"What is it you want, L?" Saya asked.
"I already told you," L said with a sigh of annoyance. Saya had been asking the same question since he showed up. I stood watching from the corner, aware of L's sneaking glances. I looked down and my red hair fell in my face. I'm going to get out of here soon. I can't take it. I know it's only been a few days, but I just can't take the seriousness.
"You did a case on a series of robberies. I want to tell you that your deduction is correct. I'm surprised you did it in such little time. Which one of you two is the head?" L asked.
"Neither, we are equal to each other," Saya replied.
"Is that so? Then why do you seem to always look to her for permission?" L asked Saya.
"Because she is better at telling the right time to fight. I look to her to see if I will be able to win, or at least come out unharmed. You should learn our ways, they're pretty intricate. Like a puzzle, and I've heard that you like puzzles. Am I correct?" Saya asked.
"Yes, you are correct. I like puzzles. Your sister seems to be the hardest one yet. Maybe you could help me with at least one piece. Why does she not talk?" L asked.
"Because no one listens. She also doesn't find a real need to. What's the point in talking if no one listens or cares? Can you even answer that question?" Saya asked with a smirk.
"Well, I care. I'll listen, if she is willing to talk. I'm pretty sure it would be very interesting. If not, I'll tell her. I doubt I'd have to."
I looked between the two. I walked to the door and waved my hand. I went to Saya and I's room, grabbed our few things, and left. I walked out of the orphanage. I hoped to never see it again.
I saw Matt run towards me, "Where are you going to go?"
I stood on my tiptoes, leaned next to his ear, and whispered, "I'm going to go somewhere that I'm needed." He stood shocked at the sound of my voice, but nodded slowly. I turned, waved, and smiled. Saya met up with me at the gate.
"I'm ready to live on our own, but are you?" she asked.
"Yes I am."
That was nine years prior. We'd been working for the US government ever since. We had been getting money for killing criminals they needed killed, or solved difficult cases that their police couldn't solve. I decided that the only way to live in this world with our talents, was to use them to save the world in which we lived. Kira, that's all we heard about for a couple months. I found out that L took that case, but it sounded interesting. I convinced Killer to let me help him.
"Killer," I called upstairs.
"What is it Silent? I was sleeping," Killer said irritatedly.
"Can we go help, L?" I asked childishly.
"No," Killer replied.
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?!"
"No."
"Please!?"
"No!"
"PLEASE!?"
"FINE!" Killer yelled angrily.
"Yay!" I yelled. "I already have the tickets. We leave in three hours. You might want to pack."
"What!? Crap I don't have any time," I heard Killer run around her room.
In three hours we were at the airport loading on to the plane. "I can't believe you convinced me to do this," Killer grumbled.
"I can, it was really easy. You need to toughen up a little bit more when it comes to me," I replied.
"Yeah, you're probably right. So do you know where he is?" Killer asked.
"Yep, all that we have to do is get through his alarms and safety precautions. It should be easy, I mean we have gotten through some of the toughest in the world," I replied, nonchalantly.
"Yeah, you're right. Do you think he still believes we're murderers, I mean criminal type murderers?"
"Probably. We did kill that guy right in front of him."
"I just hope that he doesn't hurt us. If we get hurt I'm going to be really mad at you," Killer hissed.
"Alright, I don't think we're going to get hurt though, just relax."
"Whatever. Hey do you think we'll see Matt, Mello, and Near?" Killer asked excitedly.
"Not there. L probably didn't ask them to help," I replied sadly.
"I miss them," Killer said.
"I do too. I really want to make them laugh again. I always had so much fun doing that," I said with a small smile. I quickly wiped it off my face and looked emotionless like usual, I saw Killer do the same.
"Alright, let's get some sleep before we land," Killer said.
"Yeah, alright," I replied and snuggled into my chair.
"This is where L is staying. He actually uses it as headquarters. You ready to break in?" I asked Killer.
"Oh yeah, this is going to be fun."
It only took about thirty minutes to get into the building. I found a door and knew that was where L was, I could smell all the sugar. I opened the door to find seven people behind thee door. I looked around and found L at a computer.
I walked up to him and said, "Hi L. Long time no see. Did you miss me?" He fell out of his chair and looked up at me with a surprised face. Everyone else looked over scared, except Watari who just looked annoyed.
"What are you doing her Silent? You too K?" Watari asked.
"I came to help. Why else would I come? To hurt you guys?" I asked.
"When did you start talking?" Watari asked, completely ignoring me.
"I started talking almost as soon after I left. Matt's heard me talk before," I said childishly. I pulled my stuffed animal seal from my pocket and put him on my head.
"I see you still carry around a stuffed animal," L said, getting up and dusting himself off.
"Yep," I said popping the p.
"Did you grow up at all?" Watari asked shaking his head.
"No," I said with a big smile.
"Thought not," Watari said under his breath.
"L, do you still believe we're murderers? I mean criminals?" Killer asked.
"Yes I do. I won't believe you aren't without proof," L said looking at his computer.
"We can get you proof," I said, poking him on the head repeatedly.
He sighed, grabbed my hand to keep it from poking him, and said, "Well then you should get it."
"We will," Killer said like a promise.
"Who are you?" a boy with light brown hair asked.
"I'm Silent," I said.
"I'm Killer," Killer said looking over at him.
"Killer?" he asked. Everyone looked scared, except L and Watari.
"I'm not a criminal, we work for the US government, or any government that pays us," Killer replied.
"We've worked for Japan before. You just probably never knew it. We work undercover," I said with a slight serious tone.
"Oh, okay. How do you know L? Have you worked with him before?" the boy asked.
"Nope. We met him when we were little. We can't tell you more," Killer said as I started to play with my seal. I made him jump on L's head. L sighed and took him from me.
"Give Matty back to me," I squealed.
"No," L replied.
"Please," I said giving him the puppy dog eyes.
"No, Silent. You have to learn to grow up," L said shaking his head.
"Fine, " I said, getting rid of my childish voice. "Will you let us help you?"
"No. It's too dangerous, and I don't trust you," he replied.
"And you trust them?" I asked waving my hand to the other men in the room.
"I trust them more than you," L said looking at me. I nodded and walked over to the door. "We'll be in Japan for a while. If you need us, or want us, just contact us," I said over my shoulder. Killer came up behind me and we left.
"You okay?" Killer asked me.
"Yeah, I was just hoping that he'd think it over."
"You WHAT?!" Killer asked. I sighed and gave her my phone showing her the text I had sent to L. It said:
Hello,L. I was planning on pretending to be Kira to draw out the real one. I wanted to know what you thought about it, also to warn you of my plan. -Silent
"I can't believe you did that," Killer said with a sigh. "Any way, do you have the recording?"
"Yeah. It's in that envelope," I said pointing to a big yellow envelope on the counter.
"Alright, I'll go drop it off. I'll be back in about ten minutes."
"Kay."
The news came up and the recording I had made was played. I hoped it would draw out the real Kira, at least get a response from him. L had completely hated the idea, but I didn't care. My phone started to ring, it was L. I answered it.
"I thought I told you not to do it," L growled.
"I didn't listen to you. L, you need to understand that I am not going to do what you say, unless I work for you. And you said that you didn't want me to work for you. That means that I can do what ever I want to solve this case," I replied.
"You shouldn't work this case Silent. Quit it," L said.
"No. And by the way, you still have Matty, my seal. I'll be coming back to get him today. We'll continue this conversation when I get there. Bye, L," I said. I hung up right when he was about to speak.
"I'm going to go get Matty back from L," I called to my sister.
"Alright, call when you get there and when you are coming back," Killer called back.
I grabbed my jacket and left. I got to the Kira case HQ and walked in. I was met by Watari and he led me into the main HQ room. I called my sister before going in. I walked up to L and tapped his shoulder. He turned around and gave me a disappointed look.
"Don't look at me like that," I said.
"I'll look at you any way I want," he replied. He handed me Matty and brought me over to the couches.
"Now to continue our previous conversation," I said in a horrible announcer voice.
"Next time you should leave it to me, I'm in charge of the Kira case," L said.
"Yeah, but I'm in charge of myself. You could always tell me what not to do if you let me work for you," I pointed out.
"I won't let you work with me," he growled. Everyone looked at us. I turned and glared at them and they turned away.
"If any of you eavesdrop I will clog your ears with your fingers," I growled to them. Everyone sweat dropped except Watari and L, who knew I wasn't saying the truth. "Why won't you let me work for you? And the truth this time."
"I don't want you to get hurt. If you did Mello, Matt, and Near would kill me. Also you are a very good detective. I'm also waiting for that proof of yours."
"I'll get it for you, then you will trust me," I said to him softly. "Until then, goodbye."
