~Rain down,
Forshadowing my pains.
Rain down,
On sorrows yet to come.~
Ryuu's POV
Just as I thought. This will be difficult. Naomi and Beyond were argueing again. "Well, Ryuukin said I could!" Beyond yelled, throwing hi hands in the air. Naomi looked shocked,"Why would she say that? It's crazy!" "She's got some sense is why! I think it's a great idea!" Beyond replied.
I sighed, after all it's not that bad,"Maybe it's not a good idea, but I am quiet insane." Naomi turned on me anger becoming apparent. "Why in God's name would you say he could stab L?" I blinked, I've never seen Naomi angry before."Relax, Naomi. Beyond agreed not to kill him or cause any fatal injuries. Besides, you have the collar." I gestured to the collar around Beyond's neck.
"...I do not approve of the collar...I'm not a dog..." Beyond muttered. "It's just a precaution, wait let's test it. Naomi, care to do the honors?" I asked, holding out a small remote. She grinned devilishly as she spoke the codeword,"Sit."
Almost instantly, Beyond was on the ground, twitching. "Ryuukin-san, you are truely evil." Naomi said, nodding to me." I try. Also, Beyond can only stab L if L tries to use trackers or bugs on either of you." "I'll alert him before hand." Naomi said, while watching Beyond struggle to his feet.
"Y-you t-t-two are e-evil..." he stuttered. "That aside, Beyond I will be calling you Rue-san. Naomi is Mana-san. Twitch and Terra are, well, Twitch and Terra. Zephyre is Z. I am Beyond-san or Beyond Justice. You are to refer to me as a male in front of L. Beyond do NOT call L by his real name." "Yeah, yeah,"Beyond muttered waving his hand dismissively.
"Time to go. Follow Twitch, Terra, and Zephyre, understand?" I said as I put hand-cuffs on Naomi and Beyond. Once they left, I rushed up to my room and shut the door. "This is gonna be fun." Tikoga said, snickering. I nodded.
L's POV
The kids should be coming soon. They were never late before so, why now? Apparently, my answer came quick. "Panda-san!" That's all I heard before being knocked to the ground. Looking up I saw the strange twins sitting on my stomach."Ya miss us panda-san? We missed you! Oh we might not be here for a little while, kay?" Twitch asked, practically shrieking. "Yeah, so we've got replacements!" Terra added before I could answer.
Replacements? I must admit, I was slightly upset by the news. For the past few days, these children have been coming here and annoying me like no tomarrow. The could not sit still, climbing on the furnature, fighting, and eating my cake. The boy, Twitch, once climbed the drapes and perched there until they fell. Even so, I would miss them and all their annoying habits.
They were pulled off of me by a young woman, who I recognized as Naomi Misora. She had helped me on the L.A. BB murder cases. Once I was back on my feet I noticed that she was hand-cuffed to someone. Looking closer I realized she was cuffed to Beyond Birthday.
My suprise didn't go unnoticed, seeing as she began to explain. "Beyond Justice found him wandering the streets and decided to help him. He is to be called Rue-san during this case to avoid confusion. I go by Mana-san. Also a warning, Beyond-san has given Rue-san to stab you if you try using bugs or trackers. One stab for each bug or tracker."
"So you better tell Watari to remove all bugs or trackers he planted in Mana-san's jacket." A voice said. I turned around to see that the twins had their laptop out and on. "Lucky for you, panda-san, Watari only managed to place one bug. Rue-san..." Beyond ustice trailed off.
I started to turn back only to feel a sharp, searing pain in my arm. The real Beyond had stabbed me with a blunt pocket knife, so I can assume that the computerized Beyond was not likely to lie. I'd say about 75% of the time he wouldn't lie to us, but that doesn't mean he won't keep secrets.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that..." Rue paused as if refraining from saying something. Although I was curious I didn't dare say more on the subject. "P-Please have a seat..." I said clutching my bleeding arm.
Mana and Rue sat on the couch next to a fidgety Matsuda. I sat in a chair in my usual crouch, noticing that Rue sat the same way. After acting like me for so long it must have become a habit. "Um...L...er I mean...Ryuuzaki? Your arm is-" " It's fine...I don't really mind." I said, hoping they would drop the subject.
There was a light weight on my bloody arm. Looking over I saw Twitch and Terra. Terra was holding my arm still while her brother carefully bandaged it. Once they were done, they scurried to the other side of the room, leaving me to wonder why they would do that.
Terra's POV
I noticed the confused look we got from L. Well it's not our fault, we hated blood, the sight of it brought back terrible memories. That and we like L, he's nice to us and reminds me of Ryuu-chan. We would miss L, but we haven't been in school for awhile amd we had to go back.
Twitch and I played silently in the corner. I brushed Zephyre's hair for her, since she loved it so much. Terra, that L guy, I think he wants you to stay. I saw the look he got when you told him you'd be gone for awhile. You and Twitch may be annoying, but everyone likes you two. Zephyre's voice rang in my head.
"Panda-san? Zephyre says you want us to stay..." I said. He ignored me, but that was fine since he was busy. Terra, are they talking about Mana-san's fiancee? I nodded. Well, tell them that Kira might be part of one of the families Mana-san's fiancee was following a week before he died.
"Panda-san! Zephyre says Kira may be in one of the families Penber-san was investigating the during the week before he died!" I called out. Everyone turned to face me. "And how did you come up with that conclusion?" L asked. "Zephyre told me." I replied. "Terra Zephyre is a doll and therefore cannot talk. This is not a game, so please explain." L said sounding annoyed.
I really felt like kicking him, but he didn't know about Zephyre. "How's this then? Penber was investigating two families that week, so maybe he had to show someone his ID for some reason. That person may have been Kira or someone threatened by Kira." Although L looked slightly annoyed, he seemed pleased with that answer.
"And who was he investigating?" Yagami-san asked L. "The families of a Koreyoshi Kitamura and, of course, Yagami-san." Ryuu said through the screen. "Beyond-san, there is no way you could have known that. No one told you who was being investigated."
"That's fine L, I figured you wouldn't tell me much, so I hacked your system, copied the information, and erased all signs of ever doing so."
L's POV
God how I hate Beyond Justice. If it's not bad enough that he is contacting both Kira and myself, he has to hack my system and steal information that could destroy the task force. He must enjoy toying with people. The only way I can see the twins working for him, is if he's family.
I figured I should ignore him for now, since this new information is more important."Very well, please place bugs and cameras in these homes." "You can't do that! That's illegal in Japan!" Matsuda yelled. "Yeah! We'll be fired if we're caught!"Aizawa said, agreeing with Matsuda."Do you value your jobs over human lives?" I said.
"I cannot stand to have my family under suspicsion. Please place the cameras everywhere, even the bathrooms. I want every angle covered, no blindspots." Just as I thought, Yagami-san agreed with me. "Yes, I was going to do that anyway."
"Sounds like you, L. No respect for human rights." I could not ignore that, Beyond Justice was always like trying to annoy me. "Beyond-san, we are trying to catch a serial killer. I am only doing my job." It was quiet for a second and I hoped that I had beat him. How wrong I was. " What's the matter L? Did I hit a weak spot? You hate having your authority questioned, don't you?"
Why? Why does he insist on playing games? " Another thing L. I'm sure you'll be changing hotels soon, probably after the cameras are installed. I will meet you then."
