Ghosts In My Head
She was only girl that dared to be away from the crowds, while others just go with the flows. Her eyes seem to be so damn observing under that shadow of that gray hood with her hands in her pocket. She is smarter than she looks, though she is failing on a purpose. She knows more than she seems. And not to mention, she cracked many case, so difficult even for L. What is her secret? I need her to be my ally, no matter what her secret is. I need her to be here with me, when L falls from the grace. Yes, I need her.

First Chapter:
Those Who Don't See
…..
"Boring." She grumbled as she tapped her pencil on the desk. Her test was halfway done and she wasn't even trying. Some of the questions were purposely skipped just simply because they was too easy for her to answer. Hardest questions, she answered, but these are the types that if you get the answers right, you get less amount of points than other questions have. It's ridiculous, in her opinion.
"Time's up! Alright! Put down your pencils and hand over your test now!" The teacher called out as he rang the bell. The small groans and complains from the students were getting louder by the seconds as they lined up to the teacher's desk to hand over their tests. "This test is too hard!" One of the students complained out and many other students murmured in agreement. She snorted as she stood in the last of the line. The test's hard?
Yeah, right. It could be the breeze for her if she was determined enough.
'But it's such a drag for me to do so… I ain't gotta do it.' She thought as she held the paper by its edge. Soon, all of other students were gone, leaving her and the teacher alone in the room. "Here, teach." She muttered out loud, handing over the paper to the teacher. "Well, I hope you're doing better this time. You got an awful grade in this class, as well all of other ones you have, Higurashi-san. And please take down that hood." The teacher sighed as he took the test.
"Whatever, Teach." She grunted, not taking her hood down, as she liked it there. The teacher looked mad and was about to scream at her but she was out of the door of the large classroom before he could get a chance.
In the hallway after she took out her standard skateboard out of her locker and tucked it in under one of her armpits, she grumbled out, "What a drag." Not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into the tall man's chest. "Oof… Sorry about that…" She murmured but not bothering to look up to see whom the man she bumped into so she kept on walking, ignoring the man.
"Interesting… So this is Higurashi Kagome? The one cracked all of these most difficult special victim unit cases? She doesn't seem like I thought she was." The dark-haired boy-like man with the bags under his empty looking eyes said to himself. His thumbnail was in between of his teeth. "Hmm… I wondered if I could recruit her… But first, I have to see how she does on the next case." He said to himself as she vanished from his sight.
Outside, where many chatting students were among in the light of the sunshine's rays, she walked alone, bobbing her head as she's listening to her CD player through her large, old-fashioned headphones under of her hood. Her nimble hands in her gray hooded sweater's front pocket as her brown leather messenger bag swung against her hip as she walked among side of the people. Her eyes were closed but eventually opened them as she bumped against an empty bench on her knees.
She made a noise at the back of her neck as she moves to sit down on the bench. Her dark blue eyes turned into electric blue color as the transparent person floated passed her, crying softly, her pale hands cradling her face. That person turned around and saw that the girl with the hood was staring at her. "You can… see me?" The crying female asked softly to her. The hooded girl sighed and removed her headphone and placed it on her neck.
"Of course." Was all she said but with the small sound of regret in her voice. "How…?" The ghostly female asked. The girl with the hood shrugged her shoulders, "I just do." "Can you… help me?" The crying female asked. "Depends." She said to her. "Can you help me find my way to my home? I can't seem to go to where I want to go."
"Sorry, I can't. You're dead now. Deal with it." She said as she stood up and walked away from the fully realized ghost. The ghost sobbed and wailed loudly, rather pitifully. "To move on, you have to look up in the sky to see your light. You're not going to hell so the shinigami won't take you there but you have to go there by yourself." She said, her back to the ghost. "Do you think so…?" The ghost murmured sadly.
"You ain't first one, you know." the hooded girl said as she placed her headphone back on her ears and resumed walking, didn't even bother to hear if the ghost girl have said anything back to her or not. Many ghosts; elders, children, even the people from the past time periods, had appeared in her sight; all moaning and wailing in pain. She stopped.
She quickly shut her eyes to ignore them, until she didn't hear anymore of the wails of the ghosts through her blaring headphone, she slowly opened her eyes again and the colors of her eyes had returned from electric blue to the color of midnight. 'Annoying little pests.' She grumbled in her thought. Once again, she resumed her walking to the normal route to her shrine home, which was thankfully was close to her university.
As soon she was out of the gate of the said university, she threw down her skateboard and rode on it, did a couple of flips as she goes, though as usual, people threw her a strange glance, whispered something to the person that are next to them. Not that she care, she was used to it. After all, she was the one that didn't go with the flow with the crowd; rather, she was against it. And to be frank, she was pretty damn proud of it.
She rode past the alleyway before she heard the screams. She suddenly twisted her skateboard to turn back to where the screams came from and furiously rode her skateboard as she rode it into the dark alleyway. She was never the one to turn back to the person in the need of help.
She noticed the three men were surrounding the small pretty blond haired girl who was screaming for help. 'Great. These hoodlums again… Lin: The dumb fat one. Earl: The biggest idiot with the muscles for brain. And last and worst of them of all, Jackal: The leader with good enough average IQ.' She calculated in her mind, remembering them from her earlier days. The hooded girl stopped in her track and flipped up her skateboard with her foot in her both hands, deciding to use it as her weapon.
The hooded girl sneaked quietly toward them but paused in her act as the whimpering blond girl saw her, but she made a motion with her finger on her lips, signaling her to be quiet. The shaken blond girl nearly nodded, but thought better of it, since the big men didn't know she was there, right behind them. The hooded girl raised her skateboard above the men's heads and slammed it as hard she can on the man's head in the middle, but wasn't enough to knocked him out cold. The two men in between of the man in the middle quickly span around and saw someone they thought they wouldn't see again from their past. "Oh, crap! It's Higurashi!" The man on the left of the fallen man whispered out.
"Hello to you again, you dumb asses!" She grumbled angrily, holding the skateboard in one hand as her other hand turned into the tight ball. "I taught you a lesson last time but you don't seem to listen. So I'll teach you again, you fucking hoodlums!" She spat.
The man in the middle, slowly stood up, holding his now bleeding head and slowly span around to face the hooded girl who was much smaller than him and his two henchmen, and chuckled chuckled, "Hello again, my sweetie. How nice to see you again…" He slowly grinned darkly and quickly flipped his pocketknife out; the silver blade gleamed in the sunlight, as he lunged toward the hooded girl, "So I can kill you for what you did to us!!" He screamed out.
The blond haired girl screamed out, the tears flew out of her sky blue eyes, thinking that her would-be-savior is going to die.
She effectually dodged his knife, fluidly swinging her skateboard in her hand but didn't do anything with it. The man grunted as he fell on the ground on his knees after he missed her. "Hey, you dumbasses! Are you going to help me out or not?!" The man exclaimed, his head turned sideway to glare at the two frozen men. The man on the right shook his head and stuttered out, "No way, man! Remember how she beat us last time?!"
The man on the left yelled out, "Ah, you were always the coward one, Lin! I'm going to kill her right now and here for what she did to us back then!" He reached his own pocketknife and flipped open it, its' blade gleamed out the light, reflecting the light of the sun, which hang high in the clear blue sky. He foolishly slashes his weapon toward the hooded girl, which dodged each one of them, her weapon of choice fluidly go along her movement.
The blond girl sobbed as she slowly descending toward the ground, hoping that her savior is going to save her from the men.
She suddenly ducked as the man, who tried to attack her from earlier, tried to slash off her head from behind. The hooded girl slammed her leg hard against the man's loin, causing him to clench his loins with his hands and groaned as he dropped his knife, which left her only one man to take care of, since the other one, the cowardly Lin, had ran off earlier.
The hooded girl grabbed the knife and throws it across the ground to the blond girl; she said to her, "Use it to protect yourself, just in case they change their mind." The blond girl nodded and grabbed it and clenched it against her chest as if her life depended on it, which in this case, it is.
"Ugh… ugh… Earl! Kill her now!" The man in pain howled out to his remaining henchman. "Yeah, I'm doing it, man!" Earl exclaimed out, not paying attention to the hooded girl. The hooded girl slid through between the standing man's legs, using her skateboard on her back to do so. She flipped off the skateboard, placed her hands on the ground to push herself up, and she slammed both legs on the man's back. She slammed his face flat on the hard ground, hence breaking his nose, which made the loud cracking sounds of bones echoed out in the space.
"Arg! My nose… My nose is bleeding!" Earl moaned as he felt the liquids began to flow out of his nose. "Damn! You are useless after all!" The man screamed out but was knocked out cold because the hooded girl slammed her skateboard for the second time today; finally knock him out cold on the ground. "Good night, Jackal." She grunted as she placed her foot on the back of Earl's neck to the ground, to prevent him from escaping, because she could hear the sirens of the police's cars.
"Earl, you better stay there or I'll kill you." She ordered to the moaning man as she kicked, or rather pounded, against his ribs after removing her foot from his neck. She walked toward the whimpering blond girl, kneeling in front of her, the hooded girl let her long sleeve to covered her nimble hand to brushed away the blond girl's tears, "Hey, you gotta be okay now, babe…" She said softly, knowing that using the soft voice will help the blond girl to realize that everything is okay.
"Oh… Oh!!" The blond girl wailed, threw away the knife onto the ground, and threw herself against the hooded girl, which startled her. She soon snapped out of it and returned the hug to the girl, whispering to her softly, "Hey, it's okay. It's okay…" She cradling to her like a baby, whispering a soft song.
Eventually, the police had came and arrested the men who had assaulted the poor, shaken girl who refused to let go of the hooded girl, who had explained everything that happened earlier. "Yeah, his name is Lin Lockloose. He's a tall but fat man with a bit of sideburns." She said to the police officer, who had asked her what happened instead. They couldn't ask the poor girl who was obviously too shaken up by everything that happened to her today. "Hm, would you mind coming to the police station to explain him to the sketch artist, Higurashi-san?" The police officer asked and the hooded girl nodded as her shoulders shrugged, "Sure will."
"Tch, figure you will since you have another case to check out. Hope you'll do a good job on the case, Higurashi-san." He asked after putting back his notepad in his blue shirt pocket. The hooded girl scoffed, "At least I was smart enough to stay away from you, Miroku." The officer just merely smiled, tipped his hat to her in respect, and returned to his patrol car to talk with his partner.
The blond girl from under the hooded girl's arms, her back to her savior's chest, stuttered out, "Y-you're a… detective…?" The blond girl felt her savior's shoulders shrugged, "In a way, yeah. My uncle works as a commanding chief in Special Victim Units." She said like it was the most obvious thing.
"So… Uhhh… I only got the name, Higurashi, but that's a family name, right?" The blond girl asked, she felt much better now that she found out that her savior is really a true hero. She looked up to her savior's dark eyes. The hooded girl shrugged once again for several times today, "My name is Higurashi Kagome, the sorta detective of SVU… Why the pretty girl likes you doing in that alleyway anyway?" The hooded girl, finally dubbed Kagome, asked the girl, very close to scorning her like an angry parent to a child who had got in trouble.
"Oh… I was supposed to meet my boyfriend here." The blond girl murmured, feeling abandoned because her boyfriend didn't come on time as promised. "Ah. Oh, before I forget, what is your name?" Kagome asked, feeling ticklish because the girl's small pigtails had kept trickling her chin, but that girl refused to leave her savior alone and wanted stay with the warmth she had emitted to the blond girl's bared skin.
Speaking of her skin, she was wearing some sort of a black Lolita dress that revealed a good amount of skin, but truthfully, it looked good on her, almost like a model. "My name is Amane Misa Misa!" The blond girl giggled out and turned around from her back so she can hug her savior. "Gah!" Kagome exclaimed out from the surprise attack hug, her arms nearly flew up. "Thhhaaannkkkk yyyoouuu!!" Misa squealed out, squeezing Kagome nearly to death.
'Damn, this girl is scary. What have I gotten myself into?' She thought as the beads of sweat begun to fall from her forehead when she noticed the strange stares from the surrounding police officers. "Huh… Yeah, you're welcome… Can you let go of me?" Kagome tried her best to wedge her way out of Misa's death grip, seeing that though she was taller than Misa, her body frame is noticeably smaller than her. No damn luck. 'Wow. This girl is tough.'
"Misa!" The voice called out. Misa seemed to recognize the voice and gasped out with the adoration, "Light!" Kagome sighed in relief as Misa left loose of her; her death hugs hurts, bad. Misa ran from her, wanting to meet her boyfriend, who was blocked by a yellow police rope. "Thank… god…" She groaned as she rubbed her ribs, which very nearly crushed by that girl.
Kagome blinked, as she felt the ghostly yet powerful presence behind her. She quickly turned around; her eyes quickly turned into electric blue as she saw the white shinigami that she knew she'd recognized from some time ago, "Rem? What're you doing here?" She asked, surprised that the female shinigami even bothered to show up in the human world other than fetching the dead earth bounded souls.
"Kagome… Thank you." She spoke softly, her yellow eyes warm, as her glance turned to Misa, as she chatted with the handsome boy standing before Misa and the rope. Kagome realized one thing; that girl has a Death Note, the forbidden tool from the other world. "Rem, does that girl have a connection to you; such as a Death Note?"
The white, bony shinigami seem to be hesitated for one moment but eventually nodded, "Yes; though it's not mine, I was the one who delivered it to her." Rem answered her, knowing that the hooded girl won't interfered, no matter how wrong and injustice it was to kill, using that Death Note as a weapon. "Heh. So let me guess, she was one of Kira, isn't it?" Kagome mused as she turned her back to the shinigami just so she won't look strange talking to the alleyway; better if she looked like she was talking to herself.
"Promise me you won't interfere or at least don't say anything about it, Kagome…" Rem whispered to her discreet, by covering her hand on her mouth as she let free of her wings, because she knew that Light was looking at their way. That boy was smart, too smart; she knew she'd fall if she was not very careful. "I won't, Rem." She said, glad that her thick ebony hair, which is out of her hood because her hair is too thick to be able to fit all in her gray hood, too covered her mouth.
She flew away and disappeared in the sky.
"Kagome! Come and meet my boyfriend, Light!" Misa called out for her happily, waving her arm to Kagome to come over. "Coming, coming." She sighed as she walked over to the duo as her eyes returned to normal.
Today was very eventful. Though she liked Misa's 'boyfriend', she got off the strange vibes from him, despite that she already figured out that he was the true Kira, the so-called 'God of Justice'. 'How can you not tell by that by the black shinigami, who was always laughing, hanging around that boy? …Wait, the normal humans can't see them, my bad. I can see him with my eyes, which often called the `Eyes of the Beholder' or 'Ghost Eyes' by shinigami.' Kagome mused, but still regretted that she can see the ghosts and all types of the supernatural beings. It wasn't by her choice, though. She was born with them.
She remembered that one of the unnamed shinigami had told her about it and that one out of nearly some several trillion humans born with them; it was that rare. So rare that it's practically nonexistence. Of course, there are a different condition but never mind that.
Kagome decided that she didn't want to think about it and continued to go on to her way to the police station, where she knew her uncle would be waiting. Sighing as she kicked her skateboard up to get it and tucked it in her arm as she finally arrived to the place. The hooded girl went in the large building and continued her way to her destined area; her uncle's office, which was a couple floors above the one she was on.
Just about to enter the elevator, she was stopped by a person she knew so well, a certain police officer named Miroku, "Wait! Your uncle is having the meeting with someone. So, since I know you hate to wait, why not describes Lin Lockloose to the sketch artist?" Miroku smiled. "Damn. You know me so well, Miroku." Kagome sighed and followed Miroku to the one of the many offices.
The man, who looked to be about in late 20s-early 30s, raised his eyebrows to the dark-haired insomniac boy-like man, who was sitting, or rather crouching, in a chair, "So you want to watch Kagome to work on a case? To see how she does?" The man asked as he leaned against his own chair as the insomniac person shifted in his seat nodded, "Yes, it would greatly benefit our Kira investigation team, if she does turned out as I heard she was." He munched on an M&M and picked out another one from a bag he was holding.
"Well… L or Ryuzaki, whatever you want me to call you… It is up to her to whether if she want to help you out or not. It's not up to me. I'm not her father." The longhaired blond man, with the hint of stubbles of a beard growing on his thick chin, took off his eyeglasses and placed it on his desk and sighed. He could feel a headache coming on.
"Yes, Kyo-san, but you're her uncle." L commented, munching another M&M, using his name instead of his family name, though it may seem disrespectful, it helps to not confuse which one is which, since both Kyo and Kagome are related and both had same family name. "Yes, but it didn't make me feel right if I started acting like her father." Kyo sighed, rubbing his temple.
Someone was knocking on the door and Kyo sighed, happy that someone decided to interrupt their awkward discussions. "Come in!" He called out. The door creaked to reveal it was the hooded girl that was his niece, "Hey, Unc. Hope I wasn't interrupting the meeting. I just need to get the case files and I'm outta here." Kagome said, looking oddly at the strange man who was crouching on a chair and munching on candies no less. 'Weirdo.' She thought.
"Ah! This is L, but you would be calling him Ryuzaki as his alias. He will watch you as you're working, Kagome. I'm sure you have heard of him, a famous detective who didn't reveal himself until Kira appeared?" Kyo smiled at his niece, introducing L to Kagome; hoping they would hit it off well, but Kagome is a lazy girl. He wouldn't be so sure, since seeing that L was hoping he would meet a hardworking person.
"Okay." Kagome shrugged out, "So can I have the files now?" She asked, her hand out like she was waiting for a candy. "Hm? Oh, yeah." Kyo picked the files out of his desk and placed it on Kagome's hand. "Here you go. Ryuzaki, you can go ahead and go with her." Kyo said.
The hooded girl grunted and gone out of the door and the insomniac slowly got out of his seat and left to follow the girl. Kyo sighed and rest his head on the desk, 'That was interesting, to say at least. I hope she would be okay.' He thought, worrying about his niece about working with this oddball insomniac person.

Yeah… I know I shouldn't make any more stories than what I have on my hands but this idea interrupted me when I was working on my other fic. It is an experimental fic to see how many reviews it'll get. If it gets many responses, like 10 reviews or more, I'll keep it. If not, well…
But tell ya the truth, I wrote it for DeathNoteMaker because when I made the summary and sent it over to the IM, she practically begs me to finish it. Ah, well. She's pretty much my only true love so why's not?
I also added the spoiler-free characters bios because this story, to me, has a lot of holes, so to prevent this confusion; I set it up to explain more of their looks and a bit of their personalities to fit.
So… If you have any questions, please don't be hesitated to ask me, okay? I'll try to answer it.
Hope you guys like this story!!
