Well, here is another chapter(I know, finally, right!), and I hope you enjoy it :)


Chapter 2

Old Memories


Another day past and Ryuzaki found himself facing a big dilemma. The young idol, Miyu-san, knew his identity, and was currently being held captive. He was lost on what to do with her. He knew if he kept her locked up until the end of the case, the task force would start on outrage, not to mention that Miyu-san happened to be famous and would most likely have other people outside searching for her.

Ryuzaki frowned and gnawed on his thumb. He had actually considered killing her, it seemed like the only easy thing to do, but that was wrong. She hadn't committed a crime, actually, he had looked at her record as she was almost as clean as he was, with only mild car tickets. He let out a long sigh and pressed a button on his computer; he needed to figure out what do with her fast because they would soon have to switch hotels.

"Are you going to tell me how you found out my identity yet, Miyu-san?" Ryuzaki's distorted voice blasted through the speakers. The girl, once again, said nothing. Just sat there with a small smirk from under the blindfold. Her arms were strapped down to the wall, and her body was held with ropes. He groaned, irritated, this girl would not speak. He let go off the button as the task force walked in.

"The cameras are all set up, Ryuzaki." Chief Yagami said.

"Thank you, Yagami-san." Ryuzaki said, and pressed another button. The view of Miyu-san switched off and placed on it was the newly formed vision of Light's room. Everything was far to neat for this room to belong to a teenager, making Ryuzaki's opinion of Light believe he was far more mature then that of a teen.

Teenagers had always annoyed Ryuzaki with their hormones and adolescent behavior, though he was no better himself. He fully admitted that he was childish and had a strive to always be on the top. Those feelings led him to being the world's greatest detective, but he thrived to be better. Yagami-san sat in the chair next to him, and the other cops went off to search through other things.

They watched the blank screen for six more minutes until Light-san finally made it home. He rang the doorbell, and after someone failed to answer the door, he assumed no one was home and opened the door with his key. He slipped inside his house, and Ryuzaki took notice to everything about him, observing even his lithe movements.

"Light Yagami, according to the person who installed the cameras, he's checking if anyone goes into his room while he's gone. Other than that, he's room held nothing suspicious." Ryuzaki explained, "Let's move into his room. Switching to camera 85."

Light entered his room and plopped down on his bed, setting his bag next to him. Taking a deep breath, he laid down for a moment relaxing his muscles. He then proceeded to stand up and walk to his closet. He grabbed a clean jacket, and shrugged it on, before leaving his room again.

Before he left, he stopped to make sure his traps were set in place, and left the house, locking the door behind him. The Chief turned to Ryuzaki.

"So he is….I didn't realize he went to such lengths…might there be something in there that he wants nobody to see?" He said, voicing his thoughts.

"Well, considering he's seventeen, it isn't all that unusual. I've done it myself for no reason at all." Ryuzaki answered, keeping his eyes focused on the screen. After that the day passed on, a bit more exciting then the other. Another outrage occurred after discovering Light's porn stash. The Chief stayed the night watching the camera's with Ryuzaki, but finally went home in the morning. Ryuzaki switched of the camera viewing Light's empty bedroom, and switched back onto Miyu's.

After watching the pretty girl sleep for awhile, he decided to leave the room and go visit her. Entering the dark room, he moved over to her slouched form. As if not really being asleep, the young girl sat up. Ryuzaki watched as her eyes fluttered open from behind the blindfold, and waiting a bit to see if she noticed someone was in the room.

"I know you're here, L." She said. Ryuzaki nearly jumped at the sound of her hoarse voice. It was clear she hadn't used it in awhile.

"Hmm…Well, I must say, Miyu-san, you are very observant." Ryuzaki said. He grabbed the blindfold and pulled it off her. It was no use anyways, she knew who he was. She had seen him before. She blinked her amber eyes a few time, making the water slightly, before looking at L. He had forgotten how pretty those eyes were, not brown, yet not green. A perfect shade of hazel. Realizing what he just thought, he mentally berated himself.

"Aw, we meet again Mystery man." She said with a chuckled. Her voice had soothed out some, but still had a rough edge to it, "Mind taking these binds off?"

"I'm not sure if I should do that, Miyu-san." He said.

"Oh, come on. I'm not going to hurt you, L." She said.

"You shall not call me that, Miyu-san." He said, sternly, "You shall address me as Ryuzaki."

She chuckled, "As you wish, Ryuzaki-san."

"Good." He said, "Now, I have a few questions for you."

"Okay, but I'm not answering any of them until you untie me." She said, stubbornly. Ryuzaki rolled his eyes, and started untying the binds. She was a petite girl and he could easily take her on if she chose to start something. Once he was done, the poor girl fell to her knees, her legs not quite ready to take on all her weight. Ryuzaki helped her up, grabbing her upper arm and yanking her ungracefully.

She was finally standing in front of him, reaching only to his lower chin, which was still pretty tall for a girl. Her hand ran through her oily hair, and she grimaced in disguise.

"Now we will begin our questioning." He said, but she disagreed once again.

"Not until after I get a shower." She said. Ryuzaki sighed, easily getting frustrated with the girl. She was stubborn, and so was he. It wasn't a good combination. He grabbed a fist full of hair and yanked on it. A shot of pain ran through his head, making it pound and he instantly regretted his actions.

"Fine." He said, leading her out of the room. They past several narrow hallways before Ryuzaki opened a door and walked into the extravagant room. Miyu-san was used to living like this, so she was not immediately impressed, but after seeing his computer room, her eyes shot open wide.

"Here, you may take a shower in that room." He said, pointing to another door, "I'll have Watari leave your clothes on the bed. Please hurry."

And without another word, he turned his back on her and sat on a computer chair, hoisting his legs up to his chest. Miyu stared at him for a moment, before walking into the room. She went straight for the bathroom and was soon under the warm water, washing the grease from her matted hair. As she took her shower, Ryuzaki who had remained in the other room, carefully watching the cameras that were placed in Light's room.

About fifteen minutes later, he heard the water shut off, and a blow-dryer replace the noise. He frowned at the loud noise, and dropped a bunch of sweets into his mouth. Awhile later, the noise ceased, and he heard the door open. He assumed she was getting dressed in the clothes Watari had confiscated from her house. It had previously been done when she was getting kidnapped, for Ryuzaki had already assumed she would be staying here for quite awhile.

Miyu-san walked into the room clad in a plain, form-fitting white t-shirt, and a pair of skin-tight jeans. Her feet were bare, and colored a dark red, contrasting with her cream skin. Her hair was dried and wavy, falling down her back. She looked nothing like she had on t.v the other night. Ryuzaki was surprised these were even the same people.

"Don't look so surprised." She said. Ryuzaki's face slipped back into expressionless, and turned back to the computers, not saying a word. He heard her slid into the seat next to him and watch the cameras along with him. He quickly shut them off and turned to her. Her face remained staring at the now black computer screens.

"I guess it's time for our little talk." She said. Ryuzaki didn't say anything but start with the first question.

"Who are you?" He asked. She chuckled.

"I thought that was pretty obvious." She said, "I'm Kita, Miyu."

"An Alias." Ryuzaki said, making the girl turn to him.

"An Alias." She repeated, "How'd you figure it out?"

"Well, besides the fact I'm the world's greatest detective," He said, making himself sound self-absorbed, "I researched you under the name 'Kita, Miyu', and besides the obvious pop-ups, nothing else showed. Also, by not denying that it was an alias proved my theory."

She looked at him closely for a second before telling him, "I guess, since I know your real identity, I'll give you a hint to mine."

"A hint?"

"Yes. Honestly L," She was speaking English now, "Don't you recognize me at all?"

Ryuzaki peered at her closely, confused at her statement. He thought back to places he would have met this girl while speaking the English language. Wammy House would've been the only place possibly for L hadn't shown himself to anyone except one person since he left the orphanage, excluding Watari, of course. He looked at her a bit closer, remembering those eyes. She looked so familiar. And then suddenly, it hit him.

"Mitsuki-san?" He questioned in disbelief, "Is it really you?"

She smiled, and relaxed in her chair. Ryuzaki remembered her now. Kimura, Mitsuki. When he first met her, he wasn't even sure she should have even been entered at the Wammy House. She was young, naïve, and of average intelligence. However, she was a musical genius, and for that reason, she brought upon great respect. Watari had been certain that she would go on to do great wonders, and apparently, she had.

The girl was always so open and nice, that she grew most popular amongst her peers. Ryuzaki had talked to her on occasion, for she would greet him and try to get the tiny boy to climb from his shell, however, she never achieved her goal. Ryuzaki had been an unemotional block, even then. When she turned fourteen, the time when most kids leave Wammy House, she was taken in by a music company, and no one ever saw her again.

"So you finally recognize me?" She smiled.

"How'd you recognize me? That day on the bus…"

"You haven't changed, L." She said, "Not one bit."

Ryuzaki let out a sigh, and bit on his thumb.

"Why are you here, Mitsuki-san?" He asked.

"Why else?" She said, sarcastically, "To help with the Kira case."

"You want to help?" He said, incredulously. She rolled her pretty eyes, and turned her petite nose up.

"Just because I wasn't the smartest kid, doesn't mean I can't help out!" She said, stubbornly. He laughed at her childish attitude that match with his own, and though he already knew the answer to her question, he decided to play with her.

"Yeah, you weren't the smartest kid." He said, "Actually, if my memory serves me correct, you were almost at the bottom of intelligence at Wammy House."

She scoffed and turned her eyes towards him in a menacing glare that made a chill run down Ryuzaki's back, "I was not!" She shouted, "I'll have you know that I was respectively placed somewhere in the middle!"

"Hmm…were you?" He said, pushing her buttons, "I thought you were only welcomed at Wammy's for you musical skills."

Mitsuki had to bit the inside of her cheek to stop from yelling at the witty detective.

"Besides, how do I know your not Kira?"

"Trust me, L Lawliet," She said, quite seriously, "If I were Kira, you'd be dead by now."

"L Lawliet?" He asked, "Since when do you know my full name?"

"Since the first time we met, L." She said with a small smirk.

Ryuzaki let out a small sigh and looked at the clock. The task force would be there soon, and he could tell he wouldn't get a reaction from Mitsuki-san anymore, seeing as how she figured him out. Grabbing a bar of chocolate, he smashed it with his teeth, and swallowed a chuck.

"Fine, then, Mitsuki-san." He said, "I give you permission to help with the Kira case."
