Anime: InuYasha/Death Note
Pairing: Kagome/Matsuda
Rating: M (Language, Adult Themes)
Summary:Matsuda was the underdog. That was how it was in the Police Station, and that's how it is at the KiraHeadquarters. Matsuda never had much luck and was always being laughed at for his slow responses to the apparent obvious. So it comes to a shock to him when the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen...crashes into him…literally. After taking care of his cars insurance and assuring the girl that he is indeed okay, he makes his way to theHeadquarters, unaware that he is being followed…by the very same girl…who only wants to make it up to him. L however seems to have other things in mind for this girl who learned the location of his Headquarters.
Devil's/Note: I really have no idea how the others will react to this, but I decided not to wait any longer to update this chapter. I won't be doing partner fics any longer since I find it fruitless to wait for a chapter that I can't personally keep track of. If they lose a chapter, I can't re-write it, whereas, if I lose a chapter, I memorize what I write and can copy it within seconds to minutes. I want to be able to update this story as frequently as I do other stories. If I leave this, it will not get finished. Please forgive me for the long wait. *Bows Apologetically*

Chapter Three
Those Who Glow
-x-x-x-
Kagome stared curiously at L who was staring just as curiously at her. "Mr. Ryuzaki-San...is something wrong?"
"..." He did not answer; sitting with his knees tucked beneath his chin, he continued to stare at her.
"I have a question!"
Everyone turned and looked to Misa who had finally come downstairs to join their group. She was standing in the doorway and glaring at Kagome.
"Your question, Miss. Amane?" L asked.
"Who is this new girl...and why is she so close to my Light!"
"..."
Kagome glanced to the seat beside L where Light sat. She'd been earlier introduced and was asked to stay by L. She was going to say no, but then...well, she thought it might be a good chance for her to talk with the one with the pretty glow. The one that this blonde girl spoke of though...had anything but a pretty glow. She didn't care at all about him. He meant nothing to her; he had a fading glow...
"Misa-Misa does not like her being so near her Light!"
L stared from the corner of his eyes at Kagome as she stared disdainfully at Light. "She isn't interested in Light...she likes Matsu..."
Kagome brightened at the name of the one with the pretty glow. Next thing she knew, the blonde girl, Misa, was hugging her tightly and smiling.
"Then that means we can be friends! I'll enjoy having another girl around!"
L finally looked up at Kagome who had been forced to stand by Misa. "Miss. Higurashi, tell me something. You are without family, friends, a home...and car..." He added the last bit as an after thought. "We have a room here that you can stay in for the time, if you would like."
"...no problem?"
"It would be no problem at all, I'm sure you'll prove to be helpful too."
Kagome smiled, "Alright,"
"Misa, the floor above yours, will be her room. Why not show her." It wasn't a question.
Misa hadn't caught on though and instead had just been happy to be of help to L. "You got it Ryuzaki!" She laughed as she pulled Kagome out of the room.

"Ryuzaki, what are you thinking?" Light asked as he watched the door close behind the girls.
"I'm thinking that this girl not only found Matsu on her own, she did it without any way of tracking him and in such a short amount of time, and she mentioned following a 'pretty glow'." L piled a couple cubes of sugar, one on top of another, "I'm thinking she's unique, and may prove useful later."
Matsuda frowned, "You plan on using her?"
"I plan on it, yes, but I will let her know when I have decided on doing so."
Nodding, Matsuda watched the screen curiously as Kagome appeared with Misa in the room above Misa's.
"And we are positive that she has no family?"
"Yeah,"
"What was that glowing?" Mr. Yagami asked as he stared at the girl on the monitor.
"Something that will aid us, if she dies, it will be hell for all of us."
Light frowned, looking at L; he turned his eyes to the monitor and gave a small glare at the girl with the ability to make her hands glow before returning to his innocent looking façade. "I understand what you are saying, Ryuzaki, but what if she doesn't want to help? On top of that, if she is discovered to be aiding us, wont that also put her in danger of being killed by Kira?"
"We will be sure to keep her hidden here, if we are the only ones to know of her being her and assisting us," L glanced to the left, catching Lights eyes as he continued, "then she should be safe from Kira, correct? Unless you think there is a leak within the headquarters that I should be made aware of, Yagami-San."
"...no, of course not, I was just voicing my concern for the girl."
"Oh, well if that is all, than please leave her to me and Matsu over here."
"E-eh?" Matsuda stared with wide eyes at L, "Me?"
"Obviously, she trusts you most out of all of us, you glow brightest, remember?"
Matsuda blushed, "Yeah,"
"You will be in charge of protecting her, you will be her bodyguard, I trust you can do this job?"
"Yes! Yes I can!" Matsuda cried out excitedly.
Rolling his eyes, L sighed, "Calm down, you aren't doing anything yet, I will talk with you and Miss. Higurashi together privately at a later date, for now, everyone needs to get back to work." L popped a sugar cube into his mouth as everyone nodded in agreement and got back to work.
