Chapter 1
It's unbelievable, how could have I stooped so low? I was still battling between his still doubtful sincerity and his willingness to trust. I was sure that he was craving me in less ways than I craved him, but craved all the same.
Yet there was another, a girl who seemed to be head over heels more than I was. I had somehow become trapped in competition with her, which only led to being doubtful.
He swore she meant nothing to him. I took it in account still quite not understanding what it had mattered to me anyway, why that made me feel a sense of relief.
Needing to clear my mind, I headed back to the café waiting patiently to be seated removing my sunglasses. The usual names and lifespans of the "regulars" in the café floated above them, except one in particular.
He was not much to look at to most people, not hard to miss, but defiantly not a "regular". He was slouched over in an unusual sitting position with his knees hugging his chest, making very little difference for his already loose clothing.
His name floated like all the others, L. Lawliet. Is this the L that Light is so worried about?
He seemed just as harmless as anybody, enjoying a piece of cheesecake. It was almost cute the way he asked for seconds.
Defiantly someone to look into.
"Miss?"
The waitress's cheery voice interrupted my train of thought quickly tearing my gaze away from the stranger, "Yes?"
She held a menu close to her chest gesturing towards the tables, "Would you like to be seated?"
I blinked twice, an idea forming into mind, "No, I'm actually meeting someone."
"Oh." Her smile remained intact, "Can I get you anything?"
"No, I'm fine. Thanks." Not that it mattered since she hurried off.
Seizing the opportunity, I confidently walked over to his booth and slipped myself across from him. He appeared unfazed, his black eyes staring into my golden ones, "Gina Roger, I presume?"
Well that was fast, "Uh…Yeah. How did you-"
"You and Light Yagami have been seeing each other for a little over two weeks now as well as Miss Amane which you already know. I did some research on you as well as her. She provided a bit more information unfortunately. Tell me, don't you find it odd that only someone as young as yourself could only be linked by a name?"
Wow, this guy is good.
There was a reason, not that I was going to tell him. When I turned so long ago my creator had destroyed anything and everything linking me to my past life other than my name. So it was if I never existed, at least not the Gina Roger they once knew, "It looks like you're going to have dig a bit deeper if you want know more about me."
Severe interest flickered in his eyes, "Is that so?" He held a straight face, but I could practically hear the smile in his voice.
He took a bite a cheesecake, "Now that I think about it, you might even being hiding something." He swallowed, "Do you know anything about Kira?"
He was testing me. Seeing if I could reveal any secrets about Light that he didn't already know, "From what I have heard about Kira. It seems he needs a name and face to kill."
He nodded agreeing, "Have you heard anything about a possible second Kira?"
I assumed he was talking about Misa Amane, "Yeah, I've heard of her."
I bit my lip. Shit, why did I say her?
"Really? Who is this "her"?" I could sense the slight tease in his voice.
I had to remain calm, the wrong reaction and it could end up all being downhill from here, "I have no idea who it could be, but I am positive it's a girl."
He seemed less edgy, "And why do you say that?"
"Simple really. It seems unlikely that a guy would make a public statement offering to join Kira it making the world better. Only a female would be desperate enough to risk getting caught over it."
"Hmm. So your saying that it could be you?"
Okay that surprised me, "What? No! What reason would I have to kill anybody? Let alone criminals."
Unfazed he took another bite of his cheesecake, holding the fork in his mouth, "You tell me."
This guy is irritating.
"Because…because…" I slammed my hands roughly against the table reaching my limit, "because I have seen what it takes to become a killer! My parents were brutally murdered in front of my eyes!"
Embarrassment instantly washed over me as the atmosphere inside the café changed drastically surprised by my sudden outburst. Without saying a word I sat back down before causing any more unwanted trouble.
Murmuring around us ensued. God, please just kill me again.
L, appearing the most calm out of everyone, stabbed his fork through the remaining strawberry on his plate, "My percentage of you being the Second Kira was only 27%, but after that display it has dropped significantly to 10%. Even so, I highly doubt that you could be the Second Kira from my own observations."
I let out breath I hadn't realized I had been holding. Finding a bit of assurance of where I stood with him, I snatched the strawberry just before he could take a bite taking one of my own, "You seem just as trusting."
No longer a reason to stay, I stood up to leave, "It was nice meeting you…"
"Please, call me Ryuzaki."
I smiled, "Ryuzaki." I made my way to the door, slipping on my sunglasses.
I could have sworn I heard him lightly chuckle to himself, but then again I could never tell when I was hearing things either.
Crystal: I'm surprised we still have people reading this.
Sara: Me too Crystal. Me too.
Misa: Hey Misa only had a small part...
Sara: It's okay Misa you'll be mentioned in the next chapter.
Misa: *Smiles* Really?
Crystal: Yeah. Cheer up.
Misa: Yay! *hugs L, Sara and Crystal* Misa is so happy.
L: I'm glad you are. *He pats her arm*
Crystal: Yeah, whatever.
Sara: *Not really paying attention.*
Misa: *Notices Light not in the hug circle* Light, come over here and join us.
Light: Nah, I'm not that type of guy.
Misa: What?!
Sara: Anyways, while we try to get out-
Misa: *lets go of us and walks over to Light ask him why*
Sara: *Gets in front of them so the audience would pay attention to us* Review for the sake of Misa please!
Crystal: Your reviews keep us going!
