A/N) Second chapter is done! Hope you enjoy it! I particularly had a hard time debating on whether I should include OC's or not. However, plot advancement required them.
Disclaimer!~ I do not own Danny Phantom or Death Note or any other cartoons, books, and/or anime/manga referenced in this story! I only own the plot I have created!
Coming to Japan had to be the best decision I've ever made. Sure I had some problems with the language barrier at first, but with the help of a kind, middle-aged woman, named Yuki Kannou, I was able to understand what was being said with little difficulty. I currently work for said kind woman in my spare time. In payment for teaching me Japanese and letting me stay with her and her daughter, Aiko, I work for her in her bakery. It was torture that was made worse thanks to my sensitive nose, smelling all the delicious sweets and not being able to taste them.
Yuki is a widow, her husband having died half a year before I came to Japan. She had been having problems paying her house payment due to her husband's, Rei's, unexpected death. When we found out about each other's problems, me not having a place to stay and Yuki not being able to keep up with payments, we decided to kill two birds with one stone. I rather don't mind Yuki, and I swear Aiko is truly an angel in human form. Yuki works while I go about my classes and I can watch Aiko, and study while working as a cashier. Yuki's bakery earned quite a bit of popularity with me and Aiko there. Though I'm certain that it's mostly thanks to Aiko, the girls that come by must be giggling over her cuteness. I had introduced the idea of Aiko helping us by bringing people their orders to Yuki. She said she'd experiment with the idea.
A week after I asked Yuki about Aiko helping us in the bakery, Aiko was brought in and introduced to the appliances and told where she could and couldn't go. When she asked why she couldn't go in some spaces, like the freezer, I told her that she could possibly get hurt, and that would make me and Yuki very sad. I explained this to her because I didn't want to traumatize her by saying there were monsters in those areas. After making her promise that she wouldn't go into any of the off-limits spaces, we showed her the many different types of pastries we can make and told her what she would be doing. By the time customers started to arrive, Aiko had been dressed in a miniature version of her mother's work uniform. I will admit that she was very adorable, with her turquoise blouse embroidered with little white and purple circular candies on a small pocket on her left side that carried tiny mints and a white skirt that went to her knees complete with the bakery logo, "Sweetie Bell," stitched into it on the right hip.
Aiko helping us had been a good idea. She greeted people at the door and brought their orders to them when Yuki or I finished ringing them up. Aiko loved it, from the many boisterous people to all of the varying scents, as she told me later. Yuki decided that Aiko was welcome to help any time she wished to, since things went so well. The bonus to having Aiko helping us was the lack of struggle she gave against having a nap. Aiko may have loved helping at the bakery, but, by the end of the day, she was exhausted. The more sleep she got, the more Yuki and I got to rest. All in all, it was a major bonus indeed.
Though, on the topic of "resting," it seems as if crime has been hibernating lately, or rather, holding its breath. Just the other day there was another news bulletin about another score of prison inmates dying of heart attacks, and according to the prison guards, they had been perfectly fine the minute before. With all these deaths of criminals from all over the world, all of them being caused by heart attacks, I have no doubt that representatives from all of those countries are going to come together soon. They'll most likely hold an ICPO meeting, with all those people coming at the same time. I also doubt that this series of deaths hasn't garnered the interest of at least one of the world's best detectives, L, Eraldo Coil, or Deneuve, if not all of them.
I've been doing a bit of my own investigating, gathering information, charting the numbers of deaths by country, as well as a bit of snooping. I have concluded that the United States has had the most deaths amongst criminals so far. Finding this information was quite easy, for me anyway. Bouncing the signal of my computer off multitudes of other signals and hacking into prison databases with little of a hard time. Who knew watching Thomas hack so much would come to be so useful? It also helped that the Japanese Police database was so loose. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else was looking at their information, like, oh, I don't know, Kira?
I'm going to try getting into the Interpol meeting, I could probably overshadow one of the newer policemen to do so. Perhaps I'll track that Touta Matsuda person that came into the bakery a while back with a duplicate for a couple of days and get a glimpse of his personality. According to the data in the database, he's still a green policeman, so not a lot of people may know him completely just yet. From what other information I saw on him, he's to go to the Interpol meeting with Soichiro Yagami, the highly regarded chief of the NPA. I can send a duplicate to school, but maybe I should just follow Matsuda while I'm invisible instead of overshadowing him. Yes, I shall do that. I shall only overshadow him if the need arises.
If, on the chance I do need to overshadow him, I will have to be very careful of my word choices, make sure to keep my eyes from glowing and keep my voice from slipping through his. Hopefully, the Interpol meeting will be in a large room, as I expect it to be. That way the echo of my voice will simply be disregarded.
If who I think has taken an interest in this "Kira" case, this Interpol meeting will no doubt be a spectacle to see.
Please leave any comments on what I could improve upon or anything you liked! Remember that flames, however, shall not be tolerated.
