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 32:

If someone possesses more than one Death Note, by visualizing the victim, then writing it down the name in one of the Death Notes and the cause of death in the other, it will take effect. The order however, is unimportant, if you write down the cause of death in one Death Note and afterwards, write the name in the other, it will still take effect.

This can also be accomplished by two Death Note owners working together. In this case, it's necessary that the two touch each other's Death Notes.

January 29, 2004 (Kagome's Apartment)

3:04 AM

L tossed and turned on the couch, his fingers twitching as his dream played out. His feet twitched and his neck jerked, causing another soft settled groan to come from him. Kagome stood awkwardly in her kitchen, filling up her glass of water to settle her parched throat.

She half wondered if she should get a picture of him like this while she had the chance. L, sleeping? It just simply wasn't heard of.

Ever.

She gulped the glass down and tiptoed over to where he slept. He rolled over again so his face was away from the back of the couch. She sighed as she sat in the armchair closest to his head; she placed the blanket that was in it on top of him. She yanked his head up and pushed a pillow underneath, letting his head plop back down.

She sighed as he snored, his movements ceasing as he finally fell into a deep sleep.

"You're so strange, Lawliet…" Kagome murmured to herself, folding her arms on the armchairs arm and putting her head in them, folding into a little ball next to him in the chair. She sighed and nuzzled into her arms, thankful that the heater was warmer tonight.

"Must've been some nightmare" Kagome yawned, and her eyes drooped. "Night, L. Hope you don't have any more bad dreams… Love you…" Her voice trailed off, sleep claiming as quickly as it had awoken her.

L's coal black eyes blinked dazedly before he sat up and looked at the woman next to him on the chair. A blush stained his cheeks and he silently grumbled to himself about women and how considerate they were. He grabbed a blanket from the edge of the couch and draped it over Kagome, who was now sleeping soundly in the chair next to him. He rolled his eyes and pulled his own blanket higher up, moving the pillow from underneath his head to put it underneath Kagome's.

He looked around the floor, finding a small pillow on the ground by the chair. He set it over his arm and plunked his head down much like Kagome had moments before. He gave a quiet sigh and closed his eyes, thankful that she was nearby and that the nightmares were gone.

5:08 AM

Kagome groaned and stretched out her legs, laying sideways in the chair as she blinked at the ceiling in confusion. Slowly she remembered coming out here a few hours before to cover up L.

Wait- L! He was asleep! L was actually asleep! She sat up and looked over at the couch; L was up as well, though by the looks of it he had been up for a little while.

"Umm… Morning."

"Morning, Kagome." He mumbled, scratching at his head.

"Where is everyone?"

"I gave them two days off since there was a stall in the case and you were in no position to be around that many people." L said, rubbing his neck now. Kagome blinked and blushed, turning her head away in the semi-dark as the sun barely started to lighten the sky.

"Once again you were looking out for me…" She mumbled, L looked at her curiously.

"Hmm?"

"Why?"

"Elaborate?"

"You do so much out of your way and out of the cases way just to make sure I could be content with the situation. I want to know why you do this."

L was quiet for a few minutes as he pieced together what he could gather as an acceptable answer… Though he didn't really have one, he gave a light shrug of his shoulders and she sighed.

"May I ask you a question?" L suddenly asked her, Kagome blinked and nodded as she got up and moved towards the kitchen where she began to make coffee and a possible early breakfast.

"Only if you'll answer mine." She replied from the kitchen. L got up and moved to sit on a bar stool. Kagome worked deftly in the dark and flitted about the kitchen with practiced ease, and L silently had to wonder where the clumsy girl form a few months ago went.

"Fair trade, I guess it's a game of twenty questions. How was your home life as a child?" L asked, sitting in his usual way on the bar stool as his eyes easily found her figure through the open blinds from the sitting room where they both slept.

"Well… It was average, I suppose. Born in November, lived in an average neighborhood- actually it was the one Light and Sayu live in now, just a few houses down. My father and Mother never fought with each other so they got along great. My dad used to work as a police officer actually, which is ironic because a group of ex officers practically live in my apartment; just before I turned six my mother got pregnant so dad moved us out of our too-small of a house and in at the shrine where his father and mother lived as the priest and priestess, telling stories of legend's past and trying to sell their little objects."

Kagome turned the stove on and turned the light on over the sink so she could watch the stove carefully.

"When Momma was six months pregnant Dad died in a car crash, leaving us all alone. And when Souta was a little over a year old Grandma died, Gramps was heartbroken and started to turn a little senile, but he still forced his smiles and soon he got over his wife's death; I moved school's when we moved, and before the move I was actually going to the same school Light was. Granted we were four grade levels apart…" Kagome sighed, wondering what else to say.

"Souta grew up to be a sweet kid, playing soccer out in the courtyard of the shrine almost every morning during breaks. He even had his first kiss in grade school." Kagome laughed softly at this, smiling slightly. "I didn't have mine until I was 15, blinded by love and the princely image he gave off, even though brash and rude." Kagome's smile turned forced a little bit as she worked with eggs and the coffee pot running.

"Who, may I ask?" L asked quietly, Kagome looked back at him and smiled over her shoulder.

"InuYasha, he was my best friend."

"Was?"

"…." Kagome looked back down at the eggs and put some bacon as well, putting the eggs on a dish and serving some to L. "Umm, yes. He was my first love but I was not his. He was still in love with his first love, Kikyo… But she died of unfortunate events and so he felt that he owed Kikyo his life… That didn't happen, since he's still around today, but he has not bedded any other female, and he never will."

L was confused at first at how she had said "bedded" and not slept or married, InuYasha couldn't be… Quillish said that if there was they were very old or very good at disguising themselves…. He of course was no fool when it came to their species though… Often enough having clashed brain's with a child of one or an orphan child of one.

But if Kagome knew about demons… She really could be of great use in the Kira case because of her connection to the supernatural!

"Kagome, you may ask me a question if you would like." L said as he finished his eggs, Kagome nodded and put her plate down by the stove.

"Alright, what happened to your parents?"

"They were killed unexpectedly by a mentally ill patient at the hospital they both worked at, Roger was a friend of theirs and therefore I ended up with Quillish." L said, studying her movements. Kagome nodded, flipping the bacon before tapping her chin in thought.

"How did you get so good at what you do?" Kagome asked; L shifted in his stool before making eye contact with Kagome.

"Quillish, Roger, influences throughout the orphanage… And a few outside on the field. It was your cousin actually that hinted at me learning a certain fighting style."

"Really?" Kagome asked surprised, L had worked with her cousin before? L actually exercised?

"I know it's hard to believe, Kagome. Me? Go outside at all? Seems strange, I agree." A teasing smile played against his lips and Kagome stared in amazement.

"Sometimes I forget that you're a human being with thoughts and feelings, and not some robot." She said, crossing her arms. L blinked at her and stared at her with those endless coal grey eyes of his.

"Kagome, do answer me truthfully because I do know when you're lying, you're a terrible liar, you know." L said as he leaned forward in his chair slightly, he needed to know and watch her person carefully.

"Alright." She didn't seem happy about the challenge, but had no displeasures to voice at the moment so he took the opportune moment of silence to ask her.

"Are your friends InuYasha and Shippou demons?"

The silence in between the two was almost deafening as Kagome stared at L with wide eyes and stalled breath.

"I know all about them, Kagome. Wammy's orphanage is one for the brilliant minded, how much could one demon gather within 160 human years yet they barely reach adolescence?"

Kagome continued to stay silent, rubbing her arms as a lump formed in the back of her throat.

"Kagome, please. What could I possibly do to your friend's that hasn't happened to them already?"

Kagome slowly slid onto the floor of the kitchen, leaning her head back against the wood of the cabinets.

"Nothing… There's nothing you can do to make their lives any worse, killing them would be a saving grace even."

L stayed quiet as Kagome's eyes closed for a little bit, she opened them again and looked straight up at him.

"What do you want to know?"

L stood up and moved around to sit next to her, but when she didn't scoot away from him when he sat he brought his arm around her and sat her in his lap so she wouldn't be on the cold tile floor. She smiled weakly at him.

"Is there supernatural forces working on this case, Kagome?"

Kagome swallowed and nodded.

"What are they?"

"S-shinigami…"

"Shinigami?"

"Hai." She sighed, making herself comfortable in his warmth. "The Shinigami's name is Ryuk, he was bored and he dropped his Death Note here in the Human Realm…" And so began her long tale of Shinigami, how Light and Ryuk got messed up, and how she got suddenly dragged in and how she accidently met Sayu.

"So, the Shikon no Tama legends…" L said slowly. Kagome nodded solemnly.

"They're true, too…"

"InuYasha…"

"Dog demon from the story…"

And so began another long and tiring tale; Kagome, not being used to talking for such long periods of time had gotten them glasses of water and tea and moved out into the front room. The brief pause was made for gathering themselves and moving to the couch where L slept earlier. A blanket spread over the two as she leaned back into the couch while holding onto her cup of tea. L sat on the other side of the couch and sipped his sugary syrupy substance as she slowly started to continue again.
