Lily: Hi again! *goes to glomp a random reader*
Daemon: Oh no you don't! *grabs her around the waist*
Lily: *squirming* Daemon! Let go!
Daemon: No! I'm not getting sued!
Lily: *laughing and squirming* No! It tickles!
Daemon: O.o *drops her* uh... we don't own Death Note.
Lily: Haha! So enjoy! Hahaha! *rolling on the ground*
~*Seventeen Days Later*~
"Hey, Rem, I forget. Why can't I see my own or Arisa's life spans even though I have the Shinigami eyes. Do you think you could tell me again?" Misa asked.
"Humans with Shinigami eyes only need to know the lifespan of their victims. Just as we Shinigami can't see the lifespan of others of our kind, humans who posses a Death Note cannot see each other's lifespan even with the eyes." As usual, Kayo played absolutely no part in the conversation and I was busy drawing a new outfit for Misa.
It was the day we'd specified the journal page to be broadcast on television. I could only hope that Kira was smart enough to know to go to Aoyama on the 22nd, where I'd hidden the message about the notebooks, and not the game at the Tokyo Dome on the 30th. He's at least smart enough to see that the game is just a red herring for the police, right? Well, if not, there's not really anything we could do about it now. The message was out.
"Hey, Mimi, you've got your wig already, right?" I asked my sister. Being a model and actress, she couldn't just go out like she normally looks.
"Yep! And a pair of faux glasses, too, to add to the disguise," she said. We were treating this almost like a spying mission.
Of course, I wasn't going to wear a disguise. Sure I helped Misa out with outfits and such but few people knew or cared about a person like me. I didn't mind, as long as we could take care of Nina and ourselves, I was happy. But anyway, I didn't usually get out much as I usually stayed home on the computer or drawing, not usually bothering to even get dressed, so I probably wouldn't even be recognized by most of the locals.
"Great. Only a few more days until we'll finally see him." And we'd see him at the Note Blue.
~*Ten Days Later*~
Misa and I were sitting at a table inside the Note blue. "I'm impressed, Mimi," I commented. "If I weren't your twin, I wouldn't even know who you were!" My sister had gotten a black wig, the hair barely passing her ears. And the glasses only helped, no one would recognize her as Misa-Misa. It would also come quite in handy in case the NPA had places cameras in Aoyama and the other places as a precaution.
"Thanks! You look great actually dressed for once!" she mocked. I had my caramel hair brushed straight, letting it hang over my left ear. I also wore a small pair of wings on my back, only about eight inches long. It was something cutesy, but not attention-grabbing.
I ordered for us when the waiter came, allowing Misa to keep watch outside for Kira. He'd be the only one without a lifespan she could see. Not wanting to spend too much on our little trip, I simply ordered us a small basket of cheese-filled bread sticks. Just after they were dropped off and the waiter had walked away Misa found him.
"It's him! Moon Yagami, I believe. Wow that was easier than I though it'd be." She picked up a breadstick and bit off the end. I'd already eaten two and was on my third. "Alright, after this we'll leave."
"What? You finally found him and now you're just going to leave?" Rem asked.
"Well, we can't just walk up to him and say 'Hi Kira, I'm the second Kira' with so many people around us now can we?" Misa explained.
"Right, now that we know his name we can find out anything about him. The internet can be very helpful," I continued for Misa.
~*Later That Day*~
"Oh, so it's written with the Kanji for 'Moon' but it's read as 'Light,'" Misa told me. Immediately after getting back home, Misa had Google searched the guy we now knew was Kira.
"Really?" I asked. "That's unique. I like it!" I liked things that weren't average. It makes you stand out. For some reason, I hated just blending in with a crowd and people that like doing so. In a way, it seemed cowardly to me.
"Yeah, and look at him! He's won the tennis championship in his second and third years of Junior High, he was the representative at the To-oh University ceremony, he's a straight-A student, he's helped the police solve cases they had trouble with, but I can't find a picture of him." Misa told me. "But I did find his home address!"
"Great! Now you can go meet him in person and tell me everything afterword. Uh, you can say that you're a friend from To-oh University and came to give him a notebook he'd left. Of course, it's not really his notebook; it's your Death Note. Be careful not to let anyone other than Light touch it and don't tell him about me, okay?" I came up with the plan on the spot. A weird trait to have for someone as innocent as me, but I was really good at lying.
"Alright, but why can't I tell him about you?" Misa asked.
I placed my index finger between my teeth and bit softly, trying to think of how to explain to Misa why Light couldn't know about me yet. "Well, it'll be enough to take in just meeting one person with a Death Note, let alone two at one time. Later, maybe, k?" It wasn't exactly the whole truth, but it was the best I could come up with. Actually, I just didn't trust Light. I didn't even know him and, unlike Misa, I wasn't going to risk my life with a stranger.
"Ok, then. If you say so," Misa said. She was still skeptical but I knew she'd do as I told her. I'd been the one coming up with most of the plans, why should this one be any different?
"But before you go meet him, we've got to send one last tape to Sakura TV."
~*Three Days Later*~
"I'm happy to say that I have found Kira. To all the people at the TV station and the police department, I'd like to thank you very much."
That was the simple message we sent. I simply wanted to be sure the game at the Tokyo Dome wasn't canceled. That would have made many a fans angry and disappointed. After that, there was a message about how Kira should not be trusted and a bunch of stuff about how you shouldn't use your name lightly. Basically common sense, taken the given circumstances.
No longer willing to wait any longer, Misa left to go visit Kira/Light. Rem followed, but Kay and I stayed behind so as to draw less attention. Yeah, the Shinigami couldn't be seen but one person would be less suspicious than two. And anyway, I'd already decided on not letting Light know about me yet.
~*Later That Night*~
"I told him about everything except you," Misa told me. It was eleven pm, so Nina was already in bed and there was no chance of her overhearing us. "Our parents, my eyes, Rem, the tapes, Aoyama, and how I'd do anything for him. And then…." The blonde girl was shivering with delight. "And then Light hugged me!" She was clearly ecstatic about him. "He's gorgeous! I'm so glad I finally got to meet him! This is going to help a lot! He even showed me his Shinigami! I snuck the paper from him, even though I felt horrible doing that to my love." She touched the paper to my hand and I felt the pulse but nothing in my vision changed, as Ryuk was nowhere near us.
"Yeah…" I felt somewhat odd about the situation. I'm not sure why. Misa was to busy dreaming about Light to notice my strange mood. I went to bed that night thinking for a long time. Misa kept talking but I didn't hear. Moving my thumb up to my mouth to bite, I lay in bed, my mind racing.
Is it right for him to be doing this? Is it right for us to be doing this? I thought. I feel that what I'm doing it right, but I have reasons. I know about government and court and the people I've been killing are ones that have been proven guilty and deserve the death sentence, but they just can't get caught. I'm not doing anything different than what the court does. And I'm doing it more indiscreetly than Kira. I find their name and picture on the internet and write a detailed death for each of them. Instead of having them all die of a heart attack, I make them slip up in a crime and finally get caught, then have them be proven guilty in court, which they have been before, and they get the death penalty. Others that do equally bad crimes but for some reason don't get the death penalty for that crime, I simply have them get caught and die in some accident, being shot at the scene, food poisoning in prison, or something like that.
Not every criminal deserves to die. Some things might have been accidents, they might have been put up to it, or maybe they got desperate. Humans have reasons for doing things that aren't always evil, don't they? So why does Kira kill them all equally? Surly he could see this like I did. Some of those criminals he's killing could have realized what they'd done was wrong and wanted to change their ways. After they go so far as the ones I kill, there's little chance they'll go back, but the petty thieves and such were different. Didn't they deserve a chance to live? Or was any sin at all equal to death?
I lay in bed a long time before I fell asleep. My legs against my body and my head under the covers, I hadn't a clue what time it was but I could swear it must've been four in the morning before my brain stopped working.
Lily: *still rolling on the ground laughing*
Daemon: O.o ...... I'm not even touching you anymore.....
Lily: What's that have to do with anything? haha
Daemon: You were laughing because I was tickling you somehow, we're you?
Lily: When was that?
Daemon: That was like two minutes ago.....
Lily: I remember nothing..... *blank stare*
Daemon: Geez, you memory's bad.
Lily: Yep! Next part up soon! :3
