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.

The names you see with the eye power of a God of Death are the names needed to kill that person. You will be able to see the names even if that person isn't registered in the family registration.

January 28, 2004, Yagami Household

Sayu opened the door, letting Kagome and the strange man with Kagome into the home. Sayu looked at the strangely dressed and hunched man who followed behind Kagome soon after, but shrugged it off and closed the door.

"Sayu, what exactly do you want me to do?" Kagome asked the young girl. Sayu bit her lip and looked up at Kagome shyly; she kicked the ground with her sock covered feet.

"Souta's your brother; do you think you could, you know, talk to Light?" Kagome's heart stopped and her eyes widened. She quickly casted a glance at L before looking back at Sayu.

"Yeah, I can do that… But first I want you to meet someone. His name is Hideki Ryuga-" Kagome turned to L, motioning to Sayu. "L, this is Souta's friend Sayu, I need to talk to her older brother, Light for a moment. You don't mind waiting, do you?" L shook his head, he stared at the younger girl as she shifted nervously, and he had to admit that she was very beautiful for her age, but even in sweatpants Kagome outshined her.

"That is perfectly fine, Kagome. Please, do take your time." L said, his dark eyes focusing once again on Kagome. She smiled that tired smile that she couldn't force an hour ago, took off her shoes, and walked up the stairs.

Sayu and L were stuck in the same room together, an awkward silence settled between the two even when Kagome's footsteps on the stairs echoed and faded.

"So…." Sayu started off lamely, on edge from Ryuga's piercing black stare. "Would you like to sit down, Hideki-san?" Sayu asked, L nodded and kicked his shoes off, already heading in the direction of the living room. Sayu's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

Why that- Who does he- "WHAT?!" Sayu shrieked, chasing after him. "It's not nice to wander around people's homes, you know!"

"Oh, I know quite well Yagami-san, but you made no move to show me where it was. Besides, the layout of this home is pretty standard, seen one you've seen them all."

"Why you-"

"Do you have any cake, Yagami-san?" L said, already seated on the couch, watching some drama on the TV when Sayu entered the room. Her face fell and she nodded.

"Hai, we do." She mumbled.

"And please, call me Ryuga."

"Hai, Ryuga-san."

"Please, just Ryuga."

"Hai…" She mumbled trudging into the kitchen to get the guest a piece of cake.

"Do you have strawberries as well?"

"Where would we get strawberries this time of year?" Sayu snapped.

"The store."

Sayu's head hung from her place in the kitchen. Who the hell did this guy think he was?

With Kagome

Kagome slowly walked up the stairs, her hand on the railing as it slid up as she went up. She made contact with the carpeted ground; she turned towards the room where she could feel the most darkness coming from.

She shivered in anticipation, she could feel the confusion in the air and it came off in waves. It was almost sickening, a heavy weight on her chest.

Kagome let out a breath and knocked on the door. The confusion doubled and irritation leaked into the aura, it put her nerves on edge and her fists clenched at her sides.

"Come in." Kagome's heart stopped beating when that voice answered her, the dark aura vanished all together, and the air was cleaner.

That wasn't supposed to happen.

With Light and Ryuk

Light didn't go to school today, he couldn't. How could he? He had saw on the news that a young teenaged boy was stealing money to help pay for hospital bills for his mother. He was conflicted, but not only because of this- oh no, no, no, no, no….

This boy was Souta Higurashi, Sayu's school mate, and if he was right on how she acted when she talked about him, her school crush.

How could he do that to his sister? To take him away from her?

But there was also the fact that he stole, he broke law.

But then again he only did it for his mother, who was having a hard time paying for bills.

He sighed, and put the pen down again and leaned back in his computer chair, staring at the shifting computer screen with the Higurashi boy's solemn face from the news. His brown eyes were tired, he wasn't smiling, and he was the picture of regret and desperation.

Ryuk chuckled on the bed behind him, chewing on an apple as he had propped himself up with one arm.

"Giving you troubles, Light? This is one of the first, right? Since you've made your first with the Death Note?"

Light sighed, drumming his fingers along the edge of his desk.

"You could say that, Ryuk. This kid… He did it to help his mother."

"He's a criminal."

"He's Sayu's crush."

"She'll grow up and older and move on and soon he'll be a figment of everyone's memory…"

Light sighed. "I guess you're right, Ryuk. He is a criminal, and who's to say that he won't do this again? Or even kill someone?"

They sat in silence for a moment longer before the floorboards outside of Light's room creaked. Light's eyes snapped to the door, and soon a knock came from it.

Ryuk looked at Light, amusement clear in his eyes and if his smile was any indicator to anything, this could mean trouble. Light gave a silent smile, of course Sayu stayed home from school like he had today.

"Come in." Light said, flipping the Death Note to a new page and placing his pen on it, changing the computer screen to a word document. He swiveled in his chair to face the door when it creaked open, expecting his younger sister there.

Not the woman who he had seen just a week or so before.

His eyes visibly widened when he saw her standing there, her hair pulled back into a pony tail, a sweatshirt hanging off her shoulders, her jeans tucked into her boots, and her eyes didn't have that flare of life they had last time he'd seen her.

"You… What are you doing here?" Light asked, breathless. Her eyes avoided his, glancing over to his bed where Ryuk laid, then back to him. Light wasn't worried; he knew she couldn't see Ryuk.

"I was here visiting your sister… You know, seeing how she was doing since I knew she and Souta were close. She excused herself to the kitchen and told me to see if you'd like anything to eat… I never properly introduced myself, I'm Higurashi Kagome." Her hand came out in front of her for Light to shake; he got up and took her hand.

"Yagami Light, pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Like wise." Kagome smile didn't quite reach her eyes and was a bit forced, but that didn't seem to bother him much.

"That boy on the news… Is he your brother?" Light asked. Kagome's smile vanished and she closed the door.

"He is no criminal." Her voice was stern, her smile was a frown, and her eyes were turned into a glare. Light sat back down in his chair while Kagome took a seat at the edge of the bed, next to Ryuk's feet.

"If I had known he would pull such a stunt I would've contributed money… My mother never talked about how bad the bills were, neither did Gramps, and I haven't seen Souta since Christmas."

The room was silent, even Ryuk didn't chuckle. Light leaned forward in his chair, his fingers coming up in front of his mouth.

"But he is a criminal."

Kagome's eyes shut as her head dipped down towards her chest, tears threatened to leak from her eyelashes as the reality of the conversation came to settle on her shoulders.

She was talking to Kira, and he was going to kill her brother.

Souta….

With L and Sayu

Sayu sat on the other side of the couch as L had a mouth full of chocolate cake. Sayu leaned closer to him, wondering if he would ever answer her question.

"Are you related to the famous singer Hideki Ryuga?" Sayu asked again. L refused to answer, instead focusing on the TV.

When the channel switched on its own, he almost groaned out at who was on the screen.

"Are you related to that man there?" Sayu asked again, pointing at the screen. "You can't possibly be related to him! You share no similarities whatsoever!"

L sighed at the turn the situation took.

Hopefully Kagome was having more luck with whatever situation she was in….

With Kagome, Ryuk, and Light

Light continued to stare at the woman, her shoulders were shaking and Ryuk was chuckling. Her jaw clenched as well as her fists.

Her bangs covered her eyes her mouth still twisted into a frown.

"I don't know what drove him to do this, but Souta doesn't deserve to be killed by Kira. None of those criminals do. Not unless they do something so unforgiveable. Like rape a child. I cannot forgive them for that, but when it's something like this… When they're only trying to help their family…." Her shoulders slumped.

"You know that three quarters of the people Kira has killed have been innocent?" Kagome spoke up after another moment of silence.

Light jerked back in his chair, his hands twitched slightly. Ryuk burst out laughing.

Kagome's frown turned up into a small smile, maybe Souta could be saved after all….
