Chapter 2

AN: Hey there readers! First of all I wanted to thank deathnotefan09 for letting me work on this with her. Secondly, thank you to all you readers who read this! You're the best! *Pokes you on nose* I know our writing styles are probably a little different but bear with us. I hope you enjoy!

All Light could hear about after that extremely intense broadcast was L and Kira this L and Kira that. He had to admit, it really was interesting. Light wanted to help catch the criminal Kira, but he figured he knew an opportunity like that would never come.

Later that day Light went up into his room and stared out the window. "There are so many terrible people in this world." He thought. "Kira is just one of them. What I wouldn't do to help L win this!" Just then, Sayu came knocking on Light's door. "LIGHT! I NEEEED help with my Quadratic Functions!" "And by that you mean you want me to do it for you, am I right?" Light knew he was right.

After quickly finishing all of Sayu's homework, Light's dad, Soichiro Yagami, arrived home for dinner. At the dinner table, the Yagami family mostly talked about school, until of course, the Kira case came up. You see, Light's dad is an investigator. Soichiro described the case as "A wild goose chase." Light thought to himself: "They obviously have no leads. Maybe it's time I tried to look into this case myself; it might take a lot of stress off dad."

A few days later, while Light was walking home from school, he felt like he was being stalked. He had no idea why he felt this way, but he didn't bother looking behind him, because if there was no one there then he would look stupid and it would ruin his reputation. When Light entered his house, his dad was talking on the phone with someone, probably from work. "Masaaki Shirami...mhmmm...five pointed star...letter...ok..." Light couldn't catch what the other person on the phone was saying but by the sounds of his father, it was another Kira victim.

The next day, Light had to take Sayu to Spaceland. At the bus stop which Light was approaching, he could see Sayu jumping excitedly. "I haven't been there since grade five!" She exclaimed happily. "Thank you so much." "Don't mention it." Light really didn't mind taking Sayu to Spaceland, in fact, Light didn't mind helping anyone in need.

Once the bus came, they boarded and sat in front of a short haired man in a coat. Sayu looked out the window, probably thinking about what a great time she'll have at Spaceland, when quite a strange looking fellow boarded the bus. Suddenly, he pulled out a gun, pointed it at the bus driver and shouted "THIS BUS HAS JUST BEEN HIJACKED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" At first everyone on the bus seemed confused, then once they understood what was happening they began to tremble with fear, including Sayu and Light, but Light was not shaking with fear, he was shaking with anger. "Yet another scumbag in this world." Light angrily thought. He clenched his fist but could not do a thing. He felt so helpless, what first with the Kira case and now this.

The man behind Light and Sayu stood up just enough to poke his head in between Sayu and Light. "Don't worry." He said. "My name is Raye Penber, I'm an F.B.I. agent, I'll take care of things." "HEY YOU! HOLD IT! WHAT'S THAT PAPER?" The criminal shouted at a hooded person, with a small note sized piece of paper on the aisle floor right next to him. It looks like he dropped it. The hooded person did not move an inch. The criminal walked down the aisle and picked up the note. "What is this? WA? AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!" The criminal randomly started screaming at nothing. "YOU! IN THE BACK THERE!" Light saw Raye Penber reaching for his gun. "Looks like he's been found out! But how?" Light thought. BANG. BANG. BANGBANGBANG. No shots were fired from Raye Penber. The only thing is, the back of the bus had 5 bullet holes through it. The criminal was shooting at nothing. He screamed once more and started running off the bus. Raye chased after him, dropping his badge. The criminal tripped on the steps trying to get off and fell on the road. SMASH. Blood splattered on the side of the bus. He had been hit by a car. Light seemed to be the only one that noticed, but while everyone was fixed on the chase, the hooded person unlocked the emergency exit and had disappeared, along with Raye Penber's badge.

As you could probably tell that ruined the whole trip to Spaceland. Sayu and Light were told to go home by the police; once they arrived their mother was confused as to why they were home so early. They explained the whole thing and their mom began to cry and hug them and whisper "I'm so glad you're okay." Through her tears.

That night, the nine o'clock news came on Light's favorite channel. Of course, the reporter talked about the fiasco on the bus going to Spaceland. After the whole story was retold on the news, Light was startled to hear the reporter say this: "An undercover F.B.I. agent who was on this bus named Raye Penber has been reported dead. According to rumours he died of a heart attack on a subway train. Police believe he is yet another victim of the Kira-" Light turned off the T.V. He wanted to hear no more of this Kira person unless his name was used in the sentence "We've caught Kira."

The next morning was a Saturday and Light's dad called a family meeting. "I've called you today because I thought it would be best to tell you...I am in charge of the Task Force leading the Kira investigation case." Light finally saw his chance. "Dad! Let me help, I'm sure with my amazing intellect and charming good looks I could be of use!" "NO." Light's dad gave a pretty straight forward response. "Anyone going against Kira risks death. I cannot put you in that situation." Light knew that there was no point in arguing, he was just being a good father after all. "Okay dad, but if anything happens to you..." Light stood up and made his way up the stairs and to his bedroom. "I'll make sure Kira gets the death penalty."

AN: Wow! That was fun chapter to write! Lots happened didn't it!? Who the heck was that hooded dude? Why did the ugly criminal guy randomly go insane? POOR RAYE! I know you are all probably thinking this is a lot like the original story but don't worry! I promise you things will start to get different in the next few chapters! What, with the inclusion of a certain lovable Psycho and all...
