"You know what? For some reason, I had always imagined shinigami to be…I dunno...better looking I guess?"
Ryuk looked insulted.
Kagome looked contemplative.
Light looked amused.
"Miss Higurashi, what makes you say that?"
Kagome shrugged. "I dunno. I guess I've been watching too much Bleach."
Ryuk looked even more insulted.
Light smiled at Ryuk's ire. "Believe me, none of the shinigamis look like those in Bleach."
Kagome looked a tad put out, "Really?" She pouted. "I always wished for a real life Byakuya."
Light smiled charmingly (read: creepily in a manipulative way) and decided to approach more important topics.
"Say, Miss Higurashi, can you tell me how you can see Ryuk?"
"Kagome blinked. "Oh, so his name is Ryuk? Yeah that doesn't sound like a hot Shinigami name."
Ryuk started twitching angrily.
"Well I guess I can see shinigami because I have a pretty powerful sixth sense? Either that or it's because I have spiritual powers." Kagome nodded confidently. "Yup, living on a shrine all your life can do that to you."
"Ah, I see." Light nodded understandingly.
Oh this girl is so gonna die.
Kagome glanced down at her watch and jumped to her feet in surprise. "Oh my! Sorry Light but I have to go!"
"No need to apologize Miss Higurashi, I thank you for taking the time to answer my question."
Kagome smiled gratefully before dashing away to who knows where.
Back at the bench in the park, Light pulled out a pencil from his shoe (of all places to keep a pencil) and a scrap of paper from the Death Note out of his pants. And it wasn't from his pockets mind you!
He was about to write down her name on the piece of paper before he paused. He ignored Ryuk's chants of 'Kill her! Kill her! Kill her!' and decided to not kill Miss Higurashi, amazingly.
It was purely for selfish reasons, of course.
She could possibly be a valuable asset in his quest for world domination (New utopia! Not world domination! Utopia!) because of her ability to see shinigami and she could do some undercover work for him.
And besides, Light had never met someone who could get Ryuk riled up that easily.
