Moth: Hello hello hello! Here is chapter ten! :O so exciting hehe yay we get to see more of L ^_^ hehehe ! I'm currently working on 11 ask we speak :D Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews ^o^
"But Light, all he wants is you, not me." I stated. L had asked, not directly thought, through his father, for Light to work on the Kira case with him. Since Light is Kira, and he knows that I have the potential to possibly tell someone he wont let me out of his sight. It felt wrong to go in and try and help because I wasn't sure how I could be use to any of them. I wasn't that intellectual I'll admit it, but I'd feel like dead weight. "Did you even ask?"
"Y…..Yeah….I asked. Arika sweetie nothing bad will happen. The worst Ryuga will be a complete jerk and you'll only fall for me even more." Light said smugly. Oh! Did he sense that I was looking at Ryuga? Oh no! Whatever happens I know that I'll get an ear full later. "There is this "second Kira" that popped up apparently." Light said to me quietly. We were still in his room getting ready to leave.
"A second? Are you sure?" I asked. Light nodded. "Oh…wow…" As we walked to wherever we were going I kept quiet and walked behind Light. A second Kira? But how? Light told me that there was only one Death Note, how could another death note get into the human world. One Kira is bad enough––even with me trying not to support it. I don't need any other kind of crap getting in my mind and annoying me. We arrived at the hotel where apparently L was and we walked in. We were let into the room.
"L-Light? Why is Arika here?" his dad asked. "L only requested you–" Light cut him off with his hand waving in the air.
"She knows a lot dad, and she's somewhat helpful. Besides, I asked her to come. She didn't just tag along." I blushed from embarrassment and looked at everyone there. Great! I was the only skirt in the entire room. That's great. I wasn't ready to come here, ugh if Light get's me in trouble somehow with my parents I'm going to kill him. I thought.
"Hi again Arika." L said.
"Hi." I said. I noticed that Light put his arm out for me so I could hold onto it and then turned his attention back to L.
"Thank you Light!" He said.
"No at all. I'd love to catch Kira as much as you want to, Ryuga." Light said.
"I'll have to ask that you call me Ryuzaki here." He said. We both nodded.
"Uhm…I'm Matsui." A man with dark brown hair, almost black said. He had a blue suit on and by looking at him, he looked nervous. I guess this guy isn't around many girls, or many Kira's for that matter.
"I'm Aihara." A man with a tan suit said with some big hair.
"And I'm Asahi." Light's dad said.
"Yes of course, so I should be Light Asahi?" Light said.
"Yes," Ryuzaki said looking at Light and then me. "What about your girlfriend, Arika?" I let go of Light's arm and looked at Ryuzaki. "Rei. We'll call you Rei. Is that okay?" Ryuzaki asked. I looked at him and saw his pale face of white start to turn a light pink color.
"Y-Yes that's fine." I said smiling.
"Okay let's get down to business." Ryuzaki said. "Light, you can start by looking over all the information that we've collected. I'd like you to examine these videos. They were sent to the TV station but never aired." Light took my hand as he began to walk. Something didn't feel right. Well yeah Arika! You know for a fact, 100% right that Light Yagami is in fact the real Kira! You're keeping it because you know he'll kill you. If he wanted to, he could've eliminated you. It looks like his feelings got the better of him. Hey, why don't you try and flirt with Ryuzaki. Oh hush up conscience. I don't need crap from you. I think I won't flirt with Ryuzaki. No matter how adorable he looks. I thought. He really was adorable, but if Light found out anything I'm pretty sure I'd be a goner.
"…take notes and all materials must remain here." I caught the last of what Ryuzaki said. Light sat in front of a big TV while I stood next to him looking around a little more nervous.
"I understand." Light said.
"Let's begin now." Ryuzaki, Matsui, Aihara, and Light's dad left the room and Light and I alone. We watched the video's of the second Kira and I really couldn't believe this. There was another Kira. Light couldn't have done this. When these were supposed to have come out––Light wasn't by himself or doing anything weird––he was with me.
"Light do I really have to be here?" I asked.
"Yeah." His answer was unemotional. "I cannot let you leave. And don't go crying to Ryuzaki or anyone else." He said. His tone changed. Could I have made a mistake? Was Light really like this, or was this Kira?
"…out that I am Kira." The video said. I spoke up yet again. I tried to make it seem like I was helping Light.
"Well Light, what do you think?" I asked.
"What do I think? This video is so vapid that it's making me fall asleep. That could be because of you know what. But this, this video is a complete disgrace to anything and everything Kira stands for. It's making me sick." Light whispered. The other members came back and I blushed from a tiny surprise. Try and put your best foot forward Arika and try to help them. Who knows Light could be caught and you could be framed. Well maybe, but if that happens I still have to worry for him killing me with his own two hands. I thought. Ryuzaki stood next to me and stared at me for a second and then looked down at Light.
"So what do you make of this Light? Rei if you have any idea either feel free to speak up." Ryuzaki said. I nodded. "Have you come to any conclusions?" Ryuzaki had his thumb in his mouth and he looked like he was softly biting the tip. How many weir quirks does this guy have? Oh but it only makes him that much more adorable. Light grabbed my hand and stood up. He pulled me closer to him.
"It's hard to say for sure but there might be another person out there with Kira's power." Light stated.
"Kira's…power?" his father looked completely shocked. "But what do you mean by that Light?"
"To say the least, this piece of crap tape wasn't at all created by the original Kira who's been killing off criminals. It's extremely out of character for him to use these kinds of victims for his killings." I held tightly onto Light and kept taking tiny looks over at Ryuzaki. I'm only a girl, what could I do? Nothing. Ryuzaki was hot and adorable. So was Light. To say the least so was Matsui and Aihara, but they were the least of my concern. Getting back to what we were here for, I think that Light is on the right track. Even though I know for sure he's on the right track. He is Kira. He knows that this isn't the original Kira. It's a foolish impostor. Just one more person I need to capture. Gods of death sure like making my life quite miserable and tough.
"It…it's the same." Aihara stated.
"That's almost exactly how L I mean Ryuzaki said it." Matsui stated.
"I think you are exactly right about that. You sure do have a very clever boyfriend Rei." Ryuzaki stated looking at me.
"Huh?" I said softly. "Oh yes Light is a very clever boy." I stated hugging him and blushing.
"We also believe this is the work of a second Kira."
"So you knew about this all along Ryuga, sorry I mean Ryuzaki?" Light asked. "Which means this was just another one of your tests?"
"Well it wasn't my intention to test you Light. If we hadn't thought that there was a second Kira it wouldn't have been very convincing." Ryuzaki stated. "Rei?" I looked at him. "Even though I don't expect you to do much, but how right do you think Light is about what we're talking about?" Everyone's eyes were on me and I could feel Light squeeze my hand. His grasp was tighter than usual.
"If I had to say anything, I'd say your thought on a second Kira was correct. Those tapes were too amateur for the real Kira to have exposed them. Whatever kind of a guy Kira is, I think he could've done a better job making videos than that Kira." i stated. Stating the obvious. I'm such a dummy. I thought to myself.
"Good. Now the fact that we, Light and I, came to the same conclusion makes the theory that much more believable." Ryuzaki stated. "You didn't disappoint us. Neither did you Rei that was very clever. You two have been a great help. It's settled then. We first must focus on stopping this Kira. From what we've seen his so into the real Kira that he can sympathize with him. He clearly lacks Kira's sophistication. He might be submissive enough to the real Kira he could obey the original. If so we could trap him by sending our own message from the real Kira."
"I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. You took the words right out of my mouth Ryuzaki."
"Oh Light, I would like you to play the part of the real Kira." WHAT? Play the part? Play the freakin' part? HE IS THE FREAKIN' part! He is Kira! I thought.
"Huh? Me as Kira?" Light asked.
"You're the only person I know who could pull something like this off. Do you think you could write a message as the real Kira so we could broadcast it on the news?" I heard Ryuk laughing and I let go of Light, but he didn't let go of me. He realized quickly and let me go.
"Hey Ryuzaki, Light wants to ask you something." I stated walking over to him. Light was still working on his Kira message and Ryuzaki followed me over to Light.
"I never realized how smart you were Rei." He said quietly.
"Hmm? You've only met me a few times how could someone conclude something about someone else?" I asked.
"Well when you have no social skills whatsoever, sometimes childish, and you use your head a lot you can pick up on people very quickly. I first thought that perhaps you were stupid. If I offend you in anyway by saying that I'm sorry. I mean not to hurt anyone. It was a mere thought." He stated.
"Oh no of course I don't take any offense to that. I see you really don't get out a lot. Well don't worry I'll try and take whatever you say into consideration. Besides, I think you're more..cute than Light." I said feeling my face get hot and walking closer to Light. Ryuzaki looked completely stunned. He took the pice of paper from Light's hand and looked at me with wide eyes.
"Is this okay?" Light asked. "I managed to make it very believable."
"You have done a greet job Light. I am very impressed. Now if we can just take out the part of "you're free to kill L" I think we'll be fine." L stated.
"Hahaha oops I'm sorry I mean I guess I got too into the part of being Kira. You can change it any way you like. I was only improvising." Ryuzaki went over and decided to change it up just a little bit. Light took me aside and shoved me against the wall. "Would you quit making small talk with Ryuzaki? I know you like him Arika I am not stupid." He said.
"What? Light no I was just––" He slapped me and became more enraged.
"The last thing I need in my life is for my ex girlfriend and the guy who's been trying to catch Kira to catch him. What would make life even worse, if a certain someone didn't keep their mouth closed."
"What do you want me to say Light? I love I still love you. I really do love you. I've only been talking to him because if I didn't it'd look even weirder. I'm not doing anything to you I swear." I stated. Light looked at me with his suspicious eyes. I felt his anger leave him and he moved his neck so he could kiss my lips and he pulled me close. I kissed him back and held onto him.
"Light hey where––" Matsui walked in on us kissing. "OH MY GOSH! I AM TERRIBLY SORRY! Uhm Ryuzaki has the TV on for us to watch." Light put his arms around me and we walked over to where they all were. We watched the message from the real Kira air on TV and only a few minutes later Watari contacted Ryuzaki.
"Ryuzaki we have a response from the second Kira. I will bring over the tape when I get there, but for now I'm streaming the video so you can view it on your end." He stated.
"Kira thank you for answering. I will do whatever it is you say." The video stated. Who the hell is this guy? Why would he want to work with Light? "I really want to meet you. I don't think you have the eyes, but you don't have to worry I would never try and kill you." IS THIS KIRA STUPID! He's basically revealing the power to the entire world. Damn…now I feel a wee bit sorry for Light. "That's a promise."
"What this having the eyes supposed to mean?" Aihara asked.
"We can confirm through our Shinigami." The second Kira stated.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ryuzaki screamed. Which made me jump and hold onto Light. We watched as he went down and hit the ground with a thud.
"Ryuzaki! Are you all right?" Aihara and Matsui went over and made sure. I was a little worried myself. I guess he's never really believed in a Shinigami.
"Sh-sh-shinigami. Am I supposed to believe that, that Shinigami actually exist?" He asked.
"That's impossible." Matsui said.
"Yeah Ryuzaki, they don't exist." I said calmly. He looked at me and then at everyone else.
"Yeah the second Kira is obviously crazy." Light stated.
"That might be right, but didn't the original Kira have the criminals write something suggesting a Shinigami?" he asked.
"So on that same fact don't you think we're dealing with the same person?" Light's dad asked. "That would definitely explain why we're hearing the same words."
"I don't think so. If this was the same person it's highly unlikely he would've responded to our video in the first place. And why would he let L live after getting into all the trouble gettin him on TV. The real Kira wants him dead. So it don't make sense." Light stated.
"Maybe there's some connection between him and the new guy?" Aihara said. "They might've met and used 'shinigami' to throw us off guard."
"No. I don't think that if that were the case the impostor wouldn't want his plan to kill me. This copy cat has his own way of thinking and his own plan. His motivation is to meet the original." Everything was confusing me. I wanted to help but I didn't think I had the will power to help.
"Shinigami, is a word and a meaning that only Kira and the second Kira are aware of. Now we need to convince the copy cat to tell us what that is." Ryuzaki said.
"Could you respond perhaps in someway and ask for him to be a little more specific on what this shinigami is?" I suggested feeling my face become hot.
"Because he might realize that we're not Kira." Light stated.
"No, from now on we leave it up to the two Kiras." I couldn't help but pretend to yawn and cover up form embarrassment. I hate that I get so embarrassed so easily. I felt Light hold me close and I listened into what they were talking about. If this other Kira really wanted to find the real Kira it seems he'd do anything. Great I don't need to be involved with two Kira's let alone one. I thought. Ryuzaki let Light and I go.
"Thank you for your help Light, Rei. It was very helpful." He stated. I smiled softly at him and nuzzled Light.
"You're very welcome Ryuzaki." I said giggling a little bit.
"Yes you're very welcome. Well I'll see you all later." Light said. I followed him out and held tightly onto him. "Wow I didn't know you could actually be so useful."
"W-What do you mean?" I asked.
"That was just impressive. How you don't lead on that you're smarter than you are Arika?" he asked. I shrugged and looked up at him.
"I don't know…I guess I'm that shy." He smirked and kissed my cheek.
"Come on, I'll walk you home."
"You live right next to me you knucklehead." He laughed and so did I. So maybe the whole liking Ryuzaki wasn't anything, and I'd stay with Light, but then again life has a way of changing things up a bit.
