The beeping of L's computer interrupted the silence in the headquarters of the Kira-team investigation.
L answered it immediately knowing exactly who it was "What is it Watari?" he asked.
"Ryuzaki! Turn on the TV on Sakura television now!" said Watari.
L didn't need to be told twice, with the tone of urgency in Watati's voice L immediately turned the main screen to Sakura TV. The scene was of a familiar school as a reporter was reporting, "…- high school has been attacked less than an hour ago and gunshots have been heard and several injured students were sent to the hospital while some are still inside. Seems like there are some students trapped in the school which might be hostages…"
L heard a gasp from behind him. He didn't need to turn knowing that it came from the chief of police Soichiro Yagami. And a 'oh my God!' comment from Matsuda.
"Watari, we need to get close to the school ASAP." Ryuzaki requested. He was sitting in his usual trademark position with his foot at the edge of the char and his knees close to his chest.
"Right away." Nodded Watari and went to work.
"Everyone, we are to leave shortly, so please be ready." Said Ryuzaki. Usually L would leave the field work to the police. He would always be safe behind a computer but something in him stirred. He didn't know why nor what but he just had to be there. Yet, the real reason would be that he really wanted to catch Kira in the act. If Light Yagami was really 'Kira' this might be the only chance he'd get of catching him.
"Everyone, we are to leave shortly, please be ready." Said L; was this a coincidence for this to happen in the school that Yagami Light attended? L asked himself mentally, Light, the primary Kira suspect never seems to fail in confusing him. Light was indeed an enigma that he's interested to solve.
Later, the entire members of Kira's investigation team found themselves to be in a van fully equipped by Watari right outside the school. Arriving at the scene was sickening for anyone. But it was on another stage of overwhelming when it came to parents. Soichiro Yagami for instance was sick with worry for his son, yet his current job status he was forced to worry for the other hostages as well.
The school was surrounded by cops, reporters, outraged yet sick with worry parents and the hard to dismiss the dozen ambulance with paramedics all over the school campus.
To put it all bluntly it was chaos.
To L, the only reason he even considered the Kira case was because it was interesting. He hadn't had an interesting case in a while. And this seemed to be more than a challenge for him.
Ray Penber was the key that made Light suspicious at first. It was more than a gut feeling and the minor evidence told him not to dismiss the teen. At the beginning the killings were a dead giveaway that Kira was nothing but a student because it fit as a school-timetable. That was enough for him to suspect the Light. But the problem here was the lack of evidence.
And to find evidence, L would go to extreme measures. And that he did. By installing surveillance camera's all over the Yagami household. It was only for a week. And his suspicious only grew when he saw Light's perfection. Something was just not right, and he was going to find out what.
Soichiro let out a heavy sigh, both from exhaustion and frustration. Clearly he was worried. "Light is not in any of the hospitals." He said after ending the recent phone call.
"That's good!" said Matsuda in a relief. "He is not hurt."
"I hope you are right Matsuda but we can't be sure of that." Said Mogi.
"Huh?" questioned Matsuda thinking of it and then said, "Oh, you are right. Light-kun might still be in there."
Just then Soichioro's phone started ringing. He picked it up and answered immediately. It was the head of the police task force. "Yagami-san," Came the gruff tone of his superior "I'm sure you are aware of the situation of Tokyo's high school."
"Yes sir." Confirmed Soichiro.
"And if I'm right, I am pretty sure that you are already there at the moment."
Sighing Soichiro replied. "Yes, I am."
"I know you are currently working on the Kira case but, I am assigning you to take care of the present situation. I hope I don't need to remind you to not let your emotions get in the way of your duty. I am completely I aware that your son might be there."
"I understand. Thank you."
"I am not doing this because I want to, it is because I have no choice."
"Hai, I understand."
"Keep me updated." With that the call ended.
Getting the attention of the Kira case members Soichiro said, "That was the head of the police task force. We have permission to put the Kira case on hold for the moment and work on this situation."
As soon as Light was shoved into one of the many classrooms he tried to get as far away as possible from the masked man who was handling his sensitive body brutally.
The first thing Light noticed that he was not the only one in the classroom. Two girls and six other boys and he made nine in total. Nine hostages.
One of the girls who he recognized as Rikko was crying her heart out silently and the other girl who he figured was a freshman was curled into a tight ball looking terrified. The other six guys weren't any different.
"You bitch better stop crying and shut up before I put a bullet in that pretty face of yours." Said the guy who was going to be the first name he writes in his death note as soon as he got the chance. 'If only I could see your ugly face that is covered by that mask and your name I will give you the mother of heart attacks, you bastard.' Light thought to himself.
Light started to mentally think over the current situation. There was no way these two masked men are the only ones responsible for the school attack. There definitely are more of them scattered all around the school. He sighed. Having guns pointed at him made him useless. There was nothing he could do at the moment. He knew not their faces, neither their names so for now the small pieces of death note in his watch was also useless. All he had to do was wait until they slip up or until the police rescue them. If he's right and his father is working with L, this nightmare could end up soon. At least he hopes so.
One of the masked men approached the hostages with a bag as the other was pointing his gun at them and said, "You kids get your watches, wallets and any type of accessories you're wearing and put them in here."
Light panicked but nevertheless sighed in defeat. That was his only defense he had on him. Luck is so not on my side today. Think positive, if I get the chance to kill anyone here by heart attacks L might suspect me and put me back under surveillance.
The masked men sat the group of teenagers together in a corner of the classroom. By the sounds of the loud police and ambulance sirens they were aware that the news of their 'action' was spread and by now they were surrounded from all sides.
Light observed the attackers, they didn't seem bothered at all by the police sirens and the chaos happening. It made him question their motives. What were they even thinking? Were they doing this for fun? Were they challenging Kira? Or were they purely insane?
At the sound of helicopters which Light thought would be the news team one of the men smirked and said, "It's about time to start this game."
"My my, look what we have here." The other one said looking at out the window. And at that moment they heard a voice over a high speaker and Light recognized it as his father. About time dad!
"This is the police, the school is surrounded. If you don't gi-" The man that was looking out of the window shot in the direction of the voice. "Damn I missed!" he said later.
"Cut it out Koji!" said the other one obviously not happy with the other's attitude.
Koji, I hope that is not a fake name. Hoped Light. Damn it! Even if it's true I can't kill him since I don't know how his ugly face looks like and I don't have any more hidden notes other than the one in the watch. I'm so helpless. This sucks.
Relief washed over Light knowing that Koji missed. If something happened to his father… he didn't even want to think about it.
Suddenly one of the hostages, a boy who Light recognized as one of the schools troublemaker charged and made an attempt to attack Koji. There were only two masked men and nine hostages, so as if on cue Light attacked the other one.
Big mistake. Light wondered if he would live through this enough to regret it. This guy was way too stronger than him. Damn! This man is built. Light punched the guy once and his heart sank, it didn't seem to affect him at all whereas his fist hurt like hell. Light made another attempt, putting a lot of energy in this punch but before he got the chance to connect to his target he found himself on the ground being kicked repeatedly. Pain shot from his body. Ouch! Shit it hurts. Tears formed in his eyes. He never gets into fights and pain was something he wasn't used to.
Suddenly a gunshot was heard.
Light subconsciously faced the source of the shot and froze. The other boy who attacked Koji was now lying lifeless on the floor with a hole between his eyes.
This was the first time Light ever witnesses someone innocent die in front of him and it was awful. His eyes widened in shock and fear. Yes, he did kill with heart-attacks or accidents when necessary but they were guilty yet having to witness it and in close-up was terrifying. His heart sank and it hurt. Why? Why was it painful to watch? That could have been me, he thought.
Koji laughed, "Woof- That was a workout!" he said panting with a huge smirk on his face. "Want some help Hiro?" he asked the one attacking Light.
"That was unnecessary." Hiro replied coldly. He crouched down to Light and yanked him by his hair forcing Light to look at him. "You do something stupid like this again I will put several holes between your eyes." Hiro warned Light. "Do you understand?"
Light nodded, desperately trying hard to hide the fear in his eyes. As soon as Hiro let go of Light's hair, he put as much distance as possible. This man officially scared him. His eyes and voice held evil in them.
"Please let us go." One of the girls pleaded. "Please."
"Nope, can't do sweetie. We need hostages to kill." Said Koji smirking.
"Aren't you afraid of Kira?" one of the other hostages said.
"As long as we have our faces covered that's not a problem. No face, no name, no death." Replied Koji confidently and chuckled. Hiro on the other hand said nothing.
Light couldn't help himself, "Your name is Koji and his name is Hiro." Said Light, intimidating this idiot. Though he didn't need them to know that Kira should know their last name in order to kill his victims. "Just a face is left for your death."
Suddenly Hiro made his way to Light and grasped his jaw painfully as he whispered in his ear, "You kid seem to be smart and as a smartass you better learn to keep your mouth shut or else." These words were said slowly and dangerously as the end of the gun Hiro was carrying pressed roughly against Light's head.
Hiro let go of the teen but none too gently. Light was pushed hard against the nearest wall with strength enough to wind him up with an 'Ooof' and an 'ouch'. He winced a bit but didn't show it.
"You want a valuable hostage?" One of the hostages started to say which Light recognized as one of the school's popular bully 'Gen' besides the troublemaker who now lay lifeless in the middle of the classroom.
The masked men didn't seem interested since they appear like they didn't even hear him in the first place. But Gen wouldn't have that so he pressed on, "What if I tell you that there is a policeman's son between us?"
'What the Fuck! !' Light panicked. 'That son of bitch! How dare he! I'm so gonna kill him!' Light cursed and swore mentally. This day was just getting worse and worse by the second.
Gen successfully got Hiro and Koji's attention.
Light's heart skipped a beat when seconds later Hiro's gaze fell on him. He felt those cold eyes piercing through him. 'Damn it! That fucking Gen must have pointed on me.'
Koji chuckled, "Jackpot."
Hiro smiled. Light haven't seen Hiro smile before and he realized that his smile was radiating more evilness if possible.
"Seems like luck is on our side." Hiro said approaching Koji, "Change of plans."
Yikes, Light's day is getting worse and worse by the second. Anyways, I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. Reviews would really be awesome.
