A mangled corpse had been found on Wednesday.
The body was identified as that of the head of a secret criminal organization. The police hadn't made any of his records public through the news or the internet. A large hole was torn through the man's chest, suggesting that it had been impaled by something. The body lacked a few organs, as well as a some limbs. There was a gaping hole in place of the right eye, and one of the ears was missing. It was probably brutally torn off somehow, seeing as a line of flesh under the ear had also been torn off. But so far, the most disturbing thing about it was that it appeared to have been taken a bite out of from the area where the shoulder and neck met. Traces of saliva had been found, and it was also discovered that it didn't belong to a human. Or at least, an average human.
Light personally thought it was a gruesome sight to behold. L, on the other hand, thought that it was some crazy follower of Kira who had done the deed, seeing that the victim was an active criminal. He also guessed that this disturbed murderer was probably going to kill off the other criminals who Kira couldn't get to.
No one wanted to agree with him on that one. One brutal death was enough, thank you very much. Even if it was a criminal.
L's hypothesis could have been brought down easily, if it were not for another mangled mess of a corpse turning up a few days later. The large hole in the torso, missing parts and bite mark clearly showed that the killer of this murder and the first one was the same person. Or at least organization. Not to mention, this was a also a criminal who had been off records.
And a few days later, another similar murder case came up. And another. And another. And another.
L and Light had both managed to deduct that this serial killer was certainly a follower of Kira, and more of these cases were going to come up. Unfortunately for them, the only leads they had was that the killer somehow knew about the criminals and was trying to get Kira's attention, for some reason. It was obvious the person behind these murders didn't have Kira's power, but it was also obvious it had a more physical power of its own. They were smart enough to not leave evidence on the crime scenes, and yet they couldn't identify Kira by themselves.
Light Yagami sighed. If this turned out to be another Misa (albeit a lot more crazier), he was going to burst a vein.
It's pretty obvious who this killer is (for us, anyway), but what does he want with Kira? Does criminal flesh taste good or is it something else? Oh well. The late update is a result of me trying to work on three other crossovers at the same time. I know, 400 words aren't that hard to write, but school is killing me. Seriously, my hair is falling out because of stress. And here I was hoping I could cool white hair instead. Huh.
