Death's Protector

by ButterflyMiko

Kagome has been living in the city awhile following Kira's evil aura. When she fires an arrow at his helicopter, she is reunited with her friend L and invited to join the Task Force.

2. Warning

Kagome kept her eye on Light. She knew he had tried to write her name down already and failed.

Kagome even allowed Misa to see her name. They still failed. She smirked.

At one point, when L was sleeping, she leaned down to Light and whispered. "You cannot kill me. And as long as I am here, you cannot kill L."

Light lashed out and punched her, but L caught his fist, apparantly awake now. "You won't be hitting Kagome."

His voice was a practiced calm, but Kagome could tell he was furious.

Kagome backed away and let the two of them battle it out for a while.

But L gave her a meaningful look. She hadn't meant for him to hear her warning to Light. Kagome feared it would make L reckless, knowing he couldn't die.

But she should have known better. L wasn't reckless, he was a genius. And now he had what he needed to defeat Kira.
