-1CHAPTER 1: THE NEW RECRUIT

5:30 at Behavior Analisis unit, Quantico

"So when's this agent Kasshu supposed to get here? I want to meet this guy after reading his file." said Inuyasha aka agent Takahashi

"Shippo said he would be arriving about now." replied Sango aka agent taji. The team had been sitting around their desks for about a half an hour waiting for their newest team recruit. The team consisted of team leader Inuyasha Takahashi. Second in comand Miroku houshi, agent Sango Taji. Agent Kikyo Kanji and agent Koga Wolf. Also the director Shippo Higurashi and technical specialist Kilala Taji. The group sat there for another 5 minutes when Inuyasha noticed a beautifully tall raven haired women with a muscular build wearing a black pin stripped suit with black dress shirt and black boots.

"Whose that" Inuyasha asked. The team looked in her direction. Kilala walked up behind the group while they were lookin away. She heard his question.

"That's agent Kasshu." she replied. They all looked toward her.

"that's the new recruit." koga questioned.

"yea who did you think Kagome Kasshu was." they stared at her dumbfounded.

"Hey guys" Shippo interrupted "this is agent Kagome Kasshu." he introduced. Shippo pointed to each of the agents and introduced them. They all shook hands then Shippo showed Kagome to her desk. When she sat down and got comfortable Sango came over to talk to her.

"So if you need anything just ask I'd be happy to help" Sango offered cheerfully

"Thank you I appreciate it." Kagome replied smiling

MEANWHILE

"Well Sango and Kagome seem to be getting along." Miroku said.

"I'd like to get to know her if you know what I mean." Koga said. With that Inuyasha slapped him upside the head. Just then Kikyo walked in.

"hey guys we've got another case." she said. The group got up and gathered in the confrence room. They sat around a round table while kikyo stood in front of a tv scren ready to explain the case. When everyone was in and seated she began.

"ok. In Boston, Massachusettes there's a spree of murders all over town. All the victims were women approximately 5'7 black hair either brown or blue eyes and live alone. The women were found declothed. They were sexually assulted and then stranggled. It is apparent by the markings on the bodies that the victims were tourchered. And at each scene the detectives found a piece of paper each with a different word on it. The three victims were college students. The first was greed, the second was lust, and the third was sloth."

" three of the seven deadly sins." Kagome stated.

"exactly" Kikyo verified.

"that could mean that the unsub sees himself as a messanger of god someone sent to punish those he deems as sinners." Miroku stated

"it could also suggest he was brought up in a torn home maybe abusive parents or drunken parent he could've turned to god as a way of redemption." Kagome added

"that's all well and good but what about the sexual assult." Sango asked

"maybe he was assaulted as a kid." koga suggested

"that would make scence." inuyasha said. "we'll have to discuss this more on the jet everyone be back here in one hour ready to go." they all gathered their stuff and and headed out. Inuyasha walked up to kagome. "what a first day huh?" he asked with a small chuckle.

"yea well its all part of the job." she replied smiling back. She headed to her car. She got into her black Pontiac roadster and drove to her apartment. She lived in a nice penthouse apartment with four bedroom each with their own bathroom a spacious living room and kitchen with bar and an office. The walls were a pale blue and had pictures of her family and the rest of the shuffle alliance on them. She walked into her room and packed a bag then headed back to the office. When she got there everyone was waiting. When Inuyasha saw her he stood up.

"alright lets get going." he said. They all walked out to the hanger and boarded the jet. They were in the air in minutes.

"alright the lead detective is detective Jordan micheals" Kikyo explained. "in 32 years of being an officer he said he's never seen a crime that was so contradictory."

"contradictory? What does he mean by that?" Koga asked. Kikyo shrugged

"well think about it, in cases like these the victims aren't usually assaulted. The unsub is tring to say that he thinks these women are sinners and that he's tring to punish them but then he turns around and commits a sin himself." Kagome explained.

"She's right." Miroku said. "If this guy thinks he's a messanger of God then he wouldn't rape his victims."

"not nessicerilly" sango cut in " a few years ago there was acase in where the unsub thought he was god and that the only way to cleanse his victims of sins to save their souls was to assult them."

"oh yea I remember that case, in fact it was eerily similar to this one." Kagome stated.

"you think it could be a copy cat?" Kikyo asked.

"maybe the murders took place in Manchester , new hamshire that's not far from boston." Sango stated.

"ok call kilala and have her pull the file in that case and have it sent to the station we'll look over it there." Inuyasha said. Koga dialed kilala's number. It rang a few times.

"speak and be heard mortals." she answered .

"hey kilala can you pull a case file for us and have It sent to the station we're headed to?" koga asked over the speaker phone.

"sure which one?" she asked

"it was three years ago in Manchester new Hampshire there was a series of murders similar to the ones we're working on now I believe it was in September of '04'" Kagome stated.

"no problem I'll get right on that."

"thanks" koga said then hung up"

"attention all passengers we're about to land in 20 minuets please find a seat and buckle up" said the pilet over the intercom. They all buckled up and prepared to get to work.
