Kagome's Apartment:

Kagome flitted about the apartment, busying herself and making a point that she was going to treat them with breakfast this morning. Of course Ryuzaki's pancakes consisted of mostly whipped cream, sliced strawberries, chocolate chips- you know, the works (or for parents with children, their worst nightmare.)

She was also starting to wonder if she should regret giving him that much sugar at once seeing how his eyes were wider than usual, his mouth was twisted into a suppressed grin while biting on his thumbnail, and she could only imagine how often his toes wiggled with glee at seeing the concoction.

"Maybe I should do social-centered activities more often?" He vaguely thought as he greedily took the sugar covered pancakes for his own.

Watari chuckled and ate his own pancakes while Kagome moved around the table and served Matsuda and Soichiro.

"You two have been staying more and more lately. How is everything going with the Kira case?" Kagome asked, filling Soichiro's cup of coffee again. She mainly asked this because she missed two sessions and next thing she knew it was the day Ryuzaki would be going with her to To-Oh for his entrance exams.

"Ahh… Yes, well Ryuzaki still suspects my son of being Kira-" Kagome snorted her amusement as this, Soichiro raised an eyebrow at this. "Kagome-san, is there something you would like to say?" She only shrugged and moved to stand by Matsuda, refilling his cup of coffee as well.

"I don't blame him in all honesty. With that one interaction I had with your son when dropping Sayu at your home, I didn't feel safe with him. His aura was tinted black and the stench of death came off of him in subtle waves that normal people would usually miss." Kagome's nose crinkled as she went back over to the counter and poured Aizawa a cup of coffee, who was still knocked out on the couch.

She didn't serve herself any pancakes, which Ryuzaki and Matsuda noted with grief. She reached into her fridge and brought out a banana, cutting it up into a small bowl with warmed milk and sugar.

Ryuzaki and Matsuda made eye contact, Matsuda nodded slightly before both men went back to their pancakes Kagome has made them.

The woman sighed as she ate her breakfast, feeling ashamed at herself for letting L and Touta see how skinny she had gotten from the stress caused by Kira, the Task Force, and school itself recently.

Not to mention work… She got fired….

And man, did she get a stern talking to from Matsuda later that morning after she woke up without any other nightmares.

She still couldn't believe she had dreamed up that Shippou died- he didn't die. He was fine, healthy, mated and with pups. So why did she dream that he died by Naraku's slimy hands?

Kagome shivered and sat her bowl down, losing her appetite as she left the kitchen in silence, moving towards her bedroom to finish getting ready so she and Ryuzaki could catch the train to To-Oh in time.

Ryuzaki and Matsuda watched the girl leave; both had worrying glints in their eyes. Watari sighed and Soichiro ignored them all, silently giving the girl props for making some damn good food.

7:00 A.M.:

Kagome sighed as she put her hair up into a messy bun, zipping up her thick jacket as she quickly strode out of the bathroom and towards her apartment door.

"Bye Kagome-chan!" Matsuda said eagerly, passing her in the hallway while he was on his way towards the kitchen. Kagome gave him a weak smile before saying her thanks to her friend.

She exited the apartment and found Ryuzaki already waiting out in the hall for her. His black, winter's jacket over the familiar pair of blue jeans and his worn out tennis shoes.

Kagome sighed as she motioned for Ryuzaki to follow her, and he did just that. L's eyes strayed to her swinging arms, her hands weren't covered by gloves- no, and that wouldn't do. It's too cold out.

Kagome stopped walking when something grabbed her left hand. She looked back at Ryuzaki, who looked as stoic and uninterested as always, although he was staring at her. She blushed under his gaze and started walking towards the elevator once again.

"Why are you holding my hand, Ryuzaki-kun?" Kagome whispered, cringing slightly at how high-pitched it seemed.

"You are not wearing gloves, and it is very cold outside." He dug into his pocket, holding out one glove for her right hand. "I'll wear a glove on my left hand, and you wear one on your right. And our intertwined hands can share body heat."

Kagome blushed again and nodded, biting on her lip as they stood waiting for the elevator to reach her floor.

"Thank you, Ryuzaki… You know you didn't have to get to the university so early."

"I know; I just didn't see the reason to wait later then what I could've when we are both going to the same place. Besides, your classes don't start for another hour, I could keep you company. We haven't had a… Bonding moment for quite a while." Ryuzaki stated. Kagome nodded slightly, stepping into the elevator first and pressing the "1" button for the first floor.

Ryuzaki stood next to her, his (considerably bigger) hand enveloped her smaller and petite one completely and surrounded them in their warmth, blocking it from the harsh and bitter cold that soon awaited the pair.

Kagome and Ryuzaki walked to the train station just a few blocks away once they left the apartment building.

Then they sat on the train next to each other (and Kagome was actually really surprised when L didn't sit like he normally did, instead sitting with his back straight and his feet firmly placed on the ground, their fingers still intertwined.)

"Ryuzaki…" Kagome whispered, her head going near his, he turned his attention to her and leaned down to hear her whispers better. "Are you actually… Nervous?" Kagome bit her bottom lip, smiling up at him as she stared into his dark gray eyes, entertaining the thought that the cool, calm, and collected (and famous detective) L- was nervous.

Although if he lied to her, he might as well kiss that Head Quarters goodbye. He sighed and slumped against the seat, finding more entertainment in their intertwined hands then her stunningly beautiful (and exotic) blue eyes. His thumb brushed against her healthy pale skin. So soft, so smooth….

"You are, aren't you?" Kagome's head got closer to his own, and he found that he didn't really mind the closeness as much as he would've with any other person. He held her stare with his own before nodding slightly.

"Hai. I am not used to being this… Social with anyone other than Watari and the days when I was in the orphanage as a child. Even if it is only a test, it's a test on a very big university's campus with many other people there as well. No doubt I would probably be one on the oldest." He whispered back to her.

Kagome was in a state of shock, if her wide eyes and open mouth were anything to go by. Slowly her expression changed from shock into that of a small smile, her features softened as she stared at the older male, who in that moment looked smaller, younger, and weaker than what he really was.

His chin was tilted down towards his chest; one hand was fiddling with his jacket while his other held her hand.

Even the most stoic of people needed to feel like human's sometimes, she guessed. But that was why she liked Ryuzaki, he was human. He reminded her of Sesshoumaru-aniki, but he was, 100%, human.

He felt nervous because he was scared. He, scared? How adorable!

"Ryuzaki.." Kagome giggled, resting her head on his shoulder as she looked up at him. His eyes casted a glance at her and he held her stare, she smiled brightly in return. "It's perfectly normal to be scared when taking a test as important as this one. I get nervous every day when I get on this train and head to To-Oh."

Ryuzaki stared at the girl- no, woman. He could feel the curve of her waist, her chest pressing against his sides- (He's a man, he has no shame.) She was attractive, very attractive; he's not ashamed to admit it. Her hair was glossy and tinted blue in the sunlight, her top lip wasn't completely full, but it was noticeably plump and inviting looking, along with her bottom lip that was just a rosy shade darker than her top lip.

Her teeth were white, and there was the slightest hint of a gap on her two front teeth- which made her seem even more adorable. Her blue eyes were big, inviting, and just always seemed to be shining with laughter or adoration.

Ryuzaki blushed and turned his head away from the woman, hoping to hide his blush. It didn't work, she saw his blush. She giggled softly at his embarrassment and kissed his cheek, sitting back in her seat and giving his hand a squeeze as she stared out the window and the passing scenery.

He gave another quick glance at her before giving her hand a squeeze back.

Kagome smiled.

Kagome looked at her watch as she and Ryuzaki sat in the café on the campus by the testing center. Ryuzaki was enjoying a slice of cake, sitting the way he liked with his tennis shoes on the ground beneath their booth. She gave a quick peek underneath the table- and sure enough, his toes were wiggling in excitement as he bit into and savored the angel's food cake with chunks of strawberries in it.

Kagome giggled again, sipping her own coffee and biting into a cookie she had bought.

L watched her eat from behind his bangs and wild hair, his eyes zeroing in on her lips that had a few cookies crumbles on them.

Ryuzaki licked his own lips, stuffing another, and precisely cut, piece of cake into his mouth to distract himself from the sudden "butterflies in his stomach" as the term would go.

At least she was eating, that was good, right?

"Ok, you have everything, right? You have the pencils, the calculator, your-" Ryuzaki took her counting fingers and brought them down from her chest. She looked up at him and he gave an amused chuckle.

"Yes, Kagome-chan, I have everything I need. I am even ten minutes early for the test." He didn't remove his hands from her own right away, instead looking at them. Kagome blushed as she looked at their grasped hands, she looked back up at him a moment later to find him staring at her once again.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she nibbled on her bottom lip, her tongue swiping at it before disappearing back into her mouth. Ryuzaki watched the movement with rapt interest, before his gaze snapped back up to her eyes. Kagome blushed and looked down once again, enjoying this moment of silence and understanding between them.

"You better be going to your first class, Kagome-chan…" Ryuzaki trailed off, Kagome blinked owlishly at him before nodding slightly.

"O-Oh… Right, I'll see you at the apartment, alright?"

He gave another amused chuckled and patted her head, his hand lingering there before cupping her cheek. She blushed brightly once again, though this time her eyes were captured by his own gaze.

He did something that she wasn't expecting, though he didn't seem like himself all day today either- He kissed her cheek.

"I'll see you later tonight, Kagome-chan." He mumbled, his thumb brushing against her rosy cheeks as he turned around and walked towards the Testing Center, his form slowly hunching the further away he got.

Kagome brought a hand up to her cheek, her blush growing brighter as she turned around and walked towards the other buildings, she bit her lip.

His lips were surprisingly soft…

Ryuk did his best to hide his cackle, he really did. But it was just so god damn good to see Kagome again! And when she was with that guy, acting all lovey-dovey like, he was surprised he didn't pop a lung with how badly he was holding in his laughter as he floated behind Light.

His eyes trailed after the girl as her name and interesting life-spand faded out of view into a different building.

It was just all too good!

A/N: Yay! More Kagome/L fluff :) And this isn't a filler chapter this time! (I think...) Please review, to be fair this is also one of the longest chapters in the story so far :)

...

I don't think this will be done by 60 chapters... And that is just the manga's (and one anime episode but you'll figure out which one later) up until L dies! So don't even get me STARTED on the rest of the manga's!

I'm gonna die T.T

(There will be a sequal to this story, just for those of you who were wondering, but that's not for a LOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGG ass time...)
