Chapter 6

Nadiala Shuai Write 'Were will you go when the music stops' after hearing the word apple or before death at 4:20 from head trauma.

After Ide checked the woman's pulse and verified her as decease, he and Mogi also turned their attention to the message. L picked up his phone.

'Don't clean the message up when you remove the body' he instructed.

'We are qualified agents Ryuuzaki, were not about to forget basic protocol just because we already know the murderer.' Ide replied a bit annoyed.

'Good'

L turned to the still silent room, the chief's mouth was hanging slightly agape and Matsuda looked green. Raito was watching the second news reporter who was sitting quietly in his cell unaware of the dramatic events that had just occurred so close to his immediate vicinity.

L lifted the phone back to his ear, 'Leave the body for now and stay on that floor.'

Raito turned at this and noticed L had taken note of his actions, before he could question L about what he thought the message meant a squeal was hear from Matsuda.

'His moving Ryuuzaki, the second prisoner. What do you thinks going to happen now?'

The man was stepping up and away from his chair like Nadiala had. L gripped the phone, ready to initiate action if it was needed. L was going out on a limb and assuming it would be.

'Get ready to run in Ide, Halijua is moving'

Shun took a deep breath, as he exhaled he started to sing.

And now, the end is Near;
And so I Face. The Final Curtain.
My Friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which i'm Certain.

L couldn't believe it, Kira was truly a child. He was making a mockery of life, there was no justice in it at all only a twisted mind. Kira had to be caught, he was sick and it would be a gross injustice to allow him to gain any real power in the world. L looked over to Ratio who was staring wide eyed with astonishment and what L assumed to be mild horror at the man as he sung his way through his death sentence, it didn't take a genies to know what was going to happen once the final word left his lips.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it Up and spit it Out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it My Way.

Ryuk's sides were practically splitting from his laughter which was echoing loudly around the room for his ears only, it was brilliant!. He had heard the song from a movie Raito's sister had been watching, Raito could get boring to watch in between his insane outbursts which rivaled Ryuk's own. He hadn't been sure if a song name would work in the instructions which had made it all the better when the music had started. The guy's voice wasn't to bad either Ryuk thought.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not Himself, then he has Naught.
To say the things he truly Feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.

As the song neared its conclusion the room around L tensed, Nadiala's death had been horrible, it was clear everyone was nervous about what Kira was going to do to this man.

'Ide, Mogi. Get in there and retrain him'

'Affirmative Ryuuzaki' came their reply as L watched them move towards the cell through the cameras.

The record shows I took the blows –
And did it My Way!

As Shun reached the end of his performance Mogi and Ide entered the room, Shun stood still and silent looking at them opening the second door. As Mogi swung it open Shun rushed at him, barging past with surprising force.

'Permission to shoot Ryuuzaki!' Mogi yelled as he chased the man out of the cell room into the hall.

'Non fatal' came L's quick response.

Mogi quickly aimed and fired while the opportunity was there, the shoot rung through the empty hall and a scream of pain accompanied it as the bullet struck through Shun's left thigh, causing the man to fall with a solid crunch to the floor. Mogi and Ide ran up to him finding Shun attempting to crawl the rest of the way down the hall, destination to remain forever unreachable.

'Were do you want us to take him L?' Ide asked as Mogi restrained the reporter so he could safely carry him.

'Bring him up here, I doubt we will be able to save him anyway, I will call Watari for medical care.'

This instruction jolted the room back into life, as L made the call the Watari everyone except L and Raito drew their guns.

'So Ryuuzaki are we going to have any protection?' Raito questioned.

'We don't need it, even if Kira is controlling him, which I think it is safe to say he is, the man is still an unarmed injured untrained reporter who is also immensely out numbered. We have also just been given proof that Kira cannot make people do more that their own physical capabilities.' L answered

'….those are reasons but I don't believe they are yours. Are they?'

'This is not the time to be picky about my decisions because your stuck with them no matter how much you complain, so would you kindly focus on the situation?' L remarked

As Raito glared fiercely at L the elevator bell was heard, all heads and guns snapped to the door as in opened. L turned from the elevator video surveillance to the pair of detectives and their load.

'Get the pillows from the lounge and lie him on those, see if he can respond or talk.' L instructed.

Matsuda rushed to the seating area to retrieve the cushions and Mogi set the man down on the floor. Watari entered through the stairs and set down his medical equipment next to the bleeding man.

'His still breathing and appear conscious but we can't get a verbal response out of him Ryuuzaki' Ide reported.

Just as Matsuda brought the cushions over Shun started to gasp and twitch.

'Ryuuzaki I think his having a heart attack!' Matsuda exclaimed.

After checking the fluttering pulse Watari affirmed the claim, 'I'll try to jolt his heart but this is the work of Kira I don't expect it to work.'

Shun's eyes were wide, his head snapped back as he tried to gasp more air into his failing body. He was struggling with his restrained arms in an attempt to grasp his chest, the struggling became weaker and then stopped completely.

'His dead' Watari stated.

'Please remove him from the room' L muttered.

Ryuk bounced happily around the room, as the whole fiasco finally started to wind down he walked over to were L was seated, he had Ryuk's special version of 'My Way' playing on screen and the feed from the women reporters cell next to it were the message still stood out just as clearly against the pale floor. As The male human reached the last part of the song Ryuk reached down and torn a small piece of his notebook away in his skeletal fingers.

'Time to say hello L.' Ryuk grinned as he watched the song finish for the second time, he moved the paper close to L's oblivious face.

'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU MORON!'

Ryuk whipped around and was meet with the sight of a truly furious Rem, she was seething hate in waves towards him, her eyes held a murderous glint in them. Ryuk had no doubt that if it was possible she would be stabbing him with the closest pointy object, which ironically was one of Misa's hair pins that was for some reason sitting on the desk Ryuk had backed into.

Having gotten over the momentary shock Rem had caused him Ryuk walked forward again returning her glare.

'I can do whatever the hell I want you stupid sack of bones'

'Didn't I make it clear enough last time?, you fuck up my plans and I will make it the goal of my existence to fuck up yours.'

'Rem, grow a spine. Look at yourself, your prepared to chuck away your existence for a particularly stupid mortal, have you even taken the time to question yourself why?' Ryuk hissed.

'Frankly Ryuk I doesn't matter if I have or not because for you it doesn't make a difference. I may have a weakness Ryuk but it has a expiry date, and if I'm still around after its up your going to wish you had let the boy kill me.'

'I still could, you know that, why are you trying to make me angry. Anyway why do you care so much?. Your right, she has an expiry date, and we both know it's a pretty short one. Why do you think a little extra time will make such a difference?'

'We don't appreciate time enough Ryuk, we don't need to, but they do and she can't do it for herself'

'If you are so concerned by the poor little mortals existence why did you give her the notebook to start with, life is short for them but you've single handedly fucked her afterlife up pretty well too.' Ryuk moved forward more the two death gods were standing about a meter apart, both still fuming.

'That is my own problem Ryuk, as is this. Now tell me what you think you were doing?'

Ryuk smirked, 'I was just making things more fun'

Rem turned away from Ryuk and looked over to the screen L was watching which was playing the surveillance footage of Shun's song again.

'What the hell is wrong with you Ryuk, what was the point of that even?' Rem questioned.

'Not everything fun needs a reason Rem, all I know is that has got to be the most fun I've ever had with my note, there reactions were so funny Rem!, you should of seen them. They were all "What is happening?, oh no!", it was brilliant. I'll do it again so you can see.'

'That's not going to be necessarily Ryuk, stop taunting them okay?'

'I make it a habit to not make promises I won't keep' Rem glared at him.

'What was your idea with showing yourself to L when I came in anyway?, that is by the way a you better not even think about it area'

Ryuk shrugged 'Got bored, figured it would be amusing. Made him fall out of his chair with simple messages wondered what he would do if something like me happened to him.'

'Look I will just have to put up with mild medaling but that goes to far, don't try that again.'

Ryuk sneered 'Using apples to blackmail me is going to get old pretty quick you know'

'I'm sure there are plenty of things about the whole Kira situation the king would love to hear about, he doesn't like you much does he Ryuk. That's a pity, he might just use this as an excuse to punish you, that would be a real shame wouldn't it?'

'You wouldn't take this to that mountain of lard, he would hate you managing to actually become involved with a human so much you would save it, it goes against our very existence and no matter how pissed off he is at me that is worse.'

'The difference is I care less about what happens to me, so remember that and you better stay in line.'

Rem gave Ryuk a final glare before leaving the room the way she had come. Ryuk sighed; she was such a spoil sport. He supposed he could still touch L but the moment was gone, he had wanted to do it when the guy had finished his song so it was a puzzle. Something old Raito would of found amusing as well.

'I guess I've rocked the boat enough for one day anywhere, I suppose I might as well see how good this place has been at worshipping Kira'

With that Ryuk left the investigation room as well, everyone in it completely oblivious to the other worldly aberrations which has just fought right in the middle of them.
