-:Chapter Seven: Pretender:-
:Ami:
"What a nice day…" I said as I looked out the glass wall of the elevator. I looked down to the street bellow with my nose pressed to the glass. The doors slid open and I walked out. When I got to the door Matsuda was outside; oh lucky me…
"Hey Ami!!" he said and waved. I meekly smiled. It's not that I don't like him; I just think he's…a lot like a high school friend.
"Can I ask you some things?" he asked I simply nodded and he went on and on for about 10 minutes.
"Um, Matsuda…"
"Yes?"
"Can we continue this some other time? I really think we should get inside." I said as gently as I could.
"Oh, sorry. I just thought I should get to know you better." He said sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
"It's ok." I smiled as I opened the unlocked door. Inside I saw everyone look up from what they were doing. Looked at me, and then looked to Ryuzaki, then back to me.
"…A simple hello would do just as fine." I said and everyone mumbled a hello. I dropped my bag and walked over to Light. He smiled calmly and looked to me.
"Any news?" I asked peering over the paper in his hands.
"Well, Ouzo Doji apparently had a heart attack late last night. He was an FBI investigator and he was investigating people who seemed suspicious as Kira." He said.
"So that means that Kira was probably one of the people…"
"Exactly what Ryuzaki said," Light said giving me some papers. "He found these people suspicious. The last ones he checked were 12 students." I nodded and walked over to Ryuzaki; he was eating a strawberry and staring at the TV. He didn't seem to notice me sit across from him.
"Hey Ryuzaki," I said as I looked down at the first suspect; A boy with really blonde hair, blue eyes and a slight smirk.
"Hello Ami. They said our answer a moment ago. They will play Kira's respond later this evening. Light told you about Ouzo?" he said and I looked up. He was eating another strawberry and he was looking at me. I was getting used to his dead voice.
"Yes, I think that Kira probably made contact with him."
"I thought that as well…"he said quietly. He pushed over the bowl of strawberries to me. I took one and bit into it. It was sweet and crisp. I looked back to him and he smiled briefly and looked back at the TV. He was so absorbed in the news, like he was just staring at it.
:L:
It's been a few hours since Ami arrived. As soon as the screen shown K I R A, she dropped the papers and looked at the TV with absolute concentration. I had already thought of what Kira might say. But I wasn't expecting the answer I got. It was a simple threat to me and the people in the investigation and that I should appear on TV. Ami stood up.
"I really think this is a fake. I thought it before but now I'm positive. How would he one day kill a random news reporter and the next give a simple threat? That does not sound like the Kira we know of…"she said sternly. Everyday she seems to be getting denser, not quickly but I can notice it.
"No, I don't think that that this is a fake." I said shoving my thumb into my mouth and the group looked at me. Ami looked perplexed. She had a cute face when she did that. "I think we should view this person as…a second Kira." I said. The others baffled but Light and his father stayed stern.
"A second Kira? What do you mean?" Matsuda said. I silently stirred my coffee and looked at him.
"We can confirm that Kira needs a name and a face to kill; but that wasn't the case with our Ukita," I said and I saw everyone quiet down in memory of him. "This Kira needs only a face and we can conclude that this one has the same ways of killing with a simple heart attack." I took a sip of coffee. I looked around and saw that Ami was in deep thought; now she picked up her papers. Maybe I should tell her…no I'll tell her later.
- - -
One hour after the report. Everyone has left except Ami and Watari is gone for the hour. I suppose I should tell her now.
"Ami," I said and she picked up her head from the suspects. She has been studying them all very deeply, a good 15 minutes each.
"Yes?"
"Did you finish looking through the papers?"
"Yes, but Light told me that there were 12 suspects but I looked at only 11," She said. She already noticed. "Why is that?" I sighed and stirred my coffee.
"That is because I suspect you to be Kira."
:Ami:
Damnit, I already blew my cover. Now I'm going to have to be move concealed. That will be a problem.
"You…you what?" I asked confused. He sighed heavily.
"I said it once. Must I repeat my self? I suspect you to be Kira. Here are the pictures of you that Ouzo Doji took." He said handing me two pictures of me walking. One with Light and one the third day after I got the Death Note. I looked up at Ryuzaki, I had to stall.
"Oh, so it makes sense that you would suspect me, after all Ouzo did suspect me and he died…" I said pondering about what I should say next. There was a tense silence as he watched TV.
"What day is it today?" he asked. I felt angry at myself for just blowing my cover, for all I know tomorrow he can just point at me and shout 'You are KIRA!!'
"Friday."
"Do you plan on doing anything later this evening?" he asked. What is he doing? Is he asking me out or something?
"No, I was going to go for a walk before I go home." I said.
"I would think that someone like you would be out with friends…" he said. He passed me the bowl of strawberries. I took one and ate it.
"It seems that you like them, as well do I." he smiled. I laughed once and picked up my things. I head him say something like 'don't go…' and I turned around.
"What was that?" I asked kindly he perked up and shook his head.
"Nothing, good night Ami." He said.
"You too." I breathed as I walked out of the room.
:Ryuk: ((omg you ready for this? :D))
Ami walked into the room with a mad face.
"Hey how did it-"
"DAMNIT HE SUSPECTS ME!" she yelled. Ahh, this woman has some serious mood swings.
"Well of course he would. Why did you think he asked you to join??" I said as I tossed an apple from hand to hand. She looked at me bewildered. She then stopped to think about something.
"Your… right I guess. But now he's going to use everything I do against me." she pouted. I rolled my eyes.
"You don't have to do much. Just keep on doing what you do now and don't do anything too stupid. You're a smart girl." I said looking to her. She sighed, sat on the bed and began to write in the Note.
"I guess your right Ryuk. What can go wrong?"
(( one week later ))
:Ami:
We all sat in the room with the TV on and everyone doing something. Matsuda handed something to Ryuzaki.
"So it seems that rising star Misa Amane has been missing?" Ryuzaki said. Matsuda nodded happily.
"I'm a big fan of hers." Matsuda beamed. Light walked over from his spot to look at the picture. As Ryuzaki spoke I looked around for any pictures; nothing though.
"How long has she been missing?" I asked.
"For about four months, she's probably dead for all we know." Said Aizawa "Should we mention her in the news?" he asked looking at Ryuzaki.
"If she was dead, we should have found her body by now…but if she is broadcasted make sure it is separate from the broadcast of criminals. We wouldn't want to confuse the second Kira now, would we?" he laughed. That was a first. I found myself giggling quietly behind my hand. I looked back at him and he had his thumb in his mouth, he was thinking.
"Maybe…we do want to confuse him…" He said. Then he began to write something down. It was about a paragraph long and then he stood up and grabbed my arm. He pulled me to a spot by the window. There was a small tape recorder, a microphone, and he looked at me with his big eyes.
"Can you do me a favor?" he asked. I blinked twice and nodded once. "Can you say this in to the microphone?" he handed me the paper.
"Why?"
"Because, I had an epiphany and I realized that if we pretend to be Kira, the second one will buy it immediately. I just thought that you would be a perfect person to do it." he said smiling. Damn, he's too good.
"Fine." I said sternly taking the paper and begging to read of the paper. He stayed with me while I did it, but I wasn't really distracted. When I was done he listened to it and he had Watari take it and 'finish it' as he said. I was looking out the window to see rain begging to fall. I saw Ryuzaki walk up to me from the reflection.
"You did it very well Ami," he said. I continued to gaze out the window. "It will play later this evening. What do you think will happen?"
"Well, I'm not to sure…maybe the second Kira will do something ridiculous…" I said thoughtfully. He nodded and went back to his seat. I pouted knowing that I will have to get closer to him. At this rate he will expose me any day. Within half an hour, the recording was broadcasted. I felt sick, I don't think I should have said yes to him.
- - - -
"Come on Ami, let's go home." Light said as I got my things together. I looked over to Ryuzaki before I left. We were the only ones left with Watari. I felt funny about the whole fake Kira thing. He stood up and walked over to me.
"You were a great pretender." He said. I fumed inside. The word polluted my thoughts.
"Yes, but that just raises my suspicion. What can I do so you don't think so?" I said quietly putting my head down.
"Don't think so negatively. As time goes by, things change. My suspicions will fade not to worry." He said attempting to soothe me. I turned to leave.
"Hey," I said not looking at him.
"Yes?"
"How come I don't see you at campus? You said I would see you, but so far, I don't see you." I said smirking darkly. I had one trick up my sleeve.
"Yes, that it true. My fault," he said.
"Well…how about you and me. Only us; on a date?" I asked turning to see him. His face was pink and his eyes were wide.
"Wh-what?" he stuttered.
"Tee hee, just kidding! But it would be nice to really see you on campus." I laughed. He laughed wearily as Light and I walked out.
"That wasn't so nice Ami," Light smiled as we walked outside.
"I know, I just wanted to see his reaction." I smiled as the wind lightly blew. "He barley shows any expression."
"I know. Hey, can I tell you something?"
"Sure."
"I know that Ryuzaki suspects you to be Kira." He said quietly. I looked over to him and nodded for him to continue. "Lemme just tell you that it doesn't change anything about our friendship Ami. Just because L says that you are Kira doesn't mean that you really are."
"Light, I know he told me. But its ok, I don't mind."
"No it's not ok. That thing he did, make you pretend to be Kira when he suspects you. That wasn't right." He said shaking his head.
"I don't want to have to think I'm best friends with Kira. So can you tell me the honest truth? Are you Kira?" he asked stopping. I stopped next to him pondering what to say. I looked at him sternly.
"Light, I am not Kira." I said sternly. He breathed heavily and continued walking. I walked beside him. The silence grew irritating.
"What do you think the second Kira will think about the video?" I asked. He stiffened and then looked at me.
"I think something bad will happen. I don't know but I sense it." he said. I laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"You sound like such a nerd Light."
"No I don't!"
"Ah, whatever. I need to get you a girlfriend, that's what you need."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that you will lighten up and stop being such a nerd if you had one. A cute, little one with an annoying voice that will want to be with you all the time, and as crazy as it sounds, you will like her because of that." I said smiling at my lady-less best friend.
"Whatever, I'll see ya around ok?" Light laughed as he opened his gate to his home. I didn't realize how much time went by. I smiled a good bye and walked a few blocks to my house. Before I walked into my yard Ryuk floated next to me.
"How was your day Ami."
"Better than the last ones lately, but not as good as the ones coming." I smiled. I heard him scoff something but I ignored him. I snuck into my house knowing my parents were asleep at 10 on a Friday night.
"I was there to see you ask L out." Ryuk said floating through a wall next to the door of my room.
"Ha, I didn't notice you. Wasn't his reaction hilarious?"
"Yes it was. And I found out that there is another Death Note."
"Really? You know who?" I asked eagerly.
"Yes, but I don't want to tell you. It would be better if you found out on your own."
"Pssh, your no fun." I said taking an apple and biting it. Ryuk yelled and I laughed. He took one of his own and sat with me watching one of his late night talk shows.
