Kagome huffed as she was forced to wait in her office in Sesshoumaru's building, she barely ever came here, but she was always glad that he kept her office for her. Shippo lounged across the sofa below one of the large windows in the room, she was sat at her desk, finishing up some work on the computer.
The duo had their illusions dropped due to the fact the only ones with access to this level were demons or people who knew youkai existed, which boiled down to the supernatural communities and some of their human families.
Although the occasional normal human would be dragged into it, like Matsuda and Aizawa, who were currently being introduced to a rather angry Sesshoumaru.
There were even fewer people that knew that Japan's detective, Kitsune was the six-year-old, half nekomata, Kagome. Hell, she could count how many knew on one hand.
Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha and Shippo, although she suspected that L was suspicious of it due to her little hints that she'd been leaving him. Her mother and step-father had once been a part of that list, however that was no longer the case.
She gave a hum, as she realised that the two that had been in their house would most likely be told sooner or later.
"Shippo." She got the man's attention.
"Yes?" She gave a toothy grin, showing off her sharp teeth.
"Me and Kirara both want to know when you're going to have kids." He spluttered, growing a shade of red before picking up the nearest book and hiding his face in it, Kagome laughed.
It wasn't long before two petrified looking men were shoved into her office, she looked over to Shippo who was fake gagging at the stench of their fear, Kagome rolled her eyes at his overreaction before beckoning them to stand infront of her desk.
"Now, what have you two learned?" Her ears twitched as Aizawa awkwardly shifted from one foot to the other, her coal grey eyes watching them closely.
"Don't break into peoples houses?" Matsuda asked, she nodded slightly.
"Good, now take a seat, Fusako will be in here in a few minutes with something for you two to eat and drink." She pointed to the sofa opposite Shippo, who was watching them like a hawk. "I suggest you calm down, the smell of your fear is filling the air and I can hear your heartbeats as they race from here." She looked back to her computer, humming. "If we wanted you dead, you wouldn't be here now."
The two scrambled to the sofa as she hummed, a knock sounded at the door a few minutes later and a short bluebird youkai walked in with a tray of food and drinks, she placed a glass of apple juice on her desk, before walking to Shippo and handing him a mug of coffee.
She then walked over to the two humans, passing them each a mug of coffee, along with sugar and creamer as she hadn't been able to prepare them to their tastes, not that it was her fault, she couldn't have known since there had been no previous interaction between the three.
She gave them each a plate of toast along with a selection of spreads before bowing slightly to Kagome.
"Thank you, Fusako, see you later!" She waved cheerfully at the older youkai who smiled before leaving.
After the short woman from the kitchen staff left, she grinned at Shippo, her gaze quickly turned to the two others in the room.
"Now that you have food and drink, I have to hand you off to Shippo, he's the one in charge of our safety." She stated, pointing at the fox.
They gulped and he grinned.
Kagome was bored out of her mind, Light was at college, Sayu was at school, Soichiro was at work and Sachiko was out shopping, which left her alone.
Well, almost alone, she mused as Ryuk cackled as he sat on her desk chair, throwing multiple apples straight down his throat.
She sat was upside-down on her bed, her long hair pooled on the floor as she watched him.
Playing cards were thrown across the floor, as were marbles, they'd been playing poker, using marbles as a betting tool, it wasn't the first time they'd played poker together and it wouldn't be the last.
She huffed, suddenly turning herself the right way around and walking out of the room, she had snooping to do.
She quickly walked down the hallway and into Light's room, carefully removing the paper and pencil inner from the door's hinge, Ryuk following.
"What are you doing?" He questioned her, she hummed before turning her gaze to him.
"Where is it, Ryuk?" He gulped slightly as her glare held him in place.
"How do you know he doesn't have it on him?" He shot back.
"Because he's not stupid, sure he may have pieces of the book on him, but I highly doubt he'd be carrying it with him." She turned, opening the drawers on his desk, one full of random things like papers and little novelty items like a snow-globe with a dolphin.
She shook her head before moving to the next draw, noticing how tense the Shinigami was getting. The draw slid open to reveal an ordinary journal.
She gave a hum, as she took in how nervous he seemed to be getting and took a closer look at the draw, the depth of it seemed a little off, peeking at the inside of it, she noticed that the wood didn't quite match up with the rest of the draw.
"A false bottom?" She nodded slightly. "Smart, I'm certain that he's done more to it than just add in a false bottom though, am I correct?" Ryuk nodded, before giving a slight chuckle.
"You're far too curious for your own good, you know that?" He spoke. "I mean you have to have heard that saying, right? Curiosity killed the cat and all that good stuff."
"But satisfaction bought it back." She replied, peering under the draw she noticed a small hole, big enough for the ink tube from a pen to fit.
She picked up one of the pens from the pen pot, unscrewed the top of it and took out the tube, poking it through the hole and lifting the top to reveal the Death Note. Giving a grin to the tall figure, she closed it up, setting everything back in it's correct place, she left the room, setting his little traps back up.
Yes, curiosity may kill the cat, but satisfaction indeed bought it back.
