Seams of Time
Chapter One; The Messenger
Thunder clapped its hands in the sky over the Kanto region of Japan, almost as if it were a curse. Though it did make a goofy-faced, ebony haired man jump with uncertainty as he eyed the two men that were handcuffed together. A five foot chain that connected them seemed to be the most space that they tried to strain. They seemed to be having some sort of mental contest. So it didn't really matter to anyone else.
Then, everyone jumped when they heard the gentle rapping of knuckles against the double doors that kept all of the men in that room. The goofy-faced man darted his eyes to the door, then the men.
"I'll get the door!" He said in almost a squeak as he jumped on the balls of his feet and jerked open the door, hoping a beautiful woman would be there to sweep him off his feet. Yet, to his incredible disappointment, there stood a short, plump woman with squinty black eyes and short black hair. A black and blue beaded bracelet wrapped around her wrist, that was the only thing that was really eye catching about her. The rest of what she wore was simply business attire.
"I need to speak to Yagami Light." The woman stated in a bird-like voice and her gaze scrutinized the goofy Matsuda. The handsome, brunette man looked at her and wrinkled his nose and she mentally rolled her eyes. People were still too predictable with their actions and attractions.
"Yes?" He spoke up hesitantly, at least it wasn't his clingy girlfriend, Misa Amane. The woman looked at him, then at the chain, then at the other black haired man before looking at the elevator that she exited.
"Never mind," She murmured under her breath before itching at the skin around the bracelet. The plumpness in her cheeks seemed to fade as the bracelet lost contact with her skin for the bare moment before her eyes landed on the shinigami Ryuk. A shrewd smirk came to her lips as she shook her head and walked toward the elevator. As soon as she reached the elevator and was out of the building, she pulled off her bracelet. Almost immediately, the plumpness disappeared from her form and she grew a few inches. Her hair fell to the small of her back and the average tan of a Japanese woman faded into the iridescent porcelain skin that she held. Curves filled out into a small and slender hour glass and her limbs lengthened as she put her bracelet back on. It held her appearance, not changing the black color of her eyes to the original color.
She looked back up at the hotel room she was just in to catch the eyes of the shinigami that was still there, a smirk slowly forming on her face as she motioned for him to come forward. Her attractive face held the 'come hither' look that she practiced so hard on without blushing or stuttering. He was a little caught up with her and looked at Light, the man didn't notice him looking down at the young woman that stood near the building. Though he did see the messy haired man with black bags that curled under his eyes staring out the window at the woman with his thumb to his lip. His teeth firmly held onto the nail as his brow pulled together, then relaxed.
Her nail carved across the brick before she turned the corner and disappeared from site.
Almost immediately, the messy haired man jerked up and walked out the door, dragging Light along with him. Repetitive questions swirled in the air as the man jerked Light into the elevator and made it outside and observed the wall. He had observed her careful finger movements across the brick wall even though Light had absolutely no idea what he was doing. Even though Ryuk was laughing like mad, then he suddenly tensed when he spotted the words on the wall. They were bright red even though a white liquid seeped from them and only he could really see it until the messy haired man spotted it as his eyes roamed over the words quickly. They widened only a fraction before looking up at the stars, there was only something so familiar….
A/N: Geh, plot bunnies are a pain in the ass. Make sure to review, they fuel my ability to write fanfiction.
