Summery: Interception: n. (American football) the act of catching a football by a player on the opposing team.

She didn't always agree on what was being done by the one who called himself "Kira," or the mysterious being who called himself "L," but with everyone choosing sides and only a select few who are "indecisive," the odds are stacking up against her- and with a threat on her life, her grandfather contacts an old friend of his, and next thing she knows she's right in the middle of the two opposing forces.

Though she sees good in everyone, she's having a hard time deciding which side to fight for…. Kira's sense of "Justice"? Or the "Justice" that has been used by human's for generations? Decisions, decisions…

Interception:

Chapter 22:

The individuals who lose ownership of the DEATH NOTE will also lose their memory of the usage of the DEATH NOTE. This does not mean that he will lose all the memory from the day he owned it to the day he loses possession, but means he will only lose the memory involving the DEATH NOTE.

November 22, 2003;

Ryuk's grin etched across his features, twisting more gruesome and evil like as he stared at the apparition before him, the creatures humanoid form that was wrapped in bandages from head-to-toe, a giant skull covered his face, golden eyes sliced through the dark pits, his scythe scrapped the ground as it was held loosely from his grip.

"Dellidublly, what a surprise." Ryuk said, his hunched form dwarfing the lower ranking Shinigami easily. The Shinigami in question didn't have any physical reaction (except for a gleam in his left golden eye.) "It's been ages since we last spoke."

"I know what you did, Ryuk." Dellidublly said calmly, Ryuk only grinned wider, his own silver earing gleaming in the low light provided in the Shinigami realm. "I ask a favor of you, for I know if I dropped my Death Note now that your entertainment would be ruined."

"Oh?" He chuckled, wanting to hear what the Shinigami wanted.

"I will not tell the Shinigami King of your more frequent trips down to the Human's World for apples of all objects if you look out for someone there…." Dellidublly murmured, offering the taller Shinigami an apple from the humans world. Ryuk eyed the fruit hungrily before swiping it up and eating it quickly. He grinned and chuckled after he was done, red eyes looking to the smaller Shinigami.

"You have my attention, who do I have to look out for?"

"Her name is Kagome Higurashi; she has a pair of blue dice with black paint in the divots. She uses them as earrings and has a most… interesting life span; she lives in an apartment in Tokyo, Japan. Thankfully it's also in the same region where your Death Note landed. Make sure that human who picked up that Death Note of Sidoh's doesn't get too close to her, or tries to kill her for that matter. If not, you can kiss your own life goodbye."

Dellidublly was always a soft speaking Shinigami, never in other Shinigami's business, always gambled. So it was a surprise to Ryuk when the Shinigami had so much information on a human…. Human Woman no less. And so much information on what he was up to.

"Oh I get it now, you're in love with her, aren't you?" Ryuk chuckled, Dellidublly was silent, and showed Ryuk another apple.

"She's a miko, so be fair warned."

Ryuk burst out laughing as he took the offered apple, his grin returning full force.

"Of course, but why mention the dice? They sound like the ones we use when we gamble. Or more importantly the dice you lost like six centuries ago."

The two were silent for a while. Ryuk's smile fell only a bit as he ate the apple.

"It is the ones you lost, aren't they?"

"Only the best."

"Then why are you worried about her dying? They are a Shinigami's personal dice, a personal object that should protect her from the Death Note."

Dellidublly was silent again, he shifted his scythe to scratch the dusty ground below.

"There's a reason why those were my favorite dice, Ryuk. It may save her life, but I cannot guarantee that it will deflect the Death Note's power from her family. That is why I blackmail you into protecting her. You understand, don't you?"

"What, the strange feelings you have with the human or that I understand that I need to look out for-said human?"

"Looking out for her you dumbass!" Dellidublly hissed. Ryuk barked out laughter again, holding his sides.

"Yeah, I understand." His grin returned full forced. There was a reason that Shinigami was only a 10th ranking one.

December 13, 2003;

Ryuk's attention was captured when a young girl called out the Human's name, although Light didn't seem to hear it. Ryuk glanced over and noticed a Sayu Yagami yelling for Light, oh. It was Light's younger sister.

Although his attention was really grasped when he noticed that the girl stopped and stared straight at him. How interesting that is, she could see him. And not only that, but a Kagome Higurashi took the child away- Kagome Higurashi….

Ryuk grinned and was very tempted to move, but then Light would know that something is up, and would likely want to know what it is.

"I found you…. Kagome Higurashi…" Ryuk thought, mentally storing away her spiritual signature that she most likely used just moments before.

Interesting.

December 14:

It wasn't hard to follow her spiritual signature to an apartment building, but it was difficult to know which apartment was hers. He peeked into people's homes, searching for something that indicated who lived there.

But he finally got lucky on his third try.

"Hee hee, I've been looking for you, Miko." He said once she made eye contact with him. Her eyes visibly widened. "I'm Ryuk, a friend of Dellidublly's. He talked about you, Miko Kagome. I see you still have the dice he gave you- very interesting way of keeping them on your person at all times, I must admit." He grinned more and touched his own silver earring.

December 15:

He was back at her apartment the next day, deciding to figure out what was so special about the Woman.

"Dellidublly was right… So strange. You trusted him with those dice so easily all those years ago, and now here you are- still with them." He grinned when she groaned. "Say… you got any apples, Miko?" Ryuk asked, looking around her kitchen.

"He said I couldn't purify Shinigami… But he didn't say that my Miko powers couldn't harm them…" She spoke up for the first time in a long time with a dark mutter; she glared at him and reached her hand out- touching his chest. He felt her powers surge forth from her finger tips, and it took all his self-control to actually not yell out. Damn did it hurt.

"Hey, that kinda hurts." Ryuk stated, holding back a chuckle to mask the pain. He scratched at the part of his shirt where a hole was when she removed her hand, now feeling it itch like crazy. "Well, you can't purify us, but apparently you can harm us. Interesting." He laughed.

December 16:

"Kagome. Kagome. 'Gome. Miko." He kept saying, waiting for a reaction out of her. "Mik-"

"WHAT?!" She yelled at him, standing up and lifting her body up with her arms, she stood rigid and about ready to murder him- perhaps this was why Dellidublly was interested in the girl? She was a feisty little thing.

He grinned wider: "Hi." He got a loud groan in return, but he only chuckled.

"Go away, Ryuk! I'm busy with homework!"

"No way, the human who has my Death Note is way too uptight." And it was true, too. Light was so mean to him and didn't offer him as much entertainment as Kagome did.

"D-Death… Note?" She seemed surprised, all the fight going out of her as she stared in shock at him. Ryuk raised an eyebrow at her.

"Don't tell me Dellidublly didn't explain the thing to you. He must've."

"He did… But he told me about the Death Scroll, the Death Note must be relatively new…"

"Oh, it is. It has been around for the past hundred years or so."

"So… What more can it do?"

"You need not worry right now, Miko." Ryuk chuckled. Kagome's anger was back as she growled at him.

"It's Kagome!"

"And I'm Ryuk, your point?" He cackled when she just groaned again, catching the textbook that was aimed for his head.

December 20:

"Miko." Ryuk said from behind her on top of a bridge that overlooked the roadway below them. She gasped and turned around, meeting his eye with her wide blue ones. He bent down so he was more to her size. "What are you doing out here, spying on Light and his date like that? You're almost as bad as that man whose been trailing us for the past two days have been." He grinned wider when seeing the worry in her eyes.

"Are you going to hurt that man?" Fear laced with her voice, he chuckled again.

"No, not today, But someone is going to get hurt, don't worry. It's not going to be that girl down there. Though she might become scarred for life." And Light thinks I don't know what he's up too. Foolish humans, indeed, it's fun to twist their minds around to make them think they have all the control when it's the other way around. Ryuk thought, staring at the woman.

"Tell me, Miko. Do you know someone named Ray Penber?" She was silent for a moment while she thought it over.

"I-I think so… His name seems for familiar. Why do you ask?"

"No reason." Was his automatic answer, getting up and flying down to Light below.

January 10, 2004:

With Ryuk at the Yagami Household:

Ryuk sat on Light's bed, twisting his silver earring as he watched the livid teenager try to study and kill criminals at the same time. Shouldn't the little over-achiever be stressed be now?

Ryuk sighed, twisting one of the silver rings on his bony fingers.

Maybe now he could understand why Dellidublly liked that human woman, she was….

Interesting.
