Chapter-01 Relief

Inuyasha and Kagome look around the burnt well house. Inuyasha picks up a small piece of the burnt wood and it instantly disintegrates. He turns to look at Kagome, who is also looking at the incinerated house.

“What happened?” Inuyasha says in a low tone.

“ Was it arson?” She looks at Inuyasha with a worried look on her face. “ Do you think everyone’s fine?”

“I hope so...”

Once they get out of the burnt well house, they notice that the rest of the shrine is ok, so that ruled out arson, or maybe the fires didn‘t spread. Kagome rushed to her house, with Inuyasha, to find where everyone was. Once she got to her house and got inside she could hear people talking. It was her mother and what appeared to be an older man. They where talking about the well house.

“ Just be thankful that there was no wind yesterday”

‘Yesterday?’ Kagome said very quietly so no one could hear her, except Inuyasha of course.

“You mean to tell me that happened yesterday?” Kagome put her finger to her mouth telling him to be quiet. She continued to eavesdrop on the conversation.

“ Did anyone get hurt in the incident, Mrs. Higurashi?”

“ Fortunately no one got hurt.”

“ That is good to hear. Now, we have no suspect as of right now as to who set the fire, but we are looking into it.” He paused for a moment “It would help us out greatly if we could question your family as to what might have happened. Is anyone else here at this time?”

“No, I’m the only one here right now, the rest should be back soon, except for Kagome.”
“And Kagome is?”

“My daughter. She will be staying over at a friends tonight.”

“ Now if you will, please let us examine the shed once more for any clues as to who the suspect is.”

“ Oh no, hide Inuyasha!” She says sounding anxious to get out of there. They both run out side, then Kagome get on Inuyasha’s back. Inuyasha then proceeds to jump in the nearest tree. Just as they get in the tree, the inspectors walk out side towards the well house.
As they do so, Inuyasha and Kagome try to enter Kagome’s room, without drawing attention to themselves, they do make noise, but not enough fro them to get noticed. Once they are inside, Kagome drops her backpack onto her bed and hurries down the stairs. Once down stairs she can see her mom drinking a cup of coffee.

“ Oh this is going to be a long day” she says to herself before sipping the coffee again

“ Mama, What happened to the well house?”

Startled to hear Kagome’s voice, Mrs. Higurashi spilled the cup of coffee on her self, right as she was about to take a sip too. Once the steaming coffee had hit her, she let out a scream so loud, that Inuyasha’s ears hurt more than her lap. Upon recovering, Inuyasha rushed towards the sound of the scream, as did the officers. Once Inuyasha is at the bottom of the stairs, the two police officers are there too. Not noticing each other they both say at the same time

“I/we heard some one scream!” The officers proceed to ask who the two people are. After much stammering the two officers begin to get suspicious.

“She’s my daughter Kagome.”

“ I thought you said she wasn’t going to be back today.”

“ I wasn’t planning on it, I,... uh, just needed to get a few things from my room”

Kagome makes her way to the stairs, knowing that the cops are obviously aware of Inuyasha

“Hey kid, don’t you know its illegal to carry a sword around?” Inuyasha growls at that last comment and just walk up the stairs with Kagome, ignoring the cops screams.

“Who were they?” He asks

That's right I never told him about the police. How am I going to explain this to him she thinks to herself for a while.

“ They where the police” she wait for Inuyasha’s reply

“The what?”

Knew it, alright, now what am I going to tell him? “ They are called the police, they are supposed to keep order in this time, and certain things from your time, you can’t do with out getting arrested.”

“Arrest-” she cuts him off

“for example you can’t kill any one, even if they are demon, they will most likely resemble humans and you can’t kill humans, got that?”

“ Feh, I wasn't planning on killing anyone while we were here, now what's this arrested shit you were talking about?”

“ Arrested is the end result of doing something illegal, most of the time. Basically you get sent to jail.”

Upon seeing the once more confused look on Inuyasha’s face she went on to explain what jail was, by the time she was finished one of the officers was upstairs. He proceed over to where Inuyasha is standing

“ Ok, put the sword down, I won’t ask you again”

“ This is a perfect example Inuyasha”

Inuyasha? that's a weird name, its probably a nick-name, then again, what about those ears?

“ I won’t put down my sword” Inuyasha growls at him. The officer grabs his pistol and points it at Inuyasha. Even though he doesn't know what this thing in his hand it he knows it is a weapon so he reaches for his tetsusaiga, and the officer hardened his aim at Inuyasha

“Please don’t shoot!” Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs
“Now what's he gotten into this time” The officer down stairs says, rhetorically to Mrs. Higurashi, he is then silenced when he hears a gunshot. The whole house goes silent, uncomfortably silent for the longest of time, broken by the screams of Kagome.
