Light scurried around the apartment complex, eying all doors that came into his perceptive vision. Crack. "You looking for something, Light?" Light turned and found himself taking a defensive stance, but his face clung onto the same monotone expression he'd been clinging onto moments before. "No, I was just looking for someone."
The taller teenager inched closer and a crazy wide smile spread and parted his lips. "I hope you were looking for me-?" Light winced and his eyebrows darted, with his mask cracked, he began to take slow, heavy steps back. "Not going to answer are you, are you looking for Ryuk?"
Light stopped his own escape and looked him in the eyes, "Yes, I'm looking for Ryuk."
"That's silly, you know you can't see him anymore."
"Will, I need to see him."
Will started taking strides to Light until he was shuddering in his arm's reach, he leaned into Light's unprotected ear, "The boy who was too scared to use the Death Note needs to talk with Ryuk?" "Yes I need to see him." Will stole a kiss off of Light's check, "if you really wanna go back there, by all means, but I can't say you'll get out alive… or untouched."
"Oi! Kira we have a visitor!" "Don't call me that Will!" Kira's eyes fell down onto Light and he grinned, staring as if his eyes alone could tear the boy apart. The room was poorly lit the warehouse windows letting in enough dusty like to see Kira among the other metal and rusted objects in the large space.
"What brings you back into the lion's den?" "Ryuk." Light looked over to Ryuk, as far as they were concerned he was a normal boy. Well they were quite wrong. If they were RIGHT he wouldn't even remember who Ryuk was…
"You can't see him can you, you can't hear him- if you're willing to make a deal-" "Depends on the deal."
"How about my proposition from the last time-?"
"Last time I declined, yet you continued with it regardless, and the time before that you simply took the death note."
"You didn't use it, and what do you expect from me?" Light shuddered and fought to keep his knees from buckling, his eyes scanned the room warily, he had to hope on Ryuk's interest now... Will and two of his other lackeys had come to his sides eying him viciously, yet none of the fools were guarding the door to the makeshift lair.
"RYUK YOU BETTER FOLLOW ME!" Light began a genuine scream as he sprinted out of the building, purposely going over fenced paths that Ryuk could easily fly through faster than the goons following him. After he lost them he turned back at Ryuk, panting heavily. "I- need... the scythe."
"Just to kill Kira with?" Light coughed and fought out his next words, "mostly- yes!" "Sounds interesting enough." Ryuk grabbed the scythe that he'd had to lug around for the past month, and pushed it onto Light. "We're changing locations, and don't think I'll tell you where we're going." "I don't- think- it'll... be that hard to find, a Maurice Richard."
"Kekekeke, bye Light."
Light hands fidgeted on his school desk, ignoring the constant ramblings of history that pronounced themselves out of his teacher's mouth.
He couldn't find Kira. He wasn't even close, he didn't want to wait long enough for them to seek him out, Light needed a plan.
He was annoyed by the constant vibrations coming from the girl's phone next to him, her background was an old English L. He shook his head slightly, the girl's name was Abby for crying out loud. Light stopped himself, he'd seen it before on the screens outside on his way home, the great detective L was on the Kira case. Light began to twirl his pencil around across the sheet of paper that was spread on his desk for 'notes'.
Light was puzzled, his father was currently on the case, this wasn't like most cases which he could join due to his father's influence, Light needed a reason for L to want him on the case.
The only way L would want a high school student on the Kira case, is if the said student was a suspect. Being the great detective he was, L wouldn't convict him unless he was positive.
Light sighed, he had some research to do when he finally came home. "Light would you please inform us on the difference between Mesopotamia and Egypt?" Light stood quickly stunned the teacher had called on him, "Mesopotamia had a much darker and pessimistic outlook on life, the afterlife and in their artwork." "Good job Light-kun." This might become, quite possibly, very easy.
Light had hacked his father's place on the police database, it was only available to those on the Kira case, he scanned page after page and after that he looked at the entire file, under closer inspection he noticed what he believed to be Kira's trace.
He quickly hacked and followed it, they were still in Kanto, Light at least had their basic location. He quickly deleted the trace, he needed L to suspect him of being Kira, not Kira himself, he wanted Kira dead not rotting in some cell, or on death row, he wanted the honor of killing him. Himself.
Light laid back in his chair after deleting his own trace, he only had to wait, he was the right age, Kira had to have seen the files and he had easy access. Light just had to wait for L to find him.
