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 28

If you write, "Die of Disease" like before with a specific disease's name, but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23-day rule will not take effect and the human will die at an adequate time depending the disease.

When rewriting the cause and/or details of death it must be done within 6 minutes and 40 seconds. You cannot change the victim's time of death, however soon it may be.

January 26, 2004; At Kagome's Apartment:

With Kagome:

Ryuzaki obviously knew she was lying, so why did he not question her on it? The Kira case was at a momentary stand still, no one was at her apartment to stop him from questioning her. She was fidgety all morning, just waiting…. And waiting…. And waiting!

She really needed to work on her patience.

Kagome sighed once again, unable to focus on the TV, and her mind obviously betraying her and going back to Saturday when she had accidentally walked in on Ryuzaki getting ready to take a shower. Kagome's blush spread across her cheeks once again and she hid underneath her blanket as she was curled up on the couch, trying to watch a program but obviously failing.

Ryuzaki was in the chair next to the couch, typing away at his laptop as his eyes scanned the screen; his eyes flickered over to the lump on the couch before switching back over to the screen.

He, of course, was checking the Wammy student polls for his possible next successor, of course Mello and Near would be neck-and-neck. With Matt a close third.

Surprising really, since the red haired boy played video games all day long. L resisted the urge to sigh himself, and stomped down his impeding curiosity with Kagome and her past. He knew she was waiting for him to question her about it, and did he ever want to sedate his thirst for knowledge on her past, wanting to know every little detail, what made her tick.

"Kagome-chan, may I have a moment of your time?" Ryuzaki asked, licking his dry lips. Kagome groaned out and shifted beneath the blankets, obviously listening to him. "I must ask, why did you not tell me I had passed the entrance exams with flying colors?"

The apartment was silent for a moment (except for the TV) as Kagome shifted slightly in her spot.

"Why was your name Hideki Ryuga?" Kagome asked weakly, peaking her head out from underneath the blanket, her blue eyes seemed tired and red around the rims.

"For purposes that I'll explain to you at a later date." Ryuzaki said, biting on his thumb nail, Kagome snorted slightly and turned over on the couch, so her face was buried in the cushions.

"That's what I thought." She mumbled tiredly into them, but he still heard. He sighed slightly and sat his laptop off to the side; he stood up and walked the short distance to her couch before sitting down on the floor in front of the couch.

He looked at the back of her head for a moment before he poked her.

She didn't respond.

He poked her again.

And again, she didn't respond.

He poked her once more in the shoulder, and then the lower back, once in the neck before trailing his finger from her neck to her shoulder once again. Kagome visibly shivered at this, before arching her back and turning to face him, annoyance (and amusement) shone in her eyes as she pouted at him.

Amusement danced in Ryuzaki's own dark grey orbs as he crossed his arms on the couch cushions and rested his chin in the crook of them. They stared at each other for a few moments; the TV itself went silent as it switched over to a new program.

"Kagome…." L whispered, his sugary breath washing over her cheeks. Kagome's eyes started to water a bit more; her shoulders sagged as her breathing became a bit more labored.

"Ryuzaki… I feel like a stranger in my own home, I don't know Matsuda, Aizawa, Mogi, Watari, Soichiro, Ukita, or… Even you." She whispered hoarsely, her bottom lip trembled. "I feel trapped in my home, I don't know you. I don't know who you are. Who are you? Are you someone I can trust? Are you someone that I shouldn't associate with? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! I don't understand your motives for figuring me out! I don't understand your fascination with someone like me! I don't understand why! Why, dammit Ryuzaki. Tell me why!"

By the end of her rant, Kagome was sitting up on the couch, close to tears as she stared down at him, her face flushed in embarrassment and anger. Ryuzaki only stared up at her, straightening his back and sitting up on his knees more so he was once again taller than her (but more at an eye level.)

Her bottom lip continued to tremble as she stared at him, he continued to stare down at her with an almost impassive look, but his eyes flickered between her own, assessing her, calculating her-

-Judging her.

She closed her eyes tightly, unable to stand that look.

"Don't look at me that way." She mumbled, slowly opening up her eyes as she looked down at his chest.

"What way?"

"You know what way." She bit out. "The way that you study the person body language to see what mood they are in or what action they will most likely make, trying to get inside their mind to pick them apart from the very core! Assessing them, judging them! Don't look at me that way-"

He cut her off by grabbing her chin and tilting it up so she could look at him in the eye again. She stopped short, her mouth hanging open slightly and the intensity of the stare he was giving her. And she felt like she was drowning in her reflection in his eyes… Where those the tiniest specks of grey in those coal black eyes?

Oh! There are more specks of grey!

"Then how, Kagome enlighten me please, do you suppose I look at you?" Ryuzaki's voice was quiet, like a whisper to lover, only meant for her to hear…. Kagome's cheeks turned hot with that thought, the blood rushing quickly to her cheeks, the heat radiating off her skin that even Ryuzaki felt it.

Kagome opened her mouth, closed it, gulped, and kept it closed. Ryuzaki raised his eyebrow challengingly, waiting for her to answer him.

"I- I…." She gasped out, feeling out of place once again and feeling small against him, her anger, frustration, and irritation vanished once she was entranced by his eyes.

Her mouth twisted as she gulped again.

"Just… Don't look at me like I'm the enemy, like I'm going to attack you." She whispered. They were quiet once again, and the TV turned off on its own. Ryuzaki stared at her, and Kagome lowered her eyes once again.

His grip on her chin lessened slightly, but she didn't try to remove her head from his hand.

Her shoulders slumped once again; her bangs came over to cover her eyes.

"Lawliet." L said. Kagome's head snapped up to his, her eyes wide as she stared at him in confusion.

"Wh-what?"

His eyes softened, they didn't seem like they were assessing her anymore, he slowly removed his hand from her chin, and sat back down on his knees as he stared up at her.

"Lawliet, my name is L Lawliet." His voice was soft spoken, Kagome's eyes watered slightly as she smiled, she cupped his cheek and ran her thumb across his smooth and soft feeling skin.

"Kagome Higurashi, it's a pleasure to meet you, L Lawliet. Please, do call me Kagome."

He smiled up at her, one of those weak ones that showed sincerity.

"As long as you call me Ryuzaki and Hideki Ryuga at To-Oh in the Spring."

Kagome laughed, offering her hand, he took her hand in his and they shook.

"Agreed."

A/N: I'm actually pretty dang proud of this chapter :) I hope you guys enjoy it too! Please review! And if you'd be so kind to share your ideas for what could possibly happen later in the story, I might find one I would like and could possibly use it! (with the proper creditentials of course.)

Any one seem interested?
