'No...this is...I can't believe it...Mail!'
She stared over the boy of thirteen who had just stepped in with Watari and someone else she hadn't really noticed. Her eyes traced over the figure of the boy with auburn red hair and dark green eyes hidden beneath orange tinted goggles. He was playing a game boy, and had yet to look up at her. He had a pair of ear phones hooked up to the game, so he no doubt just followed Watari, perhaps thinking that the other was called instead of him. He was dressed in a black and white striped long sleeve shirt and a pair of knee length jean shorts with socks and tinny shoes on.
'He...he hasn't changed a bit.' She took a step forward and moved to lift her hand.
"Kagome; this is Matt, or as you call him, Mail." L watched as her hand lowered slightly, her grip on the gun lowering so that it was no longer pointing him in the face. She was in a complete daze and didn't even notice him take her gun and place it on his desk with his thumb and index finger.
"Kagome...?"
She directed her still unblinking eyes to the boy next to her brother. This boy looked to be the same age, long shoulder length blonde hair and beautiful baby blue eyes; he was gorgeous, but paled in comparison to the person who had haunted for five years, in both her dreams and nightmares. Unlike her brother, he wore a long sleeved black sweat shirt and black sweat pants with black socks. She turned back to the other and moved a few steps forward as she lifted her hand, placing it gently on his cheek and causing him to jump and look up at her. His eyes widened and with teary eyes she smiled.
"H-hey, Mail..." Tears finally gave way and fell from her eyes.
"Who the hell is this!?"
Kagome ignored the blonde and watched as Mail slowly brought his hand to hers before dropping his game boy and pulling her into an embrace.
"...!"
Kagome looked at the shock on the blondes face as both the earphones and game fell with a clatter to the floor.
"Matt?" The boy called out in confusion.
"...Mello...th-this is...my little sister...K-Kagome."
Kagome could barely believe it, the feel of her shirt getting wet from tears she never saw her brother cry. Really, he never cried around her, this was a first for her; clearly, this was a first for the other boy too.
"MAILS~!" Her arms wound tightly around his shoulders where his own held tightly to her around her waist. "You're alive! I...I can't believe it, all this time...Mail..."
"Yeah, I guess I am alive...though I know I just died in that game," He looked at the game that lay with a now black screen.
"You can play it later...right now―"
"Miss. Jeevas...while I am glad that you found your brother, and the same goes for Matt finally seeing his sister again...you are wanted in America, Brazil and China for Murder, and if I am right to assume, you were the culprit behind the family hit in Japan...so you are also wanted there too..."
Kagome's face fell. "How...how did you know that?"
"You didn't do your research when they told you to kill me and Watari."
Matt and Mello stared at her in surprise as she pulled away from Matt/Mail and moved to stand in front of L. She got on one knee and untied her left combat boot before pulling it off and placing it next to her. "I had other things on my mind." She removed a Black British Commando Knife from beneath her black cargo pants, along with the black strap that had previously held it tight against her leg.
"Kags...?"
Mello walked up next to Matt and stared as his sister began discarding knives and guns, senbons and bullets onto L's desk.
"Huh?" Mello bent down and picked up her left boot before letting a surprised gasp out. "How the fuck do you walk in these!?"
Watari frowned, "Mello..."
Mello frowned but kept his eyes on the boot.
"Training, I was trained to walked in those, it also helps when you have to stand in trees or on roof tops."
"Mello, please hand me the boot." L said, taking the boot carefully when Mello handed it to him. He, Matt and Watari looked at it in surprise, though it was well hidden with L, the other two couldn't help but gape at the forty or fifty something needle thin razors that were scattered on the bottom of her boot.
"..." She sighed, "That's all, I only have four pens...OH!" She pulled a hair clip from her braid and placed it on his desk too.
"A hair clip?" Mello asked, Matt just stared in disbelief.
"Yeah, it has a two needles with poison tips; don't worry though, they are covered with a hard plastic. The needles can't hurt you if the plastic covers their points."
L stared over the collection of weapons, and had it been in his personality, he would have sighed in vexation.
Matt took a step back; his eyes could only stare in panic at what his baby sister had turn into. He turned and left before she could turn around.
"Matt!" Mello yelled out as he ran to the doorway and looked back to the girl who stared sadly at the floor. "..." He turned and followed after his gamer friend, leaving her in the presence of only L and Watari.
"Kagome...I must request that you stay here, where I can keep a watch over you."
"..." She frowned, 'Keep...watch over me?' Kagome turned to L, confusion laced her eyes. "I'm sorry?"
"...I don't believe..." L took a few sugar cubes and dropped them carefully, one on top of the other. "...that you were completely at fault for the murder of your victims..."
"..." She walked closer to L's desk and moved around to where he sat; she watched him take a few more sugar cubes and stack them similar to the others. "...I'm sorry..." She dropped before him and took his free hand that was on one of his knees. He turned with wide eyes to her and watched as she took his hand in hers and placed it against her forehead. "I do not know how you will fair in searching for my innocence. I myself do not see how I could possibly be blameless."
He stared at her, "I didn't say you would be guiltless...but you are not the only one to blame."
"I'm not sure I agree, but thank you." She stood, and then released his hand, "I have done many things I'm not proud of, and there is more than a slight chance that I will be put into a position where I will have to do horrible things again." She looked him in the eyes and smiled with tears unshed. "If that comes to pass, please kill me." She didn't wait for his answer as she turned and left in the direction that her brother and Mello had.
-x-x-x-
Kagome sighed, she had walked through the entire orphanage and still...no sign of Mail...or...Matt.
"Mm...Matt?" She called out, "M-Mello?"
"..."
She paused; she was in the common area now. She felt as if she was being watched, and so turning, slowly she looked around the room until her eyes met with charcoal gray orbs. They bore into hers as they seemingly looked into her very mind.
Kagome walked up to where a boy with messy and unruly white hair sat in white pajama's looking at her with impassive eyes.
"Hi..." Not that she wanted to go about making friends...but really, what else was there to do? She had lost both the other boys...so she would wait and hope that one would find her.
"Hello..."
She looked at the five hundred piece blank puzzle and smiled, "Would it be alright if I sat her with you?"
"...It's fine with Near..."
"So Near is your name?" She asked, sitting across from him as she watched him continue laying pieces down one after another without pause.
"It is...You're new?"
"Uh...I guess you could say that...M-Matt...is my older brother and...I came looking for him, found him...My name is Kagome."
"...Is that your real name?"
"It is...the only fake name I use is...actually, it's not important."
"..." He said nothing and the two sat in silence for about an hour, and they would have kept at it had Matt not come storming in with Mello behind him. He walked up to Kagome who was leaning against the wall, the serene silence calming her mind until a hand pulled her roughly from her spot.
"Come on,"
"But..."
"No buts'!"
Kagome blanched at the harsh tone as he pulled her from Near who sat staring at the two. Even Mello hadn't expected Matt to treat her that way.
"Mello..."
"Huh?" Mello turned, missing Kagome turn and wave to Near 'goodbye'. "What the hell do you want sheep boy?" He took a bite of his chocolate that was loosely gripped in his hand.
"Matt...seemed upset..."
"You would be too if you knew her occupation."
"I'm sure he has his reasons...but what I mean is...shouldn't you make sure he doesn't do something to his little sister that he may regret?" Near asked without interest as he turned back to his now finished puzzle, ignoring the look of surprise on Mello's face.
No doubt, Mello was stunned by the long statement and question that the normally silent and expressionless boy had taken him off guard with. Mello said nothing but left after Matt.
-x-x-x-
"Mail...?" Kagome felt his grip tighten around her wrist and winced. "M-Mail...you're hurting me." She felt him pull a little more until they stopped at a door and he entered before pulling her in and locking the door behind him. "Mm..." She stared uncertainly at her brother.
"I'm not sure what to say to you Kagome...you...you're a killer...!"
Her eyes widened and a painful ache hit her hard in the chest. "N-no...Mail...I did what I had to..."
"That's no excuse!"
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW!" She cried out, tears falling over her cheeks as she let gravity take it's toll on her body, her knees gave out as she fell down, but he still held her wrist tightly. "You can't possibly know what I went through!" Her whole body was shaking with anger, dread and pain. "H-he said you were killed...I just wanted to avenge my brother...I...I was trained to kill...because mom and dad were partners with Kazuma, we had to suffer!"
His eyes widened at that, so taken by her words, he hadn't expected the loud thump and bang on the other side of the door.
"MATT! LET ME IN DAMN IT!"
Matt stared at the door and sighed, releasing Kagome who sat on her knees on the floor crying and trembling. He opened the door enough to see Mello but not his sister.
"Let me in, I need to finish my fucking homework." He glared.
"..." Matt rolled his eyes but let Mello in none the less. No one wanted Mello to start a rant on his school work or ranking in the race to be L...so he wouldn't push it...
"What the hell did you do to her?" he asked, noting the red grip mark appearing around her wrist.
"Nothing, she's fine."
"...right..." He walked to his desk chair and started his work when a ringing could be heard.
Kagome's hand moved on its own accord as she pulled her cell from her pocket and flipped it open. "Hello...?"
"Is it done yet?"
"...no."
"How much longer?"
"...Sesshoumaru...I need to come back for something first before I can do this..."
Matt and Mello looked at her curiously.
"...You know..."
Tears still fell from her puffy red eyes as she closed them and let her head fall forward. "Know what?"
"...Kagome, I was the one who took care of you for those five years, don't think I can't tell when you are hiding something. I can get you in here...but you have limited time before you need to leave."
"How do you know I won't kill Kazuma?"
Matt's eyes widened.
"Because you are too smart for that. Get what you need then go. The organization will be clear of the majority of our members in three days around mid day...good luck."
The phone clicked off and she sighed..."Sesshou...thank you..." She whispered to herself.
"I can't take anymore of this tonight."
"..." Kagome watched her brother climb into bed and pull his goggles off. She looked at him for a moment before noticing that he was moving again. He moved over to the far left of his bed and she couldn't help but smile before pulling the four pens out of her pockets and placing them on Mello's desk where he picked one up curiously. She moved to Mail's bed and climbed in when he lifted his sheets and covers.
"Hey...Mello...be careful with those. There sharp."
His eyes widened as he stared the ruby red pen over in his hand. 'Sharp?!'
