Chapter 2:

M

The next night, I snuck out again. This time, I didn't wander around. I went straight to the place where I last saw the girl.

And there she was. She was lying on the road. She was staring vacantly at the sky.

I walked over to her.

"Hey," I said, raising a hand, but she did not take her eyes off the sky. She didn't even seem to acknowledge my presence.

I waited for her to answer, but then I figured out that she wouldn't.

I walked over to her. I stared at her for awhile: she was wearing the same clothes, and she was bare feet.

Then, with a sigh, I lay down next to her.

She finally noticed my presence. She sat straight up.

"What are you doing?"

Her voice was cold.

"Exactly what you were doing," I replied.

"And what was I doing?"

"Thinking," I said, now looking at her.

Her skin was pale, and she seemed tired, but not sleepy.

She was quiet for a while, and then she lay down beside me again.

I figured that she chose to ignore my presence once again.

She lay there, not moving, and staring up at the sky.

"What's your name?" I asked after some time.

She frowned.

"You're an idiot."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, with the mass Kira murders happening, you expect me to just tell you, a stranger, my name?"

I smirked.

"I guess not."

We both continued to look at the sky.

She sighed, and suddenly sat up. She took out a phone from her pocket and called someone.

"A? I need to go check something. Could you take my post?"

I heard someone with a really high and perky voice reply, "Sure thing, M! I'll be right there."

She muttered a 'thanks' and stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"None of your business, kid. Shouldn't you be at home, sleeping at this moment?" She asked.

"Shouldn't you?"

She smiled.

"No. I should not be."

She started walking, but suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"You can call me M."

"Okay. And I'm… Ryuzaki," I replied hesitantly.

She smirked.

"Right…"

She then broke into a run, leaving me lying on the road, alone.

I got up as well, and brushed myself off.

"Who was she?" I thought, "And what was she up to?"

My watch started beeping again, so I ran back to my hotel, and got into bed, my mind buzzing with questions.
