Now, ONWARDDD. ITH. HAHA.
"Why do you need all of those computers?" Ku asked in a nosy manner, flying behind me as I walked down the street carrying two large boxes in my hands. The boxes consisted of the best, most expensive laptops I could find in some high quality Japanese electronics store. Hidden in my duffle bag I had bought at the Japanese equivalent of Claire's was a few notebooks, a camera, some small spy cameras people placed in their houses to look out for robbers, and a few books on video editing and computer skills and stuff. I'd even managed to get a book on hacking! I could've sworn that was illegal….
This was my second trip – I had gone to various stores already to get clothes. I mainly got plaid skirts and long sleeved shirts in various colors, a couple pairs of skinny jeans and Graphic Tees, and few pairs of shoes. The shoes consisted of a pair of fuzzy boots for when it was cold out, a pair of Converse, and finally a pair of combat boots. I loved combat boots – they were so much fun to kick people with. Along with the clothes, I had gotten more bandages and an eye-patch which I swore I would NEVER wear. Lastly, I got a thing of pencils and hair ties though I rarely put my hair up.
After dropping the clothes off at the house earlier, I had doubled back to the shopping district to get the rest of my supplies. I made sure to pay in all cash and offer fake names as to not be traced on the off chance that I was suspected. I had even come up with an alias while I shopped! Tatsumaki Arisu – it sounded pretty to be and easy to remember. Tatsumaki meant hurricane or tornado, Arisu was the Japanese form of Alice. A Japanese name would be less obvious then my American name and I'd have to practice on my Japanese accent.
I had learned Japanese last year throughout subbed anime and a pirated copy of Rosetta Stone. This left me being able to read and speak most of the language, even if I was overly formal and occasionally screwed up.
"You'll see." I said simply, struggling to see where I was going. I had already walked into two different light poles – though whether that was because of the sudden anime quality the world had taken of the fact that I could only see through one eye I didn't know. I was still having difficulties with depth perception in my NORMAL world, let alone this one.
"Well, I'm bored! We should buy some tomatos!" Ku grumbled. I raised an eyebrow in the white-haired Shinigami's direction.
"So it's true that all Shinigami have at least one thing there addicted to?" I questioned, barely managing not to smile. Ku didn't seem to notice though.
"Yeah! Tomatos are awesome!" The reaper said excitedly, flying beside me with the use of his spindly light brown wings.
"I should start calling you Sasuke." I murmured, smirking at my own joke. Ku, obviously not getting the reference, just gave me a weird look. I sighed and shook my hair out of my face.
"Fine, I'll get you some damn tomatos." My voice was exasperated – and I was too. I still needed to go back to the hotel and set all the equipment up – not to mention read through the books to see what else I'd need, then brush up on my lacking hacking (hehe rhyme) skills. I probably knew enough about hacking from my friend April that I had met at summer camp last year to hack into the Japanese Police Force's mainframe if I wanted to, but I'd need to work a lot harder to hack into L's computer. Actually, I'd need to start tracking his IP address when I got home too… sigh. I was going to get greyer hair by the time I did this. And if possible, I'd much rather just put one of the camera's in L's hotel room instead of hacking his laptop.
He was L - if a thirteen year old girl could hack his computer, I'd be a little concerned.
After a quick stop at Takashi's, the local supermarket, for Ku's tomatoos, I began my trek back to the hotel that was currently my home. Ku was still loudly reciting the many reasons he was in love with the fruit… vegetable? I should google that later.
I had turned back to snap at him to shut up when I ran into something solid – and not a pole. My boxes clattered to the ground and I fell over, crying out as my ankle twisted a way it definitely shouldn't. I looked up at blinked a few times before mentally freaking out. Because in front of me stood Kira.
"Oh, sorry! Are you all right?" Light Yagami said politely, and I quickly got an idea. I sneakily pinched myself, my eyes watering in pain.
"M-my ankle! I think it might be sprained…" I whimpered, and when Light crouched down I smirked inwardly. Hit, line, and sinker.
"Here, where do you live? I can help get you home." He said, looking at me, particularly at the bandage covering my eye. Crap, I couldn't tell him about the hotel if I was going to be E. Invent something, Ella! Quickly!
"W-well, I just moved here, and I got lost… I can't remember the address and my mom is at a conference in Osaka." I said, making sure to sound worried. I knew, as Kira, Light Yagami had a hero complex. There's no way he would leave me here – I at least knew that much about his personality. And Ryuk was probably behind him right now, if he slight frown to Light's lips said anything.
Something about myself – I had always been rather talented at reading people's expression and body language. The more I knew about the person the better. Seeing as how I had obsessively read about the boy in front of me he was like an open book: completely obvious, and easy to manipulate if I played my cards right.
"Oh… well I can't just leave you here. I'll take you home, my father is on the police force, and he can help you out."
Yay, a plan going right! Wait… if he took me home… I could touch his Death Note and see Ryuk. Maybe even steal a page for blackmail. And I could probably put place one of the spy cameras I had bought on Yagami-san and listen from my hotel room on the monitors. Maybe I could stash something in his pocket and hope that L could find it... hm. I needed to plot more.
I watch way too many crime shows. Anyway, I looked up at him with a hopeful eye. "Really? Oh thank you! I'm Tatsumaki Arisu! What's your name?" I jabbered as he helped me up. I made sure to lean against him, playing up the helpless little girl thing, though I really couldn't put weight on the ankle. Upon observing my ankle, I came to the conclusion that it wasn't broken, but badly sprained. Greaaaat. Oh, wait, if Ryuk was there he could see my name… and would probably be laughing. I could use this.
"Did you hear that laughing?" I asked Light, looking at him with an innocently wide eye, barely being able to hold back as I felt him stiffen and look behind himself nervously for a second.
"I didn't hear anything – it was probably your imagination Arisu-san. I'm Yagami Light, by the way." He said, his voice no longer carefully controlled as it had been before.
I giggled at him, smiling with my eye closed. "Thank you Light-kun." The mass-murderer sent me a small polite smile before he began helping me walk back the opposite way I had been heading, holding my laptop in one hand. The tomatos lay forgotten on the road.
"Sorry Ku." I whispered to the pouting Shinigami, softly enough for Light not to hear.
"You owe me." He grumbled, flying behind me, but I had the strangest feeling he was smiling.
Time to start Phase 1 of plan Become Close to Kira.
Yeah, I reaaaaally hate this chapter. Like, a lot. But it's important x_x QUESTION: DO YOU THINK TOMATOS ARE A FRUIT OR VEGTABLE? If you give me the right answer you get a virtual cookie! :3
