Thanks for the review. As soon as I saw that, I got all giddy and had the urge to start on the next chapter. Here it is. Chapter Two! And yes, It is short. But straight to the point. Relitivly.
Recap.
"Nice to meet you all," Karasu says, as Light's father gasps. Everyone turns and looks at him, who is staring at Karasu."Matsuda, get the team together. We're going," he says, bewildered that a simple school girl was able to solve a complicated case. Matsuda blinks and nods, fumbling with his cell phone, turning away, as he jabbers on the phone.
Light and Chief Yagami both look at Karasu. Light raises his eyebrow slightly and his lips twitch to a smirk. I could use her on my side... He thinks to himself.
***After the team had be dispersed, it was found out that Karasu was actually correct. They caught all four of the murderers. Chief Yagami asked Karasu to stay at the station, while the team was gone, in case anything went wrong. She agreed, and an hour later the team returned with the good news. Sakura TV wanted an interview with the girl who gave the police the information...'
"Next, we interview a local school girl, Kasegawa, Karasu. She helped the police, by giving them information on the whereabouts of the crazed murderers. Karasu, how did you know where they were located?" A woman asks.
"I actually studied the case as a project, then I pieced the information together," Karasu answers softly, biting her tongue after. The reporter nods, enthusiastically.
"You do realize your currently a local hero, right?" she says, inching closer. Karasu blinks and shrugs.
"All I did was give the police the information. I did nothing afterwards. The real hero's are the team that actually put their lives at risk to get the murderers." Karasu answers honestly. The reporter just blinks.
"Oh, come now, Karasu-san. Don't be so modest!" the reporter says, with a cheesy smile. Karasu stares at her.
"I'm not though, its true!" She says blinking after a few seconds. The reporter blinks, then smiles, turning to the camera.
"Well, there you have it. Karasu here, proved that anyone could be a hero!" The reporter finishes.'
Light switches the TV off, leaning back in his chair, tapping a pen against his chin. He had just finished writing down the names of the murderers, not on a page of the Death Note though. Ryuk hovers over him, snickering softly.
"Ryuk, whats so funny," Light asks slightly annoyed, as his eyes flash up to the Shinigami. Ryuk finishes snickering and moves in front of Light.
"Doesn't it bother you, that a simple girl was able to solve a case, before the famous Kira could kill the murderers?" Ryuk says with another dry snicker. Lights' eyes glaze over at the thought, before the hardness returns. He sits up, and places the pen on his desk, followed by his elbows. He then rests his chin on the backs of his hands.
"No, Ryuk, it doesn't. She helped me as matter of fact," Light says calmly, glances at the Shinigami. Ryuk fidgets and moves to Lights bed.
"Oh?" Was all he said. Light just nods, his eyes flickering down to the black book in front of him. The words ' Death Note ' scrawled on the front of the book, in white writing.
Now, I know who the murderers are..Kira can now rightfully punish them for their deeds. I can't kill them now, because the news report just gave the names. It would draw attention to Kira. Unwanted attention from the police. Light thinks to himself, before reaching to turn his computer on. The soft hum of it warming up fills the silent room. Ryuk shifts and looks at Light.
"What are you up to?" Ryuk asks with no emotion. Light looks at him while leaning back.
"If you must know, looking some things up about this Karasu person," Light answers clicking a link, then quickly typing. Ryuk just does a snort, and Light rolls his eyes slightly, as he skims over some information. Then blinks, arching an eyebrow. She attends the same school as I do? How could I have not realized...Hmmm...Oh, she's not in my classes. It says she's interested in Law and has done over 30 essays about the crimes...and a project on Kira? Light blinks and shakes his head, turning his computer off. He then rises and walks over to his bed, laying down, placing his arms behind his head, staring at the roof.
"Interesting."
The sound of Ryuk snickering is the last thing Light heard, when he closed his eyes, falling asleep.

"Oh my god, did you here about Karasu?" A girl asks.
"Oh, she was the one on TV right?" A boy answers.
"She solved a case the police couldn't even solve!" Another girl chirps in.
"I bet Kira is happy!" A girl adds.
"Why would Kira be happy?! She could actually work with the police!" A boy says. The girls glare.
"Come on! She is way to young to join the police!" A girl says, rolling her eyes.
"She's going to be famous! I wonder where she is.." The girl beside the boy says, with a sigh.
"I want her autograph!" Somebody walking by says to his friend.
"I want to ask her out!" His friend replies with a snicker.
Karasu zips up her black hoodie and hides her face in her binders, as she rushes through the courtyard, seeking the shelter of the library. I didn't want this...By tomorrow they won't even know my name! Karasu sighs and closes her eyes, striding down the walkway, short stubby hedges lining the path. While she was walking, she didn't see the figure in front of her..and..of course...She ran into it. Him. Yagami Light. She gasps and falls backwards dropping her binder shield, landing on her elbows.
"Ow! Hey, oh, sorry! I didn't see you there, ow.." Karasu stutters out quickly standing up, ignoring the aching pains in her elbows and lower back. She bends over and picks up her binders and then finally looks up.
"It's fine. Are you alright?" Light asks blinking nonchalantly. Karasu blinks staring at his emotionless cream skinned face.
"I'm...fine, my elbows are just sore, excuse me," Karasu says quickly stepping past Light.
As she steps past him, his molten amber eyes lock onto her, following her every move. He soon turns to watch her rush off inside.
"She sure is an interesting one, but, you said you would give me an apple..." Ryuk says impatiently.
Light inhales deeply and sighs, turning back. He shoves his hands in his pockets, closing his eyes as he continues on his way, slowly.
Not really that impressive. A klutz, but she may have the mind of a genius. That won't be found out by simply watching her. I need more information. Light opens his eyes and tilts his gaze up to Ryuk, before glancing around the courtyard.
"I suppose, you won't be a kind and generous Shinigami, and give me how much longer she has to live, right?" Light asks finally, blinking thoughtfully. Ryuk looks at him.
"Why would you want to know?" He asks tilting his head. Light sends him an annoyed glare.
"Because if I do decide to continue inspecting her, I need to know how long she will be with me," Light says under his breath, after a student walks past him. Ryuk snickers.
"How devious, Light. I'm proud to be haunting you," Ryuk cackles. Light growls softly, and keeps walking, knowing Ryuk won't answer him.
Karasu, after encountering Light, felt strange. Her stomach hurt, and part of her wanted to go back to talk to him. To thank him, after he did ask the secretary to hand it to the police. But, now she was in the safe confinements of the library, where she could finally relax.
"Well, I can tell today will be fun," Karasu says to herself, placing her head in her arms. Somebody approaches her, silently.
"Kara-chan..I'm sorry I didn't believe you," Mai says softly, sitting across from Karasu. Karasu jumps at her sudden appearance and then smiles.
"No, its fine, I'm sorry for being so rude to you yesterday," Karasu apologizes, to her only real close friend. Mai smiles and reaches across the small table hugging Karasu. Karasu smiles and hugs her back.
"Though, good job! You really should look into the police force as a career," Mai says smiling at her friend. Karasu laughs and shrugs.
"I might actually, you never know," she says with a smile. Mai giggles and yawns slightly.
"Do you think you'll be able to solve any harder case, that has the police baffled?" Mai asks blinking.
"I should work on the Kira case," laughs Karasu. Mai blinks and stares at her. Karasu stops laughing after realizing this. "What is it?"
"Please don't! What if Kira thinks your intruding? Kira could very well kill you! Don't Kara-chan!" Mai says standing up, concern and worry filling her face. Karasu blinks and slowly stands.
"Mai, please calm down, I won't get killed. Plenty of people are looking into the Kira case, and nobody is being killed for it," Karasu says softly, placing a reassuring hand on Mai's shoulder. Mai blinks and nods closing her eyes.
"Alright, sorry," she says softly, looking down. Karasu smiles and picks up her binder, wrapping her arm around Mai's shoulder.
"Lets go to class, 'kay?" Karasu says, hugging her friend. Mai smiles and nods.
"Alright, Sherlock." Mai says.
