Anime: InuYasha/Death Note

Pairing: Kagome/Matsuda

Rating: M (Language, Adult Themes)

Summary: Matsuda was the underdog. That was how it was in the Police Station, and that's how it is at the Kira Headquarters. Matsuda never had much luck and was always being laughed at for his slow responses to the apparent obvious. So it comes to a shock to him when the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen...crashes into him…literally. After taking care of his cars insurance and assuring the girl that he is indeed okay, he makes his way to the Headquarters, unaware that he is being followed…by the very same girl…who only wants to make it up to him. L however seems to have other things in mind for this girl who learned the location of his Headquarters.

A/N...sorry...Devil's/Note: That way you know who is talking to you. Alright, so, first...HI GUYS! HI GIRLS! Now, I and a few Fanfiction Authoresses have decided to get together and...Write a story.

Chapter One

Crash of Reality

-x-x-x-

He had started to think of it as a routine. Go to work, listen to Ryuzaki explain some complicated matter that could be said in fewer words and less complex, like he made it, then figure out what he said all together minutes after the others already did...which only served to make them stare at him when he commented on his understanding.

So why was he still taking the verbal abuse and put downs on his intellect? Because...he had to prove them wrong...it really was as simple as that. He had been an officer for the Tokyo Police Station for only a short while...well, he wasn't new, he was just new compared to them, which in the end...made him the underdog of the group.

This supposed routine started off the same way as every other day. He woke up and took a shower, got dressed and made up his bed. He brushed his teeth then ate a quick breakfast before checking his reflection in the mirror and leaving for work.

That's the only part of the day that was routine to him. He got in his car and drove towards headquarters. Halfway there he stopped for coffee and continued to Headquarters. He was almost there when―

-CREEEEEE- -CRASH-

Matsuda held onto the wheel as his car spun from the impact across the intersection and stopped in the grassy area next to the road. His heart was racing a mile a minute and for a second he thought he might die by heart attack without the help of Kira. He slowly released the driver's wheel and opened the door of his car, stepping out he noted the black skid marks on the road and the blown left back tire. The right side of his car was totaled, completely thrashed.

Looking across the road he saw the other car and the person inside not moving. He jogged over to the car and opened the door.

He turned to the onlookers who had gathered around the accident. "Call an Ambulance!" He shouted, unbuckling the safety belt he gently pulled the unconscious person from the car. Her head fell back against his shoulder and for a moment he stared captivated at her.

"Wow..."

"The Ambulance is on its way!" Someone called from behind him. He snapped out of his daze and carefully carried her out of the car and handed her to a bystander. Matsuda pulled his suit's jacket off and laid it on the hot asphalt before taking her and laying her body on the fabric.

"Will she be okay?" A woman asked as she moved next to him. He ignored the woman's question and instead went on with police protocol. Having already broken one, he wasn't supposed to move her...and he did. He started the ABC of First Aid and checked her airway, breathing, and circulation. From afar he could here the sirens and distress signals.

"She should be fine, just a bump on her forehead from what I can tell. She may have minor damage to the skull or mentality, but I'm not a doctor, I can only guess." An ambulance pulled up to them and a few men in white uniforms and one girl climbed out. They made their way over to her with a stretch bed and lifted her on before taking her to the Ambulance.

"I'm going with her!" Matsuda said, grabbing his jacket and following.

"Sir you don't have―" Matsuda flashed his badge and pointed at his car.

"I have no way to work much less anywhere else. I also want to make sure she's alright." He said, placing the badge back in his shirt. The paramedic looked at him before turning to his partner and nodding his consent. Matsuda climbed in and watched them hook the girl up to the Ambulance.

-Ring- -Ring- -Rin―

"Hm?" A young man held a cell phone by his thumb and index finger.

"Ryuzaki-San, I'm going to be late, I got in a car crash with a girl."

"Oh?"

"...yes. Uh, could you send someone to get me? My car is totaled. I'll be with her at the Hospital."

"...I suppose. Watari will pick you up."

"Thanks Ryuz―"

"Watari-San, could you please pick Matsu up from the hospital." An elder man bowed respectfully before leaving.

-x-x-x-

"...aki-san..." He looked at the phone and sighed. He had arrived at the hospital about 5 minutes ago. He had followed them up the steps to the girl's room only to be told to wait outside. He had decided to call for a ride, though, he was a little annoyed when L hung up on him.

"Sir, can I get you to fill this out?" A nurse said as she walked up to him.

"Uh...sure." He glanced down and started filling out the sheet with his false identity and information. When he finished he gave it to the nurse as the doctor walked out.

"Is she―"

The man held a hand up. "She will be fine. Only a bump on the head, she may be a little dizzy when she wakes up, but nothing a good rest wont cure."

"Good."

"You can go in and see her if you want." The man said before leaving. Matsuda nervously walked into the room and shut the door behind him. He looked at the girl lying down, her hair was scattered about from the accident. He frowned and looked at the pendent around her neck. It was the Kanji for luck.

"Luck, you are lucky...so am I." He jumped when a finger twitched and the door opened.

"Matsu-San, are you ready to leave?" He looked at the elder man and nodded.

"Come."

"Uh, right." He followed after, unaware of the now conscious girl watching him leave, her cobalt blue eyes followed him till the door shut softly behind him.

"...Matsu..." She climbed out of the bed and stumbled as she stood up.

'Such a pretty glow...he is surrounded by such a pretty...glow.'

-x-x-x-

Matsuda had an odd feeling he was being followed, or watched, one of the two. He climbed in the car and Watari started to question what happened.

"You know, I'm not sure. My car got struck on the side. I spun off the road, check the other car, called the Ambulance and hitched a ride."

"It sounds nobler when the Doctor told me you took care of her while waiting for the Ambulance to arrive."

"...Well, I didn't do much, just the basic procedures." Watari looked at him from the side view mirror but said nothing.

-x-x-x-

The young girl followed the black limo with her eyes from the window as it pulled out of the parking lot.

She grabbed a hold of her pendent's charm and smiled.

"How lucky..."
