Chapter 10:Yotsuba Out."
After
two months so far nothing had come up, Criminals continued to die but
nothing out of the ordinary. Light continued to be handcuffed to L, I
resisted making a number of jokes, Light noticed something.
"There
have been a lot of deaths of businessmen, and they've all been in
favor of the Yotsuba company."
"So you think one of them might
have Kira's power?"
"Maybe, are you feeling more motivated now
Ryuuzaki?"
"Hmm we should look into this immediately."
"But
if, they're killing innocent people for profit, then why kill
criminals?" I asked.
"Maybe to make themselves feel less
guilty, who knows."
"Who cares let's check up on them."
Akira added. I then wondered about Akira. Did she want to be here?
Did she still support Kira?
Did being here feel right to her? If
she supported Kira then this would be against her beliefs. I suddenly
got the feeling she only wanted to be here for me and Light. I
immediately felt a wave of guilt go over me. No one had asked her if
she wanted to be here. I wanted to be here, to help L and catch Kira.
But Akira. I made a note to ask her tonight..
Me and Akira had separate rooms but we still spent most time in each
others rooms. Now was my opportunity. "Akira?"
"Hm?"
"I
was just thinking..."
"Thinking? This is a big day for
you!"
"Bite me. No seriously though, do you even want to be
here? I mean with the investigation. You do support Kira and
all."
"Raid what are you saying? That I shouldn't be
here?"
"You know that's not true, I'm just saying if being
here is upsetting you, I mean no one even asked you if you wanted to
help, not that nobody doesn't want you here it just seems like you
were forced into it..."
"Look Raid, I agreed to help because I
have nothing to hide. It is true that I wish that we had never been
caught up in this but what can I do? I
"If you want we can
leave" Even though I didn't want to.
"Whoa, WE? No
Raid,you wanted to come here I'm not gonna let you be downhearted
because of me." "I'm not leaving here unless you want to."
"Well
I don't want to stay if it makes you upset."
"Do I look
upset?" She gave me a look, so I gave one right back.
"Yes
you do, you look like your hiding you seem like you
have something on your mind lately."
"I have a lot on my mind
these days...its hard not to. I have school, the Kira investigation
and the fact that L doesn't like me." L doesn't like her?
"I
don't think he doesn't like you."
"Huh...you keep telling
yourself that. I know that a lot of people don't like me here. Oh
well right? This has nothing to do with me leaving here, I agreed to
come on this voyage because YOU were going." Great now I fell
worse dragging her into this.
"Well if you don't want to
stay here we'll leave you mean more to me than catching Kira or L."
It was true she' was my best friend, I didn't want her upset. Her
face softened. "thanks that means a lot more then you know...but
if only I could leave." What does that mean? She shook her
head.
"I got to go to bed Raid, your my best friend and I
hope you know that...no matter what happens."
"Back at you, no
matter what."
L
had called in some backup, two criminal,(I found it quite ironic). A
conman named Aiber, and a thief Wedy. Apparently they've worked with
L before. Misa had her own mission (it amazed Akira she was slightly
useful). She was going to be Yotsuba's spokesperson. It was dangerous
but apparently she'd 'do anything for Light'. Anyway Wedy had set up
camera's in there meeting room. During there next meeting we all
observed in shock. Apparently they didn't even know which one of them
was Kira, but they were all discussing who to kill and how to kill
them, how could anyone take a life so easily?
"We will have
to see if these people actually die." Shock crossed all our
faces.
"L!" We screamed
"Huh? What is it no reason
to yell in unison!"
"We can't let them die! We have to stop
them we have enough evidence to convict them."
"Yes but we
still don't know how they kill."
"I know but still!" We
can't let them die...
"I have an idea," Light spoke. He
called one of them pretending to be L and stopped the killings for
now. But still we had to bait Kira out of hiding.
It was Misa's turn to perform a task. In other words, we're screwed.
I could tell Akira hated Misa with every fiber of her body. Besides
the fact they both seemed to have a thing for Light. Misa was the
exact type of person she hated. Don't get me wrong I wasn't her
number one fan either. But with Akira there was more than that.
Especially when it came to Light. She agreed with everything he said.
She admired him. I felt the same way, except with L. I didn't have a
thing for him, no. I saw him as a friend. I admired him, he was
someone I looked up to, the only one I looked up to in my life.
Anyway back to Misa's job. The conman Aiber was going to pose as a
detective that the Yotsuba group had hired to find L. He told them
Misa had been questioned by L. So in an interview she could leak
information to them, but all we could do is wait for her, like I said
we're screwed.
"Akira are you going to
finish that cake?"
"Yes, you just had like four pieces."
"Yeah
but that ones kinda big, are you going to need help?" She took a
mouthful,
"Mine!" It was nice to see Akira getting along
with L. Even though I didn't get along with Light. After a few hours
Mogi called us to say Misa ran off. "What is that idiot doing
now!
"I don't know..We'll have to wait for her to come
back."
A while later Misa finally
returned, wearing a skimpy nurses outfit...I resisted to start
yelling 'My eyes! It burns'
"Nice outfit,"Akira
smirked
"Oh thank you Akichi!" Dumb ass. "Misa were
have you been?"
"Getting this," she then proceeded to
play a cell phone recording. Apparently she had investigated one of
the Yotsuba members named Higuchi. How did she know to suspect him?
But the cellphone recorded him admitting to be Kira. "Great job
Misa-Misa!
"So what now?"Akira inquired.
"Now we
have to bait him out,we could use someone on Sakura TV, someone to
reveal Kira, to get him to come out."
"But who does he know?
Who's face as he seen?" Matsuda asked the obvious. Him. He was
Misa's manager. Realization hit him then. "I'll do it!"
"But,
you might get killed!"
"I wanna help! I can do this!" So
it was settled Matsuda would put on an act on TV. Wedy put cameras in
Higuchi's car and the members of Yotsuba would help to. This was it
time to catch Kira I was so excited. Akira seemed to be off in her
own world, like she knew something. Now stop that! She's your best
friend trust her!
This was it tonight
everything was setup. Me, Akira, L, Light and Misa all stayed back
and watched Higuchi from HQ.
The rest of the task force had there
own jobs. It began, the show started and Higuchi was watching it.
When he heard the announcement he got in his car. Matsuda had used an
alias, so he didn't know his real name. Higuchi made his way to the
studio Misa worked at in attempt to find his real name. He also tried
to call Misa several times, but she never answered. Higuchi then
started talking to himself. "Rem is this a good idea? I mean
what if I go there and it's another fake?.....
Yeah I guess your
right I should try." Why do people keep talking to themselves.
"Rem? who's Rem? there's no one else in the car."
"I'm
not sure." I looked over to Akira, she had a shocked look on her
face. Well I didn't blame her.
Finally he made
to the studio. The name we had the there was a fake to. He made it to
the back files. "Now..show me how you kill..." But all he
did was write it down. Maybe that is how he kills.. He went back to
his car and looked at the TV.
"Damn it didn't work!"
Now we were all confused he didn't do anything or did he.
"Rem
I wanna make the deal." What Rem! What deal?! As he continued to
drive. A cop stopped him. But Higuchi didn't have time for that so he
drove away. As the cop went after him his bike crashed.
"Everyone
he's acquired the same power as the second Kira, bring him in! Let's
go!" By go he meant me,Akira, Light, Watari and L get into a
helicopter. Apparently L could fly a Helicopter. Awesome. Watari had
a sniper gun and was wearing a mask. The part of the helicopter we
were in couldn't be seen from the outside. Part of me was terrified
but the other happy to stop Kira. Akira looked like she was waiting
for something. Well she wouldn't hide something from me, she's my
best friend.
As we approached we could see the
cops had Higuchi surrounded. He put A gun to his head, but Watari
shot it out.
"Nice one!" L had them put a headset on
him so he could talk. "Higuchi tell me how you kill, now!"
"Your
not gonna believe me, but a got this notebook and if I write someones
name in it they die."
C-could that be true? Soichiro found a
notebook in the car. And started screaming. When Mogi touched it he
screamed, "If you touch the notebook you can see th-this
thing!
Bring the notebook." L touched and began staring at a
blank spot by the car.
"Come on L, I wanna see!" I took the
notebook from him, and saw the shinigami, it was all white with
purple hair, nothing like the one in my dream.
"Holy shit,
Akira you look to" I handed it to her.
"Whoa! Umm, Light
you wanna see?" She handed it to him. But Lights mouth
opened...and he screamed.
