A/N: Hey guys, I'm going to try and not ramble on in these Author Notes, so I'll keep this one short 'n' sweet. I've decided on a very consistent work and update schedule, so expect updates of this story on the weekends. Since today is Sunday, then the next update will most likely be this week, on Saturday and so on and so on. I might be able to sneak a couple before the update day, but I doubt it since I'm lazy and busy.
But I'll give free cookies to anyone who can figure out Libra and Leo's last name before I post the next chapter. Seriously, I'll be surprised if no one gets it (It's so obvious, or so I say myself).
Now let's get on with the story (Told you it was going to be short 'n' sweet).
Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note, but I do own the Amane twins, the new Ls, and technically Yumi... kind of... I dunno...
Chapter 3- Found
The Amane twins were walking home on an unusually warm day in March from school. The skies were clear of fluffy clouds and a brilliant blue color. The sun warmed up the atmosphere and made everything energetic and come back to life.
"Brother!" An unusually energetic, dark circled girl called out from the other side of the street. She seemed to be lost and moving into the small house across from the Amane twins.
Suzuki stopped and called out to the lost girl. "Do you need help?"
The dark circled girl looked surprised. After coming out of her shock, she replied. "Yes! I need to find my brother."
Suzuki smiled. "Let me just get changed." She pointed to her itchy private school uniform. She shoved her stuff into her brother's arms and went into her aunt's apartment to change. After changing into a pair of tan shorts and a floral baby doll tank top, she came down from the apartment to help the girl.
"So what does your brother look like?" Suzuki asked the girl as she was looking around her new house. Suzuki glanced at the apartment and saw that her brother had already gone in. Good. He can do the killings for me today. She thought.
"He looks a lot like me – green eyes, black hair and stuff. He probably isn't even looking for me anyway..." The girl said doubtfully. "I just miss him so much..." Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Suzuki couldn't help but feel bad for her. Every time Tsukiya would ditch her, she was always sad. (well, when she was little) She always felt like crying and then Tsukiya would come up to her and hug her. He would always tell her that he would never leave her and always protect her. But he wouldn't. That's because he's the younger brother. Never cut out to protect anyway. Suzuki clenched her fists. That's why I have to protect him. "So why did you move out here?" Suzuki asked the girl as they walked around the street.
The girl seemed caught off guard. "My caretaker's job." That isn't completely a lie... She thought.
"What's your name?" Suzuki smiled innocently to make it seem like she wasn't being pushy or curious.
The girl tried to remember her alias. "I'm from Europe, so in Europe, it would be Lyra Lima, but here in Japan, it would be Lima Lyra." she said nervously, suddenly remembering the cultural change.
"Lima Lyra... funny name..." Suzuki commented. Lima... that is an odd last name... even for a European... She heard Light chuckle loudly. No... it's an alias...
"So what's yours?"
"In Europe, of course, it would be Suzuki Amane. Here in Japan, it would be Amane Suzuki." Suzuki replied the whole cultural lesson to Lyra.
Lyra looked at her blankly. "Are you related to Misa Ama- er, Amane Misa?" Hm... she might be a possible Kira. Her mother was the second Kira. Misa- Misa's fiance was Light Yagami. And Near told me that Light was Kira. "I love Misa- Misa!"
Suzuki almost broke down and cried. "Yes..." She said silently. "Amane Misa was my mother."
Lyra remembered the fact that Amane Misa committed suicide on January 28th 2011 – the year after the first Kira had passed away. "I'm... sorry." She hugged Suzuki to comfort her.
"Lyra!" Someone exclaimed. Lyra let go of Suzuki and ran to hug her older brother. Her older brother was pretty cute, at least in Suzuki's opinion. He had the same brilliant green eyes, jet black hair, and dark circles as his sister.
"Lucas, I was so worried! You shouldn't leave without telling me!" Lyra said as she shouted at him furiously, yet so happy to see him again.
Lucas rolled his eyes. "You should really listen when I tell you I'm going to the store you know. And by the way..." Lucas pointed at Suzuki. "Who's this girl?"
Suzuki sighed, annoyed by Lyra's brother regarding her as "this girl." She retained her calmness and replied. "Amane Suzuki."
"Oh? Lucas said, recognizing her last name. "You're the daughter of that model... what was her name...?" Her mother was the second Kira and her father was the first Kira... hm... I wonder if she got her hands on the Death Note?
Suzuki fell silent. "Amane Misa..." She mumbled. She didn't like to talk about her family a lot because it always brought up the fact that she didn't have any living parents. The closest family she had was her aunt, and she was always out of the house, working hard to support her niece and nephew.
"But anyways, my name is Lima Lucas." He smiled at Suzuki.
She smiled back. "I kind of figured that one out, since Lyra is your sister and she called you Lucas." Does that make me Kira -esque if I pretty much tell him I have a sharp mind? Suzuki thought as she was rethinking her actions. Maybe I should of played dumb...
"Wow, you have a sharp mind." Lucas commented at her sharp intellect. Yes, she is definitely Kira. Kira was making one death per hour, which means Kira is obviously intelligent. He ran through information in his mind that he was able to pick up from the notes and research that Rem had provided for him and his sister.
Suzuki giggled to make herself seem girly and clueless sometimes. "Thanks." She glanced at her pocket watch, which hung loosely on her thin neck, and realized it was already late. "Oops, gotta get going. My brother's going to get mad at me if I don't cook dinner." She turned on her feet and started to go back to her apartment.
Lyra giggled. "Thanks Suzuki! See ya!" She suddenly remembered a small tid bit about attending school. "Wait!" Suzuki turned around. "Do you attend that private school around here? I was debating whether to go to that private school or the public school..." That should be a good cover for investigating her ourselves... we also need to investigate her brother though...
My sister is an idiot with a mind of a genius. Lucas thought. She's going to blow our cover! We could of hacked into the school system and check to see if they were students or not...
"The private school. I'm in the first year." Suzuki replied. "Why? You going to attend the private school?" Hm... I wonder if she was going to keep an eye on me or something...
Lyra figured that Suzuki thought it was suspicious. She replied. "It would be nice to have a friend at the middle school... I was just curious if you were in middle school or high school..." That should be a decent excuse. She glanced nervously at her brother.
"Oh." Suzuki replied. "Wait, what grade are you going to, Lucas- san?" I should tell Ototo- san about the information I'm able to pick up about these people... She smiled sweetly – eerie almost.
Lucas calculated his year number with his date of birth. "First year at the high school." He then shot an angry look at his sister.
Suzuki pretended not to notice that Lucas had shot a dirty look at his sister for asking a mostly harmless question. "Well, better go... bye..." She skipped off to the apartment. She was still bothered by their names. I know why Light laughed, so why did they choose to have aliases?
"Hello NPA." The synthetic voice said as Watari carried the lap top. "I expect you to cooperate with me fully this time on this new Kira case."
It should be Near, right? Deputy director Matsuda Touta thought as the claimed L began to bark directions. It doesn't seem like the usual calm Near...
"Right now, you are risking your lives to catch Kira. Please think now about your family and your lives that are at stake. Please leave immediately if you choose not to risk these things." L said.
As expected of L.. Matsuda thought. But what about Yumi? She might hate me and I get pissed at her sometimes, but I still want to provide income. Would working on the Kira case still would make me Deputy Director? He shook his head. I want to fight against Kira! I want to bring justice to the Death Note! Matsuda noticed that roughly half of the police officers escaped the room. Weak.
Although Matsuda used to be just like those police officers, he disregarded them. He grown quite handsomely – grown in intelligence and maturity, to be exact. After the Death Note, he was widely respected by the Japanese police force and then was promoted to Deputy Director about ten years after. He only took the job to provide a better income to his daughter, Yumi, who indefinitely hated her father for supporting L.
Yumi... He thought. I hope you don't truly hate me... He then turned his attention to L, who was giving directions to the remaining members of the (new) Kira case.
"Matsuda, I am sure you know the location in which I currently am." The synthetic voice said. "I am closer than you think I am."
Matsuda was surprised. How would he know the location of L? "Uh, sure L."
"Well, good radiance to you and please find me as soon as you can." The synthetic voice clicked and the "L" on the screen was gone.
Matsuda was going to visit the Amane twins to drop off some food for them.
After Light's death and after he found out that Misa- Misa was pregnant, he'd figured that he could just visit once in a while. Of course, he never told Yumi about them (because she would run away from him – thank God she was a loner), but he was always so happy to see the twins, he would probably even forget about taking care of his daughter.
He rang the apartment buzzer to Sayu's apartment and waited until one of the twins came down to open the door for him.
"Hi Matsuda- san!" Tsukiya greeted as he opened the door for Matsuda.
Matsuda took off his shoes and said, "Hello Tsukiya- san!" He held out the take out bag. "This is for you."
Tsukiya looked surprised but accepted the bag. "Thank you Matsuda- san." He smelled the pungent, sauce covered chicken. "Yum. This looks good. But please, come in, come in." The two went upstairs to the apartment, where Suzuki was waiting around, watching the news.
Probably about Kira... He guessed. The young people are so interested in Kira these days... He put a smile to his face. "Hi Suzuki- san!"
Suzuki turned around, as if she didn't noticed Matsuda coming in. "Oh!" She said surprised. "Hi Matsuda- san!"
"Matsuda brought us food." Tsukiya said as he plopped the plastic bag on the kitchen counter. He smiled. "You're favorite, Imoto- san – chicken!"
Suzuki's blue eyes widened at the sound of her favorite food. She hurried over to the kitchen counter, took the container of chicken out of the bag, and got out a pair of chopsticks to eat. "Itadakimasu!" And she ate the glorious chicken.
Tsukiya sighed and took out the container of pork. He got out a pair of chopsticks and mumbled, "Itadakimasu." And ate the pork.
Matsuda just watched the two eat the food. He was getting uncomfortable with the twins and he wanted to leave. He sighed. "I'm going to go now. Call me when you need anything and Sayu- san isn't home."The twins nodded and Matsuda left the apartment. He walked down the street and saw a teenage looking boy who was in a rumpled white shirt and baggy jeans – just like what Ryuzaki used to wear. Ryuzaki... He thought. Wait a minute...
The boy smiled. "Hello Matsuda." He said.
I've found L! Was all Matsuda could think of.
Yay! Reviewing the reviews!
White Candycane- Thanks! I'll be sure to add in a lot of red herrings! (which are stuff in a mystery novel that is supposed to distract you)
Sakura Ichigo Morihiko- Wait... doesn't OCD mean Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? Oh well, doesn't exactly matter... but thank you so much for going through the trouble to make a character for me. It makes me so happy that I don't have to make up one!
SparkyXD- Thank you! I plan to make it very interesting!
Again, R&R really does make my day. You won't believe how ecstatic I was when I found out that people were reviewing and reading this story. Seriously. I was, like, bouncing off of walls (but that was also due to too much sugar and caffeine consumption)
