Kagome laughed as Touta tried hard to recover from another scolding. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to fight you on everything," she cleared her throat and tried to hide her blush, "so...why did you forget the medication for three days?"

Touta stilled and frowned as he turned his eyes to meet Kagome's, "honestly?"

"Well, that's preferable."

"I'm working on the Kira case...and...I sometimes can't leave the location where we are working."

"No...no Touta, you can't be serious," her face lost color as she thought of the horrific incline of deaths over the past few weeks. "...how long until Kira turns on the police?"

He frowned, "Kira is only killing criminals."

"Until you get too close to catching him; who will he target next? A feral dog knows only to bite when cornered, Touta. This person has no sympathy for human life. There is no compassion in this person, this...thing."

"Thing?"

"I don't really know what to think of Kira. The name given by society. However, I know this...if the person responsible is human, he's got help. Otherwise, no human is capable of killing at such a massive scale."

"...you know, I think you would get along really well with my coworker."

She smiled, "think so?"

His phone suddenly went off and he frowned as he picked it up, "Hello?" He blanched at the sudden voice on the other line, "ah, Ryuzaki-San!"

Kagome barely made out what was being said, "is that your coworker? The one who likes sweets?"

He smiled, the thought that she was paying attention made his heart race. "Mmhm," He frowned suddenly, "n-no, I'm not talking about, well...no, I am talking about you. We were talking about sweets earlier and how you couldn't survive without them. I also mentioned how she'd get along with you because you both think alike. Nothing bad, and nothing...detailed."

"Detailed?" She laughed a bit at that, still walking side by side Touta.

"N-now?! Wait, no, no...I can't bring her."

"Why not?" Kagome smiled, "I'd like to meet this person."

"Eh!?" He looked down at Kagome, then his head shot up, "wait, no, it's not settled, Ryuzaki-San! Ryu-" He held his breath before sighing and dropping his hand at his side as he snapped his phone shut. "Um, he's going to meet us nearby."

"Did he tell you where?"

"...well, about that. He's meeting us at the Café we were walking to already. He was listening the entire time; I guess I'm bugged?" He looked over his clothes and sighed, "so little trust."

"I guess it can't be helped," she smiled, "this person, he must be working desperately to find Kira...right?"

Touta smiled and nodded his head, "yeah, he is. Wait till you see him, he's actually really amazing!"

"You aren't just saying that because he can hear you, are you?"

"N-no! No way!"

She laughed and the two continued walking towards the café.

Waiting about ten minutes after they'd arrived, Kagome heard a bell jingle and she turned away from her Coffee and Cream Chocolate Supreme Cheesecake. Watching as a guy in a white tee and blue jeans walked over to their table and stared down at her for a moment before his eyes drifted to the cake in front of her. She smiled, "order what you will,"

"In moderation!" Touta cried out, "d-don't take a mile when you're given an inch!" He said this boldly, though his cheeks were flushed as he came to the shocking realization that he'd kind of just scolded his boss in front of his hopefully-one-day-soon girlfriend.

"You act as if I can't control myself around sweets, Matsu."

Kagome beamed, "oh how cute! You have nicknames for each other?!"

"Oh, no, no!" Touta waved his hands dramatically, "not really, no, he...uh...it's just..." he sighed and laid his head on the table. He couldn't explain the reason for the name, not while Ryuzaki was there! Hell, he couldn't explain it while he was gone either! Not now that he knew the guy had him bugged.

"Is it...perhaps, due to the investigation?" She smiled as Touta shot his head up and Ryuzaki too turned his eyes curiously to her. "Guess so. I'm not surprised. I guess...if it's something like a Shinigami though, does it matter if you call each other by different names? Can't they see them all the same?"

"...Shinigami?" Ryuzaki put the menu down, no longer interested in the deserts on the page, he gave Kagome his undivided attention.

"Well, probably won't make any sense, but I guess saying this much won't really be a problem. I saw one the other day, it carried with it a Death Note. I can't be sure, but it wrote inside the notebook and a few moments later, a woman died of a heart attack at the hospital I work at. Touta was there...according to the little girl who was being frequently followed by this creature, it was the first time she'd seen him use this book. So, I had wondered if maybe there was another Shinigami roaming around. If so, has it too attached itself to someone, perhaps someone who's interested in playing God." All the while she spoke, she moved her fork back and forth in the cool whip atop her cheesecake. Her eyes playing with the white swirl or sugar. "Though, I'm talking supernatural theory here, ultimately, none of this would hold up in a court of law without viable proof. I worry, if this case proves to be supernatural, as I assume it will, what will you do?"

"..." Ryuzaki chewed lightly on the tip of his thumb, thoughtfully staring at the girl in front of him as he wondered about the steps he would take. Solving a supernatural case wasn't something he had experience in, but he wasn't about to turn a blind eye to it simply because something didn't make sense. If anything, he was more interested in the idea that something otherworldly was involved. "Procuring a confession, that will be the most effective manner of conviction."

"I agree, how will you do it?" She smiled and took a bite of her cheesecake before placing the fork down, lacing her fingers and shaking her head, "actually, it doesn't matter if you explain it to me or not. I'm not an officer or detective, I have no law enforcement in my repertoire of knowledge."

"That's not true! Kagome, you are really smart when it comes to stuff like this,"

She laughed a bit at that, "I guess, I'm just opinionated when it comes to the things your involved in." Turning her eyes to Ryuzaki, she smiled, "please don't let Touta get hurt, Ryuzaki-San. I don't know what I'd do if this guy got caught in Kira's crossfire."

"...you want me to protect him? What of the others on my taskforce?"

She caught that, whether it was a slip up or not, she wasn't sure. However, he said his taskforce. His. "...It's natural to want to keep the people you've grown attached to safe. Isn't it? Aren't their people who you would prioritize over another? That sounds bad, but it's human nature, I think. I want to save the world, it's not possible, so I will save who I can."

"You are really good with your words, Higurashi-San."

'...I didn't give my surname...did I? Hm, guess he really did have Touta bugged.' She sighed, "you think so? Oh, and make sure Touta takes his medicine! I don't care if he's working, he still needs to take his medication!"

Touta blushed and ducked his head.

"...medication?" Ryuzaki frowned and turned his attention to what he'd been viewing as a slow burner for the last few days. He wasn't the brightest among his task force, but he guessed he wasn't the most idiotic either…though close to.

"He has asthma." She spoke firmly, the severity in her tone sent a chill down Touta's spine. "He was rushed to the hospital the other day after having gone three days without his medication."

"...that would be my fault. They hadn't been able to leave, and I hadn't done my research well enough, I was unaware of his condition."

She smiled, "no, it's Touta's fault. He was worried that he would be a hindrance if he mentioned it, but..." she turned her eyes to the flushed faced Touta and sighed, "really, what were you thinking."

"I apologized! I'm sorry, it won't happen again, I promise!"

"I know," she smiled, "I know it won't." She pulled at her blazer and took a card from the inside pocket, sliding it across the table as she gave her contact information to Ryuzaki. "Should anything come up, if you find you need a doctor, please don't hesitate to call."

He lifted the card, "can you reverse a heart attack."

"I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker...I can only do so much. However, my skills are at your disposal should you find you need them."

He nodded.

Kagome stood, "then if you will both excuse me, I should get back to work." She leaned forward and took her bag, kissing Touta on the cheek softly before she turned and left the café with a soft pink flush across her cheeks. The mirror of which lay across Touta's.

"So that's the type of girl Matsu likes."

Touta's blush burned brighter as he was left defenseless against Ryuzaki who stood and made to order a few decadent treats to go.
