Disclaimer: I most definitely do not own Death Note or Tokyo Ghoul, I am not nearly smart or clever enough to produce such a great manga series at Death Note and Tokyo Ghoul. I will say that this fic will not be my primary focus, mostly being updated here and there. My main focus fic is "Key to my Heart", which is a Haikyu! fic. That being said, I will do my absolute best to update from time to time. So don't be alarmed if I don't update for a month, it doesn't mean I have abandoned this story, it just means I'm lazy. There, I admit it. I'm lazy.
With that all said, please enjoy!
If she had to say one word to describe her life so far in general, she'd choose the word "selfish". Oh, certainly not her. She's probably given the most in her life, but received very little. No, it was her parents and guardian who'd been selfish. Both sets.
First her biological parents.
Her mother was killed when she was only 5 months old, caught in the act of crime. After that, her criminal father dumped her on the side of the streets, abandoning her. Her parents were selfish, that's how she'd describe them, they had loved crime too much to care for the daughter they had. In all honesty, she probably wasn't a planned baby, more like she was a side result of them convorting around and having a party. Maybe at one point they had loved her, but certainly not enough to care for her properly. Then she was adopted by a couple, the Mikan Family, who so called "rescued" her. Yes, she was grateful that she didn't live in the overflowing orphanage anymore, but the Mikan couple were selfish. Her adopted Mikan Osamu, was an important member of the board in a well-known firm, while her adopted mother, Mikan Murasaki, was a proud store manager of a large shopping store in a huge mall. They both loved their jobs, probably too much.
She couldn't count on both hands and feet how many times she'd spent her birthdays or holidays at the old Scottish neighbor lady's house since her parents "couldn't" make it due to work. As a very young child, she missed her parents terribly. Once she reached the age of 5, she was numb to it, and didn't care. Besides, she loved Mrs. Fiona Maceachthighearna, and her granddaughter, Iwalani Maceachthighearna, who was only a little less than a year older than her.
When she was 9, her parents were murdered by Aogiri. They weren't exactly targeted by the ghoul terrorists, just simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. When the CCG informed her of her parents' deaths, they quickly became concerned by how she never shed a tear, or cried her heart out. In other words, she just stood there quietly, not looking particularly sad but not happy. She guessed that's how she always looked.
Yet she couldn't help but blame them. If they hadn't stayed late for that extra meeting, if they had left early for her ninth birthday, they wouldn't have been caught up in the Aogiri business that killed them. She also couldn't help but laugh dryly at the irony of the situation. In end, it was their love for money and their jobs that for killed them. Doesn't karma bite? At last, she ended up in the care of her adopted father's older brother. Mikan Mihiko. Out of all the people she'd been taken care of, she would have to confess the best had been him. Although he also loved his job as a senior member of the Japanese Police probably too much, he at least made efforts to make time for her birthdays and other special occasions.
But he too, was selfish, and wasn't at home very much. However, this she used to her advantage. Here's a little secret about her, she's a natural half ghoul. Her mother had in fact been murdered by the CCG, for being a ghoul. To be fair, Jinju Misa was only a B rated ghoul, yet often gorged herself to the point where she was noticed and quickly eliminated. She even knows who did the deed: Shinohara Yukinori. If she ever met him, she'd have to thank him for ridding filth like Jinju Misa. Her father, Jinju Haku, was a criminal who sold drugs and weapons illegally for a Yakuza group known as Shiyokai. Honestly, she had once met them (then killed them all) and they weren't all that impressive for such a scary name.
So, for her own adventures as a half ghoul, it really only started when she was 10, when Yakumo Oomori, or Yamori, or Jason, tortured her for 13 days. Typical him. Consider it a petty grudge against her mother, for some unknown reason. This in turn caused her hair to turn stark white from its original black and gave her some nice black fingernails, or the famous Maria Antoinette Syndrome we all know and love from Tokyo Ghoul. It's been said that after Kaneki's own torture session that she gave him therapy tips. Of course, since she was a half ghoul, she couldn't very well tell anyone she was tortured because of her mom.
In reality, the CCG covered it up a terrorist attack and it was in fact the ghouls of Anteiku who saved her life. It was after this event, that she decided to create her own group of ghouls to protect those who needed protection, and in exchange they would work for her. It launched much faster than she thought it would. And after even humans came to her for aid, she declared her group would consist of both ghouls and human who would work together.
At first, the idea wasn't well met, but once she reminded them that she took them in, she could very easily take them out, the idea became more popular. After a few months, the group became well known and quite feared. She even impressed herself, she was the leader of a very terrifying and large organization. Quite certainly, she had helpers along the way, she was only 11, and of course she needed some guidance. And thus the rings and circles and ranks were formed.
Think of it like biology (I know, not everyone's favorite topic, but work with me here!). There were two circles, Circle Cat for the ghouls and Circle Crow for the humans. Then in each circle there were three rings. Rings of Fire, the main fighting ring, Darkness, the main intelligence ring, and Death, the specialized jobs ring. In each Ring, there were ranks. 10 was the lowest and 2 was the highest. Rank 1 was only for the three Officers in each Ring, and then Rank 0 was only for the Executives that led rings and the Ringleader, which was her.
Defining your positon in the organization was simple, you'd state your Circle, then your Ring, and finally your Rank. Her title was "Circle C, Ring of Three, Rank 0", since she was the special Ringleader of Hell's Circus, leader of the Acrobats. (Wasn't the CCG so clever in nicknaming them?)
And she trusted her Executives much more than her uncle. They were her true family. Well, she couldn't very well forget Reagan and Alice, could she?
Now at the age of 13, she was the feared Kitsune, with her nine red rinkaku tails and her crimson fox mask, she led one of the top most deadliest and feared ghoul organizations. Did she mention she was a hidden genius, the only way you could tell that she was smarter than average was that she was in a grade above the norm, and that really wasn't even scratching the surface. And the best part was that the CCG didn't even know there were human in Hell's Circus, since everyone wore masks to conceal their identity, the CCG believed it was an all ghoul group. How delightful.
And to think she was only Mikan Kyoko, a white haired with black roots and scarlet eyed 13 year old girl who was a third year at Morinomiya Junior High (this school is actually from Gakuen Babysitters, but is a very irrelevant part of the story).
And this is where Kyoko's story finally gets amusing and fun, with the start of the Kira Murders and the Kira Investigation led by the mysterious L. Which one will she side with, and how much entertainment can she get from this?
You want an entertaining story? I'll tell you one. Listen closely, Kyoko's story is one of a lifetime. After all, it isn't very often one of my kind takes interest in a human, ghoul or both.
Another day of school finally over. Kyoko sighed as she made her way home, just wanting to get her homework done then hold that meeting with her 6 Executives. Hearing very fast approaching footsteps, she braced herself for the incoming stampede.
"KYOKO-KUN!" A vivacious and joyful shout erupted from behind her and soon Kyoko found herself locked in a half choke hold, half hug.
"I haven't seen you in foreverrrrr!" Maceachthighearna Iwalani trilled happily.
"It's been a good two minutes since you saw me in class," Kyoko reminded her.
Iwalani laughed heartily, slinging an arm around her friend. "Details don't matter!" She tossed her medium length white and purple streaked hair over her shoulder. "Where's Waratah?"
"Right here," a kind voice sounded from behind them. A girl with long white hair with dark blue, purple, pink and light blue tips and pink eyes calmly walked towards them. Eichhorst Waratah. Yes, yes, very specific, I know.
"Wara-chan! You ready to go?" Iwalani asked, walking towards the exit and dragging Kyoko with her.
Kyoko kept trying to wiggle out of Iwalani's hold but alas, to no avail, she was failing miserably.
"Hai, Kyoko-kun?" Waratah turned to the last and youngest member of their group.
"Yeah I'm good," Kyoko wheezed.
Please let me go! Kyoko pleaded internally.
"Then let's go! To Kyoko-kun's house!" Iwalani declared, skipping off while still having an arm around Kyoko.
"Iwa-chan! I'm dying down here!" Kyoko shrieked murderously, not appreciating this treatment.
"You'll live!" Was the cackled response.
Waratah could only sweat drop at her best friends' usual antics.
Upon arriving at Kyoko's small home, Iwalani finally released Kyoko from her death hold, and Kyoko bolted for the door, quickly unlocking it. Heaving a disgruntled sigh, she let her friends inside.
"Pardon the intrusion," they recited perfectly, taking off their shoes.
Kyoko never did like it when they said that. "You two do realize there's no one ever home to say that, right?" She said, raising an eyebrow.
Iwalani waved all that carelessly. "It's called proper manners, and you're the only one who's actually Japanese! The irony!"
Waratah smiled amiably while shoving Iwalani inside and shutting the door. Taking off her shoes, Kyoko gloomily made her way to the table, dumping out all the crap homework she had.
"I can't wait until the next break," Kyoko mumbled, already starting on that studying. "I want to get this over with, so I can tell my uncle I studied."
Iwalani snorted in sarcasm. "Yeah, for what, 3 minutes?"
Their "study" time was more of a "hang out but say we studied as an excuse" time. Iwalani had already spilled the tea, which was very unsurprising for the girl. Waratah, the only one with actual common sense in their friend group, gracefully cleaned the spilled tea while somehow baking cookies. Kyoko swore her friend was a magical girl with special powers or something like that. She herself knew in the world they lived in, it was certainly possible. Shinigamis, Death Notes, Ghouls, Vampires, Grim Reapers, Demons, Angels, Kyoko wouldn't be surprised at all to find out witches were real.
"Oh, by the way, when's the Executive meeting?" Waratah asked, scooping up papers back into her bag.
Kyoko paused in consuming one of Waratah's fabulous sugar with strawberry filling cookies. "Um, we're meeting at Sayu-san's house."
"EH? Isn't that super dangerous? Considering out of the four of us, she's the only one with a sibling," Iwalani cut in, rocking back and forth in her chair.
"Yagami Sachiko invited us for dinner, and since we have that meeting today, I thought we could have it in her room," Kyoko explained. At the same time, she was munching on a cookie carelessly.
In a blink of an eye, Waratah snatched the cookie out of Kyoko's mouth. "Then you shouldn't eat so many cookies before dinner! You've eaten what, 12?"
"17."
"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!"
"Aside from that, you should all get going."
And this is where I come in. I'm that super cool mysterious extra person in all those Death Note fanfics you read, that one person who gives the protagonist an advantage over L and Light.
Iwalani's head snapped up. "Sensei!"
"You have exactly 7 minutes to get to the Yagami residence, I suggest you better hurry up."
Waratah did a playful salute. "Hai, Sensei."
After I got all them hooligans out of the Mikan House, I followed them, just walking behind. Oh they knew it too.
"Sensei's following us," Iwalani sang while skipping ahead of Waratah and Kyoko.
"Probably to make sure you don't get lost and end up at the jailhouse again," Kyoko snickered.
Revenge is petty but satisfactory.
Waratah chortled, further sending her purpled haired friend into a depression. "Oh yes! Though she's not as bad as Shishou…"
"Truth."
"Left," Kyoko ordered, turning a corner and soon, they faced the home of the Yagamis.
The moment they got in front of the door, it flung open and revealed a jubilant, smiling brown haired 14 year old girl. Sayu Yagami. Ah, in the original timeline, she had such a poor, tragic life. Thus my father, husband and I altered the future, placing a few more key players on the board. Mainly Kyoko, Iwalani, Waratah and Hell's Circus. It certainly changed a lot of things from the original. What a bore the original was, I'm so thrilled that there will be more action in this one.
"Yo!" Sayu beamed happily. "Okaa-san! They're here!"
Stepping inside, the house was filled with choruses of "please pardon the intrusion."
Sachiko Yagami, a woman who looked very similar to her own daughter, greeted them warmly. "We have about 30 minutes left until dinner, I'm very sorry for the lateness. I got a late start."
Kyoko bowed forgivingly. "No, it's ok. Thank you for feeding us."
"Yeah Mom! It's ok!" Sayu chirped bubbly. "Let's go to my room while we wait!"
Nodding, Kyoko followed her energetic friend, with Iwalani and Waratah trailing along behind like lost puppies. Closing the door, Sayu breathed a sigh. Glancing around, she checked every corner and shut the binds of the windows.
"Coast clear," Sayu announced, leaping onto her bed. "Wara-chan, did you bring the sound silencers?"
Pulling out several devices and wires, Waratah set them up around the room, silencing the noise that could be heard from outside the room and they wirelessly cut off sound from any cameras hidden in the room. Kyoko poked the small devices skeptically.
"Now you're sure these work?" Kyoko asked, scrutinizing at the machines.
"Yup, Yuuta-kun and I machined them ourselves, tested them quite a few times with Yuudai-Ojii," Waratah reassured her boss.
Switching them on, Waratah joined her friends on Sayu's bed.
"Let us begin," Kyoko declared the beginning of the meeting with the Executives of Circle Crow.
"Kyoko, the Kitsune, Circle C, Ring of Three, Rank 0, present."
"Waratah, the Tasmanian Devil, Circle Crow, Ring of Death, Rank 0, present."
"Iwalani, the Purple Hibiscus, Circle Crow, Ring of Darkness, Rank 0, present."
"Sayu, Justice, Circle Crow, Ring of Fire, Rank 0, present."
"Oh that reminds me, why aren't any of our ghoul Executives here?" Sayu inquired curiously.
Kyoko hummed in response. "Yuudai-Ojii is attending an extremely imperative meeting for his corporation, Ketsueki-kun is dealing with some Exorcist business in Kyoto with one of the Officers, and Akemi-nee is busying getting the CCG off our backs. Anyone want to start us off?"
"I will," Iwalani lazily raised her hand. "First of all, why in fricking Hell are the Clowns acting up?! First this 'accident' with that college student guy from Kamii University, now getting involved with Aogiri?! I lost three of my guys to them while on an intelligence mission!"
Iwalani, needless to say, was super uber pissed.
Sayu sighed sadly and tiredly. "It's true the Clowns are getting out of hand, yet they're the only ones besides V who can really stand up to us in a direct challenge. If we confronted them about the issues, they might retaliate. Who knows how many we'd lose."
Waratah tapped her lips with her finger thoughtfully. "A warning?"
"No, a warning won't cut it," Kyoko shut that idea faster than a Mexican Jumping Bean escaping the sun. "While the Clowns have moles is almost every major organization, Aogiri, V, Anteiku, Rose, even the CCG and the Sunlit Garden, they don't in the Wolves of Silence and the Zodiac."
Sayu's eyes locked onto Kyoko in realization. "Both the Wolves and the Zodiac are top elite groups who are small yet very deadly and powerful. Are you….?"
Kyoko nodded in confirmation. "Alliance."
Iwalani merely closed her eyes in thought. "Will that work? And what would it take for them to make the alliance with us?"
"The Wolves are already on good terms with us," Waratah pointed out. "In addition, the Zodiac are threatened by the Clowns just as much."
"What would we do to win them over?" Sayu murmured, already adding up the costs and casualties. "We can't let the Clowns get anymore reckless."
A sudden thought rebounded back to my head. Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that.
"Unless they're trying to accomplish something in the middle of the chaos."
All four of them darted the eyes to where I was standing, understanding dawning on them.
"A diversion, to arouse chaos and do what they need to do in the background," Kyoko mused over that fact.
"After all, the Clowns always have the last laugh," Iwalani hissed angrily.
Sayu shook her head in disagreement. "Yet the Acrobats are what stir up the crowd."
"What about the Divinities and the Reapers? What if we made an alliance with them as well?" Waratah suggested.
I applaud you Waratah dear for having the guts to suggest it, but there's no way Kyoko will agree to it. So sorry.
"No!" Kyoko said, raising her voice just a bit. "Too risky. Both of those groups are wild cards, too unpredictable."
"So we've ruled out the Divinities and the Reapers," Sayu hurriedly wrote that down, scanning the rest of her notes. "We have about 10 minutes left until Mom calls us for dinner."
"Anything we want to discuss?" Iwalani asked, and everyone heard Iwalani's stomach audibly growl.
I swear, that girl is a bottomless pit. I've lost count of how many times she's stolen one of my precious caramel packs to eat for herself. The little glutton.
"Kira." Sayu instantly spat out in disgust, very different for the usually cheerful and friendly girl.
Oh, what battle and bloodshed does to you.
Iwalani snorted in repulsion. "Damn, Kira's an insult to true criminals. What a coward."
"We need to find a way to deal with Kira, fast. What if Kira starts killing off our people?" Waratah sighed, rubbing the side of her head in worry. "Ghouls can't be killed by a Death Note, which I'm sure is Kira's choice of weapon based on the way criminals are dying, Ghouls are protected from the curse by the Ancients. But our Humans Circles can be killed off, if Kira catches wind of them, they're toast and we might be exposed."
Kyoko drew in a breath, figuring out how to play her cards right. Little one, just remember that one slip up and your castle of cards will come crashing down. Play your cards right, take some risks but please always remember what's most important.
"We'll change their identities." Kyoko said, her eyes still closed.
"What?"
Kyoko sighed, the stress getting to her as well, and after opening her eyes she glanced at the clock. Tick tock dearie.
"We'll change their records. If Kira is using a Death Note, they'll need a name and face. If any of our Human Acrobats are imprisoned, and Kira tries to kill them, he'd have to check police or CCG records." Kyoko explained. "But the legal records will have been changed, but Kira won't know that."
Iwalani's eyes widened in understanding. "You little genius."
"With all that said, while the police is aware of and co-operates with the CCG, Hell's Circus falls under CCG jurisdiction since we're a ghoul organization. Both the CCG is not aware that we have humans operating in our network," Kyoko laid out the cards for all to see. "Therefore, Kira will most likely not check the CCG's prisoner records, since Kira has only been killing human criminals. But it's just a precauation."
"Does Kira even know Ghouls exist?" Iwalani asked skeptically.
Sayu shrugged, not caring very much at all. "Probably, who wouldn't? But usually the CCG won't give out Ghoul's real names since usually they don't know it. Also, the CCG tries to kill as many ghouls as possible."
"How about actually finding Kira while we're on it?" Iwalani brought up the inevitable.
Sayu leaped up suddenly from her bed and rummaged through some drawers before pulling out a notebook, then bounded back onto her bed. "I've been investigating this ever since the killings started five days ago. I think it's a student, based on the killing patterns. And Kira's in the Kanto region, the first kill was a criminal who took a kindergarten classroom hostage in Kanto." Pausing to clear her throat, Sayu also flipped the page.
Dear me Sayu-chan, that's a whole heck of a lot of notes. Of course, I already know who Kira is, but I haven't been able to figure out which Shinigami has been helping Kira.
"Furthermore, Kira has a childish and twisted sense of Justice. I mean, who gets to decide if the criminal gets the death penalty? Let's face it, Kira has a god complex. By killing off criminals, Kira is gaining the favor of the public and eventually Kira will be able to take over governments and countries. Kira will probably use blackmail." Sayu finished, closing her notebook.
Kyoko, Iwalani and Waratah just blinked in shock and sat in silence.
...
"Holy crap, I only figured out half of that, you are truly a genius." Iwalani finally broke the icy silence.
"I was on the same page as Sayu," Kyoko spoke up, reminding everyone of the little snarky genius she was. "Also, it has to be someone who has access to the police files, someone related to a policeman who's on the Kira case."
"Same," Waratah agreed, rubbing her chin in deep thought.
"Is everyone a freaking genius except for me?!"
"You're a genius too, you're one of the best hackers in the world, which takes some genius!"
"Getting off track here Sayu-chan."
"Sorry Kyoko-sama."
Waratah glanced again at the clock. "Dinner will be ready soon, we should wrap this up."
Nodding in agreement, Kyoko's focus snapped to Iwalani. "Alright then. Iwa-chan, you're in charge of hacking into the city's database and changing all of our humans' real names, write them down in everyone's file what they're fake names are. Here's the key to that drawer with all those files in Yuudai-Ojii's Office. Make sure no one can trace you back and no one notices."
Iwalani gave a low whistle after Kyoko handed her the key. "That'll be damn hard but I think I can manage it."
"Sayu-chan, see what you can glean from your dad's files. I have a feeling L and V will get involved in the Kira Case, we can't have them trace anything back to us, even on accident," Kyoko directed towards the brown haired girl.
The latter gave a mock salute in affirmation.
"Wara-chan, build cameras and sound recorders that appear as ordinary objects or very tiny cameras and sound recorders. I want to stick some in the police headquarters," Kyoko turned her final instruction to the half Prussian, half Aboriginal girl.
"What about you?" she asked in response.
"I'll get in contact with the rest of Hell's Circus about this, I'll also see about what I can get from my uncle's files. I'll investigate those in the underground about what they're doing to stay under Kira's radar. In addition, I'll try to uncover Kira's identity without leasing any evidence to the police and revealing myself." Kyoko explained while sliding off Sayu's bed.
Sayu stifled a loud snort, but she failed fantastically. "Basically, everything else. There's our strong dependable Ringleader for us."
Waratah smiled brightly while she disabled the sound silencers. "That's right!"
Just another reminder of all the weight and burdens Kyoko was carrying for Hell's Circus. A knock at the door, it made them all tense up in surprise. Just Light though. Honestly, what were Soichirou and Sachiko thinking? It was such a stupid name.
"Sayu, Mom says dinner is ready, and why is your door locked?" Light-san asked from the other side of the door.
Sayu visibly relaxed. "To keep a nosy busybody out like you!" She teased, unlocking the door.
Swinging open, a faint smile was painted on Light-san's lips. Normally, girls would fall heads over heels over that playboy smile. I loved Kyoko, I couldn't let Light touch and taint her.
"You know as well as I do how cold, cunning, and cruel Light really is. Be on your guard at all times around him. I still don't know who Light's Shinigami is," I whispered into Kyoko's ear, making sure to stay out of Light's sight.
Even though I knew Light couldn't see me, his Shinigami did. And I wanted to hold that advantage of knowing who Light's Shinigami was but that Shinigami wouldn't know who I was. Also, I couldn't count on the Shinigami on revealing who I really was. She nodded faintly, understanding me. And I was loud enough to where Sayu, Waratah and Iwalani heard me, but not the Shinigami. Even Sayu knew how dangerous Light could truly be, and sometimes it scared her more than she would admit.
And as I watched them eat dinner and exchange polite conversation, there was one thing that stood out to me. And he was standing behind Light.
"Ryuk," I hissed darkly under my breath.
Never have I liked him, he was too smart for his own good, and an absolutely trickster. It would make sense that he dropped the Death Note into the human realm, I suspect for entertainment purposes. As a high ranking Shinigami myself, I had the fabulous ability to turn invisible, I usually used it for sneaking up on the other Shinigamis. After I went incognito, the dinner finished and everyone but Light and Sachiko sat on the sofa.
"We're going to watch Ryuga Hideki and I will eventually convince you all he's literally the hottest person ever!" Sayu squealed, switching the TV on.
Iwalani rolled her eyes dramatically. "He is not, Omisha Mikuni is soooooooo much hotter."
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
Kyoko leaned over towards Waratah to whisper into her ear, the two of them always had to sit in between Sayu and Iwalani so they wouldn't kill each other. "Here we go again."
"For real."
Yet halfway through the drama with Hideki Ryuga, the program was interrupted by a man name Lind L. Taylor, claiming to be L and was openly defying Kira on public television. While watching the announcement, Kyoko's eyes gleamed with elation and wild glee.
"L's brilliant," Kyoko whispered breathlessly.
Oh L really is. But I wasn't going to tell Kyoko that the real genius behind this masterplan was the other detective, V. Oh no, the game wouldn't be as fun if I gave Kyoko all the answers.
The other three heads whipped towards Kyoko in surprise.
"Um?" Iwalani fully expected for Kyoko to explain.
"That's not the real L, the real L would never be that stupid." Kyoko said, munching on Sachiko's delicious mint cookies. "He's goading Kira into revealing where Kira is, notice how Lind L. Taylor said this was being broadcasted worldwide, but he's speaking in Japanese. He's targeting Japan, or probably the Kanto region."
A spark lit in Sayu's eyes, the answer dawning on her. "L is also trying to see if Kira can really kill from a distance, and if Kira needs a name or a face or both to kill."
"Kira will most likely respond to killing Lind L. Taylor, because Kira is childish and arrogant," Waratah added. "Amazing."
Iwalani gasped in disbelief. "L is really a genius. And he'll probably reveal that Lind L. Taylor isn't the real L after Kira kills him. Which means Kira won't be able to kill L since L never shows his face, and no one knows what L's real name is."
"Boom." All four did a four way five high, thrilled they figured it out.
I'm so proud of all of my girls. I'll need to tell Reagan this later, he'll be positively elated beyond words. And soon enough, Lind L. Taylor died on screen (a little morbid to show on public TV though, you trying to traumatize young children, L?) and this fancy old English font type L appeared on the screen. L's insignia. Exactly as Kyoko, Iwalani, Waratah and Sayu predicted, L spouted out everything they had said.
"We're brilliant," Iwalani giggled crazily.
They finished the drama before Sayu kicked them all out of her house. Soon Waratah and Iwalani separated from the group, each going to their respective homes.
"Anyone trailing me?" Kyoko asked in a hushed voice.
"No, going feeding tonight?" I asked my own question. Because if she was, I'll have to ask her to buy some caramel beforehand.
"Yeah, I haven't eaten in over a month. Yes, I'll buy you some caramel," Kyoko added, spotting my pleading eyes. "Why not just get Reagan to buy you some, people can actually see him despite him being a Reaper. Besides, you can make yourself visible, even without people touching your Death Note."
Yeah….. That's a no. I'm way too lazy to go myself.
"You are super lazy, so I doubt you'll want to buy caramel yourself," Kyoko sighed, rolling her eyes and smiling softly.
Oh you know me so well dearest!
LIGHT POV
I'll kill him. I swear I'll kill that infuriating L. Not only did he trick me into revealing where I was, but he also openly defied me! Those who don't agree with my ideals must go, they'll have no place in the new world I'm creating. Behind me, I heard Ryuk cackle that insane laugh he does occasionally.
"What's so funny?" I hissed angrily, still majorly pissed about tonight's events.
"Someone's mad!" Ryuk wheezed out in pure amusement.
"If you're not going to be helpful, then please refrain from bothering me," I growled lowly, slamming myself into my chair.
Ryuk snickered again. He was one of the creepiest things I've ever come face to face with.
"Well, I thought you might want to know this, but I think that white haired girl has a Death Note as well."
My head snapped up towards Ryuk and a sinister smile crept onto my face. "That's interesting, but there's three of them with white hair. Which one?"
"The short haired one."
Mikan Kyoko. If she truly had a Death Note, then this could change the whole game very quickly. If L won her over to his side first however, I'd be in some deep shit. "Ryuk, what makes you so certain?"
Ryuk grinned coyly, in a creepy way of course. "There was a weird presence around her, a Shinigami aura. But I didn't see another Shinigami. I recognize the energy though, she definitely has a Death Note and a Shinigami. In fact, I think she might have the eyes…"
I let that last word slide by me. I would have to win Mikan-san over, and fast. Together, we could be the god and goddess of the new, perfect world. We could kill L and rule. She'd have to see my logic, and if not, I'd just kill her. It was that easy.
Yes, it would be very easy to manipulate Mikan Kyoko.
For the record, Light doesn't know how smart and cunning Kyoko is. So that will probably be his downfall. Hope you all enjoyed, and if you're confused about the point of view, it's first person. But Kyoko is the main character, and follows her story, but it's not in her point of view. Rather, it's in the point of view where someone is constantly hovering over her shoulder and knows her every move and sometimes emotion. Now that I think about it, it's confusing for me too….
