Chapter Four: Photo Shoot

Murder is a funny thing.

There's many a motive for murder: revenge, anger, self defense, homophobia, racism and of course pure blood lust.

It was unknown at that moment in time why the murderer was killing, all the police knew was that another victim had been found.

Miyagi Arisu was found in the back alley of the street where her parents lived.

It was in the early hours of the morning she'd been discovered. Six AM to be exact. Coincidence or not that had been the exact time the body of Annie Chapman had been discovered on the eight of September 1888. It had been a Saturday morning all those years and it was a Saturday morning that the second victim that the copycat Ripper was discovered.

The only difference was that Arisu had been murdered in December.

There were three months in between September and December, perhaps that meant something. There was the holy trinity of 'the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit' after all or maybe it was the fact that human ability could be categorized into three ideas, thought, word and deed.

At the same time there could be no meaning in the three month difference, the killer may not have been able to start in September or they may not have had the idea until December.

Another factor worthy of note is that the killer seemed to be following the mysterious Jack's murders very carefully, a glass of wine had been found at the first murder scene and the second victim's body had been found laying in exactly the same manner-with legs drawn up, feet on the floor and knees turned out-at exactly the same time. There were differences though, a letter had been found at the site of the first victims murder, there had been less then a weeks difference between the two victims deaths and the second victim had been killed when she had been on the way to visit her parents the night before rather then working.

She'd been planning on cleaning up, on getting herself a better job yet she was still killed and written on her forehead in marker was the phrase 'sinner's never change'.

Saturday.

The first day of the weekend, a day of relaxation or partying for most teenagers and young adults.

Raito was an exception however and the first Saturday since joining the investigation was especially dreaded.

It was the day he would have to take Sayu to that photo shoot to meet Misa.

However he still dragged himself out of bed at eight that morning and followed through his usual morning routine.

Once downstairs and eating a slice of toast he turned the TV on, only half listening to his mother's and sister's conversation and the TV.

"Oh Sayu sweetie, you're going to look lovely in those photos and this certainly will be a day you won't forget."

"I know! I mean I don't want to be a model or anything but it will be so awesome, I'll actually get to meet a real life celebrity! I read an interview with Misa Misa and she seems really nice and she's really pretty...if only Raito would date girls like that," she exclaimed before she turned to her older brother, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Sayu! For the last time, there was nothing going on! I was helping Oto-san with the case and Ryuzaki wanted me to hurry up so we could discuss the case!"

The brunette female shook her head and grinned,

"I'm just playing with you oni-san! I believe ya," she said but Light could see she didn't from the mischievous glint in her eye.

"At six AM this morning that body of Miyagi Arisu was discovered in the alley behind her parents house, it is thought that she is the second victim of a Jack the Ripper copycat. Anyone with any information on either of the murders or the victims are being advised to contact the NPA."

The television caught Raito's attention with those words.

"A second victim..."

It was typical, a second victim would be found the day he couldn't go help out with the case.

Why had Sayu entered that damn competition and why couldn't they have held the shoot some other day?

In all honesty Raito was finding himself fascinated with the case, the killer was being so careful not to leave any trace of themselves and they were succeeding even with the technology the police had in the twenty first century.

"Raito! Don't start thinking about that murderer, I want to enjoy the day and I won't be able to do so if you're going to be all serious," Sayu whined.

As much as she loved and respected her big brother if something wasn't related to something intellectual then Raito would be extremely boring throughout the event.

The brunet just rolled his eyes,

"Fine...I suppose I'm going to have to keep my mind on watching you all day anyway."

*****

The shoot was being held at a photographers studio only a few blocks away. The photographer himself wasn't a famous one however he did take good shots and the magazine holding the competition often used him.

The only reason Sayu probably won was because she lived so close, that's how those competition's usually went. The companies didn't want to have to pay out for travel or accommodation.

It was nine-thirty AM when the siblings entered the studio, exactly on time just as Raito had planned it.

Waiting to greet them was the editor of the magazine-a smiley red headed woman in her early thirties dressed all in green-and Misa.

The blonde young woman had a bright smile on her face, looking clueless in a manner only befitting the model.

"Hello! I'm Misa and this is the editor of TeenGURL Tsuki!"

"Misa Misa, please call me by my full name, my name is Tsukiko and you must be Yagami Sayu," the pink woman corrected as she turned to Sayu, the smile on her face not faltering.

It was sort of creepy actually.

"That's me and this is Raito, he's my older brother."

That was when both Misa and Tsukiko seemed to notice Light, simultaneously checking him out before both looking at each other with a nod and a grin.

Oh god, this could turn out worse then the former serial killer had anticipated.

Misa bounced over to him with a smile,

"It's nice to meet you Raito! What do you say about going on a date with me later on?"

Blunt and flirtatious, no Misa wasn't any different to the Misa she had been as the second Kira.

"I'll have to decline, I have to take Sayu home, then I have some work to do," he replied as he held back a grimace. The blonde pouted but she let go of Light's arm and took Sayu's hand instead.

"C'mon Sayu-chan, we'll pick you out an outfit and then we'll do the shoot together."

Tsukiko smiled at him then,

"Have you ever thought of becoming a model yourself? The magazine is planning a pin up section soon for up and coming male models and I think you'd be pretty popular. What do you think?" she asked, her friendly smile growing into something more sinister.

What was with the people around here? Raito knew he was popular and good looking but did he really need to put up with all this stupidity? Usually he craved attention but today he just wanted to get away from it.

Oh what he'd give to have a death note right now, he could get rid of both Misa and Tsukiko so easily.

"Once again I'll have to decline, I'm busy with school and a part time job at the moment, maybe I'll model for your magazine another time," he responded with a charming smile.

That ought to shut her up.

The older woman looked flustered for a few seconds before she composed herself,

"I might just keep you to that! Now if you go through there and stand at the back you can watch the shoot, I'll just go check on Misa-chan and your sister," and with that comment the editor scuttled off.

The brunet followed the woman's instructions and headed into the other room, watching the two girl's enter the room as well all dressed up.

He couldn't help but frown at what his sister was wearing, she was wearing a blue turtleneck sweater dress with fishnet tights and black ugg boots.

Misa was as usual in something lolita inspired, her outfit consisting of a black bolero cardigan with ribbon on over a white blouse with a peter pan collar and a black skirt laced with ribbon and over the knee black and white socks with black Mary Jane shoes.

At least Misa looked like her normal self in her outfit, Sayu would never fish nets and a short dress. Then again it wasn't as bad as some of the things he saw other teenage girls walking around in.

Why teenage girls felt the need to walk around in short skirts and caked in make up he'd never know.

It was all ridiculous in Raito's opinion.

*****

The day went by all too slowly and by the end of the day Misa had already decided she would make herself Raito's girlfriend.

No matter how many times he pushed her away she would just come back for more, she was just as infatuated with him in this life and Kira wasn't even involved!

If only he could just get rid of her, there would be many boys who would queue up around the block just to catch a glimpse of the blonde model but Raito didn't care. Sure she was pretty but even before when she'd been flaunting herself in skimpy lingerie just for him he just hadn't been interested.

Girls threw themselves all over the teenager constantly but he didn't care, he didn't want a girlfriend who worked hard at making themselves look good but not much else. He wanted someone who was intelligent, who he could debate with and wouldn't roll over for him so easily.

Like L.

That thought came from no where and the brunet had to resist shaking his head to try and get rid of it.

He was going insane from all the stupidity he'd dealt with that day, it was true that L would probably make the perfect companion for him but only as a friend. L was male after all, he had certainly seen that when they had been chained together all that time in the past life.

Being chained to L.

That was certainly a period time that Raito tried not to think about too often, that had been quite an awkward and infuriating time for him.

"Oni-san, what are you thinking so hard about?"

The male turned to his younger sister with a small shrug,

"Nothing of note, just random things really," he answered.

Sayu sighed, she had wanted a more explanatory answer then that but she knew he wouldn't give up the truth so easily so she just chose to accept it like the good little sister she was.

The duo walked up their road and down their driveway, it was early evening now so their mother would be home and the front door unlocked.

As they entered they spotted two extra pairs of shoes by the entranceway, their father's shoes and a pair of dirty trainers.

L's shoes.

"Oto-san!" Sayu squealed as she ran through the hall to the living room where her father greeted her and introduced her to 'Ryuzaki'.

What the hell was L doing here?

He usually kept to himself and barely went out unless he was tailing a suspect himself like he had done at To Oh university.

Raito's brow furrowed into a frown but he schooled his expression into a friendly smile as he followed after his sister, entering the room with a quiet greeting to his mother before he turned to his father and their guest.

"Oto-san what are you doing home so early and why is Ryuzaki here?"

He thought he might as well get straight to the point.

Ryuzaki nodded at him in return, watching him with a blank expression as he nibbled at a slice of the cake his mother had probably cooked.

"I came here to speak to you Yagami-kun, you see it was quite urgent."
