He's My Hero
Hey there I'm back with a new chapter! To everyone who reviewed, thank you so much! I can't believe people actually like my story. So I updated as fast as I can and I stayed up late today just to finish this chapter so I can upload it. It's like 2:30 am here in where I am.
Angie's POV
I was laying down in bed with Chiyemi in Guinea pig form. I was discussing my plan with her but after a while we just started talking about random things. I could tell you what we both said word for word but that is neither interesting to you nor is it important. I also don't want to give out my plan just yet, you'll find out as you read throughout my story.
I didn't have school because it was Sunday. Linda and I couldn't hang out and Sayu's with her friends. It was already noon and I was still in my pajamas, which was an off-the-shoulder black sweater, a white tank top, and dark pajama pants. The sweater has white coloured words 'I ROCK' in bold letters.
I decided to go to the kitchen and eat lunch, Chiyemi on my shoulders. I took some left over salad from the fridge. Mrs. Yagami asked me if I wanted her to cook something for me but I politely declined. Once I finished my salad I immediately went back to my room. I changed into a white short sleeve shirt with random silver, sparkly words in cursive writing, a zipper less light pink jacket to cover my arms and dark blue jeggings. I put my bunny hat on. I never leave without it. I also never take the gemstone necklace off of my neck. I have to make sure that nobody can get their hands on something as powerful as this. Just like the Death Note but it can't be helped, either way someone would pick it up.
I told Mrs. Yagami that I was going for a walk. 'It's already December 3, the day Light meets Ryuk. For 5 days criminals have been dying. The deaths all occur during after school hours and the weekends. It's only been 4 Days and its already obvious, of course that's probably because I already know everything that's going to happen. I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one who noticed the huge change in the way Light acts. He is always in his room now, supposedly studying and doing his homework. During the few months I've lived with them, Light always has time no matter how much homework he has.'
It was a good thing that I am bet observant. I have found a lot of things by my own observation which were never in the manga or anime. They might seem like only minor details to the average person but every detective should know that even the tiniest bit of information or evidence can make a huge difference to the investigation.
I passed by a playground with a few children playing. I stood there for a moment to see the innocent smiles on the children's faces. I must admit, in a way I am jealous of all those children. They all get to have innocent childhood lives. I never did have a normal life, even when my parents adopted me. I was way too smart to fit in with anyone in my school. 'My life is better I guess. Mr and Mrs. Yagami treat me like their own daughter and I actually fit in my school. Then again, my school isn't normal at all. Everyone is way too talented and has their own style and way of doing things. Plus, I am going to get myself into the Kira case which I doubt will make my life any more normal. I believe it will be the opposite. There is an 83% chance that this experience will be even less normal than what I had already experienced.'
"Is something bothering you?" Chiyemi interrupted my thoughts.
"Nothing, just thinking. Oh and remember, when the Kira Task Force puts surveillance cameras, don't talk. Even when I talk to you."
"If there are surveillance cameras wouldn't it be safer if you don't talk to me?"
"To everyone else your my pet guinea pig and pet owners talk to their pets. It would be more suspicious if I don't talk to you."
"I thought you want L to suspect you."
"That's not my plan. Weren't you listening?" Chiyemi didn't reply "Whatever, just please do what I ask. It's not that hard."
"Alright I won't talk when the surveillance cameras are there."
When I got back to the house, it was already almost 5 pm. I went to my room and put Chiyemi on the small desk in my room. Then I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes.
I woke up to Light's scream. 'Light just met Ryuk. I doubt Ryuk will tell Light that I'm using an alias. Even if Light finds out there's nothing he can do about it. I have to act like Ryuk isn't there. I wouldn't be able to see him so it should be easy. Although there's a 15% chance feel like someone's watching me sometimes. Having a super sensitive sense when someone's looking at me comes in handy sometimes but it gets really annoying.'
I sat up and went out of my room. I saw Mrs. Yagami in front of Light's room holding a bowl of apples. Light opened the door "What is it?"
"I thought you'd like some apples, the neighbors brought them over for us. Why in earth is it so dark in your room? You'll ruin your eyesight." Mrs. Yagami said. Once she noticed me beside her she smiled. "Hello Angie. Would you like an apple?"
I nodded as a response and she handed me an apple. I looked inside Light's room, if my eyes haven't been used to looking in dark places I would have barely been able to see anything from the lack of light in the room. I glanced at where I know Ryuk should be even tough I can't see him "Your mom is right. You should turn on the Lights." I took a bite out of my apple.
I went downstairs to find Sayu sitting on the couch in the living room, reading a teen magazine. I sat beside her. She turned her head to face me "Hey, what did you do to my 'interest piece' anyway?"
"I gave it to the principal. She told me you have a talent for writing. You could right about the most boring thing and turn it into something people would want to look into. She told me you could have a full scholarship there. She's still organizing the files. It'll take a few weeks."
"Wait, are you saying I got a full scholarship into that school like that!" Her eyes lit up in excitement. There was also a hint of proudness in her expression. Like she's accomplished something huge, which she, in fact, did. After a few minutes when she calmed down she asked me "Have you noticed that a lot of criminals have been dying lately?"
"Yes and that and they all died of heart attacks. There are already many websites about somebody called 'Kira' whose apparently judging and punishing all the criminals."
"I want to believe that this is all just a coincidence. There's no proof that someone's doing this, people shouldn't be able to kill with heart attacks. It's impossible."
'Well, she's definitely a lot smarter than what was shown in the anime. Sayu was never shown to be a smart person in either the manga or the anime.' "What if someone is killing all these people with heart attacks?"
"Well, then whoever is killing those criminals has a warped up sense of justice. By killing a criminal, he becomes a criminal himself. He thinks what he's doing is for the good of others but the truth is he's just another murderer."
I was wearing my apron. I was baking a strawberry cheesecake in baking class. I just sat there waiting for it to finish in the oven. I was bored out of my mind and its only the first class of the day. Linda isn't in my class, as I told you before.
I heard a ding signaling that the oven has finished cooking the cake. It came out perfectly. I cut 2 slices of the cake. One for me and the other for my teacher to taste the cake and give me my grade. I got an A+ as usual. The cake was really sweet. I do have a sweet tooth. I love sweet foods the best. Well being a vegetarian, the food I usually eat during meals are mostly tasteless which is probably why I crave sweets.
What I really like about this school is that the day is never that same so I can't say 'the day went on as usual'. During acting class, the whole class has to do a completely random improv with a ridiculous topic. We all has to say something and try to make sense out of it. By the end of it everyone was laughing uncontrollably. There is never a boring day in this school. During Science and Maths can sometimes be boring. I know everything that is being taught. I had to make sure that it seemed like I didn't though. As I said before, it will only cause trouble if people found out that my intelligence is above the average 12 year old.
After school, the principal sent me to her office. She handed me a packet and told me it was the scholarship file for Sayu. Then I went to rehearse for the Christmas show. The show is on 15 December. We also have dress rehearsal on 14 December.
When I got home, yes I decided that since I was living there I'm going to call it home, I was greeted by Mrs. Yagami but not Sayu.
I went upstairs. On my way to my room Sayu came out of Light's room. We both said "hey" to each other and i handed her the packet with her scholarship files. She quickly hugged me and ran downstairs. I started walking to my room. Before I closed the door to my room I saw Light come out of his and I heard him get out of the house. I would have started doing my homework but I didn't really have any. The teachers all know that we were exhausted from getting ready for the Christmas show that they didn't give us any. 25 minutes and 42 seconds later I heard Light come back in the house.
'L should be announcing that he is investigating on the deaths of the criminals and that they are murders and not coincidences In the ICPO meeting right about now'
The next day I came home exhausted from rehearsals like I have been every school day since October. I watched TV in the living room with Sayu. Light was in his room 'studying'. Then the show we were watching.
The image of a man in a suit holding sheets of paper was replaced in the background. There is an office like place with other people who seemed to be very busy "We'd like to apologies for the interruption. As of now we are bringing you a live, world wide broadcast from ICPO"
"What?! We're missing the best part." Sayu complained.
"Well it has to be really important." I replied and turned my full attention back to the TV screen. This was the best part. I was really excited to watch it. Watching it as an anime very different from watching it as actual news.
"...I am Lind L. Taylor. Otherwise known as L." I was mentally jumping from excitement and I'm sure it was showing on my face. I mean this news itself is what got me interested in Death Note in the first place. At first I was pretty interested but the news part drew me in. It's the sole reason that I fell in love with the anime.
"Huh, L?" she sounded very much confused. As much as I was annoyed at her for interrupting again I still replied to her without sounding pissed.
Without talking my eyes off the screen I said "How can you not know L? He is the beat detective in the world. He solved the L.A BB murder case."
"I've never heard of that case."
"You know, the Waryo Ningo Doll murder case."
"Doesn't ring a bell."
"How can you not have heard of it. It was a huge case. The murderer is a genius. Don't assume that I'm complimenting his cause I'm not. But it's true, nobody could even get any useful evidence against the guy. Well, nobody except L that is."
"Well, maybe I haven't heard of it because I don't really watch the news."
"Yeah, well maybe it hasn't spread that far. It might have only spread through America that's how I know about it." I half lied part of it is true. I am from America.
I continued to speak "The point is L is the world's best detective. No one can be a better detective than he is." While I was talking to Sayu I was still watching the not-really-world-wide broadcast. I didn't want to miss anything. "I think that's just a test for Kira. I bet its not even the real L." I wanted to say that it also isn't a world wide broadcast but then I would have given out too much information. I let L do it. I could feel Sayu's confused gaze at me.
"Why would you think that?"
"Because, L has never shown his face or given out his real name. So why should he do it now? Kira has been killing criminals all over the world without laying a finger on them. If this is a test for Kira then that guy on television is bait. If that guy dies, the real L would make an appearance and the war between L and Kira begins." I felt her gaze leave which means she turned her head to face the screen.
"...what you're doing right now is evil." Lind L. Tailor the smirked. Then he put his hand to his chest and started screaming and shaking. Then he stopped moving. He died. Then the letter L with a white background appeared on the television screen.
"I had to test this for the case but...I never thought it would actually happen. Kira, it seems you can kill people without being there in person. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just witnessed it. Listen to me Kira. If you did indeed Lind L. Taylor, the guy you just saw die on television. I should tell you that he was an inmate, whose execution was scheduled for today. That was not me. The police arrested him in absolute secrecy so you wouldn't have heard about him on TV or through the Internet. It appears not even you have access to information about these types of criminals."
"You were right." Sayu said in a quiet voice. There was a hint of awe-ness in her voice.
"But I assure you L is real. I do exist. Now, try to kill me! What's wrong, hurry up! Come on, kill me right now! What's the matter, can't you do it! Well Kira, it seems that you can't kill me after all. So there are some people you can't kill. You've given me a useful hint."
I glanced at Sayu for a moment then looked back at the TV screen. Sayu's eyes were glued to the screen. Her eyes was opened wide and there was a look of admiration on her face.
"Let me return the favor. I'll tell you something that I think you'll find interesting. Although this was announced as a world wide broadcast, the truth is that we are only broadcasting in the Kanto region of Japan."
I heard Sayu gasp "That's where we're living."
"I had planned this to message around the world until we found you but it looks like that won't be necessary. I now know where you are. The police treated your first killing as an unrelated incident. But in actuality the first of your victims is a suspect in Shinjuku. Of all the criminals that have recently died of heart attacks, this ones crime has been far the least serious. Furthermore, his crime was only ever reported inside Japan. I used that information to deduce this much. You are in Japan. And your first victim was little more than an experiment. Which means that you haven't been killing for very long. We decided to broadcast in Kanto first because of its large population and luckily, we found you. To be completely honest with you, I never expected that things to go this well but it won't too long now before enable to sentence you to death. Naturally, I am very interested to know how you commit these murders without being present. Bur, I don't mind waiting a little bit longer. You can answer all of my questions when I catch you. Lets meet again soon, Kira."
The show we were watching went back I. But neither of us were paying attention "Wow, L sure is something." Sayu said. I turned my head to face her. Her eyes were lit up and I could tell that she completely admired L.
"We'll he is the world's greatest detective."
"Yeah. He's amazing. I've only known about him for less than 5 minutes and I already look up to him."
"I know what you mean. I have been looking up to L ever since I found out about him." It is actually 100% true. I have been looking up to L since then. I still do actually. 'He is in a way, my role model. My hero.' I added mentally.
Well, there's chapter 7. Yay! I'm not sure if Sayu really is someone who could be a reporter but this is only fanfic so I made her one. And yeah I know, I wrote pretty much the whole broadcast but I just love that scene so much I felt that I just had to write the whole thing. Somehow I found it hard to write the first half of this chapter. It's just a filler really but I still had to write it. it's important. To me anyway, I'm the writer so I feel that it is even though it might not matter to you. Oh and please review and thanks for reading :)
