"You have to promise!"
"Promise what Rin?"
Pouting, the red headed teen looked up at the raven haired boy. Holding out her pinky she said. "You have to promise, that no matter what, if one of us gets adopted or like dies! We will be best friends!"
He looked down at her, before sighing and kneeling in front of her, wrapping his pinky around hers. "Better?" she beamed nodding before standing up and brushing the dirt of her overalls. The two walked back over to their bikes. "Come on Lawliet, Mello and Matt are waiting for us…"
Rin sat up, waking from the dream, looking for the source of noise that woke her from her slumber, spotting the ringing cell phone on her nightstand, growling she grabbed it and pressed the accept button.
"Wha? Hello?" The red head answered, still half asleep.
"You wouldn't happen to have made any cake recently, by any chance?"
She closed her eyes recognizing the voice. "Law-Ryuzaki, what the hell? It's…" she looked at the clock "five in the morning on a Saturday…" she ran a hand through her red curls.
"I don't sleep much, or have you forgotten, now about the cake." The other replied. Rin threw her legs of the side of the bed, "Ya, I Have cake and wait, how the fuck did you get my number anyway?"
"I have my ways"
She paused, blinking before shaking her head. "I don't even want to know, you probably have my address too, don't you?"
"Yes" he answered back; Rin yawned and stretched "fine, fine come over, I'm awake now…"
"…See you soon then" Ryuzaki answered before hanging up. Rin yawned once more before grabbing a pair of sweatpants off the floor, slipping them onto her legs; she got up from her warm bed and padded barefoot downstairs.
Walking into the kitchen, she set her phone down on the table. While making herself a pot of coffee, something soft brushed against her leg, looking down at the gray cat, giving it a tired smile, Rin reached down to pet the feline on the head.
"I bet you're missing Matt aren't you?" the cat meowed in reply. Rin giggled and poured herself her coffee and added some creamer, "Just a few more days Zelda, and he'll be back from his Gaming convention" the cat purred at the mention of her name and bounded over to her food dish.
With her coffee in hand, Rin walked over to the massive pile of fur in the corner and nudged it with her foot, "get up Tuna…" The dog, a brown Newfoundland, yawned and looked around before getting up.
Zelda looked up from her food bowl, ran over and jumped up on the table.
Rin leaned against the counter, sipping her caffeinated beverage, picked up the remote and turned on the TV, changing it to a news station.
"Another killing took place late earlier this morning; police say all evidence lead to the rising serial killer, Kira."
Narrowing her eyes, Rin set down her mug and turned up the volume. "Just as I predicted…" he mused to herself
"Kyo Sawada, a notorious child molester, jailed in 1999. Was found dead in his cell, due to heart attack, on his chest, carved with his own nails, was the word. 'Kira'…"
Rin set down the remote and ran out of the kitchen, opening the door to a small study, newspaper clipping and articles lined one wall, another covered in numbers, and X's.
Grabbing a rather worn looking book from the desk, he ran back into the kitchen she sat at the table, pulling the pen from the wire spine, opening it to a page with dates, names and crimes written, she went to the bottom of the page.
"Kyo Sawada" she mouthed "Age…thirty eight…. Molestation" she wrote. Zelda watched her pen moved over the paper quickly. "Jail time, twenty five years no bail…" she whispered. Scribbling down the date of death, and the way of death, she set the pen down and looked back at the news broadcast.
"That means the next murder victim will either be another serial killer or…." She trailed off running the calculations over and over in her head.
She had been tracking the movements of the Serial killer 'Kira' over the past few months, "This killer is different from all the others" she told herself at the very beginning.
Rin was overjoyed upon learning; the great L was taking up the case. She respected L. Perhaps it was just something to pass the time, like how she was in a band. But, this was bigger than just something to pass the time.
Tuna looked up from his spot on the floor and stared barking, running for the door, Rin smiled lightly and got up, walking to the door, she moved the dog back with her leg and opened the door. Ryuzaki held up his hand, "Yo"
Holding the door open, the male walked in. Rin was about to closed to the door, she noticed an older looking man standing by, the car, a Rolls Royce. "You can come in to!" she called
He looked up, and gave a worn smile, "I'll just sit on the porch if you don't mind"
"Go ahead" she motioned for one of the chairs, and closed the door behind her, turning about; she was stunned to see Ryuzaki standing awkwardly in the foyer while Tuna had his front paws planted on his chest and was trying to lick his face.
She giggled before reaching out and pulling the dog by the collar back onto the floor, where he wagged his tail excitedly.
Ryuzaki followed her back into the kitchen, where again, he stood awkwardly. Rin opened the fridge and pulled out a place with a half eaten cake and set it on the table. "Would you like some coffee?" she asked
He looked over at her. "Sugar please"
Rin set his cup down on the table and took a seat, motioning for him to take a seat as well, he nodded and sat down and drew his knees to his chest.
"Where's Matt?" he asked, sipping his drink.
She shrugged. "Some big video game convention California, he should be back by Tuesday" Ryuzaki nodded, he looked down, noticing a notebook on the table. "What's this?" he asked reading the page, she had just written on.
"It's! Um... Oh dear…" she trailed off, not coming up with a valid excuse.
After a minute or so, Ryuzaki looked up from the notebook. "You're tracking Kira?" Nodding, Rin fidgeted with her hands. "Yes, for a few months now, I found patterns in the way he moves and kills, I can almost give an exact prediction of who he's going to kill next. It's weird I know…"
"It's not weird…"
Rin looked up "it's not?" The male shook his head, "No, in fact, this is very precise and detailed, would you mind if I borrowed this for a day or two?"
"No, it's fine."
He gave her a tiny smile as he stood up and put the notebook under his arm, the plate of cake in his one hand. Rin followed him to the door, and watched him out his shoes back on. He opened the door and paused before leaving; he turned around and quickly leaned down and pecked her on the cheek. "Thanks Rineta"
Wide eyed, she slowly waved goodbye as the older man followed him off the porch back to their car. Closing the door behind her covered her flushed cheeks with her hands.
"Oh jeez…"
