Chapter 3

It was bright and sunny day out, the birds were chirping and the wind blew a light breeze through the trees. A woman with long raven hair and a bright blue sun dress on was sitting on a bench under the biggest tree in a park. Her electric blue eyes watch every single person who walked by her, to some people it would appear as if she was just enjoying the day but to someone trained they would know that she was scoping out the area. A man in his mid-thirties approached her, he was wearing a nice dress suit that was black and his bright blonde hair glowed as the sun reflected off it. There was a hard look in his green eyes as the woman made eye contact with him.

As the man approached her the woman stood up a small smile on her face as If she was greeting an old friend.

"You came alone, am I correct?" the unknown man said when he was standing a few feet in front of her.

"Of course, he did ask me to come alone." she replied a look of mock hurt on her face as her eyes twinkled with amusement. The man sneered at her before he spoke again.

"Yes, I assume that you know what you're doing?" he asked as they started walking towards the street.

The woman nodded,

"I am not a fool Rido... I know what could happen by joining this case." she said

The man that is now known as Rido scoffed at her.

"You always were one not to care of the consequences, Kagome."

Silence followed the pair as they walked out of the park, the man leading her towards a black car parked on the side of the road. When they reached the car on of the windows rolled down just enough so that you could see half of the head of the person in the car.

"Been a long time Kagome…I would have never thought you would come to me for help." The person in the car said glancing up at her.

"Yeah well you're the only on I can go to…Near." Kagome smiling at the albino in the car, who was giving her a blank look

"I figured as much….Get in." Near said while telling the driver to unlock the door

Walking around to the other side of the car Kagome opened the door and slid in.

"You sure have gotten bigger." Kagome said as the car started making its way down the road.

"What do you expect? It's been 7 years." Near replied playing with a strand of hair

"Hai… I know…." Kagome said.

Silence again.

"So I am going to take a guess here and from the ring on your finger and the fact that you're coming to me after he died…I'm guessing that you two were…Are married?" Near asked her a few minuets

"Yeah, it's been about 3 years now." Kagome replied thinking about the way L had proposed.

*Flashback*

"L! You can't be serious! You know I didn't kill him!" a very angered Kagome Yelled to the panda looking male as two big Cops pulled her towards a cop car. The hand cuff's digging into her wrist as she fought them.

"I am completely serious Kagome…There is a 79% chance that you are the murdered…" L said while watching her be pulled away.

The cops finally got her into the car and then the drove off with L's ok.

10 min later they parked outside of a park.

"Why are we at a park?" Kagome asked as one of the police opened her door.

"You'll see," He replied while unlocking her hand cuffs and pushing her towards the park.

"Follow the signs," the other cop said when Kagome turned around with a questioning look on her face.

Nodding Kagome walked into the park and started following the signs.

"There's a 99.6% chance that you're going to yell at me right now." Someone spoke when Kagome turned the corner.

There sitting on the park bench with knees pulled up to his chest was L…the same L who had just arrested her.

"What the Hell? Why did you arrest me and then send me to this Park L?" Kagome Yelled at him coming to a stop right in front of the bench, her fist clenched at her side.

"See… I was right." L said while standing up

"I asked you a question." Kagome said

"I did that because I knew that you wouldn't want me to do this any other way." L started rather cryptically.

"Do what?" She asked.

"This….Kagome will you marry me?" L asked while pulling a ring out of his back pocket.

Kagome gasped placing her hand to her mouth.

"L….Yes!" Kagome said tears falling out of her eye's she pulled the detective into a hug.

*End*

"Yeah…and that's the reason I came to you…" Kagome said looking at Near.

"I want you to help me catch Kira."
