6This is a revised version of the previous one-shot. It is based on a story I am currently working on and hopefully the first chapter of that story will be uploaded by the end of the week. Please check back for the story!
Who was this girl?
L watched her from the sidelines as she interacted with his Kira suspect at their table. He and Light was in a café having lunch when she ran into them. Introductions soon followed since Kira did not know the woman currently licking chocolate ice cream off her spoon. He had excused himself to the restroom to observe the two from afar.
She was a little younger than him, about Yagami-kun's age if he wasn't mistaken, and he wasn't. L leaned against the wall of the hallway that opened into the dining area, gazing at the two. The girl, Higurashi Kagome, has saved his life when he was hit by a truck. There was the probability that she had tried to pull him out of the way of the incoming vehicle because his injuries were not nearly severe enough for a head-on collision. However, he didn't remember anyone being on the street at the time. Nothing was ever that simple when it involved him, either. It was especially irksome that she wanted nothing in return for saving his life. She only seemed to be concerned for his wellbeing. Was that even possible? Would a total stranger willingly aid someone without ulterior motives?
L studied her more closely. Her eyes seemed to shine with happiness as she laughed into her spoon at something Kira said. Higurashi has lightly tanned, clear skin, long black hair, and a fairly athletic figure. She lived on her own in an apartment approximately six kilometers away from his hotel, not that it was important. She had a few friends and a sibling, probably a brother, based on a phone conversation he overheard before. That's where his intel ended. He knew nothing else about this girl. She had no online social networking, no previous address, no education or medical records, nothing. Someone had wiped her information from every database he could hack into.
Yagami-kun smiled at her and L stiffened. It was a seemingly innocuous act to anyone else who saw, but he knew better. Kira was planning something that involved her. Without another thought, L wandered back to the table and took a seat in between the two teens.
"Would you like some, Hideki-san?" Higurashi smiled at him, offering her partially melted ice cream to him.
"No, thank you, Higurashi-san," He declined, never taking his eyes off Yagami-kun. If Higurashi really was just a kind person, he would do everything in his power to make sure she didn't fall into Kira's clutches. He would protect her and everyone else from the menace called Kira.
