Kagome sighed softly, her attention was drawn away from her friends and the conversation they held between one another, and was instead focused on the scenery outside of the cafe she was currently residing in. Her fingers tapped lightly on the glass surface of the table she was sitting at, showing her discomfort at her current surroundings. She wanted to leave, however she could not turn down her friends offer to go and get a cup of tea and pastries. She really did miss her friends, and this get together would give her a chance to catch up with them , and the current events that had happened since they had begun their college lives.

Turning her attention to her friends, she studied them carefully as they talked amongst themselves. Though they would all now be considered adults, she didn't feel as though there was a large change in them. They still liked the same things they had since entering middle school which was-Gossiping, Talking about boys, and other things that were usually the topic of young women. While she loved all them dearly, she always felt she lacked in their conversations. She wasn't excited to talk about such subjects, they never held her immediate interest, which left her feeling slightly left out.

It was hard for her to connect with her companions of this time, though she often did 'normal' things with them, such as-going shopping, watching movies, and looking at gossip magazines- Even though she did all of that, she always felt a large distance between them. She figured the reason for that was because of the time she spent in the feudal era, and the events she experienced there, which caused her to mature faster than normal teens of the twenty first century. Instead of malls and other places the youth liked to be in, she found comfort and joy from nature or places were she could find seclusion. Such as the Library, the park, or the shrine. If she was to be honest with herself she would have taken over the shrine duties than attend college, but due to her mothers 'hinting' she had agreed to go. To her surprise, she found it to be enjoyable, aside from the constant exams she had to take.

"Kagome"

The call of her name pulled her from her thoughts, glancing back at her companions she sheepishly as she noticed their looks. "Yes?" she questioned softly, while mentally scolded herself for being so distracted.

All three females sighed in synch with one another, use to their friends distracted nature, the one that had called her name before began speaking once more. "I asked you what you thought of Kira. Do you support him?" she questioned.

Kagome nibbled softly on her bottom lip as she thought over the question. The Topic of Kira seemed to be the hottest topic around, everyone was talking about it, even her mother and grandfather which meant that even she, who tended to live under a rock when it came to hot topics, knew about it. She had been asked this question a lot of time's lately, who she favored. L or Kira. She had many thoughts on the matter, on who she thought was in the right and who in the wrong, because of this her choice remained undecided.

"I don't know" she replied softly, when noticed her friends impatiently waiting for her reply. Sighing at their looks of disbelief, she continued. "I believe Kira's actions are done in good conscious, but hasn't he just become what he was fighting against? Killing blindly for any reason is not good." she finished.

Her friends all shrugged and nodded, as if expecting such an answer from her. She watched as they went back to conversing with one another, leaving her to her own thoughts and out of the conversation. Shaking her head in amusement, Kagome turned her attention away from her friends and back to the world outside. She watched carefully as the people who walked by the cafe window, seemed unaffected by the deaths happening in the world, she figured such behavior was normal. In this time, if something happened that did not involve nor effect them, a person was most likely to just ignore it and continue living their lives.

She frowned as she leaned back into the chair she was sitting in, her back was beginning to hurt from sitting in one place for such a long period of time. Glancing towards her companions, a soft sigh escaped her lips. She didn't want to seem rude, to want to leave so quickly, but she just couldn't stay in one place-especially a crowded place for so long without anxiety beginning to form.

Her line of thought of was interrupted as her back stiffened, a sudden chill overwhelmed her as she felt a powerful presence nearby. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to locate the source of her sudden discomfort, Glancing around the cafe she searched for the being that may hold the aura, finding no one, she turned her attention to outside the window once more. Her eyes widened as she found the source of her discomfort walking, or floating, towards the cafe she was in.

Her brow furrowed as she watched the being, as it followed closely behind three humans. Feeling her curiosity get the better of her and knowing she would not be able to rest until she figured out what was going on Kagome rose from her seat. Apologizing quickly to her friends, she excused herself and left the cafe in a hurry.

Once outside she quickly began to trail after the being and the three humans he was with. Her frown deepened as she followed after them-They didn't seem to be up to anything suspicious. Kagome sighed in relief when she noticed the being and the trio stop, feeling her legs begin to feel heavy she hid behind a nearby hedge to observe them closely as they rested.

Two of the humans were recognizable to her, the female was Misa Misa- an idol she only knew about because her brother 'loved' her. She scoffed softly at that thought, people these days used the term love to loosely. Shaking her head to clear her wandering thoughts, Kagome continued to observe the trio. The other person she recognized, was a male that went to her school. She couldn't recall his name, she only knew that he was one of the top students at her school.

The other person, who seemed to be male, she did not recognize. He seemed odd when one compared him to his companions, however the main reason for that thought, may have been due to the mask that covered his face. Although this male was strange-physically-that did not explain why that thing was following them.

Her brow furrowed as she noticed the absence of the thing that had caught her attention to the trio in the first place. Where did it go? She questioned mentally as a frown came to her lips. Kagome gasped and jumped in surprise when a deep cackle sounded from behind her. Turning quickly to face the being that was behind her, she cringed as she noticed the appearance of the being up close. She tried hard not to judge others on their appearance, no matter what creature they may be, with this creature however she could not help her natural reaction. It wasn't exactly physically appealing, actually this creatures appearance was down right frightening. Do all death gods look this way?

Mentally shaking her head to clear the thought away, Kagome narrowed her gaze as she met the gaze of the death god. Frowning, she decided to ask the creature the question that had been bothering her since seeing it. "Death god" she addressed, once sure she held it's attention, she continued. "What are you doing here? It is to my understand that your kind is not allowed to wander on earth" Her question, while spoken in a stern manner, was also spoken in barely a whisper-so those around her would not think she was crazy.

The death god brought it's head back as it released a loud laugh. Kagome's brow furrowed at the display but patiently waited for the creature to finish so she could receive her answer. She didn't have to wait long, for soon the creature stopped in it's laughing fit, it then showed a wide smile, making it's long and unnaturally sharp teeth evident. "Now Now Miko, Calm yourself! I am just here for business" It replied, a light tease to it's tone.

Kagome's eyes narrowed as she thought over the answer, she knew that death gods-like any gods- were to be respected. However, there were a few who lived to cause mischief. She had a feeling that this one was the type to do so. Shaking her head softly, she sighed softly. "Right" she replied lightly with a slight roll of her eyes, not bothering to hide her disbelief in the death gods answer.

The death god cackled once more "Oh, what's this?" it questioned with mocking curiosity "Not only a miko, but a miko with attitude!" He exclaimed, going into another laughing fit-as though he had just told the best joke in the history of jokes.

Kagome clenched her jaw as she tried to hold in her temper, for some reason this death god rubbed her the wrong way. As she tried to hold in her temper, she was startled as something that felt like hand landed on her shoulder. Stiffening, Kagome turned to face the person quickly-completely forgetting the death god she had previously been conversing with. Her eye's widened as she noticed the three people she was previously studying, and who the death god had been following, now standing before here. All were looking at her curiously and with slight suspension.

Kagome mentally scolded herself for being so careless and not paying attention to her surroundings, one would think that after spending so much time in the past paying attention to my surroundings would be a natural habit. Putting on her best friendly smile, she met each gaze. Before she could greet them, one of the males beat her to it. His face serious he looked her over critically "Why have you been following me?" He questioned sternly.

Chuckling nervously Kagome's eyes darted to the left as she tried to think of an excuse she could give to the male. She couldn't say 'I saw a shinigami following you around town so I decided to follow. That would clearly get her placed into a mental institution. Caught up in her thoughts, Kagome was caught off guard when a pale face with large black eyes entered her version and she noted that this person's face was only a few inches away from her own.

Frowning, her brow furrowed as she took a step back and glanced over the person. A quick glance towards the mask resting on the side of the man's face-showed that this male was the one she could not identify earlier. His intense gaze made her feel unnerved, but she ignored that feeling to continue her observation on the male.

He seemed to be tall, yet his height was reduced by his hunched posture. He was lean, though it was hard to tell through his wrinkled and baggy clothing-and had black hair that was styled disheveled fashion. His whole appearance made her think of someone that had merely rolled out of bed and decided to go out in that way. Something about this male seemed very familiar, perhaps it was his large darkened eyes? She shook her head, she hadn't a clue as to why this male felt familiar, she had never met him before. Or at least not that I can remember.

Kagome was pulled from her thoughts when the male before her spoke for the first time. "Kagome..."

To say she was surprised would be an understatement. How did he know her name? Her guard rising, she met the male's gaze with narrowed and suspicious eyes. They held a starting contest with one another for a few moments, and something within Kagome stirred-memories of her child hood flashed in her mind and her eyes widened in recognition. "Ah-" she stared, seeing the look he had given her and a quick glance to the two behind him she decided to use the name he generally used in public-or for people he did not completely know or feel safe with. "Ryuzaki".

He smirked "Hello Kagome-it has been a long time since I last saw you"

A wide smile came to Kagome's lips, he still seemed the same personality wise, even if he had changed physically. "Indeed, it has" she replied. It had been a long time since they had seen one another, though they had known each other for a long time-ten years, give or take. He had come to stay with her family when she was a child, for a learning program or something, even though they were close in age-she remembered that he had always been quiet, polite and very intelligent.

They had quickly bonded with one another and became best of friends. They spent every moment they could together that her mother had often joked that they should just clue themselves together-that it wouldn't make much of a difference. After he had left, she often wish they had glued themselves together. That way, he couldn't have left or at least she could have gone with him. The day he left was the day her heart and broken for the first time. Sadly she had lost contact with him after he left, it surprised her that he had remembered her so quickly.

"Ryuzaki-how do you know her?"

The question made her remember that they weren't alone, glancing towards the other male-she was glad that he had seemed to forget his earlier question towards her. Turning towards Ryuzaki she waited for his reply to his companion, though she was sure he wouldn't give them much of one. A small smirk came to his lips as he shrugged his shoulders "She is a childhood friend" he replied simply.

The male and Misa Misa did not seem satisfied with Ryuzaki's answer and seemed to want to press for more, though she was sure he saw it. Ryuzaki did not seem to care and instead he once again focused on her person. Kagome blushed lightly under his gaze and waited impatiently for him to do or say something. Finally his head titled slightly to the side "You look good, considering how much you had been sick during your middle school days" he stated softly.

"Y-Yeah" Kagome replied nervously, surprised that he had known about her 'Illness' in school she looked him over curiously. "How did you know that?" she questioned. Wondering what else her old companion may know about her.

He shrugged "I keep track of those who are important to me"

She felt her face flush at his response. Clearing her throat softly, Kagome made an attempt to change the subject in hopes of getting her blush down or at the very least to draw attention away from it. "W-What are you doing here?I thought you left the country?"

He nodded his head, his thumb coming to rest on his lips as he hummed softly. "Yes I did, However I came here for business..for the Kira case." His reply was soft, quiet enough so that she and the two people he had in his company could hear, but no one else would be able to.

The other male huffed and glared at her as he came to stand beside Ryuzaki "What are you doing? Why are you telling her about the case- didn't you say that it should not be spoken to strangers?" He stated in a harsh tone.

Kagome frown at the males unspoken accusation that she could not be trusted, glancing back at the death god-who had been unnaturally quiet since the three humans had come to confront her. Her frown deepened as her mind reeled in thought. She knew that death god's used notebooks, which when a name was written inside it, could cause the death of that person. Is that what the death god had meant in his words earlier? That he had given it to a human? She knew the death god had to stay near it's notebook. Eyes widening in recognition, she glanced at the male who was scolding her friend and the female who stood behind him.

If the death god was following this group so closely it meant that one of them had to have his notebook. It couldn't be Ryuzaki, he would never do such a thing. Which left to suspects in her mind-one of the those two people held the notebook-which made one of them Kira.

Kagome was pulled from her thoughts when Ryuzaki finally replied to his companion's words. "Don't worry Light,Kagome can be trusted" he turned his attention towards her, a soft smile coming to his lips he continued to speak, this time to her instead of his companion. "Actually Kagome, I was wondering If you would like to join the investigation?"

Before Kagome got a change to answer his companion, now known as Light, made a sound of outrage. "You can't be serious! She's just a regular college student, what could she do to help our investigation?"he questioned with a huff.

Kagome glared at Light, the male was beginning to get under her skin. She turned toward Ryuzaki when a soft chuckle escaped his lips "Don't worry Light, I know she will be a good addition. Kagome is...special. She can see things that many can not" he replied softly as he glanced at Kagome.

Kagome wondered momentarily how much Ryuzaki knew about her, shrugging off that thought she smirked at the dumbfounded expressions both Light and Misa Misa had. She met Ryuzaki's gaze and her smirk widened into a smile. "I'd love to help you, where can we start?" she questioned.

She was looking forward to working together with her childhood friend, she was hoping they could pick up where they left off in their relationship. Her gaze shifted to Misa Misa and Light, a devious smile coming to her lips as she thought of the bonus that would come with working on this case. That bonus would be to find which of these two were Kira, hopefully with the help of Ryuzaki she would be able to knock this 'Light' off his high horse.

Yes She thought This is going to be fun.


A/N: This will be a two-shot, the next part will be posted either later tonight or tomorrow night. I know that 'Ryuzaki' is not L's real name. Kagome will use his real name when they talk to one another in private-but will use his fake name around Light and others. Hope you enjoy, I apologize for any grammar/spelling errors. Review please!
