disclaimer; I own nothing but the idea. :V
"What? You expect us to believe that load of nonsense, Rue?" Raito laughs; I knew it. He would laugh- I wasn't stupid. I could predict things people would do; and I really wished I had been wrong about Raito.
"Fine! I don't expect you to believe it; I expect you to be in shock when I am right. I was right about Kira killing with other methods than heart attack, and that Yotsuba had a connection to Kira, right? So why is that simply unbelievable?" I was angry while I asked; the boy had pushed the last straw.
"You have no proof this ability of yours even exists!" That rat!
"The first Kira mentions to L that Shinigami like apples; the second Kira could kill with only seeing the face, mentioned something about the original Kira not having the 'eyes', and hints that Shinigami exist as well. Any objection to that?"
"So you could be the second Kira?"
My lips twitched faintly. "No you fool! Why would I want to get rid of criminals who don't deserve it- that it is punishment enough to live with the weight of their crime shoved down on their shoulders? If you must know; I don't care about L or Kira! They can both burn, alright?"
"How long have you had these 'eyes'?" L finally takes part in the conversation.
I take several deep breaths to calm myself; it wouldn't be good to explain things when I was angry. "Since before I could remember." Plain and true.
"How did you get them?"
"I wish I knew Ryuuzaki, I wish I knew. I don't know?"
"Prove it that you have this ability." Prove it L? Prove it? Very well. I shall prove it- but you won't like it.
Sighing, I lean so I can whisper in L's ear without Raito hearing; the boy had been Kira at any rate. "Prove it...? I think I already have... L Lawliet."
L pulls away in shock staring at me with his eyes wider than before, and Raito looks between the two of us confused. L looks like he is afraid of me now, but he knows if I wanted L dead I would personally kill him. Not give his name out to Kira to kill with a heart attack- L knows I would make him suffer. But! I don't want L dead; I only act as I do to keep him on his toes. To make him think more; to make him use his emotions in cases. Yet he doesn't do that, does he? No! He just ignores what I try to do so I simply made to ignore him.
"Ryuuzaki? What's the matter with you?" Raito sounds genuinely concerned for the detective; but I can tell this is just because he was missing something. But what? What?
"Yes... I'm... fine. Just; we should believe Rue. His ability is true." L sounds wary now looking at me like I would suddenly reveal I was Kira. Or the second Kira. Sure, and how would I have done this under Watari and your surveillance? It was nigh impossible.

After I told them Higuchi Kyosuke was Kira; the two informed the rest of the team who now looked at me warily as well. They all avoided me like a plague while they set up the trap to catch Higuchi. Matt would occasionally talk to me when the others were in separate rooms and Mello was asleep. I was glad that the boy would sometimes talk to me; it gets annoying when the people you are supposed to be working with avoid you. Just because you know when they are going to die. Geez. I'm used to knowing when people are going to die so it surprises me when L's lifespan grew because I said that. Well! That was interesting to say the least.
The day they set their plan to catch Higuchi into plan they made me stay ad headquarters with Mello, Near, Matt, and Misa. They didn't want me to come in case I'd help Higuchi. Why would I help him? Why would I help Kira's pawn? I intended to make Kira the one who would die, and I would.
It probably wouldn't pretty, either. I would make Kira's defeat as humiliating as possible; he wouldn't be able deny Kira but he wouldn't be able to he had not been doing good either. He would admit that he had been toying with so many people when he had the right; that he led so many innocents like Misora to their deaths. I would make the boy beg for his death if need be! I would; even if my death warrant is signed in the process.
It mattered not to me.
-
When they came back we were informed Higuchi was dead and Misa was sent up to her quarters. They began to hand a black notebook to Near; the death note. Near looked up at something, and introduced himself to it. He seemed slightly shocked and moved to pass the death note to Mello, who snatched it angrily. The blond almost dropped the notebook; whatever he saw shocked him. He introduced himself and passed the notebook to Matt. Matt's reaction was interesting, he didn't drop the notebook, just shoved it in my direction muttering about Pokemon (or was it Digimon?).
I took hold of the notebook, and glanced at the Shinigami- Rem. A slow smile crept along my face; I would be the one using the Shinigami, not Yagami Raito. Not Kira. B. B would use Rem. Easily. I take a peek inside the notebook; reading the rules. I easily determined the ones in the back cover to be false. They sounded to much like a joke to me; so Shinigami had cruel senses of humor? I did not introduce myself but handed the notebook to L.
The rest of the team proceeded to question Rem; but she only responded with 'I don't know' and an occasional answer. It was annoying. So how could I get her to talk? How? Wait- The eyes. These eyes were the eyes a Shinigami had. Perhaps if she knew that, the Shinigami would talk to me? Would she think I was the owner of one of these ridiculous notes of death? No. She wouldn't. Rem was not that stupid? She clearly did not like Kira- but Misa was the second Kira. Was Rem just trying to protect Misa? Yes! That was obvious. I could use that to my advantage.
I turn around in my chair with a slow smile creeping onto my face; I figured out what to do. It would be easy; Rem would understand what I was getting at. Raito would be backed into a corner of sorts; and he might have to forfeit his ownership of the note once more just to save himself. Yes. I liked where this was going.
"Yes, human?" The Shinigami noticed my stare.
"It is Beyond. Beyond Birthday. Not 'human'." There; I throw my real name into the bargain; to show Rem that I wasn't kidding. Rem would know this is my true name; so would L. The others would think this was just another false name. L looked at me slightly shocked, why would I say my real name?
"Very well. So what do you wish to say to me, Beyond?" That's right Rem; be curious.
"Can Shinigami lie to other Shinigami?" Start with this question first. It would be what determined my next question.
"There is no real reason to lie."
"So would you know the answers to the questions you didn't know if I told you this? That I could guarantee Amane Misa's safety? Even if she proves to be the second Kira- it will only be said that she was his unfortunate pawn; that it was not of her own free will that she became the second Kira. Would you know the answers then?" I can tell Rem would; she looks like she enjoys that situation. Then she glances over to L; who is still staring at me.
"I agree to that. Amane Misa is Kira's unfortunate pawn if she is indeed the second Kira. She will not be blamed; Kira will be the one who is blamed for controlling her." L easily agrees to whatever I am plotting. Raito looks frustrated; like this was not apart of the original plan.
"Very well, Beyond Birthday. You have my cooperation now." The Shinigami states, then pauses and says something else. "Why did you ask if Shinigami could lie to other Shinigami?"
"Because if you answered that in a way that was satisfactory I could ask a more... 'personal question'. Or something like that."
"What would that question be?"
"Ever heard of a human born with the Shinigami eyes?"
Rem froze; she knew. Her eyes widened till she was staring at me in complete shock. She knew. She knew. I would know too. The whole team would know. Finally I would have an answer; why was I like this? Why was I? The Shinigami took a step back, and she bowed. What? Rem smiled, and removed herself from the bow.
"Now I have even more reason to believe you will bring Misa no harm."
"You know why?" I was anxious; you could here it in my voice. Raito was looked like he wanted Rem to drop dead that second; no sorry Kira-san. The Shinigami had betrayed you. You only have yourself to go by- ha! L looks curious about this exchange as well. He will listen to Rem; because he would get an answer too.
"Yes. Yes. I know why a human has a Shinigami's eyes."
Yes.
a/n; Ta-dah! Chapter six! Yeah. Yeah. It's a bit strange; even for me. But get with it people! Now I'm going to working on Wild Cherry for the next few days while I try to work out a decent enough reason why B has the Shinigami eyes. The major headaches will probably cause problems as well; but I have lots of ideas already. I just need to find one that fits! X( Well, whatever.
So Wild Cherry will have several more chapters this week; but they'll be longer and such because that story is partially already plotted out. This has barely any planning at all. I just wing it with this story and you people seem to like it. :D
Anyways I'd like to say thanks to my reviewers! So a big thank you and lots of virtual gifts and love to; Translucent Darkness, Akito-Aya, broken0dream, offender229, ih8snape, aisling13, LawlietIsJustice, NekoKitsune104, LadyCupid, greendayluvr93, The Sacred Pandapuff, and CaeliaDanan.
So after this long authors note I say, I hope you enjoyed the story so far and you look forward for the next chapters!
Ja ne! R & R please and thank you very much!
