Thanks for the reviews. But somehow, I get a feeling that some of you aren't reviewing…

Not to be rude but, I do not update unless I get my fair share of reviews.

Despite how sucky the chapters are. :P

Ok, Im kidding about the last part.

Chapter 3-

Raito looked around the place as he and Kagome climbed out of the well. Trees. There were a lot of trees all about the place.

"I suppose that Inuyasha person you mentioned will come here soon?" Light inquired Kagome, "You said he had a heightened sense of scent and hearing right?"

The girl meekly nodded her head. She didn't know what to say. Here was Kira, her cousin, who could kill her simply by writing her name down. At first, she didn't believe him when he said he was Kira, but when he switched on the TV and killed a criminal…

He said he wanted to create a utopia. A new world without evil where he would rule as God. He said he would eliminate all people who committed crimes, wiping them off the face of Earth. Kagome was shocked and scared. Not about herself, as if he had to, Raito would have killed her a long time back.

She was scared for Inuyasha. She didn't think Sango and Miroku were in any danger. After all, they never attacked villages to run away with the Shikon-no-Tama and in return, get pinned to a tree and be sealed for fifty years!

And she was shocked because………never mind.

But anyway, she felt more and more stupid as time passed. How many things had she messed up that day? The answer was many. Mistaking a Shinigami for a youkai, and openly telling Kira about Inuyasha. The first mistake and fine, but the second had brought her heart up to her throat.

As if reading her thoughts, the boy in front of her said, "You can breathe Kagome. I have no interest in killing Inuyasha."

Relief hit Kagome so hard that she actually stumbled and had to hold the brim of the well for support. He wasn't going to kill Inuyasha. Her heart finally began beating once again. Behind them, Ryuk laughed. It was funny how the girl tried to regain her balance.

"I-Inuyasha will be here any minute. He would have p-picked up our scent long back. Let's walk ahead o-ok?" Her voice was still shaking. In fact, from the minute the boy had told her that he was Kira, from the minute he had proved it, the girl was pale.

"Hai."

They began walking forward when,

"Get away from her!" Inuyasha suddenly rushed into the scene with his claws ready to slash Raito into pieces. However, Kagome acted fast.

"Inuyasha sit!"

The dog demon fell to the ground face flat. Raito smirked. So this was Inuyasha. The boy was thankful to Kagome. If she hadn't…'sat' him, he would have probably been dead by now. He had seen the ferocity in the demon's (or half demon's, as Kagome told him) eyes when he launched himself at him. And those claws of his weren't any blunt.

"What do you think you're doing!", Kagome shouted at him. Her face was pale. Raito could practically feel the fear radiating right off her. Why was she always so scared?

Inuyasha sat up and spat the dirt that had been shoved into his mouth. "Oi wench! What do you think you're doing! I was protecting you from him! And I mean the guy, not the Shinigami!"

"There was no need of doing that, he's family! By the way,Inuyasha, this is my cousin, Raito and his Shinigami Ryuk. Guys, this is Inuyasha."

Raito simply looked at the boy with a smile on his face while Ryuk waved and said hi.

"If he's your cousin, why on Earth are you so scared of him? I smelled it all the way in Kaede's hut. And you were so scared at one time, I thought he was killing you or something! Even now…Kagome, are you okay?"

The dog demon actually got worried now. He had never seen Kagome so pale before. Turning to Raito he growled, "You. What have you done to her?"

Raito replied that he didn't know what happened to her. He really didn't actually. From what all he knew about her, she was never the type to get this scared. His cousin was now beginning to worry him too.

She didn't need re-assurance. Raito was sure of that. She believed him when he said he wouldn't kill Inuyasha. But yet, her eyes held that oh so familiar terror that Raito had seen many times in the past few hours. Also, her face was deathly pale.The brown haired boy gently shook her by the shoulders and said, worry now glazing his eyes. "Kagome, are you okay?"

The girl simply looked at him and said, "Lets walk. I think you want to see the others right?"

Both Raito and Inuyasha blinked. Just what had happened to her?

Not minding that, they walked. Inuyasha had offered Kagome a lift but she said she wanted to walk. The dog demon knew that Raito had done nothing to the girl. He had got that drilled into his head when Kagome had used the prayer beads. But the way her fear increased when he tried to kill the boy was remarkable.

They continued walking, Inuyasha's face twisted in confusion as he tried figuring out what was wrong with the girl in front of him. Thinking this deeply wasn't what he usually did. He hated to figure out things. It was annoying.

Suddenly, Raito decided to break the silence.

"Do you know anyone here with the name L?"

Kagome replied without turning to look at him, "…No. But isn't L the alias of that detective?"

Inuyasha joined in the conversation. "Is this about that Kira case you told us about?"

"Hai."

"Feh. That guy is right in what he's doing you know. Jerks who harm other humans for their own benefit deserve to die."

Raito smiled slightly. Here was someone who shared the same opinion as him. The brunet instantly began liking Inuyasha more.

"Kagome, at least tell me what's wrong. How can we help you if you're not gonna tell us!"

"Inuyasha, do you still love Kikyo?"

"Feh. Now why would you want to know that?"

"…forget I said that."

And then Inuyasha caught it. Kagome had only shown that emotion for a few seconds but the time was enough for him to figure it out. So that was why she was in a shocked mood.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Kagome and Inuyasha brought in the stuff. Apparantly, Kaede had asked them to do her a favor. Apart form Inuyasha and Kagome, no one saw Raito since he didn't even step into the hut. But Kagome told the others about him anyway. Raito had gone for a walk, claiming that he had come here for a reason and would be back in a few hours. He had left as soon as he knew that Kagome would be in Kaede's hut. The boy just needed to know the location to come back to when it was time for them to leave.

Coming back to the present, Inuyasha and Kagome were carrying supplies for Kaede. Since there wasn't anyone else here at the moment, the hanyou found the time perfect for him to voice out the question.

"Oi Kagome, you love him don't you? That cousin of yours."

"What?! No way! Inuyasha, whatever made you think that?"

"Feh. Don't bother lying wench. You can't fool my nose! I could smell it all over you back then. Al though, I don't understand why you were so shocked over the fact."

"Fine. I admit it. I like him. But don't tell anyone ok? Not even Miroku or Sango. Please Inuyasha?"

"I won't. But in return, you have to tell me why you were so scared back then."

"Maybe later? Im sorry. I just don't want to talk about it right now."

"Feh. Fine."

'I'm sorry Inuyasha. But I really don't want to think about it. I don't understand why the person I fell in love with turned out to be Kira.'
