27nd July. Hot summer. Sweating bodies. Chained.
Another day filled with Kira horrors.
Both of us staring at the wide screen, listening to what the heads have to say about the next assasination. 1 in 7. A 1 in 7 chance which any person sitting there could be Kira. At least it was better than the 'less than 1' when I was suspected. It would not be easy to rid of that possibility, but it is not impossible. Well, it just all depends on who had the better brains. The test of wits.
I'll just make sure I'm the victor at the end.
'Ne, Yagami-kun, let's say you saw a stranger, pale and sick, and he was beaten up by group of guys. What would you do? Would you call the police or fight?' L suddenly spoke, while trying to add another sugar cube to his few centimeters high tower.
Sigh. It was just another trap of his. Trying to create a situation somewhat identical to those of Kira victims, intending to find similarities between my answer and Kira's killing patterns. The past Kira made mercy killings, while the present made merciliess ones. Any answer I give must bear no resemblence to these. If I choose 'fight', that itself alone would increase the suspicion since Kira was protrayed as a god of justice, a slayer of evil, one that strongly believes in his Utopian ideas and would resort to anything to do that, inclduing killing. it doesn't even matter if the person deserve it, or not.
Just like all of his victims. Kira would not hesitate to rid the world of sins.
Furthermore, choosing to call the police is stil a much logical choice in any way. L percieved the past Kira as one who was a genius. one that thinks thoroughly before he does anything. Not forgetting, a young kid at mind. No doubt, he would not choose to fight, with odds against him.
However, at the last minute, I changed my mind.
'Fight.' I said, leaning back, putting my hands on the back of my head, and let out a huge sigh.
'It was never a question of fight or not fight, right, Ryuzaki-san? Neither was it a question that requires logical processing of that situtation.'
'Hm, I wonder..' he replied, eyes fixed onto his tower, downright ignoring me.
'You were just convinced that Kira is a coward, weren't you? Hiding behind the mask of his, killing people without being in contact with them.' This time round, I wasn't as calm as before. A burning fire surged in the deep of my heart.
'You just think that he is a coward right?' I repeated, spitting the words out like they were of disgust to me.
and.. you just thought that I fit the description perfectly, didn't you?
Shocked. It was more than just shocked. I was confused. Why would have became that emotional over that simple question? It was so unusual of me to be like that. Is it even me? I don't recognize the one that said all those anymore. Maybe, Maybe it's the heat.
Maybe it's just summer.
