NOTE: I HAVE NEVER SEEN DEATH NOTE! Now...with that said, I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT DEATH NOTE! I am lying, but I still would like to see how good I am at writing a crossover with an Anime I haven't seen. I have only seen the Live Action movie, the first one. Ken-ichi Matsuyama-Sama is so COOL!!!! A.K.A: L, from the real life movie and Gelus (Jealous) in the Anime.
Anyways, please do keep in mind that I will not write what I have no faith in with the ending out come. I promise that it will be worth the time to read. Please enjoy. ^_^''

I See You...
Rai Slade...the name she had at one time gone by...now...Rai...Higurashi...her maiden name. She remembered the events that took place only six years ago, give or take a few months. She blinked back tears as she watched her little girl slide beneath her bed and down the hidden steps beneath it. Her baby girl...would be turning ten next month...and Rai was going to miss it...
"Be safe..." She whispered right before a foot made contact with her head, successfully knocking her out cold.
-Dreamscape-Flashback-
Rai stood in the kitchen with her four year old...a whisk in her hand as she made homemade strawberry flavored fruit dip. She listened to the sound of a chair being dragged across her kitchen floor. She turned in time to see her daughter reaching for a strawberry from the carton across from her. The door slammed open causing both to jump and her daughter to almost fall.
"Kagome!" She cried out as her daughter descended to the hard tile floor. Arms wrapped around Kagome and lifted her onto the counter next to the strawberry carton.
"Sorry Berry." Kagome smiled at her nickname given to her by her father.
"Hehe...Papa!!! Up, up, hehe." Rai sighed as she watched her husband pick Kagome up and toss her in the air a bit before setting her back down to eat her strawberries.
"Silas..." She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. "Dear you scared me."
"Forgive me, Rai, you need to pack and get ready to leave."
"What? Where are we going? We have seen all of the sites in England, what else do we have to look at?"
"No, not what I mean. Take Kagome and leave the country. You're not safe here."
"Wh-what are you talking about?"
"Everybody that has Slade blood in them is being hunted down..." He glanced at Kagome who was dipping her fingers in the strawberry dip.
"But-"
"No buts Rai...do this for me...for Kagome...I love you both so much, I can't lose you. You must live." Rai closed her eyes momentarily before opening them and running upstairs to pack...
-End-Dreamscape-Flashback-
-x-x-x-
Kagome hated herself right now as she ran through the underground shaft beneath her bed and beneath the forest that surrounded her home. She heard the hard stepping of footsteps behind her.
"Mom...I'm so sorry..." Tears streaked her cheeks as she ran like her mother had told her. She had a knife held in her hand tightly if needed and it most likely would be.
"Girly, Girly!!!"
The gusty voice of her pursuer called out as he stopped to catch is breath.
"Damn brat, I won't hurt you!"
'Do I look stupid?!' Kagome thought, somewhat insulted that he thought she would fall for something like that. So lost in her thoughts she didn't notice the ladder in front of her.
"Ouch!" She stood up and quickly climbed up, hitting the roof of the top of the shaft, opening it and climbing out. She started to run again until she saw a large tree. She looked around and climbed into a tree close to it but not close enough to be seen in.
She watched from the leaves as the burly man finally caught up and looked into the large tree she had decided against climbing.
"Come out girly, I know you're around here somewhere!" He pulled his gun out and shot two bullets into the leaves of the large tree before glancing at the other trees. He shot one bullet in a tree three stumps away from her.
'Great...a strong guy that has a brain...that sucks...' She thought to herself as he shot another bullet into a tree even closer then the previous one. He walked closer to her tree and she closed her eyes in dear when suddenly...
-SNAP-
They both turned and stared at a baby fawn. She smirked and jumped from the tree with her knife in hand and watched as he seemed to turn in slow motion. He dropped the gun in shock and brought his hand up to grasp her knife which he maneuvered to point at her.
'NO!!!'
"AHH!!!" She cried out as the knife was dragged across her arm in a deep gash. She felt herself start to go num from the pain as she stared coldly at the man smirking at her.
"Aw, I hurt the girly. Hahahah-huh?"
He watched as her glare turned to a smirk of her own. She rammed the knife further into her arm, ignoring the severe pain that ran throughout her body. He let go out of surprise and she pulled the blade from her arm before walking towards the man...watching him stumble backwards. She placed the blade in what seemed like a slow motion...up against the man's neck, a line of blood formed against his skin...though...not his blood...hers...
"What...no...No...NO!!!" She wanted to laugh at this man. He had the nerve to try and stop her from running this blade through his cold and lifeless heart while he merely minutes ago...had tried to do the same thing to her. She looked down and stared at something that had fallen out of his pocket. She picked it up and opened what she had realized was his wallet.
"You look scared...Gordon Mathews..." She flipped it so she could see the picture on the other side...a little girl was held in his arms with a nice looking woman next to them. She closed her eyes before opening them and turning to walk away.
"Go...I don't care...but in return...I'm dead to you...and them..." He stared in surprise but nodded none the less when she tossed him his wallet back.
She still clutched the knife tightly in her and as she walked further and further into the forest. She stopped at the sight of a shed and leaned against the wooden walls. Letting her eyes drift close eyes the stress of the day finally crashed down on her.
-Dreamscape-Flashback-
...Kagome watched as her mother ran upstairs and her father walked over closer to her.
"Hey Berry..." Kagome tilted her head a bit as she chewed on her strawberry.
"Papa has to go away and...I won't be coming back..." Her eyes widened and she dropped her strawberry as she latched herself onto her father.
"Papa! No go Papa! No go!!"
"Ah, Berry...my little Berry. You be a good little girl...okay. Mommy will still be there for you. Papa will be watching you from afar..."
"Pwomise you watch ova Berry." She said as her eyes started watering.
"I promise I will watch over Berry...nothing will stop me from protecting my little girl." She nodded and watched as he removed the chain from his neck and placed it around hers. At the end was a bullet...
"Papa..."
"I will protect you." She smiled and watched the door open as her mother came in with three bags and two suitcases, a big box behind her.
"Help me get this stuff in the car." Silas nodded and placed Kagome on the floor before helping his wife move the luggage into the car. Kagome grabbed a box and started packing it with cartons of strawberries. She grabbed the lid for the bowl with the strawberry dip before closing it up and placing it with the strawberries. She fingered the bullet and smiled.
'Papa always keeps his promises.' She took one of the cartons from the box and waited for her dad or mom to come get her. She didn't have to wait long.
"Come on Berry, time to go." Silas picked her up and her mother grabbed the box. He carried her to the car and placed her in the back, kissing her forehead before shutting the door. He kissed Rai on the lips in a finale sweet kiss before watching them drive away.
Kagome stared out the window until her father was out of sight before letting her tears fall as she silently cried...

"-as cops investigate the missing child of Rai Higurashi who was found dead after what police claim to be assault. We will find out more after police come out. Now back to-"
'Rai...'
"Watari...you look stressed. Did you know her?"
"Hm? Don't you remember L?"
The boy with messy black hair looked back at the TV tat was now muted, a picture of a woman with short shoulder length black and brown eyes appeared in a small square in the corner of the screen.
"...She looks familiar..."
"Well, you were only three at the time...it's been...11 years since you last saw her...Hm, she went by...Ah...she went by Sakura."
"THAT'S KURA!!!" L leaned forward a bit as he took in the older figure of the 19 year old that he used to follow by way of pants. His charcoal grey eyes held a sad look to them at the thought of her dead. He jumped off of the chair from his earlier position with his feet pulled to his chest.
"It said they were looking for her daughter. Let's go."
"Huh? Do you mean you want to bring this girl here?"
"That is what I implied." L said before walking out of the room. His thought's wandering off to when he was younger.
-Flashback-
A young woman with shoulder length black hair and brown eyes walked quietly and gracefully through the halls. She had been on her way to Rodger's office earlier no doubt, but the child who had both his arms an legs wrapped around her left leg didn't seem to care.
"L, you need to let go." The child, L, shook his head no, the stick of a grape flavored sucker was visible and his charcoal grey eyes stared up at her.
She wore a black, silver and green kimono top and figure fitting light faded blue jeans with black flip-flops on her feet.
"Kuwa mine." She sighed but smiled none the less as she continued walking. She made her way into Rodger's office and sat down. He let go of her leg and climbed into her lap, his knees pulled into his chest as he sucked on his sucker.
"I see L found you." She looked up and saw Watari was in the office too.
"I think he has his own Kura radar."
The older man smiled as Roger handed her a file.
"My next case?" He nodded.
She read over it and L watched her quietly.
"So I'm going undercover as a simple-minded girl at a club where a mob will be meeting. I have to get close to a man named...Silas Slade...Slade? Isn't that one of the names on cops most wanted?" Watari nodded.
"Hmm...Alright then...I will pack...what's my story?"
"First, get a job there, as a bartender if you must. He meet's there with his gang every Saturday. You need to get close, become an insider...your story. You were living with your parents not to long ago when you ran away because of a family fight with your step father that resulted in your mother's death. Now, you live on your own and your father is in prison for 15 years to life. You need to be careful. Your name...Keela Weise, 20 years old...red hair...brown eyes...rides a motorcycle... Hope you enjoy your new Alias." Roger told her as he pulled out a set of keys, hair dye and a passport with a license as well.
"What kind of motorcycle?"
"Kawasaki Ninja in black with cherry blossoms fading across the tank and into the back, I hope you like it." Watari said with a smile.
"..."
"Sakura?"
L looked up to see a goofy grin on her face at the mention of motorcycle brand.
"Kuwa's happy." Watari nodded in agreement with the small child. Neither were aware that...this would be the last mission she did for them...as this was the mission that would let her start a new life with her own family...neither were aware that she would fall in love...with her mission.
