Am I insane for writing two stories at once? YES. But this has been something on my mind for a really long time. I'm trying to expand my writing experiences by taking on new stories. I'm not sure whether this is going to be a mini series (4-6 chapters) or a really long story. It'll depend on the reviews I guess. Once you're finished reading this, here are two more stories you can read if you're still bored:

Waiting to be Reunited (Completed)

Shikon Cafe! (In-Progress)

You can find both of these stories on my page. Please please PLEASSEEE review and tell me what ya'll think. Thank you my loves!

Summary: Life was perfect for Kagome Higurashi, that is until her fiancé is murdered and she's the next target. Inuyasha works for the FBI and is assigned the task to protect her until the criminal is found. The question of the year: What is this murderer after?

Chapter 1 – The Murder

Detective Sesshomaru Takahashi sat at his desk, quickly completing the last of his paperwork for the night. His eyes kept glancing at the clock as he hurriedly filed each of his documents.

"Would you look at this? The Sesshomaru leaving early from work for once?" Sango smiled at him as she walked into his office. "What's the occasion?"

"I suggest knocking before walking into your superior's office," He glared at her before slamming his file cabinet closed.

"I bet it's that new girl you're dating. Rei? Rem? What was her name again?" Sango pondered, looking at her boss for an answer.

"It's Rin and I don't have time for your bothersome questions," The detective began to pull on his coat when Miroku walked into the room.

"Homicide on Miller Avenue. The cops want us down there now," Miroku glanced at his boss, "I hope you don't have any plans for tonight."

"Not anymore," He mumbled and picked up his phone. "Go ahead. I need to make a quick call."

"Poor Rin, hope she won't be too disappointed," Sango winked at him and quickly moved out the door before he could scold her again.

"Ah, so he's still seeing the girl from the Christmas party," Miroku followed his companion, "I think three months is an all time new record."

"I can't even remember the last time he dated anyone," Sango grabbed her keys from her desk. "I'll drive."

"Even that cold hearted man can get a woman. Why is my luck so terrible?" Miroku sighed, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Maybe it's because you're such a pervert."

The two pulled up behind a line of cop cars, noticing the crowd that was drawing to the closed off house. "Don't people have better things to do?" Sango muttered opening her door and slamming it shut.

"Calm down my dear Sango. They're all just curious," Miroku walked to her side as they fought through the growing crowd.

"OUTTA MY WAY! DETECTIVES COMING THROUGH!" Sango screamed at the crowd, pushing and shoving bystanders aside.

"That's one way to handle things," Miroku rolled his eyes and apologized to the thrown aside victims.

Sango and Miroku slid under the police line and showed their badges to the cop before proceeding to the house. "Honestly, they see us all the time yet they always want to see our friggin identification."

"It's their job. You can't blame them."

"Would you stop defending everyone!"

"And here they are now," A man wearing a cop uniform walked over to the two bickering detectives. "Sorry to call you on such short notice."

"And who are you?" Sango asked, not recognizing the man.

"Name's Koga. I just moved here to take the job as Chief." The man said proudly, sticking out his chest. "I don't mean to brag, but-"

"Then don't. What do we have here?" Sango gestured toward the house.

"Follow me. We're not really sure ourselves." Koga led them into the house where forensics were already scavenging the place. "I would guess a home invasion, but so far nothing valuable looks missing." The three headed up the stairs, noticing nothing that could have been a sign of struggle.

"Any ideas on how the Un-sub got in?" Miroku asked.

"Un-sub?" Koga raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Whenever we don't know who the criminal is during cases, we label them 'Un-sub'. We got it from the show Criminal Minds." Sango explained.

The Chief of Police shrugged and stopped at a closed door. "If you guys are squeamish, I suggest-"

"Would we have this job if we were?" Sango rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Guess not. Don't say I didn't warn ya," Koga pushed open the door and the two detectives stared in horror.

"Oh my god…" Sango inched into the room slowly, never taking her eyes off the bed. A male's body was sprawled out on the bed where he lay in a pool of his own blood. His legs were bent two different ways and there were rips in his pants, leaving bloody holes in its place. The man's eyes were still open and some of his teeth looked like they were missing. One of his ears looked like it had been cut off and a gaping hole was left in his chest. It wasn't the size of a bullet hole either. It looked as if someone had ripped out his entire stomach.

"Damn," Miroku crinkled up his nose as the dead body's smell finally hit him. "Who called the cops? A neighbor who heard the struggle?"

"No, his fiancé came home late and found him like this. She called the cops. Poor thing," Koga shook his head. "The man's name is Yuji Hiroshi, age 27. We don't know much more than that. The fiancé is back at the station. She can't answer any questions at the moment."

"I wouldn't blame her. How horrible," Sango shook her head.

"This wasn't some random home invasion. Whoever did this looks like they took their time killing him. I'm guessing a jealous co-worker or acquaintance." Miroku observed.

"No one heard any screaming or anything? Not to mention there's no sign of struggle anywhere." Sango moved towards the windows, checking if they were locked.

"This man wasn't murdered here," Sesshomaru walked into the room, looking unfazed from the bloody mess. "He was dead before he got home."

"How can you tell?" Koga looked in surprise at the man with long white hair.

"It's more of an educated guess," Sesshomaru replied and quickly pulled on a pair of blue rubber gloves. "What do we have here?"

"Uh, I'm not sure if you're allowed to touch the body yet." Koga warned.

Ignoring the man, Sesshomaru began to unbutton the man's shirt, exposing the red flesh. The detective began to examine the wound, studying the body closely. "Interesting." Sesshomaru slowly shoved his hand into the massive hole in the man's chest, moving the dead flesh aside.

"Oh gross," Sango looked away and tried to drown out the gross squishing noises coming from the body.

"What are you doing!" Koga was about to stop the man when Miroku grabbed his arm.

"Trust me, he knows what he's doing." Miroku nodded toward his boss.

Sesshomaru slowly pulled out an object, looking at in confusion. The thing was covered in blood and dead tissue.

"What is it?" Miroku and Koga asked in unison.

"A knife. You there, get forensics up here," Sesshomaru turned to Koga.

"Y-Yeah sure," He hurried downstairs.

"What the hell was that doing in his stomach?" Sango turned back to observe the thing with her own eyes.

"I doubt it was his lunch," Miroku said, causing the woman to glare at him.

"It's a message from the killer." Sesshomaru eyed the knife closely, noticing a small engraving on the end.

Kagome Higurashi sat quietly in what she believed was the interrogation room. Her eyes were red from all of the crying she had been doing for the past six hours. How can this be happening? This can't be real. It just can't be. Kagome felt a lump form in the back of her throat and she quickly gulped down the water she had been given. She threw the cup against the wall and watched the glass explode into hundred of little pieces. You were just alive this morning. You were laughing this morning. You were holding me in your arms this morning. How can you be dead? It's just not real.

"Woah there," Kagome turned to face a chubby officer who walked into the room. "Let's just take a deep breath and relax."

Kagome glared at the man. How could he ask her to calm down and relax at a time like this? "Are you here to ask if you can interrogate me yet?"

"I'm here, Ms. Higurashi, to ask if I can ask you a couple of questions," The officer "corrected" her.

"I'll talk now. I think it's impossible for me to cry anymore. I'm all out of tears."

"I'm… uh… sorry to hear that," The officer said awkwardly before sitting on the opposite side of the metal table. "Let's take things slow, shall we?"

Kagome nodded and took a deep breath.

"When was the last time you saw Yuji Hiroshi alive?" The officer took out a pen and set his clipboard on the table.

"This morning."

"Was he acting strangely? Any odd behavior?"

"No. It was your regular Sunday morning for us."

"And what is that?"

"I always wake up early to take a shower and make him breakfast. He works early on Sunday's and I always tell him that he should switch his schedule around so he can relax at home… I'm sorry I'm drifting off topic."

"It's alright. Where did your fiancé work?"

"Him and his brother own their own comic book shop. He's going to college though so he can major in law. He's always working and I always complain that he should take things one step at a time. But he just loves to keep himself busy." Kagome smiled.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to have to bring this up, but you should stop using the present tense in this situation."

"What do you mean?"

"You're referring to your fiancé as if he were alive. It's not healthy for you." The officer nodded, "What time did your fiancé leave the house today?"

Kagome glared at the man, wanting to rip that stupid badge of his shirt and break it, just like she had done to the glass. "He leaves at 7:30 every morning on Sunday so he can open up his shop at 8."

"Was this the last time you saw your fiancé alive?"

"Yes." Kagome felt her heart drop, not realizing that watching him drive off down the street was the last time she…

"Did you have any communication whatsoever with him between the times off 10:00 and 5:00?"

"Yes, he called me around 3:00, telling me he would be home late tonight."

The officer stopped writing and leaned forward. "Did he say where he was going?"

"He said him and a couple of his friends were stopping off at a bar and getting something to drink. This isn't unusual for him. Yuji and his friends stop for drinks once a week for some guy time. But Yuji never drinks. He hates alcohol and doesn't even allow it in the house." Kagome smiled again.

"Who are the men that accompanied your fiancé?"

"Akitoki Hojo, Satoshi Okazaki, and Suzaku Usui." Kagome loved Yuji's friends just as much as he did. They would never do something like this. They would never… A knock came from the mirror and the police man quickly got up and left the room.

"Oh. So it's a see through glass. Or a one sided mirror. I don't know what they call it," Kagome glared at the mirror, hoping she was looking at the stupid fat officer.

"She's in here," The officer was back and he held open the door for two men in black uniforms. They stood in front of her and stopped, crossing their arms along their chest. A shorter man stumbled in the room, muttering to himself as he moved to sit across the table.

"Kagome Higurashi I presume?" The short bald man asked. She nodded. "I regret to inform you this, but we believe your fiancé was murdered by a group of assassins known as 'Souruītā'. Also referred to as 'Soul Eaters'."

"W-What? Did you find the murderer?" Kagome asked quickly, shocked by the news.

"No, I'm afraid not. But we have just received word that a group of detectives have found an item with their symbol on it. The item was located in your fiancé's body."

"What do you mean 'in his body'?" Kagome asked, afraid to know the answer.

"At the moment, I can not reveal that information to you. But we now have reason to believe that this group will come after you next." The bald man nodded toward her.

"What the hell is going on! My fiancé has done nothing to them!" Kagome felt tears starting to build up in her eyes again.

"Now, we can't be entirely sure of that. Until we can find more evidence for this case, I'm putting you under Protective Services."

"How do you even know these people are after me?" Kagome glared at the man, wanting to run home and cry herself to sleep. But she knew that wasn't possible. Yuji's body was probably still there…

"This group is known for its violence and its thirst for vengeance. We have reason to believe that your fiancé was not killed in your home, but his body was brought there after he died. We believe they were sending a message to you. Now, until we can confirm that this is false, I have to put you under Protective Services." The bald man said with more force in his voice.

Kagome stopped herself from fighting back with this man. As soon as she saw Yuji's body… She just knew whoever killed him had a reason behind it. There was no way some robber or random person would inflict so much damage on him… Her Yuji… "Where do I have to go?" Kagome said quietly.

"We have someone here to pick you up. He's assigned to be your bodyguard. It's only temporary. Probably for a week at the most."

"I thought you said a group killed Yuji?" Kagome asked, perplexed.

"I did." The man stared at her and sighed. He obviously didn't want to be here.

"Then why is only one person protecting me?" I guess I'm really not that important, Kagome thought to herself.

"Oh believe me. This guy is highly trained. He could take on about ten guys at a time and leave without a scratch on him. He has a bit of a… special ability he was born with." The bald man nodded; pleased with the way he worded the sentence.

"Um, okay. Can I go home and get my things?" Or could you all get the hell out of my house so I can sleep in my own bed tonight? She suddenly remembered Yuji's body sprawled out on their bed and she gagged a little.

"I'm afraid not tonight. Once forensics has collected everything they need and uh… clean up a bit… you'll have to wait."

"Where are they going to move his body?" Kagome asked, not wanting for him to stray too far from her…

"They'll take it down to the lab and continue examining it. And uh," He took out a piece of crumbled up paper from his shirt pocket, "I express my condolences for your loss. It is unfathomable of what you are going through right now. Please know that our thoughts are with you." He sounded like a robot as he read the paper.

"Okay," Was all Kagome could think to say.

Slipping the paper back into his shirt pocket, he stood up and motioned toward the door, "Come with me and I'll send you on your way."

Kagome stood up from her chair and was about to follow when the police man stopped her, "Hold on a second. We haven't finished with the interrogation."

"I thought you were 'just asking questions'." Kagome glared at the man.

"I can't let her out of police custody until my superior clears her of any suspicion." The officer said, ignoring the girl.

"What do you mean 'suspicion'? You don't think that I…" Kagome stared at the man in disbelief. "You think that I have something to do with Yuji's death?"

Before the officer could respond, one of the men in the black suits stepped forward and glared at the fat man. "Mr. Agasaki has higher priority over your superior. He says she's leaving. So she's leaving."

"That's not-" The man turned away from him and quickly ushered Kagome out of the room. The short bald man and the other guy in black followed close behind, ignoring the officer's protests.

"Bring the car around Inuyasha." Kagome looked down at the bald man who had a phone pressed to his ear. "Yeah we have her… I don't know… Just shut up and do your job!" He hung up and shoved it in his pocket. "Damn idiot."

As Kagome walked along side the strange men, she couldn't help but think back to this morning. Yuji had gotten up at 6:15 like he always did once he smelled her cooking. He came down stairs and hugged her from behind kissing her neck as she laughed and swatted him away.

"Not while I'm cooking!" The girl laughed and nudged him away.

"Then you should stop cooking," He laughed and tried kissing her again, but she pushed him away and pointed to the kitchen counter.

"Sit down and behave," She winked at him.

"Alright, alright." He threw his hands up in defeat and took a seat. She continued making the blueberry pancakes he loved so much when she noticed him staring at her.

"What?" She turned around to face him.

"Nothing. You're just the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," He smiled.

She blushed and turned around. "Oh please. I bet you say that to all the girls."

"Only the ones I'm about to get married to," He laughed.

"Well fine then Mr. Flirt." She rolled her eyes and scooped the pancakes onto a plate. "Here you go my love," She glided over and placed the food in front of him. He eagerly began to chow down on the breakfast, talking about something that happened at the shop the week before. She hadn't listened to him. She was too busy admiring his beautiful black hair and gorgeous blue eyes.

She suddenly cut him off, "I want to get pregnant right away."

He looked at her in surprise, but it was quickly replaced by a big grin on his face, "We'll have to get started right away then." He leaned over and kissed her.

"Not right now! After the wedding," She pushed him away, laughing at his reaction.

He frowned at her, "How cruel. Turning on your fiancé and then rejecting him."

"Oh please you baby," she lightly hit his arm, "Now go get ready before you're late. I don't want your brother blaming me again for your tardiness."

"Fine, fine. Hey babe?" He called out to her before she returned to the stove.

"Yeeah?"

"I love you," He smiled at her.

"Love you too. Now get upstairs before I start undressing you myself!"

"Is that a promise?"

How had things turned out this way? How had her happiness, her everything been taken away in one single night? It wasn't fair. Life wasn't fair. She suddenly hated the world, hating even herself by not saving her only love. I'll find your murderer Yuji, and when I do, I'll make him pay for taking your life.

Inuyasha will FOR SURE be in the next chapter. I know, I miss him just as much as you. :( Review if you would like me to continue ;)
