Sorry for some many errors! :( But here is chapter 3!
Chapter 3
"The envelope."
The task force, including L and Watari glanced over at me when I made my statement.
"Ray Penber wasn't holding an envelope before, now he is." I explained.
"You're right there it is under his arm;
but in the footage right before his death; it's gone. I can't believe you actually caught that." Aizawa said in disbelief, while replying the security cameras.
"It wasn't on the list of his personal effects." Yagami confirmed.
"Which means it was left on the train. And if you watched closely at the very end here, it looks like he straining to look inside the train, right before the doors close. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kira was on that train? But there would be no reason for Kira to come to the scene of his own crime if he could kill from a distance." L remarked.
"He could've expected us to think that and figured he could get away with such a bold move…" I continued, finishing L's thoughts for him. L's bagged eyes looked at me I was waiting for him to tell me I was wrong or completely right but instead he said:
"Ms. May, may I speak to you outside for a moment?" I shrugged my shoulders and followed L out the door leading to the hallway. He didn't waste any time to make his statement, he immediately said,
"Watari and I have both are not able to find records portraying to your existence. Your records could be lost somewhere; therefore, I would like the names of your biological parents."
"Oh um, their names are Fuuto and Lyric May." I almost stuttered.
"Mother's maiden name?" he asked.
"Brent." I told him being honest; I couldn't come up with a well thought out surname on the spot.
"Father is Japanese?" L questioned.
"No, he was adopted by a Japanese family." I lied.
"I see that is all. But, concerning what you said earlier; I think you're right. Keep up the work."
I smiled when L praised but a few seconds later I found myself banging my head against a nearby wall. Why did tell him that? He's going to look up my parents and not find anything! He's going to think I'm lying. I should've told them I don't know who they were! Why was I cursed with stupidity?
"As a courtesy to the chief and his family only he and I will conduct surveillance." L informed Watari.
"I would like to suggest that May accompanied you." Watari mentioned.
Watari knew Isabelle wasn't like the other members of the Task Force. He thought with her and L together they would solve this case. This thought of his was confirmed earlier today when she noticed the envelope.
"I see, Chief will you have any problems with this?" L asked.
"…If you think it will help with the mission then no." He replied rather seriously.
'Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.' I chanted in my head. I was sitting on a bluish dining room chair; this room must have been dining room before L transformed into a surveillance room. I really wanted to get to Light's epic potato eating but it was taking forever! Looking over to my right I saw L hunched over with his right thumb on his month. It was very hard to see what L is thinking but I could read Yagami like a book.
"Finally." I breathed. Light finally took a potato and ate it and Ryuk well…Ryuk was experiencing his withdraw symptoms.
"After dinner your son just goes back to studying without turning on the TV or his computer?" L questioned the chief.
"It's because entrance exams are five days away." Yagami resolved L question. After a few moments passed Light was shown throwing away his bag of chips.
"I think the TV is on." I concluded.
"What do you mean? The cameras clearly show that it's off." Yagami said in disbelief. He was a bit angry at Isabelle for thinking his son was Kira, he was sure that his own son wasn't a killer.
"Ryuzaki, the bribery and robbery suspect on the nine O'clock news have both died in their holding cells." Watari said appearing out of nowhere.
"But, my son couldn't be Kira because the T.V wasn't on!" Yagami exclaimed jumping out of his seat.
"That's what he wants you to think. It's a possibility that he could have one of those pocket sized televisions in his bag of chips." I announced calmly.
"Mr. Yagami! I would like to go home now and receive the bag of chips in the morning before the garbage truck comes tomorrow." L remarked with an urgent tone.
"Wha-?!...uhh. Yes; Ryuzaki. Yagami said horrified then obediently with his head down. After the chief left; L and I reverted our in attention back to the television. Light was shown calling someone after he finished studying. My cell phone began to inconveniently ring at this moment. Well, isn't this just great?
"I thought I told you that no cell phones or other communication devices were allowed to be on." L mentioned dryly with suspicion in his voice.
"No, you said you hated the sound of cell phones ringing if you were talking; now correct me if I'm wrong; you were not speaking. And not to mention it was vibrating…not ringing." I smartly told him, muttering the last sentence. Most people would be too scared to talk back at to you, but not I, L not I.
I think L was fed up with me for the evening because he sent me home after my smart-ass comment. I couldn't help be to chuckle as I left his hotel room. When I got into a taxi I realized I forgotten about my caller.
'Light Yagami 1 missed call'
Gosh dang it Light why did you decide to call at the worst moment. He never calls or texts me anymore something urgent had to be going on; I had to call to see what was up…most likely be arrested by L tomorrow. If Chief did his job like he was told to that is.
"Hey Light? You called?" I answered to Light's 'Hello'
"You were not at school today?"
"Oh…No, I worked late last night I needed the extra sleep." I lied. Light called just for that? Why?
"Ah. Yes, I wanted to know if you wanted to come over tomorrow morning. How about ten?" He asked. Now I see he wants me to act as his cover up.
"I don't know if that's a good idea…" I told him softly.
"Please, I feel bad for…sort of ditching you." Light plead.
"…A-alright." I couldn't help myself I had to give in. I have a really bad problem with giving in. Now that I think about it I could also help Yagami if something went wrong.
"Great! It a date!" he mentioned before he hung up the, not letting me to reply.
Date?
At 9:56 I knocked on the Yagami's door, I could hear feet running to answer it.
"Mom! Dad! She's here!" Lights little sister yelled not bothering to call for Light.
"Hi, I'm Sayu!" She cheered bowing her head.
"Raikou; I'm one of Light's classmates." I bowed.
"Hello Raikou. I'm Light's mother. My husband is still asleep, sorry. It's nice to meet you." Mrs. Yagami said happily before bowing. I'm glad the chief is getting some sleep but he needs to wake up soon.
"You're not trying to embarrass her are you?" Light questioned walking up.
"Nooooo!" Sayu dragged out her reply. Light was already dragging me up the stairs before Sayu started speaking.
"Nice room." I commented when I entered. I took a seat at Lights desk keeping an eye on his trash can containing the bag of chips. Ryuk was lying on Lights bed laughing his head off towards Bloom. Light didn't know or cared for that matter what Ryuk was laughing at or to.
"Thanks." Light said before he glared at Ryuk.
"You don't want me in here? Fine, I'll just go outside in the hall." Ryuk said only towards Light. Ryuk left Kira's room with Bloom following after.
"I take it you haven't told your human?" Bloom regrettably asked.
"Of course not, it will make more interesting for him to find out himself. Let me guess you almost told her didn't you? You always slip up! " Ryuk chuckled.
"When Light kiss her. It was priceless but, I think the same with mine. Also, I hate to help you but I suggest you dispose of the TV properly. L had sent Lights father to retrieve it this morning." Bloom told him gritting through his teeth.
"And? I tend let things flow. I don't like meddling at times it can cause things to become more intriguing but also boring. More importantly how do know about that?" Ryuk replied.
"Raikou is on L's task force. While we were watching the cameras Raikou told L about the TV. If L gets his hands on it Light will be put in jail sooner than expected and that will be the end of Kira. We will go back to the shinigami realm to be bored once again" Bloom informed Ryuk. Ryuk hated taking advice from others but he knew he was right. He had had so much fun with Light and for it to disappear just like that. He didn't like it; no he couldn't stand it. Ryuk flew back into Light room. Ryuk interrupted my conversation about collage.
"Light! Get rid of the TV! They're looking for it!"
Ryuk got no response for Light. Ryuk flew over to his desk knocking over his desk lamp to land on his trash can. Ryuk's plan had worked the lamp managed to knock over the trashing can spilling papers everywhere.
'Damn shinigami, what is he doing?' Light thought.
"Looks like my desk lamp fell causing the trash can get knocked over." L concluded for me.
"Light! Get rid of the LCD TV. Your father is looking for it.
'What? My father is looking for it? How can that be? The cameras? Did L somehow think that I could I have a mini TV hidden in my room?' Light thought.
"Raikou I'll be right back. I'm going to take out the trash." Light told her leaving her alone on his room. Ryuk can just go die. Bloom must've told him about the TV. I tip toed through the Yagami's house looking for the master bedroom. Where is chief? I asked myself after seeing his room empty. Sayu saw me snooping around their house but she didn't process anything; she was too involved with that movie star or whatever. I reached the front house and saw Mr. Yagami in the doorway; watching someone. I peaked over Mr. Yagami's shoulder to see Light handing his trash to the garbage man. Then the sounds of trash being crushed could be heard.
"Damn." I whisper walking back up the stairs without letting Light or the chief see me.
Yagami turned around sharply looking where that voice came from it sounded like Isabelle's but a…younger tone. His thoughts were interrupted by none other than L. Yagami's phone began to echo throughout his house. He groaned in his failure.
"Raikou, Light! Lunch is ready!"
After Light came back after properly disposing the evidence, he acted as if nothing wrong. But oh light everything is wrong. Don't give me that look of innocence. We were both awkward towards each other; not knowing what to say. I knew my reasoning's for my anti-socialness but not Lights. Light wouldn't be distracted by what happened earlier he can hide his feeling fairly easily. We finally (after ten minutes of silence) settled on studying for our entrance exams. Because you know that's what you do when you're stuck in Kira's room for a few hours. Eventually Lights mother saved us from studying any farther by calling us down for lunch.
"Light where is the bathroom?"
"It's just outside the door on the right, Raikou."
I walked into Lights bathroom motioning Bloom to follow.
"Do you really want me in here?" Bloom asked.
"You told Ryuk about the TV! Didn't you?" I was in rage.
"No, Ryuk and I were catching up when we heard Lights father talking on the phone about it. I presume it was L."
I glared at Bloom but I can't win in this argument. Bloom could kill me at any moment if he wanted to.
"Fine."
I ended up sitting right beside Light (go figure) and Chief and across from Sayu and Mrs. Yagami. Chief gave me worried glances every once in a while. Harsher when I talked.
"So, Raikou I heard you skipped two years." Mrs. Yagami said.
"Ah, yes ma'am, that's right." I said plain and simple.
"Soooooo." Sayu drew out. "Are you two dating?" Sayu said in the blunted way possible.
"Oh. No, no we're not." I waved my hands in disagreement blushed all the same.
"But you're blushing! Then that means…you two have kissed!" Sayu concluded. I blushed even more at her statement.
"Sayu!" Chief warned.
"So how are you're parents, Raikou?" Light mentioned changing the subject.
"They're fine." I told him.
"That's good. Are they still not back from America?" I asked.
Why do you have to act like you care?
"No…They're not back yet but they should be soon." I happily said.
"You're living alone?" Mrs. Yagami asked joining the conversation.
"Yes. I am" I replied
"Hmm…Why don't you stay with us? We have an extra room." Lights mother was concerned for me. Chief looked a little shocked. I could tell he didn't like the idea. Having a girl around Lights age didn't please him.
"No I couldn't do that. I would just get in the way. Like I said they should be back soon." I shook my head in reply.
"But I couldn't live with myself if knew I sweet girl like you were home alone every night. Even if it's a few days please stay." She smiled. I'm doomed. And being the awkward person I am I said yes. Sure, I could've just flat out said 'no'. But of course I didn't. I know I should've declined her offer but I couldn't. I kind of want to stay. It might make things interesting.
"Who are you?"
"Excuse me?"
"May is not your last name."
"I rather you not tell me who or who I'm not, L." I told him slyly.
Your mother, Lyric Brent, disappeared years ago with a man of the name, Fuuto Kawaguchi. Why lie about your last name? What do you not want me to know, Isabelle?"
I stood stalk still. How does L know my real last name? My family isn't from Death Note they're records shouldn't be here…unless they are. No, that's not possible.
"Kira." I replied
"You are worried Kira will kill you? Why?"
"I don't like my name to be carelessly thrown around…that's all." I mentioned in a small voice.
"3%" L muttered.
I groaned when the detective said he thought I could possibly be Kira.
"Think what you will L…Let things run its course and the truth will be revealed. I spat L words back him. But, I guess L wouldn't have known that if he hasn't said them yet.
"Hmm, Yes." L mumbled walking off like he lost to a child.
"L," L didn't turn around to look at me; instead he went over to a table with assortment of sweets on it.
"I'm requesting a few days off. Someone has quit at the bakery; they need me to fill in. I also need to leave early today to close up the shop."
"I see, very well then. That's fine." He said with his mouth full with cake.
L's attitude came off as 'yeah whatever' what I didn't know was he checking for signs of lying.
I didn't actually need to close up shop nor did someone quit. I needed to go to my apartment to pack and I need to study more if I wanted to get into To-Oh.
Packing didn't take very long because I dint have much except a few outfits and my laptop. I realized I needed more items for my room. I stopped by a small shop to purchase stuff animals, colorful pens, and a few books. I trashed the grocery bags and stuffed my new items in my suitcase. I also got a new lock for my suitcase; I need to keep my wig, laptop and Death Note under high security. When I arrived at my new 'home' I was greeted by Mrs. Yagami she hugged me and told me how happy was I agreed to her offer.
While she was helping me get organized in the guest room, she asked,
"By the way, may I have your mothers' number? I would like to talk to her."
"Oh, umm uh, she broke her phone the other day; she has been calling me from different payphones. I'll make sure to give you the phone when she calls."
"Thank you, sweetie." she said cheerfully.
"Mr. Yagami? Who is that? Is that the same girl from dinner the other night?" L questioned. He saw a girl who looked strangely like Light. Except for the hair, the hair color was clearly different.
"Oh…That's Raikou Fuji. Her parents are in America so she staying with us for the time being." The chief said with a sigh.
"Watari! Look up Raikou Fuji from America." Turning back to the chief, "She doesn't happen to be related to you or your wife does she?
"No. She's not. I don't know much about her to be honest."
"I see."
Two days after I moved in noticed the cameras and wiretaps were removed. I was freaked out the first time I realized had to use the restroom. I'll just say it was awkward. From my room I could hear Light going down the stairs with Ryuk right behind him talking up a storm. Bloom and I watched Light and Ryuk go to the kitchen to grab an apple. i stepped out from behind the wall that I was hiding; walking up to Light.
"Oh , hey you have an apple! I'll just be taking that. Thanks." I wheeled around him snatching the apple. While Light looked confused and…a little scared like he had been caught. Ryuk was showing his nasty teeth. A growl escaped from his lips; it was low and deep.
"So, how's life?" I said cheeky.
"It was fine before you took my apple." Light teased. Light wasn't mad at me he was smiling. Before I could take a bite out of the apple Light swiped it back from me.
"MOOOOOOOOOM! LIGHT AND RAIKOU ARE FLIRTING!" Sayu screamed apparently she was watching the whole thing.
"You better get studying for the entrance exam tomorrow." Light winked while traveling up the stairs.
"They really do look like polar opposites don't they?" I asked the stranger sitting next to me. He nodded. L was currently holding up a creased and blank sheet of paper; reading his speech aloud.
L has been doing some research on Raikou he hasn't had any luck. The only information he has on her is her school records. L has considered having her on the task force because she is just as smart as Light. But she is under aged her parents are nowhere to be seen. It's weird that both Raikou and Isabelle's parents are mysteriously missing.
L and Light have both sat down beside me after their speeches. This is the part where L reveals himself. Will he do it when I'm around? Probably not, I should move. I was proven wrong the next second.
"I am L."
Light was going through his inter-monologue so I was the first to react.
"Well…damn." I whispered; wide eyed looking straight at L.
L grinned.
"If you are who you say you are then you have nothing but my respect and admiration." Light told L.
"Thank you, the reason I chose to reveal my identity to you is because I believe that the both of you can be of some help to us in the Kira investigation."
I declined L offer saying I needed to focus on my school work. L came up with this long detailed tale about he was joking about being L because he's one of Lights friends. A few days later had their tennis but I didn't go watch I already knew the out-come so I decided to go back to work with the task force.
They night was pretty slow. Ha! Really slow! In fact nobody was even there! After freaking out I concluded they were at the hospital with Yagami. I began spinning around in a chair trying to come up with things to do. Penbers finances case should come up soon. I don't think I should've saved her right? I mean I don't remember needing a reason why should live nor do I know how I could save her. There is no reason regretting over it. It's been and gone now. Almost two hours had passed before I started eating most of L's cakes I had plan when L came back.
"So, how'd the match go?" I asked knowing full well the out-come.
"I lost." He told me.
"Huh, well that's unexpected…I would offer you some cake…but this is the last piece." I said popping in my mouth. "Was." I corrected myself.
L face had gone from a blank sadness to horror.
"That wasn't a good idea…" mumbled Watari.
L began to walk towards me like he was about to slap me; I know he would never result to that in this case, but still I needed to calm him.
"It's not my fault it was the last piece! Masuda eat it all…except my piece."
"Masuda was at the hospital with me; if I remember correctly it still had a whole table full of desserts before I left." L gritted through his teeth.
L didn't look away; L's eyes bore into mine.
"Fine. Guilty! I did eat it all…it was delicious. Watari do you mind order more…just for me though?"
I couldn't help messing with L. It was just too easy. I cracked myself up sometimes. L didn't look like he was in the mood to be messed with.
"Look, Ryuzaki, I'm kidding; there should be another cake in the kitchen." I chuckled. "But seriously Watari do you mind?" I laughed even more at my sly comments.
"3.2%" L said with a slight smirk.
I wanted to post this earlier but I've became obsessed with Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, and White Collar...and the song Whistle While I Work It. Don't forget to review! I would love to hear if I've a major mistake. Which I probably have!(;
