I do not own Death Note.

Chapter four: Always watching


Light's room

"I'm so bored" Katana whined, she gave Ryuk an accusing look "I thought you said Light was fun!"

Ryuk chuckled "He is, but he can't exactly entertain us with the cameras around"

"When will the cameras go away?" Katana questioned

"I don't know, they've been here for just two days." Ryuk answered

It took Light every fiber in his body not to twitch in annoyance at the two supernatural beings who were complaining. He didn't exactly like the situation either.

"I want an orange!" Katana exclaimed

"I want some apples" Ryuk said

The two shared a look before turning to Light "Liight" Katana called as the two roamed over Light "How about a reward? I handled meeting your family pretty well if I do say so myself"

"I'm out of chips" Light commented out loud as he ate the last chip, he stood up and made his way downstairs

"I'm going out for a bit!" he called out


"Ne, Light?" Katana questioned peeling her orange as she was back in her human form

"What?" Light asked

"Can I have some money? I want to go 'shopping' like Sayu said girls do" Katana requested

Light contemplated this for a bit, I had something I wanted to ask Ryuk when he's alone. This is the perfect opportunity. He thought to himself "Come back when you're done and make sure no one sees you turn back into your other form" he ordered

"Roger!" Katana said with a salute, her face broke into a grin as she tackled Light into a hug "You're a great human!" she said

Light shot the amused Ryuk a look as if asking if Katana will listen "Relax," Ryuk started with a grin "Henko no kagami take obedience seriously, once they give you their word they'll follow through to the end"

Satisfied Light handed Katana some money which she took with great glee. "I'm off!" she declared running away

"So Ryuk" Light started, "There's something I've been meaning to ask you" he stated

Ryuk munched on his apple "What?" he questioned

"Why did you ask Katana if she forgave you earlier?" Light asked raising a curios eyebrow

"I just wanted to make sure she'll go along with something I wanted her to do," Ryuk casually answered "Henko no kagami are vengeful beings after all" he added as an after thought as he grinned at Light "Make sure you don't piss Katana off"

"Or what? She'll hurt me?" Light questioned in amusement

"You'll find out soon enough" Ryuk answered

"Also..." Light started "What would happen if I tell Katana what you just told me? I'd consider not telling her if you tell me L's whereabouts and his name" he offered

Ryuk snorted in amusement "Go ahead and tell her, but who do you think she'll believe? Me or you?" he cockily asked


With Katana.

Humans are geniuses...Katana thought in awe as she flipped over to the other page of a shoujo manga.

"Miss, are you going to buy that?" the clerk asked with a sweat drop

"In a bit..." Katana answered plopping a lollipop in her mouth

The clerk merely shook her head in amusement "Young people and their comic books these days" the old lady muttered to herself

"Just tell her you love her already!" Katana urged flipping the page again "Idiot, you missed your chance!"


During Katana's arrival, somewhere else.

Third person POV

"Your son had been doing nothing out of the ordinary..." L noted a bit after Light had gone grocery shopping.

"Why wouldn't he?" Soichiro questioned

"Hmm, I was just commenting on his behaviour so far, no need to be so serious" L stated

Soichiro sighed, relaxing a bit.

A knock brought the two's attention.

"One moment!" Sayu Yagami called out approaching the door

The door then went open to reveal a girl with waist-length light brown hair and violet eyes. She was wearing a long black skirt that reached a bit under her knees, her black boots reached mid knee and she had a white button up shirt.

"Who's that?" L asked glancing at Soichiro

"I don't know, I've never seen her before" Soichiro answered with a frown, the two then turned their attention back

"Hi?" Sayu asked

The girl smiled "I am here for Light?" she requested

"Light just went out to buy some stuff for lunch" Sayu stated

"Sayu, who's at the door?" Sachiko asked walking to the door

The girl smiled smiled at the older woman "Good afternoon" she greeted with a formal bow

"Ah, hello there." Sachiko greeted with a polite smile

The girl coughed "I'm looking for Light" she said staring directly at Sachiko's eyes.

"I'm afraid he just went out, you can come in and wait if you want..." Sachiko informed the girl trailing off

"Ah, I'm Katana. Sorry for being so rude!" the newly dubbed Katana quickly apologized

"Don't worry about it, I'm Sachiko and this is Sayu" Sachiko introduced

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sachiko-san, Sayu-san" Katana said as the two stepped aside allowing her to enter

"How exactly do you know my brother?" Sayu asked as she and Sachiko led Katana to the kitchen

"Good question" L stated staring intently at the new guest

"We have a mutual friend." Katana answered

"Mutual friend?" Soichiro repeated with a frown

"So you and Light aren't friends?" Sayu questioned with a frown

"Sayu..." Sachiko warned with a sigh

"I'm afraid not," Katana answered earning the two's attention along with Soichiro and L's

"Why not? Don't you like him like every other girl?" Sayu questioned getting even more confused

"Well...to be honest I don't even know what Light looks like. I was just told to meet Light here by our mutual friend" Katana answered

"The question is," L started earning Soichiro's attention "Who exactly is their mutual friend?"

"Oh, that explains it! Usually every girl has a crush on Light" Sayu said with a giggle

"They do? He must look really handsome" Katana mused

"Take a seat dear," Sachiko instructed

The two younger girls promptly sat at the table next to each other

"Well Light is pretty good looking, he could even me a model!" Sayu quickly said

Katana looked confused for a moment but then she had an awed smile "I could imagine" she stated

"You're really pretty too" Sayu allowed

"I think you are too Sayu-san" Katana said with a blush

"R-really?" Sayu asked

"Really" Katana answered

Sayu grinned "Thank you very much!" she thanked much to Soichiro's shock.

Soichiro knew his daughter wasn't a girl with very manners and it was odd for Sayu to compliment let alone thank someone.

Sachiko's eyes widened a bit in shock before a smile came.

"Why does Sayu Yagami thanking the girl earn such a reaction from you and your wife?" L questioned looking at Soichiro

"Sayu is pretty mean to people she meets for the first time, so having her react pleasantly to this girl despite not knowing her before hand is a surprise" Soichiro answered

"You are very welcomed Sayu-san" Katana said

"Just Sayu" Sayu said

Then the door went open to reveal Light who promptly let out a "I'm home!" and then he noticed Katana's footwear, he shook his head walking towards the kitchen

"Welcome back!" Sachiko and Sayu called

"There was an extra pair of..." Light trailed off as he stood at the kitchen door looking at Katana "Am I interrupting something?" he questioned

"Katana's here to see you!" Sayu quickly said

"Oh." Light said with a sheepish smile

"They really don't know each other" Soichiro noted

"Yes, unless they're acting" L stated

"Acting?" Soichiro questioned in disbelief

"Yes, in order to make her presence known Katana introduced herself as a friend of Light's friend. However this theory has merely a three percent chance of being true" L explained

"I see..." Soichiro stated turning back to the TV

"I feel offended..." Katana finally said

"I'm sorry-" Light began but was cut off

"But I suppose our friend really likes misinforming people about certain arrangements." Katana said shaking her head with a small smile

"What are you talking about Katana?" Sayu asked

"Ryu-chan must have given Light the wrong information" Katana answered

Light chuckled in amusement "He lets you call him Ryu-chan?" he questioned

"Not really, that's just what my other friends call him. It irritated him so I decided to stick with it you see." Katana answered

"Well good to know, I should call him that too" Light said

"That would be very rude" Katana said narrowing her eyes at Light

"Well you called him that first" Light pointed out

"It's because I have the right to" Katana said making the tension appear

"It seems your son said something which offended her" L commented

"Really?" Light questioned seemingly taken aback

"Really" Katana nodded, "After all he is my childhood friend" she said

"She placed great emphasis on the fact that this mutual friend of the two is her childhood friend" L noted, "She must be very possessive of others" he concluded

"R-right..." Light said with a nod

Then Katana smiled, "I can see why you said Light had some good looks Sayu" she said making the tension go away

"Hmm, told you so" Sayu said with a nod

"I suppose we should get on with this arranged meeting?" Katana questioned

"Yeah, mom? I'll be taking Katana up to my room" Light informed

"That won't really be needed" Katana quickly said, "Whatever we have to say to each other isn't anything that needs us to be alone in a closed space, right?"

"She doesn't seem to want to be alone with your son" L noted

"Maybe she doesn't like closed spaces" Soichiro offered

"Right" Giving a smile Light sat across from the still politely smiling Katana

"So why exactly did he send you to me of all people?" Light asked

"Because he said you're the funniest guy he knows" Katana answered with a simple shrug, "I was also hoping you could help me find the place I'm staying at."

Soichiro coughed a bit at that

"Is something wrong?" L questioned

"I just don't know how this friend of theirs could think my son is funny" Soichiro answered

"Hmm, from what I've seen so far Light Yagami is a serious person" L stated

"Right, you're new here" Light said

"Really?" Sayu asked jumping in the conversation

Katana nodded "Yes, the friend I was talking about asked me to come here on short notice to help him" she answered

"Help with what exactly?" Soichiro questioned narrowing his eyes

"Well then after lunch I can help you get to your place" Light said

"Thank you" Katana thanked

"You're welcome, any friend of his is a friend of mine after all" Light said smiling at her

Katana merely chuckled in amusement.

"So Katana where are you from?" Sayu questioned

"She's from America" Light quickly answered

"Cool! Do you know English!?" Sayu asked

Light turned to look at Katana, his face showing a bit of worry

"Yes, I love English" Katana fluently said

"She said 'yes, I love English'." Light translated

"That's so cool! How come you know Japanese so well though?" Sayu questioned

"It's because Japanese is a language I adored ever since I could remember, the words flow better in music..." Katana said with a far off dreamy look

"You like music?" Sachiko questioned placing some dishes in front of the trio

"I love music" Katana stated

Then Katana engaged with some chit chat with the other females

"Watari..." L called still looking intently at Katana. Five percent..


Present time, Light.

"I'm back!" Light called re entering his house

"Hey Light?" Sayu asked just as she was walking downstairs

"What?" Light asked

"Do you know if Katana might come again?" Sayu asked with a hopeful look

"Maybe, it depends on her mood." Light answered, "You and mom really like her,huh?" he questioned in amusement

Sayu nodded "She's cool, I really want to go shopping with her sometime"

"That's a good idea" Light said with a closed eye smile "She's new here after all"

"Yeah, mom also wants to join us if Katana says yes" Sayu informed with a grin

"I'm sure Katana will say yes." Light assured her

"She has a weird name though, doesn't katana mean sword? I thought she was from America" Sayu thoughtfully said

"She is, her father was Japanese while her mother's an American." Light easily lied, This will make L suspect Katana more and in turn might make him suspect me even more so too but if I play it well and convince him that I truly don't know much about Katana he'll go on a wild goose chase to prove that Katana is Kira.

"Oh" Sayu said, her mouth dropping open in an 'o'


With Katana.

"Excuse me m'am?" Katana asked the clerk

The old woman looked at Katana with a kind smile "Yes miss?"

"Do you by any chance have the next volume of Say I love you?" Katana asked

"Why yes I do, it's in the back" the clerk answered

"May I please read it?" Katana asked with a hopeful look

"Of course you may" the clerk chuckled, What a polite girl.

What a kind old lady...Katana thought


With Watari.

This is odd. Watari thought to himself

He had just searched the data base for any information that could match Katana's description. "Better tell L.." he muttered to himself

Watari picked up the phone and called L.

"Yes. this is Ryuzaki speaking" L said emotionless

"Sir I could not find anything on Katana. She has absolutely no history anywhere."

"Interesting.." L said going deep in thought. "Thank you Watari. I will inform you if I need anything else."

"You're very welcome sir. Goodbye" They hung up

"What is it?" Soichiro said looking at L

"It seems Katana has no history" He said still deep in thought

"Is that possible?" Soichiro asked

"Yes. If a child were born outside of a hospital or somewhere without a certified nurse present then they would have no records of the child when it was born. And if the child doesn't go to school get an ID or go to the dentist then they wouldn't have any records there either. This is mostly the case in poor countries like Africa, but it could happen anywhere really. The fact that she can speak English so fluently makes me doubt that she didn't go to school. Of course there are other sources but they would have records too." He answered still staring at the TV screen

"Oh." Soichiro said realizing the logic of what L was saying
