Kagome's eyes shot open once she realized what she was doing and pulled away. "I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't of done that." Ryuzaki looked at her closely. He couldn't help but notice how her eyes were getting glossy. "There's no harm done. No need to worry yourself over little things." She violently shook her head, tears begining to pool.

"No, you don't understand. If InuYasha tells Sesshomaru what I told him...I don't even want to think about it. I'm sorry, it's a lot for you to take in in one night."

"You do know how great my IQ is, correct?" She let out a small chuckle and smile, then wiped her eyes. "You're such a show off." Ryuzaki wrapped his arms around Kagome's shoulders and silently breathed in her scent of lavender. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and inwardly growled. "If you'll excuse me." He muttered before getting up and going in the living room. He saw the name of the person calling him, and felt his heart stop beating for a fraction of a second. Of course, he couldn't just hang up on him or not take the call, so he answered.

"It's been a while." The voice on the other side of the line giggled. The voice that sounded very much like his, only British.

"What do you want now?" Was all Ryuzaki spat at the man he spoke to.

"Now? I don't recall ever wanting anything from you before."

"Not the point. Just tell me what's wrong so I can go."

The man laughed. "I know. You can't keep your girlfriend alone now can you, Lawliet?"

"It's Ryuzaki." He was getting mad. No, not mad. Mad wasn't a good enough word for his emotion. More like extremely, over the top, terrifyingly, pissed off. Yeah, that was the better phrase. "Alright, alright. But, I would check on her if I were you." Ryuzaki dashed to his room to see if Kagome was alright. Of course when he bolted the door open, it scared Kagome half to death.

"RYUZAKI! What the hell?" Ryuzaki looked at her apologetically. "Forgive me, I was worried." She saw the look in his eyes, which was hard to come across. Kagome could never find any source of emotion in his black eyes, it was nearly impossible. Just not now, this was the nearly part. And in his wide eyes she could easily read the look of fear and hatred. Shutting off the t.v. and flipping on the lights, she walked to Ryuzaki with her head tilted.

"What's wrong Ryuzaki?" He shook his head and waved her off. When he was turning to go back in the living room she caught his shoulder. "Ryuzaki, give me the phone."

She said softly. His mouth had dropped. She couldn't talk to this man, this criminal, this murderer. She held out her hand, and he had no choice but to give it to her.

Kagome nodded and motioned him to sit on the bed.

"Who is this?" She said unsure of fher plan. The man cackled.

"Why so afraid? You don't know who I am, you don't know who the threat is, you don't know if you should call the cops, but that's another story. If you're so curious about my name, why don't you ask L, dear?" He said mockingly. She looked over to Ryuzaki, who shook his head.

"He's not telling me." She told the stranger. "I didn't hear you ask him." Was all he implied.

"Ryuzaki, what's this guy's name?" He shook his head again. "You have to tell me. He's not talking." The man sighed,

"Oh well. Guess you'll never know now will you? Give L the phone." Kagome was begining to get irritated. Why won't this guy give me his name? Am I suppose to guess?

"You're name wouldn't happen to be Ramplestiltskein would it?" Mr. Strange scoffed then laughed.

"Such an educated guess Kagome. Now give L the phone." She snapped at him. "No! Not until you give me your name!" She heard him sigh again only to meet a dial tone.

"That jerk hung up on me!" She gave him the phone and heard him tiredly reply. "He's going to call again later today. We should get some sleep if you're that determined to know who he is." She took a seat next to him and felt his forehead. "Are you okay?"

Kagome felt him tremble under her touch. "Honestly, no. I'm not. That man grew up in the same styles as I did. He's convinced that he's my copy, and he looks like my clone. But his goal is to be the world's greatest criminal, since I'm the world's greatest detective." She hugged him close. "He's a mad man Kagome. I don't want him to hurt you." Kagome began stroking his hair soothingly.

"No one's going to hurt me Ryuzaki. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself. There is one thing I want to know however." He looked at her, hoping and praying she wouldn't ask the question he thought she would. "What is it?" Her stare was stiff and serious. "Why won't you tell me his name?" Ryuzaki sighed heavily and removed her arms from his body. "It's for your own safety. I'm guessing he already knows your name?"

"Yeah. What's up with that? Wait a second..." Her thoughts went at a hundred miles a minute. "What if he's watching us right now? He could be watching us with cameras or personally. Ryuzaki, he could be in the suite right now." He just smiled and shut his eyes. "I wouldn't be surprised if he is. He is, after all, my polar opposite."

They heard cackling coming from the bathroom. Kagome ran to investigate while Ryuzaki stayed on the bed, trying to keep calm. He knew his name, he knew his life span, more importantly he knew Kagome was with him.

Ryuzaki got up and reached the destination on the insane laughter and saw that Kagome had managed to get his gun. "Alright creetin, come on out!" All she got was a little giggle, but she immediately pointed the gun's barrel at it. Kagome was itching to pull the trigger but she knew better then that. "I'll shoot you, I know where you are."

"Are you sure about that? I am able to shoot you from my position Ms. Higurashi." Ryuzaki gasped, Kagome shut her eyes. No, I'm not going to die by the hands of a man whose face I've never seen. By a man whose name I don't even know.

"I'm not going to die until Kira's been caught and put away for good. And I'm certainly not going to die by your hands, a man I've never seen before, a man I don't even know the name of. How repulsive." Stiffled fits of chuckles were heard. "Repulsive you say? That's a rather big word coming from such a tiny girl."

The finger on the trigger tightened. Before she could pull it, Ryuzaki spoke up. "Just come out. She won't shoot you, I won't shoot you, and you won't be shooting anyone either. Deal?" There was silence for a moment. Ah bliss. Kagome thought. "Well, do we have a deal or don't we?" She asked. Not surprisingly, she heard a sigh from somewhere. "I'm thinking. But I've got such an advantadge from here. Very well then, I'll come out but, Miss Irrational there has to put the gun away. I don't trust her with it."

"Kagome please give me the gun." Ryuzaki pleaded. She took one look at the gun before giving it to him reluctantly. He went to put it away but once he was out the door, Kagome was locked in the bathroom. "Hey! That's not fair! Ryuzaki!" She pounded on the door and before she could scream she was grabbed from the throat. "What the hell are you doing? I thought we had a deal." He tisked her as if she'd made a mistake.

"Somewhat. L and I had a deal, not you and I." She felt the grip go from her throat to her waist and she stiffened. "So what are you gonna do, shoot me?"

"Well that was my intention but since you're numbers are higher and I promised L I wouldn't shoot anyone..." Kagome heard a loud metal clank as he threw his gun on the floor. "Though he never said anything about slitting throats, mutilation, or any other form of injury. No guns, and that was it." He put something ice cold on her throat which she could only assume was a knife or switchblade. "Please don't do this." She begged. "I'll call him. I'll scream if I have to." Was her threat.

Of course, there was a hand over her mouth now. Figures. He wasn't lying when he called me Ms. Irrational. "How about I make a deal with you then?" He told her.

Her pupils darted to the left, figuring she'd at least be able to see his messy hair. It looks like Ryuzaki's hair. Wait, he did say this guy was obsessed with him, his copy.

"I won't kill you, if you tell me who Kira is, and where I can find him. Both of them actually." She clenched her teeth, she didn't know who the Second Kira was. Would he still kill her if she just gave him Light's location? The hand was removed from her mouth and the knife was pressed closer. "No screaming."

"Right no screaming. I only know who the First Kira is. I'm not aware of who the Second Kira may be or where you might possibly be able to find her."

"Her? You know the Kira Copy is a girl yet you don't know who she is?" She wanted to slap this guy but that could result in her death, plus the fact her arms were hanging down to her waist that was being held by the killer. "The original told me that the second was a girl. I only guessed that she was his girlfriend." Kagome let ehr body relax for whatever he was planning to do.

"Who exactly is the First Kira? Show me." She gulped heavily. Can I trust this guy? How do I know he's not in alliance with Light? "The First Kira...the First Kira's Light Yagami, ok? He's in this building a few rooms down the hall." Ryuzaki jiggled the handle to the door and sighed. He was aggravated by the man's foolish attempts at keeping Kagome locked and kept away from Ryuzaki.

"Hey! Let her out!" The man holding Kagome hostage smirked at his idol. "Hey is not my name L. If you want her so badly then why don't you just call me by my given name? It would be so much easier." Ryuzaki's hands balled into fists as he slammed the door with unknown force, leaving a noticable dent. "Let her out now damnit!"

The only response he so rudely recieved was the laughter of the Wammy House Menace, as he often called the perpatraitor.

"I don't think so. And you really should stop cussing. It doesn't suit you." L growled at the fool inside. "Ryuzaki help!" Kagome yelped. Ryuzaki's eyes were sealed shut.

"Please don't hurt her! Please!" Before the person on the other side of the door could laugh L screamed at him. "SHE'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO YOU! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO HER?! I'LL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT!" Afterwards he smacked the door and sighed while slidding down on his knees.

"What do you want from me BB? What now?" He heard BB whispering to Kagome before answering him. "All I ever wanted from you was to hear you scream, and to be acknowledged that I'm the better half of our whole. You've given it to me already so here's you're little hooker." Kagome was shoved violently through the door that he had unlocked. She caught sight of the gun Ryuzaki put in the other room when he head hit the ground.

"Are you alright?" Ryuzaki examined her to see if she was wounded. The look on his face was concern and she wanted it gone. For L to worry, it just didn't make any sense to her. "I'm fine. Keep him busy, I'll get the gun." As she got on her knees ready to dart for the weapon, he grabbed her wrist. "Kagome we had a deal with him. We back down on our part and he'll break his promise." The knife BB had was tossed to the ground with an offended force.

"Please, I'm a murderer not a child. Once the words have been spoken I never look back." The figure stepped out from the shadows of the bathroom. His eyes were the stinging color of a fierce red. His attire matched Ryuzaki's to perfection, along with the hairstyle. The only difference was that his eye color was indifferent and he had eyebrows. Kagome knew she'd never be able to rid herself of the sinister smile he wore so proudly.

"And I certainly never back down." Kagome threw the blade near Ryuzaki's foot at BB, or at least she was going to until he stopped her. "Look, Kagome, doll, I don't want to kill anyone whose near their experation date. That includes you, Lolly." Kagome shook her head, not noticing that Ryuzaki had gasped in horror.

"Lolly?" She asked. BB crouched down by them, in the same manner as Ryuzaki was used to with a blank expression. "Yes. When we were younger he could never get the damn lolly pop out of his mouth. It was always green too. I thought he'd at least try out the red kind, but no. It had to be his favorite color." Kagome stood up, towering over BB. Her menacing gaze was only enough to make the pyscho laugh.

"I want you to get out of here now." The man rolled his eyes and got up, about eigth inches taller then Kagome causing her to quiver. "I wouldn't dare be that bold in your shoes Kagome. Do you know why? Do you know who I am? I suggest you keep me around. I can tell you for sure who the real First and Second Kira are. I won't be able to see their numbers, after all."

Kagome squeezed her hair for a second only to force her fists down with noticable speed. "What the hell is it with you and these numbers of yours?" He shut his eyes softly and tapped his right eyelid.

"To see the numbers, you need the eyes. I've got them, and so doesn't the Second Kira if what Lolly here says is true." BB allowed sight to befriend him again and answered the girl's upcoming question. "They're the shinigami eyes. Pretty useful since you could detect if someone were using an alius on the spot." He sighed regretfully. "But when the numbers run out...what I wouldn't give to be blind for at least a day's worth of air."

"You're saying you can read people's life spans and names? So if you can see the face, you can see the name. And if you have those two critical ingrediants, it creates the recipe for a killer's method." Kagome said in a daze. "Ryuzaki?" She called.

"Yes? What is it?" Her throat had felt dry for a moment. "Who is Light's girlfriend?"

"Misa Amane. My ideas exactly." It was as if he had read her mind. Kagome remembered Light had told her that he knew who the Second Kira was, and that he had a girlfriend too. Ryuzaki had suspected Misa as the Second Kira since the day they first met and never let go of the thought.

All this caused BB to stride over to the couch and plop down, his long, slim legs covering the cushions. "Oh and Lolly Pop, I'd most definately keep my eye on your greatest suspects. I have the growing instinct that your death is approaching."
