Otose: I'm like losing track of everything!
Roger: You need to be more organized.
Otose: I am! And shut up! Also when it gets to the feudal era it's going to be rushed so I can get the story going. Sorry if it pisses anyone off.

Light faced Ryuk.
"How is it possible for a Shinigami to get engaged?" Asked Light, last he talked with Ryuk, he said Shinigami weren't allowed to have relationships.
"Well this is probably the only way how." Ryuk answered, sitting down on Light's bed.
"Is it to another Shinigami?" Asked Light, taking a seat.
"No, it's to some human miko."
Light gave a confused look, "You're getting married to a human miko?"
Ryuk nodded as he lay down on the bed.
"And if I remember correctly a miko is a shrine priestess, believed to have holy powers, which they used to cure diseases, illnesses and vanquish demons." Light said, more to himself than to Ryuk.
Ryuk nodded, "Apparently she doesn't know she's engaged to a Shinigami yet."
"Why wasn't she told? Shouldn't she believe in you?" Asked Light, this was getting more interesting by the second.
"Most likely, thought the old man wants to wait on telling her, he says we need to wait for something else to happen." Ryuk explained.
Light nodded, he wondered what it could be.
*Feudal Era.*
"Inuyasha! Are you sure this is the right way?" Asked Kagome, they had been traveling for a while now, she was getting tired.
"I already said yes! This is the way to Naraku." Shouted Inuyasha as he glared at her.
Kagome sighed in annoyance, what the hell was his problem? Did visiting Kikyo get him mad? If so then he shouldn't visit her.
"So Kagome how is everything back home?" Sango asked.
"Everything's fine. I made a new friend." Kagome replied.
"Oh, what's there name?" Shippo asked, jumping onto Kagome's shoulder.
"Her name is Jacki." Kagome replied.
They carried on their conversation until they had finally stopped to make camp. Everyone helped set everything up, ate and went to sleep.
Kagome stayed awake waiting for every to fall asleep. At last they all did. Kagome sat up and looked at everyone, wanting to make sure they were indeed asleep. Seeing that they were, she got up and walked away a bit from the camp into a small clearing.
Kagome smiled as she looked at the night sky, how beautiful it was.
"A lovely night no?"
Kagome turned around only to come face to face with a man older than her. He had dark hair, perhaps a dark brown or black, his eyes they were hard to describe so was the color, black? Brown? Gray? She couldn't tell.
"Yes, yes it is." Kagome answered, wary of the man. When did he come into the clearing?
He nodded as he stood beside her looking up at the sky. He was wearing the traditional kimono, the bottom half was a dark blue with the top part white, the sleeves had black, dark blue and light blue in the patterns of waves.
"You are the miko who is collecting the jewel shards correct?" The man asked, still looking at the sky.
"I am what of it?" Kagome said, she was getting an odd feeling from this man, just who was he?
"I see, well I have something to give you my dear." The man said pulling something out from the inside of his kimono.
Kagome was surprised when the man handed her a white notebook.
"I am what am known as a Shinigami, or death god. In fact I am the king. You my miko have caught my interest; no it's not a romantic feeling despite that you are quite lovely my dear. It is your personality my dear, kind to all humans, demons, half demons and such." The Shinigami King replied.
"So, what is it that you want?" Kagome asked as she examined the white notebook. 'Demon Note?' Kagome thought as she read the cover under it was an angel and demon back to back, both we're holding a shining light.
"It has come to my attention that you are fighting the half demon Naraku. It would be easier to kill him with that notebook."
Kagome narrowed her eyes, "What do you expect in return?"
The Shinigami King chuckled as he spared a glance at her.
"For you to be my ally, you miko have a power like no other. It is something many would like. For years your kind has tried getting rid of us, but to have the miko of the Shikon no Tama they will stop and we will be able to kill as we please." The Shinigami King explained, looking straight into Kagome's eyes.
"To kill as you please? Why? What need do you and your Shinigami's need to have to kill?" Kagome questioned, angered by his request.
"We need to kill to live, not something you would be able to understand. We have a notebook like yours except it is black and meant to kill humans, giving us longer life with their remaining life span. With your power we will be able to live longer and perhaps do much more."
"That's not right! Can't you find a way to live without killing anyone?" Kagome pleaded.
"No, there is not. Make a choice now miko, help us willingly or I will take matters into my own hands." The Shinigami King said, facing her.
"I am a miko servant to the gods, but not to a death god. I will not help you." Kagome answered.
The Shinigami King frowned, "I see well then. Keep the notebook as a present then, but I request one thing."
"What?"
"What is your father's name?"
"My father's name? It's Takeo Higurashi. Why?"
The Shinigami King did not reply instead chuckled as he walked away into the darkness of the forest.
Kagome stood there just watching to see of something would happen. Why had the Shinigami King? Certainly there was more that he wanted. Kagome shook her head, but there had to be a reason! He just wouldn't give her this notebook for nothing.
Something was up, and Kagome was afraid of what it may be.
