Kagome woke up in a daze as though something had woke her up. She glanced around in the darkness before smelling the sweet smell of breakfast.
"Smells good," Kagome said, a yawn escaping her lips, stretching her arms above her head. Yuka glanced up from the frying pan with a spatula in one hand. She was fully dressed, freshly showered as always. She was always the early bird, never wanting to sleep. Kagome had become more of a morning person thanks to the Feudal era. Kagome rubbed her eyes as she plopped onto the floor. They really needed to get some furniture. Yuka brought her hands up; one as a rock and the other's palm under it.
"Rock, paper, scissors?" Kagome looked at her confused but followed suit. Kagome lost.
"You go searching for a job today, while I do furniture shopping," Kagome sighed but nodded. She did lose. Kagome quickly showered and dressed before heading out. Three hours later, she had given up, not finding anyone to hire a girl with no work experience. Luck seemed to not be on her side. Yet it seemed odd how, as she was pushed out of another place, she slammed into a body. A slim body who fell to the ground in a tangle of limbs with Kagome. Her body was slender, covered in a black corset and fishnets, a tiny skirt hiking up her thighs. She squeaked, her blonde hair spraying in the air. Kagome glanced up, a tint of pink in her cheeks.
"I'm so sorry,"
"No, Misa wasn't looking," Kagome smiled at the girl, bringing a hand to pull her up.
"I'm Kagome,"
"I'm Misa," The girl grinned at her. Kagome tried not to roll her eyes at the obvious statement. Yet the blonde watched her, waiting for some form a reaction. A reaction that never came from the clueless Kagome.
"Do I know you?" Kagome asked catching onto what the girl was waiting for, since she grinned when Kagome asked.
"Well, you might have seen Misa's work. Misa is a famous model." Kagome blinked a few times, glancing over her shoulder at the Shinigami. The Shinigami who was staring straight into Kagome's eyes. Kagome swallowed, looking away. Twice in more then a week, not a coincidence. She shifted uncomfortably and smiled at Misa. She took a unconscious step backwards, laughing lightly. She could hear Guuku behind her chuckling. He walked up to the Shinigami, slapping him on the back. Shinigami looked oddly at the girl before it's eyes widened. It must have figured out Kagome could see it.
"Again I'm sorry for running into you." But Misa stopped her.
"Actually are you looking for a job?"
"How did you know?" Misa smiled shyly.
"Well you were kind of mumbling about finding a job when you ran into me," Kagome relaxed at the statement. Maybe the shinigami was just aimlessly following her, waiting for her death. Although, a shinigami usually just watches from the other world. . .
"Yeah actually I am. I just moved here to go to college." Misa nodded before handing her a card.
"Actually we're looking for models all the time. Misa would bet you would easily get a job." Kagome eyes widened in humbleness before she nodded.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." Kagome started to turn away from the strangely dressed girl before Misa called out to her.
"Lets be good friends!" She waved enthusiastically as Kagome walked to the park across the street. She glanced back, seeing the girl watch Kagome retreat, before speaking to the Shinigami. Kagome sat on a bench, sighing out before mumbling.
"What a coincidence,"
"Yes quite," She jumped at the sound of a quiet voice, noticing the man next to her. He was watching her with his black eyes, his eyes trailing over the bodies that flowed through the streets.
"What do you mean?"
"That you happen to have met Light Yagami as well as me," She raised an eye brow, glancing at his shoeless feet.
"Aren't your feet cold?"
"No,"
"But its like 40 degree's out," He turned his head towards her, a curious gaze meeting her concern look. She reached in her bag, pulling out a pair of socks.
". . . . You carry around socks?" He asked quietly, staring at the know red faced Kagome.
"Well, just in case," His lip twitched in amusement, before turning away again.
"Tell me, do you believe in coincidences?"
"No. My life is controlled by fate," She smiled at him before continuing.
"My names Kagome. Do you go to the college here?"
"What is your full name?"
"Kagome Higurashi. And you didn't answer my question,"
"If you value your life, you wouldn't give your name out so easily," She chuckled into her hand.
"What does my name have to do with anything?" She asked with her head cocked to the side. His eyes widened slightly.
"Because of Kira, of course," She looked away, a finger lightly tapping her chin in thought. She turned back to him.
"Oh that's right, that killer that's been on the news,"
"Yes, he needs only a name and a face,"
"Yeah, like he can kill me," She said it sarcastically, standing at this. She mumbled her last words, thinking he wouldn't hear. But he did.
"You know usually people tell the other person their name when they introduce themselves," He was quiet, just staring at her. She shrugged, used to odd behaviors and turned away.
"Ryuuga," She smiled and turned back to him. She walked back and plopped next to him. She pulled out a bag carrots. She handed him the bag with a smile. He looked at her bag, which seemed to hold pretty much anything.
"Its nice to meet you, do you go to the college here as well?"
"Yes, I do. And I suspect you go to the school as well," She giggled and smiled at him.
"What are you a detective or something?"
"Yes, actually." Her eyes widened.
"Really? Any interesting cases?"
"None that I can talk to you about," She smiled and rolled her eyes, before standing.
"Sorry, but I got to go know. Hopefully I'll see you at the school, ne?" She walked away from him, his eyes glued to her back. She was quite odd. With her swaying hips and ignorance.
Kagome sat at her desk, her eyes fully focused on the chalk board as though it would give her the answer's. She numbly watched the teacher walk back and forth groaning and sighing the information they needed to know. He was a elderly man, graying hair with drooping eyes and a wide mouth, teaching history. Of course they started on the Feudal era, making Kagome even more uncomfortable. The stares didn't help. It seemed Light was in her class and sat behind her. She felt the eyes of another man on her as well. The one she met on the bench. His eyes were pit less black with circles under his eyes. His skin was pale, covered in a large white longs sleeve shirt and baggy jeans. The same clothing that he wore when she met him. If she didn't know better he would look like he wasn't wearing shoes. Inside their classroom, which is kind of disgusting. But she was used to it, thanks to Inuyasha running around with out shoes. But that's about all their similarities. For one thing Inuyasha was brash and loud, hiding behind anger and hatred. While this man, Ryuuga, was soft talking, quiet and calculating. Their eyes bore holes into her as though she wouldn't notice. But she did and so did other students. The whispered her name and whispered the boys. They spoke of dating, hating, jealousy, and sex. Finally she couldn't take it. Not with Light in the room. The shinigami had followed him, grinning at her with those unnaturally large yellow eyes. His teeth were sharp as his lips seemed to peel back and his nose looked smashed into his face. Light seemed unaware of the follower; either that or he was ignoring him. She glanced at him making his smile widen. She picked up her binders and shot out of the room during the lecture. Ryuuga's bottomless eyes followed her with curiosity as she escaped, she seemed to be a mystery. And he quite liked mysteries. Why is Light so interested in her? And that odd comment…
Light's eyes narrowing in suspicion but made no movement to watch her leave, especially when Ryuk erupted with laughter. No matter how much he wanted to watch her walk away in that tiny little skirt. Light didn't even glance away from the teacher when Ryuk floated out of the room. Light took note of it but kept his eyes on L. Who was also watching the women.
"Do you know her, Ryuuga ?" Light whispered to the man curled up like a gargoyle, his toes wiggling, his messy black hair swaying around him when he looked back at the teacher.
"Yes, it seems you know her as well," Light nodded.
"I knew her back in grade school,"
"How interesting,"
"What a coincidence," Yet both seemed to think the same thing. There is no such thing as coincidences. There was only fate and she was entering a world that she would not understand.
"Don't follow me," she hissed at the being behind her. Who in turned chuckled Ryuk floated behind her as she looked around for people. They came to a secluded spot in the school before she whipped around. Her slim hands came to her hips as she leaned onto the side. She felt an eyebrow starting to twitch as she closed her eyes.
"I didn't expect any of your kind to still exist, Ryuk right?"
"Did you think we would go extinct like most demons?
"What do you want, Ryuk?"
"Its been a while, Miko," Her eyes narrowed at the nickname.
"It has hasn't?" She said with a small smile. Even if she didn't want to deal with anything supernatural, she couldn't help but feel a little happy. Her past was slowly meeting up with her present. She rummaged through her bag before she found what she needed. An ripe, red apple. She tossed the apple at him as he greedily grabbed for it. She giggled at the sight of him devouring it quickly.
"Why are you here, Ryuk? You shouldn't be in this realm. Unless you are taking my life, which I know you wouldn't be so silly to do," His laughter seemed to sound more like a cackle and make her cringed. She had come upon Ryuk in the Feudal era before. And since that time, they have known to never mess with this Miko in particular. They weren't foolish enough to ignore the mark she bared, the gray skull at the base of her throat. She wanted that time to be gone though, she wanted to forget what had happened. But only a handful things brought a Shinigami to this realm, and Guuku, rarely ever came to follow her, which meant something was up. Ryuk started to float away when she called to him.
"Are you with Light?" She asked. He turned to and grinned.
"I don't want to die and if you should get involved, I don't doubt you will." She nodded with a smile, understandingly.
"Its already too late for that right? Fate's brought me to Light and you are following him. I'm not stupid. But that doesn't mean he has one?" Ryuk cackled. This would defiantly prove to make or break Light's plan. At that, he turned away and left. At that he was gone. Kagome glanced at her watch, deciding to head to her work for lunch.
"Ryuuga," She called out, her arm waving enthusiastically. He glanced at her as she ran up to him. She was smiling widely as she approached his slumping body. He was wearing the same baggy shirt and jeans and weirdly enough no shoes. On the sidewalk. That was just disgusting. She finally halted, slightly out of breath.
"I cant believe we have classes together, what a coincidence," He slid his hands into his front pockets before one foot rubbing the other's calf.
"Hm, yes, a coincidence,"
"So how are you liking your classes?" she asked aware of his shifting. When he sighed before answering, she could feel her head pulsing in irritation. She interrupted him, causing him to frown, his lower lip slightly sticking out.
"If you have to leave, then go. I don't want to keep you, I was going to ask if you wanted to have lunch but I guess your already busy," At that her pocket started beeping for attention. She turned away from the annoyed Ryuuga, flipping her phone open and answering. She glance over her shoulder with a smile before leaving.
"I hate cell phones," He grumbled, wanting to reach out and snatch her phone so he could have her attention again. Annoyance started to bubble inside of L like never before. How could this women make him feel anything other then curiosity. But it was true, he did have to leave. So he walked away as she took the call. Yuka was squeaking about something with their new plumbing and it not working. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at her misery and of Ryuuga's frown when she turned away from him. Something about him made her want to tease him.
