Chapter 2: Obsession
The date was March 21, 2004, as Beyond crouched in his chair, slurping some overly sugared coffee, watching the television in his small house a short drive from Akihabara. He bit his nail, and watched unblinkingly the small screen infront of him. It was some sort of Anime, as a boy with short brown hair, dressed mostly in blue, cupped his hands together and in between the two hands glowed magical energy. Beyond clapped in amusement, put on surgical gloves, a hair net, and a medical smock, glided over to the fridge, moved aside various frozen body parts, and took out two heads in different stages of mutilation.
Hm... so my eyes can see the name of the head with his eyes gouged out, but it stops working with the head sawed in half....
Beyond took out the other half of the second head, and then put them together and pulled them apart, put them together and pulled them apart.
It works just fine when I put the halves together, put not separately. Interesting.
He took all of the frozen remains, walked out into the middle of nowhere with no neighbors around, which was at the backyard of his house, started a fire. He threw the parts into the fire, as well as the medical smock and accessories until they were ashes.
Beyond shuffled over, stopped the fire, and scooped up the ashes in an urn. He scooped the other ashes into another urn. Beyond then buried the two urns. He placed two headstones that read 'Rue Ryuzaki The First.' and 'Rena Ryuzaki' in front of the spots he buried them.
A background builder, a murder cover-up, and a fun experiment nestled in one.
He laughed to himself, hosed down his grill and scrubbed vigorously, then placed it back in his shed. Beyond then calmly shuffled back into his home, went back into his fridge where he had stored the body parts, pulled out an open jar of strawberry jam and crouched back down in his chair. His show had ended, and an advertisement was playing.
He swiped his fingers in the jar and licked the jam off his fingertips as an announcer blared. 'Misa Amane, everyone's favorite kawaii aidoru, will be releasing a new J-Pop album-'
A petite blond-haired girl with bright blue eyes, wearing a sleeveless black shirt with long black gloves, and a very short black skirt, appeared on the screen waving to the studio audience.
Her name is Misa Amane (弥 海砂) date of death..........
Beyond fell out of his chair, spilling jam all over his carpet. "No death date?!" he shouted to the screen, looking at the small girl. "How.... is that possible?" he murmured.
He quickly capped his jam, put it in the fridge, mind racing.
Misa Amane, Misa Amane, Misa Amane. I need to see why I can't see her death. Who is she? What makes her special? I must find out. I need to find out. I must find her. I need to find her.
Beyond went to his bookshelf and opened a binder with a printed sheet that read "Buildings To Be Demolished By The City w/ floor plans.". He flipped threw the pages until settling on an old Edo-Meiji Ryokan. He read from the demolishing request sheet:
Yagami Ryokan (旅館 夜神)The Yagami Ryokan is a traditional inn founded 1868 by the Yagami family. Many strange rumors emerged that whoever wrote their name in a scroll to sign into the hotel, they would die by a shinigami's hand. It later became known as the Shinigami Ryokan (旅館 死神). The hotel was abandoned after-wards due to the rumors. It is still abandoned to this day, and is an ugly eye sore this city could be without.
Demo Date: May 1, 2004
Beyond Birthday chuckled, packed some manga, jars of jam, a lot sugar, jeans, white shirts, grey contacts, and other items into a suitcase. He typed an e-mail in a brand new computer to Misa Amane, who's personal e-mail address was not very hard to find with a few searches on Gentle! web search. He ran a few security measures to make his laptop less traceable and finally typed in his Gentle! Web mail:
Dear Misa Amane-sama,
Come to the Yagami Ryokan to commemorate its re-opening.
-From the City Staff
Beyond sent the e-mail, then smashed the laptop to pieces with a hammer, burnt it, and buried the ashes in his back yard to eliminate the evidence.
Soon you and I will be together, Miss Misa.
