Chapter 2: Reaching a Decision

(Yuma's PoV)

It had been three days since Ryuzaki came and spent the morning of Sachiko's birthday with her. I'd found out from Ryuk through bribary of apples that Light and Misa were indeed Kira and Kira 2, but I had my doubts about telling Sachiko that. She suspected them sure, but…to confirm that suspicion was something I wasn't sure I could do. And I also managed to find out that Ryuzaki was in fact L, but I decided I wasn't going to bring that up because it wasn't really my place to say. After much debate with my conscience, I decided the best thing to do was tell her the truth about Light.

"Sachiko?" Sachiko looked up from her portable game system.

"Yeah?" she asked. I exhaled. This was going to be harder than I thought…

"Well…uhm….there's something we need to talk about…." I began. She nodded for me to continue and I rubbed the back of my neck.

"Well…it's about Light and Misa…Light….he's…he's Kira. And Misa is…obviously, the second Kira. You were right in your suspicion. Though, I suppose each of them carrying a death note was a dead give away." I said. Sachiko sighed, a mixture of disappointment and annoyance with a hint of fear.

"Stupid Light… what was he thinking, picking up and USING a death note?" she grumbled. I crossed my arms and gave her a look of amusement.

"Need I remind you that you picked up MY death note?" I commented. She pouted.

"But until I got it home, I didn't KNOW it was a death note…and I didn't use it, even after you showed up." She argued. I nodded and threw two paper wads at her playfully. She picked them up and shoved them into her backpack. She would've thrown them away, but she was feeling too lazy to get up, which is good, because no one else needed to touch the pieces of paper I'd thrown at her.

"That's right, you didn't. …Sachiko, what do you want to do about this situation? There's a possibility Misa will kill you if I kill Light, REM will kill you if I kill Misa…and Light might kill you if he finds out you support L and are against Kira…especially if he finds out that you know he's Kira. And Ryuk…eh. If he were to kill you, it'd be for kicks, but I doubt it. Especially since he's a little afraid of you." Sachiko gave me a questioning look and I sighed. She'd be pretty peeved when I told her this, but it couldn't be helped.

"I told him that you had the Death Reaper Dagger. A legendary item that we Shinigami have all heard about, but none have ever seen. One of the few ways to kill a Shinigami." I confessed. Her reaction was pretty much as expected. She took her book from the bedside table and threw it at me. As I caught it and put it back, she got ready to start cursing at me, but stopped instantly and went back to her videogame when Light and Misa came in.

"Hey, sorry we're late. I had class and Misa wanted to wait for me." Light said. Misa nodded.

"Yeah, sorry. But hey, we have good news. The doctor said you could leave tomorrow. Awesome, right?" she said. I glared daggers at both of them. I didn't bother saying anything since I knew they couldn't see me anyway, but oh, if they could have….

I forced a smile.

"That is great. So, what've you guys been up to lately?" I asked casually. Light shrugged.

"Well, I've been studying and Misa's been doing her thing. Nothing unusual." He replied. I wanted to scoff and make some remark about what I knew about them, but I was smarter than that. As I spoke to Light and Misa I knew what I was going to do….I was going to find some solid proof that they were the killers. I just didn't know how, though.

"Hey, I'm going to go get us some food. Light, why don't you come along? I'll need help carrying everybody's." Misa said after a while. Light seemed to be inconvenienced by this a little, but he went along with her anyway. When they were gone, I looked to my right and gasped. Before me were two Shinigami…like Yuma. Which meant that… those two papers must've been from Light and Misa's death notes. I glared at the dark haired one, who I assumed was Ryuk.

"You bastard! How could you twist my cousin's sense of justice?" I growled. He just laughed.

"Trust me, brat, that kid was already screwed up before I came along. I just helped him vent it out." He said. Yuma had to keep me from taking a swing at that jerk.

"You…grr….you disgust me." I growled. He scoffed.

"Better watch it, brat. Light may have ONE of my death notes, but I've got another one." I glared at him.

"Go ahead, I dare you. You're all talk, bastard." I snapped. He reached for his death note, but Rem stopped him for some reason.

"Sachiko-chan…I assure you that Ryuk is a Shinigami you'd do best not to provoke." She told me gently. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"Fine, fine…one last insult and then I'm done….now, I know what this dumbass' story is, but what about you, lady? How'd Misa get your death note?" I asked. When Rem was done explaining, I swung my legs over so they were hanging over the bed.

"I see. So…now she's helping Light, and you think of her as a good friend or something, huh? Alright…I'll make you a deal then. If you don't get in my way when I try to get Light brought to justice…OR kill me…OR let Misa find out what I'm doing and kill me….I'll make sure she doesn't get caught. Is that fair enough?" I asked. Rem nodded and Ryuk laughed once more.

"So you'd expose your own cousin to the people who want to catch him and put him to death for his actions…all for the name of justice? You humans are so much fun! Hahaha! I'm going to enjoy this!" he said. I sighed. Well….let the game begin, I suppose….

(A/N: sorry this chapter was so short. Most of the chapters that follow should be longer though, I promise)
