January 1, L's hotel room:
With Kagome and Ryuzaki (L):
L and Kagome sat at the small table in the kitchen area of the hotel, Kagome herself was holding her head in her hands while Ryuzaki (as he is still known to her as) was sitting across from her with his knees tucked up into his chest.
"Do you need sunglasses, Kagome? To help with the brightness of the lights and the sun. If not I can always turn the lights off." Ryuzaki asked, sipping his tea quietly. Kagome made a groaning sound in the back of her throat before setting her forehead against the cool wood of the table.
"Have you ever had a hangover before, Ryuzaki?" Kagome asked, looking up at him through her bangs- he could almost make out her blood shot eyes. He mulled the question over for a second before nodding.
"Yes, I have. It is not fun- I suggest drinking the black coffee and then another cup with 4 table spoons of cream and 5 packets of sugar." He said, pushing the sunglasses he had Watari buy him from a 24 hour convenience store by the shrine. "And wear these when you leave the hotel later." He said.
Kagome only groaned again and sat up; she put the glasses on and picked her still steaming mug of black coffee.
"I must thank you for taking care of me last night, Ryuzaki-kun." Kagome mumbled, sipping the bitter coffee. Ryuzaki stopped drinking his own tea as he stared at the woman across from him, two fingers rubbed her right temple as she continued to sip at the coffee.
"You would've done the same for me, Kagome."
"I'm sure I would've, but you don't really seem to be the kind of man to just help someone out for no other reasons." She spoke softly, her eye lids sliding closed. Ryuzaki only stared at her some more while sipping the rest of his tea.
"There is something that bothers me and I would really hope that you could shed some light onto the situation." Ryuzaki spoke. Kagome looked up at him and waited, he poured himself more tea and started adding sugar cubes.
"During Christmas Eve-" two cubes "-Your grandfather mentioned a Shikon no Tama if I'm correct?" two more splashes. "And last night you mentioned something about it as well, along with a character-" three cubes "-An Inu-baka if I remember correctly?"
Kagome paled slightly, and he knew it wasn't from the hangover- try as she might, he wouldn't believe her.
"O-oh, the Jewel of Four Souls, do you want to know what it is and the legend behind it?" at seeing his nod, she sighed as she sipped her coffee again, two pain killers found their way into her line of view. She thanked him quickly and swallowed the two down, giving herself a moment to collect her thoughts.
"Oh, where do I begin? The Shikon no Tama, or the Jewel of Four Souls, was created by the powerful priestess Midoriko. She was in an intense battle with many demons, and the last three she could not defeat, so she sealed her soul- along with the three other demons, into a marble sized Jewel.
"The four souls described are from the Shinto philosophy of Naohi: Aramitama (Courage), Nigimitama (Friendship), Kushimitama (Wisdom) and Sakimitama (Love). When a person contains these four spirits at their maximum, such as Midoriko, they unite to form a really strong and powerful balance within the soul that can be used for either good or evil.
"The jewel was created by the battle of the great priestess Midoriko and a strong and powerful yōkai (demon). She was able to seize the souls of yōkai and purify them, this power coming from having a positive balance of the four souls within her heart, and in a time of many yōkai ravaging the earth those who possessed spiritual powers such as hers were considered to be as powerful as one hundred samurai. Her spiritual power alone paled that of any other person alive, and it was said she could purify and destroy ten yōkai at once. Her final adversary and the one that claimed her life was created by many yōkai joined and anchored within the evil heart of a human who secretly lusted for her."
Kagome went on to tell about how the Jewel switched from protector to protector before finally coming to a halt with its last protector, Kikyo. Then she went on to tell him the tragic love story between InuYasha and Kikyo, Onigumo's obsession with the kind woman and how he sold his body to yōkai so he could finally have her. But then his new persona took control and Naraku was born.
Then she went on to telling him about the deceit Naraku played with the two star-crossed lovers and how Kikyo died believing that the only time she ever gave her heart away, and the man she loved betrayed her trust for his own selfish greed.
The tales stopped for a moment as Watari served them breakfast, he said that her cousin was staying in the same hotel that she was in now but only a few floors down, he would give her the room number once she felt sturdy enough to leave and that her cousin wanted to meet with her.
After she thanked him and they ate, Kagome started her story once again- except with new player in the game, a supposed Miko that had come far from her home and to find out she was the reincarnation of the famous Kikyo and that the Shikon no Tama was implanted in her side-
"And just as Naraku rose again to swing an attack, InuYasha swung his giant sword, creating a ripple in the air, Kanae (Beautiful one) pulled her bow back and sent the arrow's flying in the rift InuYasha had made, impending the scared arrow into his ches-" Kagome was at the climax of her story, her hangover obviously gone or well sedated because she was talking louder and was much more animated with her story telling, her hands moving around in the air as her once dull eyes were bright again and practically shinning with joy.
There was a knock on the hotel door, causing Kagome to pause in mdi sentence, annoyance clearly written all over her features. Watari gave Kagome the room number and disappeared in a room.
"Come in." Ryuzaki called out, finishing his last cup of tea, he glanced at Kagome again and gave the hand that was resting on the table a small pat. Kagome smiled weakly before sending the door a glare, she sighed and got up and moved to where she knew the bathroom was.
It was like her second or third time being in this hotel room anyways.
The Task Force filed into the room one by one and L gave a look to the bathroom door.
"Good morning, I hope the New Year's Celebration's didn't deter you all too much from the task at hand." L said, fishing for a powdered doughnut.
"Not at all!" Matsuda said, grinning as he fell back on to the couch. He brought his cell phone out and turned it off, the others followed his example (turning their phones off, not acting like a carefree idiot.) Ryuzaki sighed as he got out of his comfortable chair in the kitchenette and sat on a plush chair in the sitting area.
Soft foot falls could be heard coming from the bathroom area, he glanced up as Kagome walked out, her hair freshly brushed and a blue top showed from underneath her jacket, her dark blue jeans were tucked into some warm boots, her attention was caught with something in her bag as she walked blindly.
"Thanks for your help and all, Ryuzaki- Especially for taking Momma to the hospital last night. Good luck on those entrance exams too in 16 days." Kagome said from over her shoulder, bringing attention to herself. She didn't glance back as she opened the door and stepped out, closing it with a firm click behind her.
Ryuzaki was only thankful that none of the Task Force members had gotten a good look at her face, he had the sunglasses he gave her to thank for that as well.
With Kagome:
"103… 105….. 107… Where the hell is room 123? Did I go the wrong way?" Kagome was completely, and most defiantly, lost. She sighed as she shifted the sunglasses Ryuzaki gave her back into place as she glanced at room numbers.
Naomi's had to be around here somewhere…
"Ah ha!" Kagome cheered quietly once she saw the room she was looking for, she knocked on the door and didn't wait long as her cousin opened it, a determined look in her eyes as she slipped a puffed jacket on.
"Come with me, we're going somewhere." Naomi didn't leave any room for argument. Kagome only stared at her cousin in shock before grudgingly following behind, her head hung as she sighed quietly.
"So where are we going?"
"To the Kira Task force, I have an appointment with them and I want someone else with me knowing what I want to say." Naomi glanced at her cousin quickly before pushing the elevator, the two climbed in.
"So what exactly-"
"You know that Ray died a while ago, right?" Naomi didn't look at her, only stared in front of her as the glass elevator drifted down. Kagome could only nod, her expression changing into one of confusion. "I believe he met Kira when he was here, you're smart Kagome, you know that he was in the FBI- he was trailing someone, couldn't tell me who, and I believe he met Kira."
Kagome dug through her bag, taking her cell phone out and recorded the conversation- who knew how often she would need this?
"I believe that Kira can control what people do before they die, and not just that, but also how they die- meaning that not only a heart attack will do the trick. The guy that Aunt Higurashi ran over was most likely controlled by Kira to jump off the bus at that time. I also believe that Kira was on that bus with Ray and your friend Yuri."
Kagome visibly shivered but kept the recording going.
"Eight hours before that, another wanted criminal tried to rob a convenience store and was stabbed to death, two wanted criminals in the same day, and died at the scene is highly unusual. Eight days after the bus jacking, my fiancé and his 11 colleagues all died. During those eight days more than 20 people with some like to crime, including criminals, died in Tokyo of heart attack. But after the FBI agents died, this spate of deaths abruptly stopped.
"My fiancé, convenience store robber, and the busjacker…. Were all used by Kira in order to murder the FBI agents here in Japan. I know it."
The elevator was silent and Kagome saved the video and started a new one:
"Is that all?" She asked, her cousin shook her head, looking at her finally once the doors of the elevator opened up.
"No. The convenience store robber could have been used as practice for the busjacker's death. And the busjacking was for Kira to get information on the FBI from my Fiancé." Naomi stopped walking and gave her cousin a pointed look, the video camera on her cousin's phone staring right at her, she didn't give it a second glance.
"He showed his FBI ID to another passenger. He said he had no choice. Now stop recording, I have everything written down." She tapped her purse at her side and both continued to walk down the street.
Kagome saved that recording as well and looked at the ground, following her cousin's heeled boots with her eyes as she got lost in thought. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and found gloves in them. She gave a slight smile and silently thanked Watari. She slipped the warm gloves on over her hands and when she looked up, her cousin was climbing stairs, the sign on the side of the building read: "National Police Agency."
The NPA…. Oh good god….
