that long of a walk--you just live down the block. I would do it now, but I have something else really important to do, is all.”

“Alright,” he agreed. “How about six o‘clock?”

“Perfect,” she agreed, and hurriedly took off to find Inu Yasha, who was in the back of the library in the stacks.

“Her name was Kikyou Heart, she went to school here. She was the head cheerleader, too,” Inu Yasha said, popping out of a stack of books and showing her the file and the awful pictures of the crime scene. “I know you have no idea who she was, but in are little world of sports she was a big thing”

“I don’t care about that. Was it him?” she asked looking through the file.

“Yes.”

“How do you know?” she asked scrutinizing a photo she had picked up.

“Because he left a note with the same writing as the one Romeo leaves for you.”

“But why did he kill her?” she said rubbing her forehead “he didn’t kill before did he”

“The police think it’s a mugging gone awry, but…”

“But what, Inu Yasha?”

“This girl and you kind of look alike. So it could have been that Romeo thought it was you. Then, when he found out that it wasn’t, he went into a rage and stabbed her. Or he wanted a substitute you to…” he clenched his fist “she was raped”

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes, she was killed in the girl’s locker room on Sunday, which was yesterday. That means that Romeo goes to our school, because that’s the only way someone is getting in here on the weekend.”

“Who do the police think did it?”

“They think its Zander Haris or Sandy Shay. They both have motives but, unfortunately, they also have alibis.”

“What’s Zander’s motive?”
“She wouldn’t go out with him, and he doesn’t take rejection well. I suspect roid rage actually look at that freak”

“And his alibi would be?” she asked trying to get him back on track

“He was working out at the gym on 12th and 5th all day and night.”

“Okay, why is Sandy Shay a suspect?”

“She’s a suspect because she had threatened Kikyou.”

“Why?”

“Kikyou always treated her like crap. She seamed to take it as a button pushing offense might have wanted to emasculate her body….”

“Her alibi is?”

“She was working at her intern job.”

“Do you think that it was either of them?”“No. This is connected to you, and they don’t know or care about you. Its not right they think your making this up” He studied her face “However I think it’s my shifty eyed cousin or that Naraku. I don’t trust either of them.”

“And in the land of the sane you really don’t have a clue” she said resting her head in her hands. “How sad is this? The cop‘s can’t help me so the Scooby gang is on the case,” she said, shaking her head.

“Yeah, but at least I‘m better looking than Tama‘s finest,” he said, wiggling his eyebrow at her.

She couldn’t help but smile. “I’m not something you have to worry about. And infact how many times have I told you it would be safer for you to stay away from me all together”

“How about I do anyway,” he replied pulling her into his lap and kissing her forehead.
