With a furious moan, Kagome fell on Sesshoumaru’s bed. His eyes followed her form, his eyebrow curled in curiosity. The girl rolled on her back, pouting unhappily.
“It’s frustrating.”
“Hnn.”
“I mean a man is murdered and no one hears anything! How can people be so oblivious on their own surrounding?” Sesshoumaru shrugged.
“I’m wondering about that thing every single day.” He quickly caught a pillow that was thrown his way.
“You’re not helping.”
“At least we know that the victim knew his murderer and he was the one who let him in.”
“Perhaps Naraku was waiting for him?” suggested Kagome.
“Hnn,” the man nodded at the possibility. His eyes scooted back to the woman lying on his bed. She was teasing him once again; he wanted nothing more than to wring her neck for this. If he only could touch her that one time…
Thankfully, at this moment his watch started to beep. Sesshoumaru sighed in relief, standing up and quickly pulling his guest to her feet.
“Come we have classes.” The girl looked at him thoughtfully.
“Would we have time to grab a coffee?”
“I think so.” She beamed at his answer, promptly pushing him from the room.

The classroom was slowly filling with students, the noise raising as their number increased. Sesshoumaru opened door for Kagome who was carrying some late homework as well as her coffee.
“Aww, you’re such a gentleman!” she cooed sweetly, making him roll his eyes. He quickly let go of the door, successfully slamming them on some students face. They walked to their desk, a frown crossing Kagome’s face.
“What if someone lied?” she asked suddenly.
“We will figure it out, until then they’re our suspects.” Blue eyes turned to the front, where teacher was putting out his things.
“I’ll be back in a moment,” she mumbled, running to him.
“Good morning, Doctor Takeo.”
“Ah miss Higurashi, nice to see you too. You seem pale.”
“I’m just worried, you know about that accident with Naraku.”
“Indeed, such a horrible thing and I had watch in his dorm that day! I should have heard something, I should help…” the teacher bowed his head in shame. Kagome looked at him thoughtfully.
“It would be better if we dropped this subject. I brought my integral calculus project.”
Soon the girl came back, her lips in narrow line.
“What’s wrong?” Sesshoumaru asked.
“We have another suspect.”
AN: Try and guess who is that teacher?
