Thanks to: Sugar0o, LoveIsSimplyAWord, DemonFoxGirl3, and dark-wolf-howl! Arigatogozaimashita!

Upon returning to her body for what seemed like forever, the poor weary priestess opened her eyes and yawned tiredly. She had barely anytime to rest, eat or to even relieve herself. She sprinted to the bathroom to take care of her business, but as she was washing her pale hands, her phone rang.

She could tell it was hers because of the ring tone.

'She was covered in leather and go-old,

Twenty-one years o-old.;

I lost her in the co-old,

It's unfair, she's out there.;

Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn!

She's somewhere, somewhere, somewhere in Brooklyn!

Little Miss Perfect sitting at the train stop-'

Kagome leapt into bed, snatching her phone from the bed stand and held it up to her ear lazily. "Hello?"

'Miko.' Kagome's crappy mood was just about to get crappier as she groaned.

"Sesshoumaru?"

'You've failed to inform me of your progress these past few days,' he reminded her icily. Oh, she was in some deep shit. 'Inuyasha took it upon himself to tell me everything that has been found out.'

Sapphire eyes closed in agitation, brow puckering as she felt a migraine coming on. "He... did?"

'Yes, he did. He informed me of the cause of all the deaths, connecting them to a human with a Death Note,' Sesshoumaru nearly growled.

Kagome's forehead hit the mattress in resignation. 'Damn it Inuyasha!' "Yes," she responded, voice muffled from the mass of comforters and sheets she insisted to bury her face in.

'Care to explain?'

Her head lifted to speak, opting to say simple sentences to explain her actions. No need to say anything unneeded. "Well, assuming Inuyasha explained about the investigator we are working with, then I won't address that matter. However, we had to be sure it was truly connected to a shinigami before reporting. It was merely a theory before Kouga and I found out it was actually true," Kagome explained. "We found that there is a second shinigami meddling with human affairs as well. The second shinigami's human has the Eyes, which will make her harder to apprehend. Kouga and I have recently located the first shinigami's Death Note. We plan to retrieve it soon."

The line went quiet for a bit. 'Hn,' he murmured thoughtfully. 'Be sure to report back to me by the end of the week, Miko. I do not wish to be awaken by this Sesshoumaru's younger half brother so early in the morning again.'

Kagome smirked. "Yes Fluffy-sama."

'Miko-!' Before his threat could get through, Kagome hung up with a triumphant smile. "That is so going to bite me in the ass later on," she said grimly, snuggling into her blankets to get some rest. After all, she still had to dig up more dirt on the Yagami kid.

Kouga's eyes narrowed when he saw Light move towards the desk in his room. It was a pretty normal looking room, with the exception of a freaky looking shinigami floating around in it. Everything was painted white, book shelves occupied the nearest wall and had plenty of books on law and justice. Hard wood floors occupied the ground, not a single one creaking under Light's weight. You would never stop to think that this room belonged to a murderer. "Hey Kags," Kouga whispered, sensing her presence nearby. "I think he's up to something."

Kagome appeared, joining him by the window on the second floor and wordlessly watched the teenage boy sit down and open a desk drawer. Both Kagome and Kouga ducked when he glanced around, and came back up when they were sure he wasn't looking.

The Shinigami Ryuk floated on top of Light's bed, looking bored as all hell. "What was that woman, Ryuk?" Light asked, unscrewing the tip of a pen.

"Oi, I told you before Light," Ryuk grumbled. "I can't tell you that."

The thin ink cartridge went underneath the desk and lifted a board up to reveal a false bottom. Kouga's eye brows rose in surprise. "Sneaky little bastard," Kagome muttered lowly.

Light left the cartridge in place and pulled out his Death Note. "Could she ruin my plan?" Light mused out loud. "Tell me Ryuk. Tell me what she is and who she is or no more apples."

"Wha?" Ryuk yelled with a shocked expression on his face. "J-Just a second Light! You can't do that!"

"I can, and I will," the human told the shinigami with a smirk, looking down at the Death Note in his hands.

Ryuk glared at Light before answering the first part of his question. "She's a miko with the ability to separate part of her spirit from her body to do her bidding."

"A shrine priestess?" Light asked, frowning.

"Yeah. She's being protected by a stronger force. The Shikon no Tama, no doubt, and it keeps me from seeing her real name or her lifespan. It's like demons and other yokais. It's hard to see their information because of their auras."

"Priestess', the Shikon no Tama, yokai and demons actually exist? I thought they were just a stories," Light said, narrowing his eyes on the shinigami.

"You thought wrong," Ryuk cackled. "Some stories thought to be false actually have some truth to them."

"Looks like we have a lot to report to L, huh?" Kouga chuckled. "And you weren't kidding about the apple addiction."

"Sh, just watch," Kagome said with a smirk. "We'll go back and tell L tonight."
