Authors note: Do not own Death note or Inuyasha. I actually had this idea for a while, Thanks to A reader of mine. kirahigarashi, So a big shout out to you here! (Girl/Boy doesn't matter)I had the courage to put up this strange crossover. I'm still not sure if it will be a Mello and Kagome or a Matt and Kagome. I may create a poll, or you can just tell me in a PM or Review! Who would you like to see.

Also the title was inspired by the song O' Death by Jen Titus.(Original song done by Ralph Stanley. Both are gorgeous in their own way, two holy different styles though) Its one of my favorites. I'm not quite sure what to call it, Gregorian Chant? Hym maybe? Its soothing despite the subject matter. Jen Titus's version of it, where Stanley's is more western. I highly recommend you check it out if you never heard it. its barely a two minute song. won't take much time at all.

When god is gone and the devil takes hold who will have, mercy on my soul?- Jen Titus O' Death

Eighteen year old Kagome Higarashi's life had never been normal, not since her fifteenth birthday anyway. When she was taken by a demon and sent back five hundred years into the past, where she then shattered a sacred jewel and spent a better part of over a year trying to piece it back together why fighting a dark force named Naraku. Together with her friends, a half dog demon named Inuyasha, A fox demon named Shippo, A perverted monk named Miroku, a Demon slayer Sango and her faithful companion Kilala a two tailed cat demon. As well as help from Inuyasha's half brother Shessomaru and a feisty wolf Demon Kouga. They defeated Naraku and she was able to complete and wish away the jewel.

Three years had passed since that final battle against evil. The jewel was no more, and there was now no way to cross the well again it was closed. She missed everyone terribly, especially Inuyasha who she had grown Romantic feelings for during their travels. As well as the Fox kit Shippo who she had grown to love like her own son. What she wouldn't give to see them just one last time and say a proper goodbye. She also terribly missed the Adrenaline and the Adventure. The not knowing where you'd end up next. She truly took that for granted.

Kagome was bored. She was able to get her grades back up and barely made it into college where she was studying to become a nurse. The one thing she picked up why in the feudal era was the love of medicine and helping others. She still had her Miko powers but they were no good this day in age. Medicine though, she could do that. She could still help others. She worked part time at a café when she wasn't Interning at the Kyoto hospital.

Which is where she found herself now. Assessing the new patients, and determining what kind of care they needed, under the supervision of the RN of course. She also wrote down everything in their files which she helped organize and keep clean. This was her favorite part, talking to the patients. When she was done she got this particular patient, a sixty year old man named Taichi Ubata some water for his dry throat and bowed before leaving.

"Kagome! Kagome did you hear?" Eri, a friend of hers from high school and fellow intern ran over to her.

"What is it Eri? Is everything ok?" Kagome asked concerned.

"There's been another Heart attack . Again no history of it. Just keeled over. It's all the nurses are talking about. The Morticians are baffled. The hearts look perfectly healthy. You think it's the work of Kira?" She whispered the last part conspiratorially.

"I don't know. Probably." Kagome bit her lower lip. Following Eri into the nurses lounge to grab some food. Rice and Pickled Fish.

Kagome was deep in thought as she sat across from her friend on the bench, a vending machine with soda and other snacks humming behind her, incase one didn't want to eat the so called "Food" offered. She picked at it but did not eat it.

Something was off about the heart attacks, Kagome felt with everything she had that they were not natural, of course they weren't, not so many so quickly and all over the world. Ruling out a pathogen. It had to be one person. Group crimes had less of success rate. How could he kill though. Was he some kind of demon that was able to hide amongst the humans and had, had enough? But then, why only criminals.

Kagome took a bite of the pickled fish, not even noticing the sharp taste, which she washed down with rice and water. It had to be some sort of enchanted object. What had that kind of power? She groaned. Not for the first time she wished she had her friends from the past, even Lady Kaede. She was sure with their extensive knowledge as a group about all things enchanted, demonic, or spiritual would have come up with plausible answers. If she could just figure it out, her expertise in this area may be able to help the police, or even L catch the killer.

L.. Ever since his public "confrontation" with Kira a couple weeks ago. Kagome had searched everything she could about the mysterious Detective and got nothing. She was just so damn curious, or maybe it was the boredom, loneliness, or need to get back into contact with something anything from her past. Or another possibility. It gave her something to do in between work, and studying. Something to keep her mind off everything she lost. Whatever the Reason. Kagome wanted to know what was going on .

"Kagome? Earth to Kagome? anyone home?" Eri asked snapping her fingers in front of Kagomes unfocused chocolate brown eyes.

"What?" Kagome asked blinking her brain and eyes coming back into focus.

"There you are. I thought you got abducted. As I was saying, Ayumi is back in town. Yuka and I thought we could all go shopping , then to a club or something after words to celebrate. This Friday. I know you don't usually go out. This is a special occasion. What do you say?" Eri put her hands together pleading.

Kagome thought about it. Ayumi was the one out of her three friends who always supported her, even during rough patches with Inuyasha. She was always there to listen. She was the closest to her out of them. It had been a year since she saw her. She had no homework, she didn't see why not. Her work schedule was free Fridays. Her chores at the Shrine wouldn't' take very long. Thinking about it a few minutes more. She finished her water and gave a bright smile.

"I'd love to Eri. It would be nice to get the girls back together! In truth I could use the break from the constant work load. School, work and this internship can be a bit much sometimes. I could use the opportunity to let loose. " It was true enough. Kagome could use a break. Her head hurt with the constant influx of information pounded into her head daily. Her heart heavy from the memory of those she lost. When was the last time she truly relaxed and enjoyed herself? She couldn't remember.

Eri squealed.

"I'll let the girls know your in. I'll text you the time and where we'll meet at. I'm so excited Kagome!"

After lunch Kagome separated from Eri and went back to doing her daily routine. Dressing some wounds here and there. By the time it was time to go her feet hurt but she felt good, so many smiles today and people feeling better. Today was one of the better days.

Kagome entered the elevators and once she exited them, she noticed it was raining, luckily she carried a umbrella in her purse. It was compactable. Releasing it she entered the rain and hailed a cab to take her to the Shrine.

The cab ride was silent, so she just watched the city pass, the lights shinning brighter than any star. Neon lights flickering. She missed the clear skys of the feudal era . Where you could really see millions of stars across the sky. She used to lay and just star at them for ages tell she fell asleep wondering about it all. She shook her head. The cabby stopped with a squeak infront of the shrine steps. Paying the man she slipped out again opening the umbrella and walked up the shrine stairs.

Usually this exhausted most people. She went up and down them every day almost her whole life, plus fighting in the feudal era, and gym memberships. She kept fit so it was a breeze.

"Kagome!" Souta shouted down running down the steps. Souta was her younger brother. Freshman in high school. He had dark hair down to his ears and wore his blue uniform. She grinned devilishly and attacked him in a hug and kissed his cheeks.

"Eww Kagome I'm to old for this! He only half fought her. "

"Aww it's good to see my two grown up kids getting along" Her mother came from the kitchen drying off a plate . Her mother was middle aged with curled brown hair and a kind heart and face. Her eyes held wisdom, wisdom Kagome often had to lean on during her childhood and sometimes even her adult life, there were problems only her mother could fix.

Kagome gave her brother one last ruffle of his hair. Removing her sneakers from work and putting house shoes on she walked to the kitchen. She was only in white scrub pants and a yellow scrub shirt, showing she was just an intern. The hospital had different colored shirts for different jobs. Maintenance, cleaning, laundry, nurses, Supervisors, Director of nursing etc. She removed her raven hair from her pony tail and shook it out so it landed on her lower back.

Feeling much more at ease, she grabbed a can of cat food and fluffed it with a fork and putting it onto a plate. The moment it was put down. Her fat cat bouyo, a brown and white cat ran faster than she'd ever seen the lazy feline move and started devouring his dinner. Giving no more than a mewl of appreciation at her.

"Your very welcome" She answered his mewl and scratched him behind the ears.

"Kagome? Kagome is that you? How was your day sweetie?" Her grandfather asked coming out of a back room covered in dust.

"It went great gramps. I got to clean some wounds and redress today. Admitted two new patients in. Nothing serious. Did you find anything in storage for the exhibit? It looks like I'm not the only one who has to wash up before dinner."

"Ah yes, I found a sword said to have belonged to a Shinigami itself. It's in need of repairs though. I'm having it cleaned up as we speak."

"That sound's lovely. I'm going to clean up and then I'll see you at dinner!" She danced up the steps and turned on the hot water. Throwing her scrubs into the bin she jumped into the water which was hot enough to relax her tired muscles. Washing up quick , spending some time with her long hair. Once done she had dinner with her family. Teriyaki chicken , rice, veggies and miso soup.

Why at Dinner she listened avidly to her brothers stories about soccer and tennis, as well as his grades in school. Asking for help in chemistry. Her mother went on about her usual day, Grandpa even had funny stories on how he chased a mouse all around the shrine. Only for it to go back into its original hole in the wall. Where it sat mocking him this very moment.

Kagome stretched after dinner. Feeling more relax and contented. Her family truly made even the toughest days bright.

Once Kagome got into her room, and shut it. She rested her back against it and let out a long tired sigh. Finally alone time. She turned on the lamp on her desk and opened up one of her medical books , trying to get a bit ahead in class. When she was done with the next chapters notes, she brought out a book too read. Laying flat on her bed now she flipped it open. One of those romance novels . It wasn't the typical prince and princess. Oh no. This was about a gang member that fell in love with a dancer. Two opposites thrown together by mere chance at a bank robbery gone wrong. The Heroine learning to spy in order to portect the one she loved.

Kagome didn't realize she had fallen asleep until her phone buzzed incessantly near her head. Opening a bleary eye she flipped it open. It was from Eri.

"Meet us at noon in front of the fountain in the shopping center square. Then we'll crash at your place to get ready for the black orchid. Ayumi's brother owns it so we have free passage in"

She smiled and turned out the light. Friday would be interesting indeed. She sensed change in the air. She hoped it was a good kind of change.
